Quote:For me its the defense and defensive gameplan this game. Martin is good but jesus telvin,cyp and armbrister all took turns taking terrible angles and generally seemed to be running into blocks not even looking for Martin.


House,Mccray,gratz,brown were all washed and folded today. They show zero ability to jump a route and our soft zone just backpedal while the WRs run in breaking routes gameplan doesnt help. Watch how our CBs always turn their hips inside and backpedal to the sidelines every snap. Teams have been running posts in the vacated spot all season.

 

Its the same scheme that the Seahawks run, and no one complains about their defense. The Falcons are running similar scheme now too, and their defense is improved.

 

The Seahawks have a good front four, and pro bowlers in their secondary. They can rush with their front four, cover with their LBs, and and the secondary can play run or pass.

 

The Falcons now have a pass rush and drafted a stud CB in Trufant.

 

Meanwhile, our front four can't rush, and our LBs can't cover. I still think the DBs are OK, but their jobs are being made more difficult from the inadequacies of the front 7

 

Its a simplistic scheme, yes, but its supposed to allow players to play fast AND smart. So far, our guys are just playing fast but not smart resulting in bad angles.
