Hell yes! 😆 my gut feeling tho, Blank is gonna keep Jimmy Lake on board because of that guy who thinks he’s the “Smartest guy in the room” Raheem Morris 😂🥴🥴
I like Robert Saleh for two reasons. One, because he's a great defensive coordinator. And two, because he just got fired, if he has a great year or multiple great years with us, we don't have to worry about him getting another job again because it takes a long time for a coach to get a second chance. Especially a defensive coach
Facts Raheem is not a good Head Coach!! Those players has no discipline don't matter who u get if they don't get in those guys face and make them do there job or sit them down

Robert Saleh is my choice and it's not even close. Saleh know how to fix defenses I believe during his time in NY he's had a top 5 defense so he would know how to fix this defense like completely turn it around.
Saying Jimmy Lake was dealt a bad hand is not fair. He was hired BEFORE the draft. He should have had some input in the "collaborative effort" that took place in selecting those players drafted. So he may not have pulled the trigger, but he helped call the shot.
Jimmy Lake and Morris are to blame for trying to make a square peg fit in a round circle by embracing a 3-4 defense as a base defense when we clearly didn't have the personnel for 3-4. Onyemata and Jarrett are 4-3 Under Tackles, not DEs or NTs! Why try to make a shift base 3-4 when your two best defensive linemen are UTs? We should have been in base 4-3. I agree that Ellis, Landman, Anderson, and Bertrand are all talented ILBs, but you didn't have a NT other than Goldman that fits the role of NT. Then there's the OLB group. Judon is an effective player as is Ebikatie and they could be effective OLBs IF there were two 3-4 DEs able to collpase the pocket and give rushing lanes for the two to pass rush. Carter is a great run stuffer, but his days of pass rushing are behind him. No other OLBs on the roster are real 3-4 OLBs. So, if you want to fix the defense, it has to start with a switch to 4-3 or get two massive DEs and play 3-4. If you switch to 4-3, Judon is more than capable of playing RE as is Ebikatie and Ohrohoro. Ellis can be move to WLB and Anderson is capable of playing SLB. Bertrand and Landman have the range and speed to play MLB. Switching to 4-3 would really only require getting an effective NT as Jarrett could rotate at UT with Onyemata. Harrison and Dorlus could move to LE, which is a position for which both are better suited. Then you can focus your draft or free agency assets on getting two NTs. Or if you are just sold on playing 3-4, you better spend a good portion of free agency dollars and/or draft picks on a couple of OLBs, two NTs, and two DEs.
Honestly I enjoyed Zac Robinson overall. He had moments where we scratched our heads, but thought he did well. Jimmy Lake on the other hand, man can see himself out. We had enough on defense to not be bottom tier defense.
Why no mention of Ryan Nielsen again, if he wants to come back? He was let go with the Doug Peterson Firing. He got the most of out Onyamata, Jarrett, Ellis, and espically Bates.
Saleh is a bad HC but has proven he can do a good job as a coordinator. I've heard a lot of disturbing things about his character that worries me about him though.
Don't focus on season totals. Look at whether there was improvement. There was, but only after it was reported that Morris got more involved. Head Coaches should be able to rely on coordinators, so yes a change is needed. Personnel is not the excuse.
I feel like our head coach is on the HOT seat. He will keep is job for next season, but he is on a very short clock after next season starts. We need a kicker! We need the defense to hold teams to less than 28 points. Our offense is good now. Mr. Blank is a great owner and deserves better from his head coach. Coach Morris better tighten up big time! He ha 6 games to show big improvement!
When guys won’t tackle it’s not because they don’t know how. It’s because they aren’t held accountable. Same problem we had with DQ. Nothing will change
Need new DC and OC! We need a OC that knows we have more than Robinson and London on offense. We had a very simple scheme all season and no adjustments
Seems like replacing D coordinator is giving Morris cover. Morris is a defensive guy that made A LOT of of mistakes with clock management etc. Why is he not being scrutinized over the DC?
Okay look this like his third time being a young head coach ppl make mistakes and every thing but he brought light to our franchise and now ppl are giving up on him after one season and the last 3 we had author smith but yall give up on someone that don’t have a lot of experience at hc but is actually really good at it there’s mistakes that’s just need clean up not a be A coach we goin be in purgatory for a long ass time if we don’t give ppl time to get into our franchise
Yes the falcons truly need a revamp that can concrete the formula that can make some noise the right way some of the players play too soft like they're there just for show and a job thats it theres no excitement really here

