Superior game plan by Ron & Co. led to ATL win

First, this tweet,

 

 

Knox Bardeen @knoxbardeen Follow

Biggest takeaway from #Falcons locker room: #Panthers came out w/ different looks than were on film. Atlanta didn't adjust quickly enough.

 

 

Then this from Roddy White;

 

 

But White also said some things that pointed directly to coaching as the reason for yesterday's loss, and he didn't say it to shift blame or throw the coaching staff under the bus. White said this in an attempt to explain what went so terribly wrong offensively against the Panthers. "They mixed up a bunch of different coverages and didn't play a whole lot of man coverages, just dropped back," White said. "They dropped eight, dropped seven, and they rallied to the ball. They did a good job of that and kind of confused us early on in the game, and they did some coverages that we weren't prepared for. And we made some adjustments at halftime, but they did a good job, man."

What?  An opponent says that we gameplanned well, changed things up and made great adjustments?  And showed a bunch of creative looks on offense and defense?

 

Exactly the opposite of all the bitching and whining on the huddle for the past few months. What has changed?  Has Shula and Rivera suddenly changed 180 degress or is it possible that it took this long to get everyone healthy, plug in the speed we needed and the team has gelled into a cohesive unit.  Maybe there was nothing wrong with Shula and Rivera to begin with they just didn't have the right players in the right places to run their schemes due to all the issues we have had on this team.

 

Classy of White to admit they got outcoached and outplayed.

That was my biggest take from this. We as fans sometimes get too passionate and let our emotions cloud our observations.

Are we sure it wasn't tha ginga?

I'd say he's part of it.

But go back to Rivera's DC days. Nobody was better at stopping elite QBs (he all but owned Peyton). Knowing how to attack opposing QBs and offenses is Rivera's biggest strength.

It's in other areas that he's lacking.

Oh I know rivera is probably one of the best if not the best defensive minds. But I look back at his comments that he leaves the coordinators to do their jobs. No doubt he was in meetings and gave suggestions though.

Also, the offense scored their first two possessions, allowing the defense to pin their ears back and really go after Ryan, and INT's.

 

Take not Rivera/Shula! Offense and scoring, can help your defense (or team in general)!! Embrace it! Don't be afraid of it!

THIS.

If you have a good pass rush, this plays right into your strengths.

Obviously you have to let your coordinators do their jobs, but as a head coach, you have to put your own stamp on your team.

 

Look at the top head coaches in the league right now, that's what they are doing.

    • I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!
    • Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce. 
    • Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
