Aaron breaks down the keys to victory for the Atlanta Falcons entering their Week 12 matchup against the Washington Commanders, focusing on the team's ability to slow down defensive lineman Jonathan Allen. He breaks down why Allen and NOT Chase Young is the dominant defender along the Commanders front, and how blocking him will help their offense. Then, he takes a deep look into why Chase Young is one of the more overrated players in the NFL, looking back at his pre-draft hype and his post-draft disappointment. Finally, he discusses why Falcons WR Bryan Edwards has fallen by the wayside this year despite high expectations and how Marcus Mariota's ability to hit deep passes can unlock the full potential of the Falcons offense and push them into playoff contention.
