Little thing I noticed...

Arthur Blank treats his players really well. In the tunnel after the game on the way to the visiting team bus he had people there with hot meals for his players. I think it was some kind of BBQ, smelled good as hell.

Anyways, never have seen a team do that before. Little things like that really go a long way in building a team atmosphere me thinks...

That costs money. Not interested.

It took Blank a couple of mistakes to learn the football business. He had the Vick/wheelchair thing, Petrino, and was a little too "Jerry Jones" in the beginning. He learned pretty quick though, by removing McKay as GM and finding Dimitroff, hiring Mike Smith, and then getting out of the way. He genuinely cares about his team and that was a welcome change from the Rakin Smith era.

Anyone that knows me personally, knows that I despise the Falcons with unrelenting hate for a while now. However, I have to admit that I have been severly impressed with Mr. Blank's approach to turning this organization around.

A telling story happened at the outset of his ownership. He asked the players what was most important to them to making this a world-class team. Their response? "Get people in the stands!" So he slashed ticket prices to ridiculous costs (starting @ $10) and filled that stadium as promised.

To me, that speaks volumes about his priorities in the NFL ownership circle.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
