Good stuff DK

Finally got an offensive coordinator that knows how to use Julio!

They blitzed on pretty much every down. Jim Schwartz' defensive strategy was basically the same as 13 year old me playing Madden 04. it's kind of shocking how much it worked, honestly.

Shoot I still do it. It's a legit strategy if you have the personnel and know when to pull it lol

I always liked that nickel blitz where you send the LBs right through the A gaps. I forget what it's called but I got my share of sacks and gave up lots of plays

Reverse jet sweep... ftw

It took way too long for handling the blitz. Hopefully they have plays for next games.

We have seen this from jets preseason game, last game and most of eagles game. Now the Falcons better have it ready coz NFL DC are gonna go after Ryan coz they can’t stop weapons:

I know. In Madden it had a weird name.

Agree... and while I credit DK for having that check in (and Matt picking it up), it sure did take a long time to get a play in to beat it.

I dunno probably. Back before Madden became like real football. With John coming on between plays to make fun of your playcalls.

[LightningDawg58 1,287]

Teams definitely smell blood when it comes to dialing up pressure against us. Until we repeatedly burn them we will keep seeing it

Honestly, a better throw from Ryan and he has a 99 yard TD the first time the Eagles ran cover-0.

we had some other plays we didn't quite hit on though. Once the timing gets worked out a little better, they'll hit em. Give the DB credit for doing his job too on the one Ridley almost had

I’m getting so old. I actually remember this. 

[falconsd56 18,446]

So you are saying that DK Bated the eagles into that play call??

 

What a mast..........ok not going to make the joke.

This is exactly what I told @fuego last night. I figured DK had that check with every play they called and when they got the look Matt audibled to it and Julio was off to the races. 

[NeonDeion 5,920]

We still need more dump offs to RBs to slow down the blitz. Hate the guy but Sean Peyton abuses the blitz with RB dump offs

Well, not really.  We had 3 drops in the end zone...We beat that blitz most of the time, just didn't quite hit the execution...
