Garranimal Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Not looking to take a beating here, but did Troy Vincent look totally out of position all day yesterday? To be fair, it is the first i have noticed this thus far this season. But at times i kept thinking that he had no clue how to play safety. I am looking for comments, tell me i am wrong and why, maybe my perception was skewed...his is an ex-dolphin and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 The whole defense seemed to be out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Anyone see Spikes completely turned around, looking at the safeties, during the Falcon's drive to the scoreboard endzone early on? He wasn't paying attention and got completely burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a football thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I thought that he was trying to call a timeout, no? 454948[/snapback] No, he was not trying to call a timeout. He was pounding his fists together, which was supposed to tell Vincent to move over and assume the responsibility of covering the receiver. Vincent was awful yesterday. That's the worst game he's had since he arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yes, and he was right. Also, I thought that he was trying to call a timeout, no? 454948[/snapback] That's what I thought at first, but looking at the replays, he was trying to get Vincent to slide his coverage over (as others have said). In hindsight, he SHOULD have called timeout. I'm sure the Falcons saw the confusion and snapped quickly to take advantage. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an excellent play by the Falcons and a terribly play by the Bills all around. You cannot have your back turned to the ball when they snap it. It could have been that Vick saw it and quick snapped but both Vincent and TKO totally blew it on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one play, Duckett ran into him with a 10 yard or so head of steam. All the lawyer could do was crouch down in front of him and try not to get killed, but he actually made the tackle. Our DTs have to step up their game. Without TKO, their production is that much more crucial. I hope Coach Krumrie kicks some ass this week.

pkwwjd Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 TV showed last week that he cannot tackle a RB with a head of steam. Cadillac ran him over several times. Granted, he should lose that battle based on the size differential, but still, that's his job as safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Coach Krumrie kicks some ass this week. 455096[/snapback] I was just telling a co-worker about Duckett's first carry of the game, when he steamrolled Milloy. That had to hurt. I am a Vincent fan as well. Unfortunately, guys have days like he did yesterday. I think yesterday clearly showed though that Vincent is in the right position. On plays where he was forced to cover receivers (specifically Finneran), he got beat. Those cover skills have diminished. I think the injury to Dez White that forced him out of the Atlanta lineup actually helped the Falcons yesterday. Finneran's size and reliable hands helped Atlanta immensely yesterday.
