montanaman71 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Has anyone noticed that the Falcons never really run screens. The only screen that sticks out in my mind is the one to Roddy White in the Bears game that went for a touchdown. Pretty sure I haven't seen it since. With Norwood back I hope they are running some.

But we i dont think i've seen a screen to a RB all year.That is what I thought too. I see every NFL team running screens to their RB's to throw off the blitzes but the Falcons never utilize them. I understand Turner may not be that kind of back but I am confident Snelling can do well in a screen and I know Norwood definitely can. I would like to see this play incorporated into the offense every once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's completely untrue that the Falcons never run screens to the RB. It is a documented fact that the Falcons ran a RB screen this year against the Redskins.Not due for another one until next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
