Both offensive and defensive players for the Atlanta Falcons have verbalized how excited they are about the teams’ Jeff Ulbrich led defense for a multitude of reasons. Atlanta’s second year defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro joined The Morning Shift earlier, and explained why he’s specifically excited and prefers to play in an Ulbrich style of defense.
“I definitely prefer this a little more just because you know you could use your athleticism, you don’t have to think as much, you just get up field, and you play your box as they come.” Orhorhoro said
Many NFL players, offensive and defensive, have said that they’re playing their best when they don't have to think, can play fast, and just let their instincts take over, and it seems like Jeff Ulbrich’s defense is allowing guys to do just that which is important especially for guys like Brandon Dorlus and Ruke who are coming into just their second year in the NFL, but are expected to be impactful players on a Falcons’ defense that is expected to be much improved this season.
