3 Atlanta Falcons players that must improve in week five
By Nick Halden
The Atlanta Falcons have no shortage of things to improve on in week five coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the Washington Football Team. Atlanta’s biggest issue has been coaching issues the playcalling and time management have been painful to watch.
Defensively you can pick the team apart as well with the secondary and pass rush competing in ineptitude.
This team is more talented than the level they are performing at. It is a team with veterans that should be carrying them and helping them compete not struggling alongside the Falcons’ inexperienced players.
Outside of Cordarrelle Patterson, the entire roster has struggled early on
Even Matt Ryan struggled against the Tampa Bay Bucs before roaring back with a clutch performance against the Giants and leading an impressive offensive attack against Washington. Ryan has struggled this season but week four was the fault of his supporting cast.
The only blame you could argue Ryan deserves is not fighting the late playcalling and allowing Mike Davis to decide this game. Ryan is your best player and should be who is deciding this game, not a running back who couldn’t average two yards a carry.
Outside of Davis, there are players who are obviously struggling and must improve when Atlanta takes on the Jets.
