T.J. Yates Named Atlanta Falcons Quarterbacks Coach

DF1972
It’s unclear who the quarterback will be in Atlanta this season, but we know who their position coach will be. Former UNC and NFL quarterback T.J. Yates will handle that role. Yates played for the Texans, Falcons, Dolphins, and Bills before moving into coaching with the Texans in 2019. He has been the Falcons' wide receivers coach the last two seasons. (NBC Sports)

This team is SPECIAL

gdean44
That's not any earth shattering news, but this is a special team. Just a reminder that we should be enjoying the journey. Special teams do NOT always win national championships; sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. We've had plenty of special teams that didn't win national championships. This team will win a LOT of games though and we should enjoy this season while it's being played. Enjoy every game because this team is SO FUN TO WATCH!!! They love playing, they love playing together, and I LOVE WATCHING THEM PLAY TOGETHER!

Discussion
UNC traveled to Tallahassee to face a revenge-minded FSU team and game away with its guttiest win of the season.

It was a bad day for offense, as UNC mustered only 0.87 pts/poss while FSU got only 0.83. UNC shot from 3 well, not so great from inside (43%), but turned the ball over in a horrible way. UNC turned it over on 32% of its first-half possessions, but played a much cleaner second half to bring that total to 20%. UNC has had 186 sloppier games in the last 1010, but to give you an idea about how bad 32% is: UNC has only had one slopper entire game than 32% LOB. It was the 2022 29-point home loss to Duke. That is how poorly the team played offense in the first half.

Historically there were few standout stats. FSU's 45% free-throw shooting was the 61st-worst FT shooting display by an opponent in the last 1011 games.

We saw some really excellent play from Elliot Cadeau overall. He is looking for dribble penetration far more, and beating defenders with his dribble. While we want to take what teams will give us, it still isn't sustainable to be getting an assist on only 46% of our possessions. Defensively he is doing pretty well in the halfcourt set, but gets in trouble when there is chaos (loose balls, midcourt turnovers, etc). While I believe RJ Davis should be in the very short list of National Player of the Year candidates, Cadeau is the player that is the most important difference between this team being a classic bubble team and being a Final Four contender. He's made some great progress this month, and that should be duly noted by everyone!

On the season, this team is scoring 0.99 points per possession, more than a standard deviation higher than the program average. Defensively they are holding teams at 0.845, right at the 0.844 program average. This is an excellent mark, and is the best defensive number since the 2014 era. We should temper that enthusiasm, however, as 7 of the last 9 opponents have been so poor.

This team is now forcing turnovers on 14.1% of their opponents' possessions; 1 standard deviation below program average. The defensive profile is very similar to the 2000 team.

Overall, however, this team's provile is most closely-aligned with the 1989 team. More on that later.

Next up is a Tuesday matchup at GT, a team that is better than their record. Atlanta has been a house of horrors in basketball and football so many times, nothing is a given. Trap game? Definitely. Gotta stay focused on beating the Jackets.

Bacot

I
Bacot has changed this season, or should I say bought in a little more in my opinion. He wasn’t really targeted tonight against Wake. Someone with more basketball IQ can probably explain why but I’m sure it had to do mostly the D they were running and RJ got hot. If this were earlier in the year he wouldn’t have handled this game too well I don’t think. Tonight I thought he stayed engaged and active (like he has over this run). He played great D. How many seal/pin down blocks on the defender did he have to allow an easy baskets? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen guards consistently just walk in for layups. EC’s speed and spacing have a lot to do with that but Bacot has been a big helper.
