Locked On Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons face a formidable Pittsburgh Steelers defensive front in Week 1. Host Aaron Freeman explains why future Hall of Famer T.J. Watt won't be their biggest challenge Week 1. Instead, he discusses how Watt's presence will create one-on-one situations for their other pass rushers to take advantage of. He breaks down why Cameron Heyward, Alex Highsmith, and especially Keeanu Benton are the matchups to be concerned with going up against Matthew Bergeron, Jake Matthews, and Drew Dalman, respectively. Later, Aaron discusses another intriguing matchup between Falcons wide receiver Drake London and Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. He explains that Porter fared well against Puka Nacua in last year's Steelers win over the Los Angeles Rams, and how that might preview things to come between Porter and London. Finally, he breaks down how Kyle Pitts' status as a "unicorn" can present unique challenges to the Steelers defense at linebacker, safety, and nickel cornerback. #atlantafalcons #pittsburghsteelers
