Tony Gonzalez?

[CheerforTom]

I forgot he was even on Atlanta until he caught his first pass most of the way through the game. Did we get really excellent coverage on him or was he not getting many looks by Ryan?

I know Falcons fans are furious about their playcalling, but I also know this defense has shut down big receivers very well.

It has an article by Reiss explaining that McGowan shut him down (with much double team help all game).

I think we have to look at McGowan for what he really is: a great coverage ILB.

I'm being facetious, but seriously. This guy has the goods to become as important to this team as Mayo (and the D is good without him in? goody goody goody!).

I think McGowan and Meriweather could become the next exciting safety tandem in the NFL. Sanders is great too (I like his "go unnoticed" style of play, personally).

Now if Chung emerges, oh buddies...

We haven't had a great coverage ILB since... Roman Phifer. Coincidentally, we haven't won a ring since he left and have let TE's kill us over the middle of the field.

What a great story McGowan is...........He caused the Turner fumble with his hit.He was kind of used as a hybrid/SS/Lb,today.....................he must be pretty smart to pull this off.When players come to this team,BB says that the best guys play......doesn't matter if your a high draft pick or a FA.

Guyton,McGowan,Pryor,Edelman and Butler.......It must be very exciting for them,....In my own way,I feel very proud to watch their development.
