we definitely need to be on it with our o-line, but I think Kirk isn't gonna be too messed up during the season, he's had almost a year to heal, that's a pretty good amount of time, and he isn't the most mobile qb anyways... so I hope he's healthy this season.
@@mainalex839 Kirk doesn't get enough credit for his mobility/athleticism. Over the 3-4 seasons, Kirk has had the same number of first downs and rushing yards as Rodgers. And no one would call Rodgers as not being very mobile.
My biggest worry is the offensive line.......now hear me out. The past two years, we've ranked in the top 10 for OL, based on an absolutely incredible run game. But, pass-pro has not been good for a long time. Even 2 years ago (2021 season), our O-Line was ranked 27th with almost the identical starters (hopefully better now without the revolving door at LG). We're back to a pocket passer, and I sure hope our boys can hold up.
Elite QB Kirk plays same as Burrow in regular season and playoffs. #4 Offensive Line best Offensive Line Kirk has ever had. Legit #1 players at WR TE RB CB DT FS plus solid players CB SS DE DT. An OC who uses the type of offense Kirk likes plus Kirk also is a gameplanner at QB. Not sure about the DC and what input Raheem will have. 4 high day 1 and 2 picks. Terry has a solid record in 1st round and later picks. Owner who wants to win. Oddsmakers have made ATL #6 in NFC behind SF DET DAL PHI GB and #9 in NFL at 10.5 wins.
Troy Anderson is a fantastic linebacker so they will mainly focus on drafting a secondary in the draft after they get a first round edge. Another safety to pair with Bates and a corner to pair with Terrell and the falcons d is going to be sick.
Actually our 2 and 3 CB is better than Anderson is as players right now. He forgot to mention are 2nd best CB in Dee Alford who for 2 years now has finished 70 or better on PFF and most falcon fans love watching him play. Phillips as of right now probably ahead of Anderson as well on what both have showed on the field so far. Anderson does have a ton of upside though so im not knocking on him as a player he just isn't there mentally yet and the injury hurt him in gaining more experience for that. He also forgot our best pass rusher last year in Arnold Ebeketie who as of right now would be our #2 edge rusher to whoever they draft. Hopefully Latu or Verse over Turner they are both much more refined and ready to go than turner is coming out. Turner is around the vic Beasley type of player right now where as Latu is more like a Watt, Bosa, or Hendrickson he has elite technique coming out like them. Verse is probably like a Khalil Mack to me who is a best of both worlds but maybe not as skilled as Latu yet. But probably better run defender than latu day 1. Im super pissed we once again missed on a top tier edge because our front office is to damn cheap. We have miffed on Sweat, Hunter, Burns, and Reddick so far because they refuse to give just that little extra to get the deal done.
@@GP-wu1eu He has potential i seen some splash plays here and there that shows his upside. He was starting to improve before his injury. But our 2 starting linebackers right now are really good in Ellis and Landman. Anderson behind both of those guys has time to improve now and not rush it and hopefully he can reach his potential and become a top tier lb as well to match his altheticism.
Beware the Rankin Smith curse. The team finishes from the bottom to middle of the pack then back again. Just look at the Super Bowl. And shanahan had the sense to escape. -from a falcons watcher since 66
The defense shut a lot of teams last season. They were just on the field twice as often because of the offense turning the ball over. We had a good rotation on the d line before the injuries.
@@TrillVilla5 it’s going to be a lot more of the same this season yeah cousins is a upgrade but look what we had so that’s not hard to do and i think cousins is going to Pressured out the pocket which would lead to a sack’s because he can’t extend plays with his legs
Defense win’s championships. Always and forever. Birds already were good on D last year. If the O can stay on the field longer, score another TD or 2 per game, and with these D additions, we’re going to be Ok.
@@mainalex839 they hyped us up last season saying we would be top of our division. its clear that kirk is a upgrade but he is a pocket passer. our pass protection was below avg last season. so unless he can still pull out big games getting sacked 2+ times a game on avg then we aint no contenders
@@drew388 exactly and people act like he’s just going to be able to sit in the pocket all day he’s going to have to make plays with his legs and we know that’s not going to happen so we might lose a lot of close games because he can’t run and if cousins can’t win this upcoming season that would be it for me because what we see from him this season is what we going to get I don’t see him leveling his play up at this point I don’t see how u make sense of this if we only win one or two more games from last season and our schedule is harder this year to be honest maybe if we had cousins last season with that schedule we had then yeah we Possibly make the playoffs but I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens
Definitely were hyped to win last season lol I continuously had to tell falcons fans ridder sucks and they wouldn’t even be second place lmao they all said I was hating and I don’t know football because “ridder got better every game” during the limited time he played the season before. Safe to say I was right
