Falcons: Pass Rush

[NCFalconfan]

Anyone ever noticed back several years ago when we were one of the better pass rushing teams in the league, we were also one of the worst at stopping the run? I think our line has been taught to watch for the run first, or read and react rather than a pin your ears back and go after the QB defensive line. Granted, the rush on obvious 3rd downs last week wasn't up to snuff either, but don't too obsessed with sack stats. IMO, the sign of a good D-Line is if they can stonewall the run. The pass rush on obvious passing situations on 3rd downs could be better mind you , but I think that if everyone not named Weatherspoon on our LBing core would raise their game in pass defense, you'd see our defense vastly improve.
