Dan Quinn: Atlanta Falcons transitioning Tyson Jackson to defensive tackle, expecting pass rush boost

The Atlanta Falcons have no meaningful pass rush to brag about. In fact, their pass rush is downright embarrassing. Given that, it's something the front office and coaching staff are looking to improve as mini camp kicks off this week. Obviously part of that involves personnel. (Put simply, no amount of careful scheming will help this team if they don't have the appropriate personnel.) But in the meantime, the team has to make due with the players under contract. One such player is Tyson Jackson.

The coaches are trying desperately to make Tyson a valuable, contributing member of this team.
