DogIsYourName 1,069 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 We need to attack downfield more. Ridley and Julio should win some of those. We are too scared to turn the ball over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KamiKazee27 1,155 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Our collective worries about Koetter in the offseason have come to fruition. I just don't think Koetter is the answer for our offense. Not sure we can fix it. There is no creativity or persistence in the run game. This leads to our offensive line getting their butts kicked and our offense being inconsistent. We can move the ball because of our talent but the turnovers and inconsistency I believe points to Koetter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATLFalcon36 2,826 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Add more plays to his playbook besides: 4 Verts Singleback HB Dive for -1 yard WR Bubble Screen Add the following WCO concepts back SLANTS, ******* SLANTS - Julio and Ridley are two of the best Slant WRs in the game, really Sanu is too. Outside zone runs More pre-snap motion to setup mismatches, not just move a TE to the otherside to check man vs. zone Motion out RBs and use RBs in the passing game as more than just dumpoffs. He also could quit so we can hire a WCO OC, IDK why the **** you would hire a power running, passing heavy air-raid style offense with entirely WCO personnel who are GREAT at running WCO.

Nearly everything about this is wrong. Koetter doesn't run an Air Raid or a power running game. He isn't a WCO coordinator, granted. He wasn't the best hire for that reason. But he could easily make it work. Coryell and WCO aren't all that different when you get down to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is he still trying to run Shanny's offense or can he run his own? This is definitely not Boy Wonder's offense. It's a 4 vert with reciever option routes everywhere.

Dr Long Shot 3,939 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Honestly with how bad our o-line is playing it really limits what options we have on offense. We can't run the ball, at all. That's the biggest thing. We can't run on first down, second down, or third down. We can't run draws, we can't run on the inside, and we can't run to the outside. It was easy for the Titans to dial up plays to defend us in fourth down because we really didn't have a lot of options. This o-line is the worst o-line The Falcons have had since Matt Ryan was drafted and it's really not even close. Alex "all pro" Mack, has played like garbage all season, and he's still been our best lineman. That pretty much says it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

octoslash 18,179 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It looked to me like Tennessee actually did a great job in the defensive backfield. Better than the Colts did, for sure. And of course it doesn't help when your billionaire receivers do get open, but are dropping wide open passes that hit them in unfortunate places...like their hands.

Sun Tzu 7 13,926 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 5 hours ago, ChiefGSU275 said: He has to evaluate his route concepts. Too often receivers are stagnant when making a catch, which allows for the defense to either blanket them or quickly converge after a catch. The concepts do not get players open, it relies too heavily on crisp routes and even then results in small windows for Ryan to get the ball into before a defender is there. And let's be real, that is not Ryan's strong suit. I do not understand how so many teams will have plays with receivers running wide open, yet here we are back in 2014 where our guys are working twice as hard for half the results. Also, the run game has to be fixed. If the defense knows we're just going to pass all day, then they can focus on pass coverage and disregard worrying about any threat of a run game. We seem to have abandoned the outside zone runs, which Freeman excelled in, and now we're back to those terribly designed inside runs where he's fortunate to squeeze through and pick up 3-4. Bottom line is this - every scheme, concept, and play call works to perfection on paper. But if you cannot get your players to execute it on the field, or if the defense is not being manipulated as the play design would suggest, then it's time to re-evaluate. Shouldn't Julio and Ridley be able to beat single coverage? I haven't been looking at film to see if Julio has been single covered but I'm thinking Ridley has. Wasn't that what they drafted him for? To be able to feast on the single coverage because of all the attention Julio is getting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The route combos are predictable and the defenders are obviously aware of what is coming at them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
