In a chat live from Miami, the former NFL quarterback said Chandler has all the ability in the world, it is just a matter of getting some time to throw the ball. Salisbury also told users what the Atlanta defense needs to do to try and contain Terrell Davis and he pinpointed one special teams player who may have a serious impact on this game.

Below is an edited transcript from Salisbury's Jan. 27 chat:

	Salisbury says Tim Dwight could have an impact on the Super Bowl.

Nathan: Do you think that Tim Dwight has a bright future with the Falcons?

Sean Salisbury: I'm one of the fortunate ones because I got to cover him twice last year when I was doing sideline work for college football. His agent also hired me after the season to work with Tim -- throw routes to him and stuff. I always thought he is as exciting of a player as you will find in the NFL. The kid can do it all and his future is great. He could make a difference in this game.

Toby Lavergne: How will the Atlanta defensive Line match up assignment wise versus the Denver running game? Will there be anything special that they don't already do normally?

Sean Salisbury: The key to that is getting a lot of penetration. They have an undersized offensive line, but they are quick. They get to that level and they cut people off by playing angles. You have to hit gaps and you have to get penetration. Take away Terrell Davis' vision because when he gets going, there will be holes available to him. They have to make sure, whether its a free safety or a backside linebacker, to keep him contained so that he doesn't break back and kill you with the long run. Make sure people don't get into your feet so that you can have vision on Davis. Taking away cutback lanes and being physical is going to be huge.

Mat: How much, if at all, will playing on a natural surface effect the Falcons?

Sean Salisbury: I think it's overrated. I know Atlanta has played a bunch of games on artificial fields but here's how I feel about that: In a Super Bowl game if that affects you, you have a problem. It's overrated. Most players want to play on grass.

Dan: Do you think Denver will try to go after Chris Chandler with a lot of blitzes and stunts in the beginning, knowing that the offensive line and Chandler probably will have butterflies having never been in a game this big before to try and rattle them?

Sean Salisbury: There's no question in my mind that you have to go after him. Although Chris evades the rush and throws well on the run, he isn't Mark Brunell or Steve Young.

SALISBURY'S FILE

Former NFL quarterback Sean Salisbury joined ESPN in August 1997 as sideline reporter for college football games on ESPN2. He also served as an on-site studio analyst at the 1998 Orange Bowl (Nebraska vs. Tennessee) for ESPN's College GameDay and SportsCenter. In 1998 he was named an original analyst for NFL 2Night, the five-night per week League news and information program on ESPN2, and a contributor for Sunday NFL Countdown. Salisbury's eight-year NFL career began in 1986 with the Seattle Seahawks, followed by stints with Indianapolis (1987), Minnesota (1990-94) and San Diego (1996). In between, he went to the Canadian Football League, where he led Winnipeg to the Gray Cup in 1988 and was the league's leading passer in 1989. Upon his return to the NFL with Minnesota he was named the NFL's Player of the Week in 1992 when he threw for 386 yards against the Denver Broncos.

He's got great presence, however. You have to hit him early. I think you have to mix it up and attack him early. If you're able to get a couple of interceptions or tip balls early on because of the pressure, you can get up by 14 or 17 points.

However, if you let Chandler stand back there in man coverage, he'll beat you. If you let him stand back there in a zone defense, he'll pick you a part. He'll throw for 350 yards.

Casey Durham: Can Chandler carry the Falcons in the Super Bowl like he did in the NFC championship?

Sean Salisbury: I think he has proven to us that he can. He did it on the road. I don't think he wants to have to carry them, however. He's confident enough too. But in a perfect world however, you want Jamal Anderson to get about 30 carries. If it comes down to a throwing war, is Chandler good enough? You bet, I think he's the best red zone quarterback in the league right now.

Mike Jordan: Does Atlanta or Denver have the home-field advantage in Miami?

Sean Salisbury: Atlanta's proximity is closer, but Denver plays on grass. I think you have a little of both. Denver has pressure defending its title. Atlanta has pressure being its first time there. I don't think there is a home-field advantage.

A month and a half ago, Denver played here, too. They got their tales whipped, but they know the field. But you know what, the second they step on the field, it becomes just another game.

Jason Domres: Who do you think will win it all? Can Atlanta stop Terrell Davis?

Sean Salisbury: Only two teams have stopped Terrell this year, but you saw what happened in Miami. If you stop Terrell and John doesn't have a good game, you win. But most of the time John will find a way to get it done also.

Can you stop him? I don't know, but I think you can find a way to try to contain him.

I'm taking Denver 31-27, but if Atlanta wins time of possession and the turnover war, no doubt in my mind that Atlanta can beat them. But I've got Denver by four.

Dan: How is John Elway's condition for Sunday, will he be able to say that he is close to 100 percent, or will he rely on Terrell to carry most of the load early on?

Sean Salisbury: I think you always rely on Terrell, who is the David Duval of golf -- he's the man. John understands that, and whether he's 100 percent or not, adrenaline will carry him through. There isn't a player on the field at this stage that's 100 percent. The bruises haven't healed, they're tired and they are sore. The bottom line is that they get through that for this game. You have a whole offseason to deal with that.

Jeff: Does Atlanta have to play a flawless game to beat Denver or are they good enough to overcome a couple of mistakes and still beat Denver?

Sean Salisbury: I think they are good enough to overcome a couple of mistakes, they did against Minnesota. Flawless? I don't know, there's never been one played. No one has ever done that. It also depends on how well Denver plays, too.

I do believe they can overcome a couple of mistakes, but turnovers in your own territory will kill you. They have to avoid that.
