Locked On Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons' success in 2024 depends on their ability to learn lessons from the 2023 failures of NFC South rivals New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers. Host Aaron Freeman revisits last June's episode examining all four NFC South teams' "fatal flaws." He notes the parallels between the current Falcons and past Saints and Panthers teams that didn't meet expectations last year. He discusses how the Saints overpaid Derek Carr locking themselves into a bad salary cap situation and mediocrity for the foreseeable future, examining parallels with the Falcons signing Kirk Cousins. He breaks down how the future of the Carolina Panthers looked so bright with Bryce Young, yet was derailed by poor coaching and hopes the Falcons don't befall the same fate with Michael Penix in the future. Finally, he discusses the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' recent success atop the NFC South as a result of their lack of complacency.Part of the @LockedOnATL Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
