defensive game plan vs ATL

What kind of strategy do you think Rivera & McDermott take into Atlanta this weekend?

Atlanta's offense:

QB- Ryan doesn't have arm strength or the ability to beat anyone downfield unless the coverage is absolutely blown.

RB- Turner has struggled this season, but is a good back & usually kills us.

OL- Sucks.

WR- White & Gonzalez are dangerous, but Jones is out.

I'm not worried about White. We've seen this year that Gamble is still a solid #1 CB & he will hold his on against ATL's top WR. Gonzalez could be a problem for us if Ryan has time to pass. Butler & Munnerlyn don't have the size to defend him so it'll be up to Godfrey. I'm not too confident in our run D, but ATL's o-line is so horrible you can't help but be optimistic.

Hopefully the D can keep Turner neutralized early on so that Cam & the offense can build a lead. If that happens ATL will have to play catch up & Johnson & the D can pin their ears back & bull rush/blitz the hell out of Ryan. His OL won't be able to protect him & we'll destroy ATL on the scoreboard.

I like sweaty balls on my chin. Also, I just pooped my pants.

White won't stay dormant for long.

Only thing I can say is if you think you have a chance, your D-Line better show up Sunday. If they don't, well we will take this game. :D

Cam Newton > Matt Ryan

89 > White AND Jones

Williams/Stewart > Turner

our 2nd string OL > ATL's OL

Shockey/Olsen > Gonzalez

You better hope they don't. ATL will need all the points they can get to keep up with the ass whooping their D is gonna take.

ryan has been mediocre the last couple of games but underestimating him is nothing short of foolhardy. i hope the team is taking him more seriously than most of the posters on here who've written him off.

our defense is leaky and our best shot at stopping them is getting quick pressure on ryan and hitting him as much as possible. CJ had better have a hell of a game.

Watching the game right now.

We have got to get more interior pressure from our two DT's. In fairness, New Orlean's 3 interior offensive linemen are very good, while their two tackles, for lack of a better term-suck

Notice we keep moving Greg Hardy inside, which I'm not sure how I feel about.

On the plus side, Atlanta's interior offensive linemen are no where near as good as New Orleans, Atlanta's running game is much more north than east/west, which will be advantageous to Dan Connor, annnnd just to top it off our two rookies will have another week of experience under their belt. Ron Fields has been playing well, also.

Stop Turner, make Ryan throw? That seems like the answer if our offense is able to produce again. Hopefully Gaither plays, honestly he might be a better fit at MLB than Connor, but our LB group has done a lot of rotating around.

I expected our LB corps to be in worse shape than it is after Beason and TD went out, but to the credit of the players and coaches this group seems to rank somewhere in the middle.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
