A little dramatic but they've posted a boat load of highlights from the season. Obviously Julio is ridiculous but check out the Taylor Gabriel and Tevin Coleman highlights to see why this offence is so deadly. Many of these big plays came immediately after the opposing team scored to make the game kinda close. Absolutely demoralizing.
Still can't believe that Falcons and Super Bowl is a thing. Can't wait for next Sunday!!! |
Alex Mack really solidified the Falcons offensive line, and Tevin Coleman, and Devonta Freeman may have been the best backfield duo in the league. Patrick DiMarco is also a beast at full back. I remember him from when he played for the Chiefs under the disaster that was Romeo Crennel as head coach, dude threw some crazy blocks that allowed Jamaal Charles to break off some big runs. When the Falcons had Tony Gonzalez and were a playoff team they didn't have the same caliber of playmakers in the run game that they do now. So I think that makes this version of their offence much more multi-faceted.
The fact that they won and still put up points in games where they had no Julio Jones would indicate to me that they may still be able to move the ball and score points even if the Patriots can do what they do and remove the best piece from the equation. The one time all year where the Patriots defence had a bad game was against the Seahawks when they presented a multi faced attack that doesn't have one stand out playmaker that you need to stop. If Atlanta can bring some of that, they might put up enough points to make it a good game.
