The dreaded pass rush.. oooohh...

The Falcons were so worried after last weeks protection breakdowns that they rolled Vick out constantly against the Steelers.

So my guess is, the Giants didn't suddenly get so good. Atlanta has gotten worse. Strahan has not been better since he lost all that weight. He just got his first sack. He's now playing strong side end at under 260. That should bode well for Columbo and the running game.

Osi has always gotten maybe one sack against Flozell in a game. But really, who hasn't? The Hotel is always good for one wif a game.

Last year was an aberration. Tucker and Pettiti aren't here anymore.
Heck, the Buc's started two rookies on the Oline against the Eagles yesterday and Tucker couldn't even get on the field.

Don't be surprised if Bledsoe goes down maybe twice.

Yes, Tucker and Pettiti aren't here any more, but that's Adams and Columbo out there and they still have much to prove. This game will hinge, allmost entirely, on them - and more-so on Adams.

Columbo is a nice story and has played well, but I don't expect him to handle Strahan one-on-one. So we'll end up rolling TE blocking help his way, which will help us solidify the right side. But the only way to maintain overall protection under that scenario is for Flozell Adams to hold his own, playing one-on-one on the left side - Bledsoe's blind side. If Adams breaks down, so will Dalas' overall offense, and the result will be a painful loss.