If the falcons don’t draft a QB this year, Shadeur Sanders will be a falcon next year…. Heinicke just restructured for QB2 this year so that tells me one thing…. QB in the draft isn’t a target. If you don’t believe go check out the exchange between Shadeur and Arthur Blank on Well Off Media that follows Prime. Blank himself states it would’ve been nice if you came out the draft this year…
I’d rather have Penix than Shedeur I think. Must say though, Shedeur is tough as they come. His OL was a wet paper bag once they got into the heavies of the PAC, getting shellacked ever game, taking dozens of sacks and hit. Great athlete and a winner. Just not a fan of a few things. Hopefully Prime has taught him to stay in the game and not on IG. It’s a weird NIL world out there now.
Yessss I praying this happens!! It would be a movieee!!! City would be so litt!! This is the best plan of action to have our next franchise QB for years to come!
@@lgstack2496Kirk's contract is basically front loaded they can cut him after year 2 of his deal, them drafting a QB from this draft will not hurt and will beneficial for said rookie QB to sit behind Kirk for 2 years and learn especially a QB like Penix Jr.
You said the key word, Kirk cousins does not run the ball that's what's going to kill my dirty birds 😔😔😔😱😱😱,, this is not the 70s and 80s quarterbacks are mobile now. Kirk cousins is nothing but a cheerleader he's not going to run the ball when we really need it pocket quarterback is out nowadays and we all know this. So when Kirk cousin doesn't run the ball for all you Kirk cousin lovers and cost us the game don't get mad😂😂. We should have brought Justin Fields here 35 years old and still trying to run I doubt it. Go dirty birds love my falcons rise up, grit blitz defense 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🙂. KING G 🏈😎. ALL THAT MONEY FOR 4 YEARS AND HE WON'T LAST THAT LONG AT 35 YEARS OLD😮😮😮.
I disagree with you a little bit. I’m not a Kirk Cousins lover. I really wish we could draft Penix but I don’t think that would make the most sense (we gotta draft edge in the first round). But Cousins being a pocket passer only will make Bijan even more dangerous in the check down game. I think that will be a huge part of our offense and I think it will work cause he can make defenders miss and turn those short throws into big gains. And Kirk will still be able to hit our new faster receivers with accuracy on the deep balls.
They didn't change QBs almost every week. TH started 3 games. Two back to back after Ridder entered the concussion protocol against Tenn. Ridder took back over after 2 weeks. He was then benched and Heinieke started one game. Then Ridder started the last game because Heinicke was hurt the week before. That's 4 changes with two due to injury. Definitely not coming back to this channel. Also read the other comments. You missed A LOT.
Watch how many ppl all of a sudden start playing with the Falcons on madden
They’ve already started on madden 24 on MUT we got like one of the best theme teams in the game
Our offense depends on how good the O-line holds up. Opening holes for the RB's and protecting our injured immobile QB.
we definitely need to be on it with our o-line, but I think Kirk isn't gonna be too messed up during the season, he's had almost a year to heal, that's a pretty good amount of time, and he isn't the most mobile qb anyways... so I hope he's healthy this season.
100%
Cousins is Matt Ryan 2.0, which makes me sick since they treated Ryan horribly, but like Ryan, if cousins has protection, he’ll carve you up.
@@mainalex839 Kirk doesn't get enough credit for his mobility/athleticism. Over the 3-4 seasons, Kirk has had the same number of first downs and rushing yards as Rodgers. And no one would call Rodgers as not being very mobile.
Our offensive line is very good
Love Kirk Cousins. Excellent quarterback. No drama; class act.
Rise Up! Looking forward to what ATL brings later this year.
You forgot Dee Alford as a cornerback and Hellams....... Yeah we gon be straight
3rd place again
Hellams is gonna be nice
Straight Beast Mode Alford and Helms they conditioned Alford so he's one of our Gems😊
@@Kevo-ww6vw win the division this year, terrible division and ATL is the best team
i still question why they benched him for hughes when dee was clearly better
I’m excited but scared because we have no o line depth. One injury and we’re in some shit
I would love if they somehow got Mims in the draft.
You missed troy Anderson in the lb group
He’s not very good bro, he’s a good athlete though. Landman is much better
@@GP-wu1eucap
Nate can't cover nobody 😂I still think he nice doe

Yes. That just goes to show how much talent they have.
Good job

Should be a fun season. I’d like to see us build up the defense, we’re going to have to score 28-30 points a game.
No we’re not 🥱🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾♂️🎯

It’s like y’all don’t get it; the main issue with this team was QB play.

That’s crazy. Coming off an Achilles injury. $180 million huh? Sounds ridiculous to me.
Ppl don’t understand how loaded the falcons are on both sides of the ball. I’m not arguing with mfs anymore.

Lmao keep sniffing
Falcon falcons let go ATL
None of this works until we adopt a winners attitude

Thank goodness the Falcons didn’t get talked into trading for that want to be NFL QB failure Justin Fields!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cousins has 1 playoff win in 12 years. He is not the answer.
