LIIIINKS The Falcons dropped Week 1 in sloppy fashion and are tasked with facing the Eagles on the road in primetime. It’s an unenviable position, and big adjustments need be made lest Atlanta sits at 0-2 this time next week.
Read on for Falcoholinks for Wednesday.
Digesting the loss (heartburn guaranteed!)
It was fairly apparent from the outset that quarterback Kirk Cousins was not ready to play the Steelers in Week 1, so now the question looms: What is our level of concern ahead of the Eagles on Monday Night?
To dive into the concern level moving forward, how should we feel about quarterback Kirk Cousins?
Cap shenanigans
Atlanta GM Terry Fontenot freed up $4.9 million in additional cap space today by restructuring defender David Onyemata’s contract. The move portends another move to follow, so what does Terry have cookin’?
Falcons sign OT Brandon Parker
No, he’s not a Kaleb McGary replacement, but the Falcons filled the final spot on the 53-man roster by bringing in veteran tackle Brandon Parker. Parker will be needed depth on a team that only had one backup tackle currently on the roster.
