TODAY'S EPISODE: FALCONS 2020 OUTLOOK, WIN OR BUST MODE |
It's another day in quarantine for you and me, but that's not the case for Will Brinson. Yes, that's right -- it's vacation day No. 76 for Brinson who has found a way to circumvent the system and so John Breech has graciously accepted host duties for a jam-packed episode that features long-time Falcons beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We dive into Dan Quinn's hot seat (and it's a scorcher), how Todd Gurley will provide juice for the offense, if the team's strong stretch run in 2019 says anything about the future, and a lot more. |

RANKING THE 10 BEST TIGHT ENDS FOR 2020 |
The tight end position doesn't get the glory it probably deserves in large part due to the fact that it is one of the most shallow positions in the NFL. If you found a way to acquire a good one, you better keep him -- because it's not going to be easy to find another. Which brings us to the question of why the Falcons let Austin Hooper walk in free agency, if he'll be able to maintain his breakout 2019 in Cleveland, and how they'll replace him. The top-10 is loaded with two-way tight ends (who can block and catch), but you might be surprised to see a few of the names who just made Cody Benjamin's cut. |

WHAT SAM DARNOLD HAS TO DO TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP |
The New York Jets actually had a winning record for the first time in a while during the 2019 season -- of course -- we're talking about in the games that Sam Darnold actually started. Although the win rate was solid, Darnold didn't have the kind of breakout season many were expecting from him in 2019. Will things change in 2020 now that the Jets have (finally!) committed to upgrading his offensive line? Chris Trapasso takes a really deep dive into Darnold's strengths and weaknesses to predict what his immediate future will look like. |

DEEBO SAMUEL SUFFERS JONES FRACTURE, NEEDS SURGERY |
Remember Deebo? The breakout 49ers rookie wide receiver made key plays that allowed San Francisco to reach the Super Bowl in 2019. Samuel was expected to take a massive leap forward in his second season, and many fantasy football analysts were already touting him as a breakout draft pick. That could all change now that Samuel has suffered a broken foot. We've got the latest on his diagnosis, his expected recovery timeline, and what the 49ers might do if he's forced to miss significant regular season time. |

AFC NORTH: ONE BREAKOUT PLAYER FOR ALL FOUR |
The AFC North could end up being a lot more competitive than people realize after both the Browns and Bengals made significant roster upgrades -- specifically on the offensive side of the ball -- and after Pittsburgh gets back Ben Roethlisberger. Ryan Wilson targeted one player on all four teams who's still on a rookie contract and could be the key cog in each team's success. |
