What a difference a focused offseason can make for the Atlanta Falcons, especially when it comes to the defensive line.

The Atlanta Falcons defensive line under Thomas Dimitroff has been atrocious and seemingly an area he has refused to truly address. Sure, they have had good pieces at times – John Abraham from 2006-2012 and Grady Jarrett 2015-current, but they have never had an elite group. Dimitroff was not even responsible for Abraham, he inherited him and then let him walk the year before he had 11.
