Falcon players glad they aren't getting screamed at by BVG anymore

Most important, the team’s defensive backs have taken to the quieter Nolan after having their ears singed for too many weeks by VanGorder, the screaming sort.

To quote safety Thomas DeCoud, who accounted for one of Manning’s interceptions, said: “It just got to the point where we had to pick and choose what to listen to and what not to. You learned to take some things with a grain of salt. Brian was a passionate coach. He wanted his guys to be out there playing tough, strong and perfect football. You can’t fault a man for that. But it was just one of those things where you had to learn how to take your coach for who he was.”
quote:
William Moore, who had an interception and a sack of Manning last week, echoed those sentiments, adding: “I was one of the guys he yelled at the most. He also pulled me to the side and would explain things, but he didn’t show that side of him on the field. That’s not a knock on VanGorder. It just the way he coaches.

I wonder if he knows about that gif.Posted on 9/21/12 at 10:07 pm to AUtigerNOLA
As a Falcon fan, I'll be the first to say BVG left a lot to be desired as an NFL DC. But that's not an indictment of his skills as a college DC. Those results speak for themself. Spurrier was shite in the NFL too.

Falcons had the #6 run D in the NFL last year with a pretty no name DL, other than maybe Abraham. LB's got much better under him - specifically Weatherspoon and Lofton. Atlanta really hasn't had much to work with at the DB position in the last 5 or so years. Grimes was a pleasant surprise last year, but he really didn't have too much to work with at that position.
