Ndamukong Suh grabbed Matt Ryan's facemask (and did some other things) in last Falcons-Lions game.
FLOWERY BRANCH – This won’t play well with any coach who believes his weekly game plans belong on life’s top shelf, along with quantum physics and atom-splitting. But football really isn’t that complicated. To quote Vince Lombardi, “Some people try to find things in this game that don’t exist, but football is only two things – blocking and tackling.”
Which is why, after the Falcons’ most impressive victory among their 12 this season, it seems appropriate to throw a few roses at their offensive line. The blockers on this team don’t get talked about a lot, except maybe when Matt Ryan gets drilled or Michael Turner gets stuffed for no gain on third-and-1.
They’re not unique in that regard. Nobody thinks about the pipes in their house until they leak.
“That’s most o-lines,” Falcons tackle Tyson Clabo said. “Who has a good o-line? Across the league, everybody’s o-line is the [supposed] reason they can’t win games. So we’re not taking it personally.”
The Falcons have not been a great running team for most of the season, and, yes, the offensive line gets a share of the blame for that. But collectively, (left to right) Sam Baker, Justin Blalock, Todd McClure, Peter Konz and Clabo are coming off their best game of the season. The Falcons rushed for 129 yards and Ryan was seldom touched in a 34-0 win over the New York Giants. The line neutralized a Giants’ front four that buried them in last year’s playoffs.
Ryan ranks seventh in the NFL in pass attempts (539) but only 21st in times sacked (25).
By nature, offensive linemen don’t brag a lot. Besides, they know better. This week, the Falcons could get steamrolled by Detroit assault weapon Ndamukong Suh for a few sacks — between pile-drivers and kicks to the groin — and suddenly nobody would be worshiping at the altars of Baker to Clabo.
As McClure said when asked if the Giants game had altered perceptions of the line being just average, “Well, for one week we have. Next week we could be the worst guys to ever play the game. You guys may write we shouldn’t even be on a high school football field. But we bust our tail. We don’t take this lightly.”
This week, it’s the Lions and Suh. Will Ford Field be encircled with barbed wire?
When these teams met a year ago, the Falcons won 23-16 and it was as close as they ever came to a street brawl. Before the game in the tunnel, they saw Lions players standing in the corner of the end zone, blocking their path to the field. Linebacker Mike Peterson recalled telling teammates, ‘We’re not going around them — we’re going this way [straight ahead]. Get the bleepity bleep out of the way.’”
Then came a game filled with cheap shots. Suh and end Cliff Avril reportedly taunted Ryan when he was on the turf writhing in pain with what appeared to be a significant knee injury. McClure said later, “I had respect for Suh before the game. But when Matt was on the ground, the things he was saying and the trash he was talking was definitely uncalled for. There are certain things you don’t do. [He said], ‘Get the cart’ and several other things that I can’t repeat.”
Roddy White said, “I lost a whole lot of respect for 90 [Suh] today, and also 92 [Cliff Avril], the [bleep] they were doing when Matt got hurt. That was unacceptable. … Like 92 was kicking [Ryan’s] feet, saying, ‘Get him off the field.’ … I mean, ‘Get the cart’? Are you serious?”
Suh denied it all. But there has been no shortage of incidents and accusations since. The Falcons said nothing Tuesday to fan the flames. Ryan said he never actually heard Suh say anything, joking, “I think I was too busy yelling at [trainer] Marty [Lauzon].”
When asked if McClure and White would fabricate that, Ryan smiled and said, “They’ve always been pretty honest with me.”
Clabo actually praised Suh. He called him “a throwback. Back in the old days nobody would’ve batted an eye about the way he plays. Part of me appreciates the violence that he brings to the game.”
Reminded of comments by McClure and White, Clabo said, “I don’t need to try to hang out with him or have him over for a barbecue. I just have to block him.”
If the Falcons can do that, the line will be a non story, which is just what they want.

This is dumb. Of course O-lines get credit. The Patriots’ O-line gets a ton of credit for keeping Brady untouched. The Falcons’ line isn’t that good but it is pretty solid.

