The New Look Falcons with OC Tommy Rees | Schrager Hour

In the wake of the Aaron Donald signing, Peter starts the pod with discussion of the Rams and their Super Bowl hype and why that's always a red flag this time of year. He, then, does a deep dive on the Seahawks and how they are the defending champions and are actually being overlooked. Mike Macdonald's obsession with the "America's Game" series and the wild Daejon Love story lead into Peter's dipping of his toes in the flag football coaching waters last weekend. Tommy Rees, the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, joins the pod to take Peter through the 2026 Atlanta Falcons and their dedication to details this summer. Rees takes us through his coaching journey, going from player to coach, and from the college game to the NFL. He shares stories on Matt Ryan, Nick Saban, and Bijan Robinson. Then, Peter brings one of his oldest friends on the podcast to discuss his theory behind why the NFL could and should consider an NFL Draft Lottery after this season.
