Atlanta game

I'm looking through the records, I don't think Nolan or Koetter have ever been on a 13-3 team in their careers.

I am not even sure if Mike Nolan is a good D-Coordinator, I never seen his body of work like more well known D-Coordinators like a Rex Ryan, Gregg Williams, Steve Spags, or Wade Philips.

I consider Nolan a lesser coach of the defense than any of those guys. I remember when Nolan coached San Fran and they never had a defense or an offense for that matter. He went to Denver, not even sure what denvers defense was like last year, it didnt stand out to me none.

Now you got Nolan going to Atlanta, question I am asking is, what is on that roster defense wise that Nolan is really going to use and make a good defense out of? Answer is, I see pretty much nothing except maybe 2 players that are at least decent, I think one is a LB and the other a CB. I think the Falcons last D-Coordinator probably got about as much out of that unit as one could get, I cant imagine Mike Nolan getting anymore out of it, he may end up getting less since Lofton is gone.

I dunno about Koetter, is Koetter the OC they hired from JAX?

All I know is is that they trying to change up to a passing team now more than a running team, they need to know if Matt Ryan can succeed in such a system, when Ryan has been forced to air it out, it has not been a pretty sight.

I wish you guys could have watched that game last night. The starters were on fire. Matt Ryan was just too agressive on one throw and forced the ball to Roddy White, resulting in a pick, but other than that he played a fantastic game. Matt Ryan's deep balls were on point, and he was a lot more accurate.

You Saints fans are the only people who weren't impressed. I'm not going to spend much more time trying to make you think the Falcons are not like they were last year. I guess we're going to have to show you in week 9 this season how much we've improved.
