Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons face a formidable Pittsburgh Steelers defensive front in Week 1. Host Aaron Freeman explains why future Hall of Famer T.J. Watt won't be their biggest challenge Week 1. Instead, he discusses how Watt's presence will create one-on-one situations for their other pass rushers to take advantage of. He breaks down why Cameron Heyward, Alex Highsmith, and especially Keeanu Benton are the matchups to be concerned with going up against Matthew Bergeron, Jake Matthews, and Drew Dalman, respectively. 

Later, Aaron discusses another intriguing matchup between Falcons wide receiver Drake London and Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. He explains that Porter fared well against Puka Nacua in last year's Steelers win over the Los Angeles Rams, and how that might preview things to come between Porter and London. Finally, he breaks down how Kyle Pitts' status as a "unicorn" can present unique challenges to the Steelers defense at linebacker, safety, and nickel cornerback.

The Atlanta Falcons can boost their season significantly if Bijan Robinson has a breakout year. Host Aaron Freeman explains why the running game will be important to the team's 2024 success. He breaks down Robinson's ceiling and potential to put up Todd Gurley-like production in this offense and how that will matter early in the year as the passing game works through its issues. Later, he discusses the false narrative surrounding Robinson's usage last year and why narratives can be misleading. Then, he discusses some of the changes that Zac Robinson's scheme will have to the running game and whether it'll lead to greater success in 2024. #atlantafalcons

The Week 1 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers will create incredible storylines for both teams. Host Aaron Freeman and Jarvis Davis (‪@LockedOnATL‬) discuss some of them. The "revenge" aspect between current Falcons head coach Raheem Morris and former Falcons head coach Arthur Smith, who is now the Steelers offensive coordinator, is one of the biggest narratives entering Week 1. You also have connections between Morris and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and the different approaches each team took this offseason to addressing their quarterback position. A win for either team will make the choice of spending on Kirk Cousins versus saving on Russell Wilson and Justin Fields look better. They also discuss whether or not Week 1's result will define the rest of the 2024 season. 

Later, they discuss the trade of Taylor Heinicke to the Los Angeles Chargers and whether the team was right to not cut him in March. Finally, they discuss the addition of linebacker Monty Rice to the practice squad and which player should fill the Heinicke void as the last spot on the 53-man roster. #atlantafalcons

The Atlanta Falcons shouldn't be scared of Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback Russell Wilson, who has just been named their starter for Week 1. Host Aaron Freeman explains why it impacts the Falcons' decision at linebacker. He explains why Nate Landman should get the start over Troy Andersen as the linebacker to line up next to Kaden Elliss in Week 1. He breaks down why Wilson beating out Fields puts less of a premium on an athletic linebacker like Andersen. 

Later, he discusses the differences between the Falcons' new offensive coordinator, Zac Robinson, and the Steeler's offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, who called plays for the Falcons as their former head coach. He stacks both play-callers in tiers and explains why Robinson should be considered a tier above Smith. 

Finally, he discusses the Falcons' 14 additions to their practice squad and how they will fill the remain three spots.

Welcome to the Atlanta Football Party, your ultimate destination for the best Atlanta Falcons football talk. This episode dives into the latest roster moves and preseason insights. Hosted by Tenitra Batiste, alongside Jarvis Davis, Aaron Freeman, and Tori McElhaney, the discussion kicks off with the Falcons' recent roster cuts ahead of the 53-man deadline, including the release of 13 players. The hosts debate whether any of these cuts were surprising and delve into the changing dynamics of preseason evaluations. Jarvis shares his thoughts on how the Falcons' approach to preseason has evolved, emphasizing the importance of joint practices over traditional games.

Tori and Aaron weigh in on the ease of predicting this year's 53-man roster compared to previous years, highlighting the stability brought by key acquisitions and draft picks. The conversation shifts to the impact of veteran players like Matthew Judon and Justin Simmons, who are expected to elevate the team's performance.

The episode also touches on the Falcons' power rankings, with the team landing at 19th according to ESPN. The hosts discuss whether this ranking is fair, considering the team's offseason moves and the potential of their new roster. Aaron, the self-proclaimed "humble hater," believes the ranking is justified, while Tenitra and Jarvis express cautious optimism.

In a lighter segment, the hosts joke about Kirk Cousins' sideline antics during the preseason and his role as a stabilizing force for the team. They also discuss the importance of having a veteran quarterback who can challenge and elevate the younger players, drawing comparisons to past Falcons teams.

The episode wraps up with a look ahead to the regular season, including key matchups and players to watch. The hosts are particularly excited about the potential of Kyle Pitts and Drake London, who are expected to benefit significantly from Kirk Cousins' leadership and experience.

The Atlanta Falcons made their initial 13 cuts with no surprises. Host Aaron Freeman breaks them down and what they mean for the next round of cuts ahead of Tuesday's deadline. He discusses if John Paddock's release means Taylor Heinicke is safely on the roster. 

Later, he discusses if Heinicke could be shopped via trade to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a player like linebacker Ernest Jones or wide receiver Tutu Atwell. He discusses the viability of both trades, and whether the team would acquire Jones given what they have already at linebacker with Kaden Elliss, Nate Landman, Troy Andersen, and J.D. Bertrand. Then, he looks at some pass rushers and pass-catchers that the Falcons could potentially scoop up as other NFL teams make their final roster cuts.
