Atlanta Falcons & Georgia Bulldogs are one in the same
By Deen Worley
For starters, get Matt Ryan an offensive coach. We are doing the greatest quarterback in Atlanta Falcon’s history a great disservice by plaguing him with defensive guys.
We will never win any title unless we can get someone who caters to our offense.
Matt Ryan may have five to seven solid years left. The Atlanta Falcons shouldn’t waste those years with his third defensive head coach.
The Atlanta Falcons are very likely to bid farewell to Dan Quinn at seasons end. This will probably make the Atlanta Falcons one of the hottest vacancies in the league. There is no offensive guy who wouldn’t want to work with the league’s best offensive talents.
Even if Dan Quinn is allowed one more season, this will also open up the possibility of Sean McVay coming back home to Atlanta. As the disappointing Rams season continues, his seat in Los Angeles is sure to be hot going forward.
What would Kellen Moore, Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator, need to show to prove he too can be a solid NFL head coach at such a young age?
The Atlanta Falcons also have to address the upcoming cap space battle. Over the next two offseason, we will see both sides of the ball seeming depleted due to big contracts to Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Deion Jones, and Grady Jarrett.
Hopefully, the Atlanta Falcons make enough moves in the offseason to be able to resign Austin Hooper. That will be a major setback to have him walk for free.
Unlike with the Atlanta Falcons, a defensive guy works with Georgia. Georgia has a proven strong defense that doesn’t rebuild, but reload.
However, Kirby Smart has to answer to hiring James Coley, who has been an absolute failure. Georgia has a solid foundation, the biggest offensive line in Georgia Bulldogs history, but that line is useless if you’re using toss sweeps and checking down to the running back every other play.
Look no further than to LSU. Years of chasing Alabama has brought them to abandon their ground and pound tradition and become a more pass-heavy offense. This has resulted in being the number one team and dust past every opponent they play.
All the while, Georgia is struggling to get past lowly SEC East opponents.
The offense needs to be more effective around the perimeter. The top two layers with total yards are running backs. That is insufficient to win.
Young freshman receivers, George Pickens and Dominick Blaylock, have both shown they possess the abilities to be the foundation of the offensive attack going forward.
Not only does Georgia need to try hard to recruit a new offensive coordinator, but they’re also stuck in a position to be in dire need of a new quarterback due to a decision made two years ago.
A Lot of Georgia fans will continue the debate of who is better: Fromm or Fields. However, they’re comparing the wrong guys because Fields would not be the same player he is at Ohio State if he stayed at Georgia.
Fans should be asking why was Eason let go. Eason is head and shoulders a better quarterback than Jake Fromm ever will be. This decision to continue with Fromm over Eason will scar Georgia with years to come.
Keeping Eason would’ve allowed Fromm to redshirt a year and present Georgia with options going forward.
Now, with the possibility that Fromm could leave Georgia at the end of the season, there is no replacement ready to take over the starting role. Georgia could be stuck in a position to start a true freshman, or worse, Stetson Bennett IV.
This means that you can possibly expect more vanilla offense going forward.
