NFC Championship: ATL Falcons vs SF 49ers GDT

[ChrisPozz]

Nathan Jahnke:

Falcons DL have been rotating in and out even more than usual. Abraham, Biermann, Peters, Jerry, Babineaux and Walker all with 12+ snaps

brown has probably been our best corner too. frustrating to see him struggle, he's usually been very solid

 

[tomikcon1971]

If we aren't going to blitz, which isn't our style, we need to change up the coverage. Also we have to gain an extra possession through a turnover.

Dashon Goldson has 3 near INTs in the last 2 NFC Championship games. (2 last year, 1 this year). Argh!

Near INT's -meh not good enough. We need our secondary to make better plays, although Goldson did make a near great play on that catch Julio brought down and Tarell Brown actually covered Julio pretty good on that second TD, although it was just a great play by Julio and great throw by Ryan.

Nathan Jahnke:

49ers have used 3 WR sets just 4 times, including that last play. However Falcons have used nickel or dime defense on 11 plays

 

[TheNinerMind]

They have to get the falcons out of rhythm.

You think? That was a big part of my point.

Ryan is good against the Blitz.

My arm chaired coaching would be to move to nickel or dime and hold the coverage a bit longer. If we can hold the coverage a few seconds longer the DL will get to Ryan. They've been close a lot but Ryan has gotten rid of the ball.

Normally I'd say we can make adjustments, but our CBs are just getting outclassed by their receivers. It's not scheme, we're just getting straight up beat.

 

[tomikcon1971]

Guys. These are big physical talented receivers. No pressure and they'll beat most DBs in the league. I don't think our DBs are the problem.

Really? You don't say...

 

[bvanthielriceyoung]

i feel like were going to have to put up 45 like last week to win this one, lot of work to do in the 2nd half

The two last year, didn't Goldson and Brown have both of them but each time they knocked each other out?

 

[jds_49ers]

We have to come out and score on the opening drive. Then the D needs to figure it out quick and force them to punt. Gotta get this to 3 or less before the 4th

Was it Rogers who almost had an INT last year against NYG as well?

 

[tomikcon1971]

This first drive is HUGE though. I don't see a path to victory without points on the first drive of 3rd quarter.

 

[Dodub]

We need to give our CB's help, they're getting beat but there is no reason for them to be one on one every play against the best WR's in the league.

 

[tzill]

No pass rush = no Super Bowl. Did Aldon even suit up today?

i didnt expect them to shut down their recievers, but they need to do way more than they've done. we are giving them a cake walk.
