Tell me how the Falcons can contain Kaepernick

[TheCentaur]

because I don't see it happening.

[KuLaPhU]

Me neither

[William Walters]

Copy & Paste from an ESPN article:
The big trouble area for Atlanta’s rush defense has been quarterbacks. The Falcons have allowed 339 yards on 38 rushes this season to quarterbacks (excluding kneel downs). The 8.9 yards per rush allowed on those plays is last in the NFL.

Make him one dimensional. I'd rather see him try and pass than run.

[ttwarrior1]

zone, dont rush him, if u rush him, he'll just ran past them

green bay rushed 3 or 4 guys every play, how dumb

just cover the damn receivers and have a linebacker and safety follow kap through a read defense

[NOboy]

get a big lead like last week. they wont be running the zone read if they are down big

[pulledclear]

Kap gonna lay an Egg.

[OTL]

Russel Wilson ran all over them. Kaepernick will do the same.

[Clutch24]

they will contain him much better than the packers could. under 100 yards rushing he will move the ball throwing but look for a big game from frank gore delanie walker and my boy lamicheal james

[JayLA]

outside containment, which unfortunately is what ATL's defense lacks. Mike Nolan had a lot more to work with in Miami, I'm hoping he's been working with his outside backers and Defensive ends.....not too familiar with them to speak of em but i trust Nolan.

Don't make this harder then it needs to be the falcons are the super bowl champs nobody left is close to them Seattle was the only contender

[ChalkyDog]

ATL plays a Zone defense. The mistakes seen against Kapernick in most man situations (see Green Bay) will be minimized significantly in a zone.

[Kermit]

Alex Smith will be in by the 3rd quarter.

[vigster]

Can't, won't

[Jeffie]

Alex Smith will be in by the 3rd quarter.

[ChalkyDog]

Alex Smith will be in by the 3rd quarter.

That should be a prop. Always.

[MJT1212]

they wont

[onacloud]

last 3 games before GB game

5 yards rushing vs Cardinals
30 yards rushing vs Seahawks
28 yards rushings vs Patriots

The game vs GB was a fluke he will not run like that today

[nosniboR11]

funny, they will hit him, he is not that good , jeez, he ran on the gb packers, big deal

[ttwarrior1]

play him like they have already

atlanta needs to get rid of the run, perhaps delayed handoffs, just pass down the middle

49ers aren't all that

Another failed thread

ATL needs to stop the run. Put more men in the box.
