Official Game Day Thread- Week 7....Falcons @ Pats

[farn]

No Roberts. Harris in...

With ATL’s passing attack, is it possible it’s just lotsa DBs ? Even more than usual ?

Chung playing LB?

I think as long as it's not Roberts or Richards, we'll see an immediate improvement!!!

Nope. It's Gronk. The secondary will be allowed to clutch grab and hold him all day long and if he so much grazes one of the Falcons' players or knocks their hands awayhe will be called for PI. Gronk is too much better than everyone else. It wouldn't be fair for him other players not be allowed to cheat when covering him.

Remember the SuperBowl? Twenty eighth (or was it 26th?) ranked defense in the league. Outside of Vic Beasley they have nothing. What their secondary lacks in talent they make up for with clutching, grabbing pulling and hugging. Expect more of the same. Like the game against Carolina's secondary. The refs aren't going to call all of them. Just wrap those Pats WRs up. You will get way with it more often than not. Even sometimes when the official is staring right at the play. That's their defensive gameplan tonight. Especially on Gronk.

I am more concerned with their running attack than their passing game tbh. Julio and the TE will get their yards and maybe scores but how we handle their running game will make or break the game. Well and turnovers, obviously...

 

[QB12]

Exactly. Butler, Bademosi, McCourty, Harmon, Chung, Brandon King, Ebner, Matthews.

Would make sense in this game.

 

[FCB02062]

Too many Atlanta fans here... Chanting "ATL, ATL, ATL"...and something about rise up or something

 

[raduray]

Too many Peyton commercials. I know we're already there, but when will the rest of the nation be overdosed?

They both had solid games in the box.
Richards likely to start again in run D.
Better cheer for him as well..

No he plays safety.

He would only be in for dime packages.

Cyrus jones really missed out on a great opportunity with his injury.

 

[VegasGuy]

No he plays safety.

I know that but with Harris not being able to cover anyone could they move him up to lb for coverage against backs etc.

 

[Ring 6]

5 RBs 4 Wr 3 TE active. interesting

That's not moving him to LB that's playing nickel or dime. There is a big difference.
Nickel is our base. Hopefully dime is reserved for 3rd and long.

Run the rock. Punish the small/speedy LBs. Play keep away. Protect the D?
