2023 falcons defense:

#6 in passing yards allowed
(Jags #25)

After the Jags Defense allowed multiple back up QBs to throw all over them at will last year, this was the change being sought after. 

The Jags Linebackers and Defensive Backs reportedly freelancing outside of assignments also implies a lack of trust in the scheme they are running. That had to change. 

Neilsen will conceivably have more talent to work with in Jax than he did in ATL.
We'll see what he can accomplish. 
He also is bringing in a very impressive staff in terms of experience coaching secondary players in very good defenses. 

I like these coaching moves.
