If you're interested in looking at formations etc, interesting article on the improvement of the offense and why he thinks we are setting up for a good run.

PS: Disregard article after Sunday loss

I can sum up our improvement in some numbers: 15-30. Combined record of the teams we've beat since our "improvement."

That's being as simplistic as can be. If you read the article, you will know that there's been a shift in the offensive philosophy. Also, since Stewart became the feature back, our running game is vastly improved. I don't think its coincidence.

I like Bucky; good read and all.

 

However, he never took the time to mention Newton buying time and making the proper reads on his own (with out play action and Zone read), such as the big passes to Benjamin, Dixon, Bersin and of course Stewart late in Sunday's games.

 

Those were all on Newton being a pocket QB, looking off the defense, buying time and making the proper throws.

 

Like I said; good article. However, not mentioning these things (though we know Bucky knows, and he's only mentioning the Read Option, motion stuff we haven't always seen much), will only reinforce the erroneous national stereotype that Newton's a RG3 type QB, which he's not.

We are talking about an improvement. Newton has been doing traditional QB stuff all through the season. What was missing was his running game. This article is highlighting why that suddenly makes the offense better because Shula is catering more to it.

Agreed.

 

However, I don't think most of the national audience reading the article reading it knows Cam does/did those things.

 

Plus, when he mentioned Cam standing in the pocket earlier in the season, Brooks failed to mention that's when Newton was arguably playing his best the entire season. He mentioned it. However, he didn't point out that important element of how well he was playing, when he was running very little.

 

It's almost like Brooks was championing for the mobile QB......I get why people do that. However, you still have to give credit where/when credit is do (particularly with Cam in the pocket), otherwise we can't get mad when other folks group Newton into the "mobile" category almost exclusively with the likes of RG3 and Kaepernick.

Honestly....... I'm more worried about the refs allowing the Falcons to play extra physical...........yet throwing a flag on us,  anytime a defender attempts to get physical with one of their WRs/TE. 

 

 

Trufant and company want to push our WRs around?  I'm down for that..  you won't hear a peep out of me about them getting extra physical with our guys,    as long as our defense is allowed to return the favor.

Same thread on the falcons board. Responses are hilarious. Hope we win Sunday.

Only Failcons fans look at losing 3 of their last 5 and 2 of their last 3 as "derp playing sooo much better now"

Lol! Apparently Falcon's fans think we get away with a lot of holding calls?! Only if they knew the truth!

I wish their players thought like their fans.
