Coach Smith’s film review
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Needed to wait until Coach Mike Smith spoke to the media today. He speaks at 4:20 p.m. on Monday. That’s later than most coaches around the league.
But that’s a good thing because he can’t say that “Well, you know I haven’t reviewed the film yet.” He’s already looked at the film by 4:20 p.m. and has some thoughtful responses.
Thought you’d like his take over just some more hard core analysis this week.
Smith gave three things that stood out for him by the offense and defense.
Coach noted that defensively the team created turnovers, started fast and had a goal line stand.
On offense he was impressed that they had no turnovers, gave up no sacks, scored 31 points and were nearly perfectly balanced with 186 yards rushing and 192 yards passing.
Also, Sam Baker was given the day off from film review because he was still sick and wide receiver Laurent Robinson has a left knee sprain.
Agree with Coach Smith’s breakdown? Worried about Baker? Will Harry Douglas and Brian Finneran have to step up if Robinson goes down?
