    GUT CHECK: How Atlanta Falcons OVERCOME Losses of Coaches Jerry Gray & Mike Rutenberg on Defense

    As key defensive minds in Jerry Gray and Mike Rutenberg depart the Atlanta Falcons for new roles, can Jeff Ulbrich and the coaching staff keep the defense elite? The Falcons face a big challenge replacing Gray’s decades of NFL experience and Rutenberg’s pivotal role in elevating Atlanta’s pass defense in 2025, all while aiming to maintain the defensive continuity that sparked optimism last season.  Host Aaron Freeman breaks down the significance of these coaching exits, what it means for the Falcons’ “brain trust,” and how the team addresses the NFL’s minority head coaching pipeline issues with the hiring of Jordan Reid as assistant quarterbacks coach. The conversation spotlights relevant trends around opportunities for Black coaches in quarterback and tight end roles, the path to coordinator roles, and whether the Falcons are part of the solution to reshaping NFL hiring practices. Will Atlanta’s changes help build a more sustainable and diverse leadership pipeline?  #atlantafalcons #nfl #kevinstefanski #jeffulbrich #jerrygray #mikerutenberg #brianflores #rooneyrule  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOFalcons?sid=YouTube Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFL Become a Locked On Falcons Insider for in-depth analysis every day! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonfalcons Join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/lockedonfalcons Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    FRANCHISE TAG: Why Tagging Kyle Pitts Is SAFE But WRONG Choice For Atlanta Falcons' Future

    Atlanta Falcons weigh a franchise tag for tight endKyle Pitts, risking cap space and long-term roster balance. Could a tag-and-trade be the smarter play as the team evaluates its future around stars Bijan Robinson and Drake London? Host Aaron Freeman dissects the tough decision facing Atlanta: keep Pitts at a projected $16.3 million tag, extend his contract, or maximize value through a trade or compensatory pick.  The episode spotlights how Pitts’ fit in a Kevin Stefanski-led offense is complicated by overlapping roles with London and Robinson, raising questions about offensive identity. Salary cap implications, historical impact of similar roster moves, and the challenges of maximizing both player talent and team flexibility are thoroughly explored.  #atlantafalcons #nfl #kylepitts #franchisetag #nfltraderumors #drakelondon #bijanrobinson #kevinstefanski  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOFalcons?sid=YouTube Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFL Become a Locked On Falcons Insider for in-depth analysis every day! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonfalcons Join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/lockedonfalcons Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    FALCONS SQUAD SHOW: Tommy Rees is here to HELP Michael Penix Jr. have SUCCESS

    Atlanta Falcons coordinators face mounting pressure as Tommy Rees, Jeff Ulbrich, and Craig Aukerman look to reshape their respective units for a turnaround season. Can Rees finally unlock Michael Penix Jr.’s potential under center and silence doubts about the offense’s direction? The panel debates Zach Robinson’s legacy, the urgency to establish an unpredictable attack with Bijan Robinson and Drake London, and what’s next if Penix struggles in a Stefanski-style scheme.  With Kaden Elliss’ future uncertain and the fallout from James Pierce Jr.’s legal issues clouding the Falcons’ defensive plans, Ulbrich’s push for continuity clashes with Ian Cunningham’s roster realities. On special teams, Aukerman steps in to repair Atlanta’s weakest phase, joined by embattled former Rams coordinator Chase Blackburn. Will this coaching “Avengers” squad deliver redemption, or will 2026 bring more questions than answers for the Falcons’ playoff hopes?   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!TurboTax For a limited time, you can have your taxes done by a local TurboTax expert for just $150 — all in, if a TurboTax expert didn’t file for you last year.

    STRATEGY: Atlanta Falcons Should WAIT on Michael Penix Jr. and INVEST in 2027 QB Class for IMPACT

    Atlanta Falcons face a pivotal crossroads at quarterback—should they stick with Michael Penix in 2026, or wait for a deeper draft class in 2027? Host Aaron Freeman weighs the risks of late-round QB picks and questions the wisdom of impatiently pivoting from Penix. With the franchise searching for its long-term answer under center, the host breaks down why dart throws in the NFL Draft often lead to disappointment, citing stats, recent examples, and the potential pitfalls of betting on reclamation projects in light of Sam Darnold’s success.  Explore the importance of an “evaluation year” in 2026, emphasizing how team timelines and coaching stability impact quarterback decisions in Atlanta. Key discussion points include the Falcons' potential playoff push, Kevin Stefanski’s coaching style, and the looming quarterback class of 2027.
