Thomas Dimitroff: Protecting MVP Matt Ryan in mind during free agency

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff stressed focusing on enhancing both the offensive and defensive lines as the team digs into free agency this week.

Dimitroff, appearing on the "Know Them From Adam" podcast with ESPN's Adam Schefter, was asked about his approach toward free agency.

"We need to continue to work on both sides of both fronts," Dimitroff said. "That's going to be really important for us to continue to build to put more pressure on (opposing) quarterbacks. We need to continue to make sure we're protecting Matt Ryan and continue to create the offensive line that's going to protect him and allow him to continue to be prolific as a quarterback and to have a prolific offense.
