Two games into the preseason and it’s clear the Atlanta Falcons are improved. Just how much depends on how you look at the two contests.
Reasons to be Excited:
* We have a pass rush
Concerns over Vic Beasley’s size were put to rest against the Jets when he pretty much did whatever he wanted against a top 10 left tackle in D’Brickashaw Ferguson. The Adairsville product showed off his patented spin move and gave offensive coordinators something to look at with a nice bull rush.
Likewise, signee Adrian Claiborne, if he stays healthy, will make sure teams can’t double-team Beasley. Add rejuvenated vets Tyson Jackson, Jonathan Babineaux and Paul Soliai and second-year tackle Ra’Shede Hageman and there’s a very nice rotation of impact linemen who can get in the backfield.
