Walter Thurmond, however, thinks the group is up for the challenge, its first challenge of the year.
“I think that’s the number one concern for any defensive group in the league though is not to give up those X-plays,” Thurmond said. “That just shows that the offense is getting quick turnaround, changing the field and putting themselves in position to score.
“It is going to be a good test because this is one of the best tandems in the league with Julio and Roddy White and Matt Ryan’s throwing the ball to them. It’s going to be a great test for us to see where our cover ability is and make a name for the secondary.
