Prime time fit

My mother, a recent empty-nester now that my little sister has gone to college: "Oh, you definitely won't have to worry about me. I will be so busy." My mother, two months later: "Boo"

Defense put on a show for @SNFonNBC 😈

Jake Matthews (ankle) isn’t out here which isn’t a surprise.

Darnell Mooney out here in gray sweats instead of shorts as Falcons prep for practice.

#Falcons WR Darnell Mooney is at practice today. He was estimated to be limited yesterday.

Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich: "They are banged up a bit but, especially with (Kendrick) Bourne coming on, it feels like they are full strength from an offensive perspective. They are going to be a huge challenge."

Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. "I was Bijan in Little League but he’s doing Little League stuff in the NFL. It’s crazy."

We're so used to the Falcons drafting high-upside DTs who don't really pan out--think Marlon Davidson, Peria Jerry, Ra'Shede Hageman, Deadrin Senat--that I think Ruke was quickly dismissed last year by a large chunk of the fanbase. Thought he'd be different, glad to see he is

Most tackles avoided this season (PFF): QB: Baker Mayfield (14) RB: Bijan Robinson (39) WR: Deebo Samuel (14) TE: Harold Fannin (15)

According to Next Gen Stats, the 49ers' offense leads NFL in in-breaking target rate (42.3%). Divine Deablo should be a factor on Sunday night for the Falcons' defense as a coverage player. I'd also expect some safety rotations into robber.

The Falcons pass rush is completely revitalized 💥 Reminder: They have only played 5 games this year 🤯

With America watching on Monday night We showed what we were about

"We're hoping to get Mooney back here soon," #Falcons OC Zac Robinson said.

Falcons OC Zac Robinson says the team will be mindful of keeping RB Bijan Robinson fresh throughout the season as they continue to go along, but they obviously want to keep him involved as much as possible.

Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich says Bijan Robinson provides great preparation for facing Christian McCaffrey because of how similarly gifted they are. "There's no doubt. What we saw in training camp is hard to replicate."

Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich on facing 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey: "It's going to be a great challenge for everybody ... and we're going to have to play our best football to keep up with him."

Atlanta DC Jeff Ulbrich said the Kyle Shanahan he'll face Sunday doesn't feel much like the same guy he shared a staff with in Atlanta. "In a lot of ways the system is almost nothing like it was here," Ulbrich said.

“I think we finally collectively understand what it takes to play the level of football that we want to play.” - #Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich.
