freakofthesouth Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Real happy about the game last night, though I was able to see none of it. I have a couple quick questions, if someone would be kind enough to indulge me... -Did Daniels make an impact at all? I didn't hear too much about the d-line making plays, but it does seem that they allowed the blitzes to come in free. -Taylor...did he make some plays of signifigance, or did the Falcons' offense generally stay away from him? Thanks. ~Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 The D-line did a good job of getting pressure on the QB. They also did well in shutting down the run, and opeaning blitzing lanes. I don't know anything about the other question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniels isn't known so much for his pass-rushing ability as his ability to defend the run and take up blockers. It certainly helped open up the blitzing lanes, but don't take my word for it. Ask Vick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakofthesouth Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 Right on. Thanks. I remember last year, before the season started, that Edwards mentioned the main objective of the D line would be to take up blockers. Obviously, that didn;'t happen! But this year...seems like Daniels can fill that role....sweet. No Taylor info though? I guess Atlanta's offense didn't have too much time to get the ball downfield...
