Thiccolas Cage Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I feel nasty for having to go to the Taints website to get insight on him but if he can drastically improve our DLine then I'm all for it.

So he's also going to improve Falcons viewership so the FO isn't tempted to pump artificial stadium noise into games? Say it ain't so. Hire him now.

k-train Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 He’s 6’5” 289 lbs So not only can he be the DC, but he can line up next to Grady, too. 🤪 Win/win situation PokerSteve, ATLskinjob, FalconJim and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaveG Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 This is the first sort of WTH I've seen, seriously. He's been a co-DC for a couple of years and has only been in the NFL 5 years as a coach. I'm kind of hoping this is just Fontenot doing his boy a solid by giving him an interview. Either that or they just know something I don't that makes him a top flight candidate.

FalconAge Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 How do we square his skill/judgment with the lack of Davenports development along with the fact that Hendrickson was seen as expendable? If hes pounding the table for Hendrickson/ saying Davenports gotta go would they really make the poor decisions they've made recently?

Either that or they just know something I don't that makes him a top flight candidate. I kind of like it, he's young (43) and he may be an untapped talent. I liken him to Ejiro Evero who is 42 and was a QC or offensive/defensive assistant before he got a position's coach job in 2017, coaching safeties for the Rams. He did that for three years, then was a secondary coach for a year, then the DC for the Broncos this past year.

Doctor Kildare Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 From his profile on the official Aint site. In his sixth season in charge of the team's defensive line, Ryan Nielsen also served as an assistant head coach in 2021 and in 2022 will add co-defensive coordinator duties. Nielsen has a history of developing players on the professional and college levels and brings abundant experience to the New Orleans defense. Since 2017, New Orleans' 233 sacks ranked third in the league, seven different defensive linemen have produced multi-sack games and the New Orleans defense went an NFL-record 55 regular season and postseason games without allowing a 100-yard rusher between the 2017-20 campaigns and has the longest current streak at 22 consecutive contests. During his tenure in New Orleans, the Saints have ranked in the top ten in sacks four of five seasons and have finished in the top five in run defense the last four campaigns. k-train, ATLskinjob and Precyse 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcanuck Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I’m for it. Terry knows him well. Better than some 70 year old who has been calling the same cover 3 since the 80s. k-train, MisterC and FalconJim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Someone has to figure out how to get a pass rush in Atlanta. It feels like the only one to ever do it was Jerry Glanville in 1977. papachaz, rounz and FalconJim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just never heard of the guy, but I assume we have coaches who would improve your staff that you've never heard of too. It's always good to get a fan's perspective. I appreciate the thoughts.

Sauce Castieaux Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Im curious to see how this plays out. Most teams dont let guys make lateral moves. But i dont see it as a lateral move. Technically its going from a DC to another DC. But Saints did both Nielsen and Richard a disservice by the co DC thing. Dont be surprised if the Saints try to block it. Which is kinda weak imo. He deserves a shot to be the guy. papachaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned it with another candidate who is in a similar spot (Gray -- associate HC and also a defensive assistant). I'd wager when you are interviewing to be THE DC it's considered a promotion, but we'll see how it plays out. Sauce Castieaux 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive already seen it play out with Jimmy Graham and the whole WR/TE deal. Its whatever is convenient for them at the time. JDaveG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
