The NFL Combine is upon us, and Tuesday marked the traditional pre-Combine press conference for the Atlanta Falcons. Both general manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith spoke for several minutes, taking questions from the media in attendance. The conference was also live-streamed on the Falcons’ YouTube account, and you can watch it in its entirety here.
There weren’t any massive revelations about the team’s draft or free agency strategy, but there were certainly some tidbits worth discussing. Read on for observations from myself and fellow Falcoholic contributor Aaron Freeman.
Fontenot wants to have his cake and eat it too, indicating a balance between building for the future and trying to win now.
