I kinda get Nick Toon vibes watching Dixon.

Big, possession guys who can keep the chains moving.

That's a jinx if I ever saw one... Toon was a bust, father Al Toon's genes didn't help. Colston is more like it.

Damn, my fault Dixon.

Don't want to jinx the guy. He has the ability and I hope he does well.

Re watched the game. I agree with Maddy.

Safety - Justin Evans performed well.

It's hard to rack up sacks when you are getting three and outs. I know they didn't actually go "three and out", but the Texans were really unable to do much of anything on offense until the final two minutes of the game.

Do you ever read your nonsense back to your self?

Two people commented about a lack of pass rush before I commented and that was the basis of what I found troubling. I should do like you and go find supporting tweets before forming a matching opinion? Why you feel the need to address me is truly beyond me.

You do not understand the difference between fundamentals and skills don't you (sorry, no you do not)? Fundamentals are taught in peewee and skill is what gets you into the NFL.

Wait... What lol???? Again proving that without Twitter you have absolutely zero clue about the game. 'linemen need to know where the QB is to protect him'... 99% of the comments on the Falcons boards exhibit a greater understanding of football than that sh1t.

I know EXACTLY what I am talking about, Oak. Part of the OT's job is to keep the pocket intact from the outside. When the QB leaves the security of the pocket (ie. dropping back too far) the OT cannot see behind him that the QB is too far back and what would normally be herding the rusher around the back of the pocket can lead the rusher directly to the out of place QB.

I don't know how many times I have heard about inexperienced QB's not properly utilizing the pocket. It's hard to imagine you haven't heard the same with your extensive knowledge.

Besides, iceshack was the one that pointed this out first if you would have taken the time to read the posts. My reply was just agreeing with his post.
