Glen Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) First time, long time here. I’m excited to see what Arthur can do with the likes of Matt Ryan given what he could get out of Tanny. Edited January 15, 2021 by Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanLegend Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Great play caller overall. Understands the importance of play action in this day and age and while he's not quite Kyle Shanahan with play designs, his route designs to get the likes of MyCole Pruitt, Anthony Firkser and others open was stellar. No idea how he's going to pan out as a full on head coach(no one is going to know, obviously), but I suspect the Atlanta offense will be back towards the top of the league under him if nothing else.

Glad to hear your input. I also suspect Ryan is gonna succeed immensely with Smith like he did under Shanny. Defense is gonna be a question for sure. But where we’re at now defensively I’m really sure we can’t get any worse lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoosh Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I love the hire. Perfect fit for the personnel on the roster now, so I don't expect Ryan or Julio getting moved. Talent wise, this roster is more 8-8 than it is 4-12, so I think we could see a quick turnaround. It'll be interesting to see who he brings in at DC and if there will be a switch to the 3-4. He's well liked, utilizes his best players properly, and gets the most out of them. His success calling plays in the red zone gets me excited, given the Falcons' struggles there for many years. I'm sure Ryan is loving this hire. I know some are down after his second half play calling against the Ravens, but if we took everyone's worst game, nobody would be considered good. I wanted to rip Shannahan's head off for his play calling in the second half against the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean he's not a great play caller. Good start to the offseason with Fontenot and Smith. Can't wait for the draft. Lots of options this year at 4. Might be a great opportunity to trade down and reload, depending on how the board falls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar988 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I like the Pees hire and Ragone is meh. But maybe Ragone brings some interesting loops to the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Sorry guys couldn't see anywhere else to out this... Looking back do you guys think Dan Quinn was treated unfairly after the blown superbowl? Do you think he was a better HC than hr got credit for? I ask for the reason that he might be about to hit Chicago as HC...thanks for any insights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have never let Sarkisian leave after 2018. Sark was doing a perfectly fine job in Atlanta that year and Dimitroff was failing him. Bringing Koetter in was his downfall.

So basically it was the downgrades in OC that hurt him...not so much decision making in game or the culture he had around the building?

His in-game decision making was fine. Downgrades at OC and poor execution at the end of games by the team hurt him. But the talent in the building wasn't that great as we saw this past year. Team was basically carried by Julio, Matt and other offensive weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good DC no doubt about it, but he doesn’t have the capacity to be a head coach in the NFL imo. If he would develop himself more, maybe he could but as it stands now he just can’t cut the mustard and honestly I’m proud of him for knowing that about himself and returning as the DC in Dallas. I can’t think of a coach who’s blow more games with poor decisions than DQ. Dude obviously never even played Madden to manage a clock. Not that Madden is a good standard of clock management but even for him it would have been an improvement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
