Players reported for training camp yesterday, and now we just get to see how it all shakes out.

Hello to all of my fellow Falcoholics, and welcome to Wednesday. I didn’t get a chance to pull this post together for Monday or Tuesday due to scheduling and caregiving duties, but we’re back, just like the Falcons are back in Flowery Branch and ready to hit the training camp field tomorrow.

Below you’ll find all of the Falcons news you can use on this beautiful Wednesday morning, and scroll down to the comments and talk about the Falcons with your fellow...

All three levels of the defense will be worth a close watch this summer, for reasons that range from encouraging to worrisome.

Atlanta Falcons training camp is right around the corner, and the team has multiple storylines worth paying attention to throughout the process.

Here are three I will be keeping tabs on, and they’re ones you should watch closely, too.

Linebacker room: misfit toys or versatile assets?

Linebackers are one of the most misunderstood positions in football. Many factors that influence the results of a play are entirely out of their hands, most notably the defensive line keeping...

Training camp has arrived in Atlanta, as the pressure begins to intensify, with a revamped defense seeking difference makers and a solidified offense aiming to be more prolific.

For the third consecutive season, the Atlanta Falcons enter training camp with high expectations. The journey toward the playoffs continues following two disappointing seasons where the opportunity was there for the taking. Unlike the previous two years, there is more stability with an offense returning all starters except at center. It also helps when the coaching staff remains firmly intact on the offensive side of the ball.

The total opposite has taken...

From safety to kicker, the consequential combat for positional perches.

The Atlanta Falcons kick off training camp Thursday, with players arriving Wednesday. This is a time of anticipation for fans who have been waiting nearly eight months to see any sort of real NFL action again, and an opportunity for many a would-be Falcon, would-be star, and maybe especially would-be practice squad player to prove themselves.

This Falcons team is settled in many key spots—every offensive starter, your top two cornerbacks, all-world starting safety, the invaluable *punter—*but much is up for grabs on defense and even on special teams. Here’s...

The Falcons struggled at linebacker last season, but a big new addition in Divine Deablo along with Troy Andersen returning from injury could bring a much-needed boost to the position. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break it all down.

The Atlanta Falcons struggled at linebacker last season, but a big new addition in Divine Deablo along with Troy Andersen returning from injury could bring a much-needed boost to the position. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break it all down, including the highly-anticipated battle between Deablo and Andersen, the status of JD Bertrand, and more. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode...

There is a growing belief that the Falcons will have one new starting linebacker this season.

Improved linebacker play will be required for the Falcons’ defense to make notable strides this season. It was one of the primary areas where they didn’t make enough stops against the run or plays in coverage. As versatile as Kaden Elliss is, his athletic limitations make him best suited to playing closer to the line of scrimmage. That makes it imperative that the linebacker alongside him possesses legitimate range in coverage and can make sideline-to-sideline plays.

Troy Andersen and Divine Deablo will be the...

Michael Penix is ready to take flight, and he has the most experienced backup in the NFL behind him.

This is the Michael Penix show now. It came sooner than any of us anticipated, and it comes with Kirk Cousins still on the roster, which virtually none of us would have expected a year ago. It is here just the same.

The Atlanta Falcons have largely been blessed with quality quarterback play over the years, from the long Steve Bartkowski era to game stretches from Jeff George, Bobby Hebert, and Chris Chandler to the electrifying Michael Vick era to the...

The Falcons totally overhauled their safety room outside of star Jessie Bates, adding two rookies and a number of veterans to compete for primary roles. We break down Atlanta’s depth chart at safety.

The Atlanta Falcons totally overhauled their safety room outside of star Jessie Bates, adding two rookies and a number of veterans to compete for primary roles. Kevin Knight discusses Atlanta’s depth chart at safety, including the chances for Xavier Watts to start, where Billy Bowman will play, and the top competitors for the 53-man roster. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of the [Dirty Birds and Brews...

Led by the great Bijan Robinson, the Falcons figure to have one of the league’s better backfields in 2025.

Running back has a strong case for most potent position on the Atlanta Falcons roster. Bijan Robinson is an all-world talent fresh off a hugely impressive season, Tyler Allgeier is inarguably one of the best backup options in football, and the team has an array of young, solid players vying for their third spot.

That means there’s limited intrigue here in terms of position battles, and much to celebrate for the season ahead. By releasing 2024 draft pick Jase McClellan, however,...
