It was interesting to see Capers suggest he might play more coverage this week instead of bringing pressure.
That should tell you the respect he has for Ryan - the Falcons don't have much besides White.

First off, I think this QB talk has hijacked a thread with a subject bemoaning our Special Teams.
So, I continue off topic with aadp's quote above. It seems everytime Dom decides to drop back in coverage (i.e. both Minny games last year) we suck and lose games. I liked some of the early pressure we put on ATL but we didn't seem to follow through. Whereas, I think that ATL was effective at getting pressure because they didn't have to respect the run (we had none).
Anyone else see this happening?
Bottom Line for all this, to me, is that despite our great efforts and a brilliant drive at the end of the game, we were still outplayed. We also didn't seem to play our best ball. Upshot is that if we played well in all aspects (run, pass, D, ST, etc) we would have won. We're a great team when we fire on all cylinders. This Sunday, we didn't. And we were still darned good. Almost good enough.
