Rookie Travis Claridge has started at tackle and guard, rookie Michael Thompson has started at tackle, free agent Chris Banks has started at guard and Ephraim Salamm, who has been hampered by a nagging knee injury since training camp, has started at tackle. We don't have problems when everybody executes. And when they can reasonably predict what play is coming, it puts the Falcons' offense at a huge disadvantage. Right now, however, neither running backs nor quarterbacks are enjoying success. I thought we'd be better on offense.
Execution is so difficult.
Reeves has other worries. Not only is his offense one of the worst in the league, the defense isn't far behind. We've all got to get better as professionals. New York is a game we can win. Everybody needs to work on their own execution and not worry about what the other guy's doing.
