The #Falcons gave up 21.9 PPG last year, 17th best in the league (and better than Raheem’s #Rams.) I’m not sure why so many fans expect a massive regression on defense. Raheem will have that unit humming.
@RiseUpReader New scheme , new play caller ( first timer ) less depth , Grady coming off ACL, didn’t add to pass rush and to rely on a rookie rarely works. Other than that
@RiseUpReader I mean the best QB we faced was Trevor Lawrence or Jared Goff.
@RiseUpReader Why do we continue clamoring for more & more & more offensive weapons but settle for “we’re good enough” on defense?
@RiseUpReader our defense last year faced easiest competition in league
@RiseUpReader Probably because they were a top 10 defense and then completely collapsed in the last 5 games.
@RiseUpReader Because pur defense over performed by a lot last year
@RiseUpReader Yep, especially with such a soft schedule. BPA at 8 and if that is a WR then mostly defense with the other picks. Offense would be set and you can continue building defense next offseason.
@RiseUpReader If you had one final guess as to who falcons go at 8, who do you think it’ll be?
@RiseUpReader Having a offense that won’t put the defense in bas spots will help with that as well lol
