How will Nate Landman's return impact the Atlanta Falcons defense?

Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons

Can Nate Landman's return from injured reserve improve the Atlanta Falcons' struggling run defense? Host Aaron Freeman and guest Tre'Shon Diaz ( @NMFalcons / @TheFalcoholicLive ) discuss how much the third-year linebacker can bolster that unit. Can the Falcons maximize Landman's impact by making him a full-time player or will his inability to get on the field in the nickel defense limit him?

Later, they discuss the quality of the Falcons defense through five games and other ways it can improve. Can reshuffling the team's defensive line rotation improve a struggling pass rush and third-down defense? Finally, they discuss the recent rise of the Falcons passing game and how much is attributed to Kirk Cousins' increased comfort in the offense versus offensive line injuries. Will the Falcons run game be restored upon the healthy return of center Drew Dalman or should they lean into Cousins' passing ability and the emergence of wide receiver Darnell Mooney?
