Falconsfan567 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The Atlanta Falcons will never win a **** thing until they learn to be able to run for 1st downs on 3rd and short to finish games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons couldn't pick up short yardage last year either with a power man scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons couldn't pick up short yardage last year either with a power man scheme.The difference is actually ran the ball a little... But tough yards may be an issue.But everything we saw from Philly in the 2nd half.... Expect to see that from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Tzu 7 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 So most teams we play from now on are going to have the same defense as Philly?No but they're probably going to do the same with run blitzes.Hopefully Kyle Shannahan can come up something to counter that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Man if I'm honest if thats the starting point for this line seriously the arrow is pointing up.We ran for over 100 yards tonight Coleman looked good to me tonight pass pro needs work.Having Levitre for 4 pracitses Person's probably one of very few starts at C man I have to say as mentioned I'm pretty darn happy.

falconidae Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 There's every reason to think this Oline will get better- 3 new starters, a new scheme, went up against a solid Dline. Ryan puts a little more under the passes into the end zone and to Coleman, this game is out of reach.Falcons are going to put some points up this year.D should get better too. Loved Jarrett's hit that caused the INT, also loved that the Falcons went for the TD afterwards. This is not the team from last year.

But there was still a bit too much inconsistency with the OL though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-peg Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It was an interesting game because the Oline was not even settled down a bit till a few practices ago. In 4 games, we will probably have a very different look on the Oline that will be much cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Agreed. But there was still a bit too much inconsistency with the OL though.The inconsistency came when we didn't get anything done on early downs.If I'm honest when we were rolling I thought the line did really well.It's not stellar by any standard but as Imentioned earlier the arrow at least is pointed in the right direction.For me it only re-enforced how much unfounded panic this board was in after the Miami game.

Romfal Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 overall they played better than I expected. new scheme, guess there is room for improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL_Buff Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Running the same play on 3rd w a flip was a bad decision. Should've ran a counter or play action. Malcom Jenkins sniffed it right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssippifalcon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Agreed. But there was still a bit too much inconsistency with the OL though.they had 1 week to prepare for a very good defense, what did you expect? This line will only get better and I for one am impressed by wat they were able to pull off over the course of just one week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Is Matt Ryan just that bad at executing a QB sneak? I feel like it has been years since I have seen him try one on 3rd and 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.11 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Is Matt Ryan just that bad at executing a QB sneak? I feel like it has been years since I have seen him try one on 3rd and 1.Yeah, I'd like to see more of those. If Drew Brees can convert on those, then Matt should definitely be able to as well.

ZoneOne01 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Still the online looked better than last year.Yep. This line looked much better in comparison to what we've had these last few years. Obviously there is room for improvement but the line didn't look like a disaster.

jwickha2 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Is Matt Ryan just that bad at executing a QB sneak? I feel like it has been years since I have seen him try one on 3rd and 1.This was exactly what I was about to say. It seems the Falcons still think Vick is back there. Ryan is 6'4 230 lbs not 6' 200 lbs. That to me was really the only playcall that I didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malak07 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Running the same play on 3rd w a flip was a bad decision. Should've ran a counter or play action. Malcom Jenkins sniffed it right out. yeah counter was right call there... they crashed box particular to short side and I like my chances of letting Tevin run to far side and out run defenders to stretch for 1 yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Overall, i was pleasantly surprised by the OL play. Given the circumstances coming into the game and the Eagles having a good front, i expected a trainwreck.Pass blocking was actually solid, allowing for the slower developing play action to be very effective.Run blocking was a different story. The interior OL was getting pushed back nearly every running play. The 3rd and 1 call was dumb given what had been happening all game. The play fake with Ryan bootleg still catches the opposing D napping and would have made more sense as a misdirection since PHI had been crashing through the middle all night. But even with those criticisms, the run game showed improvement. 32 carries (not counting kneeldowns) showed a commitment to the run and Coleman had a solid 80 yards and 4 ypc. Coleman needs to be the RB when the Falcons want to run the ball, at least until the OL improves.If the Falcons OL can "gel" (and more importantly, get tougher run blocking from the interior), the offense will be fine.

AndySG Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The draw play padded the stats a little, but it wasn't terrible. One of my big concerns is that Person still can't snap the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
