jidady 10,365 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 How comfortable are you right now with Atlanta's ability to generate a pass rush in 2019? To those of you who are uncomfortable, what moves would make you feel better about the situation? To those of you who have confidence, which players do you believe are key to our pressure? egoprime II, DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins, Chitown2ATL_Falcon and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falconsd56 26,509 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Since quinn is calling the defense now ...i feel more confident. The pass rush early in 2016 was meh.....but by the end of the year we were doing a better job of living in the backfield. The front 7 has alot of ifs right now....but if the Ifs work out in the falcons favor then the pass rush should be pretty good. Top Flight and Atl Falcon 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atl Falcon 4,110 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The pass rush worries me.....it has for many yrs since the JA PK days. So yeah I love Lindstorm and Big Kountry but when in the he// are we going to have a pass rush. Just maybe VB has a ‘16 flashback. Takk will be fine.

Atl Falcon 4,110 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 We do have some serious question marks.....two rookies starting side by side on the OL, pass rush, dbs, I Oliver and will Trufant recover???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Williamb 993 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Clayborn, Crawford, and Means (I forgot hageman), are apt to make some noise also with Quinn scheming things g-dawg and papachaz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geaux_Falcons 1,197 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I wouldn't mind picking up Shane Ray just as another "speed rusher". If we can grab Darron Lee, then I think we could see more of Campbell rushing off the edge. I think that was the plan last year if Duke had stepped up. Vic's first step is still elite, and will allow him to be disruptive. Hopefully DQ can turn those pressures from last year into sacks again. Takk with his head on right has just as much promise. Grady is gonna Grady, but I'm hoping Shede is locked in and can be a force. Calling him being an unsung hero for us this year. Shelby should be solid contributor, while Clay will give us a veteran leader amongst the pass rush. Means had some solid promise as a contributor. This Dline has the making of a breakout year in terms of getting to the QB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Mazetti 12,116 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 No Sweat. It will be fine. After the seven minute drives from the O, the D will be well rested and ready to get after it. There is a power running team forming here. Julio, et. al. will eat. OilFuturesTrader19, james b, Born Again Georgian and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
takeitdown 4,199 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I have concerns. I don't expect us to be bottom of the barrel, but middlin is likely. My hopes are that Quinn becomes more aggressive with playcalling and secondary play, and that helps the D get home a lot. Of the players, we really need each one to step up. For this to be a good pass rushing D, you're going to need 5+ sacks from both 3rd down DT's, 10+ from Takk, and 8 from Beasley (along with all the random assortments). Clay, Takk, Beasley and Senat are all going to have to play better than they normally do or have shown. That's a big ask, but what we're going to need. I really think a Cominsky type will help a lot, but I don't know if he'll be ready for anything this year. Wouldn't it be stunning if Hageman became a bludgeoning 5T/3T? I don't anticipate it, but that type of player would make a lot of the difference. Edit: I guess the what we could add would be a legit pass rushing 5T/3T. I think that puts this DL over the top. But I don't think that guy is actually out there right now. Chitown2ATL_Falcon, Francis York Morgan and ATLskinjob 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FalconsIn2012 35,705 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It has less to do with sacking the quarterback and more to do with chaos. Get the wbu off his spot and let your athletes work. Quinn’s Seattle defenses had 38 sacks, just like us last year and 2016. But we need chaos....our late 2016 defense was not good, just opportunistic. They attacked the football in search of TO’s. That’s what we should see more of next year falconsd56 and IfTheBirdsCouldTalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knight of God 53,797 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I won’t say. I’m not down for an argument. Not a fan of Takk though. Lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clark Kent™ 4,538 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm a little comfortable because the fact that we were decimated by injuries last year played a significant role in why our defense was trash. And with the signings of Clayborn and maybe even Hageman gives me SOME comfort. Senat having a year under his belt gives me comfort And maybe most importantly, the fact that our O line may allow us to dominate time of possession, that will only make the defense better.

athell 32,525 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I have zero confidence in our ability generate pass rush, at least from edge. I have cautious optimism with Quinn taking over but Vic has fooled me for too long to feel comfortable in being our alpha rusher. My hope is they finally feed off eachother, Vic and Takk, but I have concerns. Maybe an actual rotation will help...we had no depth last year...

falcons007 24,272 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Apparently DQ is confident that him taking over the D will disrupt the QB. If Senat can take the next step, he could be the wild card in rotation. Tak and Vic both disappeared for big stretch last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IfTheBirdsCouldTalk 106 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Yea Quinn's defense is about disruptions not sacks.. Its also about forcing turnovers.. But for real the defense relies on Tru.. If he can lock down opposing number one receivers, its playmakers everywhere else on defense.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jm_falcons 492 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 How comfortable are you right now with Atlanta's ability to generate a pass rush in 2019? Not very....hoping for an average # of sacks this year. Hoping Tac can rival the man in the pic someday?? To those of you who are uncomfortable, what moves would make you feel better about the situation? Well....I wanted a 1st rnd DE edge rusher opposite of Tac. Then...transition Vic to OLB where he wont get pushed around as much. I'm sorry but a 250 LB DE is too light and Vic is under performing as we all know. Lets add some badly needed LB depth. To those of you who have confidence, which players do you believe are key to our pressure? Not much confidence...just praying. I hated that we lost Alford, btw.

NeonDeion 5,922 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 DQ calling plays helps some. Clayborn helps some. If Hageman makes the team, I will feel great. duckhoa and falconfreak1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dawgsjw 758 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I think we can be avg enough on the DLine but I feel better with Quinn calling the plays now. Now this is assuming that Takk can stay healthy and I am really not counting on Vic to give us anything, so if he does produce anything it will just be a bonus I guess. I think Crawford is underrated and give us some push. With how our offense is set up, I'm not sure how yall can expect us to have an elite Dline as well. Plus we have used a few 1st round picks on dlinemen and so far they haven't really worked out (I still believe in you Takk). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
