The Atlanta Falcons saw a big boost in the quality of their play-calling in their Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Host Aaron Freeman explains why play action was the key to their success. He discusses that despite quarterback Kirk Cousins’ numbers in play action not being great in Week 2, there were plenty of opportunities that the team should be able to exploit as the season progresses. He discusses the ongoing chess match between Robinson and the top defensive coordinators the Falcons will face in the coming months.
Later, he discusses why he thinks Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio isn’t quite deserving of the top label he readily gets. He breaks down why Fangio’s scheme made the Eagles especially vulnerable to the Falcons run game, and why the outside zone was so effective. Aaron explains why stopping the run is more of a numbers game. Finally, he discusses the Falcons’ struggles to stop Saquon Barkley and why it’s mostly owed to playing with softer boxes.
