Falcons Fan MVP 3,926 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Do you think that Dean Pees will be the best thing that's ever happened to the Atlanta Falcons defense? Will we see the defense we've always dreamed about? Why or why not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FalconBlood 2,482 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Gritz Blitz defense is arguably the best defense of all time. Didn’t have an offense worth a ****, but they hold either the least points or yards against record. I’d take a top 8 defense. thanat0s, Francis York Morgan, JDaveG and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister pudding 3,257 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Dude, is that really saying anything really? Look at the defenses that we've had the past 40 years. It's BAD when "bend, but don't break" is seen as a positive 408Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle Shanahan had the offense balling in 2 years. I'm assuming Pees will be here 2-3 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We just had **** for offense, so we didn't win anything, and no one remembers. lol Francis York Morgan and Falcons Fan MVP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francis York Morgan 25,540 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 That's pretty lofty. But I do think he'll make this defense respectable, which is more than they've been in a long time. JohnnyFranchise and Falcons Fan MVP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Friendly Folk 1,498 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 1977 Falcons - 129 points allowed all season over 14 games. Best ever in NFL. No one will ever beat that. End of story, end of thread. Please close this thread. rugger8, JDaveG and slick0ne 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GATXBOI 2,008 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm glad that Pees came out and said he is not looking for another job and wants to work with Arthur Smith.. So I think we have our HC/DC combo for at least 3 yrs til it's time to extend contracts JohnnyFranchise and Falcons Fan MVP 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thanat0s 5,169 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 We are the elephant graveyard of defensive coaches. While I hope he's the man with the Midas touch, history says he'll get sucked into the swirling vortex of entropy that is any attempt to build a great defense here. Poor guy.

Em_Jae20 275 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The Grits Blitz is tough to top. As ppl have said that defense was all time great, but if he sticks around at least 3 years and we win a Super Bowl his name will be fondly remember in Falcons history thanat0s and JohnnyFranchise 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheHeartless 542 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 We’ll be lucky if he doesn’t retire again after 2 seasons hoping for the best defense in franchise history is a bit much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
