ya_boi_j Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The Falcons didn’t do a great job of putting hands on Russell Wilson last weekend, but they’re vowing to make sure 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick doesn’t treat them the same way.“If you get the opportunity to blow up somebody and make a statement, that’s what you want to do,” safety William Moore said, via Jim Corbett of USA Today. “They’re a physical team, too. Their receivers block down the field.“We’re going to go out there well-prepared. Keeping the quarterback in the pocket, we have to go in there and keep contain on him.”While using a phrase like “blow up somebody,” sounds inflammatory, the Falcons would need to tighten up defensively to avoid a repeat of the show Kaepernick put on against the Packers, which including 181 rushing yards.And they apparently think being physical with the 49ers is the way to do that.“You definitely want to set the tone and send a message if he’s a guy that likes to run the ball: ‘We’re going to be here.’ You want to put some tags on him if he keeps the ball in his hands,” safety Thomas DeCoud said. “With a quarterback of this caliber who can tote the rock like he can, you always have to be accounted for — have somebody account for him in the rush or in the back end. Somebody has to have eyes on him to make sure we keep him in the pocket.”Considering Wilson combined for 445 combined yards last week, and Kaepernick is probably more of a runner, that’s easier said than done.

falcndave Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 A DE should be "Blowing him up" on every read option play. That is the way every college team defends the run option. You run the play, your QB takes a hit. End of story. I vaguely remember RG3 crying about this early in the year...he wasn't getting the protection other QBs do. If you are executing a run fake(rolling out faking you have the ball), or in a running posture, you are just a ball carrier in the eyes of the league.

billb49 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Prediction: the Niners know full well Nolan will take this approach and run primarily out of the pro set. Why not? They've got a huge size advantage on the line and a big book of running sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Obviously hit him when ya get the chance but Krapabrick isn't going to be like Vick....he ain't going to fold like a K-Mart lawn chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't wanna get treated like a beesh, stay in the pocket and make more plays with your arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonOfThemBirds Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Spoon needs to be more disciplined at rushing the QB. Spoon could of had at least 2 or 3 sacks on Wilson last Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vel Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Zone blitzes should be in heavy rotation on Sunday when it's an obvious passing set. The Rams did a good job with timing their blitzes and getting pressure on Kaep without an escape route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to play to ours, you probably don't. Not because it isn't a solid tactic, but more because your team simply isn't built for it.

JayOzOne Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Instead of "blowing them up", howzabout we grab them with two hands and hold on until the player's forward progress stops or he is escorted to the turf? Please, please, PLEASE just tackle somebody this Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USArmyParatrooper Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 "The Falcons didn’t do a great job of putting hands on Russell Wilson last weekend" Don't feel bad. That f***er is slippery. I can't count how many times he had three or four 49ers chasing 13 years behind the LOS.... only to have him turn it into a 10-yard gain.

Da Bird is Da Word Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Strange they'd point that out, when we at least got two sacks on him and they didn't get Matt Ryan a single time. He is slippery though. There were a couple really close almost-sacks but dude went off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWooLick Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) It could happen. Idk how smart Kap is, but he can't be smarter than Peyton Manning.He certainly isn't as experienced but he was an A student who was recruited by Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth and he scored very high on the Wonderlick.Manning's football IQ encreased with experience.
