I love that we can curse
Yeah, that cold be a possibility if Derrick Anderson wasn't their starting QB. Accuracy? Nope. Pocket presence? Nope. Rocket arm that will hit it's target about 1/3rd of the time? Check.
They really should be trying to run the ball more unless they fall behind.

I'm really excited to see Willy Mo in a game time environment. I would absolutely love for us to have him and DeCoud to be the anchors in our secondary for this generation. And if they can build a tandem chemistry it would be great to see Atlanta have a no fly so then on the back end of the D.

Whether this is good or bad, I'm still not really sure. Excited to see what happens though.
I think Moore has a lot more burst to the ball than Coleman at this point in both of their careers.
The Falcons probably could have used that on the deep cross against Coleman and the Mendenhall TD.
Regardless, it's about time to get a look at what the guy can do.

Agreed. Plus I would rather play it safe with Coleman and see what the new guy can do for a game, as opposed to get Coleman's injury aggravated and see what the new guy can do for an extended period of time.

I think this is the sort of game where bringing Moore in would be good. He isn't going up against an Elite QB, I personally feel that Anderson on a good day is serviceable in that O. But with the way our D has started to show itself (and I hope it continues) serviceable won't cut it. If Moore is the perceived upgrade that flashes of him are revealing him to be, this Sunday could be a good day for him in Atlanta

I want to see Moore start but on other side of me, i dont... Im afraid that he'll make some mistakes that could lead us to an 0-2 start .

Moore has more speed than Coleman. He also seems to have a little bit of that Lawyer Milloy in him that likes to come up and hit somebody. But he has almost no game experience and will likely make some mental mistakes and get caught out of position. He might be doing a little more thinking than reacting early on in the game. So when he does this, the fans do not need to come out and say he is a bust after one game.
That being said, I think he would have caught Mendenhall in the game the other day and tackled him before he scored in OT.

Was it my imagination or did Coleman lay some wood in his first year here? Maybe that was Lawyer Milloy's influence...

I'd love to see him in there making those huge hits. I'm not sure about his coverage skills, but he can lay the wood.
You can memorize the playbook and be ace on the practice field, but nothing can replace game day experience.

He did. I'm not sure why (even though the same thing happened when he was a Jet), he didn't really make the best transition from FS to SS. His coverage was actually better at FS. He's a great player to have, but at some point we gotta see what type of potential Moore has. Coleman may be relegated as a great backup for both safety spots.
