The Atlanta Falcons only have a few roster spots available on their 53-man roster after two preseason games. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down which players are on the bubble for the final six spots. He discusses Taylor Heinicke’s status as the third quarterback, Jase McClellan vs. Carlos Washington at running back, Chris Blair’s grip on a spot at wide receiver, and who will be the last man standing along the offensive line. He also discusses some potential trade candidates should the Falcons look to move Heinicke.
Later, he looks at the defense and why there may only be one or two spots available at safety, cornerback, and outside linebacker. He discusses the two-man race at safety between Dane Cruikshank and Micah Abernathy, the three-way race at cornerback between Natrone Brooks, Kevin King, and Anthony Johnson, and the battle between DeAngelo Malone and Demone Harris at outside linebacker. He breaks down why Brooks’ stellar tackling against the Baltimore Ravens is exactly what you want to see from a starting cornerback.
Finally, he puts a button on the issue of Michael Penix not playing against the Ravens and why Raheem Morris’ decision was made in regards to injury risk rather than the preseason being inconsequential.
