Falcons game will shows how we fair in playoffs

[Ja Rhule]

It’s almost a guarantee that Falcons will put 9 in the box to stop our run game and force us to beat them through the air.  If our offense falls flat, expect our playoff opponent to do exactly the same thing.

no.

the reason the run game has improved has a lot to do with the emergence of funchess and olsen's return. they have to be accounted for. that's why the passing game seems to have disappeared.

no defense is going sell out to stop the run and let either of them run free.

stop the run, contain cam, double olsen, amirite?

If they keep running JStew up the gut it will be a long day for us in the running game unless CMC gets to run wild also. With Olsen and Kalil back it should help a lot.

It’s fare. How you fare in the playoffs. I’m not trying to be unfair about how you fare when you go to the fair. Ffs

We're going to see an new running scheme that will post 200 yards and open up the passing game. It's just time for shula to use CMC/CAP to change the pace of a grinding traditional running game.

There is no way we return to the offense we put up against the Bucs/Bears/Saints. It's ball control and smash mouth balling, it's what we do...and in the second half Cam will have his opportunity to throw with ease.

This is the game we strike fear in the rest of the playoff teams, a game that works on the road. Our defense will be rested due to the run game and will keep ATL under 10...

 

Or not...
