The Blame Game: Coaching vs. Execution in Week 1 with Dave Choate

Aaron is joined by The Falcoholic's Dave Choate to recap the Atlanta Falcons 38-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.

They discuss the team's aggressiveness on fourth downs and decide how much blame should be on the "poor coaching" vs. "poor execution." Then they get into the encouraging signs in all three phases of the game from the Seahawks loss, including the emergence of Russell Gage, Takk McKinley and the offensive line. Dave shares his concerns about issues that could become problematic in Week 2's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Then they discuss the impending return of Laquon Treadwell, the Falcons ongoing competition and rotation at left guard and safety, and whether Week 2 is a "must win."
