ATLANTA FALCONS
Coordinator Ed Donatell makes good use of rookie OLB Demorrio Williams, who likely will start next season if the team doesn't resign Matt Stewart. Williams plays alongside Keith Brooking, another fast linebacker, in nickel schemes and is as competent at blitzing as he is dropping into coverage. If he has a weakness, it's against the run--but only because he doesn't play enough in base situations. ... C Todd McClure is having the best season of his six-year career. He always has used his intelligence to compensate for a 286-pound frame that bigger defensive tackles could exploit, but now McClure has the benefit of running the zone- and cut-blocking schemes taught by line coach Alex Gibbs. McClure struggled earlier with cut blocks on the back side when he went to his left, but he has adjusted his technique and improved his first step after the snap.
SEE A DIFFERENT GAME: FBs Justin Griffith and Stanley Pritchett run deep pass routes that draw coverage, but more important, they provide downfield blocking when QB Michael Vick breaks free on scrambles. When Vick's reads are covered on rollouts, they try to improvise and give him a target downfield.--George Henry
CAROLINA PANTHERS
CB Chris Gamble has taken the punt return job from Jamall Broussard. Gamble could thrive in that role because he has exceptional speed and nice moves after playing some wide receiver in college. Broussard also is being replaced on kickoff returns, by Jamal Robertson. The coaches hope Robertson can break more tackles than Broussard and give the offense better field position. ... C Jeff Mitchell has provided valuable leadership during a rough transition period for the line. Mitchell is best as a run blocker. He's quick enough to block linebackers, and that's one reason the team has been running more inside lately. SEE A DIFFERENT GAME: The team is getting more production out of SLB Mark Fields after replacing him with Brandon Short in the starting lineup. Fields still gets plenty of playing time--mostly in passing situations in which he can make a big impact in coverage or as a pass rusher. Fields wasn't as effective in those situations early this season because his endurance was low after sitting out last season with Hodgkin's disease. The team has benefited from using Short on the early downs because he's a strong run defender.--Pat Yasinskas
