Mayo, moving chains, and Lance Taylor

Three thoughts based on observations 

1.  It’s pretty clear the Falcons were working on Mayo. Trying to make a MLB be an OLB is not working.  He is too slow. It also seemed that wherever  Butler was is where the run plays were going   The Panthers had no answers.    I am not sure Eric Washington has any business being the DC

2.  There was a pivotal time period yesterday  with under 4 mins in the half, knowing full well that Atlanta would get the ball first in the second half , why god only knows  that the Panthers chose that time to waste a down and throw long into double coverage   If ever there was a time in that game that they needed to run, move chains,  and grind clock and get points it was then particularly as that defense had already demonstrated they  could not stop Atlanta   Situational awareness, poor 

Want to stop Atlanta, keep their offense on the bench   Very little running in that game yesterday even after it was proven that Falcons were soft up the middle 

3  Lance Taylor needs to be accountable for the poor performance of the receivers  what is this, year two or three with the guy.  It isn’t working

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
