We take away Gonzalez and it's game over for the Falcons. Who is covering him? Past years we've always been killed by a monster TE.

Hmm good question,like we did with vernon davis in the past we'd put woodson on him but idk if we should for the falcons they would just exploit that.Last game I think Peprah covered him the most,maybe double coverage hawk/bishop and peprah on him?Idk..

It's hardly game over if we take away Gonzalez.

He's gotten 50+ yards in a game this year only 4 times. He isn't the impact player he used to be.

I think I'd rather take away Roddy White than Tony Gonzalez at this point in their career.

I wouldn't say that stopping Gonzalez is the key to stopping the Falcons. Michael Turner and Roddy White are both more important than him. But Gonzalez poses matchup problems, and if the Packers blitz a lot, I would expect Gonzalez to exploit the middle of the field.

I suppose the main cover guys on him will be Hawk, Bishop, and Peprah. None of them are exceptional in coverage, but they are all solid, high effort guys. Gonzalez vs. whoever should be an interesting matchup.

I think the Packers have the priority set as such.. early in the downs.. Turner and Snelling.. mid downs Jenkins and White.. third down passing plays.. Gonzo and White.. at least that is how I would worry about them.

Gonzo can't stretch a field like he once did.. so it is those possession type situations (IE 3rd downs) that he would concern me the most.

White will draw the bulk of the Packers attention is multiple coverages.. Jenkins I think they are willing to take their chances with.

Another cat to watch in conversion situations is Finneran.

For my money tonight.. the best match up to watch the game within the game is at the LOS when the Falcons have the ball.

Turner is like a bubble-butted fire plug morphed with a bowling ball. Can you imagine that SOB on the Pack?

Another one of those types will be available in April.. Big John Clay. Although even as a Badger fan, I don't think the kid will do well in the pros.. but he as well is built low to the ground and has a massive lower body.

My biggest concern at the LOS.. is the edge with Walden on it.. the Bears exposed that corner on him.. I would be surprised if the Falcons don't test that edge a couple of times. Hope the kid has his chin strap buckled tight.. because it is a coming.

My big question with a RB like Clay is that he played behind such a quality line that I can't tell if he is that good.

God, that was a good line.

Hire Tanya Harding.
