Their pick your poison is just that bit much better than ours because of their run game. Foster and Tate in the back field both receivers also. They have a very good quarterback a tight end and a solid group of receivers led by Andre Johnson. They run well and pass well.

Houston is a Julio Jones opposite Johnson away from being one of the toughest teams to play against. Atlanta should have been set to be that way this year and could still be if our ground game ever shows up. But just as our pass game is dynamic so to does our run game need to be. When you can split 400 yards between you rush and pass game it makes a far better football team. Forget amount fantasy but when production is coming from both sources consistently and equally at a high level. That is fantastic football that's what we need to get to I think that is the new trend in football. It requires unselfish players to buy into the system. To put their own glories and career achievements aside to bring in championships.

I completely agree. That's why I think if the Falcons can land a back like Andre Ellington who runs with both power and speed and can catch it too we would be so much better offensively.
