In the week 4 loss to the Washington Football Team, the Falcons offense showed the flashes we have been looking for in Arthur Smith's new scheme. Those flashes weren't enough to overcome the makeshift secondary with the little to no pass rush from the defensive line as the Falcons fall short 30-34. 

As low as expectations were, the Falcons somehow figured out a way to go even lower. The new Atlanta Falcons regimen took a rough loss to the Eagles with a 32-6 blowout against the below average Philadelphia Eagles.  In this episode: Falcons vs. Eagles Recap Biggest takeaways The minimal good, the bad, the ugly

After a plethora of panic amongst the Falcons fanbase after our first preseason game, we take a look at the state of the offensive line from our starters to our reserves. We talk about talent on the offensive line vs cohesiveness of the offensive line and what is most important for success. We also have a portion where we dig into some of the listener questions we have received recently.  In this episode:  State of the offensive line Was Kyle Pitts the right pick at 4 overall?  Is the ILB group the best on the team?  And more questions Take a listen!

We break down some of the biggest takeaways from the Falcons first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans under the new regimen. In a sloppy meaningless game, there was a lot of ugly on the offensive side of the ball but the defense was a bright spot... something we aren't used to saying. We also discuss the top 4 players that undoubtedly climbed the depth chart with their performance Friday night. In this episode:  Dean Pees pass rush  Offensive line woes Players who climbed the depth chart

We take a look at how the new offensive system that Arthur Smith is implementing in Atlanta can make Matt Ryan get back to top-of-the-NFL QB play. With the first preseason game this Friday, we also analyze where we should pay close attention to from a positional battle standpoint.  

Every year Training Camp brings a ton of surprises and with a new regimen it is certainly amplified. From positional changes to high draft picks seemingly not working out like we thought, we discuss it all on this episode.  In this episode: Is Deion Jones going to be better at Weakside Linebacker? What is going on with Richie Grant? Is Kaleb McGary losing traction for the starting RT role?  How bad do we need Dante Fowler to get healthy?  Who are the top performers through Training Camp so far?    Listen and find out!

The Atlanta Falcons defense in 2020 was more than horrendous after leading the NFL in passing yards allowed. The new regimen needed to add some potential starting talent and rotational players to the group to create some competition. Did we do enough? Who will compete for the slot corner role?

We take a deeper dive into our Atlanta Falcon's Safety group that looks completely different from the 2020 group we watched come up short far too often. With Dean Pees scheme, it is extremely important that the Safeties have diverse skillsets. How well will these players compliment the system? 

The 2021 Training Camp starts today and we cover a group that has had some major turnover from the previous season. The Running Back room has a lot of different skillsets and they'll all be used in different ways in Arthur Smith's extremely successful and efficient offense. Does Coach Smith have the right pieces to work with? Will Mike Davis fit in well with the zone run scheme?

As Training Camp begins to get underway in a couple days, there's no question who our #1 and #2 receivers are. However, there is going to be serious competition looking for our secondary level receivers. Between the outgoing rookie, the new  speedster signee, and several guys that been on the roster, we've got a fun battle to watch. Who is going to emerge?

With the 2021 Training Camp getting underway this week, we take a look at one of the most intriguing groups on the team, the highly questionable defensive line. From the proven talent of Grady Jarrett to the untapped potential of Marlon Davidson, our new Defensive Coordinator has a lot of players to work with. We take a look at all of it.

There are always a ton of expectations going into any NFL Training Camp but for a first year Head Coach and General Manager, you want to kick things off the right way. This is their first true opportunity to set the tone for the new direction of the franchise. What are the top priorities and expectations going into training camp for a first year HC and GM? 

We breakdown just how talented Kyle Pitts truly is and how impactful his skillset will be for our Atlanta Falcons offense in 2021 and the many years to come after that. In a league where having a dynamic Tight End is becoming more and more vital, we may have the best prospect the NFL has ever seen. How truly great is Kyle Pitts? Where will we use him? Where should we his impact the most? 

We get into some Listener Questions and you're crazy if you think we're not celebrating the Atlanta Hawks advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. Who can step up at receiver? Record Prediction? How did I become a fan? And more...

The Julio Jones trade is finalized and we finally have the cap space to sign our 2021 Draft Class with about 7 or 8 million left over to target some free agents. There is some solid veteran players still out there and a few players with some untapped potential. Who should we go after?

We get into Arthur Smith's offensive scheme and why it was so successful for the Tennessee Titans. Can he replicate that offense here? Do we have the talent to execute his play-calling? Can we be successful without Julio Jones? 

All the headlines, rumors, and drama is over. Julio Jones is no longer an Atlanta Falcon and has been traded to the Tennessee Titans.  Was this a good trade? Who can make up for Julio? Now, what? 

After weeks of Terry Fontenot and Arthur Smith feeling the heat for discussing trades involving Julio, we find out Julio made the trade request from the get go. Does this raise the trade likeliness? Did Julio know he was on air? Were we disrespected by Julio?

We dive into Julio Jones trade talk. As die-hard Atlanta Falcons fans, it's hard to imagine that Julio could ever be seen in another NFL team's jersey, however, it may be a reality we have to face. Can we win games without Julio? Do we have to trade Julio? Is there another option?

We take a dive into Dean Pees 3-4 defensive scheme! The Atlanta Falcons haven't had a 3-4 based defense since 2003 so what changes should we expect? Will we see more production? Do we have the players to fit into the scheme? What personnel packages will we see?

The Atlanta Falcons 2021 Schedule is out! We knew who we were going to play but now we have a lay of the land. What will our record be? Can we make the playoffs? Did we get shafted by the international game? 

We finally get into the Day 3 picks of the Atlanta Falcons 2021 NFL Draft. Did we get any starters? Who will we see in rotation this season? Did we address the secondary needs? What kind of depth do we have at offensive line now?

WE ARE BACK! In the return of the podcast, we dive into day 1 & 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft. Did Terry Fontenot and Arthur Smith kick off their new leadership the right way? Should we have traded back?  Should we have taken a QB?
