Historically, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins plays some of his best ball in the month of October. Hosts Aaron Freeman and James Yarcho (@LockedOnBucs) debate if that’ll be enough to lift them over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their Week 5 Thursday Night matchup. Will the Falcons get a boost to their run game and offensive line with the potential healthy return of right tackle Kaleb McGary? How will the injury to linebacker Troy Andersen impact their defense, and how big a role will rookie replacement J.D. Bertrand have on the defense?

Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield is off to a blazing start, completing over 70% of his passes and ranking among the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Can the Falcons' defense, which struggled to pressure opponents, rise to the challenge? Can the Bucs defense get after Cousins like they did against Jalen Hurts in their Week 4 win over the Philadelphia Eagles? Aaron and James discuss keys to victory and give score predictions.

Are the Atlanta Falcons' offensive struggles really about Kyle Pitts and Kirk Cousins, or is there more to the story? Host Aaron Freeman dives into the All-22 film from the team's Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints. He discusses Pitts' struggles against the Saints, but why his limited role within the offense is a bigger concern. He diagnoses Cousins' poor decisions at the end of the game and why they were somewhat forgivable before explaining why offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has been the biggest disappointment on offense.

Later, he discusses linebacker Troy Andersen's breakout performance and his value moving forward if/when he returns healthy from a knee injury. He also discusses why cornerback Mike Hughes is exceeding expectations as a starter and how Clark Phillips can make up ground if he can get better in run support. Finally, he discusses the team's improved run defense and pass rush and if that will progress will continue given concerns about the team's defensive line depth with Zion Logue heading to the Buffalo Bills. #atlantafalcons #neworleanssaints

The Atlanta Falcons earned a 26-24 win over the New Orleans Saints off the backs of their defense and special teams in Week 4. Host Aaron Freeman discusses why kicker Younghoe Koo and linebacker Troy Andersen had standout performances. Koo's four field goals, Andersen's pick six, and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge's special teams touchdown on a muffed punt were huge in compensating for a lackluster day from the Falcons offense, who failed to score a touchdown. He breaks down why this game is a huge step forward for the team's defense. Later, Aaron explains why the offense came up short in critical, situational moments. He highlights some of the standouts like Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson along with the team's beat-up offensive line, along with some of the lowlights on that side of the ball. Finally, he looks ahead to the team's short turnaround before facing another NFC South divisional foe in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5 on Thursday Night Football.
