This guy mentions kirk being a 36 year old with a bad Achilles, but says he still doesn't understand the Penix jr pick. Smh.🤦 Don't know if they're playing dumb, just to pick on the falcons, or they really are?
They not playing dumb they are dumb
I don’t think they are just playing dumb.. they are the real deal
It’s like folks just want to follow a narrative no matter what…. Zero common sense
The dumb thing about it was to overpay somebody like Kirk who is old and then draft the oldest qb in the class that also has injury problems. Penix easily has the best arm imo but he’s a statue in the pocket he’s not good under pressure he reminds me a lot of tua. We’ll see it’s just dumb in the since that they could’ve got a really good defensive player
My question is if the plan is Michael Penix jr than why sign Kirk cousins ? You could of gotten a guy like jacoby brisset let Penix sit or start and start to build the team around him with all that money y’all gave to Kirk
All these clowns do is gaslight the Falcons
They give anybody with a 50 inch waste line a podcast looks like
These are really lazy takes 🤦🏾♂️
These 2 dudes DO NOT what the hell their talking about full stop. Vegas thinks the Falcons have the 4th best odds of making the playoffs. Clowns 🤡
Agreed and coaching makes huge difference. The Vikings had a 31st ranked defense in 2022. The DC got fired. Flores had the same players and the next season, the defense was ranked 16th overall.
@@Paula-mv8imlol not really. They cut Eric Kendricks and actually had a very underrated draft. There was similar players. Also alot of different players. These two are saying the Falcons are basically trying to do two things at once that just doesn't add up. Yes signing cousins is an immediate upgrade over last year. Why waste a top 10 pick on the same position you just paid a ton of salary cap on. Makes zero sense. You do realize the Vikings tried to draft a QB high last year and Kirk had an issue with it. He didn't want Kyle Slotter there either. And when the Vikings said they were trying to draft a QB this year he basically said peace out. He doesn't like competition. You do realize Sean Mannion was his backup the majority of the time in Minnesota lol. Definitely not a great situation for the Falcons no matter how you look at it.
This was very disrespectful
this is a video that waisted my time. These two need to stop posting videos asap/
The pundits still mad , go Falcons
We'll see won't we fellas? And TRUST we will revisit your comments.......😊
The defense is ranked 11th sweetie
They did no home work just on here bumping they gums..
Everybody talking bout falcons should’ve taken an edge rusher but no edge rusher went in the top ten. Ponder on that.
I came back to just to look at the comments 😂 cause I knew that everybody was going to chew yall guys out. We was only terrible with the pass rush and generating turnovers and still was rank 11 on defense. We was in Majority of the games that we lost and that was due to bad play calling and bad play with the Qb. If you can’t decipher that then maybe yall in the wrong field
Love how united the comments are lol. When it all works out they’ll call us geniuses. Go figure
Was a top 5 defense before Graddy Jarrett down. Then in the last 5 games there was only like 1 start playing because of all the injuries. But I'm sure you guys don't follow the team closely to know that. What's the lottery numbers going to be this weekend since you are clairvoyant to know every injury for every team and how every player will play.
The willful ignorance continues. Cool, the Falcons should've drafted someone other Penix at #8. Who? And what difference are you projecting that player to make from where you originally thought the team would finish? Also when Kirk's contract is up in 2 years, which is what it essentially is, what should the Falcons do for QB beyond that? At least be willing to answer those questions if you are going to put on the dumbfounded act.
Y’all boys some real haters wym falcon not supposed to have long term plans lol
Falcon's Defense finished top 10 last year.
The team's biggest problem was QB play.
When Grady went down it left a big hole on DL so now we drafted 3-4 players
We added more Offensive power. Our OLine played well
also the drafted didn't have any defense players drafted top 10.
All we need to do is add a CB
They probably would have won 10 games last season with even an average starting NFL QB.
Bruh shut up you pick 6 more defensive players after the first round yall just want to hear yall self talk
You have to be a falcons fan to understand why they drafted a QB.
Charles McDonald sounds like he spends more time eating cheeseburgers than watching football.
we had top 11 defense last year. not sure why you think thats a bad thing. not to mention a good offense that can stay on the field longer will also make the defense better also.
Coaching matters, too.
Was looking for any falcons news and found this "waste of time " video. Brady is noncomparable and what Tampa did you can substitute brady for 30 other qbs and their was good chance they don't win it all.
Second point is they stated the defence took a step back unless expecting our 2nd round pick to be impactful can be said about any defensive player we could have drafted in first. Example Turner he would be drafted to be what the savior of our defence is not likely to happen.
Right, but here's the thing about your second point, Turner was the media "consensus pick", maybe even Latu. And these guys are part of the consensus. Rather than do an objective view of why the team went against their thought process, they've all gotten passive aggressive in attacking the team because they dared to go against the media consensus.
We don’t get Penix, Kurt gets hurt week 2. You guys “talk” about how dumb it was to sign Kirk.
These guys are upset because their team didn’t get the opportunity to draft Michael Penix Junior
Glad these guys aren’t running the team
OK if the offense got better that doesn't make the defense better it is a TEAM game last year defense stayed on the field too long do you guys understand football?
Yep. They don’t know basic football principles. I don’t know if they were born this stupid or if they took lessons?
Trice is better than Dallas Turner
Is He Gaslighting Or Are These Takes Just Lazy And Simple Minded 😂😂
They upgraded at the most important position but u dont see how much better they got lmao
I'm just here for the comments. I knew 30 seconds in this would be nothing but bad takes. So I stopped the video
Fan pride isn’t the only kind of pride you have
Let me help you guys out. They took Penix to keep his form the saints and having to play him for the next 10 years.
