Jedi-Falcon Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 That's a lot of points to allow and expect to Win the game. Other than Abraham we have no pass rush, and our Run-D looked really soft. I got tired of seeing our Safeties have to tackle the RB.Our Secondary got tested hard today and did OK considering the height mismatches, but they got burned quite a bit.The Defense came out on fire but seemed to burn out after the 1st Quarter. I hope this unit will improve and maintain consistency for the whole 60 minutes. Penalties sucked, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formul8or Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I will give Roy Williams credit on the awesome catch, we couldn't have stopped that. But the fake handoff that was passed off to I think their TE should've been prevented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott24Falcons Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 That one penalty that was called in the endzone during the second quarter was bogus. The pass was several feet over CJ's head. Without that penalty, we held them to a FG on that series. Also, had Mike Smith decided to run out the clock at the end of the first half, DET doesn't even come close to scoring that TD. They would've had 20 seconds (at the most) to score from their own 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBurgFalconFan Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 we won. its week 1, and we're a really young team especially on defense. and we won. the defense bent but didn't break. they will learn and get better, but starting 1-0 is great for their confidence.

bossFALCON™ Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 they looked pretty good minus the 2nd qtr where they got kind of sloppy with the tackling. you have to cut our D some slack because they were going against a team that had 4 WRs with over 700 yds in rec last year.

I hope this unit will improve and maintain consistency for the whole 60 minutes. Penalties sucked, too.NewD coordinator, Rookie MLB, young secondary, going against some of the best receivers in the game- I'm OK with the effort- sure there are things to improve on- houston has to learn to turn his head, grimes has to time his leaps better, on the whole, not bad for a first game- if they're playing like this the 10th game of the season, yeah, that's a problem.

tonegully Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 i think the D was average. I think we just need to get the pass rush better. I mean yeah they were being held, but everyone wasnt being held. The secondary did GREAT going against williams and johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
