Charleston Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 O line made the entire offense look very effective. It has been a long time since I could say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaeshaelafemme Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Even though it'sonly been one game, the only has given me a glimmer of hope for the coming season. We'll see how they do on the road.On a defensive note is Jon Abraham ok? I remember he limped off the field at one point but ended up with 3 sacks. I was probably drunk at that point...

Headshot Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Offensive line and there's no debate. Without the improvements in the offensive line Turner doesn't get 220 yards, and Norwood doesn't get 93, and Matt Ryan doesn't have time to hit his targets. Offensive line and it's not close.

rugger8 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yeah, I gotta go with OL, but it would be hard to separate which position along the line would be most improved. Maybe LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinupe14 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 RB Turner is huge improvement over Dunn iit will be the reason why we win future games and it was the reason we won yesterdayTell me about it ... He's already scored more TD's than Dunn has the past few years ... at least it seems like it (even though I'm exaggerating). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 anyone saying RB is nuts. Baker over Gandy/Foster/Ojinnaka is easily the biggest improvement on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzummo Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The OL only allowed 1 sack and paved the way for 318 yards rushing. Turner did have 220, and that overshadows everybody else. But our backup RB also gained 93 yards on top of that along with his own TD (a pretty good day for a starter). If you really want to see where the improvement lies, look at our short yardage plays. Our RB's are not getting hit in the backfield on short yardage anymore. We had 4 plays faced with 2 or less yards to convert. We converted every single last one of them. We were not stopped ONCE in short yardage! 2 2nd downs with 2 yards to go, 1 2nd down with 1 yard to go, and 1 3rd down with 1 yard to go.

Dunn woulda had a helluva year last year if he'd had the same to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons 'til Death Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I would have to go with the OL and more specifically RG. Dahl just tore through their D-Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The most improved thing for me was that Norwood got 14 carriesand he continued to average over 6 yds. per carry. He was gettingabout 7 last year. The more carries he gets, the better chance wehave of winning. Turner obviously trumped anything Dunn wouldhave done yesterday even with our improved blocking. He wasbreaking tackles and then running away from people. It just couldn'thave been better I don't think. We are a very dangerous team.

pzummo Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 If we have to say one position, I'd agree it was LT. Turner rushed over the left side 10 times for 148 yards and both TD's! Yes, 14.8 yards per carry over the left side of the line. The other 12 carries went for 72 yards (still 6 ypc) up the middle and to the right. For comparison's sake, last season Dunn rushed to the left side 75 times for 238 yards and 1 TD, over the course of the ENTIRE season.
