Aaron Taylor+FollowRuke Orhorhoro: Falcons’ X-Factor in 2024?Dirty Birds fans, keep your eyes on Ruke Orhorhoro this camp. ESPN just spotlighted him as Atlanta’s top “non-starter to know” after a rookie year cut short by injury. With Grady Jarrett gone, Orhorhoro’s bull rush and run-stopping could shake up the D-line rotation. If he steps up, he might just push Morgan Fox or Ta’Quon Graham for a starting gig. Is this the year Ruke makes his mark in Flowery Branch? #Sports #Football #FalconsNation11Share
Amy Williams+FollowIs Leonard Floyd the Falcons’ Risky Bet?Dirty Birds fans, what do you think about the Leonard Floyd signing? On paper, bringing in the former Dawg looked like a Fontenot masterstroke—veteran edge, leadership, and a shot at double-digit sacks. But dig into the numbers, and Floyd’s 2023 stats with the Niners look more like fool’s gold: career-low pass-rush win rate and bottom-tier PFF grades. At $10M for one year, is he really the answer, or just a stopgap while the young guns develop? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Football #FalconsNation10Share
Jay Williams+FollowDirty Birds’ Edge Duo Ready to Break Out?Falcons fans, are we sleeping on Zach Harrison and Arnold Ebiketie? While the league’s focused on our draft picks, it’s these two who could be the real game-changers. Harrison’s finally moving back outside, where he flashed big-time as a rookie, and Ebiketie ended last season on fire. With new faces like Pearce Jr. and Floyd joining the mix, could this be the year our pass rush puts the NFC South on notice? Let’s talk: are these guys the next Grady Jarrett-level stars? #DirtyBirds #RiseUp #FalconsNation #Sports #Football00Share
Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowJalon Walker: Falcons’ Defensive Gamechanger?Dirty Birds fans, could Jalon Walker be the missing piece we’ve needed on D? After years of loading up on offense (Pitts, London, Bijan, Penix Jr.), Atlanta finally made a defensive splash, grabbing Walker with their top pick. Insiders are calling him a 'grand slam' after his private Athens workout wowed the front office. With Walker set to start on day one, do you think he can spark a rivalry with NFC South QBs and turn our defense around? #FalconsNation #JalonWalker #NFLDraft #Sports #Football00Share
phughes+FollowIs Dirty Birds’ LB Corps the Next Big Fix?Falcons fans, are we looking at a linebacker dilemma next draft? After finally going defense-heavy in 2025, the Dirty Birds still have a question mark at off-ball linebacker. Kaden Elliss has been a tackling machine, but with his contract up and age creeping in, will Atlanta double down at LB in 2026? Especially since Jalon Walker might be more edge than true LB. And let’s not forget, we don’t have a first-round pick next year after the Pearce trade. What’s your take—should re-signing Elliss be the top priority, or is it time to draft his successor? #FalconsNation #RiseUp #NFLDraft #Sports #Football00Share
Michael Pitts+FollowShould the Dirty Birds Reunite Penix & Polk?Hey Falcons fans, what do you think about the idea of bringing Ja'Lynn Polk to Atlanta to reunite with his college QB, Michael Penix Jr.? Polk’s rookie year in New England was rough, but he was a beast at Washington with Penix slinging him the rock. With Ray-Ray McCloud III on his last contract year and Mooney possibly pricing himself out, snagging Polk now could be a smart move for the future. Is this the spark our offense needs? #DirtyBirds #FalconsNation #NFLRumors #Sports #Football00Share
Chad Williams+FollowLonghorns Reunite: Josh Thompson Joins ATLBig news for the Dirty Birds! Josh Thompson, the former Texas Longhorns DB, is back with the Falcons and will reunite with Bijan “Mr. Highlight” Robinson. Remember their epic 2021 Texas Tech blowout? Both guys found the end zone that day. Now, Thompson gets another shot at the 53-man roster after bouncing around the league. Can this Texas duo spark something special in Atlanta? #FalconsNation #HookEm #NFLNews #Sports00Share
Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowCan Josh Simon Break the Falcons TE Mold?Falcons fans, is Joshua Simon the next hidden gem? Despite going undrafted, this Gamecock standout shattered school records and has the measurables to match NFL vets. With the Falcons’ tight end room needing a spark behind Pitts, Simon’s athleticism and knack for big plays could shake up the depth chart. Can he turn draft-day disappointment into a roster spot? Let’s talk about his chances and what it means for the Dirty Birds’ offense! #FalconsNation #RiseUp #NFLRookies #Sports10Share
Trey Sanders+FollowIs Joshua Simon the Falcons’ Secret Weapon?Falcons fans, have we just landed the steal of the offseason? While all eyes were on the Dirty Birds’ revamped defense, GM Fontenot quietly scooped up Joshua Simon—South Carolina’s former WR1 at tight end—after the draft. With his elite speed (fastest TE 40 at the Combine) and knack for big plays, Simon could shake up the depth chart behind Kyle Pitts. Could he be the next big mismatch in Atlanta’s offense? Let’s talk about his chances to leapfrog the vets! #DirtyBirds #RiseUp #NFLDraft #JoshuaSimon #FalconsNation10Share
