What happened in the game last night?

This was the Falcons’ super bowl. It’s the first game of the season so they can spend all training camp preparing for this game. They showed their cards and still lost. They didn’t blitz after we picked up just one of their blitzes. They knew it was too risky. They only have one good corner in AJ Terrell but once Michael Thomas got his groove back Terrell couldn’t guard him. If they double teamed Thomas then Olave and Landry get open.

They had some good tricks but once they ran out of disguises Jameis lit them up.

On offense we had too many heavy packages that played into their hands. I think it’s just programming from last year when we lacked weapons. All three of our top 3 receivers were essential to getting us the win. And I think this is what we should expect going forward. Pass to set up the run.

We need to look at how Minnesota uses Justin Jefferson and apply that to Olave. Put him in motion a lot. It’s going to be hard to double team CGM if Olave and Landry are making plays.

And something has to be done about Kamara’s most popular route. It’s very expected and defenses are guarding him with DBs. Fake the option out and zig back in. And add more routes to his tree!
