I don't know if he turns into a different QB as much as he simply not that great of a QB. He's very good, but can't quite put the team on his shoulders and execute the right plays at the right time.

Let's be fair. Atlanta's defense doesn't do him any favors when he faces offenses like the Packers and Giants. Also, most defenses (at least in the NFC) are pretty damn good at shutting down the run. Therefore, it all depends on Matt Ryan, and he's simply not that kind of QB. Not yet, anyway. Who knows if he will be.

Atlanta's making a good move in hiring Nolan. They've got to get some better secondary players, though. Ryan's just getting out-gunned in the playoffs. Plain and simple.

Seemingly strong move.

Mike Nolan....what does he know about defense. Hasn't he had like 3 jobs in the last 3 years?

The whole team seems to go into a shell come play-off time. Ryan holds the ball too long, Turner can't run for shit, and the WR's drop the ball even more than usual. The defense actually played better than expected, especially missing Grimes, but wore out in the end because they got zero help from the offense.

Shows how disorganized the Dolphins are. They were going to hold onto Nolan to see if the new coach wanted him. guess they couldn't do so any longer.

Has this been proved? What games did he throw?

He kept on starting Palko when pioli was telling him to start Orton. That to me is equivalent to throwing games.

Maybe the new Miami regime will shift to a 43, thus letting Soliai move on up to KC.



Saw on twitter today that the Saints likely won't be able to resign Carl Nicks.

Soliai and Nicks would make the Chiefs tons better.
