Falcons owner Arthur Blank concerned about 1-3 start
ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank expressed disappointed with the team's 1-3 start despite the rash of injuries that have obviously impacted the lineup, particularly on defense.
"Well, I am concerned about a 1-3 start," Blank told ESPN Tuesday. "I don't know anyone who would say that's where we had planned on being or that's where we had hoped to be, but we are 1-3."
The Falcons lost Pro Bowl strong safety Keanu Neal to a season-ending torn ACL and lost Pro Bowl middle linebacker Deion Jones until at least Week 11 following foot surgery. Then the team saw starting free safety and defensive leader Ricardo Allen go down with a season-ending Achilles' tear.
