Atlanta run defense - 204 attempts against them for 943 yards, an average of 4.6 yards/att. and 117.9 yards per game. They have allowed 8 rushing touchdowns, and the longest run of the year allowed was only 24 yards - best in the NFL.

In terms of yards allowed per game, they are 18th in the NFL.
In terms of TDs allowed, they are T20th in the NFL.

theyre a quick undersized D....they dont give up big chunks...but you can pound on them...

Weeks-RB-Att-Yds-TDs
1 westbrook 12-47-0....philly doesnt run, and westy's not a bruiser
2 alexander 28-144-1....that could be expected from shaun
3 mcgahee 27-140-1....big game for willis
4 m moore 14-57...again like westy, not a big bruiser
5 dillon 23-106...patrick pass stole a gimme td from corey
6 a smith/a stecker 28-194-2...backs split carries for huge day
7 c martin 14-28-1....its the jets...put 8 or 9 in the box when vinny's the qb
9 r brown/r williams 22-129-1....backs split carries for a respectable day....

so in short, if you run at least 20 times, and have a good physical running back, then you can exploit the quick, undersized atlanta run defense....

So what do you guys think his value is in a keeper league? Will Fisher/Green/Davenport be back next year, or do you think Gado has the chance of winning the starting job for next year if he plays well?

Great day for Gado-

Long term value.... he looks good thus far but its only been two games-

[The Lung]

Great day for Gado-

Now that's an understatement!

Dude had 25 rushes for 103 yards and 2 TDs, along with 4 catches for 5 yards and a shovel-pass reception touchdown!

i'm betting he does well next week, too, against minnesota. the big quesiton will come after that. personally, i'm thinking about getting a trade done with him before my league's nov. 18 deadline. his value will be very good after this.

Ugh. My opponent picked him up off waivers...I had the #1 priority but opted not to burn it on him. I'm now down 23 with Akers and JJ left vs. Bledsoe. Needless to say, if I had Gado instead of him, the script would be flipped.

If you can deal him, perhaps you should try. He should rip MIN a new one, but his Weeks 15-16 schedule is pretty tough, especially since BAL should have Lewis and Reed back by then...instead of being a shade of their former selves now.

yea,....after minnesota...the packers' schedule is brutal....

im going to attempt to deal him....but only if i win in the trade....dont under-sell gado...
