Well, here we are.
The excitement has been slowly building throughout a seemingly endless offseason, but the Atlanta Falcons will take the field for a meaningful game this weekend.
When Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot first arrived, it was clear that they’d likely not be able to make a substantial investment in a roster overhaul until Year 3 due to the Falcons’ poor cap health at the time. Defensively, we saw as close to an overhaul as you’ll get in a single offseason over these past several months. Offensively, the overhaul has been a bit more meticulous and metered out, but this is a new Falcons team in nearly every way.
