Three times last season Atlanta suffered back-to-back losses as the team took a step back \u2013 especially on offense \u2013 from the 2008 11-5 playoff season.<\/p>\n<p>     The question now is \u2013 have the Falcons done enough to close the gap between themselves and the Saints in the South to once again be considered one of the top teams in the NFC? <\/p>\n<p>Well, they have basically done nothing, and yes that may be enough.  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>     Triggerman Matt Ryan was not quite the surprise he was as rookie, but his numbers were pretty much in the ballpark, and he just needs to cut down a bit on interceptions (14 last season, in 14 games) and stay healthy. Power running back Michael Turner has taken off some weight, and the receivers, led by Roddy White and tight end Tony Gonzalez, should move the chains. <\/p>\n<p>Scoring points shouldn\u2019t be much of a concern.<\/p>\n<p>      The real training camp repair work needs to be done in the secondary. Teams that rank 28th against the pass, as the Falcons did last season, simply do not make serious runs at the playoffs. Part of the problem is that the Falcon defensive line was rarely able to collapse the pocket, and the DBs were left on islands way too much. <\/p>\n<p>Still, the team\u2019s best pass-rusher, John Abraham, fell from 16 sacks the year before to 5 last season, and not much was done in the off-season to help him.<\/p>\n<p>      The secondary did get a boost when Atlanta picked up CB Dunta Robinson from the Texans, but coach Mike Smith has opened up the rest of the back line defense to training camp competition. The linebacking corps got a huge lift when the team used its first-round pick on Sean Weatherspoon, and with Curtis Lofton and Mike Peterson returning, that should be a strength.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE WAY IT LOOKS NOW<\/strong> \u2013 The Falcons were a mediocre (3-5) road team last season, and with 4 of the first 6 away from home this season, that has to turn around fast. Atlanta was also only .500 in the division last season. That also has to improve. <\/p>\n<p>There is some thought that New Orleans was a one-hit wonder last season, and if that\u2019s anywhere close to being true, the South will be wide open for the Falcons to make a run at the division.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Up: More Teams Coming Soon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ready to start\u00a0<a title=\"NFL Gambling Online\" href=\"\/blog\/category\/nfl\/\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Gambling Online<\/a> today?<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">NFL BETTING SEASON PROMO FROM BETUS: A 100% match play bonus for 1st Time players Up To $500.
