There’s been recent talk comparing the 2022 Atlanta Falcons to the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals, and Jon Chuckery shares why that is off the mark. Good Morning Football’s Peter Schrager likened the Falcons impressive 2-2 start to the Bengals before making their Super Bowl run a year ago. But Jon breaks down the key difference between the teams, starting with the quarterback position.

This week marks the Falcons welcoming back cornerback Isaiah Oliver into the fold, as he practices after spending four weeks on injured reserve. Jon breaks down how and why the Falcons have been very calculated with their usage of the short-term I.R. and how their handling of Oliver differs from other injured players like Deion Jones, Marlon Davidson, and Jalen Mayfield.

Finally, the writers recently voted on who the Atlanta Braves’ most valuable player was this past season as the team heads back to the postseason. Jon breaks down why sensational rookie outfielder Michael Harris II would have earned his MVP vote, breaking down his clutch performances and his chances to win both a Gold Glove and Rookie of the Year honors.

As the #Braves get set to watch the Wild Card round, it is readily apparent who they should want to face in the NLDS. The numbers show that despite the fact that the Cardinals had the better regular season record, they are a much easier matchup than the Phillies and all the numbers show that. Next, Aaron Freeman of Locked on Falcons joins me to discuss the Falcons newly found running game and how this matchup with the Bucs this Sunday could prove to be tricky. Plus, AJ Terrell and Grady Jarrett are both elevating their play and why is frustrating watching Marcus Mariota. Finally, all will be right with the Georgia Bulldogs when they face Auburn on Saturday.
