A to Z with Mark Zinno: Falcons' Fans Need To Stay Focused & Aaron Freeman Joins A To Z
The “quarterback controversy” for the Atlanta Falcons has made fans and media forget about the litany of other problems with the Falcons. The Falcons’ defense is one of the worst in the league by several metrics. The pass rush that this city has longed for is still missing. There are questions at several other positions. It also seems that even though the Falcons can run the ball really well, the offensive line is awful in pass protection and that also has to change. Secondly, Aaron Freeman of Locked on Falcons joined the show to discuss why Desmond Ridder should get his...

A to Z with Mark Zinno: Mariota Is The Guy & Hunter Might Be The Key
Arthur Smith has made it abundantly clear that he's not changing quarterbacks. At least, not now. He's also made it clear that if it were as simple as changing one player to win games, he would do it. Smith is a good coach and he's well aware of the limitations of Marcus Mariota, but he's also aware of the limitations of Desmond Ridder and that's also part of the equation. Next, the Atlanta Hawks got a good win last night in Milwaukee and DeAndre Hunter was the leading scorer. This leads me to think that Hunter is a key p...

The Atlanta Falcons will get set to take on the Chicago Bears this week and while it will be tempting for many fans and media members to try and re-write the history of the 2021 draft and how the Falcons should have taken Justin Fields, don't do that. If you want to make the argument that Atlanta shouldn't have taken Kyle Pitts, that's fine. But don't make it about taking Justin Fields because if you look at the players that were taken after Pitts, Fields isn't remotely close to the one they should have taken.

The Atlanta Falcons’ loss last night wasn't because of one player. Despite how bad Marcus Mariota was, there were so many other things that were awful last night including the O-line, the run game, the defense and even the kicker! I know people want to see Desmond Ridder, but that's not going to happen as long as the Falcons have a shot at the playoffs. Ridder's ceiling is no higher than Mariota's but his floor is much lower. The Atlanta Hawks got a win over the depleted Philadelphia Sixers. Trae Young had another bad shooting night, despite leading the tea...
