Guest Gritz Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Alright, we're going to be facing arguably the best quarterback in the NFL (judging from the way they are all playing NOW) on Sunday when Drew Brees hits the Georgia Dome.Realistically we can't shut this guy down. He's too good and the 'Aints have too many weapons.What do you think VanGorder and Smith's plan defensively is going to be? The 'ol "bend but don't break defense?".....keeping everything in front of us and not allowing Brees to beat us deep?.....or do we choose a more aggressive plan?What say you?

Sun Tzu 7 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 lazer pointers.lots of em.Just kidding.We'll probably try to keep everything in front of us on the defense.Get ready to hear about our offense keeping thiers off the field...

crankdatfalcon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 playing with his head before the snap, bringing everybody up to the line and some dropping back like the steelers and redskins were doing last night.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurtyBirds02 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Its tough to make a game plan. This guy can distribute the ball very well. We gotta get those linemen breathing in his face. He has to make some bad decisions and we HAVE to capitalize. He can easily pick apart out D if we give him to much time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronHead34 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Pressure him into mistakes.Get a pick or two to mess with his confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Paint his mole to look like a football - maybe he'll throw himself.Seriously - we have to get pressure - and Abe needs a great day. He's going to get his yards, we just need to control the scoring. Keep our offense out there all day long - keep him off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceReville Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The best way to slow Brees down is to bump his receivers up front and get into their heads - keep them from maintaining their timing routes and popping them hard whenever they do catch the ball - We are near the top in not allowing YACs so if we keep them in front of our defenders we could be very sucsessful in defending the pass - just don't give up the big play.On a side note we have to break Brees' streak against the Falcons - ever since he has come to New Orleans the Falcons have not beat the Saints -- this my friend has to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlacksburgHokie Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Get pressure on him and press his receivers. He's going to make his share of big plays, but we have to make sure that he doesn't feel comfortable in the pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanjason Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Attack him from the start. Go right at him with blitz packages. See how he handles the pressure. If he starts making completions then I'd might back off and play some zone. Don't give their receivers too much cushion either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give their receivers too much cushion either.i think with foxy and houston, they dont give too much cushion like grimes use too..and hopefully it will stay that way because i think brees likes to throw that quick slant to the inside.

kusonagi Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The scary thing about Drew is he don't play favorites; if any rcvr gets open Drew will hit him. If we blitz too often he will light us up. The front four is going to have to do it themselves. Move Abe around and put Jamal inside once or twice. Show that 3-3 nickel pack we used vs Aaaron Rodgers where Nicholas rushed in. Boley has got to have his best game of the season; he needs to make plays in space.

Statick Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If the d-line can't get to him, then all they need to do is to get their hands up and make him rush his passes. He's only 6 feet tall so they'll have a better chance at batting down his passes.From the two games I've seen from him that is happening to him more this year.

falconsfan1987 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We need to keep him off the field as much as possible. He is a very talented QB. If we can keep pressure on him from our D-line and maybe even bring some linebackers and safeties. Our corners will have to stand strong. Foxworth and Houston will be tested.We need to get our running game started early. If we can get Turner started early and Norwood, we will be able to run the clock down and keep there D on the field. Again Turner and Ryan will have to have a big day to win this game or to keep pace with the Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formul8or Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We need a sucky defensive player like Jennings, put him on defense, and have him get a really late, over the top hit until Brees is injured. Then they can kick out Jennings, so it's win win for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosmith67 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ball control, the Falcons kept the ball for 45 minutes against the Raiders, against pass happy teams like the Saints holding on to the ball and controlling the clock tends to work the best.

taylor228193 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Get in the receivers' faces. Blitz Lofton and Nicholas, have Boley cover their running back or tight end, with Milloy on the other. Keep Brooking on the sidelines please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamill Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If the defense can keep from being lured into staring at that huge growth on the side of Brees' face, I think we'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
