Good Job; man!

Do you honestly see the Falcons secondary having success against Graham and Cooks?

I think they can.. I'm willing to bet they'll put Alford on Cooks to match speed & quickness. The book is out on how to neutralize Graham and I think Moore can be that guy. It'll be vital for Kenny Stills to step up big time in this game

Giving Moore too much credit. Your best comments are your closing comments.

Comes down to Ball control, and turnovers. The Saints have the running backs to wear out defenses, this also opens up the passing game. I also think the screen pass will be a big key in this game for the Saints. Now we really haven't seen much of the defense. It was pretty vanilla during the preseason. But we do have two of the best safety's in the league, Something that we have been weak in the past. Picks of course the Saint's will win. 28-17. Watch out for Cooks in this one, and it always seems Colston comes up with big catches against the Dirty Birds...... Who dat

"neutralize Graham"

I can't believe these two words are in the same sentence let along together like that.

|Mitch| · 09-04-2014, 12:01 PM

Hasn't Moore been trying to "neutralize" Graham for the past three seasons? Hasn't worked yet...

I've been anticipating this Em. Nice preview. The Saints are not without their problems and although we have the slight edge, nothing tells me this will be an easy day...

Quick questions for you:

How do you see the Falcon's front 7 dealing with our zone blocking scheme?

Who from the Falcon's D line is a true impact player?

Is Patrick Robinson ready for his next debut or a liability?

Soliai will have to be HUGE factor in this game. The key to stopping the ZBS, in its simplest form, is to get interior pressure (Soliai) while being able to set the edge (OLBs & DEs) allowing ILBs & Alley defenders to make a play at or near the LOS

Good question about the Falcons 'impact' player on D. My guess it is Soliai & Robert Alford

And yep..Robinson is a big time liability. I just hope Rob Ryan finds creative ways to help him. Maybe Zone his side while playing man on the other side
