When you have that size and speed - against our tough but smaller linemen - it presents a problem.

Generally its tough for QB's to know where pressure is coming from or what kind of defense a team is in.

The four linebackers give defensive coordinators so much flexibility with their speed and locations on the field, it also makes it tougher to read substitutions, as far as running goes it allows a defense to react quickly to the holes.

But our biggest problem with those big 3-4 guys has been controlling the line of scrimmage.

They can't get push to open lanes and they can't hold a pocket. Even when they form a pocket they are as far back as Ryan drops by the time he is.

They were moved like rag dolls this weekend.

Very true, the 3-4 also allows you to use really big bodies up front who cause smaller quicker offensive lines to seem like David vs Goliath.

Even after the recent Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have noticed a large number of people implying with bad jokes that Cajuns aren't smart. I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment. Anybody that would build a city 5 ft . below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats is a damn genius .

any questions?! When are the Falcons going to get serious about bringing in a guy who is a proven coach and leader of men, not a 3 team burnout!!!

Wow.... tell me again why Smith and TD hired this guy?? Is he married to a cousin of Smith's or was a roommate of Brian Billicks once??

If youll read through the thread, Radical already cleared up this information as being completely false.
