the falcons db's have to put pressure on the eagles receivers... not too hard, as the panthers did it last year... guess we'll see if d'angelo hall is the real deal or not this weekend. right now, i don't think he's the real deal (as he was absolutely smoked by randy moss in preseason before the hip injury, a game i attended  ). |
the falcons problem is not vick, it's not the fact that they will run on any given play. it's the receivers who fail to get open with any consistency. you can't expect a guy to pass the ball to receivers who can't get open.
the eagles rushed vick, stayed in their lanes, keeping him in the pocket... and no receivers are open, of course the guy's going to get sacked.
the falcons need to draft a legitimate wide receiver and/or make a play for a free agent veteran.
