We got to get after these birds tonight early and often. Make Matt Ryan run for his life.

Hope Turk McBride play tonight. Im calling out our front four tonight.

Lets go SAINTS!!

Yeayouright. Matty poo loses it when he is pressured.

Is McBride a good pass rusher?
 
I expect that if it's 3rd and less then 3, maybe even 5 depending on the field, that the Falcons will go for it on 4th down. A lot. They absolutely do not want to give Drew the ball on downs because they know they can't keep up in a shoot out. The defense will have to keep them in 3rd and longs to make going for it on 4th down less attractive. They'll probably drop a safety or linebacker over/under Jimmy, but that should open up routes over the top for the receivers, or underneath for the backs. I have a feeling that Harry Douglas is going to be a pain. If we can keep Turner from running well, the defense can pin it's ears back and blitz "Floor Matt" Ryan into submission. At least I hope so.

Yep. They'll want to keep down and distance manageable. And they REALLY don't want the crowd noise to become a factor, esp on those 3rd and longs!

Not really, but he seemed to be our best pass rusher when he was playing. It could be a different story at this part of the season though.

McBride was our most effective pass rusher the early part of this season. He had 2 sacks in just 3 games.
 
I thought McBride played well enough in the limited snaps we saw. I just hope he hasn't forgotten how quick the refs are hammering us on roughing calls and keeps his composure tonight.
