LooGie Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm looking to find out how good ATL is against punt and kickoff returns. Are there any sites I can find this? All I can find is what ATL produces, not allows. I'm in a in a league I'm in where I don't have a valid starting WR, (except for like Henry and Bruce and Kennison off the WW) and I'm trying to decide if I should start E.Drummond (we get pts for returns yardage) and I really need to shake things up in this league. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) I couldn't find a link but here are the return yards the Falcons allowed each week. They don't seem to allow too may return yards. Week 1 - Carolina: Kick Returns = 64 yds Punt Returns = 13 yds Week 2 - Tampa Bay: Kick Returns = 35 yds Punt Returns = 10 yds Week 3 - New Orleans: Kick Returns = 42 yds Punt Returns = 11 yds Week 4 - Arizona: Kick Returns = 125 yds Punt Returns = 22 yds Week 5 - Bye Week 6 - NY Giants Kick Returns = 40 yds Punt Returns = 1 yd Week 7 - Pittsburgh Kick Returns = 88 yds Punt Returns = 0 yds Week 8 - Cincinnati Kick Returns = 88 yds Punt Returns = 14 yds Edited November 3, 2006 by max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD6405 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 probably a better barometer would be the averages they give up. Also you have to hope Atlanta scores a bunch to get those kickoff returns. Worry more about the Detroit defense and the average returns against Atlanta. How many yards they give up total on yards won't matter though if Atlanta doesn't score much, because by totals, it doesn't seem the punt returns work.

I'm thinking ATL should score like crazy against DET, and give alot of kick off yards, and probably barely ever punt. seem like a smart play here?

CD6405 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Yea, I'd start them because if anything the Falcons can get in the redzone to kick FGs and the lions defense is pretty porous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get 20 extra bonus points for 150 return yards, so even though ATL doesn't usually give up alot of return yards, Drummond should have enough chances to get over 100 yards. it really is looking like the way to go now.

Thanks. Shoot a pm to DMD, he's the owner of this site. I'm not sure if he'll help you or not, you did insult him in the Colston thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The Falcons have Omare Lowe as one of their gunners and contain on kickoffs. And since nobody could hope to gain any yardage against Omare Lowe, Drummond is a horrible pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
