A Blogside Chat With Canal Street Chronicles

by Dave Choate on Nov 11, 2011 7:00 AM EST in Falcons News

Every year, Dave Cariello of Canal Street Chronicles and I engage in some verbal sparring leading up to the Falcons-Saints game. What follows is a conversation from last night. One of us was sober.

Dave Cariello: I'm ready. Let's do this!

Dave Choate: Huzzah!

Dave Cariello: So...the Falcons...they suck. Tell me more.

Dave Choate: Oh ho, starting off combative. I like your moxie. It's been kind of an up-and-down season for us, frankly.

Dave Cariello: I just came home from a birthday dinner with my wife. I've been drinking.

Dave Choate: That's a good reason. I will say this, though. At least we haven't lost to the Rams.

Dave Cariello: Ouch. Yes, this is true. But did you see how badly we kicked the Colts asses?

Dave Choate: I did. That was brutal. But I gotta say, this is the game of the season for the Falcons so far.

Dave Cariello: That's what the Saints are gonna do to Atlanta.

Dave Choate: Given recent history, I don't think so. You know only one of their last six games have been decided by more than a score?

Dave Cariello: I did not know that. Way to work in an interesting yet informative Falcons fact for all the Saints fans out there.

Dave Choate: It's a hobby. So tell me, how's that vaunted three-headed running attack working out for ya?

Dave Cariello: It's been good. The Saints are actually coming off of one of their best rushing performances in eight years. Most of that credit is probably due to the offensive line though. Honestly, I think they could do better if there was more of a dedication to running the ball by Payton and coaches, but still, they've been formidable when called upon.

Dave Choate: I think Falcons fans are particularly concerned about Sproles.

Dave Cariello: They should be. Sproles in your holes! I have no idea why San Diego let him go and I have no idea why 30 other NFL teams let him come to New Orleans but, damn, I love the guy.

Dave Choate: No idea, either. San Diego is dumb.

Dave Cariello: The Chargers have a nickname now among Saints fans. We call them our 'farm team' because they've given us Drew Brees and Darren Sproles.

Dave Choate: If you were the Falcons defensive coordinator, you wouldn't have as awesome a mustache as Brian Van Gorder. But how would you stop Sproles as a receiver out of the backfield?

Dave Cariello: To be completely honest, I really don't how know you stop Sproles. No team has really been that successful at it. He's just always involved and he's always picking up at least decent yardage. I'd say he's probably most dangerous in the screen pass department. He hasn't been that impressive on kick and punt returns. What about the Falcons? Michael Turner is a big fear for Saints fans. What's the latest on him?

Dave Choate: He's having his best season since 2008.

Dave Cariello: Ah, crap.

Dave Choate: He just looks rejuvenated to me. He's running all over defenses right now. Obviously he's useless as a receiver-or at least close to it-but Turner's gonna run all day.I'd say at least 25 carries. So it appears we have a runningbackoff.

Dave Cariello: Awwwwww yeah!

Dave Choate: It's on!

Dave Cariello: Like Donkey Kong.

Dave Cariello: Dude, I just checked The Falcoholic and it say's Jon Abraham missed practice. What's the deal!? Is he not going to play!? Please tell me he's not going to play!

Dave Choate: I really don't know. It's non-injury related. So it's possible he's just messily devouring people to get his energy up.

Dave Cariello: There's a good amount of big name players on that injury list, actually. Tony Gonzalez, Sam Baker, Ray Edwards...

Dave Choate: Well, Baker's out. I think most of those guys will end up playing. But you're definitely catching them banged up. Which curdles me blood a bit.

Dave Cariello: Excellent. <Mr. Burns voice>

Dave Choate: How about injuries for the Saints?

Dave Cariello: Not too bad, really. Jonathan Vilma didn't play last week. We'll have to see where he's at this week. Mark Ingram didn't dress either and I think that will probably be the case this week. Other than that, I have to say, the Saints have been pretty lucky thus far this season with injuries.

