I always dread Atlanta games...

The Falcons run D has given up 4.8 yards per carry over the last 3 games (Detroit, Denver, and Carolina).

@FalcnDave - have the Falcon had an injury to their D Line or LBers over the last 3 games that would contribute to this increase in average ypc surrendered?

I expect that as long as the Saints D and special teams are playing well, we will see a heavy dose of run plays from the Saints, with some long play action passing mixed in if the running game is productive.

The Falcons have been without capable DE’s the past few weeks and that will continue throughout the remainder of the year. This has resulted in us being far more aggressive with our LB’ers and safeties. As such, we’ve been vulnerable in the run game....
