When the Falcons announced they were moving Raheem Morris back to the defensive side of the ball to work specifically with the defensive backs, it seemed like a sort of last ditch fix for an ailing secondary. Now that we’ve seen one game with that move, we’re left to wonder why it didn’t happen much, much sooner.
You can only take away so much from a single win, but when that win is against the Saints, and the Saints manage exactly zero offensive touchdowns, it takes on outsized importance. The reality is that the secondary simply did look better, and if they were helped by an Alvin Kamara slip here and a boneheaded Saints penalty there, they still put their most impressive effort of the year on the field.
