I just want more pressure than the 16% we came with last year defense and the DB not being 12 yards off the line of scrimmage.. new blood at the DT at least 320ibs plus
@@Chosen1Dom calling plays to pressure the QB all on the coach.. but not calling them is a different story..I just need us to be good in the front 7 then the rest will fall in place
If we can improve our defense we will be a SERIOUS contender as in my opinion, we have a top 5 RB, amazing TE and WRs so if we get used to Penix’s left handed throws and power we will be top notch 🔥🔥
@@russellwilkerson2121I’m not even kidding. Our offense is legit now. Penix is our guy. Bijan is a freight train. Drake is now WR1 indefinitely. We need edge rush and a real defense
Honestly I like this hire because his last 2 stops he worked closely with Raheem and Saleh. 2 superbowl level defensive coordinators. Also I like the fact he was forced to be interim head coach for a while. He knows a little bit more about communication and organization since he had to take over that role. Honestly if he can get our defense to be in the top 12 I’d consider him one of the next great defensive minds to come up through the ranks. I’m optimistic but keeping my expectations low and praying for the best.
he was who I initially wanted before I found out we were interviewing wink and wilks and felt the team needed that breath of fresh air. He’s certainly right tho, I’m sure he’s learned a lot under saleh, im excited to have him back
Just because Brich is somewhat a 'retread' doesn't mean that he hasn't grown as a coach. We've got a long way before next season. Let's see how things develop. 🤷🏾♂️
It's amazing in this day and age that sports journalists are still asking the 4-3 or 3-4 defense question. smh The Falcons' problem has not been the scheme. They don't have a premier talent on the defensive line that forces the other team to scheme against that player. In other words the offenses can do what they WANT to do rather than what they are FORCED to do. And to compound that problem, we haven't had a defensive play caller who would call a game to overcome the lack of a pass rusher/disrupter. The bend don't break approach. You either need to get a disrupter or call the game in a way to create disruption. The Falcons have done neither.
It’s definitely a scheme problem as well. You don’t put a defensive end on a running go route. Also, yes there was a problem with players as well because two games for sure screen passes beat them.
Jets were 3rd in defensive yards allowed & 2nd best ranked secondary in the NFL.... so we'll see if he can bring that same energy from the Jets D & what we once had in 2016 Superbowl year when Ulbrich & Raheem were here
So tired of Falcons' coaches refusing to acknowledge that sacks are better than hurries or moving the QB off his spot. Sacks come with a down AND loss of yards. All those other things are just loss of down unless it's an interception. And sacks can also come with fumbles. If you just hurry the QB he's not necessarily going to turn the ball over.
Sacks are good but it does not tell the whole story. It’s more about getting timely stops and making defensive adjustments . Because the Chiefs finished the season being ranked 19 in the NFL with 39 sacks in the year and are going back to another SB
But they all matter, hurrying the quarterback can lead to a bad decision (interception), moving the quarterback creates its own problems. Yes, a sack is preferred, but anything is better than the quarterback standing in the pocket or rushing for 15 yards per play is objective.
Lmao well you’d be tired of every other 31 teams defensive coach then because they all say that dude😭 (pressures over sacks) is literally a monumental comment from nfl coaches lol…
I like what JU talked about here. He talked about the downfalls of Atlanta Defense in my opinion for years now. You cannot win in NFL running and playing the same types of defenses every game. KC keeps on winning because they never do the same thing on offense or defense. You can run vanilla plays on offense or defense and think they will work every game. You have to be a creative of schemes and fits for your team. We have been too soft and too predicable over the years and this is one reason we never won a Super Bowl or never won year after year in NFL
Feels like the Falcons are back in the Rankin Smith era of Falcons football. We're rehiring the same people and expecting different results. NOTHING Ulbrich said today makes me feel good about the direction of the defense or this team as a whole. We continue to collaborate and yet this team never elevates.
They're similar faces but they're not the same coaches. Jeff had no coordinator experience when he was first here. Rah didn't have full control of decision making as an interim. They were here when we last made a playoff appearance, so they have a greater understanding of how desperately the organization wants to win.
Man i said the same damn thing. I have no expectations for any improvements going forward defensively. Gonna be another high power offense and a bottom tier defense I'm afraid smh
Terry definitely needs to scrap the best player available strategy and focus entirely on defense this off season. I don't have the same optimism as others on here. The rehire of Raheem and now this just seems like same old same old. I hope I'm wrong and will be happy to admit it if we win more games.
As usual, the Falcons seem to hire really good people. Ulbrich seems like another one. I like the people. I just don’t like the results. I hope this mgt team will be able to put it together in 2025.
0:08 the last two DC’s had plans that failed so… 🤞 I’ll listen now that I’ve got that off my chest. 😂today and tomorrow are full of hopes and dreams. 😂
I think we have a scheme and development problem. Outside of 2021, the Rams' overall defense under Coach Morris was average. 16th in 2022 and 18th in 2023.
Jeff...we do not want no damn kumbaya moments. You are the Defensive Coordinator now...hope you told Coach Rah who you are bringing in and to stay the hell out of your way. Get with Terry and tell him what you need. Go straight to him 😆, don't worry about Coach Rah....he will catch up. Be Jeff "Buddy Ryan" Ulbrich. Let's go Falcons.
How on earth Arthur continues to get fleeced by this GM is beyond me. We could have had Bill Belichick and 40+ million more in cap space with a competent front office.
Unless they provide this man Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey level talent, this defense will be Swiss cheese again in 2025. Raheem is a joke and hired a yes man
I gotta be honest I have no hope in this team. Every season I go in with hope and get let down. Every single year since 1997 so from now on I'm just expecting the worst.
I'm not interested in him are the head coach. There's just something missing in this organization. We would be better off in the long run if we were to look at some of these young young coaches in the college ranks instead of hiring these rejects for a couple of seasons and then starting all over again. I think Mr.Blank is a very good guy,but behind closed doors he must be very easy to convince. Just saying
BORING AS HECK!!!!! Coming from New York I bet he thinks he hit the jackpot with this media. He just realized he doesn't have to prepare for a press conference
there's no pressure to win in atlanta, at that's the real issue. anybody knows that they can collect a check from arthur with minimal expectations and a long leash amid disappointing results. this the same idiot that chose Takk McKinley over TJ Watt. we can't be serious smh
This organization is the worst in the NFL ARUTHER BLANKS NEED to put in like he do the SOCCER TEAM OR SELL THE FOOTBALL TEAM TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO WINN A SUPERBOWL FIRST THING IS TO FIRE RICH MC KAY FACTS AND START OVER WITH A REAL FOOTBALL COACH AND FIRE THIS STAFF ASAP FACTS.
We gotta go crazy during this upcoming draft into the next season. From strong EDGE to CBs & DEs, we will be solid.
he seems like he can be a guy i’m not getting sold until i see results this time
Welcome back, Jeff! Bring the nasty defense to the ATL!
Jet fan here. Good guy. Nice to hear him be honest about his mistakes. Good luck Brick!!
Yea we've bc already had him here in Atlanta
The falcons are going to win their 1st Superbowl and many more keep believing everyone welcome back Jeff
Calm down.. he hasn't done crap yet

