Is it finally time to talk meaningful football?

[Fiji Mariner]

So many questions heading into the opener:

Will the OL that hasn’t had much live action look decent or will they look disjointed?

Will they be able to hold vs what was a pretty solid pass rush last season for the Falcons?

Will the Falcons pass rush even be good missing two key pieces?

How will the tandem of RBs play out?

Will the middle of the field finally be exploited?

Will Old Man Rodgers look even older yet?

Who steps up from the WR group?

How will the revamped secondary look?

Can the D handle Tua, Robinson, Pitts and London?

Will Watt return closer to his pre lung puncture form?

Do the new contract rotational pieces Herbig/Benton start earning that coin?

Does Stefanski still know how to school the Steelers defense?

What actually will McCarthy’s system look like in function?

So many questions…..

Hope the answers are good ones

Damn I’m ready for some real football
+3.5 at home tells me we could be in for a close one as the starters finally take the field together in live action.

These are the same questions, IMO. Shades was as predictable as a eight year old girl who doesn't get her way. MM will probably be different. He will at least not be last year's version of Tomlin. Things have to be different. Stefanski will have to figure things out for once.

I know MM is an offensive minded coach, but I am super excited to see what our defense is going to be like.

Good questions. I don't think Rodgers will look older...yet. It's September. Now at about Week 9?

That's probably a job that all will be pleased for you to handle.

Your first question regarding the OL will probably answer most of the rest, if they struggle which I’m guessing they will, the game will be up for grabs in the fourth quarter. Extremely concerned with Cook at RT and the rest becoming acclimated to their new positions. Pass protection, running the ball, eliminating mental penalties, this will determine ball control and obviously points on the board. If they don’t give the defense some breathers, especially most of the guys first real action, I imagine fatigue is going to set in, forecast of 82 with humidity in the mid60s to low 70s. I realize this goes both ways but I’d rather see a team from the south visit here in December than early September regardless of if they practice indoors or out.
