Can someone explain how Jimmy Williams becomes a better NFL CB by standing on the sidelines and watching Webster repeatedly blow coverages and get torched? Mora is showing Cox-ian style loyalty to one of “his guys” despite the fact J-Web is statistically one of the worst CBs in the NFL. Webster’s avg. yds/attempt and completion % vs are bottom of the league! How does J-Will get better watching a washed-up and incompetent Webster play?

It’s hard to believe that JWilliams isn’t a better option than Webster who is getting beat consistently. And Lehr should be in the cheese line with the way Clabo’s filled in.

Other than that, everything else appears to be in good enough shape for a serious run. Maybe Abe’s return will negate Webster/Williams’ play.

Omare Lowe struggled in TRAINING CAMP? Webster is struggling big time in the REGULAR SEASON!! So if the coaches are hesitant to use Lowe because he struggled in training camp, they should be scared out of their minds to continue to use Webster. I’m sorry, the logic escapes me. Sounds like just another excuse. I said last week on these blogs that perhaps Webster is the best option at corner until Williams is ready. But after watching Webster get roasted time and time again in Cincy, I must recant. Webster’s inefficiencies are starting to cause some dissention among the secondary, which was evident after he gave up the long and quick touchdown pass. If his teammates lose confidence in him, he sould not be on the field. If the Falcons are not satisfied with the corners they currently have, then perhaps McKay should work his magic and come up with someone who can at least hold their own on the field. As for Clabo and Alexander, it is really nice to see a true NFL caliber pocket form each time rhat Mike drops back to pass. What a difference a couple of extra seconds make in pass protection.

I noticed also that it looks like Knapp and Co. have been letting Michael be Michael.As a result,he looks a lot like he did his first two seasons in the NFL. But he is able to find the open receiver more and is not running as much. For those who agonize over Michael and his running,I seem to remember a rather successful QB from the University of Ga. who had a lengthy career in the NFL. Does the name Fran Tarkenton ring a bell?

It’s really sad to hear that J.Williams isn’t ready to step in at corner yet. The way I see it how could he be worse than Webster? I’m wondering if this just propagada by the Coaching staff and Mora to keep his boy Webster around. I know pre-season is much different than regular season but at least J.Williams made plays on the ball while it was in flight. Webster never does.

As far as Alexander and Clabo keep up the good work. Continue to prove the fans right who have said all along that those other guys were not very good. Go Falcons!!

Real bright Phalcon Doofus. Lets put MV7 at corner and let Shaub get killed at QB and absolutely ruin our offense. Stay off the blogs if you are nothing more than a moron behind a pc who knows nothing about sports.

Regarding our offensive line, make Lehr earn a spot back since he cheated to begin with. Its not like he was injured and lost his job, he willingly and stupidly knew he was going to get tested and still cheated. The offense is fine without him.

Too bad all we have is JWeb at the corner because he doesn’t just suck, he BLOWS. Mora should know better as a coach and have an alternative but for some reason we are stuck. Every team will expose JWeb even more as each week goes by and it will eventually lose a game for us. No way Jimmy Williams can be any worse, no way

Well, based on what Steve has written about the Guard situation, it seems the staff isn’t completely mad.

I still believe they are repeating the same mistake with JWeb as they did with Lehr. That is, going by the theme that, “the bumbler we know is better than the player we don’t know so let’s not change anything.”

Putting JWeb out there Sunday is certainly doing the opponents a huge favor. We at least don’t know whether JWill or Lowe will make a play on a 3rd down. But statistical evidence shows that Webster most definitely has not and will not.

Maybe we can find someone on another team’s practice squad hat is better than Webster. Hard to believe his play would let him make a lot of rosters around the league.

This Jimmy Williams thing has really p** me off. I am in agreement even if he is not ready at least he will begin to get ready. I know they are trying to win NOW and are scared to pull the trigger after what happened last year because they NOW want veteran leadership. Well, Webster looks like a rookie so what is the difference. Steve, what in H… is going on up there? Everybody in the country sees #27 needs to be BENCHED. He must have something on the coaching staff (especially Mora since that is his boy) $7 million signing bonus for this. Give me a break. Matt Lehr need not apply for his starting job because it is apparent when he left the flood gate was plugged.

By Doc Reem

November 1, 2006 05:06 PM | Link to this

Glorydays I’ll tell you why. It’s because Coach Mora passifies some players and J.Webster is one of those players. Sometimes when you have guy that you feel is competent and he plays in the system but is not exceptional on one hand, and have a guy that has ability but he takes more chances and is young on the other hand. You tend to go with the first one cause you think you know what you’re going to get every week. The problem is we’re getting burnt every week. That’s what we’re getting!

