SirCzah Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I am typically all about pass rush, but looking at how flaccid our stacked offense is, we desperately need to get our running game going again. I like Hill and Ollie, but I don't see either as anything more than change of pace backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Give me an adequate and competent OC, watch the run game come alive. I'm ok with taking a RB in mid to late rd's, but I want to fix this defense. The offense has been Koetter'd and can be corrected with the right caller who understands his personnel and how to utilize them.

GATXBOI Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I think the front seven should be the team 1st two picks, particularly edge rusher and linebacker for that 2nd pick in the second round maybe Corner or Running back.

That may be the route, and if so happy trails to Free. Right now I just want the OC gone.

The other guy is a high priced FA and they spent big in FA for the other guard spot. When it comes to investing in the run game there’s not much more they can do.

MAD597 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Pass rush but not by wasting another pick on an Edge rusher. TD is not capable of drafting a good pass rusher. Draft a huge 330lbs DT in the first round then another huge DT in the 3rd rd. Having more beef on the line will allow more pressure on the QB.

Norwood all the way! Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 We can score close to/at 30 points a game. We should be able to win games. I was towards adding to the OLine but then changed my mind. Our pass rush has been lacking (duh). But so far whatever we have done to address it has fallen on its face. But I would still vote for pass rush SirCzah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like under this regime, we are pouring alot of early picks and FA cap into our lines and have treated RB as an afterthought. The league seems to be readjusting again and the RB position is becoming a more vital peace (particularly against defenses that are getting smaller). Just feels like it is time to spend atleast one offseason to polishing off some of that neglect. Rings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we move on from Dirk, I'm fine with keeping Free and I think he will be fine in another scheme. If we don't then we need to move on from Free because he doesn't work in Dirks' scheme. Didn't in 2014 as a rookie, hasn't in 2019 either. SirCzah and Chitown2ATL_Falcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconfansince66 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Fire our OC and hire the QB coach from the Saints as OC. His name is... Lombardi. That way, we can say we have a 'Lombardi' even if we don't win one... SirCzah, JDaveG and Peteshweddy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike barn87987 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 We took Lindstrom at 14 and he was considered a 2nd rd pick. If we are picking 14-17 I know Brown and Simmons are gone. I would take the best LG in Shane Lemieux and then Marvin Wilson 2nd. Or even Gallimore 2nd if he is there. But LG is an issue. Some say Gono but he can’t beat out Schweitzer evidently. If they took Lindstrom at14 I would definitely take Lemieux to hold down LG. We can still get a good DT round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonobeast Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Defense first Offense - needs better player friendly schemes. Plenty of talent. HoF Qb , Wr. Good young ol.

I think Gono has not learned LG yet. He’s learned 3 spots so far. I’ve said Gono on the left side is his best side. I think he will crush it at LG. He was a man among boys in the 1 game he played RG. Play Gonobeast. He’s been ready. Wasting $ going anything ol in draft except for a young C maybe. Plug the holes elsewhere. But Falcons have to consider finding a future Qb as well. Burrows is good!

autigerfan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The running game can be addressed with our 2nd through 4th round picks. We have to address the DL in a big way. No one is irreplaceable except Grady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_666 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We do need pass rush help, but our OL is still the weakest area on the team. Can't pass protect, can't run block. Just terrible. Lindstrom showed a lot of promise, but Mack is getting old, Matthews is just slightly above average, LG is a trainwreck and McGary has a way to go. I wouldn't be at all upset if we double dipped on the OL again this year like we did last year. I know everyone will completely disagree, but we need OL help desperately. Look at the long runs the Saints and NE have been on. One constant for those teams is rock solid OL play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
