How does the Falcons' defense look after five weeks?
Transcript
00:00stuff about this team that I didn't expect to be the case that has been um and then there's
00:05some stuff that I thought yeah that'd probably be what it's like but it may be more extreme than I
00:09thought it was I probably I mean not that we didn't have like respect for Jeff Ulbrich but
00:17like the job he's done after losing Walker and Pierce the the I know the run defense were coming
00:23off of a game that wasn't exactly great but the run defense um being able to transition with a
00:29couple of rookie linebackers in there the pressure the the idea to trade for Jervon Dexter and Mason
00:37Taylor like just things worked this offseason defensively um and it's not that that is a huge
00:46surprise but considering what you took off with the pass rush I I felt that would be problematic I
00:52don't think the pass rush is has been problematic um now maybe the sack numbers aren't pretty good
00:57yeah the sack numbers aren't necessarily where they were last year understandable but you certainly
01:02see the impact of pressure the ability to get pressure a well-timed blitz doesn't feel like
01:07you're always leaving the defense open on the backside um so I would say maybe the the defense
01:15a little bit if we're looking for some positives there
