Falcons missing Gonzalez creates a scoring vacuum.

Great job creating the impression of a chance of a close game lol.

Never under estimate Julio Jones or Roddy White.

Get ready Cook will shift defenses and Jimmy will draw more than his share of coverage not only man on man but ocer the top. what does that leave Drew with? his favorite safety blanket.

COLSTON RETURNS TO FORM AND MIGHT HAVE THE BEST SEASON OF HIS LIFE.

The Saints' scoring attack will be extremely difficult to stop this season. Not only was Cooks added, but Marques Colston is finally healthy. Colston thrived down the stretch last year, so he should be able to pick up where he left off. The Falcons, who lost Sean Weatherspoon for the year, were ranked 32nd last year against the pass in terms of defensive YPA. In other words, good luck.

I hope they use Cooks A LOT. I want to see this kid cut and leave the defenders grasping at air.

Gonzales' absence is going to amp up Smith's ulcer big time.

Read this earlier:

Soliai started 15 games last season and registered 34 tackles and one sack. More importantly, according to Pro Football Focus Soliai scored a plus-11.1 overall rating with a plus-7.9 score at stopping the run.

With Soliai in the middle of a 3-4 hybrid scheme for the Falcons, he’ll be able to swallow up blockers, draw double-teams and control both A-gaps, allowing other Falcon front-seven defenders to focus on getting after the opposing quarterback. Getting more pressure is a big reason why some team switch to a 3-4.

Soliai can line up in the middle, sandwiched between Babineaux at defensive end position and opposite Osi Umenyiora, when Atlanta goes to a 3-4 look. When the Falcons play 4-3, the trio of Soliai, Babineaux and Peters can rotate, or Babineaux can stay at end.

Soliai gives the Falcons a lot of versatility in their hybrid looks. That versatility has been absent since Nolan’s arrival. And even though he’s 30 years old, Soliai still can be a stopgap 0-technique tackle in a hybrid 3-4 alignment, at least until the Falcons draft the players needed to complete the switch to 3-4.
