    I've come to terms with Morris being back. Blank is a great businessman but an absolute idiot where football is concerned. He loves Morris like a son and Morris can throw all the buzzwords out that makes Blanks little businessman heart flutter. Blank will look for any reason to retain Morris...

    Falcons win Monday was classic Falcons. Lose when it matters then win enough when it doesn't to convince the execs that no change needs to be made. It was one ugly win. Got gifted a 21 point lead on the back of one of Stafford's worst throws of the year and a defensive breakdown on Bijan's...

    McKay is safe as an infant in its mother's arms. Worst that happens is football decision making is taken away from him. There's so much going on with AMB Sports and Entertainment that Blank relies on McKay for. He won't be fired.

    The 49ers are why I reject the excuse some try to give for the Falcons failure this year. Some want to let Morris off the hook because the team has dealt with injuries, including an injury to the QB. We'll look at San Francisco, a competently coached team. They were able to adapt and overcome...

    I'd be surprised if something happened before New Years. The week between Christmas and New Years is traditional pretty slow.

    Not this past year. Fried's Whiff% was 26.6 which was 59th percentile. Suarez was 22.2 which is 24th percentile. Their K rates are similar but Fried gets more swings and misses. Overall they're not too dissimilar pitchers at this point in their careers. Both are guys that rely on inducing...

    At a reasonable contract I'd be okay with him but someone is going to give him more money than you can justify considering the risk level.

    He's among the worst in the league at getting swings and misses. So he's basically entirely reliant on inducing weak contact. If he's not able to hit his spots precisely or if his pitches lose some movement, he's not got much else. He could end up being effective into his 40s. It's just that...

    Suarez strikes me as someone the wheels could come off of very quickly. His fastball is bad and he doesn't miss any bats. He relies on not walking many and getting poor contact. He's not got a lot of margin of error. If his stuff or control declines at all and guys can square him up a little...

    Seager is the kind of difference maker you bet the farm on. I don't think they'll trade him but if they do we need to be all over it.

    Tankathon draft pick watch

    MLB draft is such a crapshoot it's often better to have more picks than super high picks. So getting the Drake pick was a bigger get than if we were picking five spots higher.

    This. The defense struggled early. But the young DBs have come on strong allowing Georgia to dial up the pressure. They had Simpson running for his life.

    Blaming Morris is like blaming a dog driving a car for rear ending you. Sure the dog screwed up but the dog should never have been there in the first place. The real problem is whoever let the dog drive. Morris should never have been hired. He's nowhere near competent enough to do the job and...
