Hopefully the catalyst for a bounce back

Hopefully the players are more focused than we are.

Sheehan said on his podcast he senses something is off in the defensive locker room. He said just a feeling, no news. But yeah there has to be some sort of disconnect for our best squad, DL, and 2 of our best players, CY & Sweat, to regress that much from last year.

Hopefully they use this opportunity of facing a struggling team and limited OL to get on the same page.

The D line is doing fine. The seven dudes behind them though...

The D tackles are doing fine, the other 9 as a whole are not, is how I would phrase it.

Re: Falcons pregame thread
 

Maybe. I have no way of breaking it down to the gnat's ass level of detail, but the D-line IS getting pressure on the QB. WFT is 2nd in the league in pressuring the QB. If it's just the DTs applying that pressure, that's even more impressive, but I don't think it is. They have all had their moments, but the defense as a whole is ___________. <----------- I can't describe it. I'm actually a little baffled.

Have you seen the clips Baldinger posted and commented on referenced in this article? He's right, no way a D lineman should be out hussled to the ball like that, by an OL on the first drive. There's no effort at all once the ball is out, and arguably little effort before it.

'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.'

Can it be fixed? Of course, but I'm sat here wondering why a D that was so feared and played to such a high level last year suddenly starts phoning it in?

Good Q and A with a blogger from the Falcoholic:[url]https://www.hogshaven.com/2021/10/2/22705184/washington-vs-atlanta-week-4-five-questions-with-the-falcoholic[/url]

Question 1 looks at RR in particular and the answer is great. Question 5 is more about tomorrows game and is also worth a look.

I think WFT will be ready to go. Send Atlanta to 1-3 and begin to consider the post Matt Ryan era.

They were indeed bringing quite a fair share of pressure the first 2 weeks, but last week except Payne nobody did much.

Re: Falcons pregame thread
 

31-10 Redskins. But if we lose this guess we can start talking draft and guess what, adding insult to injury, 2022 is one of the worst QB classes in recent years.

Re: Falcons pregame thread
 

With Gibson questionable I would prefer to have him rest( He’s already shown he has durability issues)and them start Patterson,will they do it,no

I was thinking the same, 17 game season and some big teams coming up

Re: Falcons pregame thread
 

If we don't beat Atlanta it's over,so I'm gonna say...WFT 24-ATL 21,last second field goal saves it for us....[fingers and toes crossed]!!

Re: Falcons pregame thread
 

Interesting and depressing stat:

Taylor Heinicke has thrown 2 touchdown passes in each of his two starts. The only qb in the last 30 years that has thrown multiple TD's in his first 3 games for Washington was Case Keenum in 2019. (Yahoo Sports)

That is unbelievable.

Man, he makes it look like he can't be a full-time starter sometimes. And he just look like he has "it" sometimes!
