Week 5: Jets (2-2) at Falcons (1-3) KO 8:40pm EST

Maybe the DL can just take Ryan out. Who's their backup anyway?

Edit: Some guy named Dominique Davis.

He was the QB at East Carolina for a few years.  Pretty decent, but nothing special.  Pretty sure he's never played a down in the NFL.

Now they're asking trivia questions to a shirtless Jeremy Kerley.

"This might be the worst trivia I've ever had."

I am banking on the fact that we can get after Ryan with just a 4 man rush tonight.  Is there any reason we shouldn't be able to do that?  I don't know much about the Falcons OL.

Their offensive line isn't very good at all.  I just worry that Ryan will attack Walls and Wilson, and they'll hold his receivers.

Free yardage.

Our DL should dominate tonight.  I'm worried about our offense and our #2 and #3 corners.

I have been telling people that Atlanta doesn't have much of a line, and I was laughed at.  I was calling for a Zone coverage scheme with Cro Walls playing man.

So you want the corners to play man and then the backers and the safeties play zone? 

Matt Ryan would check down all day.  Tony Gonzalez would kill us over the middle.

Rex will never put Cromartie in zone either.

5 guys to cover the holes for 3 keys.  I will take my chances vs letting Davis/Harris/Allen/Jarrett cover Gonzalez.

Edit:  Again this is assuming we can hurry ryan with a 4 man rush.

Ryan will attack the hell out of a zone with our personnel, especially outside the hashes.  Wideouts can clear-out and backs/tight ends will be in great position outside against a slower backer. 

Against a team with lesser talent at wideout and quarterback, this isn't a bad idea...but Douglas and Gonzalez will kill a zone loaded with backers and box safeties.

I am premising this whole idea on hurrying Ryan, which I think is a strong possibility.

Well 2 analysts are picking the Jets.  I guess that's something.  Dikta and Key

Another bonus of watching the game on PIX, no bullshit chick country theme song getting shoved down my throat.

Impressive gesture from Smith last week.  Apologized individually to each defensive player for his play.

well at least they opted to receive first

Like our defense to set the tone not the O
