Do you believe a solid WR would have made a difference in our record?

I firmly believe that if we would have added a WR like Housh, Owens or Boldin that this team would have been about 2-2 / 3-1.... I think the team has too much talent for the floor to fall out but the glaring deficiency at WR has pretty much crippled the offense and therefore put added pressure on the D

We have one of those, his name is Steve Smith and NO, it has not helped

WR wouldn't fix the OL situation which has been pointed out, and I also don't think it would matter that much as far as the rest of the passing game either. Maybe somewhat but I'm not certain it would be game changing at this point.

?????????????

our WR's have nothing at all to do with r shitty season so far, its the RT posistion since Otah is out.... ask around, that is our biggest problem, what is up with people thinking we need WR help?

Like I said, we've been without Otah before and was fine. Lost depht though. Otah is always going to be an injury risk, get used to it, he's a beast but may be a bust cause of injuries.

    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