Only problem with firing him is our rookie QB. He only played 3 games but they’ve communicated since he’s been drafted. Let’s look at Matt Ryan, reason he was never consistent was cuz he always had a new coaching staff.
The big move the falcons absolutely have to make is not too cut Kirk cousins , they absolutely need to keep him on as the backup , why he will get tired of playing backup and then Waive That No Trade Clause , there is no way you just cut him he is under contract for 3 years , make him give in and waive the no trade clause which I feel he will, then you can find a trade partner , get a possible payer, reduce the cap hit also a possible draft pick in oppose to getting nothing, this guy along with Koo costed you the playoff’s , a draft pick(tampering)blunder, plus tons of money,if we cut him we will be paying another team san salary.
Oh Lord I pray this is true, changes are needed, competence is needed, Defensive Coordinator in over his head Yes he needs to GO!! dragged out with Raheem and Rich
I'd say we definitely need to keep bates, we can let simmons go, he really wasn't as impactful as he should have been, but Ellis showed up this season! He needs to start next year as well
Should the Falcons change their defensive coordinator? Type ‘Y’ for Yes | ‘N’ for No

Yes
We absolutely need Robert Saleh….please get him
Facts
i agree
Hell yes! 😆 my gut feeling tho, Blank is gonna keep Jimmy Lake on board because of that guy who thinks he’s the “Smartest guy in the room” Raheem Morris 😂🥴🥴
I AGREE
@@CyCamronAnderson hehehehehe
SALEH.... thank you for all the content this year.. hopefully next year.. we will improve!clns sunny San diego
Robert Saleh is the guy we need him
at 20-36?

if Raheem stays on as head coach, then none of the other coaches matter
This is just not true. He’d has no responsibility on play calling
Why does the defensive HC not have any responsibility for defensive playcalling when your defense floundered all year?
@@tdawgmd7128 that’s the DCs job. Should they have fired jimmy? Yes but that’s not on rah. We need a new dc. Rah and Zach should stay

I want Dennis Allen, he’s not a good HC but he’s an amazingly talented DC. Get DA! The fire he would have every time we played the Saints.
Yesssss

You can't win with defense like that been bad for years
@@darrellappling9276the frustrating thing is last year they actually were pretty decent but this year it was just awful
@dsz2448 Thanks to Kirk.... do yall not remember How good our defense was after the bye and right before The bye?
Morris sounds like a politician.
More like a used car salesman.
Yep a lot of talk but saying nothing
Honestly I enjoyed Zac Robinson overall. He had moments where we scratched our heads, but thought he did well.
Jimmy Lake on the other hand, man can see himself out. We had enough on defense to not be bottom tier defense.
Robert Saleh or try to get Ryan Nielsen back
@@teriyakisauce6946loved Ryan here but Jags were 31st in the total defense. Was doing that with talent on it. Not getting a DC job
YESSS... And SALEH is the man. Hands down
at 20-36? idk bout all that
Add Jeff ulbrich to this list as well. He and Raheem call the defense pretty well under DQ.
Did they? I remember the defense always losing leads that year and that's why DQ was fired.
@JoeDirt12500 true but they had good moments
Why no mention of Ryan Nielsen again, if he wants to come back? He was let go with the Doug Peterson Firing. He got the most of out Onyamata, Jarrett, Ellis, and espically Bates.
I was hoping Morris and Lake would have been fired Monday morning. I guess instead they are willing to write off another year.
Ryan Neilsen as defensive line coach.
Robert Saleh’s defenses (points allowed):
2024: 20th
2023: 12th
2022: 4th
2021: 32nd
2020: 17th
2019: 8th
2018: 28th
2017: 25th
Saleh is a bad HC but has proven he can do a good job as a coordinator. I've heard a lot of disturbing things about his character that worries me about him though.
i like salah as the DC
Yes definitely find another defensive coordinator.
I know more about Selah and Mayo, but I trust your judgement Petey! 😅
Yes for sure
I like Roberts Salot then Mayo
Let’s get Ryan Nielsen the defense was improving with him
It was that he ran 4 3 defense
Get a time management coach too while they’re at it! Defense was horrific the last two games but not calling that timeout was equally as bad!
Don't focus on season totals. Look at whether there was improvement. There was, but only after it was reported that Morris got more involved. Head Coaches should be able to rely on coordinators, so yes a change is needed. Personnel is not the excuse.
What happened to the only DC we ever had, he went to Miami if i remember. He did wonders with very little to work with.
Saleh for sure
Saleh 🎉🎉
Yes!!! Robert Saleh!!!
Yes yes and yes again!!
Salah would be first choice I also like the idea of Mayo if we cant get Salah
Most Definitely!!!
I feel like our head coach is on the HOT seat. He will keep is job for next season, but he is on a very short clock after next season starts. We need a kicker! We need the defense to hold teams to less than 28 points. Our offense is good now. Mr. Blank is a great owner and deserves better from his head coach. Coach Morris better tighten up big time!

