You should do a breakdown of all draft needs for each team, itd be good offseason content Ps: Im glad all yall agree with me! Have a great day sports fans

[@azdarkforce]

Still too early, four teams are still going to play... There will be plenty of time for that after SB :D

[@ryanschlaud]

[@dhendry71]

its never too early for browns fans

[@Dunkaholic18]

he did last year. a mock draft

[@Wu-Dumpin]

yes please do this

[@Remetheus]

I’m a falcons fan and I completely agree with this video .. it’s like sark didn’t even prepare as if he’s trying to win us a championship caliber game, only as if it were a preseason matchup 🤦🏽‍♂️ it’s absurd on how they haven’t fired him

[@polojosh8347]

Griffzz • So this means our last season wasn't a fluke this Oc fucked shit up. Imagine our defence now with our offence last year

[@Ensanity21]

BEST RAPPER ALIVE basically they would be very likely to win the Superbowl, most likely the best offense in the the league(it was 8th best in NFL HISTORY in yards with Shanahan) and also a youthful defense that was 9th best in the league this year(I think)... which would make us I would guess a 14-2 or 15-1 team, all playoff teams in the NFC would move down a spot(Eagles at 2, Vikings 3, Rams 4, Saints 5, Panthers 6), Vikings would win against the Panthers, Saints would win against the Rams, Falcons would beat the Saints in the divisional round and the Vikings would(probably) beat the Eagles. Falcons would beat the Vikings in the NFC championship, and Superbowl would either be a rematch of last year or be Falcons vs Jaguars, I'll let you decide how those matches would go

[@smithnwesson990]

Griffzz • No one is giving credit to the fact the Eagles made adjustments after the Giants game. The Eagles have a great pass rush and have great coaches.

[@jadenneal8675]

I think we should give him another year, we scored more this year than kyle shanahans first year

[@Beastking800]

Griffzz • sigh, ofc he would be unprepared, he has to learn the playbook, learn NFL DEFENSES, learn his own team, you can't just throw a unready guy and say hey score 100 points for us

[@aaronb4420]

I hope they fire that OC. How do you only scheme up 3 TDS for Julio Jones.

[@txmade734]

Aaron Barragan they extended his contract. He runs a college style offense all finesse. Very frustrating to watch. Seemed to me that he doesn't know how to use his weapons and very vanilla offense. Glad my Niners have Shannanhan.

[@WhammyBarXBL]

Falcons have already gone on record to say that he will be back next season.

[@txmade734]

bryce newton the thing about Jones is he is open even when he is covered. There style of offense is similar to Cowboys, don't know how to utilize and scheme their guys opens. Look at what Niners are doing with half the damn talent. It was mind boggling and maybe should go back to college because some of those calls where designed for college defenses where you can get away with. In the NFL everyone is running the same speed and quicker reaction times as well.

[@b2theantelmann]

the thing is that julio never was a td machine (these are his td numbers per season 8, 10, 2, 6, 8, 6, 3) 3 is low even for him, he is great but his gifts always translated more into yards and receptions rather than tds.

[@Cport912]

Aaron Barragan only 3 tds for Julio makes me sick

[@lark4k]

[@dreamsound_]

If the Falcons front office saw this vid, SS might be fired haha...Great breakdown, makes you ask what are they paying some of these coaches for..

[@HakeemRDaud]

too late, they extend him 😬

[@ArchAngelWW3]

They're paying them to throw games at the right moment. You ever wonder why that great high school coach in your state never got a shot? The NFL knows he is a stand up person and would not ever throw a game for any reason because he loves football. You notice the guys coaching these days don't really seem to even enjoy it, much less love it? Read between the lines, folks.

[@xSoulRedemptioNx]

He's gone now, thank God.

[@inappropriatecontent2589]

10:23 left in the fourth quarter and eagles up 38-7 against the Vikings... yeah, Minnesota made the same mistakes

[@felixgarcia3184]

Didn’t even finished reading the title, just clicked

[@aamiru1019]

When we fired him from USC, aside from his alcohol issues, I was happy because he was such a conservative play caller and just terribly mismanaged games!

[@aamiru1019]

Conrad of Montferrat Lol he just rode the coattails of the Pete Carroll era. And you said it best... MEDIOCRE

[@louisxyz1]

That play at 8:22 is Sluggo Seam, the classic west coast play everyone runs. The idea is to pump the sluggo to try and influence the safety towards that side so you can come back to the seam read. You can see Ryan give a token shoulder fake that way. I wouldn't say it's a play design issue; it's a Bill Walsh play. I think Ryan needs to give a better pump fake, look off the safety and deliver the ball quicker. But I could be wrong, maybe Four Verts or similar is the call here. good article on the play that mentions that where Sarkisian learned it: grantland.com/the-triangle/matt-barkley-and-uscs-sluggo-seam-play/

[@BrettKollmann]

Oh I know it's a play that has been around forever, I just don't like how it's designed. I'm a firm believer in occupying both seams in order to occupy the safety if you want to attack the seams. Without occupying both seams you have to basically hope that the safety screws up, but if you occupy both seams you can FORCE him to screw up. That's the difference.

