The Falcons averaged 35.5 points per game last year, and it'd be pretty tough to top that, but they do have both of their QBs, Brandon Mims and Joshua Shaw, back, not to mention leading rusher, RB Marquell Jefferson. LBs Tony Castillo and Walter Woods, as well as DE Anthony Crane return as defensive leaders. Coach Jeff Williams believes his team can be as good as last year, which was pretty darn good.
