[241] Week 2 Atlanta Falcons preview: Coaching & scheme change, roster moves and game predictions

Buccaneers Observer

The Atlanta Falcons' coaching change took an unusual approach this year by keeping the existing roster largely in-tact. The consistency might help veteran Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees, who coached the Ravens' Super Bowl-winning team. However, the secondary had significant turnover with three of the four starters leaving.

On offense, the Falcons are missing a huge piece in Julio Jones, who was traded to the Tennessee Titans. TE Kyle Pitts was the team's first draft pick and could be a replacement for Jones. The team drafted an offensive lineman to serve as left guard, but the rookie had a rough first game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Buccaneers have this game without a doubt but the Falcons certainly have potential for growth over this season.

Is the NFL censoring graphic injuries from the game tape?
