Strong safety (3):

SS1: Ray Brown
SS2: William Moore
SS3: Keanu Neal

Free safety (2):

FS1: Scott Case
FS2: Tom Pridemore

The backend of the Atlanta Falcons all-time defense, as well as defensive tackle, are the weak links of the defense.

However, Scott Case was a great player who could do anything. He is the best safety to ever play for the Falcons. He was with the Falcons for ten years and then the Cowboys for one year and managed to haul in 30 interceptions.

Tom Pridemore is his backup and he was an eight-year starter for the team known as one of the scariest safeties in the league during his time.

At strong safety, the Falcons have Ray Brown who was another interception machine and had a ton of return yards on his picks. William Moore could be put in for when they need that hard hitter to scare receivers.

And speaking of scaring receivers, I elected to add Keanu Neal because Moore and he would split the opposition in half. It is also nice to have the ability to use him as an extra linebacker.

Must Read. Tommy Nobis is somehow still not in the Hall of Fame. light
