On today's show, Steve Geller and Charlie Long cap off "Atlanta Hate Week" while we preview the Saints/Falcons NFC South matchup in which both teams share a lot more similarities than you think, the importance of the Saints defensive front getting after Falcons QB Kirk Cousins who has not remotely looked 100% or comfortable just shy of a year removed from tearing his Achilles and how on the other side the Saints O-line has prepared for playing without Erik McCoy and Cesar Ruiz. Later on, we hear from Deuce McAllister on how the Saints can "throw the kitchen sink" at Cousins to make him uneasy, the almost dead-even history between these two franchises, and Taysom Hill is returning but can he slot right back in or will the run game still be Alvin & Friends?
In the second hour, Steve and Charlie discuss how the Saints/Falcons games have a history of being... a little odd so it is okay to feel uneasy heading into today's bout but what we won't stand for is allowing Kirk Cousins to slice and dice up a Saints defense he has a history of carving up, so what can the Saints do to keep Kirk guessing and uneasy within that pocket, and we discuss what Taysom Hill's usage in the team will be as he bounces back from a chest injury and if we may see Drake London or Kyle Pitts take that big next step today against the Black & Gold.
Steve and Charlie look back at the storied history between the Saints and those damn Dirty Birds, the name that Deuce should be given as his commentary has taken a prophetic turn as of late, and it is confirmed, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave will both be active for the massive NFC South battle, and with Taysom Hill returning, his record against the Falcons stands tall at 10-4 but how much of his work load might we see today?
Steve and Charlie hear from Deuce McAllister on what the Saints need to do to make Kirk Cousins be uncomfortable and not protected within the pocket as the Black & Gold should "throw the kitchen sink at him", as well as what Big Kirko can do if given time to scan the field and pierce through the Saints secondary via his 13-years in the league experience and stats to back up solid performances against the Saints regardless of what team he is on.
Steve Geller and Charlie Long start off the show revisiting the injury report throughout the weeks, what lineup we may see in our starting O-line, as well as how vital this game is for the Saints defensive line with Kirk Cousins looking incredibly stiff and unable to really move outside the pocket not even a full year removed from his Achilles injury, and we dive into what the Saints can do to make sure that the Falcons get in a hole and don't get up.
Steve and Charlie break down how important today's game is for both teams as the Saints schedule is heavily front loaded with NFC South games so building a lead can be incredible, what a fairly immobile Kirk Cousins strengths are since we all know he won't be scrambling for 12+ yards when nobody is open or the pocket collapse, and how if the Saints come out on top, the Falcons might just be unable to get back up in the NFC South title race.
Steve and Charlie recap the week's injury reports as Olave and Kamara are possibly taking the field today but nothing is certain, what this offensive line will look like missing Erik McCoy and Cesar Ruiz, but on the other side of the ball, the Falcons offensive line is just as injured meaning the likes of Cam Jordan, Carl Granderson, and Chase Young should show up big today!

On today's show, Steve Geller and Jeff Nowak get together on this first Fall-like football weekend to break down how the Saints do need to come out the gate on fire and not stumble against a team that is better than their 2-15 record last year but can still give teams trouble, the team will have to name a backup QB today so who might it be, and how much this team is bought into each other and the chemistry within this locker room.
