Will Atlanta Falcons starters execute vs. Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 of preseason?

The Atlanta Falcons starters will take the field for the first time in the team’s second preseason matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals later this week. While the Bengals starters may sit out, that doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can evaluate for the Falcons. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down what to watch in terms of execution for both the offense and defense on Friday night.

Then, Aaron discusses outside linebacker Arnold Ebiketie’s usage in the Falcons’ first preseason outing against the Miami Dolphins, and why his expanded role on special teams may mean that he won’t be featured nearly as much as a pass-rusher this season.

Later, Aaron breaks down offensive lineman Jalen Mayfield’s growth and improvement against the Dolphins, and whether or not he has what it takes to be the team’s swing tackle. He discusses what exactly the Falcons are looking for in a backup behind starting offensive tackles Jake Matthews and Kaleb McGary, and if Mayfield is able to fill that void.
