Storylines: Falcons vs. Bucs
The Digital Media staff for the Atlanta Falcons meets every Monday morning to discuss potential storylines for the upcoming game. Here are the 14 items the staff is looking to cover this week.
Here's a look at the Digital Media idea board for this week.
Who will CB Darrelle Revis cover? The Bucs acquired the star defensive back during the offseason. Will he be on White? Gonzalez? Or will the defense play their patented zone?
The Tampa Bay Bucs are struggling to score on offense. RB Doug Martin and teammates are averaging 12.8 points per game.
RB Jacquizz Rodgers and the Falcons are averaging 24.4 points per game.
The Bucs will bring a new QB to the Georgia Dome Sunday. Mike Glennon is completing 58.1 percent of his passes in the two games as the starting quarterback.
TE Timothy Wright has been a bright spot for the Bucs this season. In his past three games, Wright has caught 13 passes for 138 yards.
When the official injury report comes out on Wednesday, all eyes will be on the status of RB Steven Jackson.
The injury update of WR Roddy White will also garner much attention this week.
The duel threat at tight end will be one to focus on this week. TE Tony Gonzalez is having another big year. The veteran has 33 receptions for 339 yards.
Rookie TE Levine Toilolo is starting to make a name for himself. Toilolo has two touchdowns in his previous three games.
The wide receivers on the Falcons will be called upon with the absence of Julio Jones. WR Harry Douglas may get his number called more often in the coming weeks.
WR Kevin Cone made his first career catch against the Jets on Monday night. Look for Cone to see more time on the field with WR Julio Jones now on injured reserve.
2nd year WR Drew Davis could also see more playing time now that WR Julio Jones in on injured reserve.
WR Brian Robiskie was just recently signed as a free agent. Will he have enough practice with the offense to be active this Sunday?
OL Lamar Holmes has played both right and left tackle this season. Where will he be this Sunday against Tampa Bay?
