Analysis: The Falcons are a good team that lacked on the defensive side last year. The offense could score with Matt Ryan at the helm. He wasn’t as great as his rookie year, but he will keep getting better. Michael Jenkins and Roddy White are still providing good targets for Ryan and Michael Turner, after a disappointing season, looks to rebound with another power performance this year. He said he let his weight slip, but now he is back in shape and under 250. Johnson and Hawley will add depth to a hurting offensive line. Peters will help the defensive line with John Abraham and Jonathan Babineaux. The linebacker position needed the help, and Weatherspoon is looking to help out. Robinson is a good addition to help the attack coming from the Saints. He will be an instant starter. The team needed some help on defensive and I think they found them. They will have the Saints to compete with still, but a similar season to last year is what I expect.

2010 Season Predictions: 9-7, Third in NFC South
