BayAreaLennie Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Moe Greene said: they blitzed him relentlessly and he made them pay almost every time. If you use the typical definition of a blitz being at least 5 pass rushers, the Falcons did not actually do much of that. But they rushed 4 a lot and did a lot of things to disguise who was rushing, including doing a lot of stunts and semi-stunts, e.g., circling a linebacker or defensive back as the 4th rusher into a gap that was the not the natural gap for that player. All of that was clearly designed to test Hurts' ability to read and react to all of it, and he aced the test just about every time. That is an extremely important aspect of playing QB in the NFL, and it was very encouraging to see him handle it so seamlessly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw somewhere that they have 2 of their starting D-Linemen out. Birds will still lose though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Now 3 of the starting 5 are out. Revolving door on the O Line just like last year. Doesn't bode well for the remaining games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierdaddy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 yep, this unit has talent, but as usual, they can't stay healthy 5 starters: 1 out for the season, another basically out for the season, another currently hurt, another it's just a matter of time before he gets hurt, and a stalwart centerpiece in the middle who will probably retire at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team can afford to lose 1 maybe 2 starters because they do have decent depth along the OL. But when it gets to 3 and more it is just impossible.

He was a solid back up 🙂 But I see your point. Driscoll should be back soon as well. We have def more depth as compared to last year. Just no more season ending injuries and we should be ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iladelphxx Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Screen grabbed this from the Baldy Breakdown on a play when Mailata lined up at TE next to Dillard. Look at the size difference...... Crazy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
