1. Ed Oliver Stitched Ryan Schraeder Jersey , perhaps the best player in college football, has been out with an injury since the Navy game, e.2. In Week 12, Oliver planned to send out against Tulane (another option-heavy team that often blocks low) and return the following week against Memphis, according to ESPN’s pregame broadcast.3. During the Tulane game Youth Ryan Schraeder Jersey , UH head coach Major Applewhite got into it with Oliver over the star DT wearing a, uh, jacket:4. Did social media spend the next couple hours going wild about how long Applewhite could hang in a fight with Oliver? Yes. And the answer is: not very long. Consideration was also given to how many jackets Oliver will soon be able to buy himself in order to wear whenever he wants. The answer there: quite a pile of them.5. Applewhite explained the situation:A trimmed version:Being cold is for suckers, no matter what the fake news thermometer says. Jacket technology was invented for a reason.More Applewhite, when asked about why Oliver didn’t come back onto the field for the second half:6. Oliver hasn’t commented publicly on the specific incident Stitched Andy Levitre Jersey , but did express some general team spirit on Twitter afterward.7. Is this probably nothing? Yeah, it’s probably nothing. People are still yelling at each other about whether Oliver should refuse to play over this or be suspended over this, and you’d think those people could find an easy middle ground between those two viewpoints. Maybe Oliver will just suit up against Memphis as planned? How does that sound? It seems that’s the only way to get to wear a jacket around here anyway.8. Is it wild that a jacket in 50-degree Houston became the talk of college football for an entire Thursday night? It is.9. Will an NFL Draft takesmith use this episode to argue Oliver shouldn’t be drafted by a cold-weather team? Absolutely. I’m sure that’s already happened. Per another source, the split was indeed mutual with no immediate plans for Pioli to work elsewhere." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteThe Falcoholican Atlanta Falcons communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsLibraryFalconsOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Library FalcFans Podcast on The FalcoholicContact The FalcoholicFalcons StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Falcons NewsYahoo Falcons Team PageYahoo Falcons ReportYahoo Falcons Depth ChartYahoo Falcons TransactionsYahoo Falcons PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Falcons unlikely to replace Scott Pioli with another assistant general managerNew,15commentsPer another source Youth Andy Levitre Jersey , the split was indeed mutual with no immediate plans for Pioli to work elsewhere.EDTShareTweetShareShareFalcons unlikely to replace Scott Pioli with another assistant general managerPhoto by Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagesWe were mildly surprised to see Scott Pioli leave the Falcons a few weeks after the NFL draft. He was not connected to any other team at any point in his time with the Falcons, so why now? Some guessed the Jets were interested but there’s no reason for Pioli to step down to interview. Did something go wrong? No, per an early report from Jeff Schultz of The Athletic. It seems hard to believe Pioli would step away from a team when he has been helping them find top players every single draft.Albert Breer of The Monday Morning Quarterback had some additional information on the split and the future of Pioli’s old position.Per Breer, Dimitroff and Pioli remain strong friends. They had discussed Pioli moving on in 2018, and he finally made the move now. Apparently they decided to go all-in on one last draft and free agency.Who is Pioli’s top replacement? No one.The Falcons will return to the old Stitched Jake Matthews Jersey , traditional system that struggled mightily at times. The same system also produced long-term NFL general managers like David Caldwell and Les Snead, and top players like Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.There’s no question that Pioli is a very talented evaluator and has been instrumental in one of Atlanta’s best draft stretches. He will definitely be missed at Flowery Branch but fans hope to keep up the same success without him. Per Breer, Pioli may turn into an analyst with the hope for a general manager job come January.
