NFL Preview: Atlanta Falcons





Offense:

They have Matt Ryan, they have Roddy White, they have Michael Turner, they have Tony Gonzalez and now on top of it, they added the best wide receiver in the draft in Julio Jones. People in the ATL will forget about the other great Jones athletes that have been in Atlanta (in Chipper and Andruw) and will only remember 1 after the year is done and that is Julio. He will make Matt Ryan a top echelon quareterback in the league and will make Roddy White and the whole offense run like a well oiled machine. Top 5 offense in the league.



Defense:

The Falcons defense was built on generating turnovers, finishing 7th in the league in turnovers. However, their pass rush was basically John Abraham and no one else. The Falcons were 22nd in the league in sacks. They brought in DE Ray Edwards from Minnesota, Edwards is a hell of an addition and can cause havoc, the passed 2 years he averaged around 8.5 sacks. Besides Edwards, the Falcons made sure to re-sign their own guys on their defense, keeping together most of the unit that had a decent season last year.



Overall:

2 things I love in life are Julio Jones and Boobs, so based on that the Falcons will finish 12-4.
