There is no shortage of questions as the Falcons head into camp with hopes of dethroning the Super Bowl-champion Saints from their perch atop the NFC South.

Can Matt Ryan show marked improvement in camp and get over a sophomore jinx that saw his completion percentage and yards per pass go down and his interceptions go up? Can defensive lineman Peria Jerry and WR Harry Douglas rebound quickly from their season-robbing injuries? Can rookie OLB Sean Weatherspoon live up to the hype as a dominant third-down defender? If the answers are yes, the Falcons' immediate future could be bright.

I'll also be keeping an eye on CB Dunta Robinson. Will he shore up a leaky defense that finished 28th against the pass last season? It's also worth noting that the battle alongside Robinson is turning into quite the fight among Brian Williams, Brent Grimes, Chevis Jackson and Chris Owens. But the biggest question is whether the Falcons can stay healthy. Just about every team says that, but injuries really robbed them of a chance at the playoffs last season.
