The zone isn't the issue. The soft players playing zone are. Sorry you're butthurt, but it's true. Saw the Colts run plenty of the same zones we did on defense and they shut down the Chiefs.

It’s time to move on, But that doesn’t change the fact that the players aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do. Because they’re not. And the mistakes aren’t subtle, they’re glaring.

A Dog Named Brian Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I’d love to know why we’re running a hybrid 3-4/4-3. Not even Nolan’s ‘amoeba’ defense was this bad...

And when the mistakes are constant and glaring ultimately who is the one responsible. When the players have no heart and effort dedication is lacking, ultimately who is responsible? The guy with final say over the roster? Whether it’s scheme or players you end up with the same result. Quinn is getting fired and the scheme is going to change. And some of the players too.

I don’t disagree with that either but guys have to be personally accountable and accountable to their teammates and not just their coach. These boys have straight up quit (and DQ has to take the punishment, no doubt) caring or are just bad. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a secondary more in disarray than ours is. I really think it was DQs last mistake to not name a DC even if he was going to call the plays. falcons007 and PokerSteve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hard to see the defense isn’t making plays even when there’s plays to be made.

Yep. I believe you’re right. We’re delaying the inevitable right now on DQ but I don’t see what is gained by cutting him loose mid season.

Baltimore has an elite D every year despite having cycled through many iterations of stars. The scheme is more important than the players. Good coaches are able to produce results without requiring a HoFer at every position. Yes, the Falcons have a talent and personnel issue, but this is more difficult to fix than Quinn’s inept defensive philosophy. Creating a defence that is “simple” (Dan Quinn has stated this many times) is an easy way for QBs to feel comfortable with what they see.

Creating a defence that is “simple” (Dan Quinn has stated this many times) is an easy way for QBs to feel comfortable with what they see. We’re just going to have to disagree at scheme is more important than players. It doesn’t matter what the scheme is or how simple it is if the guys on the field aren’t putting in the work. Our scheme is “simple” in that we’re not supposed to let anybody behind the secondary and we should rally to the ball and tackle well. There’s plenty of teams that run versions of cover 2/3 in the league that are also simple. Now, are there problems with scheme and philosophy? Yeah there are. But those issues are compounded when we have 1 or 2 players playing NFL caliber football on defense any given Sunday.

Yes. Plus it’s just too much to handle to try to be the HC plus have total control of the defense. Good leaders can delegate their vision to subordinates and get desired results. DQ, just like his players, hasn’t trusted his training. falcons007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
