FalconFanSince1970 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Shanny. Welcome to Atlanta. Good start to the season, but the Magical ZBS is starting to sputter. The luster is wearing off and the natives are getting restless. Here are a few things you might want to consider:-Do what Kutty did - he took some of Ryan's favorite Mularkey plays and mixed em in with his. The result was Ryan's best year as a pro. Take his favorite Mularkey and Kutty plays and add em to yours. You will like the results. Trust me.-Run the dam ball. You came out with a 46/54 run pass mix and put up 30.3 ppg with an impressive 4-0 start. Since then you've gone 40/60 with a paltry 16.6 ppg on a shaky 2-1, and we needed defensive miracles to pull out a couple of those wins. Be like your daddy. He won when he ran the ball. Stay around 45%. Please, whatever you do, don't go 30/70 pass happy like Kutty did.-Run some hurry up and no huddle. Ryan is good at it. He is on the field getting pre-snap reads, not on the sidelines behind a clipboard with a baseball cap on. Put the ball in his hands. He won't let you down. And don't run so much shotgun. We look like the Giants. Put Ryan under center. Let him put his hands on our no snapping centers' ases. Run some two tights, I form, split back, offsets, even some full house backfields to throw em off.-Go deep. Chicks dig the deep ball. Madden boys and TATFers do too. Stop the short west coast bush it. And all the boots and waggles that cut off half the field. Throw that mofo deep bro. You paying a WR five picks and $70M. Chuck it up there dawg. PM me if you want to discuss this in detail. If you stay on the recent course you gone next year bro. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningThePiszOuttaTheBall Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Everything you said was right but for 1 tiny thing. The magical ZBS is still magic. It's 30% of the reason Free is so effective (the other 70% is because Free himself is magic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slewis1952 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Your problem is that Shanahan is a control freak. Case in point, I have seen almost no audibles from Ryan. When he runs the no huddle and the hurry up offense he is a master. Almost no audibles in the last 3 weeks. Shanahan is no genius, believe me. Let Ryan do what he does best.

Good luck.I have to tell you - that every time I see one of those titles - Get this message to (fill in the blank) and it's by you - I just get a great big grin on my face - and I can't open it quick enough.Not everyone agrees with you on this board - in fact, I don't always agree - but I respect your opinion - and I think you are one of the brightest football minds I know.I love your posts - and I agree so much with so many of your points. This is one of those times.We need to lean on the run now. The passing game will come if we do this. This line, for all the accolades is still learning each other, still learning the system. This line is still struggling, even if we can't see it. There is a lack of rhythm - and when there is a lack of rhythm - Ryan struggles greatly.I believe strongly that time and consistency in the system and the personnel on the line will resolve this. I am strongly hoping that it happens by post season and that until then, we find a way to win enough games to get us an opportunity to still be playing when post season comes.In the meantime, you have good points - give Ryan back some of his "comfort" plays - plays he's familiar with, plays he can find his rhythm in. Then run the damned ball - and run it some more - and some more. Give him some no huddle where he can be in control and help build the confidence of that line and the new players. Good defense - and a good run game equals a struggling quarterback who is learning a new system with a newly put together line's best friends.We need rest - you and I and the rest of Falcon nation. A few modifications, a few concessions - and a little more time to gel - and who knows - maybe we get it.Rise Up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RING OF HONOR Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Ok...let me tell you everything I don't like about this post.....1st...his name is Shanahan not Shanny. .2nd..Uggghhhh???? That's all.....lollol....Everything you said is spot on....Man I wish he could read this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLFalcons11 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Agree with a lot. Don't agree with the comfort plays.I think we need to let Shanahan do his thing as far as the playbook. We, the fans, just need to learn some patience. I'd rather Shanahan be comfortable as the play caller and allow Matt Ryan to use this easy schedule to get used to the plays. Once he does this team will soar, we've seen glimpses of it. Also Matt did run some no huddle in a few games as well and we don't really run any rollouts to cut the field in the half, it's mostly playaction fake, turn around, throw. This Shanahan ego thing is pure speculation at this point. Doesn't mean it isn't true but I would like to get some cold hard facts about it before we starting forming opinions around it.Now the playbook is open more, let it ride.

JDaveG Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Good post. I think sticking to the run is by far the biggest issue. The rest will sort itself out if they just commit to the run game. Matt is at his best off of PA. For whatever reason, we've decided we can PA without the threat of the run in the last few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernscot Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Anyone else think that after all that praise that was heaped on Shanahan in the first 3 weeks (all of a sudden he was a "can't-miss" HC prospect!) he started to get a little too cute? We were gashing the Titans on the ground in the 1st half against TEN and he continued to throw it on first down. Finally got some balance in the 2nd half, but why in the **** do you not give the ball to Free on the goal line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' In DC Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I am old-school as **** and Defense and a really good running game has always been what I thought win you the most games. I understand the need to be balanced but our running game is lights and the passing game is struggling. We HAVE to run the ball more. To me this offense is predicated on the run and pulling LB's and Safeties up for the passing game to work. It also keeps your defense(and the likes of Brees, Rodgers and Brady) off the field. Seattle had huge success with running and keeping the defense fresh so that they could go 100 MPH every single play.I hope Shannahan realizes this or DQ tells him to do it. And then by the time the playoffs roll around the passing game/o-line are clicking along with the run game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconstwopercentsized Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Drops are another problem Shanahan doesn't catch the ball and neither does hankerson. Julio should clean his problems up also red zone turnovers involving center QB exchanges and running backs aren't the oc fault either. You have a silly az agenda and have some psychological problem with wanting vindication for no liking a guy a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zbs refers to running the ball and the run game isn't sputtering. He needs to run MORE. He needs to FEATURE the run game. They're trying to make the story Matt and Julio but the story is Freeman. Like you said we need to stay balanced with the run. Give Matt time to learn the system by featuring the run. His dad ran themselves to a SB like you said. They made Davis the story and not Elway and Smith. Freeman is our story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I like the "2012 was Matt Ryan's best year as a pro" a sentence before he ****** about 40/60 run pass split. Meanwhile, in 2012, we ran about a 33/66 pass run split.Nice. And I agree with the idea of running more....but almost exclusively because we've been running the ball effectively. I also agree with internal consistency in unsolicited amateur advice directed at a professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
