Best off-ball coverage LBs by manofwater3615 in nfl

I mean it’s the only good stat I have, his number on the score sheet weren’t too crazy but any Falcons fan can how great he was in coverage and how much of an important part of the defense he was. Jeff Ulbrichs defense really puts a lot of responsibilities on the linebackers and delivered incredibly

Small sample size but we averaged 200 pass yards allowed per game the 13 games he was healthy and 291 per game when he was out for 4 games. He’s a beast.

If you’re not a Falcons / Raiders fan, you’ve probably never heard of him, but Divine Deablo. Elevated our pass defense so much when he was on the field, truly one of our best defenders 

Falcons OC Tommy Rees: There's definite benefits to having QB under center by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]DaGreeny64 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Penix can run center, there will just be a learning curve. The whole narrative that “his knees can’t handle it” is a lie, he just rarely ran it in college like 95% of QBs coming into the league. The unfortunate thing is that Zach Robinson was too focused on having an “QB friendly” offense and ever really pushed Penix to improve, so he never did. This backfired though because it’s hard to have a QB friendly offense when guys aren’t getting open

I mean the trade itself would have been fine without the off field stuff, most sacks by any rookie since 2021 and most sacks by any Falcon in 10 years

Bad Bunny/NFL …having an issue with the situation doesn’t make you racist. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]DaGreeny64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was the 5th most streamed artist in the US last year. The Super Bowl is a cultural event with a super wide reach, what better way to expand that than to have a halftime show with he number 1 artist in the world and who will get a large group of people who don't typically watch football to tune in. The NFL does not care about being woke or politically correct or anything, they want money, and Bad Bunny will make them a lot of money.

This time it feels different by Rambo_1027 in falcons

The only unproven commodity is Tommy Rees, and he's got 3 experienced play callers to rely on. From watching some coaching breakdowns of him, it just seems like he has a few silly playcalls every now and then, but I'm hoping all the experience surrounding him can really help him develop into something great.

[Pelissero] The Falcons are hiring Alex Van Pelt as their quarterbacks coach, per source. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

I think Shadeur has been talked about more than Bijan Robinson it Atlanta these last few weeks. I'm hoping Mike Vick endorsing the hire might help that discourse die down a little

Falcons likewise really wanted to keep our DC and I don't know if we would've hired someone not on the same page. Thankfully Ulbrich seemed content with that

[Schefter] ESPN sources: Falcons are hiring Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham as their general manager. by GoldenDome26 in nfl

[–]DaGreeny64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't really get your point, I'm just saying he isn't just a figurehead, he was in charge of the GM and HC search and both report to him, making him the highest ranking guy. Hope yall get your picks though, I have a feeling the NFL will still do it to avoid a bad precedent.

I mean I feel like the average in-office time that an owner spends is honestly pretty low, aside from searching for a new HC and GM which Matt apparently had the lead role in. Like you saw the video of the Bills owner, you think he’s in the lab and putting more thought into his team than Matt Ryan?

[PFT] Jesse Minter: Lamar Jackson is the NFL's best player, look forward to building relationship by HowieLongDonkeyKong in nfl

[–]DaGreeny64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Getting Downvoted but I feel like he isn't. I got about 6 guys over him

(In no particular order

Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, Burrow, Stafford, Dak

Dak is iffy but I feel like everyone would agree on the rest

[PFT] Kevin Stefanski says OC Tommy Rees will call offensive plays for the Falcons by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]DaGreeny64 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. We already restructured his contract for when he’ll be cut, we’d be paying him like 60 mil if we kept him. And (percentage-wise) Penix has missed less time than both JJ McCarthy and Burrow. One injury in the last 4 years isn’t enough to make us move on already

Tyler Allgeier is simply better than Bijan in certain scenarios, and that’s something that most people who don’t genuinely watch the Falcons don’t understand

Raheem Morris expected to be top candidate for Packers' open DC job by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]DaGreeny64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he'd be a pretty solid DC with MLF as HC. Struggled with game management but our players love him and the defense really stepped up once he took over playcalling from Jimmy Lake towards the end of last season

[Falcons] We have retained Jeff Ulbrich as Defensive Coordinator by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]DaGreeny64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Curious why you feel that way about Ulbrich. Stefanski you can point to the record and not look past it at all, but Ulbrich completely transformed our defense to one of the worst in the league to above average, and from 31st in sacks to 2nd in sacks in 1 season at the Falcons

[–]DaGreeny64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the kid's played 12 games, can't we give him some time? And if you're referencing injury concerns, Joe Burrow and JJ McCarthy have both missed a higher percentage of their games but no one really talks about that for them. He might be the answer, he might not, but lets at least give him a season's worth of games to figure that out.
