Haven't watched the game yet, but man, that's a stark difference. Guess I was wrong - Kittle missing wasn't just a problem, it was THE problem.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, also to my eyes it looked like Hennessey was an upgrade over Brendel. 61 was more consistently with his blocking.
DeleteScooter,
DeleteWithout a doubt Kittle makes a big difference but Atlanta's run D is pretty bad and they lost one of their inside LBs early in the game. I think the Texans will be a much better test of Kittle's effect on the run game. They have the #7 run D in the NFL.
OldCoach, we're missing guys up the ying yang and you're making excuses for Atlanta missing one of their inside LB's? 😂
DeleteReading a few reports about the run game this week and sounds like another key factor was changing it up to be far more focused on power/ gap scheme this week.
DeleteI predicted a win based on Kittle's run blocking lifting the offense, and Saleh's young defense being able to limit the Falcons' running game followed by use of well-timed blitzes to rattle Penix. It's impressive how well this relatively inexperienced defense is playing. I expect the D to travel well on the next two road games.
ReplyDeleteThat was my comment above.
