Handicap

How little faith do the coordinators have in our defense without Davis and the offense without Turner and Williams?

The Falcons are down four pro bowl defenders and continue to be aggressive. We go down some guys and the coaches handicap us more than the guys missing do.

Playing nickel while the Falcons are running stretch after stretch. Playing base 4-3 and seeing Mayo try to cover anyone makes me chuckle. 

What I saw today takes me back to the 2011 Panthers starting Terrell McClain and Fua. 

Also, Sanu will be fined for the crackback block on Luke which came on a pivotal play of the game. The refs need to be reprimanded for not calling holding once on Atlanta given the number of Stretch runs the Falcons had.

We have always played soft coverage on the back end under Rivera and it's obvious at this point that we always will. We don't invest any resources into the secondary because we don't ask anything of them. We put all the pressure on the front seven and we spend all of our money there. The problem is that the Saints and Falcons built offenses specifically to exploit this. They focus on getting to the edges in the run game and getting the ball out quickly in the passing game to negate our pass rush and take advantage of DBs playing 10 yards off. Give them credit. We do what we've always done and they've adapted.

    • Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds. 
    • Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds. 
    • Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
