Aaron discusses the scrutiny and pressure that Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith is under to turn the team around and start winning.

First, he discusses Deion Jones' potential return to the lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and how it impacts the matchup before diving into why he tends to avoid the "civil war" amongst Falcon fans surrounding quarterback Matt Ryan.

Then, he discusses why it's important that the team get improved play-calling in addition to a talent infusion if they hope to achieve success during Ryan's final years in Atlanta.

Finally, he breaks down the challenges that the Falcons will have to overcome from a drafting, team-building, coaching, and development standpoint to achieve success along short and long-term timelines.
