Matthew from Cumming, GA Just like on offense, a good defensive coordinator will take advantage of his personnel and try to put his guys in positions to succeed. I know about the news of teams being able to tarp off 6-8 rows at their own stadiums. Matt: Hi, Eric. I think Takk McKinley has a lot to prove this season and I'm rooting for him. If so, hit the link. Love Marlon Davidson!! As most of you know by now, I tested positive for COVID-19 days before the draft. C- pick. Melvin from Morrow, GA Now that the draft is over and the Falcons focused on those needs we hoped they would, I just want to say I really really, really LOVE the UDFA signing of Jared Pinkney. Remember this: the NFL is all about matchups (creating them) and taking advantage of them. I really liked the pickup of Marlon Davidson and Jaylinn Hawkins. Falcons quarterbacks were sacked 50 times in 2019. There's no question that Georgia fielded an outstanding defense in 2019. Sounds right! Rise up and come back better than ever! Thanks. Every team wants to hit the ground running, but there's no question this pandemic will be a factor moving forward. I'd love to see a guy like Dre Kirkpatrick in the mix with that group. The Falcons are looking for the best players who fit into what they want to do – and who will make them better.

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (25) runs from Minnesota Vikings defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (91) during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 18, … Matt: You got it, Jake. Fowler can't do it all on his own. What pick was your favorite, least favorite and who did you honestly think the Falcons would pick when they were on the clock at 16 (after some of the names associated with the Falcons were gone)? What do you think the possibility of that happening is? Something Takk McKinley + 2021 4th and 7th rounder might do the trick. Mike from Calgary, Canada I don't think Henderson could have been any better either. I love his attitude, his confidence and the way he plays. Aaron from Harrisonburg, VA There was no question that the Falcons needed a cornerback and I was happy to see them land a top-tier one in A.J. He made 63 catches for 866 yards and scored seven touchdowns. Ryan from Ludlow, MA However, the Falcons pass rush could be taken to another level with one trade: Yannick Ngakoue. I'm a little concerned especially for the players we needed to take a big step this year with everything going on do you think they're getting the training and everything else needed to take the next step and do you think all this pandemic stuff is going to hurt the teams when it comes to training camp. New Ravens’ DE Yannick Ngakoue will fly to Baltimore in the next 24 hours to go through COVID testing so that he can be ready to join his new team next week after it comes off its bye and returns to start preparations for next Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Personally, I'll never forget these last few weeks. That's they'd be very expensive to acquire. I do think the Falcons must get into the playoffs and winning a game or two would probably go a long way. We are now just 10 weeks and six days away from the Falcons kicking off the regular season at home against the Seahawks on Sept. 13. If there's one play that captures what Davidson is all about, it's this one below: Atlanta Falcons 2nd Round Pick DT/DE Marlon Davidson chasing down Falcons WR Russell Gage#Falcons #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2020 pic.twitter.com/Mie0iSxzc7. So, you asked, what does it look like? I asked you what you thought, and the result are below: SFTB Question of the Day: What do you think of the Patriots signing ex-Panthers QB Cam Newton to an incentive-laden one-year deal? You've mentioned several times that you believe we will see a lot of two-linebacker formations. But the draft is about staying true to your board (each players is assigned a grade) and then when it's time to make a pick, deciding to take the best available (even if it's a need or not) or taking the highest-rated player who feels an immediate need. Ask a question here and it could be posted on AtlantaFalcons.com. You've got questions about the Falcons and we've got answers – Straight from the Beek. Matt: Here we go again. My question is in regards of training camp for the Falcons. 1 college defense in the country is ignored by Quinn and TD. You can answer thru my email. Something will happen with some team somewhere before the season starts and the teams that have Griffen on speed dial will be buring up the lines to get him. As far as who I thought the Falcons would take once Simmons, Brown, Okudah, Henderson and Kinlaw were off the board … I thought there was a good chance they might take K'Lavon Chaisson, the versatile edge rusher out of LSU. Hey, Matthew. Matt: Hi, Addie. Everson Griffen is a free agent and Yannick Ngakoue is playing under the franchise tag. Matt: I try not to get too excited about the undrafted free agents until camp starts and we start seeing them play against the regular starters with the pads on. I know there are a TON of you out there who enjoy talking about the Falcons backup QB situation "just in case" … Look, the Falcons hope that the only time the backup quarterback is out on the field taking snaps during the regular season is in the victory