Thelonious Mingus Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 He is a primary 3-4 guy who can switch to 4-3. Not the other way around.Better believe Nolan told Smitty/Pioli he is tired of having to change his "format". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Nolan, but I have been underwhelmed by him these last 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArthursMoustache Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Better believe that Nolan will have no excuses for having a garbage defense this year. I like Nolan, but I have been underwhelmed by him these last 2 seasons. You do know that Spoon was out for half the year, Biermann out from the 3rd game. And we had DeCoud. You really think we aren't going to better than 31st?His 1st season the defense played well. This year they were on the field way too often with the offense playing horrid. A healthy run game makes a lot of that go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest F_A_1_C_O_N Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 This did not need it's own threadover half the threads here don't need to be started. I had to actually go another falcons site to see who we signed. there is way to much threads on nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play smart football, get the lead, run the clock out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lubba Lubba© Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 What if Nolan just isn't a great DC? Then he sure has the league fooled because he's been in at least a NFL DC role for the past 20 years minus 1 year as a WR coach and the other 3 years as a head coach.

CEO_PARLAY Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I read an article where they were saying (the front office) was running the defensive scheme that our players suited. Obviously they determined that the talent level sucked so they are deciding to build talent that suits a 3-4 base hybrid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Captain Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If he (Nolan) is getting what he wants and needs for a primarily 3-4, where do Babs and Peters fit? DE?I remember Babs getting a few snaps on the edge in our 4-3, but dont recall Peters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think we aren't going to better than 31st?A healthy run game makes a lot of that go away.I do know there were injuries, and that the offense made things much harder by not sustaining drives. However, there is no excuse for why our safety's were never recognizing mismatches, or why they were often out of position, and this went on all season. This also was the case in the NFCG. Scheme, bad offense and injuries aside, our D has played stupid for the better part of 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
