THEHEADCOACH Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 36 minutes ago, Faithful Falcon said: No, the Richard Smith was the DC. Quinn fired him after the Super Bowl. Quinn was calling the plays then. He should have been managing the game. His game Management skills has been terrible. He showed that again today before halftime. The TO before halftime wasn't even questionable. That's the call you make there. We lost nothing because of it and had nothing to lose. We had everything to gain though. He put the pressure on them. When your defense is playing great, that's a easy call. Peteshweddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that defense was playing similar to the defense that’s been playing the last two games. Quinn has shown he can put a good defense on the field, guys are acting like he never had any success defensively at all Actually, they weren't. The offense was putting up so many points that it forced opposing offense to abandon the run. This defense over the past two weeks looks more like we were with Abraham.

Realsurfin Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I just think he promised to take the team to DQ (Dairy Queen) if they played nice and won. an incentive program. Less penalties help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL_666 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 If this team keeps up this pace, especially the defense for the next 7 games there should be no questions that Quinn keeps his job. With that being said, that will be extremely difficult to do. Regardless of how strong we finish fire TD Nino11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were on their side of the field, you call it. They were already in our territory. Had they punted instead of going for it, we wouldn't be no better than our own 20 with no timeouts. We probably would have run the ball on first down or took a knee. We are could have turned the ball over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are could have turned the ball over. It was 4th down at the 50. If they get it, they got plenty of time for FG range with or without the TO or they could punt it. If we hold them there, we have a shot at points before the half. We had nothing to lose. It was the right and easy call. He put the pressure on them. They got lucky converting the 4th and still blowed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no major injuries and the players don’t get better all of a certain. So what was the quick fix and why did it took 8 games for Quinn to figure it out? Instead of being happy with Quinn you should be livid that it took him 8 games to get the defense right and the season is basically lost. I suggest you go back and watch those eight games. Player execution was turrible. Rookies and vets. Quinn had em in position and they crapped the bed. And yall blame that on Quinn?

This season is shot and I don’t think there’s a chance to make the playoffs even if they win out. I’m just saying the logic isn’t consistent. Can’t get all the blame and none of the credit The season isn’t shot if the Falcons can win out in the division who knows.If the defense can maintain this sought of play seasons still there for the taking if you ask me. Give me some more offensive execution we still in with a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a lot on the plate. You might see a few head/oc but not many head/dc. Bellicheat doesnt do it. Also I like that quinn move kazee back to safety and how about oliver starting to come around. I get what you are saying but BB is not the right example. BB is calling the plays on Defense this year. He is heavily involved on every little aspect of defense. Heck BB is involved in their offense too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the voice of the great Dan Reeves, "The coaches call the plays but the players have to execute them." How can you said Quinn put the players in position when they lined up in wrong formation, leaving receivers wide open on pretty much every play, and get confused most of the time? Seem to me that’s the opposite of putting them in position to make plays. Now Quinn no longer calling the plays and none of those are showing up. Now the players are in position to make plays, and they are making them to boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was highly impressed in the Super Bowl when we played in Man Coverage. Brady is a virtual statue. He had one run, but I would have given that play all night. When we did, Brady was pressured, and our defense was effective. 28-3 was not a part of what people are calling a curse. It's part of poor management. We played in soft zone most of the game. When the lead was only 28-20, 1st and 2nd down, we pressured Brady. He couldn't do anything. 3rd down, we got back into the soft zone. The rest is history. Brady probably didn't throw a pass over 10 yards, but we played like he was throwing the deep ball. It is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If A coach has lost the team and players don’t believe in the scheme players will show that because they understand its them getting threw under the bus. 36 minutes ago, Faithful Falcon said: What's impressive, a HC calling plays on Offense or Defense, or a HC orchestrating his staff to make the right calls?
