re: Falcons fans discuss how confident they feel about their defense week 1.

I'm basing this off of the fact that I have seen no real upgrade in the Falcon defense in the offseason

Soliai roughed us up last year, though I question the health of our interior OL at the time (plus I think Lelito or Goodwin will be better than DLP, who really fell off whenever Evans/Grubbs were hurting). Their rookie CBs were really impressive given their lack of experience, and they should be even better.

But yeah, in week 1, I see a game that the Falcons will be in early in the 4th, when the Saints force a turnover/punt and our offense puts the game out of reach. They don't have the line talent on either side to handle us and Gonzo is a huge loss. Plus their safeties are terrible.
