FRACAS AT FLOWERY BRANCH

 

We're hearing that there was a huge blowup in Falcon-land after Sunday's loss to the Giants, and that the problems spilled over into Monday.

 

The issue arose shortly after the 27-14 loss to the Giants, when defensive coordinator Ed Donatell got in offensive coordinator Greg Knapp's face regarding the inability of the offense to sustain drives, which resulted in the defense being on the field for too long.

 

Word is that Donatell blamed several injuries sustained by his troops on the poor play of the offense, because the defensive players were exhausted late in the game.

 

We're also told that, on Monday, owner Arthur Blank summoned Donatell and Knapp to his office, and that Blank wouldn't allow head coach Jim Mora inside the room until Blank had a chance to talk with them. After the four men met, Knapp was angry -- and word is that Knapp is openly blaming the performance of the offense on the limited passing skills of quarterback Michael Vick.

 

Stay tuned, folks. This one could get very ugly, and the Falcons have a big decision to make, especially since backup Matt Schaub will be eligible for restricted free agency after the season.

you've been dying to post this, havent you

OMG MICHAEL VICK IS A BAD QB

Not posted as anything to do with Vick, hell Ill edit and take that part out.

 

The breakdown in the coaching staff is why I posted this.

Maybe they should give Vick some real receivers. Made no sense not to go after T.O. He fits the West Coast they ran before perfectly, lives in Atlanta and wanted to be a Falcon or Bronco. Instead they go trade for a bust in Ashley Lelie.

I dont think TO would of helped Vick. He is just a bad passer.

well he doesn't have very many guys to work with right now a lot of potential guys but no true stud.

Or he is just a bad passer. I dont get why people defend Vick and his passing, as it is inexcusable for someone has bad as he is as a passer to be praised so much.
