Why the Atlanta Falcons sat out this year’s NFL trade deadline: Week 9 All-22 Review
Did the Atlanta Falcons make a shrewd move or miss an opportunity by not making a move at this year’s NFL trade deadline? Host Aaron Freeman breaks down why he thinks the Falcons were smart for standing pat. He breaks down why passing on pass-rushers like New York Giants’ Azeez Ojulari was the right call, despite the need for defensive firepower.
Later, he reviews the All-22 film and discusses the Falcons’ evolving defensive scheme against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Plus, discover how Arnold Ebiketie, Kaden Ellis, and Grady Jarrett stepped up their game in the pass-rush department. Finally, he revisits Kirk Cousins’ Chaos Meter level and sets the record straight on Darnell Mooney’s explosive impact this season.

we need to put Grady Jarrett in the middle not a defense
Failed to move up & get an edge in the draft, now failed in FA.
Wouldn't 2 ebiketes be better than 1?
Also historically….. Atlanta does not go for edge rushers in the draft…. Especially not early
Better luck next year scary terry. Maybe we can draft more players to ride the bench while paying 7 washed up veterans to play ahead of them
I knew when we got 3 sacks against the Cowboys we was NOT gonna make a move for a Pass Rusher. … smh
There was no smart move to make. Let the other teams overpay for backup-quality edge players.
Raheem needs to school Jimmy Lake on how to run that pass rush instead of allowing him to run it
you fcking retard GAME Managers do not throw for 3 TDs and get 144 QB ratings that's not game manager that's an elite QB you are a piece of sht
We better go for a pass rusher in the 1st round of 2025 draft
The pick up is Troy Anderson coming back; The dude is a real talent just keeps getting injured
Good show
Never understood our fans everybody is a twitter gm 😂
People shoulda never indulged this this immature fantasy about acquiring some big time game changing edge rusher in the middle of the season. Makes no sense whatsoever. We have no assets worth giving up and mortgaging our future for some jacksss DE who gives us 6 total sacks is asinine. Our team is our team this year. We are much improved and have a chance to play meaningful football in January. But nooooo…yall loser jabronis are still bishin and whinin. Would more sacks be preferred? Hell yeah! But Gyatdamn you people are insufferable. Yall act like no sacks means we have no chance to win a playoff game…
If Terry Fontenot has done nothing but drafted "Alfreds" on defense why do we even care about a 4th round pick? The logic makes no sense.
Also, Very Disappointed, Front Office must believe we R going to be OK,,, Kirk can't score TD's without the Ball
@Super.5th,,, hahaha ,,, that's what makes it fun, Kirk needs the Ball for us to spread the ball around and score 30 plus points, Particularly Important for the Playoffs
Thank-U for your perspective Brother,,,enjoyed myself 4 sure❤
Getting 3 sacks against the cowboys was fools gold. We should have used a late rounder to get a pass rusher.
