FLOWERY BRANCH —
By several measures the Falcons have improved on defense from last season, when they had probably the worst unit in the league.
First-year Coach Dan Quinn believes his defense can be better.
Quinn said the pass rush wasn’t effective during the Falcons’ 48-21 victory on Sunday against the Texans. The Redskins, their opponent this Sunday at the Georgia Dome, are among the best pass blocking teams in the league.
“That’s the biggest thing, how do we affect the QB,” Quinn said.
