since68andcounting Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Specifically OC. Sure the OL played poorly. They looked awful. But when you're backing up in pass protection on 70% of the plays, many of which are 5 wide gun with NO run option, it's hard to get momentum and gel as a young OL. This is what I feared most with Koetter. His typical 2/1 pass run ratio. Quinn needs to intervene ASAP. 43 passes, 29 runs. And it was even MORE skewed in the first half. That's a good recipe to get your franchise QB a trip to the whirlpool. Edited August 16, 2019 by since68andcounting GritsPittz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why they are passing more? falcons007, MD-FalconFan13, mikeg272 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since68andcounting Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 We need the reps rushing more. That's how you establish attitude with a young OL. Not to mention if you don't even show the POSSIBILITY of a run, the defense just pins its ears back and comes after your QB. Counting the scramble as a pass, which it was, and ignoring Matt's fumble, we had 9 rushes and 19 throws with Ryan in the game. It's not 2/1, it's worse.

Crazy Trav Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 You guys do realize Gregg Williams was dialing up a bunch of blitzes and pressure packages....in a preaseason game. Most of the time we only see this with a new coaching scheme and I honestly thought it was good to see some of the oline starters get humbled against a a defense that had most of the starters beside Leonard. vel, falconidae, dodge_birds_fan and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm saying. The O-Line played like crap, but the Jets blitzed almost every down Ryan was in the game. Now I would have liked to see an adjustment to protect our QB, but I"m not ready to jump off a cliff yet. They have a lot of work to do.

atljbo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Pre....... season Yall do this every year.... normally its against the Dolphins. Greg Williams blitzed us up in a preseason game ...I'm saying he was doing 6 man blitzes, delayed blitzes in preseason 2... lol... where you knowwwwwwww teams are not game planning for that... I'm happy about it tho.. It gave them some looks they can go over in the film room of some blitzes they will see during the season... So yeah I'm not over reacting during the preseason... Good or bad... I do think we need to stop the shuffling the line thing... let the first team line play te whole first half and the second team line play the whole second half. Also... get well McGary... can't wait to get u out there... hopefully we get some good news this weekend papachaz, vel, slick0ne and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a vet like Matt. The run takes care of itself. There’s timing in throwing. Also did it occur to any of you that no audibles were called? There’s no game planning. Lol. All the qb’s could’ve easily called audibles or protection slides. Never did that happen because?!! There was no game planning. Willians is a blitzing DC so that’s what he’s gonna do. And even that was vanilla for him. That wasn’t the meat of his blitzes. We are NOT a blitzing team. Quinn wants to get pressure with the front and cover on the back and that’s what he worked on. Even with Mack you didn’t see him make any line calls. The line was supposed to look bad. They needed to see that so they can look at film. Next game will have a little game planning. If the line looks bad then worry. But a line doesn’t gel from running the ball. You run to help a young qb. Gelling comes from pass protection. falconidae, Mr.11, Brewcrew and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GritsPittz Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 We need to not tip our hand on whether we are running or passing to help out the oline. It was pretty obvious what plays we were going to run based on our formations. Ryan got lit up because of it. Looked a lot like the Koetter we all knew in 2012-2014.

In the regular season, if Ryan sees a blitz against a 5 wide set, he can audible to change the protections, or to bring Free back into the backfield, give him the ball-break off a couple of 20 yard runs through the holes where the blitzers came from, they'll change what they're doing.

falcons007 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Like others have said there was no game plan or preparation. OC will call plays based on reps he wants the players to get. It’s a glorified practice. Gregg Williams is a scum bag who came out with blitz packages and hard hitting crap. There is an unwritten understanding for most coaches to keep it simple and not risk injuries. The Offense looked good with no prep and Ryan was near perfect if not for 2 drops in end zone.

Da_Truth Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It's not on coaching. Coaches showed how to counter the blitz when Schaub came in and went up-tempo. It's the players on the offensive line muffing up plays. Offensive line STILL struggling to open up running lanes. I'm glad Williams blitzed and put the pressure on them. Showed they didn't know what to do and Sambrailo and Schweitzer are in over their heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the only reason (I think) that the Broncos and Dolphins blitzed so much is because both teams had first year HC's that wanted their first NFL win.

nomak Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 That or too often fans get worked up over a televised, glorified practice. Greg knew the Falcons were going vanilla but couldn't resist the blitz to "look" good. Geneaut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s communication and adjusting the protection schemes . In a regular season game you would have Matt or Mack audible the protection to pick up blitzes and stunts. I didn’t see any adjustment from center or QB. Only thing I would worry is Ty. BoomGoesTheDynamite and falconidae 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