[@louisxyz1]

It's a fairpoint. Maybe not a play suited to them modern breed of free safeties

[@CravonMoorehead]

There still has to be somebody to influence the other seam. But I understand your point. It did also look like Sanu was hesitant to reach out for the ball. He def felt the safety over top and knew a hit was coming. He could've turned inside more at the top of his route tho

[@dluptak423]

Why aren't you a coach?!?!

[@crown_resident]

David Luptak coaching and teaching are 2 different things

[@txmade734]

David Luptak same reason why the Great Greg Cosell isn't. It's easy to watch film and breakdown but however to translate that into leading a team is very different.

[@kermitkuhn8617]

As a long suffering falcon fan, I was flabbergasted at the difference in Sark's calls between the ram's game and the debacle in Philly. After watching this, another in a long line of awesome breakdowns you do(Best there is), I wanted Sark gone. That was then, this is now. Sark has redeemed himself. He has the falcon offense rolling.His gameplan against a stout redskin defense was masterful. Looking back, although Sark deserved blame too, a lot of the falcon's 2017 woes on offense was sloppy execution. Dropped passes, missed blocks, miss reads, etc. Glad Quinn didn't listen to me and the rest of falcon nation ready to lynch Sark.

As a Diehard Falcons Fan this video was the ultimate Microcosm of the 2017 Season. Talent wise this team should have been 12-4 at the least. The Coaching Staff (not the Players) blew the Superbowl and their stubbornness to not get rid of Sark is going to remove all chances of returning and Winning the Superbowl while our Window is open. FML.

This is why we watch. There are other channels that do breakdowns of the plays, but the way you present it and explain your take on it is simply the best. And I agree about Sarkisian. They guy either needs to figure things out quick or he's a liability to the team and those players.

[@phbtorres]

Well, nothing changed. All Sark No Bite II: Kickoff Boogaloo seems to be in order. Now I understand when Brett said " Steve Sarkisian has a remarkable gift to piss me off". The guy did not study enough to beat the team that ended his season and his redzone play calling was as bad as it could be.

[@tommcklveen4913]

[@CERBERUS1O8]

Thank you for saying Steve's last name correctly unlike all the tv commentators! I don't know why it bugs me so much

[@I-LightMedia]

Brett, Is it necessary to point out that Matt Ryan's throw on the rub off (2:27) was late? Had he hit Sanu at the Eagles logo 2:33 mark instead of waiting for him to pass the numbers the WR would have run for days!!!!!

DAM !!! That's the first time i noticed that the ball thrown to Jones at 11:11 got lost in the lights ! It went right threw his hands

[@goCAPS26]

could you possibly do an analysis on the Bears revamped coaching staff? curious of your input on what all they've done. Overall i'm optimistic since we are sort of shifting to this identity of an explosive offense but always cool to hear a third person perspective - be it positive or negative! obviously you get a ton of requests so this is just an extra idea maybe lol

Great content as always, Brett. If you're getting any ideas for off-season videos yet I would love to see an analysis of why the 2017 Raiders' offense regressed so much under OC Todd Downing. Watching this video I couldn't help but draw parallels between the Sarkesan/Falcons and Downing/Raiders.

[@Trinitronmatrix]

Hi Brett, Does the Falcon’s play calling still look bad in 2018 falcons v eagles game 1? Still same bad play calling throughout season to avoid falcon players in fantasy?

[@weirdwiredtv3566]

Great breakdown... love it!!

[@BrofessorHEMann]

That seam looks like a possible read route and the receiver seems to float into the end zone rather than sit down at the five or sit and slide inside the LB underneath....if he did so, it might be a TD or a 1st and goal on the 3-6 yard line....on that level, those seam routes are rarely routes that have the receiver running to get himself covered. If you do not have mesh routes(the rubs you describe) most teams did not try to install that type of stuff so late in the season...Great vid. Always good talking football.

[@AR-ge1oo]

Your videos are sooo good!

[@jungle1776]

Thats why Kyle Shanahan is that good at an offensive coordinator. Love those Shanahan offenses going back to his Kyle's dad Mike one of my favorite coachs.

[@untethered4003]

Good Analysis. Two questions: One, do you think the weather had anything to do with the lack of a quick game? 20-25mph winds that day. I would imagine slants are dangerous if you can't be precise with the throws. Totally agree on the lack of rub routes. Two, do you think they were reluctant to go four wide because of the Eagles pass rush?

[@george474747]

@3:41 - 'where lies the rub?' Missed a wide open Shakespeare joke there...

