It’s hard not to like what the Atlanta Falcons were able to do this offseason. The pass rush still raises question marks and the new pieces need to hit the ground running, but all in all it was about as good as the Falcons could have hoped for.
Yet while the roster got better, the biggest concern is with depth.
Unlike in other sports, where championship-winning teams can sometimes go relatively injury-free throughout a season, in football they are a guarantee. By the time the Falcons sprint out of the tunnel to an electric Georgia Dome in Week 1, at least one member of the roster will likely be on injured reserve.
