freebird587 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 i think our d has looked very good to this point, they are young ,hungry,& have pride....so could this be the start of a dominating defence to go along with an offence that can score alot of points....im more excited about our d than our o right now....anyone agree?

blackredfellow Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I hate to make assumptions based on the pre-season, but if the D continues to play like this, they are gonna be tough. I am most anxious to see if Grimes can keep up at his current level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird587 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 not to mention loften is always around the ball....van gorder has this d swarming like he used to at ga(dont flame me for the ga reference)but these guys look like they just get it & know how to play their positions & what defence means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripedss Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Sounds like a couple of 12 year olds in this thread. This team is gonna be awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The Falcons are playing hungry and dare I say it..............COACHED!!!!!! ITs amazing when you have a Defense, offense and special teams on the same page. Even though we are young, even though we are unproven, I am genuinely excited for a change. I don't think we will be out coached, out hussled or not motivated to hit someone in the grill. We may not be the best team on the field, but the other team will know the meaning of war when we are done with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am most anxious to see if Grimes can keep up at his current level.I kind of agree with you. But in the modern day NFL there is a lot to learn about a team in the pre-season. Our pre-season is virtually saying that we are going to be a better team than everyone anticipated. We may even have a chance of going .500 The passion on the boards is good.

Trouble Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I don't think its a question of "if" ryan is the future. But more of "when". Looks like he is gonna grow up fast and looks like he is ready to. The O is only gonna get better. As ryan and company get timing routes down, then the O can really start to take off. Those routes are what made payton famous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
