Stephen Jackson plays in the NBA. The Falcons RB is Steven Jackson.

Anybody really worried about him though? Bradshaw had a good game, but its not opponents' rushing attacks that worry me. It's tight ends and elite WR's. Hopefully Patterson is back so Grimes has better help.
Though I guess it helps to not have to worry as much about the run game regardless. -
Was surprised at the Colts success on the ground against our D. Hopefully we tighten that up before Atlanta, who will really commit to the run, I would imagine.
I don't fear Jackson though. He's a solid back who can do it all, but his days of 'going off' are behind him. Quizz is a guy who can make big plays and change the game, imo. I'm a pretty big fan of his.
But in general with Atl, I think it's just that their balance sets up the playaction big play stuff on the perimeter, and opens up the middle for Gonz. Their RBs aren't great, but their commitment to running is key.
In other news, Ray Rice got hurt his hip yesterday too, and we play Balt after Atl. Guy hasn't missed a game in years...Weird. He's certainly a game-changer who consistently abuses LBs in coverage. Would be a big plus for us if he misses our game or isn't 100%. -
I think there's a lot of opportunity for Miami to beat Atlanta.
Steven Jackson will potentially be out, Roddy White appears hindered by injury, and Tony Gonzalez hasn't been particularly good, and their tackles have arguably been the worst duo in the league so far, with the only respite coming from Chris Long playing through injury.
They've got to figure out a solution for Julio Jones, basically. -
Hit Matt Ryan early and often. Score TDs! And score early (like Colts game) get crowd pumped, amped and rowdy....our D will respond!!!

I've been saying for a couple weeks that we match up well with them. Besides Julio Jones, I still think the Dolphins have to key in on Tony Gonzalez. And my x-factor from them is Harry Douglas, who is underrated as a #3 receiver (if that isn't redundant). -
