Well they played against Seattle last year and really had there way. The thing that makes them so tough is you really can help because they really have 3 number 1 receivers you can take away 1 maybe 2 but not all 3. A good pass rusher will slow them down but don't forget about Rodgers and Douglas either.
And even if Browner and Sherman are have a great day its only takes 1 or 2 big plays to change a game.
As far as Press they'd just put either guy in motion and that takes that away.
Like I said is all about getting after Matt Ryan
We played the Falcons in what, week 4 last season? Before Sherman was the starter and while Browner was still adjusting to NFL football (remember 2 weeks prior he allowed 8/8 receptions to Mike Wallace for what, 130 odd yards?
I don't think it's a good game to look at in order to predict future success - at first glance you might think Lynch had a terrible game by his standards (24 yards on 8 carries), but that statline was typical of Lynch in the first half of 2011 (33 yards against SF, 11 yards against Pittsburgh, 24 yards against Cincinatti, 73 yards against Arizona on 18 carries for 3.8 YPC).
I wouldn't say Arizona came up against a pair of corners like ours this season, the closest would probably be Arizona and we know how that went for them - although that said, they get a lot of pressure on the QB which we don't.
There are only really 3 teams which I would say have corners which are similar to ours, Chicago, St Louis and San Francisco, but Atlanta didn't play any of them this year.
