iDash Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Falcons 2nd half conditioning looked bad,even Gruden,mentioned the hands on hips(a couple of times) and how out of shape this D was in the 2nd.I know the eagles run the clock fast, but we might play them again.Our D doesn't have the talent to---> skip conditioning.Falcons should strive to be the most conditioned team in the NFL if you ever want to bring a ring home to ATL.Don't be like McNabb,in the biggest game of your life in the 4th quarter,TO looks over at you and you are blowing chucks when he wants to score a TD!Congrats on the win,either the D starts running sprints, everydayor get a DR to start passing out some secret undetected roids.About two ago, There was news of a South American berry some researchers say helps with conditioning. Maybe y'all could look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirty Bird Nation ® Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Defense definitely looked gassed in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLFalcons11 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The Eagles drive with a bunch of penalties went 17 plays. 17.It doesn't matter how conditioned you are any and everybody will be gassed. I don't have a problem with their conditioning. It is just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I dont care how good of condition you are in, if the opposing team pass the ball over 50 times the pass rushers are bound to get tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewcrew Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It was the first game of the season. With the way they limit contact, practice times and two-a-days now no team is fully game ready at the start of the season. And Philly is the most extreme version of an offense designed to gas a defense. There will be a lot of defenses that look worse than we did this year. I don't think we have the same problem (at least not as bad) if we see them in the playoffs.I think week one is a tough time to face them. We were very fortunate to come away with a W, no matter how sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiscoFalcon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Every defense would have been gassed in the second half of Week 1 against an offense like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 You're reaching for straws. You're more than welcome to try staying on the field more than 8-10 plays and come ask to let us know how you feel afterwards. Especially late in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest King Jigsaw Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Lay off the OP. He just wants us to be more prepared for the next offense like Chip Kelly's we play in the near future.Oh, wait.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just wants us to be more prepared for the next offense like Chip Kelly's we play in the near future.Oh, wait..the Eagles defense isn't even conditioned enough to keep up with them. Too much "running sprints" can ruin you come game time. Ask Cary Williams lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiruz Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 This is why I'm a fan of having atleast 3 really good pass rushers, when you play a team like the Eagles they need to rotate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsFanSince194eva Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 We should have rotate the D like they do in hockey. Dan Quinn is so dumb for not using the 2nd and 3rd team yesterday. No way anyone can get tried if they are only used at a quarter at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 That simply isn't true. Gruden was not saying that our defense was poorly conditioned. He said that we looked tired, b/c the Eagles O was designed to tire out a defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownvoteDon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I have a suggestion: Spend as long as you'd like getting in the best shape possible. Go ahead and dope if you want. . . .Now find a blocking sled and see how far you can move it in 6 seconds, MAXIMAL effort.Now you have 20 seconds to jog 20 yards, rest as long as you have, and hit the sled again.Repeat 5 times, 10 times . . .15 times.If you can move the sled half as far on the 10 attempt, then you have a point about the Falcons . . . MY point is that the blur offense is designed to induce fatigue regardless against any opponent, even one that is peak condition. As I said in another thread, don't run extra wind sprints, call a freakin' timeout!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 the ones who never had the chance to an will never know man loltrue on that. In the 4th I was praying for a turnover cause I was so tired lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vel Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Lol it's obviously the OP's never played before. 17 plays is ROUGH! At the Eagles pace is worse. That's the point of their offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insight Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 As Falcons fans we have seen the 2nd half collapse too many times to count. I do think this years D has improved but they expended too much energy early in the game. I think they were jacked up with adrenaline anxious to prove they could hang with Philly's offense. Hopefully things will settle down as the season progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
