Y'all are taking a lot offense to me pointing out a flaw in this team



No, but it's the insinuation that this defense isn't progressing and hasn't improved, which it clearly has. Under Smith we were old and bad on defense. Right now we're young and bad but clearly showing improvement. If you can't watch the games and see how this defense has progressed in certain areas of the game, then you really can't be helped.

The Falcons' defense has surprised me. There's some good new talent growing better.

This defense is not elite but to those that say it hasn't improved is wrong.

LINK

The front 4: Babs is long in the tooth, needs an upgrade. Reed, Beasley, and Jarrett are solid.

Linebackers: Two rookies starting. Wheeler is solid depth but there are way better options for weakside especially considering playing alongside two rooks.

DBs: Trufant and Neal are studs. Two guys on the defense that will make impact plays. Alford is not a good 2nd corner. He should probably move to nickel or FS. Last and most definitely least Ricardo Allen fricking sucks.

For the year, they will improve but it's such a huge cap. They need several big upgrades for several positions.
