The Falcons safety duo today is a terrific one, assuming both players are healthy. Ricardo Allen brings a well-rounded, underrated game to the table, while Keanu Neal is the turnover machine and physical presence the secondary requires.
This isn’t the first time the Falcons had a duo we said similar things about over the last decade-plus, either. For a brief, shining moment from 2010-2012 or so, Thomas DeCoud and William Moore looked like those guys. The fanbase soured on DeCoud, who earned a reputation for not being physical enough and making too many mistakes, and Moore was eventually ruined by injuries.
