Dirtybird56 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 the Falcons allowed the most yards per game (398.3), yards per play (6.14), passing yards per game (279.9), passing yards per play (7.91), rushing touchdowns (21) and first downs per game (22.4) while finishing the year with the highest third-down percentage (46.8) in the league.Our defense is so sad..it's amazing actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Francis Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) you wouldn't laugh at how many people would flip out and beg for reasons why it didn't work in AtlantaI think those days are over. It is for me lol. That guy just through me off. I, like many, overrated his tenure in Miami.

Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nolan is a clueless, incompetent moron. If they do have success, it will be despite Nolan, not because of him.Yep he will probably have Dockett out playing deep safety and Peterson rushing the passer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I am sure glad we dont have Nolan as our DC anymore!! Don't think he's been hired elsewhere yet. He's still the Falcons DC until that happens or they fire him officially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman88 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yep he will probably have Dockett out playing deep safety and Peterson rushing the passerhe dropped holoti nagta b4 with the ravens, got him a INT b4.. the guy can scheme, nust needs talent to do so, and when you dnt have talent, you try to do ANYTHING(berrman deep saftey) to see if it will work.

We just don't like it because it didn't work well for the birds. It's apart of every DC scheme, just not used oftenBJ Raji Pick 6 INT of Caleb Hanie...Bears vs. Packers 2011: http://youtu.be/gakkGoN4v0M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zone Blitz Scheme reminds me a lot of every DC's favorite ploy, the "Prevent Defense" ~ instead of preventing the other team from scoring, it actually helps them do it more quickly and easily. Hmmm, now that I think of it, I've been wrong about Nolan, ALL NFL DC's are dumbazzes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Seachickens, all hard-nosed, hard hitting defenses, be they 3-4 or 4-3. Not much in the way of smoke and mirrors, just smashmouth ownage.

PokerSteve Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think Nolan will do fine there. He can coach when he has top notch talent.I think I can go along with that. I mean, let's say if Nolan were standing at the top of the Great Wall of China with a division of Special Forces troops, he would very likely be able to withstand the attack of a wheelchair Girl Scout troop armed with water pistols.

primetime Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 There's a lot of Nolan hate on here and tbh most is warranted. I for one thank him for 2012 and really feel if TD actually got him a half decent pass rusher and didn't lose him all his veteran starters (abe, lofton, Nicholas, grimes) we would still be singing his praises. Fuk it I know most of you hate him and will flame away but honestly I blame us not going to the superbowl on Smitty and his crappy conservative 2nd half mentality. Put some points on the board and the pressure comes off the defence and they can play to their 2012 strengths (takeaways and restricting field goals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiruz Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Prediction,They do fine his first season there due to the overwhelming amount of talent, and crumble like an old pie in seasons 2-3 and become terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apart of every DC scheme, just not used oftenWe dont like it because it made no sense. Did you EVER see a lineman drop back as far as Biermann did? Dropping back 5 yards is one thing. Sprinting to drop back 15+ is another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
