Jeff Ulbrich On Falcons Defense:
“It’s such a huge shift in how football has ever been approached. It forced me to reassess how I approach defense because I was classically taught in this game, ‘You better stop the run first.’ It’s been an evolution for me in the last 10 years. Do I want to stop the run? Of course I do. But I would say my focus is primarily to stop the pass.”
Ben Johnson On Passing Game EPA:
“The way I understand it right now from our analytics team, the EPA in the passing game is really one of the most critical factors in determining wins and losses right now… Whatever team has the higher passing game EPA at the end of the game, they generally win that game over 80 percent of the time.”

Guy you don't know what the hell you're talking about. We should be copying with the eagles did. Four 300 lb Dline front with speed. That's the thing that we need to follow that's what killed Patrick mahomes
Being small or what that's not going to help that was our problem last year
The fact that you're trying to explain this make it no good already.
3 day weekend baaaaby!! Petey i wish an unbelievable wedding and have the time of your life enjoy bud rise up!🫡

Thanks for staying around bro!
Ill be the replacement if I can do it from Nashville!
All the best for your wedding, Petey. Also, thanks for stickin' around for a little while longer…😊
More Kirk Cousins videos!!!! Great!
This is not good. I can understand being faster but you need some big bodies who are quick in the middle. You gotta have some size on the d line.
We couldn’t stop the run much last year either
The Falcons have Lacale London at 330lbs , if they won't to stop the run. Also some of these guys will get cut throughout preseason. If they want to add some girth. I think the defense will be verastile and look to shut down the run and play solid on the backend.
The broncos were small upfront and had the #1 Defense. Look at their 2024 depth chart, and they were just fine stopping the run also
Alright Petey my final question to you before you go…. BROWNS VS FALCONS SuperBowl who you got as your favorite ?!?!?
Why did we introduce football to nerds? Bro just line up and hit other team in the mouth and if you do it enough times you win the damn game. Just play football.
We actually have defensive linemen known as run stoppers so i dont get this…
7 not stopping the run don't like that
Say yes!!
Um…Morgan Fox is 297
🫡
The Eagles just won the Superbowl. What defensive philosophy do they use?
Where can I apply?
