Our DB's against Atlanta's WR's is going to be epic

[JSeahawks]

Julio Jones and Roddy White are as good a combination as there is in the league.

Gonna be a lot of fun!

Fun for them unless Browner returns to form a little more and we get Trufant's ass out of there.

 

[slipwax]

It will be. I'm so pumped for that match up

 

[Blitzer88]

Its gonna be a very interesting match-up.

 

[Blitzhawk]

Most worried about Tony Gonzalez myself.

I don't see them being better then the 49ers receivers, both good but we have played against top competition.

I completely agree. I think the Falcons have probably the strongest #1 and #2 WR combo in the league in Jones and White. Both of them are playmakers.

Then you bring in Tony Gonzalez, arguably the best receiving TE in history. Holds all time TD and passing yards records... He's definitely not in his prime anymore but he still poses a significant threat with hands, size and speed relative to how big the guy is.

They're pretty similar to 49ers and we have played elite receivers this year. But it will take a team effort and our DB's should be the best matchup for these guys out of all the secondaries in the league.

It'll be fun to watch

Just my opinion but i think both White and Jones are better then anybody that sf has.

Browner and Trufant scared me a lot out there for a good bit of the game. They need to get their act together if they're going to shut Atlanta down.

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

Browner is going to have to play a LOT better next week IMO if the Hawks are going to be reasonably effective vs. White and Jones. And yeah, Gonzalez concerns me a great deal too.

Holy hell

Matt Ryan threw 5 interceptions against the Cardinals

And the Cardinals ran the ball down their throats

 

[chris98251]

The two TE's of S.F. and the group of WR's overall in S.F. is what I was thinking of. White and Jones are great but overall how we cover as a team I think we are not out matched.

 

[ariel9302]

I've rode the hell out of roddy white in fantasy. it's gonna be weird rooting against him now.

 

[BillHawks]

The Falcons are probably the only team other than the Packers that I think has the offensive weapons to really hurt our defense. With Jones, White, and Gonzalez all going out for passes and Rodgers as a safety valve we are going to get burned sometimes.

If there's no pressure on Ryan it's going to be a long day. Gotta get some pass rush, fast.

..........If there's no pressure on Ryan it's going to be a long day. Gotta get some pass rush, fast.

This, and I have some serious doubts about the Hawks' ability to get pressure on anybody's QB without blitzing, especially if Clemons is out. And Pete and Gus show no interest in blitzing unless the opposition is in desperation mode.
