Roundtable: Falcons vs. Titans Preview

Andrew Hirsh (AtlantaFalcons.com Reporter): I’m looking forward to seeing how cohesive the team is during its first preseason game. The emphasis throughout camp has been on fundamentals. Errors have been tolerated so long as mechanics, technique and playbook comprehension improve gradually. And they have. But, if this progression doesn’t translate to the Georgia Dome turf, there’ll be valid reasons for concern. How will the offensive line perform in the outside zone-blocking scheme? Can the defense fly around and boast its natural talent without second-guessing? Will the rookies look like they belong? It’s early in the year, and learning a new system takes plenty of time, but it’s still important to play smart, organized football at this juncture.
