	Description:		The marquee signing of the Atlanta Falcons’ 2023 offseason was adding former Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down exactly what makes Bates such a critical component of the Falcons’ hopes for a defensive turnaround. He looks at Bates’ ability to be a “guardian angel” as a deep centerfielder, which will lead to better, more aggressive play from the rest of the secondary, including fellow safety Richie Grant. He also discusses Grant’s skillset and why he should make strides in his third NFL season. He also discusses Jaylinn Hawkins’ fit as a third safety and rookie DeMarcco Hellams’ value as a run-defender and special teams contributor. He also discusses if former XFL safety Lukas Denis may have a pivotal role as a developmental backup down the road. Part of the @LockedOnATL Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
