When Dan Quinn signed on as the Falcons’ head coach, he knew several key areas had to be addressed to get back on track. This list includes, and might be headlined by, the pass defense.
Last season, Atlanta finished at the bottom of the NFL in passing yards allowed, as injuries and a dearth of talent created issues at cornerback. But with a new playbook, better health and a promising rookie in tow, it’s reasonable to expect the CBs to take a big, collective stride forward in 2015.
“There’s a number of guys that we’re throwing in the mix there at corner, and we want to see — for the corners — who can play outside and inside,” Quinn said.
