All the headlines surrounding the Falcons involved an offense filled with dynamic talent and high-profile names. Whether it was a productive game or a second-half implosion, everything felt centered on their performance every week. That left the defense an afterthought in many game breakdowns. No matter how inept the pass rush was or how many uncontested completions the opposing quarterback had, the offense would be the primary topic of most conversations.
That won’t be the case this offseason. Besides Drew Dalman’s free agency status, there aren’t major questions about the offensive personnel. It’s the total opposite defensively, where upgrades are needed on all three levels.
