How much stock should we put into the team's performance under Raheem Morris?
Tabeek: A ton. I think too many people are focusing on the Atlanta Falcons' overall record right now, which is 3-6, as opposed to what they have done since Raheem Morris took over the day after losing to Carolina on Oct. 11.
Since that day, the Falcons are 3-1 and are one Todd Gurley misstep from being 4-0 (although Morris later took full responsibility for it). That's pretty remarkable, especially when you consider that Morris is getting it done with virtually the same coaching staff and roster.
Not everything is the same, however. One of the first things Morris did was shake up the coaching staff. Morris made Jeff Ulbrich the defensive coordinator, Bernie Parmalee took over as special teams coordinator and Will Harriger now coaches the running backs. Morris also parted ways with Ben Kotwica, the former special teams coordinator.
The players have also noticed and reacted. As edge rusher Dante Fowler put it, "Raheem's just doing it his way a little bit, adding his spice little spice to it and things like that." Fowler also noted that Morris was "making us a little bit uncomfortable and making us be able to practice really well in practice."
Morris also moved swiftly with former first-round pick Takk McKinley, too, who criticized the team on Twitter following the trade deadline. Six days later, the Falcons released McKinley.
In short, Morris is doing more with less – and it's been effective through four games.
