Aaron discusses what's at stake this weekend and this season for the Atlanta Falcons, head coach Arthur Smith, and quarterback Matt Ryan.


He discusses the importance of the Falcons improving in Week 2, and how it could help better evaluate a player like Kaleb McGary or a coach like Arthur Smith.


Then, he discusses Matt Ryan's tenuous future in Atlanta and how it's tied to winning. He breaks down how Ryan's contract makes it difficult for the Falcons to justify continuing to pay him if they're not getting results on the field, why the Justin Fields vs. Kyle Pitts conversation isn't going away, and learning past lessons from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in regards to the Falcons finding a successor to Ryan down the road.