formation at the end of games. He does a lot of things really well – he has great hands, has good balance in pass protection, reaches gaps well on run plays, can take on combination blocks and knows how to reach that second level. I wouldn't worry about that stuff and here's why. What about trading for Jaguars Yannick Ngakoue? Can't wait to see your opinion brother! My dad loved football, taught me about it, took me to games all over the country, once introduced me to Giants great Harry Carson (above) and it was something that we bonded over (plus he read Straight from the Beek religiously). The more I look at the A.J. I just don't see that happening with the Falcons considering their current cap situation. The best skill-position players are rendered useless when the quarterback is on his back. Eric from South Dakota Please do what you can to stay safe, be well and don't let your guards down. They also have guys capable of playing both inside and out (depending on the package) – Allen Bailey, John Cominsky and Marlon Davidson. Take care, my man! To acquire Ngakoue, a team would have to trade for him (ESPN's Field Yates recently outlined what a potential deal might look like). How are you doing Beek? But, to me, that's more of a concern than defensive end. Will a team end up signing him? I had him listed as a top five tight end in this draft and I just think that he will be an immediate upgrade to the depth of our roster! Will he be a season-long distraction? Do you have a question about the Falcons that you want answered Straight from the 'Beek? I definitely think the Falcons will add some pass rushers before it's all said and done. What's going to make him happier on a potential new team? And for good reasons. Vivian from Grayson, GA While there was a really tough four-day span for me, I think the worst is behind me. Matt Ryan, 35, is the starter and firmly entrenched there. There's a lot that will transpire throughout the league in the coming weeks and months as rosters take shape and teams make decisions on how to build their teams. Richard from Lawrenceville, GA As I noted above, it all depends on who is available when it comes time to pick. The other thing that makes Yannick Ngakoue a top-flight edge-rusher is his speed off the snap. But no one is picking a player based solely on that. I was so sorry to read just now that your father has passed away. Those are a just few of the questions that teams will possibly ponder and have to answer. Plus, if a team did trade for him, they'd likely have to work out a long-term contract extension. I don't know. Feeling better yet? Thank you. Can you see that being a possible measure at training camp, where certain parts will be tarped off for player and fan safety? Jake from Gainesville, GA Terrell. Hope you are recovering from contracting the 'Rona. The fact that he can play center and left guard is huge. Now, let's dig into your questions. When they took A.J. I think he's a great addition to the Falcons defensive front. I love the idea of him lining up next to Grady Jarrett. I really look for us to add a couple of veterans over the summer. Are the Falcons looking to sign Colin Kaepernick? #beekpoll. Does a program, the level of competition, coaching and the scheme he played in factor into his grade? Pick one and give us hope, man. You can't have enough of them on your roster. Hey Beek! Period. I would pick Davidson if I only get one selection – he will look good next to Grady Jarrett on our D Line. I think Griffen will sign with a team as we get closer to the season – which won't be too long; we're 76 days away from the Falcons' season-opening game against the Seahawks on Sept. 13. Will one of those guys step up this season? Is there cap space for a long-term deal with him? Please change this and draft some Georgia Bulldogs players for the Falcons. Tommy from Atlanta, GA © 2020 Hubbard Radio, YouTube Terms of Service | Google Privacy Policy, Minnesota Vikings defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (91) looks on in the first quarter during an NFL football game against the Atlanta Falcons, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020, in Minneapolis. It's good to get some insight from someone who is around the team and all that. It's a tremendous opportunity for him as he enters the final year of his current contract. The Falcons defeated the Vikings 40-23. The Vikings officially announced the trade but did not reveal the draft picks they obtained. Michael from Roswell, GA I honestly don't see players signing autographs in the traditional way (if at all), either. I just want you all to know that your words have carried me, inspired me and touched me. Hey Beek! https://t.co/YLwJX2lNoS, — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 22, 2020, This web site is not intended for users located within the European Economic Area. There's a reason he wants out, right? I think Matt Schaub will be the Falcons backup in 2020. What about trading for Jaguars Yannick Ngakoue? I have one question for you. Thanks for reading SFTB! There will be some good players that will hit the streets as well as players that could be moved – someone like Yannick Ngakoue is a possibility, I'd think. But, for now, I'm going to go with Marlon Davidson. I have to wonder why the No. But, as you pointed out, expectations are high this season.
