Falcons fire defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake, assistant Jay Rodgers following defense's poor finish

The Atlanta Falcons have fired defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake and defensive line coach Jay Rodgers following first-year coach Raheem Morris’ sharp criticism of his defense
JANUARY 11, 2025 • Associated Press
Disappointing 2024 campaign Judon finished the 2024 season with 41 total tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed, including an interception, over 17 games.
Impact Judon was traded to the Falcons in August after three seasons with the Patriots, ultimately appearing in all 17 contests with Atlanta. The linebacker was unable to replicate his production from his time in New England though, securing just 5.5 sacks with the Falcons after compiling 32.0 sacks over 38 games with the Patriots. However, Judon did snatch his first career interception in Week 16 versus the Giants, returning it for a touchdown. The 32-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and he'll likely have many suitors interested in signing him.

Productive in loss Judon recorded four total tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday night's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders.
Impact Judon has been a key contributor to Atlanta's defensive success in his first season as a Falcon, recording 39 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and one pick-six while appearing in all 16 of the team's regular-season games thus far. However, his sack total has decreased substantially in 2024, compared to the 15.5 and 12.5 sacks tallied in his last two full seasons in the NFL. He'll aim to wreak havoc and disrupt Bryce Young when the Panthers visit Atlanta in Week 18.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • SI.COM
Set for Sunday Judon (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Impact Judon has been dealing with a hamstring issue off and on and played through the injury in Week 4. After logging a limited session Wednesday, the Grand Valley State product was able to log a full session Thursday, signifying he'll suit up Sunday against the Panthers.

Dealing with hamstring issue Judon (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Judon appears to have aggravated his hamstring issue during the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Buccaneers. However, the veteran edge rusher was still able to record two total tackles and one pass defended across 31 defensive snaps. Judon is expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers unless he downgrades to no participation either Thursday or Friday.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ATLANTAFALCONS.COM
Cleared to play Week 4 Judon (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play.
Impact Judon was limited in practice early in the week but is good to go for a big divisional tilt. The 32-year-old has logged 15 tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three QB hits in his first three games with the Falcons following his summer acquisition from New England.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Added to injury report Judon (hamstring) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Impact Judon was a full participant Wednesday, so he may have suffered the injury during practice. Although the late addition to the injury report isn't the best news, he'll have a chance to ramp up his activity Friday and still has a couple of days to heal up ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints.

Records sack in win Judon finished with six tackles (three solo), including a sack, during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles.
Impact After recording 0.5 sacks in the season opener, Judon got his first solo sack in Week 2. The veteran was the only Falcon who got to Jalen Hurts in the backfield during Monday Night Football, which is precisely why Atlanta traded for Judon this offseason. In 2021 and 2022, Judon totaled 28 sacks for the Patriots, and he's currently on pace to reach double-digit sacks for the third time in his career.

Makes minor splash in debut Judon registered five tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Making his Falcons debut, Judon played 46 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps. He was quiet for most of the game, but on third-and-13 in the fourth quarter, Judon combined with Grady Jarrett to sack Justin Fields for an eight-yard loss. The Falcons' pass rush has been a major concern for years, and Judon is expected to remedy that. However, he's still learning a new system, so he may not see enough pass-rushing snaps to generate strong IDP value for a few weeks.
