Atlanta Falcons: 3 keys to beating the Washington Commanders
Third Atlanta Falcons key: Get consistent push on the Commanders’ talented defensive line
Montez Sweat, Daron Payne, Jonathan Allen, and possibly Chase Young, those are the guys that the Atlanta Falcons’ offensive linemen must overpower in order to win the game. It is much easier said than done.
Those four make up probably the best defensive line in the NFL, or at least the most talented. There is no secret that the Falcons want to pound the ball but have fun trying to do that if you don’t push the big guys backward.
There is just so much speed and strength among those four players. It is a scary challenge for the five Falcons’ blockers after they are coming off of a spectacular game, but it was against a pretty bad Bears defensive line.
It will show us whether or not this offensive line is for real as they will be playing the best today.
