ATLANTA — Falcons owner Arthur Blank fully supports coach Mike Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff and believes they'll lead his team back to the playoffs in 2014. In his first public comments since Atlanta ended a 4-12 season, Blank said Monday that despite a major collapse in 2013, Smith and Dimitroff have earned the right to change the team's fortunes next season. "If I felt for any version of a New York minute that we didn't have the right leadership and ability to make that happen in 2014, we would make additional changes," Blank said.
