Falcons: Interview from last summer with Koetter about offense

[Paprika Neck]

i don't know if we'll be a pass first offense i do imagine however we will see more passing plays on first down.

4 deep vertical passing with the wideouts pulling up around the 15 and the RB chipping off the DE and becoming a checkdown that can be hit in stride facing the defense??

We've NEVER come close to seeing anything like that from Mularkey.

Dare I say it sounds like this could be a full transition to a pass-first offense? Using the passing game to open up the run and utilizing the RB in the passing game on top of that? We're not going to be able to do that with Turner as our #1, so I really think Turner is gone.

Mularkey is a stubborn asshole, I'm really surprised Smith and Blank put up with him as long as they did. The interview I posted tells me Koetter game plans to win, not to set up a running game because you're scared the other defense is too good.

I figured Turner was gone when I read the part of the Q&A where he talked about the RB catching balls out of the backfield as a primary component to the offensive scheme. Snelling and Quizz will be our go-to backs next season, along with probably a later round draft pick to develop.

I hope so. He has the (misleading) stats to have trade value, somebody would take him off of our hands.
