Summary
Host Ian Hartitz welcomes on Senior Writer at For The Win Charles McDonald aka @FourVerts in part seven of the PFF Fantasy Football Podcast 32 for 32 series. The guys start off by going through the Falcons’ need for a running back along with help in the secondary and on the defensive line. They realize quickly just how hamstrung this team is against the cap at the moment and briefly converse about why the NFL has a salary cap in the first place. Conversation continues with a look at whether or not Matt Ryan will continue to be the team’s starter over the next few seasons, and Charles believes their decision with pick No. 4 will tell us all we need to know about Ryan’s future. The guys finish things off by wondering if the end is near for Julio Jones, whether or not the offense should actively try to add another receiver, and which high-priced defenders could be cap casualties.

| 0:00.0 | I'm going to welcome the PFF Fancy football podcast. I'm the host Ian Hurtson today. We're |
| 0:12.8 | continuing our 32 for 32 series with a look at the Atlanta Falcons, New Head Coach |
| 0:17.1 | and Town Arthur Smith, same old guys Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Look, has not been the |
| 0:21.7 | best time to be a Falcons fan really for the past 20 plus years. You could even go further |
| 0:25.9 | if you really wanted to. But perhaps things are looking up. I have a very special guest |
| 0:29.7 | to help me try to figure out what they need to do to get back into 2016 form. That is |
| 0:34.6 | none other than senior writer at For the When Falcons Die Hard grew up loving the team. |
| 0:38.9 | Charles McDonald, you know, I'm on Twitter as at Forverse truly one of the best accounts |
| 0:43.2 | on the old Twitter sphere of Charles. Thanks for making the time and happy off season, |
| 0:46.6 | man. |
| 0:47.6 | Yeah, thanks. We're almost here. It's the off season. It's been a long, long season and |
| 0:51.9 | I'm ready to take a quick break before we dive back into three A.C. and drafts off. |
| 0:56.2 | Thanks, Stephanie. That's right, man. It is almost here. We're recording this on February |
| 0:59.6 | 3rd. So still got the Super Bowl coming, but trying to get ahead of things and getting |
| 1:03.8 | to this off season. So per usual, we're going to be going through the three team needs, |
| 1:07.2 | go through a quick cut, feel around, mind this, shoot some questions at Charles. Hopefully |
| 1:10.4 | you can put us in. No, Sir, Dom has had on, give me his best guest for what could be |
| 1:13.3 | coming forward and we get a quick off season bowl prediction before we get on our way. |
| 1:17.0 | So without further ado, Charles, what do you think are the top three team needs for the |
| 1:20.7 | Falcons ahead this off season? |
| 1:22.2 | Well, like every year, it seems they definitely need more juice on the edge. Dante Fowler, |
