    I’m hoping you’re right. Abe’s status is still up in the air. Without his speed off the edge, Rogers has enough time to eviscerate the secondatry. I’m also concerned about Ryan getting rid of the ball before Clay Matthews gets into his face. It’s either going to be a close win for the Falcons or a Green Bay blow out.
