This is a good time of year to take stock. We’re more than a month away from the beginning of training camp, and then many things will happen in the course of about a month, from a slew of practices to preseason games to roster cutdowns. Right now, with only a handful of OTAs left for the Falcons until a long stretch of calm and quiet, it’s an excellent time to see where this team is at and whether our expectations to this point have been fair.
Any review and reflection should include the division. As I wrote back in January, the division looks drastically different in 2021, with the Buccaneers bearing the closest resemblance to the team they were in 2020 after essentially reloading for another title run.
