The fans have spoken."We’re days away from the draft Qadree Ollison Atlanta Falcons Jersey , and so it’s time to get your final thoughts on the team’s biggest needs. With our latest FanPulse poll, we did just that, and the results were pretty predictable, if in direct opposition to what many analysts have been writing. That’s a pretty resounding answer, and it’s still sort of shocking to see how large the disconnect between the team (which has talked a lot about tackles Youth Qadree Ollison Jersey , defensive tackles and cornerbacks), the media (which has pretty much zeroed in on those same three positions), and fans. Defensive end has been my primary area of concern for months, and almost half of our representative sample of Falcons fans feel the same way.Why? The Falcons have talent at defensive end, but Vic Beasley is coming off the worst year of his career and is a free agent in 2020. Adrian Clayborn and Steven Means are both here on one year deals. The only long-term starter is Takk McKinley Black Desmond Trufant Jersey , who has the talent to be a top-shelf player but hasn’t been on a consistent basis just yet. If the team doesn’t add talent via the draft in a quality class, they’re going to be forced to do so with their dollars and picks a year from now, and likely with a lot more urgency given the number of impending free agents, especially if Beasley and McKinley don’t take steps forward this year.In second place was tackle, which is impossible to argue against given that the Falcons plan to starter former swing tackle Ty Sambrailo at the moment Desmond Trufant Jersey 2019 , and that was followed by “Other” (DT is one likely answer), and then by cornerback. If corner winds up being the top pick, there are going to be a lot of angry fans. Where do you stand? The Falcons made some changes to their offensive coaching staff this offseason, but it shouldn’t take quarterback Matt Ryan long to get used to the new arrivals.Dirk Koetter was the team’s offensive coordinator from 2012-2014 and he’s back in the same job after being hired to replace Steve Sarkisian. The team also brought back Mike Mularkey, who was the offensive coordinator for Ryan’s first four seasons and will serve as the tight ends coach.Ryan said on 680 The Fan that it is “hard” to see Sarkisian leave the team Black Damontae Kazee Jersey , but that feeling is tempered by positive feelings about Koetter’s return to Atlanta.“I’m excited to work with Dirk Koetter again, it felt like my time spent with him early in my career was really productive,” Ryan said. “I’ve learned a lot since then, and I think we both can be better as we move forward. But, it’s one of the parts of the job that sucks Damontae Kazee Jersey 2019 , for sure. Letting people go and having new people come in and turnover, but it’s a part of this business and you have to deal with it.”Ryan doesn’t expect Koetter to overhaul the offense, but you don’t change coaches in order to keep things exactly as they were over the last two seasons. The Falcons want more from the unit and they hope that reaching into the past makes for a brighter future.
