Re: Atlanta game
 

So im talkin about the fan base as a whole.

Mike Nolans D with 8 rookies was ranked 10 last season.

What does this mean? I would expect you guys to be happy that you got a good DC but the statement was you didnt get the one you wanted.

Re: Atlanta game
 

Are you telling us that ALL falcon fans wanted Nolan? That's pretty amazing... (in a Stepford Wives kinda way)

Re: Atlanta game
 

So you pick a thread out of a different forum and you then make a generalization that the Saints fan base as a whole wanted your defensive coordinator? One thread in on a different board doesn't speak for the whole Saints nation.

There's a video in the NFL forums up top with a Atlanta fan showing his support for his city and team. That's like me making a generalization that all Atlanta fans are fair weathered.

That's awesome. No one said your defense sucks. So I don't understand what your point is? [/quote]

Our organization got exactly who we wanted. Spags was our front office's target and we got him. As far as the fans are concerned, some got their first choice, some got their second. Some got their third. I know for damn sure I got my first choice. And unless you can poll the entire Saints nation, you're just making a blanket assumption.

Re: Atlanta game
 

Who cares who got who?

The Falcon fans are obviously happy with a 1 quarter look at their starting defense, let them be happy...

Re: Atlanta game
 

Exactly. What's the whole point of this conversation anyways?

"Haha! Some Saints fans didn't get their first choice at DC"

You want a cookie?

Re: Atlanta game
 

I imagine for every fan who wanted Nolan, their was 10 who wanted Spags.

Re: Atlanta game
 

Thanks for the discussion SaintKiller. It's always good to see things from a different perspective.

Re: Atlanta game
 

but neither were fired

Re: Atlanta game
 

Another one below the belt... :bng:

Re: Atlanta game
 

I never cared which one we got. I just wanted whoever we got to be good.

Re: Atlanta game
 

Find a post where I said I wanted Nolan over Spags. I'll be waiting. Then we'll talk. Until that time, Mike Nolan is still Mike Nolan and you Falcons fans sound like somebody who is putting way too much hope into a first preseason game, because they're nervous about the year. Jimmy Graham has not even touched the football yet.

Re: Atlanta game
 

One of my employees is a Falcons fan. He said he would not take Brees even if they traded their backup QB for him. He said he wouldn't even want Brees as a back up.

Re: Atlanta game
 

He's not a fan, he's just a hater.

Re: Atlanta game
 

I wouldn't want him as a back up either-
way too expensive and would challenge the already fragile psyche of Matty Ice. Plus I don't think he has any experience as a holder.

Re: Atlanta game
 

Ranked 10 in what? According to NFL.com, the 2011 Miami Dolphins defense was ranked 15 in total defense.

And 8 rookies on D? Jimmy Wilson was the only rookie active on the defense, all other rookies were playing offense.

Re: Atlanta game
 

well in a few years when his rookie contract is up, maybe he will jump ship looking for a ring too...just like lofton

Re: Atlanta game
 

How do you know that he wont have one? ;)

Re: Atlanta game
 

Because you have to win a playoff game to get one

Re: Atlanta game
 

Ouch!

Re: Atlanta game
 

I beleive you wont be talking about us not having a playoff victory after this season.

Re: Atlanta game
 

Ryan tends to key in on receivers and throw to the same guy over and over.....thats why Jones had a big night. Seem like they were running the same play over and over

Re: Atlanta game
 

Which most likely it was.

I dont know what Koetter does as for being a OC though. It will be interesting, but I said it earlier, Ryan targets 1 guy alot, thats why JJ came away with the stats he did last season.

Re: Atlanta game
 

cause he a falcon

Re: Atlanta game
 

Those all were designed plays to Julio. None of them were the same, though. Matt Ryan also threw a couple times to Roddy during that drive. He threw an on-target deep ball and a drive-saving ball to him.

Re: Atlanta game
 

Let's keep this in perspective (for us & them) IT'S ONLY PRESEASON!!!!!

Re: Atlanta game
 

Preseason or not the Falcons still suck.
