AtlantaFalconPokerPro Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You mean a fan said that? Fan/SB nation is the same thing. You could write for SB nation. Swift could write for SB nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That's a very short sighted "quote". You cannot win without owning the trenches. And we have not owned scrimmage .some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeitdown Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Don't really care about SBnation, but that is the overall concern. You want people who can push the pocket (given that 60% of plays and about 80% of yardage comes from the pass.)We know we have guys who can hold ground now, but we'll see if they can collapse. If they can collapse, they're exactly what we need. We don't need speedsters running around people while the QB steps up. We need people who can move the line of scrimmage back a yard so the QB is uncomfortable.And yes, it'll help w the run. But what they do with the pocket will determine just how good the signings are.

RandomFan Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 A wise man once said, it's much easier to play 3rd down defense and have a better pass rush when it's 3rd and 8 instead of 3rd and 4. That's what is meant by the statement, "it all starts with stopping the run first." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayOzOne Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I don't care who we start on the edges. Without a fat boy pushing his way up the middle, his impact would not be as significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotsaPoppa Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 On our 2 new DL's:YOU'D THINK THE FALCONS WOULD BE YEARNING FOR PASS RUSHERS, BUT INSTEAD THEY DROPPED ALMOST $60 MILLION ON A PAIR OF EASTER ISLAND STATUESOk. Tell that Jacka$$ to call me when somebody moves one of those "EASTER ISLAND STATUES" which is why we F'n got them, so when we do get a pass rusher, he can focus on rushing the passer, and the o-line can prioritize and make sure neither of those "EASTER ISLAND STATUES" lands on their QB.

MAD597 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We've had a revolving door of DE's come in and fail largely because we had no push in the middle. We have finally fixed that. Isanity would be to keep signing DE's in hope they change something which has not worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconidae Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'll admit the lack of football knowledge shown in that quote is disturbing, don't think I would have made a thread about it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
