Scheme was absolutely the same. I would say player execution, they playing for a job now. vitaman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As matter of fact...that is the most over used misunderstood wood used here but I digress. But from appearance we seemed to run more Tampa 2 style coverage rather than the single high look that we have been trotting out most of this year.

Those looks were just called more today than in any game this year. jdawg4876 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, we reversed the amount we played of 4-2-5 and 4-3-4, bc the vikings want to run the ball, thats how they killed us every yr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SipDirtyBird84 265 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 One of the biggest changes was moving Oliver to the slot. Oliver is a pretty good tackler and defense against short yardage routes. Atl Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JBridgez 294 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Justin Jefferson torched every single one of our corners. Sheffield got it the worst. Whole team still played great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllStarHandyMan 501 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) The deep ball to Thielen was a drop! A.J 24 got in there and made the ball move then the ball moved again when he hit the ground. I was a little annoyed we didn't challenge. If anyone interested its a 5:25 in the 4th qt Edited October 19, 2020 by AllStarHandyMan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

itsryanwonder 3,691 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 They are actually playing man to man coverage and actually run the one on ones. With Quinn, it was constant 10 yard off zone coverage Dr Long Shot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gHost83 1,110 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Justin Jefferson is pretty good. Sheff had a solid game, but Jefferson had a better one. Best rookie wr through the first 6 games. He has more yards than Diggs and Moss through their first 6 games which is pretty insane... vitaman and papachaz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

quotemokc 3,898 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Still think they are getting beat over top too much but I prefer forcing the QB to make a good throw instead of giving up soft cushions underneath. high impact 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hate the soft play we have been forced to watch on 3rd and long in the past. It was like the players felt disrespected. The players want to attack and have fun doing it. Not sit back and let the play come to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdawg4876 7,234 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 We did play a lot more press than usual, the problem is pressure though, we should have got way more pressure than we did on some of them plays. the truth is Fowler is not a difference-maker he's not terrible but he's not great either he's slightly above avg.

Becky4Falcons 27 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Yeah 2 years and 2 atrocious starts. It makes me think it is not just a scheme issue. These problems are a little bit deeper and systemic. I'm not sure what is going on. If they can salvage this season and push for a playoff spot I would be willing to give them one more year. If the rest of the season goes the way it has so far then serious changes need to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
