Falcons postgame

Funny I didn't get to see the game it but described the forearm as awkward. I must have been channeling my inner Mark Sanchez. Thankfully no butt fumble for me though.

Why does our defense suddenly suck? I'll tell you. It is the secondary. They don't know where they should be. Or they are hesitant because they are still thinking hard about it. There's a reason people liked Moreland. He knew where to be and he caused turnovers. What he an ideal speciman? No. They figured more size, speed, talent would be an obvious upgrade. Well, that all assumes they have the same know how and the same motivation. Right now, no one in the secondary is showing either. Remember, 100% of the starting secondary is playing a different position this year. This is a major mistake prioritizing flex vs continuity. I'd rather have fixed starters that are very good, then someone that can start 3 positions that is only good in one and average in others. The truth is, the secondary late last year started playing as a cohesive unit. That is not happening, therefore a 3 second throw is completed as if every throw is a one on one drill. The dline, particularly Chase is getting impatient and freelancing. Which sucks when u can easily synch your rush with superior talent. This is not just coaching. It is morale. It is attitude. You have some folks that are used to losing consistently. They lose their fire quickly.

Agree good point about the secondary. I think they are more of the problem than the dline.

If the playcall asks them to play 5-10 yards off the line and give up anything underneath in order to prevent the big play - is it on the players or on the coaches for not calling the right play?

That question is rhetorical btw - without knowing the play call we can't determine who is the problem here.

I think qb's know they have to get the ball out quick - so what do you do when they do that? You press the receiver at the line and disrupt the timing so the qb holds the ball longer.

I agree the secondary is the biggest train wreck unit, but wouldn’t it help them if Sweat and CY were getting to the quarterback like last year? Less time they have to cover, quarterback is getting rid of the ball before he wants to etc.
The whole defense is awful but I do agree as invisible as our d ends have been the secondary is sooooooooo lost.

Double post

I would add some of the throws that make the secondary look bad are on our LBs for not taking enough depth in zone coverage.

And we still need our DL to produce more, the level of indiscipline by our DEs is unacceptable. They need to re-focus. Fast.

Yes i left the fact that the inside backers are even worse than last year somehow out which doesn’t help the secondary either.

It's a lack of scheme disguise.. Watching the film , these guys show what they are doing Pre snap.. Thta's HS Level of football smh.. JDR is old and outdated ,

Jon Allen and Payne are balling tho.

CY and Sweat (mostly CY) Sucks right now

Yeah I forgot to bring up Hopkins,Thank God it didn’t come down to him kicking to win the game! Since these coaches can’t seem to get their head out of their ass I’m sure they will stick with him and not even bring anybody into compete

So just as I predicted they’re sticking with Hopkins and not bringing anyone in:banghead:

And yet our DBs seem to be confused with our quarter defense, don't they ? It's fascinating...
