bdog 29 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Admit it, if you see that the defense jumps offsides when we're on offense you know Matt Ryan's going to throw a "screen" to Roddy White. Usually these plays go for at most 5 yards or so and we end up taking the penalty anyway.I'm asking, no begging, Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Mularkey, Smith, whoever to do what every other team in the league does and run the play. Teams regularly just go deep on these plays be cause they know they're guaranteed 5 yards no matter what (I remember the Seahawks scored a TD on us this year on such a play). I'm all for being conservative when it's necessary but when you literally have nothing to lose and everything to gain, why not? At the least throwing not throwing that quick pass to Roddy won't open him up to an unnecessary hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb4242 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Remember the taints game? We got a "free" play & the refs wouldn't f'n call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid example and an anomaly. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try since offsides will be called a good majority of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLfanatic Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 maybe we're setting teams up for the playoffs since that's all we got on film in those situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrtay Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 i wouldn't mind see all the receivers run a go route everytime that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tax-Falcon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I like it better than Ryan taking a knee like he used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monarch Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Remember the taints game? We got a "free" play & the refs wouldn't f'n call it.Another reason we should be throwing deep in that case. Might at least get a pass interference call (yes, I'm intentionally ignoring all of the possible negative consequences). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog 29 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Now I've seen a thread about everything.This is legitimate though, teams regularly get big gains on those types of plays. It wouldn't hurt for us to try. At worst we're guaranteed five yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
