Outlook: The Falcons have eleven starters returning, including standout players at key skill positions. Geoffrey Myles returns at QB after a big year rushing and scoring. Top RB Christian Stringfellow is also capable running the ball after a solid 2007. The defense has key players, but it must add depth with newcomers. Work in the trenches is going to need a standout player or two to emerge. Improving on a 4-6 mark from last year is certainly possible.
