Falcons Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

When training camp opened the Falcons wanted to improve on all levels of the defense.

The secondary was the main reason why the defense finished ranked 28th against the pass and underwent major renovations.

The return of Peria Jerry, the re-emergence of Trey Lewis and the drafting of Corey Peters has added more beef at the defensive tackle position. Defensive end Kroy Biermann appears to be on the verge of being a double-digit sack man. He's been a force in the preseason.

The team used the 19th pick in the first round of the draft to select linebacker Sean Weatherspoon.
