I haven't seen a single Falcon game this year, but usually I am a little skeptical of a D when the rush/pass rankings are at near polar opposites. Atlanta's secondary isn't that great, ranked 26/27 vs. the pass. Why would anyone run on them, if you can throw it at will?
Not saying that will be or should be, our game plan, I just think rankings get a bit skewed when they are at either ends of the spectrum.
