Tanitra BatisteHOST
But real quick, I want to ask you guys about a D lineman signing for the Falcons this week.
Tanitra BatisteHOST
D lineman Zach Pickens to the practice squad released D lineman Carlos Allen Jr. in a corresponding move, did the Falcons.
Tanitra BatisteHOST
So Jarvis, what does that move mean for you in terms of the matchup against the Steelers?
Jarvis DavisPANELIST
To me, it just means that you're trying to get more depth of the middle and not necessarily more depth because, you know, Carlos Allen was, you know, a solid depth piece.
Kevin KnightHOST
Mostly I want to talk about the defensive guys they kept because Zach Harrison is back, which is a shocker to me.
Kevin KnightHOST
They also kept Carlos Allen Jr., who was a really nice UDFA, really surprising pickup.
Kevin KnightHOST
Darnay Holmes is here if they need someone to fill in in the slot, you know, if anything happens to the starters.
Kevin KnightHOST
Jimmy Robinson, good special teamer, versatile player.
Aaron FreemanHOST
So today was the day when teams can start establishing their 16-man practice squad spots, and the Falcons filled 15 of those spots with players that the Falcons just cut yesterday.
Aaron FreemanHOST
Those include running backs Tyler Goodson and Cash Jones, wide receivers Vinny Anthony, Dylan Drummond, and Juice Wells, tight ends Nick Muse and Jack Velling, Offensive tackle Riley Maulman, guard Cam Dewberry, center James Brockermeyer, defensive tackle Carlos Allen, edge rusher Cam Sample, linebacker Josh Woods, and cornerbacks Kobe Bryant and Darnay Holmes.
Aaron FreemanHOST
So when we look at that 15-player list, No real surprises there.
Aaron FreemanHOST
You know, guys like Woods and Holmes and Mews and Goodson were all guys that I thought were going to make the Falcons 53 man roster when we got to final cuts.
8 MINS LATER
Aaron FreemanHOST
We'll see.
Aaron FreemanHOST
We'll see how that goes for Kobe Bryant.
Aaron FreemanHOST
Happy to see Carlos Allen make it.
Aaron FreemanHOST
Of all these undrafted free agents, him and Jack Velling were probably the two guys that, to me, put the best film out this summer in the preseason games consistently.
DJ ShockleyHOST
You know, guys like Cam Dubé playing offensive line.
DJ ShockleyHOST
Carlos Allen Jr., another guy.
DJ ShockleyHOST
I mean, it was so many guys you look at and say, man – These guys really fit the mold.
DJ ShockleyHOST
And we heard Coach Stefanski say after the game, I want
Dave ArcherHOST
We're talking about Dewberry, Malman, Brockermeyer.
Dave ArcherHOST
Those guys could potentially be the era parents to jobs up front as we get a little longer in the tooth down the road a few years.
Dave ArcherHOST
And you guys know what I think about Carlos Allen.
Dave ArcherHOST
I've talked about Carlos Allen, local product, Douglas High School.
Coy WireGUEST
So those are, I think were my biggest surprises.
Coy WireGUEST
And yeah, I really loved Carlos Allen Jr.
Coy WireGUEST
I thought he played really well, you know, the local kid here as an undrafted guy as well.
Coy WireGUEST
But then they went and they were able to trade for our new Bears defensive tackle.
Kevin KnightHOST
Um, I think I, I would, I, I wouldn't be shocked if he does make the roster or if they shuffle some, shuffle him on in some way.
Kevin KnightHOST
Um, I think both of these defensive tackles, Chris Williams and Carlos Allen Jr., both played well enough to make the roster.
Kevin KnightHOST
But it's just tight with, with, I think Jack Strand kind of just dominates this conversation, right? That, like, they have to find space for him, and that position group is kind of where they maybe made the cut to get it done.
Kevin KnightHOST
Um, but both of those guys, I think, are, are really, uh, good to have, good depth.
Will McFaddenHOST
So I think he has had just an outstanding camp.
Will McFaddenHOST
Somebody else whose presence was felt in Indianapolis was Carlos Allen Jr.
Will McFaddenHOST
The kind of reserve defensive line battle is always, I think, competitive.
Will McFaddenHOST
But this year it feels as competitive as ever.
Will McFaddenHOST
There's a lot of guys, especially considering the number of players who didn't play in the second preseason game, there are players who were in that game who played very well who were fighting for this roster spot and I think it's going to be a hard hard cut down Carlos Allen like how do you think he's stacking up in this depth conversation are there other guys in that mix for you
Tori McElhaneyHOST
yeah I think that he's he's up there he's he's a part of that that defensive line group that I even as I'm looking at like oh who I you know the exercise of looking at my own 53 man roster and kind of projecting in my own brain what it could look like come Sunday, it's like Carlos Allen Jr. is someone who I just keep trying to find ways to put him on the 53-man roster because I would worry that someone would pick him up if he goes to waivers.
Tori McElhaneyHOST
There are all these things that you have to think about in terms of the roster cut down weekend.
Tori McElhaneyHOST
So he's somebody, Keyshawn Banks, who I think we've seen flash in there in the preseason.
Kevin KnightHOST
Um, so I, I, uh, I think we, we, we, we have found something here.
Kevin KnightHOST
And, um, speaking of finding stuff, uh, wanted to shout out a couple other UDFAs from this game, the first one being Car- Carlos Allen Jr.
Kevin KnightHOST
No idea who this guy was coming in, not someone I had scouted in any shape or form.
Kevin KnightHOST
Was basically an afterthought to me.
Tre'Shon DiazHOST
It, it usually comes down to personal preference at that point when you're scouting guys.
Tre'Shon DiazHOST
But I wouldn't say talent-wise that the gap is massive.
Tre'Shon DiazHOST
And so to hear that Carlos Allen Jr. has been able to step in and, uh, kind of, uh, take over, you know, some of those, uh, reps and opportunities that could've been going to, you know, another guy from his rookie class is great.
Tre'Shon DiazHOST
Uh, Nate Ali, uh, this guy knows what he's looking at, Kevin.
Joe PatrickHOST
He was in this group.
Joe PatrickHOST
Devontae Maxwell, Carlos Allen Jr., Cam Sample, those are four down linemen.
Joe PatrickHOST
Then you've got De'Varon Rayner and Channing Tindall at linebacker and Aziz Ojolari at linebacker.
Joe PatrickHOST
And then in the defensive backfield, A.J. Woods, Kobe Bryant, jamie robinson and malcolm dewalt so you know those are i would say all those names are um kind of in that discussion that falcons fans have been having about you know who's going to make or not make the the team and we're gonna do i'm gonna go more into detail in an episode in a couple days talking kind of going through my basically my predictions and then we'll we'll see what happens uh and then on the offensive side of the football it was jack strand playing quarterback he threw an interception, a bad interception to Kedron Smith in this period.
Aaron FreemanHOST
Chris Williams is on the bubble.
Aaron FreemanHOST
And then I have Carlos Allen and De'Vante Maxwell as very sneaky.
Aaron FreemanHOST
Uh, I do think Williams is very likely to make it, but I do think Allen and Maxwell have shown enough that I wouldn't be shocked if they, you know, leapfrogged him or snuck on the roster over him, right? I would sit here and say again if I was putting a number on it, Chris Williams probably in that 67% range of making the 53-man roster.
Aaron FreemanHOST
But I thought Allen played really well against the Colts and continued to flash, uh, after a strong week of practice.
