Falcon DL is decent but no where near as talented as Philly's DL.

Both Philly and ATL run 3-4 defenses.

Philly front 3 starters:
Milton Williams - 3rd rounder
Jordan Davis - 1st rounder
Jalen Carter - 1st rounder

Philly DL depth:
Moro Ojomo - 7th rounder
Byron Young - 3rd rounder
Thomas Booker IV - 5th rounder

After McCoy went down the Philly DL handled the Saints OL.


ATL runs a 3-4 D too but they don't have a talented guys like Philly.
Grady Jarrett - 5th rounder
David Onyemata - 4th rounder
Zach Harrison - 3rd rounder

ATL DL depth:
Kentavius Street - 4th rounder
Ruke Orhorhoro - 2nd rounder
Ta'Quon Graham - 5th rounder

Eddie Goldman - 2nd rounder
James Smith-Williams - 7th rounder
Brandon Dorlus - 4th rounder


Looks like ATL plays a lot more DL than Philly.

With a week to prepare, assuming McCoy is still out, the Saints OL should be able to match up a lot better with the ATL DL than they did with the Philly DL.

The Saints DL just couldn't handle Philly's UGA guys, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. They were unlockable pushing the Saints OL back on almost every down.

Jarrett is good, not as worried about onyemata. Saw some posts in their sub bitching about him

I don't think they need to be as talented as Philly's d-line. Our backup lineup sucks.

I watched about a half and the QB was a surprise. He looked bored, tired or both. Does atl fan like his play so far?

Kirk Cousins will carve you up if you don't get pressure on him. He collapses when he is pressured. Kind of like Derek Carr, TBH.

I think the Saints DL can get more pressure on Kirk than the ATL DL on Derek. That's the key to the game IMO.

Draft position is not a very good way to evaluate a player’s talent. The players’s performance on the field shows his actual talent. For every Jordan Davis or Jalen Carter there’s a 1st round bust like John Jenkins or Jonathan Sullivan (funny that all of these guys came from UGA )

I could see Grady Jarret and David Onyemata giving our O-Line fits without a doubt.