[@Ohiolegend7]

brett big fan of your channel.. question tho.. something to think about on ur issue with the slug-go seam concept in the read zone... i think the coach was betting on the eagles being over aggressive like they normally but in that situation they stated home and played good defense... they set the bait by putting julio back side and made him the first read with the double move hoping to pull that free safety towards julio to hit sanu in the deep seam but they stated home... i think this is a case of great d instead of bad play call... he probably could have ran more rub concepts.. love the channel

[@jayjohndafalcondawg4918]

As a Falcon fan that hurt to watch Sark should be fired after that performance.

[@Beastking800]

jay jhnson for what, his team's execution? You're a fucking idiot to pin everything on sark, where were you during week 8-15? Oh right, in ya shell because Sark was doing good 😂😂

[@jayjohndafalcondawg4918]

Sark didn’t put us in a good position to win did you not watch the film?

[@brianmoore581]

Hell, Sark wasn't doing good. Never this season could you honestly say the Falcons out coached another team. The Falcons won on pure talent in spite of bad coaching. You don't know football if you can't see that. The defense was much better in the second half of the season. That's why they won the games they won for the most part. The offense never improved, as evidenced by the latest season ending sorry game plan. 10 points by that offense in a playoff game? Come on! Show a little creativity.

[@Beastking800]

Watch the highlight, he was doing good Playcalling yet Ryan kept forcing the ball to the receiver closest to him, that's not.on Sark

[@brianmoore581]

TheBeastAmongUs did you not watch this guy's video? Where do you disagree with it? He got it right. The Falcons were a Superbowl team last year. What changed? The defense got better. The kicker is automatic. The entire offense didn't suddenly suck. The MVP quarterback didn't forget how to play. The thing that changed is the OC. They went from imaginative plays and game plans that actually took the opponent's tendencies into consideration to this basic college shit. Yes, it is mostly the fault of the OC. There were some drops, shure. Matt Ryan had to force some balls because the unimaginative play designs weren't getting receivers open. It was too easy to defend that basic offense. Watch the video again. Receivers that were open last year by design were simply not open this year. The offense was just too basic.

[@Calebmzed]

incredibly high level of talent yet somehow under achieving team? 1st thought; Steelers. Though Falcons are right there...

[@treymiller1902]

Caleb Zedwick you’re one of the few who gets it

[@sunandablanc]

Yep. I'd say off the top of my head Steelers, Falcons, Cowboys--it's the coaching, the poor game planning & play-calling/design. The Steelers especially on defense (gashed by Bortles, enough said), Falcons/Dallas mainly on offense: ZERO adjustments, pure predictability--the talent on the field can't overcome that. Brett nailed this one.

[@zyartist4646]

Caleb Zedwick so true

[@brianmontgomery580]

at least falcons and steelers made playoffs - the cowboys coaching staff is truly awful to ruin a team as talented as they are.

As a Falcons fan I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said...sadly they did the same thing week 1 to start the season. Sark has to go, his inability to create a viable gameplan is inexcusable!!!

[@TBL2749]

As a Falcons fan, I don't want Sark on this team at all if he's going to lead Matt Ryan and this talented offense to its doom. I don't mind Dan Quinn because he's more defensive minded anyway and has helped out our defense a tremendous amount this season compared to last season but my god after seeing this video, if Sark doesn't get into his head that he needs to change his offensive play calls and his game plans up and actually maybe watch some damn good tape, then he needs to just leave the NFL.

[@Sharp_3yE]

Vikings fan here, I feel yea man. Vikings have devastating missed field goals, interceptions, and penalties that have cost them going to the super bowl. BUT THAT WAS AMAZING for me last Sunday.

[@jajksb5]

Love your posts! I’m a lifelong Viking fan and I’m so disappointed in how they didn’t show up in the NFC Championship. It was embarrassing to see their coverage and lack of tackling. But in my opinion here’s the play that changed the game into a blow out. ‪Vikings are only down 14-7 and are inside the red zone on the Eagles 16 with 3:25 left in the first half. It’s 3rd & 5 and we call a play that requires our BACK UP Tight End to run across the formation and pass block the Eagles Right Defensive End with no help. The o line slides right so on the third down in the red zone and on a critical play the Vikings ask their back up tight end block the blind side on third down? Coming from across the formation. Are you kidding me? Shurmur has been so terrific all the season but that scheme and play shouldn’t have been been in anyone’s playbook. Let alone in the nfc championship vs the best pass rush in the nfl. The Result was A missed block and a blind side hit on Case and a fumble. That play opened the flood gates. Not saying it made the difference but it certainly set the tone and changed the course of the game.

[@jajksb5]

Chris Kusnell I agree that was a huge let down play on the defensive side. The game was close and then in that last 3:25 the wheels fell off with those two plays being two of the major turning points. Vikings looked liked a popped balloon after that.

[@billyhill3316]
