Locked On Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons are counting on a number of young defensive players to step up in 2024. Host Aaron Freeman discusses four to see which one has the most breakout potential. First, he breaks down cornerback Clark Phillips and his ability to win a starting role at cornerback over veteran Mike Hughes. He breaks down Phillips' coverage and tackling abilities and whether Raheem Morris' defensive scheme will allow him to blossom. Later, he looks at the competition at safety between Richie Grant and DeMarcco Hellams to see who is the best fit in the Morris scheme. He discusses whether or not Grant's versatility will help or hurt him in a battle against Hellams due to the latter being tailor-made for the Cover 3. Finally, he discusses defensive end Zach Harrison and if his breakout potential is the most of the group due to his physical gifts. He also discusses Dee Alford and Troy Andersen's potential value.
