Falcons have nothing to lose in coaching-staff shakeup

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Most of the talk around the Atlanta Falcons this week has focused on coach Dan Quinn switching wide receivers coach Raheem Morris -- who is also the assistant head coach -- to the defense to work with a struggling secondary.

Will the move save Quinn's job and the Falcons' season? It's a long shot, yet undoubtedly worth a try.

Morris' energy is infectious. Those who have followed the team the last few years are familiar with the enthusiasm he instills in the players and the intelligence he brings. He also offers 14 years of experience coaching defensive backs at the college and NFL levels.
