I wouldn’t take him if he came for free It's truly amazing the amount of people who have been wanting him. Like do they watch football or....

Wilks will want to at least be the DC and Nielson wouldn't have made (and Saints wouldn't have allowed it) a lateral move to be Co-DC again Kaptain Krazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octoslash Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Can't judge a hire in January but the fact that they got him at this time leads me to hope they're planning some serious FA and defensive draft moves this off season.

falconsd56 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'm pretty sure that if we all made a collective list that he would be very low on the totem pole of guys that we wanted the team to hire. But as I keep saying I really don't care who calls the plays.... I just want to see the team win. If he can help us do that in 2023 then great.

Foo Falcons Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Welp, disappointing. Hopeful of course, but it feels more like a friend helping a friend and hoping for the best rather than getting a known guy that's less of a risk. I continue to be lukewarm on Fontenot. This off season is huge and should be a determining factor in his future here, but we know how Blank works ATLien613, dyrtysouth2000, The Red Stallions and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerSteve Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 39 minutes ago, gazoo said: I see the conspiracy theorists are already at it, apparently the narrative starting to take shape is none of the good ones wanted to come here so we had to settle for table scraps. My goodness, check this guy out, he’s got a phenomenal track record and ties to TF. He’s young, creative, and his defenses have been consistently great. Exactly. This guy is an edge whisperer. Just who we needed to give this D a big boost in the sack stats this season and far beyond. 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. gazoo, Chitown2ATL_Falcon, d.hallmvp and 3 others 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deester11 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 From an old article in the Athletic this describes his coaching style : “His coaching style is pretty much hardcore,” Granderson said. “He focuses and is big on technique and effort. He coaches pretty hard. He wants us to be big, nasty D linemen so we can play out there and destroy people. His coaching style has come a long way. It’s hardcore. vanhino, tbhawksfan, PokerSteve and 13 others 8 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieK Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Some other things I like about the hire: Since he was hired by the Saints in 2017, they've had the 2nd most sacks in the league and their defense has ranked in the top-10 in sacks five out of his six years there. We're getting a defensive specialist and I'm liking the move more and more PokerSteve, Chitown2ATL_Falcon, ATLskinjob and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
