FalconsIn2012 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Some interesting nuggets in here. Quinn throwing silent grenades at Brown/Carpenter...lol. They gone. Look for Wes at RG which I think will help on outside zone. Quinn let Matthews off the hook IMO. I honestly wish he said the OL is a unit, and since the unit isn’t performing I can’t complement or be pleased with any of them. “A question was raised to Quinn during his Monday press conference: Who among the offensive linemen have you been pleased with for the duration of the season? After pausing for a moment, Quinn named McGary, the team’s second first-round pick in April’s draft; Matthews, who was named to his first Pro Bowl after the 2018 season, and Mack, a six-time Pro Bowler. Unmentioned by Quinn were his left and right guards, Carpenter and Brown. Pro Football Focus currently has Brown rated as the 57th-best guard in the NFL this season with a grade of 53.7, while Carpenter is rated 71st and has a grade of 44.7. Moving forward, the Falcons need to find more consistency in front of Ryan. “Well I think that’s the challenge to say, we want to find consistency,” Quinn said. “And that’s the hardest part of it game and game and game, and series and series and series. That’s what we’re going to keep continuing to battle for.” Reserve guard Wes Schweitzer played 32 snaps against the Buccaneers, taking over at right guard for Brown. Quinn said after the game that it was a planned effort to get Schweitzer snaps, and he may be a person the Falcons turn to if a shakeup is needed. He’s already started two games for the Falcons this season.” Chitown2ATL_Falcon and Rings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Carpenter's contract makes him immune to being cut, which sucks. One of the worst contracts I can remember from TD, who is usually pretty great at negotiating.

FalconsIn2012 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Brown/Carp would look better if this ended up being true: Dan Quinn explains why Falcons offense will be balanced, potent under Dirk Koetter Matthew Tabeek DIGITAL MANAGING EDITOR Make no mistake about it, Dan Quinn wants more explosive plays and a balanced attack on offense. If you’ve spent any time at all listening to Quinn talk about the offense during the season or since it ended, he’s repeatedly hammered home one word in particular: balance. RELATED CONTENT Falcons make additional coaching staff changes Falcons name Dirk Koetter offensive coordinator Atlanta averaged 98.3 rushing yards, 27th in the league, while throwing for 290.8 yards per game, the fourth-most. The Falcons averaged 25.9 points per game in 2018, 10th-most in the NFL, but they scored no more than 20 points during their five-game losing streak. So on Tuesday, Quinn hired former Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter to lead the Falcons offense. While Quinn wouldn’t reveal who else he considered for the position, he did say that there were “two to three” other candidates on Thursday during a conference call with the media. “Let’s start on the offensive side, adding Dirk Koetter to the group, the ability to know how to use personnel in different ways, the explosive plays through the years, the Atlanta offense here will have balance,” Quinn said. “So the ability to add explosive plays and the use of personnel through the years, I’ve certainly been impressed by that.” Quinn said that he and Koetter are on the same page when it comes to running the football and utilizing the Falcons’ weapons. “It will certainly be a blend of what we have,” Quinn said. “He has familiarity with our offense, certainly familiarity with the division and that’s a big thing. The addition of him to our staff, that’s a big piece of it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same narrative was there when Koetter was first brought in. Quinn talks all off-season about emphasizing the run, suddenly it's about being explosive? Ok.

I'm amazed that Wes can be replacing either of these guys and expect and increase in performance. Really the only unknown with hope of growth is Gono, and he is a big if. Why hasn't he been IR?
