texfalcfan Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 i really like the way our d is playing right now. the colts are going to test our d like no team has. we will have to stop addai and wayne(maybe harrison). they are very banged up right now so that is a plus for us i have confidense in dhall and houston they are playing friggin great.we may be able to get to manning via abraham and some special zimmer schemes.i just hope we can come out of the tampa game healthy(and a win of course )i praying we have a healthy bl and noorwood (real fresh) for indy because the team will have a very short week for rest.sorry for the novel go falcons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GADirtyBird Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 if harrison is still out for this game, i think hall and houston can cover there other wrs. the key in this game is we have to score first, that way we can try and take the colts out of their run game, and put the whole game on manning(which still is not going to be a cakewalk, even without a running game) it's gonna be tough, but it can be done.

Nighteyes Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 and maybe freeney is out of that game too if not the falcons will have to rely on the freeney wide pass rush on the run plays and capitalize like the pats did on the wide rush by mathis and freeney they open up big holes for the running backs but the rest of the d is fast too but still i will help on the running game tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MondayNightRedman Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 i definitely think we can take advantage of the wide pass rush, we run the draw alot anyways and if the tackles can push the ends by norwood and dunn are fast enough to gash the **** out of the colts defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 let's not forget about special teams guys. there st haven't been good since last year, let's hope that norwood will return one all the way against them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_big_pants Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 you guys are something else. i like the optimism...but i wouldn't bet any money on the falcons and we'll probably have a double digit spread.we managed to contain two of the worst offenses and effectively "shut down" alex smith and a guy that was drafted literally 2 decades ago.needless to say there is a little difference between the qb we'll be seeing on thanksgiving and those 2 knuckleheads.the teams we just played basically had no running game and no passing game.i like the optimism but don't get carried away.
