26CornerBlitz Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 @SalSports Falcons safety Ricardo Allen still hadn't cleared concussion protocol as of Thursday. If he can't play, that's an important loss for them We'll get both team's official report later but its looking more and more likely both LB Vic Beasley and DE Courtney Upshaw could be out.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Alexander can fill in at DE as well. Would like to have Shaq but won't worry if he's out. Yarbrough has looked decent so far in his limited time.  Plus you would think the $100 million dollar man in and Shaq out would still be a net positive for a defense. At least you would hope. Week 4: Keys to Falcons-Bills matchup (5:45)  These ATL analysts say Shady is on the downside of his career. Falcons vs. Bills: Red-zone play crucial, Bills' secondary gelling, 4 more things to know    Not even close to reality as we know. Shady literally should have had zero or negative rushing yards in the last game. He made chicken salad out of chicken you know what against Denver. Bills line has been allowing the least amount of yards gained before contact. Good news is Atlanta defense is giving up the third most yards per rush in the league at 4.8 I think the run game gets going this week. It will at least be a whole lot better than it was the last two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Â Not even close to reality as we know. Shady literally should have had zero or negative rushing yards in the last game.

It will at least be a whole lot better than it was the last two weeks. Â I'd like to preface what I'm about to say that I think Shady is an amazing RB and even though he was stuffed in the running game his receptions were invaluable to our win. Â Having said that, there were plenty of plays where lost yardage that he could have made minimal gains or have gotten to the LOS, but rather attempted to bounce it out and as a result lost more yardage. Do you believe that Tolbert was able to get 3.7 yards a carry that game on 11 carries because the Broncos didn't anticipate him running the ball? The reason why Tolbert was more effective running the ball was because he was more north south with his approach. Â Basically I disagree with the underlined part up above. But I do agree with your larger point that the offensive line has been porous in the ground game over the past 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would we? Tolbert is strictly a north to south runner. If we only called north to south running plays with McCoy I'm sure he would likely have a much better average in the last game.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Falcons rule out three starters for Sunday’s game FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – The Falcons will be without five players -- three of whom are starters -- on Sunday when they take on the Buffalo Bills (2-1) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Ryan Schraeder (concussion), Ricardo Allen (concussion), Vic Beasley (hamstring), Courtney Upshaw (ankle/knee) and Terron Ward (neck/shoulder) have all been ruled out. Ty Sambrailo will fill in for Schraeder at right tackle as he has the previous two games. Atlanta’s first-round draft pick, Takkarist McKinley, will take Beasley’s place again. McKinley recorded his first career sack and played over 50 snaps at defensive end during the 30-26 win over the Lions in Week 3. Rookie Damontae Kazee will fill in for Allen at free safety, earning his first career start.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Great, the Tyrod haters are already lining up their excuses for why beating the Falcons really didn't prove anything... Their defense is below average even without the injuries. Beasley did lead the league in sacks last year so that's a huge loss for them. The other injuries shouldn't affect things much. If we can't run the ball on Atlanta that means we have serious problems because their run defense isn't good even before the injuries. On defense we need to get a pass rush going so IMO Schraeder being out is the biggest loss for them. If it turns into a pass happy shootout we'll be happy Beasley is gone for sure.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Something useful from Rodak    As the Bills stretched at Friday's practice, they played Atlanta's "Rise Up" theme song with Samuel L. Jackson over the speakers, as well as "11 Birds" by Migos, which is about Julio Jones and the Falcons. It is not unusual for the Bills to play opponent-themed music at Friday practices before road games, as both a motivational tool and a simulation of what they'll hear in the road venue.  TIL.
