Pressure Ryan, Contain Jones
Week 1, Ryan was sacked 4 times against a tough Vikings Defense, but tossed 2 INTs and 2 TDs.
Week 2, Ryan was sacked only once, but tossed 3 INTs and also managed 3 TDs. The difference between game 1 and 2 seems to be that the viking were able to hold Julio Jones to pedestrian numbers (6 catches, 31 yards, 5.2 avg). In the PHI game, Jones had nearly the same number of catches, but was able to get some big plays (5 catches, 106 yards, 21.2 avg)
I think if we can get some pressure on Ryan (Atlanta has a decent OL), meanwhile keeping Jones under control we have a defensive formula that will work. Desir's status will be pretty key, not just if he will play, but if he does play, will he be healthy. If not, there will be a good bit of pressure on Wilson to step up. Also on Hooker, Willis, Geathers.
