Serious question; how did you improve in the offseason? Beside maybe a new defensive scheme, how did you get better?

We replaced our old vanilla Offensive Coordinator with Dirk Keotter. We switched up our scheme so JacQuizz Rodgers would get almost as many carries as Turner and we developed a better screen and vertical game. Matt Ryan also gained 15 pounds OF MUSCLE so he can throw deep balls better. I wish you guys could have saw that game. Matt Ryan's deep balls were so much more accurate and he could make better throws. He was also being much more mobile in the pocket and made big plays out of absolutely nothing.

He was with the Jaguars last year, right? That really worked out for them...

What weapons did he have to work with? none but he damn sure is utilizing all the ones he has now unlike Mike Mularkey, our O is by far better than it was last year already.

And you can tell this by one quarter of the first preseason game? From what I understand he began to open up the playbook.

Yes sir you surely can, If Mularkey was still here we would have ran on 1st and 2nd down for maybe 3 yards if we got anything at all. Than on 3rd down we would throw a 5 yard slant or some bs route that wouldnt net enough yards to get the 1st down. With Dirk we attacked right of the gate with a screen and more vertical routes than we have ever seen before. The conservative Atlanta Falcons are history and thats exactly what we needed because we have the personnel to play aggressive football.

MJD and their O-Line was better than what the Falcons have... and MJD is sure a hell a lot better than Turner or the other one

Matt, Roddy, Julio, TongG, Michael T, Harry Douglas > MJD and a better online thats all he had to work with so the only thing he could do was run and be simple with Blaine Gabbert at QB.

Even with a garbage O-line he still could have did more with us than the Jaguars.

Last I heard Gonzo was thinking about retirement... If you're already thinking it, you're already there...
