The Atlanta Falcons first-team defense posted another first-quarter shutout in a preseason game Friday, this time blanking the New York Jets through their first five possessions.

The Falcons through the first quarters of two preseason games have outscored their opponents 31-0, a margin that included a 17-0 lead last week against the Tennessee Titans.

For a unit that ranked last in the NFL in yards allowed in 2014, the fast start under new coach Dan Quinn should be encouraging for any Falcons fan, even if against two of the weaker offenses in the league.

For fans of the New Orleans Saints, who play in the NFC South with the Falcons, should the Falcons' start be cause for concern?

The Jet and Titian offenses? drink that kool aid baby.

Bigger concern is the points they put up on offense.

Grain of salt.

I agree with Hagan, I'd be more worried about their offense than their defense.

We outscored Tom Brady 21-0 in the first half

That is impressive, especially to say 4 of our starters in the secondary did not play.

Oops, sorry to bring it up. I know that one stung and most of us old timer Saints fans know exactly how it feels.
