This is an important year for the Falcons. Nobody’s seat is particularly hot, but there’s a certain sense of urgency this season. And for what it’s worth, the Falcons, at least on paper, appeared poised for success.
Speaking of the composition of the roster, I learned a fun fact earlier this week: as of Saturday, the Falcons had the NFL’s fifth-oldest roster. For what it’s worth, this is right after the Falcons cut two kickers not named Matt Bryant and re-signed Matt Bryant. Bryant, an ageless wonder, doesn’t make the roster any younger.