We don’t have time with a 36 year old Quarterback but then criticize the Pennix move🤡
We should have went all in the the Buc's? What did the Buc's accomplish? A single playoff victory. Cousin is a sufficient enough move for a single playoff victory. Penix Jr. will be the best pick in Franchise history.
Manne we won against GB and Texans. Both good team with a healthy offense. Rank #11 but we overrated
Kirk's "bad Achilles" was looking pretty good when he was doing 7 step drop back and throwing bombs at only 4 months after his surgery...Besides that, he takes care of his body better than Brady. Kirk gonna be fine. He's aging like a fine wine.
Y’all watch clips, highlights, and look at final scores. Neither of you are qualified to speak on Falcons football. Stop with the watered down half AS$ takes that coincide with the narrative that the national media created. It’s thoughtless, lazy, and real football fans will always call you out on your BS💩
👏👏👏 well said
The whole world bout to be at our knees watch,we gonna enjoy too🤦🏾♂️🤣
So I have two guys that all they bring is opinions, never coached a team. At least see how they are going do.
strongly disagree. i mean ifk how pep dont remamber the qb coussions has been the past few years. he can and will win games for them no question
The Falcons pick of Penix actually when looking at the thought process wasn't bad at all. Cousins has about two seasons in him and it actually takes a young qb 3-5 years to develop into a pro with some exceptions but those are very few.
I didn't like getting rid of Ridder because if Cousins isn't ready to play then we would have a young qb in there with some experience from the prior year Penix may be force into the lineup faster than expected and that's a bad move.
Kirk is not a normal 35 year old. Kirk takes care of his body better than Brady. There are all sorts of things that he does to stay healthy which is why he had never missed a game to injury in 12 seasons. He'll be playing for a lot longer than 2 years.
Some cool things that he does.....#1 he changed his diet to be more like Brady and then modified it to so it was the best fit for him.
#2 Since college, he has had a year-round fitness regimen that focuses on flexibility and agility and prioritizes lengthening his muscles rather than bulking up as quarterback’s muscles must be long and elastic. He also trains for all three planes of motion in his body: the sagittal plane, frontal plane and transverse plane. The goal is to build strength, stability, power, endurance and mobility in each, all of which are taxed by the quarterback position.
#3 He also has a hyperbaric chamber and a #4 full-time body coach (like Mahomes has). #5 he had stem cell therapy at the beginning of the year.
And the only reason that Kirk even tore his Achilles was that he wore the longer spikes for the first time in his 12 year career and said that his cleat got stuck in the ground. The Vikings slipped on the turf the year before at Lambeau and the whole team decided that they needed to wear them for the next Packer game.
I know they ain’t trying to judge nothing especially the first dude😂
😭😭😭😂 We gone see Sept 8th I’ll be back
You two guys don't know what the he'll your talking about. And Dallas turner isn't an instant impact player. So seriously shut up
Literally just hating on the team to compare the falcons to the Bucs who didn’t do much in the offseason and didn’t do that well last season is laughable. There’s no hard facts to back up anything just opinions.
how is a top 10 defense overrated?
What’s funny is. This guy has a take on not liking the Penix pick. And then gave a reason to why Penix is a good pick. And didn’t even know he did it. Lol. Saying you don’t have a lot of time with cousins because he’s 36 with a bad Achilles. But you want them to only have that on the roster lol we all believe cousins can play great if he’s healthy but we all know he’s hurt & it’s possible he’s still not fully healthy & also know he’s 36 & can be on the downside of his career so why only take the chance on cousins when there’s 2 possible chances things can go wrong. To 1 thing going right for cousins. I do believe either a really good pass rusher or Cornerback will really help this defense & there’s a great CB on free agent right now. But everything else is perfect defensively for cousins. With London, Moody, Pitts, Bijan, Allgeier, that’s a lot of help for a good QB
Mf get a microphone and swear they know sports 😂😂
I see then going 6-10
Rob and Big need to stop with the sports takes 😂
So you're saying you don't know how the falcons are that much better look at their quarterback are you serious sorry I got to turn off the video that statement made no sense... It doesn't even matter after that.
😂 well ok sounds like a falcons hater
So Green Bay, Houston and Detroit are crap offenses?
Saints winning the South. WHO DAT
This is the worst podcast I see why they doesn't get views 😅😅
I do not understand when people say "The Falcons think that they're Super Bowl contenders."
The Falcons clearly do not think that, as evident by them not only selecting a QB for the future but outright telling everyone "we're drafting for the future".
I'm sure the coaches and General Manager will tell everyone "we think we're a Super Bowl contender", but that's to be expected. Even the worst teams want to paint a rosey outlook for their fans.
FYI: Vegas thinks Kirk can win a championship. After the news broke that Kirk was signing with the Falcons, Sportsbooks moved the Falcons to 30/1 to win Super Bowl 2025 after opening at 50/1 prior. Atlanta now has the 12th-best odds to win the Lombardi Trophy. The Falcons are also 14/1 to win the NFC Championship on BetMGM Sportsbook, the sixth-best odds.
@@Paula-mv8im He absolutely helps, but 30-1 odds isn't exactly beaming with optimism. 😂
And this ladies and gentlemen is why they are in broadcasting 👎🏿🤫 RISEUP
First and last watch. Yahoo lmao
LOL
The worst take I’ve heard.
The problem is the uniforms? Lmao this content is 🗑️
Trash take with no research. Time will prove these guys know nothing about football.
Who is you
