This hypothesis would be more meaningful if you presented any data on the Falcons conversion rate inside the 5-yard line or on 3rd and short (less than 2 yards). Simply noting a lower rushing TD total doesn’t tell us anything. We’ve probably had fewer opportunities inside the 5 this year, because most of our drives are stalling out well before that point. And Duckett’s absence isn’t the reason we can’t get from the 40 to the goal line.

Yes. Traded a running back who could score from inside the 5 for another wide receiver who can’t catch.

Yes, we need a huge back to move the pile, a battering ram, a sledgehammer of a running back. Too bad that was never Tiptoe T.J. Duckett.

While I’ve always liked Ashley Lelie (who may be infected with Roddy-dropsis,) I gotta say our Red Zone offense has suffered. Do the math: if our undersized OLine can’t open holes, then you need a tank like TJ to push everyone aside and go through. I can’t believe he wouldn’t have gotten us a few more TDs from inside the 20.

Now I’m going back to ruminating about the WIDES (Will Inevitably Drop Everything,) and what the Falcons/coaches should do about it.

TJ may be a great guy (from what I’ve read) but I don’t think he’s missed by the team. In fact, he barely makes the squad in Washington. I get real tired of hearing people say how much we miss TJ. Personally, I don’t miss him getting stuffed behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 4th down as happened quite frequently last year.

If Knapp would stop trying to be so damned fancy when they get in the red zone, maybe we’d have better success. Actually, here’s one for Knapp to try out this week. When we get inside the 5 yard line, bring in Schaub at QB, Vick at tailback, Grady Jackson at fullback and one TE and one WR split out. And if Grady is too big a risk to fumble, maybe one of the other bigger fellas, like Eric Beverly. What do ya think?

And I agree with “Not so fast”. Steve, to make a valid comparison, you need to provide a little more data.

The cones have a recent history of downplaying things they know they need to address. “Our secondary is fine” re: trade up to get jimmy williams, and acquire lawyer and crock. “We don’t need a big body to in the middle to stop the run” re: sign Grady Jackson; “Our receiving corps is good enough, we’re not worried” (after losing Fin) re: trade Duckett for Lelie. The staff not acknowledging the faults of having no “pound it in” back is just another smoke screen. I like Dunn but Duckett at least gave the illusion of a run up the middle. All people do now is play the bootleg or force a pass to receivers who aren’t catching the ball.

Of course they miss him. Teams know from film that Warrick Dunn goes down like a “rolly poley” bug at the first hint of contact. Our offense lacks any physicality when featuring a 180 lb RB. That should be common sense to most people — it is simple “laws of physics.”

Just check out all of the teams vying for playoffs this year and you will find they feature backs who break tackles, backs who run hard, who makes defenders “give a second thought” to trying to wrap them up.

Ever notice how when a Deuce McCallister is heading through a line that safeties and DBs (even our own Lawyer Millow) eschew the concussion-inducing “wrap tackle” in favor of the “no-arm body block”? Think any NFL players out there have any qualms about putting a solid wrap tackle on the dimunitive Warrick Dunn? Of course not. That’s simple common sense.

SO WHY DID THIS TEAM’S MANAGEMENT DELIBERATELY GO INTO THIS NFL CAMPAIGN WITH A SMALL RB AND A SMALL CENTER AND LEFT GUARD?

Did they not consider that they would one day NEED to power their way into the endzone?

That is a huge reason our play-calling is so wimpy:

MANAGEMENT DELIBERATELY CHOSE TO HAVE A TEAM THAT IS SMALLER AND WEAKER AT THE POINT OF ATTACK.

I think there is some serious football negligence going on in Flowery Branch. The further Rich McKay gets from Tony Dungy / John Gruden the less football-savvy he and the rest of the team’s braintrust look.

Think about it, who would just choose to be weaker and smaller than the opponents in a rough game like football up front and at running back? It makes no sense.

