MNF Thoughts With Cousins and Brown

Mofome2 · Sep 16, 2024

Brown being out does Dotson and Smith step up? Bigger question does Cousins shit the bed since he is 12 - 20 on MNF and 6 - 5 vs Eagles....

Any thoughts on tonight......I feel like a good spot would be a prop play on Barkley anytime TD

I think the Falcons are going to stack the box and try to funnel passes to the interior and towards their quality secondary. Barkley likely to get plenty of touches but I don't know how productive they will be. If you believe in the "over-reaction" bias from Week #1 to Week #2 so far this year, outside of Carolina, that has held up pretty well and the Falcons would be a part of that.

I'd be more likely to want to play D. Smith receiving props as I think the Eagles will take some shots to him and try to get him involved in the screen game. He's still got the speed to pop big plays if given enough touches. I like the Falcons to steal a game SU so I'll have some props mixed in around that.

Do you think that Eagles should not have run it on Third and three. inside the 20? So at least they could have run down the time and prevent the comeback.

Watching that game was brutal. They obviously have dropped the ball here on Barkley. For some reason Nick made a comment about keeping his legs fresh for the later part of the season but that would not be the case when they are trying to win games. He is being utilized the wrong way. The great Philly Tush push should not even be used when you need a yard, have a back like Barkley that in the first few carries of the game was getting almost 9 yards a carry.
I honestly thought after he was down just shy of the goal line they would have gave it to him again

Averaged almost 4.5 yards each carry last night.

An incomplete pass, was more than likely only way ATL wins game. Barkly has lead RBs in drops last 3 years.RUN THE BALL and if short enough RUN on 4th.
