Agree.

That technique can work when your DBs are better athletes and can close to make a break up. Players like Tillman and Jones aren't built for that. i think Nick Saban uses teaches the outside leverage technique in man to man. But, you know, he does have better athletes.

That was Chicago, where Josh Norman literally gave Brandon Marshall 7-10 yards cushion with outside leverage all the way down the field. They kicked a FG to win.

Agree on all points. If you can run, but can't pass protect, why not just continue running? CAP was gashing ATL for big gains. The read option was hit or miss. Would add that I hated outside leverage as a CB. Any real DB wants to bump and run, taking away the inside routes and forcing a pass over my head but before the sideline. Matt Ryan was content with the short slant routes and getting first downs. What was the ToP ratio?

I get you're upset that the team lost an opportunity to go undefeated. But to blame it on Cam not caring is probably about as inaccurate as it gets. The falcons played very inspired and it's still possible we see them again in the playoffs. They're not as bad as you all are letting on.

What are you talking about?! I'm seriously embarrassed for and by you. Stop posting!

The falcons are still in the playoff hunt in week 16. Slim hopes, but they could go to the playoffs. Why is everyone acting like it should have been an easy win? They have the best WR in the NFL and he went off today. The falcons defense put a lot of pressure on Cam today. They beat us today, more than we lost it.

Seriously?!

Oh shoot. Dang auto correct. Battle Mutha Fugging Tested!

Alright. Here we go again. Just trying to sew up the MVP today. Battle Mutha Digging Tested!

2 hands. Catch the ball with 2 hands.

Yeah, he made a great attempt. But Julio is one of the best athletes in the NFL - if not THE best athlete.

Good play by Julio! You can't get mad at Luke. He can't compete with Julio with the ball in the air.

Shula has done a good job adjusting the playcalling. Maybe tone down the QB runs/options, but I like the quick plays. Get the ball out of Cam's hands faster.

Some of you guys are really really fickled. These are professionals! The Panthers can not dominate every game! EVERY team has SUPER STAR football players!

Cam is playing all out. I don't think this team is taking the game lightly. The Panthers just played this team 2 weeks ago and completely embarrassed them. Of course, the Falcons were gonna come out swinging. These are the best athletes in the world in the most competitive, ego driven game created. You can actually beat your opponent by physically beating your opponent.

Or a safety.

I actually thought Fozzy should have broke that out instead of trying to dip in first. He was trying to set up the block but he really put Norwell in a bad position with a defender committed to shooting inside.

Ginn will be okay. Catchery with the old man jukes again. His moves are so slow and deliberate but defenders fall for it every time.

Looks like that Coleman hit on Ryan is hurting.

I think they just woke this defense up.

Wow!

I mean that was horrible! He literally grabbed Tillman's leg and tried to scoop him. I guess Tillman should have just let him take out his knee again?

Not sure why Freeman was rocking the baby. You can't just copy everything Cam does. Goodness!

Allen cheated inside and lost contain. Made that way too easy. That's ok. That personal foul was complete BS. They don't score if not for that call.
