FALCONS SQUAD SHOW: Kevin Stefanski RETAINS some familiar names for the Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta Falcons prioritize continuity as Kevin Stefanski reshapes the coaching staff—will Bijan Robinson and the young defensive core spark a true breakthrough in 2026?

Additional hot topics include Stefanski’s Cleveland connections, potential roster additions, and which free agents most deserve to stay in Atlanta.

Ppl have to remember the browns had little to no talent on offense the last two seasons. That's why they were losing. The FO failed the franchise miserably with the Watson trade. He’ll have a lot better talent here in Atlanta. I'd expect him and the OC to have much better production. Especially, the run game with Bijan. Coaching front. I'm so glad they kept Ollie. Other guys? We’ll see, but on paper they look good.
Atlanta Browns… 2.0 😂😂
You can't make this stuff up.
"7-10, here we go again"
…prove me wrong.😶
I'm hoping for some fresh offensive lineman to coach up while we have Callahan on staff. We desperately need a refresh.
He hired Craig Auckerman as ST’s coach from the Titans. Had the Falcons been even average on ST’s last year they win at least 2 maybe 3 games. One more win the Falcons win the division and made the playoffs. Is this a good hire?
I knew it was goanna be difficult without having a first-round draft pick but look like we won't have GM anytime soon
That's highly unlikely not gonna happen lol it is the Falcons we are finding incredibly difficult to find some way to say yes to the GM position
You can easily find a good LB easier than you can find a TE like Pitts
So they rushed to hire Stefanski just to take there time hiring a GM
ian cunningham probably asked for something falcons not sure they want to give. For ian cunningham this is not a real GM job it's more of a assistant GM sense Matt is the GM
Kirk cousins will create a Sanders issue here with Penix. Not sure if the coach wants any part of that.
with the falcons having the most cap space out of the entire NFC south and without having a first round pick, they need to be aggressive this free agency.
4 starters and y'all still fired tha man
How do these 3 losers not mention Denzel Ward ??? He would instantly give us a top secondary
