k-train Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Coming into the game, Washington was 1st in the NFL in rushing yards per game, averaging 139.5 yards per contest.The Falcons D held them to just 51 yards total on the ground.Great job!

Dirtybird56 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 We are a good team. Here's another way we've shown we can win.. Even when Matt has a bad day. Much like 2012 against ArizonaLooking forward to Thursday. Matt gets a quick opportunity to shake it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLFalcfan Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Based on stats, especially run defense it's a game we should have won big. Eaking one out was a great team win all around but a game ball should go to Babs for a couple of his big stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltstorm2 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 We've been shutting down everyone's run game. It's amazing to see how often we're playing in the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth B Told (TRU) Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) We were #5 against the run coming in. I had no doubt that we could stuff the run. Edited October 11, 2015 by Truth B Told (TRU) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilleniumFalcon Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 On paper, Falcons should've killed them in the air, tough to run the ball and tough to stop the run but the opposite things happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like 2012 against ArizonaLooking forward to Thursday. Matt gets a quick opportunity to shake it offI think we'll run the ball a ton Thursday.Free is on fire right now and Julio & Hank need to get healthy for the stretch.Plus, the Saints are giving up 135.8 yards per game on the ground... which should put them at around 30th or 31st in the NFL for rush D.

birdsnflight Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Seems like when they want to they can really get their run stoppers up field for the stops when they have to. Babs, Jarrett, Soli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me4falcons Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah, I honestly thought Babs was pretty much washed up after last season, but he's had some great moments so far, and especially in the game today.He's still got it just keep him at DT were his been good and and not DE.

dirtybird2k5 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 We are 2nd in the league in rush defense, and if the Giants give up more than 113 yards on the ground tonight, we will be 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
