Can the Atlanta Falcons Stop Justin Fields? Should They Have Drafted Him Over Kyle Pitts?

Jarvis Davis (@Locked On Sports Atlanta) joins Aaron to discuss the stopping Justin Fields’ running ability as the key to victory for the Atlanta Falcons in their Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. They discuss if the team’s edge-rushers and defensive linemen such as Lorenzo Carter, Ade Ogundeji, and Ta’Quon Graham are up for the task of slowing down Fields. Then, they discuss the “situation” involved at the Falcons QB position, and how to adjust expectation for the Falcons coaching staff and quarterback thanks to Arthur Smith’s commitment to Marcus Mariota being the starter. Finally, they revisit the team’s decision to draft Kyle Pitts at the top of the 2021 NFL Draft, and discuss alternatives like Fields, Penei Sewell, and Micah Parsons.