Our defense is good enough to win the Super Bowl. It’s all going to come down to our O-line play and Ryan getting the pressure of “must win playoffs” out of his head. If we go out there and play like we can, nobody can stop us. We had slip ups vs. the Saints and Panthers but those were division opponents, they played very hard against us and I really don’t think we wanted to win in Carolina. That game was basically nothing to us.

Remember reading in George Plimpton’s book “Paper Lion” his account of playing football with the Detroit Lions in 1966.
It’s common for players to conceal injuries for fear of an opponent exploiting it or losing their starting position. Alex Karras was one of their defensive tackles with a style much like Suh’s. I concealed a rather significant injury and played without a complaint or even the trainer aware of it.
In the interview after the game the Bear’s guard a rookie a high draft choice who played across from Karras bragged at how Karras wasn’t that tough and was overrated. Karras quietly fumed recalls Plimpton, also made aware after the fact. Karras circled the date of the next Bear’s game with the Lions.
The first play of the game Karras dented and the rookies metal face mask with a vicious forearm shiver that set the tone for the game. At the end of the fourth quarter Karras visited the rookie thoroughly thrashed rookie and delivered the final blow with the comment: “Nice game a#@breath!”
Best not to incite any of these modern day goliaths with inflammatory comments.

If Matt Ryan gets hurt we can DEFIENTLY kiss the season and any playoff hopes goodbye. OL needs to STEP UP this week and protect matt ryan like they did against the Giants. I hope this game is over by halftime so we can pull the starters in the 2nd half.
William Moore most likely wont be back until playoff time, and we cant afford anymore injuries.

I think the more interesting topic here is what can the Lions do to get a top 4 seed next year in the playoffs. I say… find a decent receiver or tight end to take pressure off Calvin (the best WR in the NFL!), upgrade the secondary, and find a coach who can reel in Suh. Stafford will be fine, hes twice the QB Arron Murrey will ever be!

Last week the O line had a good game protecting Matt against a Giant defense that isn’t what it used to be. They rank last in most defensive stats, including last in sacks. This week we face a Lion defense which has a dozen more sacks than the Gmen. I’m pretty sure the Offense will step up to the plate and pay special attention to “the boy named Suh” ( thanks Mike “Choke” , great line!!) I’m sure they remember last year and like they say…”payback is h@ll”! I’m thinking maybe a 10 point game, say 24-14. All in all, I think we Falcon fans should be rightly proud of our team this year. Sure beats the doldrums of the 70’s and 80’s!

I have tried to get him to do that on several occasions, but he is more about showing how smart he is, and how dumb we are. He comes on here and starts throwing insults around just to get the attention he needs. If we just ignore him, he’ll probably go away! Can’t believe Jeff puts up with it. However, I guess it does boost the blog entries.

Until they can consistently win in the playoffs and get a SB ring…they will continue to be a good regular season team. Even with the win over the Giants…Can they beat them in the post season after the Giants adjust or better yet…Matt Ryan has yet to see the likes of Aldon Smith of the 49ers who has terrorized just about every team he’s played against…the real test for the Falcons doesn’t come in the regular season….We will see what they’re made of when they have to see a team like the 49ers. You think they don’t get respect now…let them lose again in the playoffs this year and they’ll be that much respected…

Here’s a real debate, how can a team with one real offensive target being led by a QB who is about the NFL record for the most pass attempts in the history of the NFL has to somehow not turn the ball over 3 or more times with no running game of any circumstance while passing the ball 50 times?

@ Realistic… I agree completely. The Falcons have shown periods of excellence this year, but not on a consistent basis. I love my Falcons, but this year has been a test of patience. We have the players, we have the coordinators and a pretty darn good coach, but it still doesn’t seem like the complete package. I too have concerns about the playoffs, the 49′ers scare me, but I’m also watching the Seahawks. Their QB is quite a player. But if we host them at the dome, I think we’ll be ok.
Mind you, after all the terrible years of being a fan, these last few years have seemed like a dream. At least now, when I wear my 1990 Starter jacket, I don’t get laughed at! I’m still thinking that this team is different. Can’t explain it, it just feels that way. Either way, I’ll support them all the way!
Go Falcons!

