☢️Penix, Bijan, London, Pitts
Mike and Ovie are here to take us through what they have seen through the second week of preseason Falcons football and its starting to sound a lot like last year for better or worse, in that we still don't have starters on the field. It seems like the Falcons are the only ones opting for this strategy but the fans want to see players like Bijan, Tyler Allgeier and Michael Penix. Listen in to hear about what the best running back and fullback duo in Falcon's history thought of the most recent loss to the Titans and what they still have to improve, ONLY right here on Bleav in Falcons!
The Atlanta Falcons enter training camp with plenty of fantasy intrigue. Can Bijan Robinson carve out an even bigger role in year two, or will Tyler Allgeier still command meaningful touches? How does rookie Michael Penix Jr. look in camp, and could we see Kirk Cousins sooner than expected if things get rocky? We'll also break down the wide receiver depth behind Drake London, whether Kyle Pitts is finally primed for a breakout, and highlight a sneaky fantasy sleeper to watch in 2025. Plus, we touch on the state of the Falcons defense.Joe Bond and Keith Flemming are joined by Myles Garrett from Fox 5 Atlanta. Follow him on Twitter @milesgarretttv.

The Atlanta Falcons star opens up about stepping fully into his role as a leader and playmaker, entering year 3 with more confidence, focus, and responsibility than ever before. Bijan shares what it's been like to silence the doubters, thrive in a system finally tailored to his skill set, and carry the weight of high expectations with grace and hunger. Stemming from humble beginnings and rooted by his faith- Bijan is ready for what's ahead. Bijan reflects on the highs and lows of his early career and how a new sense of clarity—have changed everything. He speaks on the impact of playing under Raheem Morris, a head coach who believes in him fully and isn't afraid to build the offense around his dynamic skill set. Bijan talks about the team's transition from veteran Quarterback Kirk Cousins to Michael Penix Jr and what he's seen from him so far in arm talent, poise, and leadership—and how their chemistry could become one of the league's most dangerous duos, especially as the team looks to have Bijan expanding his offensive role running routes this season. He also talks about what it meant to have the league's standard as his position, Saquon Barkley publicly praise him as “the most naturally gifted back of this generation,” and how that respect from a peer pushed him to raise his game. Bijan details his intense offseason training with another star back, Christian McCaffrey, learning firsthand from one of the most disciplined and productive backs in the league—gaining not only physical tools but a veteran mindset.
