Just Occurred To Me Anyone Else Notice?

[The O.D.B]

Going back to our 1st game I recall seeing allot of QBs we faced this year who were frazzled enough by our defense that they couldn't come close to hitting a wide open receiver. I seem to recall Freeman had 2 wide open receivers in the end zone and he tossed up a garbage ball on both plays that didn't come close. Breezy also tossed garbage at several of his receivers and Eli as well. Bad passes are a part of the game but when you can't hit a wide-open guy you know the defense is in your head.

Nolan must be doing some interesting stuff in Pass coverage to get these guys so nervous. Thoughts?

Abe's reaction on that play is priceless lol

Nic comin over to talk sh*t to the pus*y too

[Peyton]

He did in the Giants game for sure.

When you try to rush throws or panic, that is what happens. Cant really say what is really going on in coverage because we only see so much I think it's more of what the players call being in the correct spot at the correct time.

One more reason why Arthur needs to make Nolan happy and keep him, whatever it takes

[falcons007]

Pass rush and coverages can do that to QB.On most of the interception the QB was step away from getting sacked. Even in the first interception by Eli, Spoon destroyed Wilson and Eli had to get rid of the ball with out seeing coverage.

I'd break down the freaky coverage he put on for the DeCoud INT but I am busy playing Tetris lol. It was good stuff though.

I don't think Arthur would hesitate to pay him the necessary money. It will come down to someone making him an HC, and if he wants to do that.

I think he'll stay.

haha , yea I love that gif. Abe just looks down at his feet and is all like , REALLY? WTF man lol.

I'll tell you something interesting about the DeCoud interception, and it might be a pretty good indication of why the Falcons have given up some big runs this year.

The Giants were in a double TE set, with a single back and 2 WRs. The Falcons lined up in what looked like a 4-3 formation with a Safety in the box, but they actually had nickle personnel on the field. Robert McClain, of all people, was lined up where the ROLB would normally have been, and Spoon was in the middle.

Up 14-0, the Falcons were just daring the Giants to run the ball, and the Giants still threw it....with disastrous results.

If Nolan doesn't get a HC gig I don't think he'll go anywhere.

That being said most teams like to fill HC positions before the Super Bowl is over, so we just need to keep playing through the SB and come out the other side with the Lombardi.

[putnam6]

I could deal with that. Hopefully Nolan isn't going anywhere don't think he will after 1 year but you never know. I know this one reason to feel good about their chances is the improvement in the defense and the semblance of a running game returning.

[Mid-Nite-Toker]

Comforting to know that the "D" can dictate rather than just react in certain situations.

You can't underestimate the additions of Nolan and Samuel to this "D".

We got guys like McClain/Owens/Franks making significant plays...says a lot IMHO.

That was a great design, Eli didn't know what hit him.
