Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons is set to visit the Atlanta Falcons this week and host Aaron Freeman explains why this potential move is a dramatic shift for the organization. He discusses Simmons' potential impact to add a "second Jessie Bates" to the secondary and breaks down why a talent like Simmons is still available despite his pedigree.

Later, he discusses if the Falcons have the salary cap flexibility to sign Simmons and ways they can move money around to make his addition possible. Finally, he discusses why the team's pursuit of Simmons is a shift in policy and may mean that their complacent approach to team building may be a thing of the past.

The Atlanta Falcons got an impressive day of practice from wide receiver Drake London on Wednesday. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down why that could lead to an explosive offense in 2024. He discusses the importance of the Falcons' ability to generate explosive plays this year from Zac Robinson's play-calling. Later, he discusses the Falcons' sense of urgency and whether Kirk Cousins is helping them get there despite not playing in the preseason. He breaks down why he thinks it's less important that the team play guys in the preseason this summer versus past years. Finally, he discusses ongoing battles along the offensive line and whether Brandon Dorlus is a solution to the team's pass-rush woes at outside linebacker.

The Atlanta Falcons made waves this week with the additions of outside linebacker Matthew Judon and safety Justin Simmons. Host Aaron Freeman discusses why these moves are major needle movers. He explains how "Uncle" Terry Fontenot has given us a new, interesting gift by adding two big pieces to the defense and why that completely rewrites the team's 2024 outlook. Later, Jarvis Davis (‪@LockedOnATL‬) joins to discuss which players to watch in the team's second preseason game vs. the Baltimore Ravens. Finally, Dalton Wasserman (‪@PFFCFB‬) joins to discuss the impact of the Judon trade, the upcoming college football season, and the 2025 NFL Draft class. #trainingcamp #atlantafalcons #collegefootball #2025nfldraft Part of the ‪@LockedOnATL‬ Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOFalcons?sid=...

The Atlanta Falcons had a slow start and strong finish in their first day of joint practices against the Miami Dolphins. Host Aaron Freeman and guest Daniel Flick (Fan Nation) discuss the day's standouts and which team "won" the day. They discuss how quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix both settled after a rough early start to practice, possibly due to some jet lag after a late flight into Miami. Daniel shares his thoughts on the Falcons' ability to reliably scheme up pressure.

Later, Daniel discusses how the Falcons cornerbacks fared going up against Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. They also discuss Lorenzo Carter's ability to apply pressure. Finally, Aaron answers some listener questions about the Falcons offense relying on the short and intermediate passing game with Cousins at the helm, and whether or not Ray-Ray McCloud's snaps on special teams will be limited due to his increased role on offense.

The Atlanta Falcons took a blow to their pass rush due to the season-ending injury to rookie outside linebacker Bralen Trice. Host Aaron Freeman discusses how that injury impacts Trice, the team, and if the team can find more pass-rush help elsewhere. He first discusses how this move impacts Trice and how big a setback this could potentially be for his NFL career. Then he breaks down why he is skeptical that the team will seek to make a splash trade for disgruntled New York Jets outside linebacker Haason Reddick, Arnold Ebiketie's preseason "struggles," and if signing free-agent safety Justin Simmons is on the horizon. He also speculates on whether or not we'll hear good news about safety DeMarcco Hellams' injury.

He also discusses the team's roster moves over the weekend, bringing back QB John Paddick and signing RB Spencer Brown. He breaks down why wide receiver Jakeem Grant is here to help out on special teams, not offense despite the earlier injury to Rondlae Moore.
