Hall of fame quarterback Kurt Warner rips Steve Sarkisian’s offense

Falcons fans spent the offseason crossing their fingers that Steve Sarkisian would put it together. The team improved their offensive roster http://www.authenticsatlantafalcons.com/cheap-mohamed-sanu-jersey , he got more time to adjust to the team and the NFL, and they added Greg Knapp, a quarterback coach with a lengthier NFL resume than Bush Hamdan. The result was the same. The players looked uncomfortable, passes were off, passes were dropped, and the red zone remains a disaster. The “wrinkles” promised only days ago appear to be forcing previously failed formations to work. Four verts at the goal line three times in a row? And trying to smash through an 11 man box repeatedly? That’s clearly a recipe for failure Atlanta Falcons Womens T-Shirt , but Hall of Fame quarter Kurt Warner found smaller, more serious problems with the offense. He explained what he saw on the Jim Rome show.Warner compares what he saw in Kyle Shanahan’s offense to what he saw on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. When asked if he believed this was an execution issue or a coaching issue, Warner focused on two themes: (1) players are not being used to their strengths; and (2) the small intricacies are missing.We saw (1) last year a lot, probably best highlighted by Tevin Coleman. Too often Coleman was run up the middle against stacked boxes, and rarely put into space or catching the ball, where he was a dynamic offensive weapon. Sarkisian never figured out how to use Taylor Gabriel at all. If we are comparing Shanahan to Sarkisian Atlanta Falcons Hats , Shanahan got production out of all of his tight ends. Sarkisian focused on Austin Hooper.Now (2) may be even more problematic. As Warner puts it, the little things in the NFL are what makes a play successful. He points out that the routes have been sloppy, and suggests they are not emphasized by coaches. It sounds like Sarkisian may still not be sure what it takes to win in the NFL. Things may have been easier when he was the head coach at USC, and those problems Warner mentioned didn’t matter when your players were significantly more talented than anyone else on the field. It may be similar to how some young players struggle to adapt to playing in the NFL. They have been the fastest guy on the field their whole life, so they never had to sweat the small stuff. Once in the NFL, they aren’t the fastest anymore.Does Sarkisian even know what worked in college will not always work in the pros? And if he figures that out Atlanta Falcons Womens Hoodie , does he have the coaching ability to make the change? The early results show there’s still a long way for Sarkisian to go.Falcons vs. Buccaneers odds: Atlanta’s the favorite at home in Week 6 Atlanta’s on quite a run, and not the good kind. It says a lot about the perception of both the Falcons and the Buccaneers that they’re still favored to win this week, by however small a margin. The Falcons are a field goal favorite against Tampa Bay, a 2-2 team with one impressive win (48-40 over the Saints in Week 1), one increasingly less impressive win (27-21 against the Eagles in Week 2), one narrow loss (30-27 against the Steelers in Week 3) and one absolute beatdown (48-10 by the Bears in Week 4). They’re fresh off a bye Womens Customized Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , but they remain one of the NFL’s true enigmas, even in this weird year.Is this a Bucs team that has turned the corner but still has major problems on defense, or are they a pretender who rode two hot weeks from Ryan Fitzpatrick into a solid start to the season? We don’t know the answer to that—though I’d guess the latter—but this game against Atlanta ought to help clarify things. One thing is evident: The way Jameis Winston has played against this team before, and Tampa Bay’s defensive weakness, means that this turning into anything but a shootout or an Atlanta blowout means big trouble for the Falcons. We’ll see if they can finally start to right the ship now that they’re 1-4.
