The Falcons

-

4 TO WATCH LB Deion Jones At 6-1, 222 pounds, the rangy Jones is undersized and could be a soft spot for the Falcons, especially if the Patriots are set on running 250-pound back LeGarrette Blount. FB Patrick DiMarco DiMarco is an excellent lead blocker, but he also goes out on pass patterns. He’s a bit of a wild card, particular­ly when the Patriots are going with a lighter and quicker defense to combat the Falcons. TE Levine Toilolo The standout from Stanford is a huge target at 6-8, 265 pounds. Others will attract more attention, and that could open passing lanes for Toilolo. CB Brian Poole An undrafted rookie, Poole is a key component to the Falcons’ scheme as a slot corner, and they use him a lot to blitz. Probable starters in bold OFFENSIVE DEPTH CHART POS. NO.
