Moneyball – Week 5 Review
A strong performance for the Falcons, taking advantage of a lot of early opportunities.
Here are the offensive numbers. There was a holding call that did not get attributed to any player officially. I gave it to Blalock from the looks of it.

Defensively, the team was disruptive. It was interesting to see them in nickel almost every snap. Brent Grimes played almost every snap from my count. The team got a lot of pressure on Shaun Hill, but several times I didn’t give any defender credit because it seemed like Hill had happy feet and was anticipating the rush more so than actually feeling it. Hill basically played scared. I think Hill is a good player, but the San Fran offense was completely out of sync and not at all prepared for this game.
