Trader Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 ... Against the pass. 28th against the run. 30th in scoring. It's about more than the pass rush folks they need multiple players on D. Not just a situational player or a pass rusher. 467 rushes for 4.8 yards per rush. 321 passes for 7.7 yards per pass. That means a lot of 2nd and 5's and thirds and shorts. Not many sacks are generated on third and three or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 ... Against the pass. 28th against the run. 30th in scoring.

That means a lot of 2nd and 5's and thirds and shorts. Not many sacks are generated on third and three or less. Depressing stats. However, it's all centered on a lack of a pass rush. Fix that and you'll more than likely see the other numbers improve substantially. We have serviceable CBs and damn fine safeties. I'd like to see first four rounds of the draft focused on OLB (we need two), offensive line and TE. Pick up a star WR, and maybe a CB in FA.
