To say the Falcons need help pressuring the QB is a gross understatement.
They ranked 29th in the NFL in sacks in 2019, and they haven’t had a consistent edge rusher since the great John Abraham. The Falcons acknowledged their lack of a consistent rush by acquiring Dante Fowler on a big, multi-year deal, hoping he can become a top-flight quarterback chaser where others have failed.
Fowler had his most productive year last year with the Rams. The big question is if he’s finally solidified himself as a top EDGE rusher that brings in double digits sacks consistently, or if last season was an outlier.
