Been thinking about this a lot so i did a search to find out the reported 40 yrd dash times of both players. I know we don't love Bleacher Report but for this it works well.
Sherman is big, strong, great instincts and toughness but isn't fast. He runs a 4.5.
DT is big, strong, great route runner and also very tough. Ummm but he runs a 4.4 maybe even a sub 4.4.
Also DT is a master at getting off the LOS.
My predicition is there is no way the Hawks will try and go man to man on him. If they do Thomas will beat him like a drum IMO and have a big day.
Eric Decker will be wide open in man coverage and so will welker.
Hawks have no choice but to bracket Julious Thomas with Chancellor and a linebacker, roll Thomas to help with DT.
DT is too fast for anyone on the hawks to play man to man all game long. Maybe here and there but no way all game long.
I don't see the Hawks being able to do what they usually do, which is robber cover 1 and drop a safety into the box to stop the run.
Meanwhile our defense will just play its game. Knighton and company will try and clog the middle, the fast linebacker can beat Lynch to the corners and our dbacks will do the best they can in a mix of man to man and zone from our secondary.
They can be gotten to a little but I don't think the Seahags can hang with the Broncos. GOAT at QB, one of the leagues best olines, and IMO the leagues best group of WR/TE.