Dave Cariello: How do you think the Saints defense can best shut down the Falcons offense, since you guys have an effective running game AND passing game?

Dave Choate: Stack up against Turner, without a doubt. And try to shut down Julio Jones.He's the most dangerous option in the offense by far.

Dave Cariello: And just let Roddy White go nuts?

Dave Choate: Well, that's the thing. I think you'd better take your chances with White. As good as he is, he's having a bit of a down year. And he probably isn't going to light you up for 130 yards on two catches like Jones did last week. Probably, anyways.

Dave Cariello: So you guys are all in love with Jones now, huh? You think he's going to have another great game? You guys were playing the Colts, ya know?

Dave Choate: I do. The thing is, he has the talent to do that to any team in the NFL. He's not exactly consistent yet, but do you want to take that chance, Cariello? DO YOU?!

Dave Cariello: Honestly, I think I might.

Dave Choate: Well, fair enough.We'll see what the Saints do. You know, I have a question about Breesus.

Dave Cariello: 11 inches. Wait...what? Sorry, I'd better let you ask the actual question before I start assuming.

Dave Choate: That's a terrifying answer. For so many reasons. So I'm going to pretend you never said it. Ahem...are his interceptions this year due to route running, poor decisions or bad luck? I ask because, well, you know Brent Grimes.

Dave Cariello: Oh, dear. This question might stir some $#!t in Who Dat Nation. Honestly, I'd say it's a little bit of both. A few passes have been completely the fault of his receivers. But Drew has definitely made a couple of bad decisions. His interception last week against Tampa Bay is up for debate. I would say his decision making is definitely not as bad as it appeared to be last year. And if his offensive line can give him plenty of time, that greatly reduces Drew's chances of making a poor throw.

Dave Choate: I should clarify, too, that I don't think he's throwing excessive interceptions or anything. Just curious to see if the Falcons could capitalize at all. It sounds less than completely promising.

Dave Cariello: The Saints are actually -1 in the turnover department this season, so the Falcons will certainly have a chance.

Dave Choate: So you're saying there's a chance? Because I've always wanted to say that.

Dave Cariello: There's always a chance, young grasshopper. Are there any new or young players on the Falcons that Saints fans might not know about but they should?

Dave Choate: Well, there's Matt Bosher.The team's new punter.He sucked earlier this season, but now he sucks less.

Dave Cariello: Ooooooooohhhhh.....

Dave Choate: Also! I'm sure you know the name Sean Weatherspoon. But he has been incredible this season.You'll definitely see him on Sunday. Same question, but in reverse. Since I'm a table turner.

Dave Cariello: I would say Jimmy Graham, but I think that secret is out.

Dave Choate: Yeah, he terrifies me.

Dave Cariello: Other than that, there aren't really too many new players making a splash. Linebacker Jonathan Casillas has really been coming into his own. If Vilma doesn't play, then Jo-Lonn Dunbar could be a factor. Sophomore cornerback Patrick Robinson has shown lots of improvement and might break out one of these games, also.

Dave Choate: I was hoping the Falcons could pick on Robinson. Perhaps not.

Dave Cariello: Well, with Tracy Porter questionable, Robinson would certainly be the better bet over Jabari Greer, who is having a pretty damn good season.

Dave Choate: Back to the drawing board, then. Like I said, though, you'll probably see a lot of Turner.

Dave Cariello: You and Mike Smith better re-think the game plan.

Dave Choate: Yeah, I'm planning on it.

Dave Cariello: Okay, one more question before getting your prediction. It's not even a question really.

Dave Choate: Shoot.

Dave Cariello: Complete this sentence: Every time the Falcons _____, I want to stab my eyes out with a dull object.

Dave Choate: Run the ball up the middle three times in a row.It's the bane of my existence.Because it so infrequently works

Dave Cariello: Hmmm...that so rarely happens with the Saints.

Dave Choate: What frustrates you? Or is everything rainbows?

