Josh @joshkendall.bsky.social would have you Imagine a voiced AI agent telling you to look out for the weakside linebacker while you’re sitting alone in your office on a Tuesday night. Yikes. “I’m a little scared.” Good stuff in here about where things are headed. www.nytimes.com/athletic/644...
AI is coming to the NFL, and it could transform the game
The next wave of artificial intelligence will make the fourth-down bot look like an abacus.

Today on The Athletic Football Show: @qbklass.bsky.social and I revisited our Coldest Takes from the 2024 preseason — and tried to figure out what lessons we can learn from them. Full show: pod.fo/e/2d1db3
The Falcons took two risks in selecting James Pearce Jr. This is why they think it was worth it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/633...
How the Falcons got comfortable with a risky trade up for James Pearce Jr.
The trade up for Pearce Jr. has been scrutinized in league circles, but Atlanta believes it has a player who fits into "the top bucket."

The Falcons have seven Jrs., three IIIs (all in the defensive backfield) and a V on their 91-man roster. Anyway, good morning.
The Falcons have signed 11 UDFAs: DL S. Barrow, Miami CB Cobee Bryant, Kansas RB N. Carter, Michigan St OL J. Gray, Oregon St LB N. Kubitz, N.D. State CB D. Manning, Oregon WR Nick Nash, San Jose St. TE J. Simon, So.Carolina WR Q. Skinner Jr., Vandy LB M. Verdon, Iowa St OL J. Williams, Ga. Tech

The Falcons locker room won't smell the same with Grady Jarrett gone. Let me explain. www.nytimes.com/athletic/619...
Why the Falcons released Grady Jarrett and how it will affect the locker room
Releasing Jarrett had to sting for Falcons owner Arthur Blank. The veteran was the face of the defense and locker room leader in Atlanta.

Wouldn't think adding Pickett takes Cleveland out of a possible Cousins' acquisition.
