They also note Raheem Morris stating that the kicking competition/workouts will continue all week before a decision is going to be made for Sunday against the Vikings. They then discuss why they are in agreement that while it is good the Falcons were in the top five of pressure rating in Week 1, they must be able to convert that into more than one sack.

Carl and Mike come back with more Falcons talk and react to Drake London being in practice on Wednesday which they agree was good to hear and see, however whether or not London will be able to take contact will still need to be known.

They then share thoughts on comments by Zac Robinson as he explained why the Falcons rely on the pistol formation to keep offense balanced.
