Who's To Blame: Coaches or Players? Q&A Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

Aaron answers listener questions about the ongoing struggles of the Atlanta Falcons during the 2020 season.

Then he jumps into listener questions on topics including Deion Jones' peak, postponing games due to Covid-19, whether players or coaches are more to blame for the Falcons inability to finish games, lack of in-game adjustments, who would be the top choice as an interim coach and the team's lack of wide receiver depth.

First, Aaron breaks down the key injuries that could impact this matchup including those to Julio Jones and Takk McKinley. Then Lorin joins him to talk about what's at stake for both teams based off this weekend's result.

How Short is the Leash on Dan Quinn? With The Athletic's Jeff Schultz Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

Aaron is joined by The Athletic's Jeff Schultz to discuss the Atlanta Falcons' Week 2 loss against the Dallas Cowboys and Falcons head coach Dan Quinn's job security.

Jeff shares his thoughts on why the Falcons seem to be at the wrong end of historic losses and how much of their struggles can be attributed to poor coaching or insufficient personnel.

Then Jeff shares some positive takeaways from the Cowboys game, including Calvin Ridley and Takk McKinley's development, whether the team is looking for leadership and whether they did in fact know the rules governing onside kicks on Sunday.

Then they discuss which aspects of the team have stepped up and which have not so far in 2020 and the importance of pass rush vs. coverage before diving into the topic surrounding Dan Quinn's job security.

Jeff shares his insights on whether Falcons owner Arthur Blank will show the same amount of patience in 2020 as he did in 2019 with Quinn and how much the decision to potentially move on from Quinn weighs on Blank.

Jeff is on twitter: @JeffSchultzATL.
