Falcons first-rounder Takk McKinley should factor in more vs. Packers

Takk McKinley had a quiet debut, but expect to see the Atlanta Falcons' first-round draft pick much more in Sunday night's matchup with Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay.

McKinley played just 14 snaps in the Falcons' 23-17 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 1. Much of it had to do with the Falcons playing their big base package for most of the game, gearing up to stop the run. But with Rodgers being such a passing threat -- he attempted 83 passes in two games against the Falcons last season, completing 55 for 533 yards and seven touchdowns with one interception -- coach Dan Quinn's defense is sure to play plenty of nickel.
