We ask: Are the Falcons a brand new team because of their brand new coach? The answer: No, but also yes. Meaning: “Kind of.”
Dan Quinn isn’t saying anything Mike Smith didn’t say in any of his seven seasons here. The stuff about “finishing,” about “playing fast,” about “being the aggressor” – that’s the football equivalent of a Tea Party candidate avowing he/she favors lower taxes. For a football coach, “finishing” is boilerplate stuff.
