How do we stop Tony Gonzales?

[Giblien]

If your Pete, how do you handle the greatest TE in history on Sunday?

 

[ivotuk]

Kam Bam!

 

[Hawknballs]

by hoping that Atlanta plays like it has the 29th ranked rushing attack in the league and we can free up some coverage for him.

 

[hawksfan515]

Hit him. A lot.

 

[JSeahawks]

I dont think you can. He's going to get his catches. I'd focus on Roddy White and Julio Jones. And focus on tackling Gonzales hard as soon as he does get the ball.

 

[Zebulon Dak]

Put a hat on him.

 

[Renohawk]

He's no better than NE TE's who we've faced this year. How did they do?

 

[Erebus]

He's no better than NE TE's who we've faced this year. How did they do?

Aaron Hernandez scored a TD against us.

 

[SharkHawk]

I think Browner would be better off covering a TE after seeing him looking like he lost a step today. He's a bit rusty, but is big and fast enough to keep up with any TE in the league.

 

[hawks4thewin]

you bait him with tortillas. and a bambam

 

[Largent80]

Better question...How do they stop OUR ENTIRE TEAM?

We play as a team, better than any NFL team, beat all of us, not just one player.

 

[RolandDeschain]

Short/short-medium passes to the middle are going to kill us if we don't show up with a great defensive game plan and execution.

 

[Seanhawk]

Kam Bam!

Kam Bam struggled in coverage tonight. The two TDs were on him.

 

[QuahHawk]

Kam needs to step up, he we brutally bad today, lucky Earl and the rest of the D overcame his early mistakes

 

[Basis4day]

You start by not moving our best players into other positions. I really hope i don't see anyone suggest we move Sherm into the slot and have ET play CB.

Gonzalez is a great player. I'd worry more about slowing him down than stopping him.

 

[Seeker]

Same way we stopped Vernon Davis.



Kam Chancellor

 

[Shock2k]

Bribe him to pretend like he has the flu? (It's been going around)

 

[djb28]

Wait. I wanna answer this. "We smack him around a little!" :0190l:

 

[Wartooth]

Have Kam drop him a few times...
He's an old man...
Hit him so hard he comes away with erectile dysfunction...
Then he can due some commercials with Jimmy Johnson...

 

[drdiags]

They haven't stopped him the last two times they have played him here under Pete/Bradley. There isn't much that is going to change, since you have to prioritize and take away White and Jones as best as you can. The only savior from their first demolition of the Seahawks and the 61yd fg game of last year is that Burner Turner isn't as dynamic as he was a few years ago.

Remember, the Falcons was the team Pete felt the Seahawks needed to become for how they played. It may have changed with the emphasis on passing now but they were a handful to play under Pete's watch.