So when we keep getting stuffed running a slowed down, washed up munchkin these last few games, just rest comfortable in the knowledge that it is by design.

Arthur Blank has some serious work on his hands weeding out these guys.

Personally, I don’t miss Duckett one bit. I celebrated when he was traded from the team. They say Duckett is a short yard gainer. Isn’t that a bad thing? Anyone can run for short yard gains. An uncoordinated fool can fall forward for a yard. I think the main problem is the offensive coordinator. Forget about Duckett and start thinking about ways to get into the endzone.

By Vikingsouth

In short yardage, yeah, they miss Duckett. Overall, though, he was a disappointment. His yards per carry weren’t that impressive, and he was somewhat out of shape. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dunn or Norwood. They are excellent backs. Even the best back, except for maybe Earl Campbell or John Riggins in their primes, need a block. Norwood has outragious talent, but even he needs a little help. The Falcons O-line is terrible. At least they used to be able to do that cut blocking they love so much, now they can’t even do that right.

I don’t miss Tippy-toe one bit. He was part of the reason (lack of heart/character) Falcons tanked last year in the second half and would have continued his slack-a* ways this season. Think there’s a reason Redskins hardly use him even with Portis hurt?

Simple answer the Falcons’ coaches don’t seem to get (except for one carry at end of game vs. Saints): Use Griffith!

Do really believe that Vick has the tools around him to succeed like the “GOOD OH BOYS” (1) coach (2)pro bowl receivers (3) pro bowl offensive linemens. If Vick was a typical white quarterback 6”5 230lbs we would not be having this debate. It’s time to tell our children that in today society a person of color has the same priviledge as white people.

The Falcons red zone woes go much, much deeper than T.J. Duckett. The Falcons have big backs who can or should be able to move the pile. The real problem in the red zone is a lack of imagination by the O.C. Several options are at the Falcons disposal once inside the ten yard line. One is to line up Griffith behind McCrary in the power “I” formation and pound it straight ahead. Another option would be to to line up in a full house backfield with McCrary, Griffith, and Norwood with double tights on the line. A good O.C. does not make excuses about what he doesn’t have, he figures out how to best utilize what he does have.

Losing Duckett is not the problem. The Falcons’ current red zone problems now go back to the same reason why Duckett struggled here — the zone-blocking finesse scheme the Falcons run. Maybe it works in the middle of the field when you are running up against 4-man defensive lines and 7-8 man fronts, but when you are on the goal line and teams are lining up 5 or even 6 defensive linemen and 9 or 10 guys in the box, you can’t play finesse and expect to open holes for your RB. Trading Duckett was not a bad move as long as they are running this scheme, because his running style was not at all suited for this blocking scheme. It doesn’t matter if we sign Jerome Bettis right now, even he would have a hard time getting in the end zone as long as we keep zone-blocking on the goal line. Even if they want to use zone-blocking in other situations, on the goal line and short yardage situations the O-linemen need to be able to push guys off the line of scrimmage if the Falcons want to be successful.

Philosophers or coaches? I’m still reeling:

“For anything to grow, it has to die,” receivers coach George Stewart said, trying to sound optimistic in a morose sort of way. “Hopefully, we’ve gone as low as we can go, because it feels like we’re at rock bottom.”

If JG WAS the plan post-Duckett, why aren’t we EXECUTING (the coaches that is…) We’ve got some beefy guys like Beverly and McCrary, who can’t pound out every down but should be good on a few in the Red Zone.

It serves no purpose to play “what if” about TJ Duckett. It certainly does nothing to change the Falcons fortunes. They should be or should have been more than capable of winning wiith the personnel they now have. Why get lost in useless nostalgia about TJ? There’s no guarantee that even if he was still on the team that he’d be able to score in short yardage situations with any success. Yes, TJ is big, but he ran the ball very timidly for a big man. He was not a bruiser by any stretch of the imagination. The Falcons’ problems are much more deeper than missing Duckett. The fact of the matter is that the Falcons have undersized linemen and it has become their Achilles heel in the run and passing game. Beef up the line next year and the Falcons become a completely different team. Although, the problems with the receivers and the secondary will remain as major areas to be fixed.

