atlbaby Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How much does ex-teammate Konz know about Russell Wilson?Hopefully enough to share with Nolan. We will see how much poise the rookie has when the dome is rocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff_Man Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 There is a season worth of tape. What Konz (or Ewing) knew about him in college is pretty moot at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbaby Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I was talking about things that don't show up on tape. Like tendencies. When he gets frustrated or rattle what do he do? Do he like rolling out left compared to rolling out right? When he is playing in a hostile environment and he has to go to a silent count how does he handle the snap count? Underneath the helmet kind of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Negatorris Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ehhh, I doubt it matters much. I know that Wilson is garbage against the blitz, and the Falcons are 3rd best at blitzing in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampyMux12 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I just hope Konz knows who to block and can hold up against them. It don't matter what he knows about Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons Talon Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I hope he knows e'nuff to step his game up anutter level! In the playoffs, you need to elevate your game to a whole nutter level...champions know and do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underneath the helmet kind of things.The silent count is coached, not Wilson's decision. His tendencies will be on film based on the NFL offense Seattle runs.I understand what you are saying, but those were bad examples. Honestly, I don't think Konz can give the team any insight on how to fluster him. In my opinion, the key to shutting him down is by keeping him in the pocket and trying to bat his passes. He's 5'11. His best throws are when he escapes the pocket and sees the entire field. Contain the edges and push the middle of the pocket, he'll have a long day.

Tuggle'2 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe Konz knows what color he dislikes most and then Kroy can wear that color contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same sort of defense the Redskins had. Atlanta's D is 'definitely' underrated nationally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Its pretty simple, force 3rd and 7+ plays. Wilson will have tough time. To do that, Falcons have to restrict Lynch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