Hell yes!
Its been rumored that if Saleh cant land a HC job then he has an offer from the 49ers to be their DC again. He will most likely go back to the 49ers.
Go get Saleh...you'd instantly have a HC promotion candidate if Raheem shits the bed again
Robert Salah or Antonio Pierce.
Steve Wilks gets my vote for DC. He should have been HC, IMO
Steve wilks should still be HC in Carolina but their owner is dumb as a bag of rocks
@dsz2448 Agreed
how much confidence would anyone have going into next season with jimmy lake as your DC
Saleh!!!!!!!!
Hell Yes 🎉🎉
Need new DC and OC! We need a OC that knows we have more than Robinson and London on offense. We had a very simple scheme all season and no adjustments
Which candidate do you want to replace Jimmy Lake?
Try to bring back Ryan Nielsen 🤷🏾♂️💯
Stevie wonder!!😮😮
@@johnm2617 I know right, telling da truth here
Saleh, Wilks or Jeff Ulbrich
Yes we want a change at DC and only DC
We don’t need a pass rusher. We defensive ends that can get pressure.
Absolutely,yes
Do you think a better DC the defense would be better?
They all should go. No reason with this team should they be worse than last season or even close to the same. They hired some lame coaches

Seems like replacing D coordinator is giving Morris cover. Morris is a defensive guy that made A LOT of of mistakes with clock management etc. Why is he not being scrutinized over the DC?
yes!!!!!
Yes!
I’d like to see either Dennis Allen, Saleh OR it would be support cool to poach Nelson back. But definitely DA or Saleh.
Okay look this like his third time being a young head coach ppl make mistakes and every thing but he brought light to our franchise and now ppl are giving up on him after one season and the last 3 we had author smith but yall give up on someone that don’t have a lot of experience at hc but is actually really good at it there’s mistakes that’s just need clean up not a be
A coach we goin be in purgatory for a long ass time if we don’t give ppl time to get into our franchise
Get me bob Saleh
How in the hell do you say we need to get a defensive coordinator who just got fired for the exact same reason as the one you're trying to fire?
Antonio Pierce for DC and Robert Saleh for OC
Go Get Robert saleh
Yes the falcons truly need a revamp that can concrete the formula that can make some noise the right way some of the players play too soft like they're there just for show and a job thats it theres no excitement really here
Yes I a charge in the Atlanta Falcons dc
Keep everyone get another DE to help Grady, and a good Offensive tackle that’s all I think we need.
Yes!!!
Antonio pierce or saleh
Lou Anarumo’s defenses (points allowed):
2024: 25th
2023: 21st
2022: 6th

Why cant morris call his own defense he has proven nothing to be a figure head on the sideline.

None of these sound better than keeping lake and getting defensive talent that fit his scheme
Gimme Steve Wilks or Robert
Oh Lord I pray this is true, changes are needed, competence is needed, Defensive Coordinator in over his head Yes he needs to GO!! dragged out with Raheem and Rich
Yess I don't wanna judon drop in coverage ever again
EVERYONE KNOWS LAKE HAS TO GO NO WAY AROUND IT
I'd say we definitely need to keep bates, we can let simmons go, he really wasn't as impactful as he should have been, but Ellis showed up this season! He needs to start next year as well
Cincinnati defense coordinator had one good year
Get Lou Anarumo!
The patriots told Mayo “I’ll show you winning a game!!” 🤣
I don't really care about the DC to be honest. I just want to actually have some talent on the defense.
Absolutely, lake has togo, I'm not even sure Morris should not go with him, this is his third chance as HC , same results.
Bring back the stash!
Always great content! Rise up!
Fire the head coach, fire the coordinators.. Clean house.
YES, need new DC
Fire the man!!!
Lou Anarumo - No.
Robert Saleh!
Jimmy Lake replacements:
Lou Anarumo
Robert Saleh
Jerod Mayo
Idea: move Pitts to WR instead. He can't block! He's that big body we need beside London and Mooney.
You obviously didn’t see Kaden Ellis balling out smh
Bro any body is an upgrade to jimmy lake🤣🤣
We need Dennis Allen
That whole coaching and management staff should be fired! If Morris and Fortnite stay you will only have the same problems. 🤢
Give Kirby Smart 18 Million a year and lets go win a SB…. Im a Bama fan BTW
