Deep2Julio Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Outside of Philly, we haven't played any team with a pass rush.Let's wait until Sunday and find out how they'll hold up against a real D-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I don't know about that. A lot of it is offensive scheming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 We will certainly find out Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeitdown Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 No.But I'm glad to see the interior holding up far better than one would expect from guys put together at the last minute.Right now there's a lot of scheming, quick passes, etc. But there is hope that as the season progresses and the line gels, that there can be less scheming and they'll still be pretty good. You'd have to be pleased with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wartownfalcon Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) We only have allowed 13 total pressures which is tops in NFL. Lions have allowed 51 which is the worst Edited October 1, 2015 by wartownfalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbabygrady Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 fewest number of pressures because ryan is throwing all those short passes to julio, we have had a balanced run/pass ratio (at least in 2 games), and play action has been effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerSteve Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 fewest number of pressures because ryan is throwing all those short passes to julio, we have had a balanced run/pass ratio (at least in 2 games), and play action has been effective Shanahan is no fool. You nullify the pass rush with quick short passes, roll your QB out some, and run the football. The Texans are a test the Falcons will pass with flying colors.

The Texans are a test the Falcons will pass with flying colors.And from what I understand, Pokersteve, despite what was considered uprades and players returning healthy on defense, the Texans have NOT performed even close to expectations for reasons unknown.

Guest Negatorris Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 No. But we are definitely over achieving at this point. Watt and Clowney should be a tough test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl927 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Man, it's way too early to start talking about who's the best this year. That will take a while to shake out. I'm just enjoying this ride. Edited October 1, 2015 by Carl927 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaveG Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Clowney = 0 sacks. According to AFMB reckoning, this makes him useless and a bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