Steve W, we the fans have solved this problem but the coaches do not listen. Did anyone noticed how we scored our TD the last game. They took out the WRs and put in some big guys. They blew the defense off the ball. The zone stuff is a slow developing play. You can not run it on the goal line because defense are taught to shoot the gaps and get in the backfield. We can not do that. The best way to attack a defense on the goal line is to KNOCK some people off the ball.

Steve tell Mora and company to have a goal line package. The package should be the best run blocking lineman. The guys that can knock people off the ball. We can Justin, Norwood, or Dunn at TB. The FB can be a lineman, linebacker, or Eric. He can put in all the TEs. He can use Crumpler and Blakley at TE with Jenkins at WR.

If we have the passing set, we move Justin to FB. He can still use two TEs. He can split the best passing catching TE out. Blakley has shown he wants to catch the ball. He can be in on the package. Inside the five speed is not needed as much. However, size can help if the person knows how to get his body between the ball and the DB. Now we can run or pass.

By Steve T

November 29, 2006 08:33 PM | Link to this

Steve W, we can use that power package with Norwood at TB and Justin at FB as part of the offensive package. In other words, when Vick broke those long runs, we could have hammer the other team with the power package.

If Duckett would have been the power back he was supposed to be, he would still be here. Was everyone not around last year? The problem is DEFENSE, COACHING, and GREG KNAPP. Knapp didn’t know how to use Duckett either.

It appears that Mora is going to live or die with his best friend as the O.C. He has stated that he will not replace Knapp. My question to you coach Mora is Why? This team is getting progressively worse with each passing week. Even our vaunted run game is a distant memory now. Knapp does not adjust, period. Every Sunday you pretty much know what you’re going to get from him. Boring unimaginative playcalling. I will say that at least Donatell makes adjustments at halftime, but Knapp continues at his same clueless pace regardless of what’s happening on the field. If Mora refuses to get rid of his friend, then McKay should get rid of Mora.

Miss TJ Duckett? Can he play WR now? If so, then I’d say he’s missed. I just don’t think the falcons utilized Justin Griffith or Jerious Norwood enoough in goal line situations. Besides, Duckett had fallen off towards the end of his time here in Atlanta.

By Chris

They very well should miss Duckett. I remember last season pretty much every time they got close to the goal they handed the ball to Duckett and he scored. He made it look easy which is why many people didn’t really think about it that much. Fast forward to this season and we see that Dunn simply can’t run it in from one or two yards out and the coaches are forced to come up with fancy plays in order to have any chance of scoring since they can’t just pound it in. It’s a huge loss and Lelie has done very little for this team.

One other point to be made…these receivers caught the ball when they played in college, and they caught the ball when they played for other teams. Now they’re not catching the ball and usually that’s because Vick doesn’t throw it well, plain and simple.

Vick throws it way too hard on short passes and way off the mark on other passes. Sure they’ve dropped a few passes this season, but very few have been the receivers fault. It’s not the coaches, it’s not the receivers, it’s Vick.

I remember two games in a row last year that the Falcons needed one yard to get a first down. In one game they ran Duckett off right tackle two plays in a row and didn’t get the first down. In the second game, same situation, same play, same result. I agree with so many prior posts, it’s not the running back, large or small, its the play calling. Everyone knew what was coming. All the fans knew, so how could the defense not know.

