(We still have some work to do)But having 100+ tackles in consecutive seasons is pretty nasty. It's even better when he's paired with another 100+ tackle guy in Beason.

Norwood led the league in YPC for a 2nd straight year for RBs. While i like Dunn it was clear he had lost a couple steps.You ran for 95.0 yards per game - 26th in the league. (which outdistanced us by 3.4 ypg). I admit that our o-line was poor in run-blocking - you probably won't find a Saints' fan that disagrees. Is your 3.4ypg average the difference between a good run blocking line and a bad run-blocking line? My line is "as bad as I think." Your line is also "as bad as I think."Norwood has a great deal of talent, but his sample size is too small. He rushed 103 times last year - 47 running backs had more rushing attempts. I said it last year and I'll say it this year - his stats are an aberration. As he gets more carries, his YPC will drop...drastically. This is, of course, assuming that he gets more carries than the 6.9 a game he got last year or the 7.1 a game he got his rookie year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no QB threat all year really even though Redman caught on at the end. Dunn has lost a couple steps. Predictable playcalling. It's not as bad as you think. Stats don't tell the whole story.

Stats don't tell the whole story.You're more rational than this. This is an exact replica of the "Vick is an awesome QB" thread. -The o-line was the problem-Knapp's playcalling was the problem-The wide receivers are the problemYou had Wayne Gandy starting on your line. Feel free to tell me how awesome Wayne Gandy was. I realize the guy is gone - but he started for your line last year. If he was your number 1 guard, that doesn't speak too well for your depth. O-line (like every position) is about quality starters and quality depth. If Wayne Gandy is starting, both starter and depth are highly questionable. You had some bright spots last year, but your o-line play wasn't consistently one of them. You need to upgrade your o-line. That is all. You have not had a legitimate passing threat in years. It could be argued that this was the best aerial year the Falcons have had in almost a decade. You can find ways to statistically prove I am wrong - but stats don't tell the whole story.

brendyne Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 But seriously, L. Johnson is a good pickup for them, he is a pretty solid tackler, problem is he played on a really poor defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
