caponine Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Okay ?? We have to post everyone’s comments about the falcons, and while i agree with him . This wasnt anything to post. I mean what will this thread really do ?? Make the TATF board feel disrespected and proceed to bash finneran for a comment he made. Smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treboyplay Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I heard him on 680 this morning. He may have a point and I’m not around them to know if it’s true or not. But I will say, these Dan Quinn teams have been tougher IMO than any of the Falcons teams since Dan Reeves. Now That hasn’t brought the city a Championship, so at the end of the day it means nothing. But I do see a new level of toughness. Especially from his defense. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Sigh.... They are not even practicing - they are only doing conditioning and lifting weights right now and its only been one day. I swear ATL sports media is the worse lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smh Why would this not be relevant in TATF? If it's something that a respected ex-player feels is negatively impacting our team, why would it not be relevant? im about sick of these individuals that think they are the freaking "thread police".

I think his comments are relevant as much to the front office as the coaching staff. The Patriots trade old players for new draft picks. We keep old players till they can't be traded, then trade more picks to move up in an attempt to make up the slack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows what's up - he was not talking about spring practice, my friend. Further, Finn did throw in there a caveat about the new CBA, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The fuk has Finneran done or won? How many championship teams has he coached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungHeezy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 With all due respect to Brian Finneran, I really don't care about what he's talking about. His chest seems a bit too far out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Brian Finneran knows what it takes to get to the Super Bowl from his many trips there so I would give his opinion a whole lot of weight. Wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Finneran knows enough to have an opinion about Falcons practices. I don't have to AGREE with everything FINN says, just stating that he is not some clueless sportstalking head who doesn't know the sport nor what he is talking about. Also, on balance, my opinion is that DQ is a great coach - I do think he is far from perfect and sometimes Falcons can get a little sloppy - part of that probably goes to discipline and practice habits. Not throwing shade at DQ - honestly cannot think of who I would want as coach more - but he needs to continue to get better - just like the players.

True, but he hasn't played for the Falcons since early part of Smitty's tenure though. Quinn is probably already the most successful HC in franchise history, so I would give Quinn more of the benefit of doubt. Also, the current CBA has made practices more soft all across the league. Coaches have to find more ways to get their teams ready due to limited physical practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Brian Finneran has the credentials to question Dan Quinn. My opinion. Dan Quinn has a method. Finneran doesn't like it? Fine. Nobody should listen to him, being an average receiver for a few years doesn't qualify to matter on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he want to bich about practice he should at wait until they actually start to practice first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaveG Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Finn has been the broadcast equivalent of a wrestling heel for a few years now.

putnam6 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I generally like Finnerman LOL remember that LOL. think he craps on the Falcons cause he doesn't want to be a homer or **** who knows maybe he got snubbed a bit at the Branch by Quinn or Dimitroff. Or who knows somebody gave him this nugget and he is running with it. Or more than likely he just is trying the tried and true stir controversy to get ratings pop on their show.

He IS an excellent talent evaluator. Great coaches don't blow the types of leads he's given away during his tenure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
