I don't understand. So you're saying now that you've got a worse offensive line and Turner is hot garbage, the falcons will be better?

No! Were better because our O-line is solid and were finally using all our weapons to the best of their abilities, like running screens and vertical routes with our playmakers(Julio, Roddy, HarryD, Quizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling) instead of just lining up and running up the gut with Turner for 2 yards. Another thing that will make us better is our defense, which is better than that conservative crap we had last year also.

The scheme may be better, but the players aren't... Didn't improve at all on that side of the ball... Tried, but Lofa didn't work out, and your 2nd year starting MLB has a glass chin...

The D is way better go watch the game for yourself, we finally have a pass rush, we finally could get off the field on 3rd down and our DBs are lights out. How many times do we have to say we dont even use a MLB because our base D is the nickel 4-2-5 with the 2LBs being OLBs?

No way, you can stay in the 4-2-5 all game... And one quarter of a preseason game doesn't mean anything... Against the Ravens O-Line at that, which lost their best lineman in Grubbs, who is now with us and looks to be just as good as Nicks *maybe better

He thinks one quarter of preseason does mean something. The Falcons also showed their hand in opening the playbook while most teams go vanilla their first couple of pre season games. They keep it up and they are going to give opposing teams a ton of tape before the season even starts.
