ATLANTA -- There’s no simple fix when your defense is fresh off giving up almost 600 yards. Dan Quinn knows it.
But one has to wonder if the Atlanta Falcons coach is second-guessing himself after parting ways with last year’s defensive coordinator — Marquand Manuel -- and deciding to take over the defensive play-calling himself this season. It worked effectively in 2016, when Quinn took the duties from Richard Smith in Week 13 on the way to Super Bowl LI. However, the transition hasn’t been so seamless this time around.
Through four games, Quinn’s 1-4 Falcons have allowed 30.
