He seems to me to be a guy that's innovative, but trusts his system as well. If you look at how he's teaching it in that video, he isn't trying to replicate everything Alex Gibbs ever did, but he is taking the principles and saying "these principles work -- how can I teach them better?"

Print Tshirts? JK. I like the attention to detail on every aspect including coaching. The schemes, playbooks and principles aren’t drastically different but how you implement and call plays can make huge difference.

It's being technically sound and smart, not necessarily being some massive bruiser. We don't really have bruisers for sure.

celtiksage 2,880 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 24 minutes ago, kenn.junior said: i get that so what is their highest sack game they gave up I was just messing with you. Not sure on an answer. I'll have to look into it and find the article where the average was .75 sacks a game. It couldn't have been his last year with Louisville because they kinda sucked (although they averaged almost 30 points a game). Maybe it was in his last year at NC. I'll have to find the article again and do some research. Watching that video though, he looks legit. He's a Gibbs disciple from when he was with Wash and Atl. Was that during Turner the Burner's time? Funny how connected coaches seem to be throughout their careers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's projected often in the 3rd, but if we trade back and land a late 2nd round pick, I wouldn't be mad. There's some awesome change of pace (one cut speedsters) later in the draft to that could be great complements to him if we double dip in the 5th and later rounds. Be even better if one or two of those are picked up as UDFAs. Ito could work. He's dancing in the hole less and less as he gets experience. FalconsIn2012 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not only do the better college position coaches is used to truly teaching but they also have a feel for the college players they tried to recruit.

He could be the dc in waiting. Now that we have a better idea of the staff the speculation about the free agents will be fun. I already have 3 or 4 guys who are set to be UFA that I could see joining the Falcons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is giving a clinic on the wide zone scheme, which is what Coach Smith ran in TN. Former NFL lineman who has been coaching O-lines for almost 15+ years. This could be a great hire! Great video! Consider these 4 things: Fontenot knows how to build an offensive line, Arthur Smith knows how to run the ball, Dwayne Ledford appears legit, and no more Dirk Koetter. I have absolutely no doubt our offensive line will take a massive step forward. Peteshweddy, papachaz, vitaman and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
