The Atlanta Falcons gave Jonathan Massaqoi 43 snaps last week on defense. That is a 19% increase, which resulted in Kroy Biermann getting his snaps reduced by more than 10%.
This team needs a pass rusher, and to be honest this kid is the best they have right now. Massaquoi has recorded 2.0 sacks thus far, and he is slowly starting to take that starting spot from Biermann.
Listen, with Desmond Trufant, Robert Alford, and Kemal Ishmael this secondary is at least average. The thing that is killing the stats is the pass rush, which is where number 94 comes in. Get to Flacco and put him on his butt Massaqoui!
