What's your opinion of Jeff Ulbrich as defensive coordinator so far?

[Falcons Fan MVP 3,572]

Do you think that Ulbrich is a good defensive coordinator? Would you like to see the Falcons keep him as DC or do you think he's not the right guy?

[PokerSteve 26,807]

Too small of a sample size, but so far I'm just not really seeing much. I still think it should be on the new HC to bring in his own people, especially the coordinator positions.

[Atl Falcon 3,775]

Looks like he needs some edge rushers.....other than that I think he’s doing the best he can 

[RING OF HONOR 15,962]

No one....I repeat....No one on this current coaching staff should be here next year.

[Norwood all the way! 732]

Idk what to think of him as D coord. Was it his decision to be blitzing the LBs a few weeks ago or was it Morris' idea? That's the kind of play calling I could get behind. Regardless though, that looks to be a one time deal as we haven't seen that kind of defense since then. At this point I'm in favor of just giving everyone the boot out the door and get fresh faces.

[Vandy 38,891]

He’s been an excellent LBer coach. And overall, D has been playing better since he’s been in charge. 
 

I think he’s ready. But he needs some help. Cut the nonsense of drafting a QB now before we need to, but instead focus on drafting some pass rushers and safeties.

LOL, I won’t let you forget. After all, that’s what good friends are for.

You're a good nut, ROG ().

[FalconsIn2012 35,231]

It’s tough to measure him because he has been saddled with a defense that has no NFL DE’s.  He clearly has been great with our LB’ers.

With that said, our best down has been 3rd down and he does not call it.  Morris does. 

[autigerfan 758]

Not sure if Ulbrich is going to be the longterm answer at DC, but  It does seem like the defense has played much more inspired and generally seemed more prepared since DQ's dismissal.  Yeah we couldn't stop the Saints in the 2nd half last week but I think the offense's ineptitude is mostly to blame.  You can expect your d to  wear down when the offense can't stay on the field and the settles for FG's instead of TD's.  The fact is with our offensive talent the d doesn't have to dominate for us to be a winning and playoff team.  Better scheming offensively makes all the difference.  Who else is missing Sark?  (and I say this as someone who thought firing him was the right decision at the time.)

^This, the guy doesn't have much to work with except Grady

New HC will bring in his own DC and with the Falcons luck, Ulbrich will end up the new whiz kid somewhere else. 

[dodge_birds_fan 1,477]

Purge. This staff top to bottom is atrocious

[Snafu 6,666]

I think he should be retained.

And invest in rb and Guard to replace carpenter.

 

[socalriseup 2,261]

Take this how you will. But with how ulbrich has had the defense playing since we fired DQ, we would have win every game if we had a semi competent OC. Just saying.

Ulbrich has done a good job with our LB's, the new coach definitely needs to keep Ulbrich around.  Maybe as the DefCoord..... but definitely as the LB coach.

I would like to see the Falcons adopt the 3-4 defense.  If Ulbrich can coach it as an LB coach,  he would get Fowler as an outside LB.... the same position Fowler played with the Rams.

I like that idea a -lot-.
