Can The Pass Rush Get It Done Against The Saints?

if J. Abraham and R. Edwards continuously “blow up” both side of the OL ALL night and Bab’s and Spoooooooooons can get good penetration up the middle.

But then again, don’t we wish for this every game…?? Sigh…

But hey, at least our front 4 has it’s confidence up right now. The extra few days could help maybe with checking out their blocking patterns, but ultimately I think it just comes down to designated blitz. Brees will eat our zone alive anyway (I’m expecting 5 Colston over the middle for 20+ this week), so we may as well just send a lot of guys to try and force a bad throw or lay a hit on the guy. If it works 1/20 times, that’s better than we’ll get from sitting back in coverage 20 times.

Blaine Gabbert stood there like a statue and the jags don’t exactly have a top OL. And besides that game, we haven’t really gotten to the QB well at al this year. Add the fact that Drew Brees has maybe the fastest relaese in the NFL AND we’ve played a rookie QB 5 weeks in a row now, I think were in for a rude awakening unfortunately. Brees is gonna have about 350 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT.

if ATL wants to win the game. Not so much sacks but hits and pressure.

I would consider changing up the D for a large portion of the game. I’d run a 4-2-5 with three safeties. And on every play have either Spoon or Moore blitzing the QB. If you blitz Spoon move Moore up for run support. Screens might be an issue but I’d risk it until there was a reason not to.

If we plan to win. I don’t think BVG will blitz Brees for fear of getting beat deep. I think peters and Babs need to get pressure up the middle more than Abe and ray on the outside. Brees without a pocket to step into is way easier to defend.

If we apply different blitz packages, disguise our coverages so that my 9 yr old nephew cant decifer them & just go aftetr him. We dont need sacks, we just need to make him feel like a recovering alcoholic in a liquor store. Uneasy & uncomfortable!

The Falcons will have to get pressure, not necessarily sacks. The pressure will force Brees to make bad, wild passes, get sacked, or cause him to throw it away. I’m still having the thought that Bress is going to make a lot of short passes. The good thing about that is that we’ll have Grimes and Robinson back on the field for that.

They have to harass Drew Brees if they are going to have success stopping the saints.I think the Falcons should try some different looks like some 46 defense and maybe a hybrid 34 defense at times on 3rd down hybrid 34 i mean 3 linebackers william moore as the 4th linebacker and 3 d-line men maybe using 2 de and 1 dt or mix it up with 2 dt or 1 de and stand everybody up at the line so makes Brees have to guess who is coming and from where.Another key stopping the saints on 3rd down last game the Falcons did a good job against the saints on 1st and 2nd down but couldn’t get off the field on 3rd down.

we played the Saints very well da 1st game. We completely shot down their run game. And now with our offense clicking i say Falcons win 38-27

We were a true bend but don’t break D for the most part that day. The offense(MM)lost us the game…along w/Smitty of course. That’s not gonna work this time around. What little home field advantage we had last game will be thrown back at us tenfold. Monday night game in NO…U think we’re gonna get a single call? Our guys have their work cut out for them.

Zero pressure this time around isn’t gonna cut it nor will our patented “no pressure” blitzes, nor will our “let’s tackle him shoulder high so he can just shrug us off!” sack technique.

Dear Atlanta,
The New Orlean Saints ARE your worse nightmare come true. Your quarterback will not get a good nights sleep. Everytime he closes his eyes, he will see Saints coming at him, when he hands the ball off in his dream, a Saint will be there to take the ball. There will be no-one down field to throw the ball to, only Saints. You will look to find your faithful fans for support but, only see WHO DATS! The Dome will be a living, breathing creature that will suck the soul out of your team then spit it out into the Big Muddy, where it belongs. Your defense players will wake up screaming at night form being unable to to stop the Four Horsemen(Sproles, Ingram, Ivory and Thomas) They will only be able to watch as balls sail over their heads as Breesus takes them on a ride from a frozen hell. When the clock finally runs out on you, you will return to Atlanta to your “faithful fans” and they will eat you alive. Bring it on, we are waiting for you.

As I’m sure Smitty would confirm with that cliche, this is the goal for nearly every D is against the Saints. They will score points, but you can’t let them get the big-play TDs. Make them have to work for it. I won’t mind if we don’t hit Brees once as long as we keep the score manageable and play well on offense.

(I hate speaking about the Aints’ offense in such glowing terms, but facts are facts. I think Brees is the best QB in the NFL and his offense has been damn good for a while. That being said, I’d rather hit him twenty times and see Chase Daniel trying to lead a comeback from a 35-10 deficit.)

As well as win the turnover battle too. Putting pressure on Brees is somewhat important but not critical to a win. We must tackle on the short passes and stop their running game. Put them into 3rd and longs and come up to make the tackles on screens and short passes. Don’t give up the big play TD, like 50 or more yard TD passes, and I think we can win it, as long as we do these things and the team comes to play. If they don’t show up from the first snap we’re toast!!

LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
