Falcons: Amateur Opinion: our coordinators

[Jesus]

Nice to hear someone say something reasonable around here. The first thing fans say when things go bad is fire the coordinators. When a head coach starts to see things go sour the first thing he does is fire the coordinators. Of course neither of these solves the problem. While in Denver Shanahan fired coordinators left and right after losing seasons but the problems were never solved. Consistency is the key to success in the NFL.

Everyone is down on the coordinators when the team loses but no one ever lauds them when the team succeeds. Did you not see the reaction by Van Gorder when Peters jumped offsides? It wasn't BVG's fault in Tampa it was the player, but people will blame Van Gorder. In fact the Defense looked real good on Sunday.

Its fun to read the chat room on Sundays. When we try a reverse and it doesn't work everyone gets on Mularky, but when it works the response is always nice run. Mularky calls the play in but if it isn't executed right its not his fault.

As for predictably in the NFL you either run or pass. So you can sit there on your couch and be right 50% of the time. Remember the 90's Cowboys were probably the most predictable offense ever. They had a small playbook and ran the same plays over and over again. The difference was no one could stop them because they executed them perfectly. Jimmy Johnson won 2 SB's with that offense. A well prepared team will know what play you are running and what your weaknesses are. Its all about execution. Always has been, always will be.
