Falcons: Atlanta Falcons MVP?

I disagree that we have become a bad run defense. We went up against Houston who have 2 backs that are a pain to find and then to bring down. They had to run it a lot to get the yardage they did and zone blocking schemes are an absolute bitch to play against because it forces everyone to read and react otherwise you can over pursue and get locked in. The scheme itself secures positive yardage before the player has because it kills penetration.

The panthers didn't ever really run on us. They had some runs here and there where someone slips through and picks up a few but we stayed in control of that.

Jaguars, have you seen MJD's work load and output this year. He has flat out been tearing it up. He is a slippery back and a powerful and fast one too. The very definition of what I hope the future holds for Rogers. He had some runs in that game you expect a guy like that to have but they never came easy for him. Football us a two way street you tackle a guy some go down. Some fight you tooth n nail and get a little more. Look at Julio he got tackled about 6 yards short but just like against LSU he drove the pile on his own against DBs LBs and I think one Dlineman and almost came up with the first.

What I do agree with you on is that the long run we got scorched for was not acceptable is that was a 10 yard rush or even 15 that would have been acceptable to considering who the back is. Of everyone had done their Job but he still got the yardage he did I would be annoyed but understanding because sometimes people just make plays. But nope a player missed their assignment and left a pretty nice gap and the messed up. Mistakes have to be kept to a minimum, and Moore did well to track from his side of the field to get over and bring MJD down. I think he is rounding the corner more and more into a playmaker but also a reliable cornerstone. That hit he put on MJD in my eyes was exactly what you needed I string hit that slowed the back straight away but Aldo a wrap which stopped him from going further and allowed team mates to swarm to the ball. Last season Moore may have come in and brought the hammer he could have whiffed of delivered it and not dropped the guy. He has learned when and when not to and that is important.
