Examining Atlanta Falcons Scheme & A.J. Terrell's Breakout Year: 2021 Cornerback Positional Review

Aaron reviews the Atlanta Falcons cornerbacks, looking at defensive coordinator Dean Pees' schematic tendencies and whether the team will prioritize upgrading the starting spot opposite A.J. Terrell.

First, he breaks down the team's tendency to utilize zone coverage in 2021 to contextualize Pees' late-season comments about wanting to improve the man coverage this offseason. Then, he looks deeper at A.J. Terrell's breakout 2021 campaign and whether or not we saw glimpses of this player at the end of 2020 and what Terrell needs to do in order to ascend to the next level as an elite corner. Then he breaks down the seasons of Fabian Moreau, Isaiah Oliver, and Kendall Sheffield to see if they will each return in 2022, before diving into the debuts of rookies Darren Hall and Avery Williams.

Finally, Aaron looks ahead to the offseason to discuss if the Falcons will use free agency or the draft to upgrade this position in the offseason.