If Goodell had a set of nerts then Suh would have been suspended for kicking Flacco in the twigss & berries. But the weak Commish 9as proven by the Saints bounty-gate dismissal) should wear a dress in the booth. Weak man, very weak.

This o line excels at pass blocking but doesn’t run block well. When they pass block they use quickness to neutralize the speed of the outside DE’s and that is what they are good at. But when it comes to run blocking, they need to get a push on the line and that is where they are weak. That’s why we can’t get a first down on 3rd and 1. We get manhandled when it requires a push.

@mgm…very true. I think last Sunday they showed a little improvement against a pretty big D line on the run. I sometimes think we have the mindset that on a 3rd and short, you must run between the tackles. I think our OC has enough in his playbook to compensate for the lack of push. I wouldn’t mind seeing something different using the speed of ‘Quizz or even A. Smith. Hate to say it, but I miss Mr. Dahl!

Fan since 66,
I said the same to his post yesterday. He corrected it, and I replied that it didn’t seem to improve it any, either way.
It does seem that he is not happy with the Falcons, reading what he writes ?
2012 is the Falcons’ best chance. I believe he is a rain on that parade poster, if that is what qualifies as a Falcons’ post ?
Like you Fan since 66, I have been too. And, like you too, I see JSS only posts as ones only to say how stupid everyone is with a qb doing whatever he said Matt Ryan is doing.
So, according to JSS, if we are actually happy with The Dawgs and actually happy with the Falcons, we should pack ourselves up from HIS BLOG, because by God, he doesn’t agree with where we are. I presume, therefore, if the Falcons were doing whatever the hell it is he wants the Falcons to be doing, instead of what the Falcons are doing, that he would still say that we aren’t doing whatever the hell it is he wants the Falcons to be doing instead, which wouldn’t warm his heart either. Right ?
I read his worthless drivel, corrected, or uncorrected, and have no concept of why he is so mad at the entire world. What does he want, since he wants the blog to be all about him, right ?

You posted it in public JSS. You posted the URL Link to the Kibbles and Bits ad from 1981. I had no idea you were not a serious poster, talking professional football, since talking the feeder system who make up 90 percent of the professional football players is not allowed, per you by your by God Rules. Kregg Lumpkin, for example. I enjoyed seeing Kregg Lumpkin Sunday playing us. I thought he did well. It is the goal of these guys to get in the League. Then, they would like to have a chance like Kregg Lumpkin had against us Sunday, in front of his home crowd. All of us watching. And, he knew we were all watching him. Great Stuff.
JSS, I really apologize for actually being interested in the game, the players, the strategy, the history, and enjoying other fans such as Fan since 66, for example.
My own personal goal in life is to grow up one day and be like you wish I would be in your eyes. That’s all I want for Christmas.

Only you would ramble off 5 paragraphs trying to vindicate your obsession with 18-22 year olds who went to school in Athens… Lumpkin was sitting at home two weeks ago. It doesn’t matter that he went to UGA or the Crisco Polytechnic in Swainsboro… If Andre Brown was healthy, he’d never see an NFL field again. You are obsessed with a system that is corrupt and even more damning is awash in blood money for no greater reason than to keep a bunch of crazy people entertained, not the bettering of the education of any those young men…
Enough of that cesspool, I feel the slime dripping from walls just considering it…
As far as your backhand slaps like 18th century dilettante, history is broader and way more darn diverse than the SEC, the pay-for-pay monstrosity of the corrupt post Oklahoma/Penn State/UGA -vs- the National Collegiate Athletic Association environment, or your myopic slant of what is relevant historical data… False store bought loyalties are just that, you posting 25 paragraphs of pure gibberish is going to change that… Ask anybody that was a Boise State fan, Utah, or the myriad of other programs that have prostituted themselves what the system is, was, and will be…
Lastly, you were not the person being answered with the post that you stuck your nose in… I want you to let that point to sink in… You can pontificate and others can gravy-train as they always do on the matter, but it is a pure unadulterated fact. I don’t correct you or anyone to make you better, that is your job as a adult. I will address falsehoods, myths, and generally outright lies (that is greater and different than a falsehood). Like think is available for people like you and 66 on a multitude of blogs (especially the D3 Falcons “Fan” Blog). Still, you refuse to avail yourselves of it as the outlet for your need for such affirmation… This is Jeff Schultz’s blog, 66 refuses to see or understand that point, no matter how many times that man tells him that fact… As the old saying goes, that is a sign of insanity… I’ve told folks like you over and over, I can careless if you like me or hate… I will not let bloggers however, disrespect the brand or take shots at people who have place being in a place derision simply because of my association with them.

