Falcons release official depth chart vs. Titans, game is Friday

“D-Lo was awesome in the game,” Falcons coach Raheem Morris said. “We played him as an inside linebacker, I believe, in the first half the game. Then, in the second half the game, when we pulled some of those guys … we were able to put D-Lo out there at the outside (linebacker) position.”

Malone is one of the Falcons’ top special teams players and they want him to be able to provide depth at inside and outside linebacker.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich wanted Malone to learn how to play inside linebacker.

“I wanted to instill in these guys (that) we’re going to master something,” Ulbrich said. “For DeAngelo Malone, he’s been a guy that’s been used as an edge rusher, as an internal blitzer, as an off-the-ball stack linebacker. When you’re asked to do a lot of those things, it’s really hard to master something. So I made a concerted effort this offseason to say, ‘You’re going to become a stacked linebacker first.’ ”

Malone is listed as the third inside linebacker behind Divine Deablo and Caleb Johnson.
