Not going to be an easy game any means, but if we can keep Julio Jones under control.

It seems like they are on a Superbowl hangover. It won't be easy but I think they are playing like they are wounded right now and the Boys need to take advantage of that!!!!

 

[pugilist]

on offense: stick to the gameplan (ball control, high % pass plays, keep opponent's offense off the field)

on defense: blitz the ever loving hell out of Ryan and play zone behind it.

We'll get their best. Just like most teams when they play us. Dallas never catches a team asleep.

Losing their Offensive Coordinator has really set the Falcons back.

One thing for sure is Julio doesn’t have the numbers he normally does. Of course, that’s not to say it will be easy to contain him.

I really hope Dak is on point in the short yardage pass game. Need him on 3rd down to extend drives and keep that offense off the field.

Famous last words, but they don't look much like a good team to me.

Our front four has been getting pressure with just a few blitzes sprinkled in, mainly when we have opponents down and know they are going to have to pass. I'd prefer we continue that until teams show they can regularly stop Lawrence and Irving.

I just feel like that Falcons offense can break out any minute.

Hopefully it's after Sunday.

From what I read, Ryan really struggles with a pass rush in his face.

Need Irving & Collins to have a huge game.

We will beat them down if we have all our players available. They are not very good and should have lost to Detroit also.

but we haven't played an offensive juggernaut like the Falcons yet. Yes, they are having a down season so far, but the pieces (players) are still there

I do not wish to let Ryan get comfortable in the pocket early in the game while Rod plays that soft zone crap rushing only 3-4

I don't think it's smart to send extra rushers if the front four is getting the job done, other than on an occasional blitz. We don't have to get creative if Lawrence, Irving and Co. are getting consistent pressure. I'm all for being creative with the scheme if that doesn't work, but blitzing can get you into just as much trouble as it can get you out of.
