Aaron discusses the season-ending injury to Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Vincent Taylor, head coach Arthur Smith's modified outlook on the preseason, and if second-year guard Jalen Mayfield is on the roster bubble after a week of training camp.

He discusses how Taylor's injury only increases the team's needs along the defensive line and if the team will be in a hurry to address them. He also breaks down how Smith's willingness to play starters this preseason and how it can help quarterback Desmond Ridder's development. Finally, he discusses Mayfield's continued struggles and if the Falcons will be one of many teams calling the Chicago Bears to acquire tackle Teven Jenkins.
