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.

Right on Scott!!.. this is an intelligent man,ya`ll!!!

ATL 4-1

CLE 1-4

Hope things go better for you down the road. Good luck.

I'll check back in after the game either way.

Put some guys on the field that can play defense.

Just doing my civic duty.

well if you call missing a 29 yard chipshot..unlucky then yes...

@strato said:

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.

Keep their offense off of the field and take them out of their game plan.

Cover TG..and White and they dont have too much more...the Saints had em beat then as Scott Fujita would say "Our Phat Punk Kicker Choked"...lol

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.

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.

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.

Well, TJ Ward may be that safety, and as far as the LBs are concerned, the Browns might have one to keep up with him speed wise, as he is older and has lost a few steps, but he certainly continues to have his guile as a TE. That more than his speed is what allows him to continue to be good.

@strato said:

That "Falcoons" remark is classless,racist and shallow!

@the-gipper said:

Strato said the Falcons had never been in a Superbowl.He said the Saints,Bucs and Panthers had been and we are a disgrace to the NFC South.The Saints and Bucs won their`s ,the Falcons and Panthers lost theirs.I wasn`t trying to play off on "who" played QB..lol

@falcons-fan said:

...next time I see you there ..i will...lol...

@next2nothing said:

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.
