player. 44. The Atlanta Falcons are in the drivers seat for the NFC South division title right now. To me, the main reason why is because they protect quarterback Matt Ryan, better than the other teams. Head coach Dan Quinn, who was in Seattle for some of the “Beastmode” era, has another one now too. <p>Running back Devonta Freeman, with his No. 24 and all, looked like he had some “Beastmode” in him. He “Lynched” (pushed him to the turf) defensive back Sterling Moore on a 10-yard run Monday night. But the Falcons can’t stop anyone, especially not the pass because they can’t get afer the quarterback.</p> <p>They have a decent secondary with cornerback Desmond Truphant an safety Keanu Neal. They tried freak athlete Vic Beasley at LEO but he was too small so they moved him to outside linebacker. And right now Dwight Freeney, at 36 years of age, is the team’s edge rusher.</p> <p>So at No. 25 overall, the Falcons select Derek Barnett from Tennessee to assume the role. At 6’3″, 260 pounds Barnett has more lead in his behind than Beasley and the agility for occasional coverage. From there, the Falcons are on their way if they can stop the run.</p>. EDGE. Tennessee. Derek Barnett. 25
