Aaron reviews the all-22 film from the Atlanta Falcons Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, breaking down why his patience with Marcus Mariota is thin. He discusses what type of progress he wants to see from Mariota over the next month, and ways he can get better while also analyzing the Falcons' three sacks allowed from Sunday. He also discusses the release of Marlon Davidson, before answering listener questions. He compares and contrasts why the Bengals' offense was so effective at carving up the Falcons' defense, and why you don't see the same from Arthur Smith's play-calling. He discusses why he doesn't think there should be any urgency to make a significant move before the trade deadline. Then he discusses Kaleb McGary's play this year and if the team should re-sign or replace him this offseason before talking about other impending free agents such as Olamide Zaccheaus and Isaiah Oliver that have potentially earned new deals.