@ Thomas Brown…man…I am almost speechless! I think you and I have been insulted, but not quite sure. I always believed that there was nothing wrong with supporting your local, or for that matter, non-local collegiate team. In spite of what was just written above, the “system” does better most of the young adults who attend on scholarships. I speak as someone who attended college on an athletic scholarship, and the time spent there was one of the best learning experiences of my life. Most of these young adults who attend because of their athletic ability DO improve themselves and use the experience to get a jump start on the “real world”. Granted, some blow the chance, but most of them, like me don’t become a professional athlete, rather they enter the business world having a greater knowledge of how to suceed.
As for this being Jeff’s blog…duhhh! Never said it wasn’t, and don’t pretend to be a moderator, or self-proclaimed blog guru. I just like to blog with people who like to discuss the Falcons. Given that the AJC is the local media outlet for the Falcons, I read the blogs. I never intended to get in a pis$ing match with a pseudo-intellectual who sometimes puts forth sentences so long and convoluted that I, with my limited intellect, can’t wrap around my head. I just find it frustrating that we can’t blog about the good and yes, the bad, about our Falcons without being continually insulted.
As for the above diatribe, gotta say, I can’t really figure out what is being said. Can someone enlighten me?
Oh, and btw… Go Falcons!

@Dman, I agree somewhat with what you are saying. However, I don’t think we need to go into the game with the mindset that we intentionally foul to protect Matt. I think our guys are good enough to protect Matt without that. We would just be lowering ourselves to the level of those we berate. I agree that the last meeting with Suh & Co. left a bad taste in our mouths. It’s kinda like the bad taste we had for the Giants after the playoff game last year. Well, we got our revenge for that last week, and I think we can do the same to the Lions this week. And do it in a legal and professional manner!

Crappy organizations focus on dirty players… or what they did to us last year…
The old Falcons (R. Smith years) would be talking about last year vs. Lions and what they were gonna do. The Lions organization blows and they are most likely talking trash among themselves about the Falcons…
Our goals are MUCH larger than revenge, Suh, the Lions or this game.
The best thing we can do is bury this team as quickly as possible and get Matt Ryan off the field healthy and move on.

I think they should line big Mike Johnson up and fullback and have him lead block straight up Sue’s tushy for a whole series of downs non=stop. Three in a row or if they get a 1st down keep going until his big butt is sucking air like an open chest wound. And then do it again and again and again, especially if we get a good lead. Johnson 1st, maybe have another lineman pull, maybe Claybo, and run Turner behind straight at the boy named Sue.

Yes, I too was on the sports team at college. I was a walk-on. I was never on scholarship, but I didn’t need it anyway. My whole family went to college, and like you got up and ran with the team every morning. Then, ate. Then, went to classes. Then lunch. Then, practices. Then, dinner and studied. I, too, would not trade all that for anything. I actually had a great time doing it all. Never a dull moment. I knew I was never going pro, too. And, boy did I take advantage of my opportunity to get an education. Go Falcons, too ! Have a Merry Christmas. And, the other guy ? I could care what he means when he writes. Like I said, 1 read one once. Never did figure out what he was saying. I think he was trying to say that he does not like Matt Ryan. I mean, how could he with what he writes ? Seems to me like Matt Ryan is a Top 10 Quarterback. He’s young. He’s durable. He can absolutely put the ball in there. Did you see that TD in the back right corner Sunday ? That was beautiful. I guess there is something wrong with playing sports in college, since he is only a professional fan of professional sports, you know ? Don’t tell him that 90 % of the players all played in the feeder system : College Football.

