Wow Dwill and Tolbert are gonna run wild

[The Huddler]

Definatly get Dwill the ball. Just pound that thing. We need to do a better job at running it. I swear if we could just Get a consistant run game We'd be golden.

Good news for our clock controlling offense.

Now lets just hope Weatherspoon takes the rest of the year off.

You'd think with a bummed knee, Atlanta wouldn't want to risk having anything else happen and just start looking towards next year.

Every time we think we are going to run wild on a team we end up with like 14 yards rushing.  I'll believe it when I see it.

I remember an article over the summer mentioning that the Falcons D-line was their weakest position and absolutely no depth, so an injury would be devastating.

Any team's loss of a DT is killer for its run-stop defense.  But the other team's passing offense also benefits.  Face it, our patchwork offensive line has been less than stellar essentially the entire season.  Giving Kalil, Wharton, and Chandler a defensive line that is down a man helps pass protection, allowing for deeper routes to develop and giving Cam a cleaner pocket to throw out of.

I want to see a healthy dose of Barner. I want DLo and Tolbert as fresh as possible for the post season.  I'm not even going to mentiobn Stewart.

[Jmac]

Only thing I am worried about..every time it looks like a team is primed for us to run over them.....we go for fifty yards a game. The teams who are supposed to be stout on the run...we run on.

[ctrcat]

Boo hoo. Run it up their @$$. Would have said the same thing anyway.

[osd22]

I wish him all the best.

It's happening. Everything is coming together for us out of random chance. The Falcons are now further decimated by injury, and things are going our way. Hopefully Stewart will be back in action and we can get some of our money's worth out of him.

 

And how about that Falcon WR getting body slammed and injured last night. Will he be out with a strained labia? I love this season.
