Re: Falcons Lead Up
Dillon has regressed, unfortunately. It doesn't help that MLF utilizes him in some weird ways, most frustratingly running him side to side instead of up the gut, but even then, Dillon hits the hole slower and gets taken down pretty easily when he does get through the line.

So frustrating. He's clearly a downhill runner and they seem obsessed with moving him laterally and running him out of shotgun. Some things never change.
Will be more frustrating when he goes somewhere next year and looks great with the team that understands how to use him.
On that subject, if he continues to struggle and they insist on using their backs in this way they might as well give the kid a shot.
Do it for Chuck

There's almost no shot Dillon goes to another team and looks "great". It's a pretty big yikes that your 2nd round RB can't succeed in your system.

Dillon looks big and slow. He isn't the same back that he was a couple years ago. No burst. It's a shame
only a fan, only an opinion

Re: Falcons Lead Up
For a big guy Dillon doesn’t really do anything that makes me think he’s a power running back besides being slow and uncoordinated

Maybe if his name was Denise instead of Dennis.

I was really hoping to see Quay matched up on Bijan. Hopefully he clears concussion protocol, but I'm not sure it's a positive (long term) if he does.

Re: Falcons Lead Up
After the Rodgers injury last night, I'm a little nervous for our guys playing on turf this week.

That's certainly a factor, but I think another issue with turf is the way it moves when a player cuts and the give underneath them and the load it puts on their bodies.

I have just been rewatching the game. Wyatt is a **** monster. They drafted a special one in him even if it took a year.

Hmmm, sensing a theme here.

Any news on Quay and a possible concussion?

Re: Falcons Lead Up
I don't know much about the Falcons but from what I've read their defense is pretty solid. Sounds like Carolina had success running the football though (32 carries for 154 yards). Hopefully AJ is good to go.
Think our front 7 can get to Ridder too.

Sounds like Wyatt was really great with stunts at Georgia and the DC finally started doing them more often and he really showed out.
Also, Atlanta is basically a typical above average B1G team

Re: Falcons Lead Up
Quay Walker doing strength training likely means he's in phase 3 of Concussion Protocol out of 5. If he's doing non-contact drills tomorrow at practice, I'd think we're looking good for him to play on Sunday.

Re: Falcons Lead Up
I know they're going to play it safe with hamstring injuries but selfishly I just want to see Jones, Watson, Doubs, Reed and Musgrave all healthy and on the field together.
