Absolutely. This dude's points, analysis and simply his voice is on point.

[@Jacob-sb3su]

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]

A Z he said good off-season content. Didn't say to do it now

[@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]

Your Flim Breakdown is Amazing thank you.

[@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.

[@astroknott5263]

Amazing breakdown. You hit the nail on the head. I had to put up with watching Sark drive my team into the ground all season. Unless he pulls a rabbit out of his ass next season, it’s gonna 100% of the same.

[@Dmoney1980]

[@Mike_M.]

Damn, he broke my poor Falcons all the way DOWN. Can't even get mad. :-(

[@Powaup]

Right?! smh, someone get this video to the players

[@chillw7]

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.

[@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.

[@seantron743]

Thank you so much for making these videos. you've given me a whole new appreciation for my favorite sport and I think you've managed to teach me to see the game on levels I never even knew I could.

Love your work Brett keep it up.

[@theArchive1O]

aye cuzzo, thanks for giving us quality content. cheers :)

[@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

[@DarkJonas33]

As someone who never played football growing up and is trying to transition from a casual fan to someone who can really get into the X's and O's of offense and defense, your videos have helped immensely. Thank you for your continued hard work. I look forward to every one of these videos.

[@TheLordNugget]

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.

[@makeshiftvtunez]

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.

[@reclinedpartygaming3774]

I wish actual TV on football was this smart. Most football TV is just meaningless hot takes or opinion pieces, or bullshit about quarterbacks. This feels like an educational video and i love it.

[@sciionzdc5120]

I subbed nice vid

[@AMan-dj2qo]

I loved this video

[@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.

[@dizzydank6]

thank you for this. what falcons fans have been saying all year

[@KirbyOnCronic]

God I love this channel.

[@kylebindi9595]

Best videos out here

[@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

[@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.

[@MrRuttley]

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!!!

[@FlabbyPigLegs]

Wow that’s crazy!

[@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

[@TShaw5161]

I'd like you to do this sort of analysis on the Browns offense as a whole

[@TerminalChillness]

So many people don’t understand how important good coaching is.