However, if you do, bait his sorry self by asking him, like I did last year, why the Falcons don’t run screens. He went on and on about how they didn’t have the talent and personell to run them. LOL. Look at them this year, from Yasinkas on ESPN:
We’ve talked a lot about how coordinator Dirk Koetter has made the screen pass a much bigger part of Atlanta’s offense this season.
Let’s talk a little more about Atlanta’s screen game, which was rarely used by former coordinator Mike Mularkey. Koetter is letting Matt Ryan throw lots of screens and they’re working.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, Ryan has completed 50 of 57 attempts on screens. His completion and attempt numbers are second in the league behind Buffalo’s Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has completed 64 of 74 screens.
Ryan’s 374 yards on screens rank No. 5 in the league. But the most important stat is that Ryan leads the league in touchdown passes on screens with five.

They had some success in weeks 3-8, since then the opponents with exception of 3 screens by Rodgers where caught over pursing on some jump stop have been blown-up… And just so you know, 60 of the 374 yards for all those screen attempts you are fawning over came on 1 play… Your so-called answer to the screen game (Rodgers) has not gained more 32 yards on one play… Now go and look at their negative yard and minimum gain production. Don’t burn your tiny brain, you may need those cells in January… Since the real refs came back, there has been a marked decline… You need to stick to day trading genius, it is for the knuckleheads!

“Producing 90% of all NFL players with a corrupt system does not validate the system.”
_________________________________________________
College football does such a poor job producing nearly every single solitary NFL player. Just do away with college football, JSS, eh ? I am sure that is almost about to happen any day now, JSS that college football just ups and quits ?

_________________________________________________
College football is not bettering the education of any of those young men ? Excuse me, the majority of college football players get an education and a degree to prove it. It is what the NCAA is all about. At the University of Georgia, and at nearly every other college, the football players graduate. Then, we come in here and read that you say : College football is not bettering the education of any of those young men.
___________________________
That statement is a bold-faced lie.
___________________________
JSS, sir, that statement just now that college football is not bettering the education of any of those young men is as FAR FROM THE TRUTH as it can be. This is an example of your “falsehoods, myths, and generally outright lies (that is greater and different than a falsehood.)”
Imagine contemplating your navel in here stating to us all that college football is not bettering the education of any of those young men ?

Legend in your own mind. Telling us that you expose “falsehoods, myths, and generally outright lies (that is greater and different than a falsehood.)” Then, post 1st a post for us all to read addressing all of us dogs’ fans, whom you do nothing but rail against daily in every single solitary post, and then you pontificate to us all that nah all we dogs’ fans come running for cheese and nibble treats.

Thomas Brown…
You’re an embarrassment as blog commentator…
The Kibble N Bits clip (which happens to include a Sheep Dog by the way) was directed at that slime ball Big Ray comment on December 17, 2012 @ 1:17PM on a totally different blog…
I don’t give a flying leap about your so-called “Dawg Nation” or any D-1 related college football or basketball program… There is something fundamentally wrong with a person so obsessed with the lives of 18-22 year old non-paid (well check that, it is the SEC) players… Your craziness is doing no one associated with the Georgia Athletic Association (because that is what you’re truly loyal to, not the University of Georgia) and it’s money-making entity known as Georgia Football any favors…
Since you’re a relative newbie on the AJC blogs, you act like someone is living undercover lives… The oldsters and the majority of the AJC columnists & beat writers (excluding O’Brien) that I’ve interacted offline know my academic and occupational background… Born and raised here in Georgia, spent one year at very exclusive and competitive public prep school in Boston. Proud Eastern Michigan University graduate, former Hawks forward Grant Long was my classmate. Oh, I majored in Social Sciences and Telecommunications and Film Production, and minored in Far Eastern History. I proudly wore the USA singlet 6 different times between 1980 and 1985. I ran against and beat multiple Olympians during that time. I could go on, but it always get people like you and your ilk in a huff (considered bragging)… Gave up my two seasons of eligibility to run for the fabled Athletic Attic nationally sponsored track program (nationally and internationally)… I hold Masters degrees in Entertainment Business and New Media.
Oh you typed “navel,” did you intend to use the word “novel” instead? That was true irony coming from you… Rant away Thomas Brown, I will get to your crazy talk on the NCAA/ the old CFA (which you conveniently skip over) another time… You’re an enabler of corruption, don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone…
