Season Preview: Super Bowl aspirations will ultimately be decided by Steve Sarkisian’s progression

Dan Quinn has instilled several new beliefs during his time in Atlanta. To build off his “fast and physical” motto from 2015, he built a defense that personifies what was being regularly preached. In establishing a “brotherhood” during the 2016 season, the fiery head coach focused (and still focuses) on selecting high-character prospects ensures alongside GM Thomas Dimitroff that contract issues are promptly resolved. Although there weren’t any notable catchphrases from last season, Quinn’s influence became truly evident. The Falcons are one of the most efficient and well-organized teams in the league, and in recent years, one of the best.
