Falcons RapidReports Great to hear. They have been resting the over 30 gang all year during practice and noticeably rotating certain of the older vets in games. I was thinking at the beginning of the week they it's time to go full throttle or they will have a long offseason to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodiac Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Good, and Sidbury needs to get in more often instead of Biermann.Also can we get Franks as the #2 Corner please and have Dunta and Darrin rotate for NB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon2 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 He better play more, because putting Eli on his *** is key to us finally winning a playoff game.If we get the first one the future is bright.Nobody gives us credit but if the Aints get beat early again we can definitely handle SF and the big game is within our grasps.Abraham is key in all our games.

Aftermath Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I can't decide if thats a good thing or a bad thing. There are times when he is a non factor in games even with rest, dont know how playing the extra snaps will affect him. Hopefully it will help him get in a rhythm, of course not dropping into coverage would help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't really agree with Smitty's strategy for him when he got here but he complied. If he plays 95% of the def snaps he'll wear down one of the tackles. Should be a good thing. His injury was an issue before the GB game but I could see when he started getting healthy in the Houston game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandy Gossett Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 This is what Bobby Cox never understood. He rested players throughout the Season to insure Postseason play but never went full throttle in the PostSeason. I think we shock the world w/ Full Throttle, no letting up, foot on the throat, running score up ball games! No more conservative play since you're not concerned w/ frustrating opponents that you may see later in the year. Take No Prisoners !!!