It’s just like the Lehr situation. The coaches would never have made a change there either, but they we’re forced to!! Fans have called for years. Lo and behold we put in Alexander and Clabo in and Mike Vick actually gets to see what a pocket looks like from somewhere else other than his back…

Why in the world would you put Lehr back in when the blocking’s clearly been better without him? Good to see the Falcons using normal-size, traditional linemen. They need to move away from the the cut block stuff. yes, it’s legal, but it’s cheap and I hate to see them resort to it. Those little guys couldn’t pass block anyway, and we’re seeing now what Vick can do with time.

My fellow Falcons fan Fred has been screaming for two years to get rid of Lehr. Apparently, Fred knew what he was talking about. The difference between Clabo and Lehr has been like night and day. The left side of the line no longer caves in as soon as the ball is snapped. When Lehr’s suspension is completed, the Falcons should have a pink slip waiting for him!

By Ken Strickland

The coaching staff’s loyality is not restricted to just the players. Knapp remained loyal to his conservative OFF and play calling, even though our redzone and scoring OFF was among the worst in the NFL. None of that changed until Vick called him out, before the Steelers game, and forced a change. Donatell is still loyal to his soft cover 2& 3 zone DEF, even though it has been consistently torched since the Saints loss.

So, why should we be suprised at them showing the same stubborn loyality to selected players. There are 2 problems with the Webster situation. (1)Webster is being forced to play with a stress fracture in his foot. (2) Even if he was healthy, he is on the down side of his career and will not improve. LARRY W exposed their faulty thinking by showing that they seem to be more concerned with Lowe’s training camp performance that Webster’s regular season performance. If lowe’s TC performance was so disturbing, why in hell did they keep him on the roster? Come on Mora, don’t blow smoke up our collective butts and then tell us there’s a fire.

The coaching staff is also trying to make us believe the OLine’s Miraculous pass blocking turnaround is due to Alexander and Clabo. This is an example of Mora being loyal to his stubborn and somewhat clueless coordinators. FORCING KNAPP TO SPREAD THE OFF, PASS MORE ON 1ST AND 2ND DOWNS, AND CHANGE HIS UNBELIEVEABLY PREDICTABLE PLAY SELECTION, ARE THE REAL FACTORS. THESE ARE ALL OF THE THINGS VICK BROUGHT OUT IN HIS NATIONAL INTERVIEWS. Now everyone is saying how Vick has turned the corner and become more of a leader. Hell, Knapp is the one that has turned the corner, and become an OFF leader in the booth.

NOW, IF SOMEONE WILL JUST CALL OUT MORA AND DONATELL, A FORMER 49er DC, AND FORCE THEM TO BECOME MORE CONSISTENTLY AGGRESSIVE ON DEF.

JWeb has been bad; however, he is consistenly having the ball thrown his way because QBs are not willing to take the chance of having DHall pick one off. Therefore, JWeb is going to see the bulk of all pass attempts. Can anyone imagine what would happen to rookie JWilliams if he were on the field instead of JWeb? I believe most would be calling him a bust.

On the subject of the OL, I’m in full agreement w/ Ken Strickland. Knapp play calling was so predictable, that it didn’t give Vick a fighting chance to find any sort of rhythm. It also placed an undue amount of pressure on the OL to block guys that had a general idea of what was coming. Therefore, Knapp’s dumping his conservatism helped with the line play. Excuse me, in actuality, he went back to his conservative ‘play calling ways’ during the first two red zone appearances against the Bengals. It wasn’t until he realized that the Bengals were going to put up touchdowns that he decided to open it up. With that being said, I believe from this point forward, he will no longer be conservative… If Vick can have a stand out game this week, watch out!!!! This team is going to explode offensively.

What happened to Chris Cash. He seemed to have play fairly well last season. I do recall that he was not great but he would not get torch like J-web.

I think Lehr needs to GO! He was the reason Vick was getting sacked so much. I rather find some more guys like Alexander. Also, why are we still using Eric at TE. Why not use him as a back up lineman and TE.

By Kris Townsend

November 1, 2006 08:44 PM | Link to this

In all fairness to J-Web, the Falcons have not lost a game as a direct result of J-Web’s play. Now, they ALMOST lost 2 games because of him, but they didn’t.

He did play well vs. Carolina (even got a pick) and Tampa. I think Crocker needs to take accountability for being out of position as well. It’s his job to protect J-web in coverage and he’s gotten caught out of position a couple of times.

If Jimmy’s not ready, then he’s not ready. Let’s not forget he played safety his first 2 years at Va Tech and converted to CB. He was not very polished coming out, so he still needs to learn how to play it at the NFL level.

Based on last year, the coaching staff does not want to be forced to play young guys. That’s why the defense collapsed last year.

I’d like to see us fans move past the HBO interview now. It seems the team is heading in the right direction, it seems the staff believes in Vick and the rest of the offense to go out and win games. They have a new handle on the OLine strategy, from the sound of Steve’s report. (Please don’t make me eat my words, Coach Mora!) I hope the team is ready to roll against Detroit. We can’t overlook anyone. 5-2 is good but that could turn into 5-4 if we don’t play and coach with a proper sense of urgency.

