Let's talk Falcons

With Pitts and Bijan, this could be stern test for the LB room. Could also be a coming out party for Conner and Hicks.

I think we'll actually do much better.

Because I think we'll scheme it completely differently. I feel like we'll let Williams/Watson do the heavy lifting against London since Drake isn't really the kind of WR that will give them problems. He's big and physical - so are they.

So it should free up McDuffie to be a little more varied. I also don't think we'll be running as much of the Cover 6 stuff that leaves those flats open.

Again, I really think scheme has made our LBs and SSs look worse than they are. Don't get me wrong, Bolton, Tranquill and Reid ARE getting beat, but they're also being put in in credibly difficult spots and sometimes they're just getting blamed for a scheme failure.

I think we scheme this game differently and the results should reflect it.

Agreed. I don't think we have some great weakness covering TE's and backs. I think schematically we've picked our poison.

Im more worried about our offense being able to consistently move the ball.
