Arthur blank just put on his serious face.


Recommended Posts

Nope. Care to sum it up?

AB is pissed. Clearly frustrated with our teams lack of success in the playoffs. Arthur just kinda took over the press conference while TD and Smitty looked rather scared of the Godfather. Everyone seemed sincerely disappointed we failed.

Example a: Mike Smith brings up that we were 6th in sacks allowed

Arthur Blank says i watched the game and it's only that pretty cause Matt is dumping the ball off or getting rid of it in a hurry. The OL sucks. (slight paraphrase)

EDIT: It's on the falcons homepage. hour long though.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

He should be pissed, TD and MS have gone and gotten these shiney new toys but failed to address the most fundamental aspect of the team: line play. I'm really surprised about that because of Smith's background.

They've also almost doomed Turner by running him so much, but then they wonder why he's less effective down the stretch. 300 carries is why,number two RB had something 56 carries. They almost seem to have an identity crisis on offense.

They have most of the pieces they need, but can't figure out how to use them.

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
