tl;dr Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Definitely the fun name to spell. S-H-A-N-A-H-A-N. You have to love that.Other than that I will enjoy when some other team hires him to be their OC and our defense gets to play against him. But Shanahan's offense would probably have a banner day against our defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEIST Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I enjoy having Shanny, though he may need to scale back the playcalling a bit. Right now it's on the 'Elite QB' dial when it should be on the 'Good QB' dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLantaFalcon Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well I did enjoy our run game until this gameI don't know, Free is just really good ... I don't know if I want to give KS credit for him. 9ers game plan for him was excellent (which forced KS to use his passing playing book, which I hope he buried under Levi's Stadium before he left) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlfanstckndenver Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Just like people where overreacting when things where going well, the same is happening now. I don't "love" Shanahan, but I do like his schematic philosophies, and whether anybody wants to acknowledge it or not, it's far too early to give up on them.

The O.D.B Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It's love/hate with me right now. Love - he's designs some great plays. He's transformed the offense into what we've been asking for (when it's working). When it's working only the best in the NFL will be able to slow it down.Hate - it's a slap in the face to fans, the team and Roddy that he's being so underutilized this year. Also, lately he seems to be to focused on getting the ball to only a few player for most of the game. Forcing things to JJ has been crazy. We even forced it to him when he was hurt......eeesh, adjust stick and move stick and move then move and stick, switch it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once everyone has the system down he'll be able to spread the ball around more but I'm going to guess it'll still be heavy dose of Julio. I want to know more about what's going on with Roddy. If it's just a combination of Julio being the primary read and not having enough time I could accept. If it's him getting the cold shoulder because he talks then I'm 100% not ok with that. You don't ever, ever, ever, never let personal vendettas get in the way of the success of the team. To me that would be unforgivable.

B3TD Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 We actually have, not only a running game, but the best running game. Any other falcons team and he'd be a god for this alone after what we had before him.That's pretty much all I got, but if Ryan gets out of his funk and talks shanahan into doing it his no-huddle way, then honestly I don't care what they do if we keep running it down peoples throats.

B3TD Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yes, a lot of bad play calls too, but this offense has shown an ability to be completely dominant when they're clicking on all cylinders. It isn't going to click for players or coaches over night how to play this chess match, but look around the league, it can always be worse...

DMT11 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I think his offense is badass if its run right and if that is even possible - thing is with our talent they thought we could pull it off - we cant cuz we dont have the oline talent for the plays to develop and beat ppl - thing is really, most of the Ocoordinators inthe NFL scheme works great when the oline is doing what they are supposed to - its not some magic mystique ppl think it is, players will tell you - they basically run a lot of the same plays, its just getting it to work with ur personel - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe by the end of this season. We saw early on how Shanahan schemes guys open. He can't make the line block, the receivers run the right routes or the QB to make the right decision. I'd bet if we upgrade the center position that alone would get us back to respectable on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is actually meeting all my expectations for this season. And in some cases like the run game, run defense and overall defense the team has exceeded my expectaions.
