Packers/Falcons Keys

Let me start by saying that in preface to game keys I will always list the following 3 for each game.

First the team needs to score TD's not FG's. Good teams do this. Second each game the special teams need to make a play be it a TD return, a key punt, strong coverage work, blocked extra point. Third turnovers need to be created. This along with special teams can lead to short fields making it easier to get 6 than three.

A long punt return to the 20 giving the offense a short TD drive is one way these can occur. Another might be good kick coverage pinning a team deep, then a force fumble leading to another short TD.

Call that general keys, my philosophy of football etc.


Ball Protection:  If Rogers plays he must throw it to our team and Grant must hold onto the ball.  
Defensive Line V. Falcons Run:  Falcons are # 1 rushing team, D line is depleted, what comes of this?

Falcons No Huddle:  Atlanta may run this package, can the Packers stop it and not get fatigued.

Drivers Drive:  What's up with Donald Drivers non productivity?  Will this be fixed?

Special Teams:  How much help will the Punter provide?
