The Atlanta Falcons open the season on Sunday at home against the New Orleans Saints, and on defense there are quite a few new faces on the two-deep, and one of the focus of adding free agents and in the draft was to get bigger and stronger.
Atlanta Falcons Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees joined John and Hugh on Thursday and discussed what sort of next step he'd like to see his defense take this season.
"I'm hoping for a much more physical team than we've been," says Pees. "I felt like a year ago we kinda did the things we needed to do, coming downhill, hitting guys, playing physical, that kind of a defense, I'm hoping that everyone sees that we're different."
