Trent will be up for the challenge I'm sure

Agree with you about JJ. Amazing player. He will get his, especially with our injury depleted secondary.

I've heard that Atlanta has had a tough time stopping TEs. Granted, we are unlikely to have Jordan this weekend but do you see this as an exploitable area for the Skins? Carrier has shown some promise.

I'm also thinking our rookie Crowder could match up quite well against them.

JJ...imo is probably about 75-80%...slight hammy strain, he says when it's warmed up it's not a big deal. He's playing the games but not doing much in practice...HOU played a S over the top the entire game and that did take Ryan away from Julio a lot in that game, but I wouldn't play him 1 on 1 like PHI tried to do.

TEs...maybe, Whitten had a pretty good game vs ATL...the 1st 3 games they played mostly zone and the middle of the field probably was open in between the zones. They played a lot of man vs HOU...and Fiedorowicz (sp) didn't light them up.

My fear in this game pretty much mirrors what the ATL Skins fan thought...can they stop a good running game? And...can they get QB pressure when they need it?

Quinn is the former Seattle D coordinator right. If so look for a lot of Cover 3 zone. They'll mix and match man in there but they will play a very similar defense as the Redskins will. Kirk could do well if he takes the underneath stuff. I don't know ATL's personnel though so I am going off basics. I would certainly try to bracket Julio or he'll be down at the school yard in a quick second.

On the ATL side of that report.

Roddy White, Julio Jones, Hankerson, and Reed are pretty much locks to play...If Tamme passes the concussion protocol after practice today and tomorrow, he will likely play...Tevin Coleman is a maybe, and I doubt Ricardo Allen plays this week...MCL strain.

Iffy if DJax plays IMO. Initially he was ruled out 4-6 weeks with a hammy. This would still be the low end of that expectation. Have to see what the next few days show. Smartly, they've been very careful about the situation so far.

Perry is likely to play from all accounts.

Looks like I'm wrong about 4-6 weeks for DJax. Tho hammys are notoriously difficult to guesstimate. This report says 3-4 weeks...

The fact that he is pain free for the first time is huge tho

Hamstrings can be really problematic...largely why Julio is limited in practice every week...they just don't want to put any more on him than absolutely needed...the ATL CBs are quietly pretty good imo...Trufant a lot of people are starting to take notice...Alford gets a lot more targets but he will make plays...when they go nickel though...CB3 is shaky....the other notable I missed...if Durant can't go...Bartu is the next LB up and there is a drop off imo...another reason to really pay attention to the run game.

One RB not talked about as much (yet) for us is Chris Thompson. With Al Mo and Matt Jones getting all the headlines, he's had a very good start to this year. Had a significant game last week against the Eagles.

Really looking forward to seeing the battle of the trenches and running game and who wins there this Sun.

Matty Ice and JJ gonna celebrate...

Good opportunities for the youngins to step up tho

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Trufant's looking damn good

 

[Caliskinsfan]

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Beginning to wonder if maybe JJ is more setback by the toe and hammy than might be being disclosed.

As we expected was possible and likely
