Falcons vs. Steelers: One reason to worry Takkarist McKinley Jersey For Sale , one reason to feel confident This Sunday’s game is a pivotal one for the Falcons, om facing a nigh-impossible road to the playoffs. This team has too much talent (and forgive me, too much heart) to be dismissed out of hand, but they need to start winning at a very rapid clip to keep this season alive. Knocking off the Steelers would make the road ahead easier and would erase some doubts about this team, especially if they can do so decisively.That said, there are reasons to feel confident about this Falcons team heading into Week 5, and there are reasons for grave doubt. Here are one of each. Feel confident about the offense putting up pointsJoe Flacco is in the midst of a pretty impressive bounce-back year, but his 363 yards against the Steelers pass defense was one of the ten highest totals of his career. Considering he only had slightly more against the Bengals, a team Matt Ryan just finished eviscerating Takkarist McKinley Jersey On Sale , things look promising for the passing attack.More broadly, this Steelers defense has not been good this year at all. They’re allowing the third-highest yards per game in the NFL, the eighth-most points, the fourth-highest number of passing yards, and the 10th-highest number of rushing yards. They’re better than the Falcons in some ways, worse in others, but the net takeaway is that the Steelers are bad on defense. Playing this one at home isn’t going to fix that against an unconscious Atlanta offense, particularly one getting back a key playmaker in Devonta Freeman.While the Falcons may not look quite as sharp away from home, they should have absolutely no trouble dropping 25+ points Takkarist McKinley Jersey Sale , and frankly 30+ feels like a virtual lock unless the Football Gods have some more weird stuff planned for us. The Steelers just aren’t that good defensively, and they’re unlikely to have compelling answers for Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. Worry a lot about the pass defense On the flip side of things, the Steelers offense is a major concern, especially when you consider that it hasn’t even looked as good as it is capable of looking to this point.The Steelers are sixth in total yardage, tied for 12th in points scored, third in passing yardage, and 29th in rushing yardage. Minus Le’Veon Bell their ground game has been forgettable and they’ve just been airing it out. Where having a one-dimensional offense might prove to be a problem against a good defense, against Atlanta it’s a bit of a nightmare scenario.That’s chiefly because the Falcons have struggled so mightily stopping the pass, with Andy Dalton and Drew Brees torching them in back-to-back weeks. Atlanta tightened up a bit and started getting after Dalton in the second half a week ago Replica Takkarist McKinley Jersey , but they also allowed the Bengals to score four touchdowns on four tries in the first half. This Steelers attack is a huge concern.More broadly, the state of the secondary is a concern. The team’s focus on communication this week is important, no doubt, but Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford have struggled in back-to-back weeks, Isaiah Oliver is very much a work in progress, and Brian Poole’s coverage issues have been legion both as a cornerback and a safety these last two weeks. When you have to contain players like Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Vance McDonald, you can’t afford the kinds of lapses that have become commonplace in Atlanta, and I fear that you can’t fix all of even many of those issues in a single week.If the Falcons win this game Stitched Takkarist McKinley Jersey , it will probably be because they managed a turnover or two (which isn’t outlandish) or managed to somehow hold this passing attack in check (a bit more outlandish). If they can accomplish either, it will give me hope for the rest of this season. Matt Gono is clearly a player the Falcons like a great deal. The 22-year-old Wesley product made the roster as an undrafted free agent and has held on to his spot all year long despite not being active for a single game. With Ty Sambrailo hitting free agency this spring, it was fair to wonder if the team might slot him in as their swing tackle of the future.Earlier this week, though, we got some interesting news from the plugged-in Jason Butt from The Athletic, who told us that Gono has been quietly practicing at guard for a couple of weeks now.I’ll freely admit it’s a pretty big logical leap from “player gets practice reps” to “WILL PLAYER BE ACTIVE AT GUARD?!” We’ve been hoping for a Gono sighting for weeks now, and while Sambrailo is playing fairly well at right tackle, this team still is trotting out Ben Garland and Zane Beadles at right guard. Getting Gono into the mix for a handful of snaps in this one just to see how he fares certainly makes sense to me, especially if this is more than a dabbling. The Falcons simply don’t have any inspiring in-house solutions at guard next year Baby Takkarist McKinley Jersey , and if Gono is capable of being at least solid depth at guard, it’d be great to have a feel for that over these final two weeks of the season, even if it comes in the fourth quarter with Matt Schaub under center.So this week and next week, keep an eye out for Gono and see if he makes it to the active roster. The Falcons continue to need all the young, capable linemen they can get.
