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.

No. You can't.

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...

He isnt a big part of our O so it doesnt matter, he didnt even get a ball thrown his way lastnight. Wish he would have retired so we wouldnt have to pay him so much.

Gonzales had 875 yards, a 68.9 reception percentage (better than the QB throwing to him) and 7 touchdowns last season. Sure looks like he's a HUGE part of the falcons O.
