The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 He was already a star DC for Seattle and that great defense so there was no way we could have hired him to be DC in Atlanta, he wanted a HC job. And we know how that turned out. Now back as DC in his anointed position he is killing it in Dallas. The way the stars aligned just didnt work out, but I cant help to wonder what this team would be right now with a Top 3 Defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 You really think we could have a top 3 defense with this roster JDaveG, Realsurfin, james b and 5 others 3 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDaLuvMaker Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Both that Seattle and Cowboys defense had a lot of talent. Micah Parsons by himself sends that Cowboys defense to a whole other level.

As Harbaugh at Michigan would say, some people were born on 3rd base and think they hit a triple. That is Dan Quinn with the rosters he had in Seattle and Dallas.

NashvilleFalcon01 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Kind of annoying to see a guy like Malik Hooker find so much success with a Dan Quinn defense in Dallas when the boards were screaming for us to acquire him when we had the chance. We spurned that opportunity because of our loyalty to Ricardo Allen. I wonder how many other gaffes there were like this. Vandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killing Floor Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I think he should have been fired in Houston on February 5, 2017. He should not have been allowed on the team plane. I’d rather be a Saints fan than see that scumbag as a Falcon in any capacity. Diesel_Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_Frenzy Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Quinn is a great DC with an elite defense full of great players. He didn't do anything in Atlanta with a talentless defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 We had our chance to get the man that made the DAL defense great. Unfortunately we drafted Kyle Pitts instead. Diesel_Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitts was truly a generational talent that they couldn’t pass up. I’ll die on the hill that it was the right decision then, and it’s the right decision today.

Pundits did not have him top 5, though he was thought to be the top defender in the draft class by some. The noise around his character didn’t help him, because with his workouts and tape he should have gone higher. Fact remains we could have drafted Parsons though. As you said he wasn’t picked to go top 5 anywhere. I hoped for a trade down to get him, but FO locked in on Pitts, just as they locked in on London this year. I don’t hate the Pitts pick, just wanted Parsons…but that may have just been the PSU homer in me 🤷♂️ we could have done worse than Pitts for sure, but could have done better as well (IMO). That said, looking forward to having him back, just hope they can better utilize him next year. He and London should be a formidable tandem.

I don't think anyone saw Parsons becoming the type of dominant pass rushing monster he became. IIRC, there were questions about his pass rush in a lot of his scouting reports - NFL.com called his rush skills a "wild card". I think he only had like 6.5 sacks at PSU. I think a lot of it is he's just an athletic freak and Dan Quinn is a really great DC who is getting the most out of him. I wonder if he's the same type of pass rusher here? Guess we'll never find out 😆 Summerhill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of it is he's just an athletic freak and Dan Quinn is a really great DC who is getting the most out of him. I wonder if he's the same type of pass rusher here? Guess we'll never find out 😆 Most I recall reading was that The he way he was schemed he had a lot of free rush blitzes, and they didn’t know how he would do engaged 1:1 with a lineman. At PSU he was played more as an off ball LB ( played OLB and ILB) not just a pass rusher, and he didn’t play very long there as he sat out his final year (Covid year). He was a DE convert out of HS though. you make a very fair point though about would he be the same player here. People often overlook that being put in the right scenario can make or break a player. That said, I am very confident Pees can scheme as well as Quinn can. I feel like I even had a thread or post back then about him being the kind of chess piece Pees could do great things with, pairing him with our other LBs (before DeBo fell off). like I said, I am not proclaiming to be a master scout, just watched him dominate since being a true freshman, and was very confident he would be a good one. Part of that could be rose colored glasses being a PSU guy. Nobody can say they knew he would be this good though. It looks like a Pitts wasn’t the only unicorn in the draft class, maybe not even the top unicorn. I will say this though, there is a very similar player/athlete at PSU now…even wears the same number 11. Remember his name, because he will be a high draft pick - Abdul Carter. May have been even better as a freshman this year than Parsons was years back. Had 6.5 sacks as a true freshman LB. SwampyMux12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he was here before DQ and still the same. He was great at fetching TE's WR's DBs tho. I guess DQ and MS had input in that as well🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan excels when someone else selects elite talent for him and he is barred from roster selection. Quinn is the defensive George Seifert.
