Atlanta Falcons reached a new turning point with Matt Judon and Justin Simmons

Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons may have reached a new turning point in recent team history with the additions of Matthew Judon and Justin Simmons. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down why it's so different from how the team has done business in the past. He discusses GM Terry Fontenot's acknowledgment of their initial interest but wonders why the team waited so long. But despite waiting a while, they made the moves earlier than they did a year ago, which represents growth.

Later, he discusses why Judon and Simmons help establish a more solid floor for the Falcons defense in 2024, and why they'll still be relying on young, unproven players to raise the unit's ceiling. He explains why they still need contributions from Richie Grant, Troy Andersen, Arnold Ebiketie, Mike Hughes, and Clark Phillips. Finally, he discusses Judon's decision to not push for a new contract as part of his trade to Atlanta and he discusses the potential challenges that could raise for the Falcons in the future. #trainingcamp #atlantafalcons
