And the Falcons Keep On Crumbling...

Looks like Shanahan has begun gutting the Falcons of their talent. Continuity is being thrown right out the window...

More shakeup on #Falcons staff. RB coach Bobby Turner leaving to take same position with 49ers.

Their runningback coach got Freeman and Coleman to post insane numbers, and he's now leaving to the 49ers.

Oh, did you know the Failcons blew a 25 point lead as well?

I'm gonna do something dumb here and be fair...

Turner coached RB's at Denver with Shanahan's father, Mike, from 1995-2008.  Then he coached RB's at Washington with Kyle from 2010-2013.

So this ain't a rats-deserting-a-sinking-ship thing, this is a long-time family/friend relationship thing.

But, with that being said, fug the Failcan'ts.  :P

And people swear up and down on here, you can't take a position that's the same on another team. Oh yeah, you can.

What people say is that a team can block you from making a lateral move if you are under contract.  It isn't you can't do it simply that it has be OK with the team you are leaving or your contract has to be up.

Maybe after a bad loss like that, it's what you have to do.  Maybe if we would have cut a lot of coaches and change the culture a little we may not have had such a bad season.  

 

Or we could have been Cleveland and gone 1-15. Coulda shoulda woulda game cuts both ways.

or maybe we kept a core in place that won the division 3 years in a row, and went to the Superbowl; rather than over-reacted, and blew up a perfectly good staff staff and young, growing team.

That's what's hilarious about this.

If you want continuity of success, you keep everyone rather than blow it up. Getting a new DC, OC, and such will change up an offense and defense.

Their OC supposedly will keep the WC system Shanahan placed. Thing is, I think teams are about to figure it out this offseason. Patriots showed a bit by protecting the edges and trying to force them down the middle even with their average talent.

If the OC can't adapt and figure out new things to use in the NFL, there will be a regression by Matt Ryan indefinitely.

Now, a new DC after the unit began looking solid? Might change things up a bit, though I'll hold my breath until I see who they hire.

Perception.

You see someone following a friend. I see a friend helping another out of a sinking ship.