Word is King Arthur thinks that it would be a great idea to bring in Freddie Mitchell. That way he would have yet another useless first round pick wideout who can not get open and who can not catch the ball. And the best thing for Blank is that he would then a useless wide receiver from the 2001, 2002, 2004, & 2005 drafts. If they get Mitchell, then they will only be missing a useless first round wideout from the 2003 draft. I talked to King Arthur yesterday though and he told me not to worry. He has been keeping his eye out for Charles Rogers and he is going to sign Charles Rogers next week in addition to Freddie Mitchell that way he can have himself the all time useless first round wideout depth chart for the falcons: 2001 -mitchell; 2002 - lelie; 2003 - charles rogers; 2004- jenkins; 2005 - roddy white.

i too wonder why Marlion Jackson isn’t on the active roster. preseason is preseason, but he ran hard and large. if you aren’t going to use him, at least get Justin Griffith and Fred Mc involved near the goalline. this is what happens when a coaching staff seems to lose control of a team, we all sit here and wonder how come we are so smart and have figured it all out, and they are such dopes and can’t get anything right. btw, watch HBO Inside the NFL this week. Chris Carter has very interesting interview with Larry Johnson of Chiefs about Larry’s issues w/ Vermeil and his happiness over Herm Edwards (who mainly is letting him play).

Knapp makes the fans upset with his play calling. When the Falcons get insode the 10 yard line he simply needs to bring in 2 tight ends and a full back and 1 receiver. Just pound the ball.

If they truely feel like they need a big boy in the back then instead of lining Alge up as a blocker put him in the backfield. He is stout enough to move the pile and has good hands (even though he is dropping passes this year which might not be noticed if the WR actually caught things that hit their hands 40% of the time). Giving Grady the ball is just asking for someone to chop off the big man’s knee’s and then where is our run D. Much worse than it already is…

T J Duckett is a non-factor and not an issue. The problem is how to re-configure the backfield that we have now. All of the tools are there, someone needs to figure out what to do. Use Vick as a running back along with Dunn and maybe D Hall. Let Schaub or Shockley QB some of the time or don’t use a QB at all. The Center could snap the ball and throw it at the same time. If none of this works, move the team to LA. (That is probably coming anyway, by 2008) Sign some more players from Virginia Tech Thug-avirsity and that will get us to the Super Bowl. Give Vick, D Hall and all the falcon WR’s a pay raise for their excellent performance.

At this point i think TJ is a nonfactor in ragards to who got most out of the trade. Ducket would for sure scored within 5 yards of the goaline, but the falcons have not been in that situation much this year. earlier thier problems extended as far as 20 to 30 yards from the endzone, which TJ is not known for running with power from that distance. i think he is just as easier to take down than Warrick. Warrick squeezes thru holes TJ pushes thru holes.

As far as Lelie, every reciever drop passes, its just the other recieves doing it more that he is, which makes his far and in -between dropps just that more signficant and exploited.

Which in turn exploits the stats for vick. And fore most the momentum of games. he is unable to create momentum, steady paces, confidence, etc.. all of the thins stats don’t account for.

Vick throws it way too hard on short passes and way off the mark on other passes. Sure they’ve dropped a few passes this season, but very few have been the receivers fault. It’s not the coaches, it’s not the receivers, it’s Vick.

Now that is funny, these guys did not seem to have a problem against the Steelers and Ciny. They were catching everything in sight. Brian Finneran did not seem to have a problem. Cole “Sunshine” Magner did not have a problem catching the ball.

I think the problem is the O-line. They can not contain the rush. The WRs can not get separation. Why is it that every team we play have such tight coverage? If it the play calling.

The Falcons don’t miss Duckett. They’re just not utilizing what they have. The dumbest head coach in the NFL won’t stop throwing the d@mn ball in the red zone — inside the 10 even.

Norwood can get the ball into the endzone, and there’s no doubt about that. They just never run him down there. By the way, what happened to trying to get him the ball in the open field? Several times when Vick rolls out Norwood is wide open 10 yards down field, but Vick doesn’t even consider passing it. He’d rather get sacked.

Think about this one: You could kick Vick in the a$$ and Mora in the head with one kick.

Norwood is a phenomenal talent that would be better off playing for a team that’ll use him. Mora’s an idiot that has his head so far up Vick’s a$$ that he can’t even consider getting other players involved.
