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.

Secondary won't have an issue covering there receivers. Make them drive the length of the field and we will be fine. Let Kap break free on big runs and don't contain like we didn't against russell wilson last week were gonna get raped.

I'm expecting Atlanta to win by 2 scores at least.... I don't think Kaep has another game like last week back to back...

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.

There 2 losses under Kap were on the road. Kap playing in biggest game of young career. Matt Ryan and crew finally getting the monkey off there back so to speak. Anything could happen really.

I still think Kaep will run a bunch, but atl should bend and not break. If this game is half as exciting as the NFCCG against vikes, then I don't know if my heart can take it.

to hear once again " and the Atlanta Falcons are going to the superbowl" would be glorious.

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.