Dave Cariello: Nah, it's never all rainbows. I would say what is most frustrating is when the Saints defense gives up big yardage on short underneath or screen passes. It's also frustrating to see Pierre Thomas and the other backs run well but not get used effectively.

Dave Choate: It's nice to see some things never change.

Dave Cariello: Truer words were never spoken. Okay, let's close this out with a prediction about the game from you.

Dave Choate: My prediction is that the Falcons take this one. I'll say 27-24, because they're always damn close.I imagine you won't concur.

Dave Cariello: I like the score prediction. Except you've got it reversed.

Dave Choate: I knew you'd be good for a contrary opinion. But you know, I bet it'll be a damn good game.

Dave Cariello: You got that right.

From a defensive standpoint

NO is terrible this year. They are 18th in pass D DVOA and 24th in rush D DVOA. Against the pass they are 22nd in the league against #1 WR’s, 21st against other WR’s, 25th against TE’s and 17th against RB’s. Their overall stats against the run are awful. Their giveaway/takeaway ratio is 26th in the league. ATL can take advantage of their rather poor and pourous defense.

NO’s offense is scary. ATL had better be prepared for some screens. I’m more concerned about screens than any other facet of NO’s passing game.

This is a game ATL can win with ball control offense and getting some pressure on Brees. He has been throwing INT’s again this year and there is no reason why ATL can’t get one or two this weekend.

by mwalex on Nov 11, 2011 8:29 AM EST reply actions 1 recs

I agree with you Mwalex

Our defense is not good. It shows up at times but never consistently. They give up too many yards, points and not getting the takeaways. As far as Brees, hopefully it will not be a pass happy game. They were balanced running the ball last week. 50% running 50% passing.

And you guys are scary as well. If we can’t stop Turner and turn the ball over multiple times, we won’t have the advantage.

And it’s a matter which one will show up and outplay the other. Lack of turnovers will be a huge factor in this game and the run as well.

Whoever can remain the most balanced wins it for me

Pass to run balance, and time of posession, are by far the two biggest factors in my opinion. Brees averages 41 attempts I know, but recently the Saints seem a lot more keen to split run and passing. Falcons got very pass happy to start with but have since settled down. Whoever can stay the most balanced, and win T.O.P, takes it for me.

Well said. There are times when the Saints are pass happy and do well. But more and more defenses are taking away the long ball. That’s what the Saints did so well for a long time. Big plays for TD’s. So they’ve had to make adjustments on running and medium passes. Taking away the long ball is what’s kept more Saints games closer to the wire, and of course…more stressful. The O’line hasn’t been as stout as it used to be, that plays a factor as well.

Man I can’t wait till Sunday!

Yeah that pretty much sums it. There’s so much offensive talent on both teams. And some of the games I was like WTH?? Such and such was open down field or in the flat, how could you not see them? Missed opportunities big time.

The Bucs game at the Bucs, where Brees didn’t see Meachem wide open in the end zone. Wanted to rip my hair out.

You can't say that about our last 3 games.

We were the bottom of the league in pass D in the beginning but since our D line has been healthy we have progressed considerably. We are currently 7 against the run. We simply aren’t the same team we were against Chi, Phi and Tampa. GB doesn’t count, they are just too good.

Rule #1: Double tap.

True. You guys have sparked up the last few weeks. Which makes the NFC South much more interesting. When it boils down to fewer mistakes, the wins start happening. And Julio is starting to show what he can do on the field, he performed solid last week.

the worst nightmare I have is this – we’re up 3 points with under 2 mins to go and give the ball to Brees. and guess what – go prevent defense…. here’s hoping that we finally turned that corner on defense.

Prevent Defense should be banned forever from the playbook. I see so many defenses use it under 2 mins left in the game.

Acutally they don't

check out fairly equally.

