july425 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 center mcclure's five keys to victory vs. 49ersby steve wychethe atlanta journal-constitutionpublished on: 11/04/07falcons center todd mcclure has been the most consistent offensive lineman this season. he gives us his five keys for atlanta's game today.score touchdowns in the red zoneit's been haunting us all year. we've been getting field-goal opportunities. we need to get touchdowns. it comes down to execution. you watch it and it might just be one guy breaking down. it might be guys running wide open on a pass but the quarterback doesn't have time to get it out. it might be that we block it well and the running back doesn't hit it right. any number of things. we've got to concentrate more and execute when we get down there.pick up all their exotic looks on third downthey'll try and throw some stuff at you to confuse you. we've been working hard at that this week. as long as we're all on the same page with the back in our protection, we should be able to make some big plays.make it countspecial teams, we need some good field position and get some points.get the running game goingif we can get it going early, which i think we'll be able to this week, that will help us out with our passing game.sack and pressure the quarterbackdefensively, those guys need to get to the quarterback. we need to try and hit him 12 times to get pressure on him and make him feel pressure. john abraham, if he's on his a game, he'll provide at least half of those hits.

drk_nte Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 1 - the rt needs to block somebody2 - the rg needs to block somebody3 - the c needs to block somebody4 - the lg needs to block somebody5 - the lt needs to block somebodyif those 5 things happen consistently, the offense will move the ball past the opponents 40, we'll get more scoring opportunities that aren't 40+ fgs, which mean the defense won't be as tired and won't have given up by the 4th quarter. seems simple enough, i mean these guys are making 6 figures to do this.

BlacksburgHokie Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 1 - the rt needs to block somebody2 - the rg needs to block somebody3 - the c needs to block somebody4 - the lg needs to block somebody5 - the lt needs to block somebodyif those 5 things happen consistently, the offense will move the ball past the opponents 40, we'll get more scoring opportunities that aren't 40+ fgs, which mean the defense won't be as tired and won't have given up by the 4th quarter. seems simple enough, i mean these guys are making 6 figures to do this.according to football outsiders, we rank last in the nfl in runs stuffed (aka, when the running back gets stopped behind the line of scrimmage). almost one out of every three of our run plays this season have been stopped for a loss or for no gain. also, we rank 28th in the league in sacks.if you are looking for a reason why we are 1-6 right now, i think that's a pretty good place to start...another fact:we are the worst team in gaining yards up the middle on runs (an aweful 2.9 yards per attempt). in fact, we are more than half a yard below the second place team (kc - 3.46). we rank 27th in runs off right tackle, and 25th in runs to the left end. we have a decent average off left tackle with a 7th ranking, as well as 8th ranking in runs off right end. this would be okay except for the fact that 55% of our runs go up the middle.
