And we thought Bushrod was bad...

I think they're hurrying him back. His backup is getting owned.

Baker was a first rounder. Bushrod was a late round steal. Saints win.

I think they seriously need to get back to a run first attack. You see them spread out 4-5 wide but all they do is throw out routes or 8 yard comebacks. Everyone knows it. Their offensive line isn't good enough to go deep without play action and a extra blocker in there.

Falcons offensive personnel are meant for I-formation grind-it-out football. They have a massive tailback who can't catch. A speedy receiver who can take the top off the defense and a big receiver who can run the crossing routes. No point in falcons doing that fancy stuff at 4 wide.

Will Smith has had 4 sacks against the Falcons the last two years. Granted you can make the case we have blitzed more in the last two years, but I feel like Joyner from ESPN wrote something about Smith feasting on Baker. Sounds like it isn't just Smith who does well, but rather everyone and anyone has success against Baker/Falcons.

Smith get's held a lot, especially against the Falcons.

I've noticed this also. Seems almost every pass play that he is near the qb I'm yelling holding to the tv
