New Coaches Getting Fast Results With Falcons, Broncos, Jets
In Kyle Shanahan’s offense, the importance of receivers blocking is well known.
On defense, the Falcons employed more Cover One than they had the past three weeks. Even with his displeasure, White won’t approach the coaching staff to voice his frustrations but wants them to know that he has more left in the tank, per Bleacher Report. “The safety was out of the middle of the field”.
Since the Falcons defensive backs were playing so well in man coverage, Ryan Mallett was forced to throw into tiny windows whenever the Falcons used Cover One. The Falcons win by using a lot of offense and hope for just enough defense. “We asked each coach to kind of come up with a thing or two for the players, what’s an area where you can improve upon and let’s make that the emphasis going forward”. The Texans have a short week as they play division rival Indianapolis Colts at home on Thursday.
Reed was brought Atlanta to set the edge and get after the passer.
In the end, a new coach can only go as far as his players will take him. They’ve already beaten two teams with double-digit victories last season in the Cowboys and Eagles, although the Cowboys were without Tony Romo and Dez Bryant.
Houston, like a handful of other teams (Cleveland, Buffalo, St. Louis), tried to pattern itself after the Seahawks/Panthers – relying on strong defense, an abundance of takeaways and adequate quarterback play – but things have not gone as planned. I just have to handle my business and what I can do; be the best football player I can be. Alford played well in this scheme, matching up nicely across from DeAndre Hopkins when he lined up across from him. “His toughness, his (ability to) finish”.
White had his streak of 130 games with a catch in games that he played in stopped against the Giants. Atlanta came into the game well prepared to counteract the devastating pass rush that those two can generate. Falcons tackles Ryan Schraeder and Jake Matthews did a good job of Watt.
Everyone suspected that the game between the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans would be one to watch. Mirrored passing concepts are simply the same route combinations being run on the opposite sides of the field.
With no real threat from the running game, the Panthers’ offense is all on Cam Newton. The Texans have actually been getting quite a bit of help from their quarterback Ryan Mallett than many fans have anticipated. “We’ve been winning that way for a very long time, so we’ve got to be consistent”. Alfred Morris leads the Redskins in rushing with 261 yards and Jordan Reed and Pierre Garcon each have 24 receptions. No matter how much pride I had and how much I think I had, when you walk in with a ring, that’s pride.
Reason to be excited: The offensive line is coming together better than expected.
By the sound of it, he’s extremely angry at the lack of balls being thrown his way.
