The most effective argument for Vick when it comes to Sunday's game is he alters the defensive game plan and forces the defense to prepare differently and react to his "mobility".
The traditional approach is the "spy" linebacker. That is not effective if the "spy" gets faked and misses a tackle. Therefore the a containment type of scheme has to be employed. It requires good CB's in man to man coverage. This will be a rare form of defense for the Packers. I would assume that the Falcon's divisional opponents are more effective at it having practiced it more. A TE can help but Crumpler is averaging only 1 catch per quarter.
When Falcons are on Offense:
Yards/Game 14th..........Packer Defense 9th
Yards/Play 13th (T).......Packer Defense 12th
Passing 28th................Packer Defense 12th
Rushing 1st..................Packer Defense 13th
It would appear that it favors the team with the lead.
When the Packers are on Offense:
Yards/Game 17th..........Falcons Defense 22nd
Yards/Play 13th (T).......Falcons Defense 18th
Passing 5th..................Falcons Defense 17th
Rushing 30th................Falcons Defense 18th
Packers will be more prone to pass which is riskier and possible lower time of possesion. The Falcons may have trouble protecting a lead.
The Packers average 21 points a game and allow 20.
The Falcons average 24 points a game and allow 18.
The Falcons have 24 more points scored than the Packers.
The Falcons have allowed 19 more points than the Packers.
It looks like it will be a close game. Nothing new to Packer fans who know their average loss is by 5.7 points. The difference will be some intangible or a kick, or a turnover. The Packers really need an early lead for a victory.
