****Official Atlanta Falcons Thread ****

[Trapstar4.4]

Wanting to see Lamar homes vs Courtney Upshaw. Holmes didn't do terrible vs the online the line defenders last week but the second level gave him trouble. From what I hear Upshaw starts in place of Dumervill for run purposes kind of like he for Jarrett Johnson. So I'm hoping to see Homes actually block a teams designated SLB.

How will the pass rush do vs a non elite oline. Osi and company ripped through Whitworth and Smith. Hoping to see the same vs a less than stellar oline.

Flaccos loves the deep ball so hopefully we'll get to see him at least test Trufant or Alford once deep. Would love to see how Alford could run vs Torrey Smith

For the love of god Dent, James, Banks somebody anybody take the last LB spot with force.

Typos everywhere phuck this phone

Fck man that's what I'm yelling. There is so much opportunity at that last position. I would have been busting my ass all off season to grab one of those LB positions early. Even if it means paying whatever LB I idolize to help.

Those guys have to play smart though. Hopefully somebody steps up.

- I'll be looking at Trufant, to see if he is worthy to be starting over Alford.
- the RT battle. Hell Ill be playing close attention to the whole Oline
- I want to see more out of Maponga and Malliciah Goodman.
- Davis looked good last preseason, so I expect for him to step it up
- Would like to see Banks in Pass coverage, he made all the right reads against the run, but that was garbage time in the 4th quarter.
- Looking to see Bartu in pass coverage, and if Worrilow can keep it up for another week.
- 1 thing I noticed, and see no one talking about concerning Worrilow, is that he looked lost at times. I saw him catching running backs when there was a 1v1 in holes. I would like to see him attack.

edit: Also, if someone has a good stream feel free to post it. I'm stuck with firstrowsports for now.

Yeah I expect Davis to bounce back also. Based on his sample that goes back to last preseason, last week appeared to be an anomaly. I hope this is the case.

And your worrilow concern might explain why he is still very low on the depth chart.
Although I'm sure it's also due to coaches not getting excited over flash in the pan performances in garbage time. They probably saw the same thing tht u did

One thing im liking about Jackson is that each step is meaningful , if that makes sense

Towards the end we didn't see that from turner

[SKHorne]

SJax making some joocy runs. Lol at all these flags

yup, Oline and Jackson are looking a lot better. The 1st game was a little embarrassing

Good to see.except for that last third down. Holmes got fcking destroyed. I almost wonder if he even got a hand on DUmervil.

[SKHorne]

well...that didnt look good

[NoS_oUtLaSt]

Wow... terrible angle by Moore. Burning out vet corner. Trufant not being able to get off the block at all. Ugly ugly play.

On second look it looks like bad zone coverage with a terrible wiff by Moore and Trufant not even trying to pursue because it was opposite side of the field.

[SKHorne]

Dumervil's acceleration was incredible

[drvillain]

hnnghhh Steven Jackson

[Trapstar4.4]

Dumervil's acceleration was incredible

True, huge advantage they have with him on third down

I like what I'm seeing right now.
They score on a busted play, and we march down field easily with a pass run mix.

Fckig sick and without roddy
That's picking up from last year with improvement showing against a great front 7

Now to see if our defense can prevent getting marched on

[ColdSteelToFace]

Ryan looks fking great... Wow

[drvillain]

okay, Matt Ryan looks fantastic. Great response by the O

[SKHorne]

that was a very, very good drive

[Trapstar4.4]

Defense responds with a 3 and out

Strong run defense. Okay our guys clearly put in work over the past week. Keep it moving

[NoS_oUtLaSt]

So SJ doesn't completely suck when he gets some room to accelerate first. Should really get some acceleration room once we can really spread sideline to sideline with Tony G coming back.

I see ya Kevin Cone. Might be more than training camp hype

[JaZart]

Fukk everytime I see the pocket break down I hold my breath.

[SKHorne]

Defense looks hawt. Except for that 1 big play, Ravens have only had 1 first down

[NoS_oUtLaSt]

Lamar Holmes watch results in Lamar Holmes letting Arthur Jones absolutely burn him inside to wrap up Rodgers for the loss. Very next play Arthur Jones pushes Holmes backwards leaving a big hole for the blitzing Arthur Brown.




Yeah I'm losing faith even faster in Holmes.

[drvillain]

I hate these announcers...

[drvillain]

I really hope Bab plays like this during regular season

[Trapstar4.4]

Yeah babs making plays out there

Fcking Holmes man... The coaches can't be happy with him about right now

We may end up shopping once roster cuts start going down. Correct? What say ye?
If everybody else is picking it up, but u have this Achilles heel of a starter.

Well either way, dress rehearsal next week. He has to figure it out FAST

[SKHorne]

I really hope Bab plays like this during regular season

Think i've heard babs and McClains name the most so far from the D

[SKHorne]

2am, work in 3.5 hours fml think its time to call it a night. Sucks I wont see the new guys. I hope Alford has a hell of a game

[drvillain]

Someone must have told Dominique Franks that his job was on the line

You mean Dom Davis? He is looking much better than last week. Overall, we're looking so much more polished and capable. Hard to overthink preseason games, but this is making me angus feel a little more comfy.


Edit: lol wtf am I thinking you were right. They're both doing well.

Yeah I'm trying to keep it cool.
My overarching hope was that we get confirmation, that's once again this team is going to be tough to beat week in and week out. Not a huge shocker, but you really want to see that the guys still have their sht together.

I think it's funny how everyone especially in fantasy football is sleeping on the Baltimore defense.

Dumervile is an upgrade from the overrated Kruger and Brown at MLB is a good athlete and should hold his own. They still still be above average top 12 NFL D on that side of the ball.

Doom is pretty overrated himself. Still sitting behind Upshaw in base packages because neither him or Kruger could play the run to save their children. And as much as I loved Brown coming out of the draft he still isn't starting either and only comes in for their nickel packages.

Still like the Ravens defense a lot but their defense still needs some jel time. Gonna have to use situational personelle a lot more than they did in previous years but they still have a nasty front 4 when they use that look.

[Forumite]

LOL glad to see the Ravens come back. Was afraid we were going to buck the trend of losing in the preseason.

First team offense and defense looked good.

[TooLateForRoses]

went thrifting saturday and got a good condition alge crumpler and warrick dunn jersey for $10 each. Score. Might resell them at a markup on craigslist to fund a nice black julio jersey.
