Why Matt Ryan and Mularky are more the problem then oline!

[The Falcon Jedi]

Our scheme sucks.

[Irishfalconfan#35]

From a disscussion point of view, I dont see how you can blaame the scheme and then seperately blame Ryan. If he exceuted the scheme poorly I'd understand.

To say that the scheme is very limiting and limits Ryan and what he can do, as well as the rest of the O, is an arguement that has alot more merit. And one I could probably agree with.

I do agree that the line is by far not the biggest problem on that side of the ball. Biggest problem with the line is keeping them all, that the unit has been together for so long is a major plus for them and one of the big reasons they has success.

Biggest problem with this team may be that they are unwilling to do other things or do things differently, to stray from the strict idea that things can and will be only done a certain way. And that can be seen in schemes etc that everyone is always on about.

I blame the playoff loss 100% on Swift. As long as Swift is a member of these boards and pretends to be a Falcons fan, we will never win a playoff game.

That would be a fair stance and would make sense but that also shows teams can be blitzing more and going on the attack cause they also dont fear that we can stretch a defense

23 sacks
64 QB hits is not a bad amount

Factor in we attempted 571 passes

Plus we have a balance offense in rushing attempts

Be careful when you evaluate an offense on stats alone. The above poster makes a valid point. Here are some possible explanations:

1. Ryan gets sacked less often because he gets the ball out of his hands more quickly. The lower yardage totals are a reflection of the quick, short routes that we favor.

2. Ryan gets less time before pressure arrives. Last year, someone did a nice comparison between Ryan's pass protection vs. Brees and Brady. It turned out that Ryan was protected one second less than the other two. Most of the pressure came from the interior pass rush.
I don't know if the same holds true for this year, but it is a very good and plausible explanation for our offense's troubles hitting on big gains. Mularkey is not less intelligent than any one posting on these boards. He understands the limits of his personnel and has designed an offense that protects our QB and moves the ball methodically down the field.
Improve Ryan's pass protection and you open the play book. It is that simple. We could have Wallace, Ochocinco, Fitzgerald, White and Holmes on the roster and still not hit on many more deep plays.

Believe it or not, TD has been working on the OL. Players are being developed and we may still add another OL via this draft. Our offensive numbers will improve. I am not worried about that. I am more concerned about the defense.

QB Sacks allowed -43 QB Hits allowed 78-


PITT QBS -479 PASS ATTEMPTS

Pitt allowed sack one every 11 pass attempts

QB hit allowed one every 6 pass attempts

They also passed for more yardage with less pass attempts
-------------------------------------------------

NY Jets - 525 pass attempts

QB sacks allowed 28 QB hits allowed 52


NYJ allowed sack one every 18 pass attempts

NYJ QB hits allowed one every 10 pass attempts




Those 2 are considered one of the better olines in league

Anyone who thinks the Steelers have one of the better pass blocking lines in the league hasn't been watching football for the past three years.

Well it's kind of hard to evaluate them since they have to pass block for 15 seconds on every pass play.

and there oline has been decimated with injuries this year

there efficiency only dropped a lil since Faneca left but still one of better olines in league

This is when I knew that your post wasn't going to go be typical swift caliber.