It’s not going to happen overnight and until they get players in here for the defense the thrive the players gone make the coach better.
Let’s get Jordan Davis

DC doesn’t even matter. We need talent. Biggest draft of Terry’s career.
With 4 picks gonna be a hard task. Gonna have to trade back and the falcons have not typically done that in the past
I agree

Great press conference....he definitely is creating a multiple scheme. Loved his accountability about things he failed at
Lol.. you funny
This is why you hire people who are great for the job and who you can trust.
As Al Davis used to say " JUST WIN BABY "
Let’s go Jeff
Welcome Back Coach Let’s Work I See It In Your Eyes You Ready Let’s Go ✊🏾
Being creative/multiple can mean so many different things, can yall scout & develop players to win games..?
A franchise whose highest moment of all times is blowing a 25 point lead in the Super Bowl.
Get this man some defensive players to work with . Big DT, nickel /safety and a Lb . I don't care how free agency or draft

Rise up and get us one🏆!!!❤️🔥
As long as he tell Raheem call time our or call it his damn self I’m fine
It's going to be interesting what he does with the defense Atlanta falcons rise up
Saying all the right things with multiple schemes . I hope I see a Jets Top 5/10 Defense!
I can respect that he took accountability.
I like James Pearce Jr. if he’s there, if not then Mike Green
Glad he is back!! Let’s Go!!
Go Falcons 👍😎
Yall going into the right path now it’s time for that draft
I feel good about this 🎉
8:55 Draft Defensive Players from the Dawgs. Worked for the Eagles
Nice guy. With Raheem at the helm I think we take a step back to 7-10. Hopefully Jeff can take over for him mid season.
Welcome back Jeff!!! Time to get after it!!!! Playoffs or bust for the next decade!!!
More like Superbowl or bust
Exactly the pass rush
Jets were 3rd in defensive yards allowed & 2nd best ranked secondary in the NFL.... so we'll see if he can bring that same energy from the Jets D & what we once had in 2016 Superbowl year when Ulbrich & Raheem were here
Obviously pass rush is on everyones lips but i also want to get more physical at the LB position. I want a legit thumper on the roster.

Let’s go “Brich” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Looking forward to an improved defense this coming season.
Defense needs SPEED
Need some monsters.Remember we already tried that .DQ would always get guys who were fast but undersized and they would get man handled.
And technique and physicality...gotta wrap up and tackle.
@shonuf5152 gotta wrap up tackle
I looked all over the Falcons Shop and could not find that swag he’s wearing. Anybody see it anywhere??
We beat Philly and it should be us in the SB! Let’s get our act together and win!!!
Bro lol we didnt deserve to make it i like your fandom but dont be hurtin yourself like that
With Raheem we ain't never going near a superbowl.
I like what JU talked about here. He talked about the downfalls of Atlanta Defense in my opinion for years now. You cannot win in NFL running and playing the same types of defenses every game.

As long as you don't see Glanville or June we're not there yet ..lol
You are so correct. Raheem spells doom. We will never win with this guy. Shades of Marion Campbell..
If Cousins is still around, we'll have the highest paid tackle dummy holder in the league.....so we have that goin for us 😂
WERE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!
We are cursed by new Orleans fans 😢
Ra my buddy! 😂😂😂😂😂
That fact that people are saying get rid of Grady is crazy. Coming off a knee injury.. he had a B grade on the season. Get us so LBs.

Can't do anything without the players, AB as your owner, and a fast talking yes man as your HC

1st is crazy
Why can't we ever get a Pete Carroll
We are cooked 😔
aaaaaaaaaanother 7 win season incoming
Please draft Carter do whatever takes get rid of Pitts

Sad we have to wait through another losing season.
Hopefully they don't micro manage the defense and let these guys fly around n make plays.

Be aggressive on defense
