The Atlanta Falcons have fielded many talented teams in their four-decade history but have only reached the Super Bowl once. Calling the past few years of the Atlanta Falcons turbulent would be a great understatement. But, over their history, the Atlanta Falcons have suffered adversity and bounced back time after time. A new coaching staff and a group of new players are ready to make Hotlanta forget all about Michael Vick, Bobby Petrino, and last season’s 4-12 showing.
Rookie QB Matt Ryan will take over the role as the face of the Atlanta Falcons and has the pure talent and football smarts to do so. In addition to young wide outs Michael Jenkins and Roddy White, veteran WR Joe Horn will contribute greatly to Matt Ryan’s development. Free agent RB Michael “The Burner” Turner is a versatile weapon. Pass rushing DE John Abraham leads the quick defensive line, with OLB Keith Brooking spearheading the Falcons defense. Veteran S Lawyer Milloy is the mentor for a young and incredibly fast secondary.
New head coach Mike Smith has been one of the best defensive minds in football and has the tough task of winning the NFC South ahead. The division boasts young and rising teams, including the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. The current NFC South champs are the defensive-minded Tampa Bay Buccaneers and always give the Falcons a challenge. The Atlanta Falcons non-division schedule is a tough one, with teams like the San Diego Chargers and the Green Bay Packers standing in the way.
