Is Arthur Smith actually a bad coach? I had the impression that ATL had a pretty good coaching staff and are performing up to or slightly beyond their talent. It’s obviously dumb that he isn’t using his best players as much as he should. What else about him is “fireable?”
I feel like there’s a new “f*ck this guy” article on here everyday damn
I think he is a pacifist that would explain everything
Arthur Smith is given a Ferrari and Lamborghini but drive them 10 mph under the speed limit on a freeway. He ran Derrick Henry into the ground in Tennessee and now he wants to skip his way to the finish line instead of sprint with the Falcons 🙄
That’s what I’m saying
Like you ran Derrick into the ground and while we don’t have derrick we gotta good run game with a shit QB and 3 really RBs. Like runs those 3 constantly
FUUCCCK
Maybe he attributes Derrick Henry’s success to how much he was eased in during his first few years of his career.
And not to the fact that he is the size and speed of a large truck?
Arthur Smith = Bad
Now give me my upvotes and Pulitzer Prize
My fantasy team agrees.
If i was a billionaire, and the heir to the fed ex fortune, have access to every fed ex plane, what the fuck are you doing as an nfl coach. This nepo baby everyday shows more how much of a chucklefuck he is. The worst part, dude will have more money than everyone in this comment section, he is set for life. Instead of partying his face off he wants to tell people he knows more about kyle pitts than you do.
Fuck this dude
He does know more about Kyle Pitts than you do. The Bijan stuff is annoying, but Kyle Pitts gets more usage than Jonnu Smith and does less with them. He’s clearly not recovered from the knee injury and just straight up doesn’t look great out there.
I can’t believe people are allowed to post such lies and slander. Falcons head coach Arthur Smith is like very good and definitely isn’t misusing his weapons. In my, very, professional opinion I think the Falcons should make him their coach for life, and pay him like all the money.
Nahh you need a QB before you can evaluate weapons… I actually give ‘em props for trying to give Ridder a chance even if it was a long shot…
Time to forfeit some assets and move up in the draft
Wtf is this about? Jonnu Smith is thriving
when life gives Arthur Smith lemons, he makes sour milk
It’s so weird to me. The Titans offense was potent when he was here, and we’ve backslid every year since he left. I really thought he was going to do great things in Atlanta, but I guess that’s why I’m a roofer and not an NFL GM.
Tripped me up; I know a roofer (who is also a Titans fan) here in FL. lol
Nah he makes beef stew
When life gives you lemons, put the lemons on a table, then stand back, sip some dirty water out of an unwashed coffee mug, and nod with satisfaction at the strong contribution the lemons are making away from the drink.
Surprise! He knew that the lemons were the best part of the lemonade, but he knew that the other team would know that as well…
Who’s ever in his fanasty league just accept the lowball trade for Bijian already
I traded Bijan, DK and Addison for Ekeler and Mattison 2 weeks ago and with how things have fallen with bijan being blackballed, Addison losing Kirk and Cam tearing his Achilles… I’m looking like a damn thief.
You guys just dont get it. You arent football genuises like Arty Smith.
translation: he keeps making me lose in fantasy so i’m going scorched earth
Tony pollard has been worse in fantasy but McCarthy doesn’t get shit like this because his team is good at football and there are reasons for the things he does
Allgeier and London are doing ok for me in fantasy, so I’m not complaining.
Holy shit how many times a day am I going to see this same premise of an article regurgitated in different wording
what losing to Josh “i don’t know anyone’s name yet” Dobbs does to a mf
As long as he keeps playing genius ball every Sunday, you’ll get these articles.
It is so annoying. Especially bc it all started bc of baby fantasy players/analysts. His offense is performing perfectly fine for what he has under center. The Falcons have bottom barrel QB play and a trash defense. Idk what people expect out of him tbh.
Both Pitts and London play a ton. Pitts ranks 9th in route % at te. He just has QBs who cant hit him or dont want to throw the routes he runs. Smith runs low adot yac, which is also what he excels at. Ive never seen so many people complain about a player in Jonnu getting touches when he has legitimately been good.
Could Bijan get more touches, sure. But why would a team grind their top 10 draft pick into the ground as a rookie on a bad team that isnt anywhere close to competing yet?
Our offense is not performing perfectly fine for the circumstances. If we have great talent all over the offense except QB then how are we moving the ball well yardage wise with an absolute inability to score close where your QB matters less.
We also don’t have a trash defense. We spent a crazy amount of money on them last year and until the wheels started falling off the past couple of weeks we’ve been Top 10. We’re also playing the easiest schedule with the most amount of brand new QBs I’ve ever seen. Arthur Smith is also almost completely 100% hands off with the defense. I’ve never even heard him praise the defense at all this season, which is strange considering they’re the reason we won 3 of our 4 wins.
No one is complaining about Jonnu’s production in the passing game. London and Pitts usage are both fine. We’re complaining about Jonnu’s Smith’s usage in the redzone on trick plays and with Bijan’s usage in total but espically in the redzone.
It is absolutely malpractice to save your 21 rookie RB with the division being so weak. The Falcons could very feasibly be 6-3 this year and in total control of our division and frankly, we should be. If we “weren’t ready to compete yet” then drafting a RB at 8 to replace your young 1000 yard rusher is the firable offense. Either way you slice it he’s fucking it up.
Atlanta was suppose to compete this year. I’m not drinking so much copium to think we were competitive in the playoffs necessarily, but we absolutely should be competing for NFC South title and the fact that we’re going 7-10 AGAIN is frustrating and a lot of that falls on Arthur Smith.
A good qaurterback matters so much more in the rz because of how condensed the field gets and how much less time you have to make a decision as a result of the reduced spacing. Plays are also limited due to this as well and high level accuracy as a QB is imperative as well as quick processing and reaction time. Running the ball becomes much more difficult in the rz.
The defense isn’t that good. It is a bunch of mostly vets past their primes and no true actual difference makers at any position besides maybe AJ, which even then feels like a stretch to say. They are bottom half in points allowed. Bottom 10 in turnovers. Given up the 4th most passing TDs. I’ll give them they have been good against the run, but they are not good against the pass at all. They are 29th in pass rush win rate. On Oct 16th they were the 29th ranked pass defense based on DVOA. Not sure what it is now, but I know it isnt good.
Youre not listening if you don’t think people are not complaining about London/Pitts/Bijan usage. There has been one game with bad play calling at the goalline on 3 straight possessions and people want to blanket apply it to the entire season now.
Slamming your rb into the ground as a rookie on a bad team just to MAYBE win the division only to get steam rolled in a playoff game is pointless. Last I checked, Smith isnt the GM so why are we blaming him for Bijan at 8? He was arguably the best player available at 8, and was without a doubt outside of Carter. Most rookie don’t get slammed year 1. Hell, Carter rarely plays over 50% of the snaps.
Only Falcons fans thought ATL was supposed to compete this year. Everyone else knew this is the Saints division and that ATL would be just good enough to not be a bottom barrel team while playing a cake schedule.
Smith hung 28 on the Vikings with Heinicke (who threw a pick 6 btw) and somehow it is his fault and his offensive play calling/scheme’s fault bc his defense and DC let Dobbs hang 3 tuddies on them.
Until he stops making lose fantasy games
I kind of am rooting for the Falcons to win.
Of course if they do, everyone will say it was because of the players and not because of the coach, so I don’t know what to think.
