Do we come out running or passing on Sunday

I know the conventional wisdom is that we need to run the ball the whole game on Sunday. But if the Falcons know that too, what will keep them from loading 8 or 9 in the box on first and second down to stop us cold and force us to throw on third and long. Then they bring the blitz and it is welcome to last Sunday.

We know that Abraham rarely plays on first down so why not pass right away using smoke routes, slants, short passes, and high percentage completions. It will build Jake's confidence, lessen the liklihood of bltzing, and give us third and short where we were over 90% converting them last year.

I would like us to mix things up and pass on early downs so we don't get caught in third and long all the time. Otherwise if we get down a few scores early we will be throwing anyway but they will be piinning their ears back and blitzing on every down.

Anyone believe Davidson can devise a gameplan where we can confuse the Falcons and give us a chance to win?

And can we talk strategy and gameplanning instead of the same old Jake bashing or the FO sucks??

On one hand, this reminds me of that second game from I think 05 where we ran like 102 times and it was Wildcat, Wildcat, Wildcat.

The Falcons are saying they don't expect Jake to have another bad game. If I'm the Falcon's I expect alot of dinks and dunks, passes that are high % to get Jake in the flow and get his confidence going.

So expect some zone coverage and some man mixed in.

If I'm Carolina, I do a ton of misdirection and movement. Get Atl uncomfortable. Get them moving side to side to open them up some in the middle for the running game.

Carolina might have to use the pass to set up the run instead of the other way around.

punt on first down... they'll never see it coming and jake can't turn it over that way.

not positive about that.

I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you want to sell it!

I say we come out running and when the Falcons get into a rhythm after we move the ball into their territory we switch it up and run when Abraham is in and pass when he isn't.

Look for quick passes to beat the blitz, as they will blitz almost continuously until we punish them for it.

I realize Atlanta will be following the new modus operandi to beat the Panthers and stacking the box.

That being said, I have to think they don't risk any big throws on the first couple of series, at least. Think if Jake threw another bomb to Jake that was intercepted: it would destroy his confidence even further and lead to another series of mistakes throughout the game.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
