Gotcha. I misunderstood where you were coming from.

Yeah Spags scheme not only killed us in the air by playing zone in the back which our guys suck at, it was very porous on the ground which kept us off balance.

We gave up(if I added right) 69 and 67 yards rushing in these first 2 games. We only gave up 2 10+ yard runs and one was to Daniel on a scramble. Draughn busted a 17 yarder but finsihed with 13 yards total which means we stuffed him twice also.

We look much more sound against the run and I think we have turned what was one of if not our biggest deficiency into perhaps one of our biggest strengths.

I really hope Payton can find a run game because I think that's the only thing that could hold us back even a little this season.

Defense- we're gonna need competent play at OLB. If I'm Atlanta and I see Will Smith starting at OLB, my gameplan will have about 25 passes to the RB, to his side of the field... and that might just be the 1st half.
Think I'm joking? Just picture Smith trying to cover Jacquizz Rogers in the flat.
