Whether than translates into more wins is still a big question mark. “It’s just being comfortable, but I’m progressing every day”.

Enter Quinn, who had been in charge of the league’s most fearsome defense in Seattle.
The Falcons have 2014 first-rounder Jake Matthews slated to start at left tackle. Throughout quarterback Matt Ryan’s career, he’s dealt with an unbelievable amount of pressure from opposing defenders.
Beyond that, all sorts of troubling issues.
At least the Falcons have geography working in their favor. He was a member of the Falcons 53-man active roster last season, but did not see any game action. Alas, they were blown out at home by the Carolina Panthers and finished 6-10.
Wide receiver Roddy White believes that Coleman can help the offense get back on track in 2015. A new outside zone blocking scheme has been implemented, although the Falcons are still trying to find the right chemistry along the offensive line. As soon as Levitre gets up to speed, he could be playing a major role.
The Falcons hope that Coleman can add that sort of pop to their revamped rushing attack after the team moved way from Steven Jackson, Jacquizz Rodgers and Antone Smith.
“It’s been real tough”, said Coleman, who suffered a hamstring injury August 5.
