Falcons' next move before Week 8 clash with Dolphins couldn't be more apparent

After Divine Deablo went down in the Atlanta Falcons' Week 7 loss to the 49ers, it made an ugly night even worse. The Dirty Birds' most important defender suffered a forearm fracture and will be sidelined for the next few weeks—and it's putting the pressure on defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.

The NFL's No. 2 ranked pass defense just lost arguably their most irreplaceable player, and starting JD Bertand in his place won't cut it. This could lead to Terry Fontenot monitoring the trade market before the deadline in hopes of finding someone to play the same role Deablo does for Ulbrich's unit.
