I was just wondering...I heard Jaws this morning say that since ATL runs more zone Kaep won't have the success he had running the ball like he did against GB. I thought ATL was one of the worst against running qb's numbers wise. If they aren't, who is?

Well how many "running QBs" are there in the league? and how many teams played against at least one this year?
The point I'm trying to make is that whatever numbers you come up with will have little significance.
Maybe they don't play we'll against running QBs, but you can't really assess which team is the worst in the league.

Statistically yes, but we played RG3 once and Cam twice.

as bad as the Falcons have looked on Defense this year, they have played seemingly every running QB in the league at some point. They have plenty of experience and at least know what they have to do to stop this type of QB. Whether they do or not is a totally different question.

Kaep's first start he eviscerated the Bears D with a rushing line of 4 for 10 yards. He averaged over 10.5 YPA.

I hope the Falcons commit as many defenders as possible to stopping the run. Davis and Walker would greatly appreciate it.

Pretty sure Harbaugh knows they're going to expend great effort in slowing down his ability to run, so I'm expecting an aerial display.
