Tough, physical defense will be the Atlanta Falcons' brand-new identity

The Atlanta Falcons are building a "cold-weather team" in a warm-weather environment thanks to the hard-nosed identity on both offense and defense. Host Aaron Freeman is joined by John and Mike (@outtayourfalconmind) to discuss why they're excited about this year's Falcons squad especially with the defensive additions made this offseason. They discuss Grady Jarrett's influence on the team and how he embodies their newfound mindset.

Then, they break down what are some of their lingering concerns about the team heading into the season. They share concerns about a potential quarterback controversy and whether or not center Drew Dalman will take the necessary step this year to solidify the team's offensive line.

Later, they discuss the potential training camp battles at nickel cornerback and left guard and why the discussion of the running back position is overblown. They also discuss the players with the greatest upside on the roster.
