Its not THAT bad

And let's try and understand why our safeties were lining up deeper than usual.

You have Julio Jones who runs a 4.2, Hester who is really quick, Jaquizz Rodgers who is 4.2...

You play back and limit the big play, giving your defense more opportunities to make plays; it's called a bend but don't break defense.

Sure glad we didn't allow the big play. we might have been able to hold them to 24-27 points................
This loss is on our DC

That worked real well didn't it... oh wait...

You sure as hell don't let fast WR get clean breaks off the line. Bump and run is how you beat guys like Jones. Should have played press-man with a single high safety and a robber safety underneath. That's what worked last year...

The only person who runs a 4.2 on the Falcons is Antone Smith. Hester's 40 doesn't tell you but like you said, we all know he is pretty fast as well.

Lemme rephrase; faster/quicker than most corners/safeties... That's why you play with a cushion

And we bent but didn't br.. oh wait... We broke nearly every single time.

We have played these guys before when they were healthy and our defense was bad, and yet we still played much better in those games than we did in this game. You don't play that far back. It doesn't matter how fast someone is. We have speed too. If you play that far back, they will bleed you to death, which is exactly what happened. There were a couple of big plays downfield, but it was mostly intermediate crap and there were no defenders in sight.
