jm_falcons Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 13 rushes for 45 yards15 rushes for 18 yards10 rushes for 23 yards12 rushes for 24 yards.total = 50 rushes for 110 yds (if math is right)The above represents the Falcons pre season 1st half run defense stats. If we are all so worried about the pass defense....take a gander at the above numbers. If the pass D is bad...the run D is great. You cannot have it both ways. We know the offense is great.Is coaching staff great? I think its quite good. Adding Tye Hill and Williams to our secondary can only improve it.I may be in for a rude awakening....but I see 9-7 and possibly 10-6 for this team.Falcons win today 34-24. Grimes and Houston will look bad at times but VG and Smith will adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtechballa Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 we consistently put the chargers into 3rd and long situations, that has to be some optimism. if we stop one of those 3rd downs then we get off the field defensively.
