There are no more important members to the Falcons defense right now than Vic Beasley and Takkarist McKinley.
After all, the young pass rushers are the anchor to making this entire unit click. Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford can get guys in coverage, Deion Jones and De’Vondre Campbell can man the middle of the field and Grady Jarrett can lead the push inside.
But if the Falcons aren’t getting consistent pressure on the quarterback from the edge, this defense won’t reach its full potential and will be easier to score on than any of us are comfortable with.
