We better hope our pass rush is up to speed

I have a sneaking suspicion that Fox and Trgo will come up with a little something that they haven't seen yet. They already gave our opponents something to think about when they had Peppers coming from every angle in the Saints game.

Of course, they were probably just trying to cover up our weakness at DT, since both of our starters were out, but that doesn't mean they won't do it when Kemo and D-Lew come back either.

That was not a resurgent running game. Atlanta was not focused on stopping it at all.

They will not run for 40 yds against us.

I'm with you.

We shouldn't worry about James being able to get 70 yards on 16 carries as much as the Cardinals should be worried about DeAngelo getting 120 yards on 15 carries :P

Agree that pass rush is a key, though. We saw towards the end of the season Peppers moving around more, playing both sides of the line. They'll have some stunts trying to get Peppers 1 on 1.

I don't recall the Falcons getting anywhere near Warner. Their O-Line did a great job. The home crowd may have had something to do with that, pumping them up and all, but our front four isn't any better than Atlanta's. Hopefully OUR crowd will pump our guys up and we'll see them play lights out. But to be fair, I wouldn't expect anything outrageous or anything more than what we've seen all year.

Fox dose seem to turn it up in the Playoffs and some of the conservitve play goes out the door. Warner has one of the quickest releases I have seen so its gonna be about coverage just as much as pass rush. Losing Bolden is big though.

    • I knew very little about this player before we drafted him. When I read scouting reports about him I understood the pick and thought it made sense as a late round receiver with speed and special teams ability but after watching him more closely and now adding his interviews into the equation I'm actually really excited about him. I know it's just RMC but I noticed him running his routes with this extra step that really stood out to me during the general video posted earlier without realizing who it was doing that.  His speed in his first cut is just on another level and it's visible. When I saw it I was **** whoa, who was that?! Then I saw Horn JR. and my first thought was oh it's him. I think it's very possible that he was under appreciated going into the draft due to his height and stats because he played at Colorado where the attention was on 2 other players but I think this dude's ceiling is way higher than most think it is. Especially after watching his interview. He looks hungry. I may have found my fav rook for this year's pre-season. I like pulling for underdogs anyway and as someone who played on the small side myself it just gives me more reason to cheer for him. The competition at WR looks like it's going to be fierce this season. I honestly can remember any preseason where I looked at out wr group and got past 3 players who I thought were interesting but this season I'm interested in at least 5 who have my attention going into the season. 
    • Wilson should be getting called for at least 3 penalties a night even in the post season. How does he not lead the NHL in PM???
