In Atlanta it's take away Julio Jones etc
anyhow I've seen with other upper tier football teams like the Pats Steelers you take away their number 1 threat then somebody else steps up does equal or greater damage.
the Bengals on offense doesn't have that consistent 2nd guy behind AJ that can really make defenses
pay for lockjng down AJ.
in Pittsburgh if Brown is neutralized then Bell just slices you vs run or recieving
then if those 2 or held in check then a Rogers or Bryant steps up
if Tyler Eifert was healthy he might be that guy.but he's more hurt than producing
in Atlanta Gabriel Sanu Coleman were just killing defenses when Jones wasn't getting involved  thoughts ??

You are definitely onto something with quality teams having other options to rely on, once the first option is taken away.  With Atlanta, the difference this year is clearly the signing of Alex Mack, making their rushing attack a truly viable option.  Atlanta has always had good 2nd and 3rd options in the pass (see Roddy White and Gonzales).  Now that their OL has transformed from being primarily pass pro, to a unit that can attack a defense up the gut, defenses are forced to defend the entire field every play.
