The Atlanta Falcons picked up a 14-point victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week One and are looking to build on that when they welcome in the Green Bay Packers. Andy and Randy take a look at a few areas they feel the team can improve on for their second home game of the season.
"You always have to work on something, there's no such thing as a perfect game. They have to work on their offensive rhythm, stay on the field more than three plays," says Randy McMichael. "It helps to be able to run on first down, it's predictable, but don't get too cute with it. Defensively, just keep working at that pass rush."
"At a certain point you have to win your one-on-ones," says Andy Bunker referring to problems along the offensive line. "Ridder hitting that long pass to Pitts in the 4th Quarter was a big play. Ridder trusts Pitts and that shows Arthur Smith's willingness to allow him to do that. Mariota couldn't hit it and they stopped calling them, it was a waste of a play-call, and Ridder proved he can do that."
The Falcons certainly didn't play their best game against the Panthers, but it was a divisional win and they will look to move to 2-0 against Jordan Love and the Packers on Sunday and all eyes will be looking at whether they can take a step forward from how they looked in Week 1.
