Belichick to the Falcons incoming?

I know there is an around the league coaching search thread.  
But going to put this out here because is only so much we can gurgle ***** and moan about owner, former coach/GM, QB, OL, or anything else I left off.

 

But looking like Bill is going to our division rival.

Falcons (as it’s been pointed out in another thread) also have been denying assistants interview opportunities elsewhere……until yesterday.  Where it was reported they have been told they can interview for employment elsewhere.

Now looks like Bill is back for another interview with them today.

Think the Falcons still have to interview two Rooney Rule candidates in-person before they can hire Belichick, but yeah I think he'll likely end up there. Wouldn't be surprised to see them bring in Leslie Frazier and another currently unemployed "candidate" (like the Raiders did with Kris Richard) so they can move quickly here.

I'm not worried. Belichick hasn't looked anywhere as good without Brady and I highly doubt he finds another QB that good before he retires.

Not so sure that's a complete assessment.  It's much more fair to say Belichick hasn't looked as good without his offensive coordinator.  Mac Jones was a Pro Bowl QB running Josh McDaniels system, and now he looks like a bust.

He's also been the GM up there, and wrecked the roster.  In Atlanta, they have a GM who has done a pretty good job of building a roster.  Effectively, the weaknesses that caused the downturn in Foxboro have been largely accounted for in Atlanta.

I am not excited about having him in our division, with McDaniels and that set of skill players.  If Atlanta winds up with a QB, it's going to suck for us.

Still not worried. As for sucking for us? That's going to happen anyway. The Panthers look to be years away from competing for anything other than last place in the division.

Belichick doesn't worry me as much as Atlanta actually drafting a good QB. That’s the real worry we should have. They have weapons and a decent D and if they upgrade the QB spot, they would be a favorite for the division. TB actually has the most cap space but Atlanta is in good shape (just a bit more than us). NO is the only team that has a crazy amount of cap work to do.

    • Explains a lot of what appears to be going on during Cam's stint on the Special Forces show: during a team activity, Cam purposefully performs an action towards a fellow teammate (also a former NFL player) that could be taken as inappropriate or even dangerous by the Staff if they had seen it was done purposefully. Afterwards, Cam said "that was for all the times your team beat Carolina". Implies that in a team activity, Cam is still thinking about himself during an individual activity, Cam doesn't do the required exercises when not being observed directly by the Staff. Implies that cutting corners or directions given to the team could be ignored for personal benefit (it wasn't - resulted in a team punishment) There's lots of positives of Cam during the show, too. So this definitely shouldn't be considered a knock on him. That stuff looked tough for everyone involved - kudos for all of them for even saying "yes" in the first place, 'cause everyone looked miserable. Except Carey Hart (aka Mr P!nk). He looked like he was having a blast throughout the whole thing But taking specific examples out of context of what those celebs were put through -- one could draw comparisons to SB50 (or even expand into why we lost that final game in Atlanta to miss a "perfect season") to that comment about MVP being more valuable to Cam than the team win would have been
    • I do not think I said there would be 8 OTs taken--but there will be 11 teams picking in the first round that have OT as a prioritized need.  I think there are 3 OTs with solid first round grades and maybe 4 are taken.  My point was supply and demand, in relation to your point that you need a reason to move up in the draft.  There will not be many if any starting-caliber OTs in free agency, and if there is one, he will be $25m or more.  Some of these teams that need an OT have no cap room; they HAVE to find an OT to protect their QB and maximize his efficiency. Daniels, Mahommes, Jackson all need OTs.  My point was--if they want a T, and free agency is not an option due to cap restrictions, they HAVE to find a starting T in the draft.  If the Jets take one at #7, the have to know teams will start calling.  The Bears, for example, at #10 need an OT badly for their QB.  But if I implied that 8 OTs would be taken, it is not what I meant.  8 teams will be pushing to move up, however.
    • My bad. I have been using NFL Draft Buzz to mock and they do not show us with a second rounder.
