This team is average at best, and add to the fact we can't get out of our own way when it comes to turnovers. Then you have our record for the yr.

1989Fan Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I expect a TON of roster turnover again this offseason. It was done that way in Seattle. Nobody is safe. That is why we did a lot of 1 year deals. not much out there worth a big payday, so we basically filled a roster with a bunch of auditions based on potential. The only Falcons free agents I see getting a second look are Allen, Schreader and Schofield, and they all will have competition for their spot.

Mr. Lubba Lubba© Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 We need to start by getting a GM who can scout the grit in players and not these powder-puff nice guys with just physical measurables that any GM can read up on. It's time to throw some spice into the locker room and not just fill it with all these boy scouts, because when the going gets tough it just seems like they're all like "Oh well guys, let's just do better next week/season." We need guys who aren't scared to get in any other player's face including Ryan and the key to drafting and picking them up in FA will be getting the ones who can do that in such a way that it helps the team and doesn't become cancer. That's the mark of a good GM, not just one that picks all these safe players who are glorified Yes Men in pads who have speed and measurables.We're soft because of the players and FAs we acquire, and coaching can only go so far. We're a finesse team and the only player who's ever shown grit is William Moore and he's fallen apart. The only other player that TD has ever drafted with true grit is MATT BOSHER. Devonta has some grit too but I want to see one more season, and Tru doesn't need too much grit in order to be successful in his position fortunately.

madman88 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 TD, Cox, Robiskie, and throw in Armstrong too. Clean house,we went through 2-3 dline coaches and this group still sucks.. it's not the coaches.Robiskie has coached 2 all pros and made roddy who he is.Armstrong has the record in punt return yds allowed in a season and continues to keep his unit in the top 10.I'm frustrated to, but let's not think irrationally here.We have some good coaches, just bad players.

foreverelway Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 At the post-game press conference, Quinn mention that during the remaining 3 games he would be evaluating players "individually" to find out which ones had grit and could finish and so on. Basically hinting that he has begun the evaluation process for next year's roster.Players will be playing for their jobs in the next 3 weeks and with many of our players entering free agency, it will be interesting to see who will be back next year. However, based on the play in recent weeks, not many players will be re-signed. When I see a team drop passes, make stupid calls, fumble at any given time, I blame the coach. There's no fire from him and the team looks lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Warrior Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if TD gets to stay. Reason being that the excuse for him staying prior to this season was because of Smith. As bad as TD has been he has gotten slightly better the last two seasons. All I know is Quinn looks pissed and I don't think anyone's job is safe right now. Heads will roll for sure, the new stadium will ensure that.

etherdome Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 At the beginning of the season, I was already thinking about the list of players that should be released after the end of the season. My thinking was along the lines of adding cap space for free agents and cutting ties with players that were entering their declining years. I am sorry to say that one of the guys on my list was Jonathan Babineux. Wow, what a mistake. He may be aging, but one thing is for sure, he is a relentless professional. My compliments to him and his character. It is easy and probably natural for players to take the foot off the gas pedal during a losing season. Babs has had none of that.

BirdWeisErrr_2 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Why evaluate when some of the good ones aren't being used or used incorrectly? Roddy has become my favorite player just because he isn't complaining about not being used enough. Me? I'd be pissed and it would be known.

Duff_Man Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 How about we evaluate him? 4th and 1 and no guts for the game, 4th and 1 and should have taken a field goal cost us a game, illegal substitutions, 12 men on the field, clock management, regression of fundamental tackling. This is a debacle and he is in charge.You'd think it was his first year or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherdome Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Good show them the door with td and pioli and robiski and shanny I am in favor of firing Dimitroff and Pioli. There are several good, serious GM candidates that will be available, but I'd like to get our first choice. For that reason, I think the TD firing should take place right now. Initiate a search immediately. That search should include" Lionel Vital: He is an in-house person that has a very good reputation league-wide. Don't let Tommy's boneheaded personnel decisions shade your opinion of Vital. DeCosta: The Ravens GM in waiting. He may be off limits, but I would kick the tires. Duke Tobin: His work with the Bengals serves as a great resume for this youngest member of the Tobin line. Eliott Wolf: He has the pedigree, years of experience (despite his young age) and he has been groomed under Ted Thompson. He drafts BPA. That is what we need from our GM.

Mr. Hoopah! Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 TD, Cox, Robiskie, and throw in Armstrong too. Clean house,Other than the kicking game, ST has not been a problem. Armstrong is a good coach, he needs to stay. Bryant hit the wall of age/injury this season, it happens. But it's no reason to get rid of Armstrong. Robiskie has to go. He's a fan favorite, but he's not doing something right given all of the drops. He's not out there dropping all these passes, but it ultimately falls on him to teach proper technique.

Roddy has become my favorite player just because he isn't complaining about not being used enough. Me? I'd be pissed and it would be known. Roddy did complain earlier in the year to the media. As a result, Shananhan and Quinn spoke to him about his role. It was settled in house.They basically told Roddy "know your role and shut your mouth" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Gordon the guy with off the field issues vs. the guy that's never been in any real trouble. Robiskie didn't turn him into an All-Pro, he should have been a pro bowler in 07. Joe Horn and the Petrino brothers are the reason his career turned around. Roddy was a backup before 07, and Petrino came in, immediately made him a starter and put the ball in his hands repeatedly. Horn taught him how a professional receiver prepares (Which he passed down to Julio and Harry). having a real frickin QB not named Harrington, Leftwich or Redman is what put him over the top. Julio is an undeniable talent. What did Harry accomplish again? exactly. We have yet to develop a legit threat at the 3rd and 4th receiver spot. We always been only 2 deep max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkRoddy was clubing all night and not studying before robiske got there.Robiske talked to him and his mom to make sure this kid does what he is suppose to.He had friends not family, but friends living with him. Roddy also said himself that he's glad he got rid of all those distractions around his home.Also roddy said robiskie was/is a father figure to him.My logic is just fineWhat your saying is true, Joe horn helped roddy a lot, but not as much as robiske.Oh and Harry, when he finally got his chance he went over 1000yds.
