— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) June 12, 2019After a disappointing season in 2018, the pressure is on both Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Dan Quinn.
Depth was a major concern, especially on the offensive line. Dimitroff spent two first round picks on a guard and a tackle and picked up two veteran offensive linemen in the offseason.
"If injuries happen and plague your season, I don't know how you could hold that against the general manager and head coach," Andy Bunker said.
Meanwhile, Coach Quinn fired all three coordinators after the 7-9 season and assumed the defensive coordinator duties for the upcoming season.
"In terms of the pressure between the two of them, I think the pressure is greater on Dan Quinn based on all of the decisions he made in the offseason," Andy continued.
"The defense has to be better. The defense has to be really good. And if it's not, that's where the pressure comes in."
