Huh? Is there any chance that we get 2-3 sacks in this game?

Doubt it. Don't think our Dline is very good, the Eagles' line was just that bad.

There's always a chance.

Jordan has been steadily improving.

Tez can get that one jump on the snap.

Harper doesnt have one yet, and he almost broke the record for single season sacks for a DB. I bet he's hungry.

Honestly i think we get 2 sacks and a fumble in this game.

Ranked right at Middle of the pack in terms of pass protection.

Ranked 21 in Run blocking.


Nola is slightly better at run blocking and pass protection FWIW.

Our OL is mediocre but they have gotten drastically better since last year (to the point where it almost doesn't seem real) and have improved week to week.

Konz our rookie has been solid and is getting better and better.

I would expect the Saints to probably have 2 sacks. The Falcons O line is sorta weird, lots of really old guys mixed with really young guys.
They are prone to have mental lapses and sleep on plays.

For the most part, they've overachieved this year ESPECIALLY when you compare it to last year.

We're gonna have to be creative with some zone blitzes. My hope is that Hicks blows up the middle of your line. That guy has been shedding double teams, but he's been limited on snaps, although he's been getting more recently.

I noticed the last game that they were using our defensive ends, standing up as blitzers up the middle. I think they used Tez and Junior that way. It was really effective with Tez, because that guy has near 4.3 speed, and he's 6-5 250-something.

When they decided to keep Sam Baker as a starter I was quite happy. Somehow he actually hasn't been completely useless this season. They aren't great but they're better than last season. Probably won't have much trouble blocking our front 4

Ryan is usually pretty quick getting rid of the ball so I think, like Drew, he makes the Oline look better than they truly are at times.

Oh no doubt, and I agree with what others have said. That the quarterbacks make both lines a little better by getting rid of the ball quick.

DBs pocket presence is incredible, Ryan can definitely work on his game in this department. He tends to freak out when the pocket collapses.

got to give the D-line some support here. What other team has sacked Vick 7 time this year ?

They played well.
