- The Atlanta Falcons defense stepped up on the second day of padded practices. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down if there is more to come during the regular season. He breaks down Raheem Morris' reaction to Kirk Cousins's surprise mobility and whether the team's offensive line giving up six sacks is a sign of things to come for both the offense and defense.
Later, he discusses the expectations for the Falcons defense entering the 2024 season. He discusses if this year's unit can improve upon the progress made in 2023, and breaks down exactly how good last year's defense was. He discusses if the pass rush will regress before looking at signs for optimism if their bend but don't break defense and shift to more zone coverage could lead to improvements in other areas.

We don't need to be great we just need to be good. And I feel like they can build off of last year plus make a few more strides to be better down the stretch.
The insider breakdowns are great!! Looking forward to the Raheem defense one🤙
I hope one of these young edges takes a huge leap because if not we are going to be in trouble in the playoffs
They will #RISEUP
should have drafted turner or latu
Hello The Iron that Sharpens the Iron, long time listener first time caller.
This is my first time following the NFL through an off-season. I know every coaching staff would feel confident about their plans (or at least project outward confidence), but Raheem Morris and Jimmy Lake seem to be projecting extreme confidence in response to the concerns about the defense.
In Raheem's interview on the Pivot podcast, he literally laughed off concerns about the pass rush. The vibe was that he knows something we all don't. Jimmy Lake said that they're going to lean into the versatility of certain players to create confusion for the offence. Dave Archer used the metaphor of the D-Line as a "pack of wolves". The implication of all this being that the coaching staff seem to thing they can elevate their squad through galaxy-brain playcalling. Given that the new regime is apparently so defense-oriented, it doesn't sound crazy.
But I saw a comment on twitter that handwaved this idea as 'sim pressure' and just creating the impression that it's a bunch of bullshit. And it's easy to imagine that every defensive coach in the pre-season thinks their schemes are GOATed.
So what am I supposed to make of this? Are Morris and Lake just putting out spin? Are they overconfident? Could they actually know something we don't? I don't know what to think Mr. Drew.
player quality wins in nfl schemes dont matter
Sure, they could know something we don't. But as you point out, coaches often talk the talk this time of year. And in a few months we'll all find out if they can walk the walk. But I tend to think their confidence is tied to the idea that they're counting on the defense being "good enough" to complement a high-performing offense.
At some point we have got to take a look at ngokuoe

drafting penix was a mistake either defense or rome was the move
Man please, get over it. We have our starting future qb and a new draft next year. There wasn't a pass rusher available who was worth #8 and hardly any worth 1st rd. And we need another #1 wr like another hole in the head. The only thing that bothers me is that we didn't hit on a rusher in fa.
@@hbccareers6745 wrong they ruined chance to win sb
@@thetrevorsimpson-u8o they weren't headed to sb this year anyway. I expect playoffs, division title, but sb is next year or the next.....like I said, 2 more drafts.
@@hbccareers6745 this is a bad idea people have teams not headed to SB wins SBs all the time MEANWHILE teams in SB window not only dont win SBs they dont even make them
Raheem is about to scheme the pass rush with Dtackles and inside linebackers. A premium edge defender may not be that important in this defense. The year the Rams went to the superbowl with Raheems defense, Von Miller was declining and only had 5 sacks
People are ignorant of the fact that if you have a true 2gap nt....then Jarrett and onye will be disruptive. Thus, pressure can be orchestrated via AK, Harrison, elliss, carter, and anderson
I would like to say this. This Falcons team with Ridder at QB beat the Packers with Jordan Love at the helm and the Texans with CJ Stroud at the helm.
I say that to say this...as bad as people want to say the Falcons are on D. Or as a team in general. They still beat two teams that are considered contenders this yr with 1 hand tied behind their backs.
Realize this team scored 15 pts a game last season. With no passing game to speak of or a running game that never really materialized and still almost won the Div.
I know this team will score at least 28pts a game, and that is on the low end.
The Falcons will be this yrs Detroit Lions.
Jump on the bandwagon now, people!!!
If we’re watching these kind of videos, safe to say we’re not jumping on any bandwagon. This is for the masochists who watch the Falcons whether they’re gold or garbage.
@@DreamConundrum whatever that mean

If you’re a fan then have some faith 😂
As a fan, I've had faith for 33 years. What has it got me? A lot of heartache lol
