Swayzee Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Solid choice. I think he was the Bills DC years ago, that when I mainly remember him from. Edited January 29 by Swayzee Diesel_Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconDawg28 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 As soon as I saw the other day he was not under contract with the Packers I figured this might happen if he wasn’t named the DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsCreek Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 This is awesome news, guy had a hand in helping Alexander become a premier CB, can only imagine what he's going to do with AJ and company. Even before FA has started I'd say the Falcons are making winning moves this off-season. I like how serious our GM/HC has become, they continue to work and do their due diligence when most teams are enjoying their vacation. gazoo, PokerSteve, ratesforless and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely encouraging to see the staff addressing key concerns well before FA/Draft gets underway. Both hires have come from teams with impressive defensive resumes, I like the way year 3 is beginning.

gazoo Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Many wanted Gray as the DC, this is a big deal. He was a DC twice, can absolutely be a huge help to Nielson. mtldirtybird, TheRisen999, Emmitt and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconsfan4life3 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I’m seeing Packers fans mad that we stole Gray saying he was their only good defensive guy. Saints fans also mad we stole Nielsen. Defensive staff shaping up nicely so far. Edited January 29 by falconsfan4life3 ATLskinjob, ratesforless, vitaman and 15 others 12 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints fans also made we stole Nielsen. Defensive staff shaping up nicely so far. Best way to judge a coaching hire is how pissed their old team is that they're gone, lol. Titans didn't like us taking AS and their offense declined noticeably, we knew Shanny would be gone and ofc our offense regressed (Sark pick was a bit odd, also), and he turned into a great HC... as much as I can't stand him for blowing the SB.

Doctor Kildare Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 This is similar to the formula that worked in New Orleans. Nielsen worked with Aaron Glenn and Kris Richard, strong defensive back coaches who were experienced beyond many position coaches. With a strong coach like Gray, it seems that it would allow Nielson to focus on the pass rush and line play.
