The Majesty of Atlanta Falcons Football

[VFL28]

Of all the choices, we end up with Raheem Morris??!! Oh boy.

Man . . . It's like I'm some kind of a see-er or something lol.

Still blows my mind how the front office let this happen. It had to be obvious by week 2 or training camp that Desmond Ritter wasn't that dude.

I agree with your take on the Falcons QB, but Pitts has been a spectacular bust in the NFL. He showed so much talent at Florida. It makes me think he’s likely got major personal issues that are undermining his potential.

 

[Vol423]

NFL Network showed owner Arthur Blank's press conference in which he said that the Falcons were going to be thorough in their next coaching search,

NFL Network analyst Leslie Vincent threw shade at the Falcons and said that they are never very transparent with potential head coaching candidates about whether they want an offensive or defensive minded head coach and Vincent said that he has interviewed in the past with McKay and Blank.

Fontenot might not have a big voice in this coaching search per NFL Network.

They conducted a very thorough search and ended up with the least exciting new head coach hire of the cycle.

 

[Vol423]

I DO NOT WANT BILL BELICHICK AS A POTENTIAL HEAD COACHING CANDIDATE if he is fired in New England.

That is a short term fix.

You’ll be wishing they had landed Belichick soon.

 

[Vol423]

Right now I would put ATL right up there with Seattle as best openings. If Philly or Dallas comes open then it's suddenly 3rd or 4th. However, I don't think Harbaugh would work for Jerry Jones.

The Chargers job is WAY better than the Falcons or Seahawks jobs.

Blank hires Raheem Morris as the new head coach and this is a solid hire.

Belichick probably gets a television job.

I predict the Falcons will be doing this again in 3-4 years.

Likely. Guaranteed if they don’t find a QB. I’d like to see them draft Penix which means they’ll draft a player I’ve never heard of in the first round. And they probably won’t get a decent FA either. They were lucky to win 7 this past season. They won’t next year if Ridder is starting again.

Morris will likely go after Cousins or Wilson as his QB1 and Ridder will be QB2.

Heinecke and Woodside are likely going to be free agents.

 

[Volfan1000]

Morris made good hires with Lake and Robinson as his defensive and offensive coordinators.

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Fairly obvious once Minn decided not to pay. Makes Falcons easily 10+ game winner. Especially in weakest division in NFL. Atlanta fans have to be happy after suffering through past 3 years since Matt Ryan left.

 

[Volfan1000]

Falcons trade QB Desmond Ridder to Cardinals for WR Rondale White.

This trade likely means that Atlanta is going to select a quarterback in the upcoming draft.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Falcons are making some awesome moves. Let's hope it pays off. Should have a heck of a offense.

I actually like the pick. Penix is a freak.

Right…freaking overrated and overdrafted.

Agreed. Wayyyy too high.

Way over drafted. We went chips in with Kirk. If that's the case you do all you can to win now with him. This does nothing to win now. We've been shat at pass rush for so long. Just a waste.

Yeah, Dallas Turner would have been a good pick.

 

[volfanhill]

Yeah, Dallas Turner would have been a good pick.

He was the obvious pick. I don't know what the hell the new staff is doing. Will they even be around to see him be the starter?
