When Falcons safety Keanu Neal went down with a torn ACL during the season opener, the Falcons defense suffered a huge blow. Here are three moves the Falcons should consider to replace and improve Atlanta’s defense.
Sign Eric Reid
Losing to the Eagles was one thing. Losing your Pro Bowl strong safety and enforcer, for the entire season, is worse. There aren’t too many players, if any at all, that can replace Keanu Neal but there are at least 15 more games to be played. The Falcons have to adjust somehow. As much as Dan Quinn claims he wants to stay “in house” for Neal’s replacement, it would be absurd for him and the front office to not check the market and see what is available.
