EDTShareTweetShareShareFalcons make front office moves, will not fill Scott Pioli’s assistant GM role Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsThe Atlanta Falcons are making some changes to their front office in wake of Scott Pioli’s departure. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reports that GM Thomas Dimitrof will return to a more traditional structure on his side of the organization, with director of college scouting Steve Sabo being promoted to the director of player personnel role (Dimitroff’s second-in-command). Florio says regional scout Anthony Robinson is being elevated to replace Sabo in his old post, on top of the previously-known promotion for Shepley Heard, the new director for pro scouting. The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz noted the incoming changes himself and said the team will confirm the front office moves here shortly, The moves are what they are. We don’t exactly know how they’ll go or what the day-to-day changes will be for the front office, but losing Pioli definitely is a negative for the team. Head honcho Dave Choate broke down the ramifications of what his departure means for the team, and I encourage you to give that a read. They’ll live to fly another day Black Calvin Ridley Jersey , but do know that a lot of the draft success in recent years is partially due to what Pioli brought to the table. It’ll be vital for this team to continue to draft well and be wise in their free agent acquisitions. We’ll see if the changes made allow them to put their best foot forward for that all-encompassing goal.Dan Quinn addresses the heavy topics of Deion Jones and Keanu Neal’s injuries Wednesday Here are some key takeaways and worthwhile comments from this Wednesday’s Dan Quinn press conference. As you’d expect, he ended up talking a lot about injuries and the offense. How the Falcons will weather injuriesAgainst Carolina, Atlanta’s job certainly got much more difficult with injuries to Deion Jones and Keanu Neal. Dan Quinn (and the team’s recently released depth chart) confirmed that Duke Riley will be at middle linebacker and Damontae Kazee will start at safety, which is more or less what we all expected. The hard part is dealing with this offense. Christian McCaffrey is fast and difficult to bring down, and Cam Newton is always a load to deal with for this light and quick Falcons defense. Without two of their better tacklers, the Falcons more or less have to trust their very strong secondary to cover Carolina’s lackluster passing game options and focus on stopping those two players. We’ll find out quickly enough if Kazee, Ricardo Allen, Foye Oluokun and Duke Riley are capable of doing so. Devonta Freeman “day-to-day” As anticipated, Freeman’s sitting out practice today. We’ve heard this one before. Freeman’s injury status has been a source of speculation all week Black Takkarist McKinley Jersey , and at this point, I’m not going to count on him playing Sunday against the Panthers. If that’s the case, I’d expect Tevin Coleman to absolutely dominate touches, with Ito Smith picking up some early down and third down work in relief, and Brian Hill working in short yardage and goal line situations if Coleman needs a breather. I’d be pleasantly surprised if the Falcons could bring Free to bear, but I’m definitely not counting on it. Re-affirms support for Sark It’s possible that the Falcons will abandon Sark and quietly replace him with Greg Knapp at some point this season. I’m not going to rule that out, but I am going to say that Dan Quinn has been adamant that he was happy with the play calling against the Eagles, and he reiterated that on Wednesday.There are two layers here. The first is that Quinn is hanging a lot at the feet of the players, which seems pretty justified after Matt Ryan had a nuclear meltdown against the Eagles and the offense struggled so mightily. That does ignore Sark’s miscues Takkarist McKinley Jersey 2019 , especially on that final series of the game, but it’s not super surprising to hear him gloss over that at the moment. The problem will be if Ryan’s much better this week, the offense looks springier in general, and bad play calls cost this team again. The second takeaway is that DQ is taking a bit of a shot at Sark, after all, by talking about balance. The Falcons were anything but against the Eagles, choosing to run the ball way too infrequently in a close game and airing it out with a clearly shaky Ryan instead. That’ll have to change going forward, even if Freeman’s out.