Great post Ken. You are correct when you point out the biggest difference in the offense is the sudden change of philosophy. Along with the change in philosophy, the change in left guards has gone hand in hand with the offenses recent surge of success. The time that Vick has had to throw the ball has been amazing since the Lehr suspension. Isn’t it a shame that your quarterback has to call you out on National TV in order to get the opportunity to show that he can be an effective passer. Had Vick not done that, I’m willing to bet that we would be 3-4 instead of 5-2.

Excellent comments by all! It’s clear that we all love this team and want to have the best season possible! I agree that that the changes on the O-line are not the only reason for the fantastic play of the offense recently, but it is a big part. I agree that Knapp taking some restrictions off of Vick have increased his effectiveness (and our opponents misery). It’s also obvious that they really don’t want to play J.Williams instead of J. Webster. So let’s hope that Donatell realizes that you can’t have it both ways and dial up the pressure on opposing QB’s in order to cover his boy at CB.

Is it possible that an already undersized Lehr resorted to using steroids in an attempt to keep his job as an offensive lineman on the leagues #1 rushing offense? Possibly, but we’ll never know. For the record, Clabo played right guard against Cinci and Alexander played left guard (Lehr’s spot). I just watched the game on DVR.

Man, Hartwell looked slow in plugging the hole when he was on the field. Brooking is a beast and so is Boley, what a steal that guy was in the draft. Don’t know what to say about Webster other than the obvious, he gets beat a lot. Must be tough when your covering the only wide receiver on the field that your opposition will throw too. LOL on the blogger who dug up Charles Dimry who got beat more than the team that plays the Harlem Globetrotters. I’m really liking the trade for Lelie and so does Vick obviously. Great move McKay!

So let me get this straight! You rather play a guy that’s injured than someone who’s not? Also isn’t Allen Rossum, is consider a PR/KR/DB? Why not let him play the position. And let Adam Jennings do his duties? I agree with the rest of the bloggers, it Lowe & Williams are that bad why are these guys still on the roster? It’s the same with Brooking & Heartwell! Move Ketih back too the middle and get D. Williams back on the field! They play better together, and the overall chemistry of the defense just works better. With this combination they only allowed one touchdown in four games!

By truckstop

Playing Allen Rossum on defence is like having Gary Coleman (yes, that little runt) out there. Pleeeeze, let Rossum handle return duties. If Kevin Matis hadn’t got injured last year (and still mending while playing cause he’s tough!) he would be alternating with Webster if not handling most of the snaps at corner. The Falcons my need to bring in a proven vet like our starting safeties. But in the mean time, its Webster, y’all. uugggh!!!!

Just a little history. Last year’s starting safety Brian Scott was drafted by the Falcons in the first round as a starting corner back (I forget the year). He got burnt so bad in pre-season games that they moved him to safety and eventually fired his butt this past off-season. This very well may be the case with Jimmy Williams.

Where is Jordan Beck, if Hartwell can’t go this weekend? The guy has played good every time I’ve seen him play. Or is there something I don’t know?

Phalcon Fan is funny! You all can’t take a joke, because he was simply hilarious. “Make Vick play QB AND CB???” That was straight up funny.

Oh, and for the FALCONS!! guy who said to trade Vick now and get Jake Plummer and Champ Bailey was just as funny. LOL!

Let me get one: OK…

What we really need to do is line up Vick at Running Back. We should have no Quarterback, but make the center direct snap the ball to either Dunn, Vick, or Norwood and all of our passes will be half-back passes. Then, we should trade Lelie BACK to Denver for Champ Bailey!

Oh YEAH!!!

D. Williamsmust really suck if they are not playing him. I am not happy with J Web, in fact I would rather see old man Deion Sanders at corner than that guy (Yes I realize that post was a joke). However the facts remain…if we had a better corner I’m sure they would play him. No coach would be crazy enough to leave sorry a$$ Webster in the lin-up if we had someone better. I mean this guy mightbe the worst starting corner in the NFL. The othger guys must be horrific. My question is, “why did you keep these guys if they are that bad?”! We have to have someone that’s better than Webster. This guy is killing the Falcons.

My other concern is Hartwell. Why is this guy starting. he has doen nothing for the Falcons since being aquired. He is also a bust. Let’s get Demorrio back in the line-up.

I also love Matt Schaub, but are you guys for real? You would actually rather see him than Mike Vick right now. Vidck is hot!! Even if he faulters this week against Detroit I still think he gives us the best chance to win.

Go Falcons.

PS. Please keep Lehr out of the frigging line-up. We finally had a reason (other than he sucks) to bench him. Please don’t let him back in. He is horrible!!
