Falcons
Danny's .02:
1. A new era of the Run game
I've been reading a lot about how the 'Hawks run game is worse than it's been in the Carroll era... I tend to think this is partially by design after last years late passing game success and partially because when we are in that mode normally Russ is mobile enough to gain yardage on the ground. That being said... I would like to see C-Mike get a full 20-25 carries in addition to some runs by Spiller/Prosise
2. Strong Side LB
Morgan and KPL are both out now so we now move to 3rd string. I anticipate we'll see a lot of nickel D with Lane getting tons of snaps.
3. Snap Peas
I continue to feel like our crap long snapper is going to cost us dearly and he continues to have bad snaps every game....
4. The only slightly gimpy pass-rush
Bennett practiced all week on that whacked knee and Clark is a go on his hamstring, neither injury sounds like a good thing though considering we are already thin on fast lb's in the edge contain game and pass attack. I hope Cliff Avril is ready to be the man.
5. Xman of the game prediction:
Earl Thomas- he'll likely need to be with the ageless wonder of Larry Fitzgerald still out there making big catches.
Predictions-
Seattle 17 Cardinals 14
