At this point, the Falcons are who they are, and they show no signs of changing. Their offense has picked up speed in recent weeks but the defense remains a kind of lethal trouble spot they can’t seem to fix. As Dan Quinn promised it would be, changes to playing time this week were subtle to the point of hardly being noticeable, with the exception of Kendall Sheffield taking on a huge role with Desmond Trufant out.
Let’s talk snap counts.
Offense
Injury continues to be the story of the guard position on this roster. This time it was both Jamon Brown (who missed only six snaps) and James Carpenter (who missed 19) who were dealing with ailments, forcing Wes Schweitzer into the game for a combined 25 snaps at both positions.
