With Raheem Morris taking over as head coach for the 2017 campaign, the Falcons are hopeful that he can infuse new energy into the locker room. The new addition was covered by Will McFadden and former Atlanta player Ovie Mughelli in the most recent Bleav in Falcons podcast episode..

“These days, everybody tries to follow in Dan Campbell’s footsteps. It is effective to have someone who can connect with the players and motivate them, as Detroit has demonstrated. They are talented, yes, but he has utilized them to the fullest. Raheem’s work with the Los Angeles Rams shows how much these guys have progressed since he joined the squad. The sportsmen love him. The belief that Raheem should have been the head coach is universally accepted.

Morris has some head coaching experience and is considered one of the best defensive coordinators in the league. With so many renowned coaches available this offseason, Morris is not a particularly noteworthy addition, but he will undoubtedly be well-liked in the locker room. Atlanta has a number of promising young players who are still developing.
