Atlanta Falcons: The Defense Still Not Getting to the Quarterback

Related Topics: Atlanta Falcons, Quarterback

The Atlanta Falcons were defeated Thursday night in a preseason game against the Miami Dolphins 17-6. The offense couldn’t get much of anything going despite the defense kept them close. While the lack of offense is concerning, what was even more concerning f was the lack of pressure that the defense had in the game.

Last season the Falcons’ pass rushers often failed and put too much pressure on a young secondary. This offseason, the Falcons stressed the importance of getting to the quarterback and fixing the lack of ability to pressure the quarterback.

While it is true that the score and outcome of preseason games are meaningless, the individual results are not.
