I expect lots of zone coverages from ATL with a spy for Taysom to see if he can make the reads for the correct throw.

This is definitely going to be interesting...

That was my thinking too, play to his strengths and have a few designed rollouts.

Get him away from the pressure and the bootlegs always seem to work against us, maybe we should try a few with Taysom.

Hopefully the run game can take some pressure of him and allow him to hit some easy passes.

Of course, y'all are believing all of the speculation that Taysom will actually be the primary QB tomorrow. Some of the talking heads are already backtracking on those completely unsubstantiated rumors.

Yea, you the old saying no news is bad news in the press world. I think jameis starts and hill will come in here and there. Prolly a 70/30 split

I believe it. I think Payton knows it’s time to see if Taysom is the real deal or not.

He's done everything the coaches have asked from him and more. He's succeeded. He's excelled. He's the ultimate team player. I won't be shocked when he kicks a**.

I’d rather them start hill against Denver. Atlanta is gonna throw everything and the kitchen sink against us regardless of their record. It’s their Super Bowl

Gotta hope Taysom goes through his progressions. You can't simply take off and run at the most important position in football.

He won't last at QB doing that.

To be continued.

Time stamp starting around 1:40 ...

Most likely an agent, likely for Jameis...

We may see him overtrusting his line and taking a few sacks, he'll need to learn to chuck the ball, minimize down and distance, and live for a 3rd and manageable...
