It doesn't matter though the Ravens should murder any of the 3 teams really, it is just the Chiefs have Mahomes, but I think the AFC Championship game might be the real Super Bowl.

Did you guys see the video of Demeco coaching Christian Harris into picking off two passes against the Bengals(?) one a pick six.
Amazing.

I wish there was a world where he could be coach LBs at Bama the last 4 or 5 years.

It's not exactly football related, but Isaiah Drake, Kenyon Drake's little brother is the Atlanta Braves 20th ranked prospect.

quote:

20. Isaiah Drake

How he got to the Braves: 2023 MLB Draft, 5th round

Much like Baumann, the Braves went with tools and upside by selecting Drake with their 5th round selection in last year’s draft. Drake made a name for himself during the MLB Development League, posting a .333/.486/.593 slash line across 11 games. The biggest tool for Drake — which should come as no surprise given the fact he’s the younger brother of the NFL’s running back Kenyan Drake — is his speed. That speed has translated into plus defense for the 18-year-old, giving him multiple advanced tools. The question with Drake is about his bat.

While he shined at the plate prior to the draft, his offensive start to his minor league career wasn’t great, albeit in a small sample size. In 18 games with the FCL club, Drake posted a .591 OPS but did show off his running game by stealing 9 bases. However, while participating in a Braves inter squad game to prepare for the playoffs, Drake smashed a triple off the wall off of Colin McHugh, showing he does have a good bit of pop yet to be unlocked in his bat. It’ll be interesting to see where the Braves elect to start Drake out this season. He could easily start back in the FCL for a brief stint then join Augusta, or the Braves could very well send him straight to the GreenJackets to see if the bat has progressed over the offseason. Either way, Drake has enough potential to rocket up our prospect rankings if the offensive profile comes around.

Harbaugh to the Chargers. Belichick is coming for the Falcons

It does look like they may do thier due deligience and hire elsewhere. Not a huge chance but that is something.

Thank God!

I'm not thrilled with Morris, but that is only because I really don't know anything about him. Anyone have a good scouting report?

Dude he was the Falcons head coach when Quinn was fired in 2020 He was the head coach at Tampa for a few years too. Don't think it went well. But he is a good defensive coach. Still a retread though which is odd by Blank must like him.

I don't think hiring a guy you could have hired 3 years ago but chose not to because he was terrible in his 11 game audition for the job is dodging a bullet.

I was pretty disenchanted with them back then. Pretty much just glanced at the box scores.

After Quinn let the superbowl get away by coming out after half time and going to that ridiculous prevent defense and running the ball to try to use up the clock. I honestly quit on them for several years. If they would have just stuck to their normal offense and defense, they would have won easily. But tons of coaches make the same mistake. We did the same thing against UGA when they drove down the field on us at the end of the game. Got too worried about giving up a big play, that we gave them a quick td.

Arthur Blank can’t make a solid hire to save his life. He has never made a good hire, just can’t do it for some reason. Some teams are just destined to fail and the Falcons are one of those teams.

I agree with you, but that dude’s play calling cost ATL a superbowl. All he had to do was run the ball and he just could not help himself.

Hopefully this works out, Canales has turned every qb he's been around...well around. Wilson at Seattle, then Smith at Seattle, then Mayfield in Tampa. If this doesn't work out I'm gonna wonder if Tepper may be too involved aka like Jones in Dallas.
