The Falcons have arguably the worst pass rush in football, owning a league-low five sacks through six games, including two weeks with none. It’s also not like the club is affecting quarterbacks and just unable to sack them. The Falcons rank 29th in team pressures, so the narrative that they’re just not converting the pressures
The Braves don’t have a lot of wiggle room this offseason, with so many of their everyday players locked into long-term deals, but they do have a lot of potential holes that need filling. The rotation could be addressed with the possible departures of Max Fried and Charlie Morton. The bullpen could use another southpaw
Falcons fans are consuming themselves with the NFL trade deadline, which is about three weeks away, and it’s not hard to see why. Despite multiple defensive coordinators and countless resources poured into it, the pass rush is still one of the worst in football. Right now, the Falcons own a league-low five sacks. It’s the
The Braves could essentially roll it back with a very similar squad in 2025, but there’s also the possibility of a lot of unforeseen changes. The most notable being Max Fried’s looming free agency.

The Falcons have played a lot of encouraging ball over their first six games, sitting atop the division with a 4-2 record, but there are a couple of facets that have been dreadful. The run defense has been poor. The interior defensive line is soft, and it looks like the linebackers are just guessing in
Earlier this week, an old Falcons friend was released by the Steelers. Per a team announcement, Pittsburgh waived Atlanta’s fifth-round pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, Ade Ogundeji, from the 53-man roster among a flurry of roster moves. Along with Ogundeji, the Steelers released Jaray Jenkins and added Lance McCutcheon to the practice squad in
The Falcons sit in pole position in the NFC South following their convincing victory over the Panthers on Sunday, and everyone in Atlanta is actually excited about the team again, but there’s an alternate reality with Deshaun Watson that would be literal hell.
