My oldest son's favourite team is the Falcons and it was crushing to see my 11 year old son go to his room after the game and put his head under the covers.
That's no alot of fun for a father who enjoys watching football games with his boys. My other son is a Seahawks fan.
As for the game, I'm not sure if Jones is understanding the importance of the games he is in. There seems to be a lack of intensity on his running, especially when the play is stuffed.
I like how BP is using this situation with Jones and Barber though. In the 4th when the defence is tired he brings on a heavy dose of Barber who must demoralize the defence with his fresh and harder running legs.
Can't for the life of me understand how we are not able to cover a FB. Is our coverage schemes so complex that the LBs are unable to coordiante who has the right flat and who covers the left flat?
Lastly, do you get the feeling that the opposing OCs are determined to have their QBs throw down the field once they see the last names on the jerseys of our DBs be it Newman, Henry, Williams or Watkins/Davis?
Is Zimmer more than willing to take his chances with deep shots as opposed to giving up the middle of the field by keeping one of his safeties back deep?
It seems to be a departure from the old bend, but don't break defence of the Campo days.
Despite my son's feelings, this was a less than satisfying win and I still have a queasy feeling about the team.
