The Atlanta Falcons could be in for a new look on defense under head coach Raheem Morris. However, host Aaron Freeman explains why that is unlikely to extend to the team's linebacker corps. He breaks down why Kaden Elliss, despite being a perfect fit in former defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen's scheme, should have a similar role under Morris and Nielsen's replacement in Jimmy Lake. He looks at Morris' usage of simulated pressures with Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones.
Later, he breaks down why Nate Landman despite positive play in 2023 is likely relegated to being a backup moving forward. He discusses why the Falcons' defensive ceiling is higher if Troy Andersen can take over and become a reliable every-down player. Finally, he looks towards the offseason to discuss if the Falcons are going to be targeting depth in the draft or looking to upgrade their starting spot in free agency.