ATL pass D DVOA is 4th as is the run D. That is much better than the NO D. ATL takeaway/giveaway is +2, or 12th. ATL has only given up 170 points while NO has surrendered 205, granted NO has played one more game than ATL. The only apparent spot in pass coverate where NO has an advantage is on the #2 WR’s. ATL is 13th in total defense while NO is 27th. ATL and NO have the same number of sacks at 19 which gives ATL a slight advantage in sacks per game. NO has given up close to 300 more rushing yards than ATL and their oppents yards per rush is 5.3 while ATL’s is 4.0.

That doesn’t check out fairly equally.

I didn’t even think our D was even ranked at 27. More like 29. Not good still.

good stats

and I really appreciate all the hard work you put compiling all those stats, mwalex. but actually, stats won’t mean a lot (I’m not saying they’re meaningless though) come the game time. in the past years NO-ATL games have always been competitive no matter how these teams finished their seasons. in 2009 they had an awesome team and we barely hung on to a winning season. and yet, both games were decided by a score or less.

despite the fact that a visiting team won in the past three games in this matchup, I’m hoping the fans show up and create some noise. from what I saw in the Rams game, St Louis fans were able to wreck havoc in NO offensive line.

Lol Jon. I wasn’t aware Brees liked cheese. Brees is not from Wisconsin.

I spent 8 years trying to reach him...and then another 7 trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...Evil.

When we played the Eagles

Alcon decapitated Vick with wolverine claws and when we played the sucs Samuel l Jackson and Alcon got in to a drive by shootout with Ronde Barber. Too funny.

Yeah, the "Dream Team" (Vomits)

That game was wild! And when Vick was pointing at the scoreboard thinking he won the game was totally classless. There was one play where Matt Ryan could have been seriously injured on his leg. It looked like the Eagles were playing dirty that game.

Well according to everyone else we were playing dirty.

We didn’t get any favorable calls by the refs that day. Had we, we would have really put up some points. It was one of the most exciting NFL games I’ve been to. Yeah Vick is a douchebag.

Rule #1: Double tap.

Yeah that was messed up

You know the media just LOVES the “Dream Team”. They can’t do no wrong. And a second chance for Vick at a 100 Mil dollar contract is just sickening. Look whats happening since he was offered that contract. An athlete he’s incredible, A D bag? I couldn’t agree with you more.

Hey Mr J

Yesterday in the injury report I saw two Saints players had stomach listed.You have a clue what that would be?Maybe pulled muscle or stomach flu.Just curious.

by JT131 on Nov 11, 2011 12:28 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

I find it kind of strange too JT. I haven’t heard any updates on it. My guess is pulled muscle.

Hows that?

That means they split the series and have identical conf records….I know there are like 50 scenarios, but what tiebreaker are you referring to?

by Falcons1133 on Nov 11, 2011 2:21 PM EST up reply actions

Unsure right now.

But they win.

either way

Both make it with a 12 and 4 record

by JT131 on Nov 11, 2011 3:23 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

not sure

but from what I can recall it would be their records against common opponents. in the unlikely scenario that both teams have even records and don’t sweep each other, it may come to this tiebreaker. that Chicago game we lost might cost us. that will make little difference, cause we might as well sweep the series this season :)

The saints are always a difficult match up

for any team it doesn’t matter what rank the saints defense is you can bet Gregg Williams will have some sort of crazy new blitzes or a similiar scheme like last years game on monday night football if the saints double JJ and bracket TG and stack the line to stop Turner i would like to see the falcons do alot of heavy play action and throw it to the running backs in the flats or out to the sideline these are the type of games where i would like the falcons try to change up things and use some new plays or formations just for the saints one thing i would like to see is JJ line up in the back field and run a deep wheel route out of the back field and see if Ryan can hit him down the field i would love to see Turner and Rodgers in the same back field that could exploit a mismatch.

by falconpower on Nov 11, 2011 7:05 PM EST reply actions

these teams know each other so well

that I’d be surprised if neither HC has some new plays up his sleeve. if you were to try out something new and not seen on tape, this would be the game.
