A story in Monday's Atlanta Journal Constitution with the headline: "Falcons No Huddle Attack Unstoppable" is taped on walls outside the locker room at Valley Ranch. There are even some signs near the shower area.

The Falcons used the no huddle to complete two scoring drives in their Monday night victory over the Bears.

Coach Wade Phillips was asked about the signs and didn't offer any insight.

Here's the Q & A:

Reporter: Why did you, or I don't know if it was you; Why are there signs up in the locker room about the Falcons hurry up offense?

Phillips: "Um, well, I don't know if it was me or not."

Long pause

Phillips: "You mean, about being unstoppable?"

Reporter: Yeah.

Phillips: "I dont know why. I don't know who put that up there. I kinda know the reason."

Reporter: "And that is?"

Phillips: "I know the reason, you can figure it out, I think. I think."

:laugh2:

So was it Wade or not?

:bang2:

GAC said it was Wade and he was just playing like he didn't know at the PC.

GAC said it was Wade and he was just playing like he didn't know at the PC.

That will be giving Wade some credit. Can you go listen to some more radio shows and come back with an alternative............. Please

Hahaha, what a response. Sounds like the most awkward conversation in the history of sports.

Wade doesn't have the creativity or balls to motivate.

So then why didn't he come out and say, 'yeah it was me'?

Why would he not take credit for it?

Why be cute about it?

That's not Wade's M.O. to put signs up?

But I do know some coaches, past and present, that did/do this sort of thing, lol.

 

[Hoofbite]

Could it be? Could Wade muster up such a move?

Wade doesn't take credit, only blame.

Because he has no ego. He doesn't need credit for it.

There is more to some people than meets the eye (or ear, for that matter).

Are you implying that Parcells snuck into Valley Ranch to put up the signs?


Seriously, which present coach are so insidiously referring to?

 

[craig71]

Campo was big on signs but I would bet on Brooking trying to motivate this team before anyone on the staff.

Craig

You're right. That's why I have to hear from him that he's been coaching for 33 years every other day.

And why I heard about 'his' team holding the record for wins in a season.

And why we all know that he took over the defense at the end of last season when they started playing better.

And...

Think before you speak.

 

[Beast_from_East]

This does not sound like Wade at all, trying to actually motivate the team.

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

well im not going to look at this as anythin other then a positive

gla to see hes trying to keep guys motivated

 

[Chocolate Lab]

He says those things just to hiss you off.

And I'm surprised anyone is surprised at the sign thing. Every coach does this. The practice has only been around, oh, forever.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I just heard Galloway mention it on ESPN Radio. It was just a blurb and I didn't catch it all. Apparently a sign read "Unstoppable" at Valley Ranch and Wade took it down so the media wouldn't see it? What's up with this? I'm just wondering what the full story is.

I dont know but I heard that Wade is doing the next commercial for droiddoes


iDont coach well

iDont fix the defense

iDont have control of players

iDont hate losing - it just happens

iDont why ya'll brought me here

 

[superpunk]

I mean, I hate Wade and everything - but some of you guys are just silly.

Even Wade does things right sometimes. Give credit where credit is due. Ridiculous thread is ridiculous.

 

[dogunwo]

So was it Wade or not?

:bang2:

Why does that matter so much? Sheesh. You might want to cover up some more, your agenda is showing.

 

[Kilyin]

iDont why ya'll brought me here

Or in your case....

iDont know why I post stupid crap all the time.

 

[jterrell]

very nicely done in any case.

we needed to buckle down in key situations and the falcons(ajc) providing a little fuel to fire is a great thing.

wade's defensive players have always enjoyed playing for him and felt he got a lot out of them. it's really a shame that we have so many brain dead fans who wants to judge our coach based on press conferences he would rather not even hold.

that q and a sounded exactly like belichek... boring to the point snoring.
