How do you stop a balanced offense like the Falcons?
-
You stop the run and force them to be one dimensional.
I know they have a good QB and receiving corps but it's much easier to call D when you can shut down half of their offense.
This.
Pittsburgh didn't have a problem and that was with a 3rd string QB. The problem for the Browns is they don't have a LB with enough speed to cover Gonzo or a safety to bracket him like Polamalu. Micheal Turner has also lost a step if you ask me.

Another point to bring up is that the Falcons have had problems against the 3 - 4 so far this year. Particularly with the lineman getting to the LB's and the second level.
Hopefully they still have problems come Sunday.

It all Depends on how soon can we get to the QB. If Matt Roth has his day then I think we can do enough to slow down their amazing passing attack.

After thinking about this topic question, I would say play a lot of cover 2 and have an offense that can use time consuming drives by running the ball and spreading their defense around by using a lot of screens.
Keep their offense off of the field and take them out of their game plan.

Really? Didnt the Falcons have 200+ yards rushing in that game. And don't forget about the fluke punt recovery. All last year the Saints had miracle plays. You remember Miami? Washington? Bottom line is you make your luck in the NFL.

Put some guys on the field that can play defense.
Just doing my civic duty.

I appreciate the insight on the Browns you've given me. Here is to a great game with no injuries.
I'll check back in after the game either way.

Well, it was a close game as I knew it would be. We came out on top but you played well enough to win. Our offense was all over the place. Terrible in the Red zone.
Hope things go better for you down the road. Good luck.

Its appropriate to end this thread with quotes from Fujita:
(On giving up 100 yards rushing and the play of the defense) - “The big part of it was that one long run. It was a long run, take that away, I don’t know how bad it was but those long runs count too. It was disappointing, but again, that is one of the better running games in (NFL) football. (They are) probably the most balanced offense overall in football. They’re tough to prepare for. Overall, I thought our guys played well, it’s just a couple of big plays. You add it all up and those big plays kill you.”
(On the losing another close game) - “It’s tough, I feel like we’re better than our record. We’re 1-4 and I feel like we’re better than that. But you are what your record says you are in this league. That’s the bottom line. So we’ll come back. We’ve got some divisional play coming up here and that’s where we’ve got to turn things around.”
(On the progress of Atlanta QB Matt Ryan) - “It’s tough to even say progress because he (QB Matt Ryan) was good from Jump Street. He came out as a rookie and was pretty efficient early on in his career. Someone was asking me the other day how I thought about him as a young quarterback. I don’t even consider him a young quarterback. This is a guy who is seasoned already and played well from the beginning.
