Herr Doktor 6,053 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 The Ollison thing perplexes me. Morris cannot say "he sucks and we hate him". No, he or we cannot create a scenario or opportunity for him. What does that even mean? FalconJim 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gurley either doesn’t have it any more or is a total mismatch for this offense and I have never cared for Brian Hill. Never seen anything there. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollison must have pissed someone off royally to be in the dog house with this sorry excuse for a running back corps. I knew we didn't care about actual wins when we signed Gurley.

4dabirds 3,706 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It doesn't matter who the running back is, this offense isn't built or coached to run the ball. The running game is the most glaring weakness since DK limped back into Atlanta. cwell1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm certainly hopeful that the Falcons get some big time talent at RB and not a late round pick, or some past-his-prime type of player. Most of all, I hope we get an OC that knows how to implement an effective run game. DonOfThemBirds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killing Floor 877 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I love (LOVE) sushi. I could eat it 4-5 times a week and did for a while when I was in Seattle for a stint. But pro tip, don't take it home with you and expect it to be as good even if it was great before, no matter how much you paid for it. Todd Gurley is our leftover sushi, used to be really good, now just stinky and will make you hurl. jstammer, Mr.Blank and Pacific_Falcon 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins 2,028 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) It was obvious SIX WEEKS AGO that this needed to happen. At least. Probably 50 times I thought, "Oh, look, we had a successful running place for once", only to then realize it was Ito. If anyone on the actual COACHING STAFF was also paying attention, and you know, trying to WIN, they would've seen it too. WTH? UPDATE: Here's another blindingly obvious thing in case the coaches can't see it -- get Luke Stocker off the field.

There’s that answer...bout time they admit what they (don’t) have w Gurley. maybe I am reading too deep since I can’t stand the guy, but Dik Koetter seemed bent that he wasnt consulted by Morris about Gurley. I hope so. Koetter has done a terrible job as OC. He played a significant role in Quinn's dismissal and he will be one reason Morris will not likely keep his job. I am glad Morris made the announcement publicly. DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins, 1989Fan and mtldirtybird 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macintez 1,786 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Ito Smith is the best runner on the roster and it took freakin Raheem Morris to see it. Ito will do well next game and we should keep him on the roster next season. He’s BEEN my favorite back on the roster but people keep screaming Brian Hill’s name. People are ridiculous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
