A lineman Malliciah Goodman's falcon's Good - man

See long arm, firmly establish a defensive lineman Malliciah ancient DE man bang the gap will only make the Atlanta falcons coach covet.They see a player with great benefits, allows the defensive coordinator mike Nolan's player and his defense is even more peculiar. Goodman is in his second year, every day.

He is likely to be one of the players stand out when the Falcons for their first practice on the afternoon of Monday.  "Malliciah, I think, is going to be a guy that can play a number of our packages and play different roles," coach Mike Smith said. "I think that Malliciah will play in our base package, he'll have a certain role. In our big sub-package, he'll have another role. In our sub-package, he'll have another role. So I think those are good questions that we have to answer because he can line up in many different places. "I think as we go through the preseason, I think his strengths are going to become more defined. And we're going to be able to put him in those places where he's going to be able to play to his strengths." Speaking of strength, Goodman bulked up this offseason in preparation for being more physical up front. "I'm about 288, 290 right now," the 6-foot-4 Goodman said. "I was in the mid-270s last year. I've just been eating, working out, putting the right things in my body. I've been having a high intake of calories and protein. Just working hard. My max weight really improved. I feel a lot better in the trenches going against the guys." Goodman played in 14 games last season. He played just 29 percent of the defensive snaps. With the Falcons switching to a 3-4 base scheme and attempting to be multiple with their other looks, Goodman continues to try to find his comfort zone despite moving around a lot. New defensive line coach Bryan Cox has helped the adjustment. "I'm getting very comfortable playing inside with the 3-technique," Goodman said. "Last year, the national defense is a little different. Now I'm playing 3 and 4, 5 - playing technique.

I've been working on that with Cox. He has left me." I with three more comfortable, just because of repeated. Go back to look at the script and looked at Jonathan Babineaux and tyson Jackson, just learn them, and see how they are playing with blocks, they how to strike the guy. I just learn about leverage and the first step, to see what. You have to stop in defender and see you guys, don't be too eager to jump. Just be patient."
