Pressuring and sacking the quarterback has been an area that the Falcons haven’t had a lot of success doing as a whole in recent years. Actually, there hasn’t been a consistent pass rush since the John Abraham days. To their credit though, the front office has made an effort this offseason to add talent via Free Agency and the draft to boost the the front 4.
This will also be Coach Raheem Morris’ first full year as defensive coordinator, and the hope is that he can help this defense get to the next level.
