“If we can have him, nobody else can!”
-Falcons organization, probably
Oh I was seeing Raiders fans after the Brock Bowers pick commenting how they hate the Falcons with a passion for them taking Penix 😂
There trying to do what the packers do but so stupid
They screwed up the Raiders lol.
Is something wrong with Kirk Cousins? Like physically? That is the only way this makes sense.
@Arigator2 We haven't seen him play since that ACL tear, this could be a contingency plan if he's still not 100%. I'm not defending it just trying to find any kind of logic lol.
Arthur Smith had one final call to make; his annual 8th overall draft pick.
Now I'm starting to have doubts if Arthur Smith was really that awful with his decisions or if upstairs was forcing his hand
@@unc54 As a steelers fan, holy god i hope it's the latter.
Arthur and Matt Ryan and Marcus Mariota - are ALL - laughing their azz off... 😆 Another great job by that great GM Fontenot ! not !
That pick was so Arthur Smith.🤣
Now Penix can mentor the young Kirk Cousins. He's been through everything in his long career.
Kirk Cousin pissed at his team for not getting weapons for him
Aaron Rodgers - First Time?
They got weapons as soon as they signed him. I think they wanted Justin Fields but Steelers beat them to it tho. When they made all those off season WR acquisitions I pretty much knew they were gonna draft a QB still.
lol come on Kirk signing to falcons ain’t about winning. If it was about winning- he’d sign cheaper for better team
They had weapons before they signed him they just weren't being utilized, they need defense.
More like Kirk was deemed to have a ceiling and the future potential of Penix matters more.
Having an impact player in 2020 could have been the difference between Rodgers going to the SuperBowl instead of Brady. Instead they had Jordan Love riding the pine.
As a Saints fan who was at the Draft and witnessed this pick happen in person, that basically sums up my entire reaction lol.
Saints wanted Penix to 😮
@@LukeDaDrifter-lj2nh Now that would’ve been something lol.
Oh how fun
The screaming street has another occupant now
Go to the screaming street.... Thus Sayeth The Strouds
Screaming Street is gonna feature prominently this season. So many teams inches from laying down next to the Titans.
The Screaming Street is the opposite of the Heisman House (and Reggie Bush better be moved in this year)
Hi I’m here 😔
It's getting crowded ...
Screaming street gonna get a looooot of company before this is all over.
Indeed, my team took a firefighter instead of a cornerback.
The Street Screamers would be a fun name for a cover band, made up of NFL fans
@LateNightTableCo This is the best comment I've seen in some time.
Ik im going now
@@Foley02i still dont get the original comment tho....whats Screaming Street??
That screaming street is gonna be an 8 lane highway by the time the season ends
Traffic will be a huge problem
Or a city
@@clipobserver, just another day in Atlanta. Falcons do something stupid, and the traffic is slower than molasses.
God that Saints reaction is so accurate, this is a beautiful day.
The panthers got a first round pick 😆
Honestly as a Panthers fan this day went as well as it could have. Falcons screwed up so bad it took all the attention off of us and we traded back into the first with minimal cost and got a WR with high upside.
@@unc54He’s either gonna be AJ Metcalf or N’Keal Reagor
I’m calling it
Could have gone a lot worse, I was worried we were gonna try to take like the number 20 spot
@@unc54😂😂Not really. IMO, that just means the Falcons will still beat your team after Kirk Cousins retires. Because they still will have a legit QB who had time to develop instead of being thrown in the fire and looking horrible their rookie year.
@AssfaceOmega who is AJ Metcalf?
I’m used to the Falcons hurting me, it’s not new. But it’s crazy how they manage to cause me pain in such unique ways. Good job Falcons
Was a good pick for the future
@@Oxy404 Maybe, but it looks so stupid after we signed Kirk to a massive contract. Why draft a 24 year old to sit for at least 2 seasons? He’ll be at least 26 before he gets the starting job, if not older. Had we only signed Kirk and drafted someone else, that’s a good decision. Had we not signed Kirk and we drafted Penix, that’s a good decision. The choice to have 2 QB1s on the team when we want to push for playoff success is so stupid
@@coldramen_1nah its the smart way to go, sure fans blow up but look at jordan love, even mahomes sits a yr. Being 26 in the nfl is the new 22 for qbs, if your talented youll be able to play well into the 40s the way the nfl is setup now. A qb that gets time to learn under a really good qb is where its at, throwing them in 1st yr literally hardly ever works, plus if kirk gets injured which he does alot they have actual backup. Makes sense to me.
@@Oxy404 yep lots of fans dont understand how difficult being a startong nfl qb is. Basically all rookies should sit one if not two yrs, that time is crucial for development. If falcons think penix jr. Can be developed into a great qb then this was a smart decision.
If you love something, you'll find ways to get better at it.
It's a 4-year deal for Kirk. And rookie QBs. So he'll be off the rookie deal...when Cousins is.
Could they really not wait a year? I guess they didn't want to trade up later on, plus have him develop, but still.
Evidence that the Falcons don't expect Cousins to be there for four seasons.
Of course not, that’s why only his next two years are guaranteed.
@@burkereid6401so sign someone next year. ATL on their way to being a poverty franchise.
Hes there for 1 or 2. If his Achilles isn't just....done.
@thethumper088 next year you aren't picking at 8 to get a top qb bro
@@ga6257 If Cousins is bad, yes you are. The only way they got a "top" qb is if you believe that front office is actually smarter than 95% of the football world.
This man gave his whole heart and voice to a live first round draft cast, and still gave time to do a reaction video after that was hilarious. God bless you Tom. You amazing fool. Can't wait to donate to St. Jude's for Mr. Worldwide and your world tour next month. You're the goat
“We needed a quarterback and I still don’t understand that pick”
Yeah Broncos fans get Bo Nix.... Well as a UGA fan I have to call that one pretty strange as well...
At least the Broncos actually needed QB, didn't have a second round pick, and there was only one good QB left on the board. If the Broncos couldn't trade down, there was a historic run on QBs so it was now or never to take Nix. Even if it's a reach the pick still makes sense because I wouldn't want Zach Wilson or Jarrett Stidham starting for an entire season either.
The Falcons didn't need a QB, had a second round pick, and there were three good QBs on the board left. They took Penix who I think isn't as good of a prospect as McCarthy or Nix. If they really liked Penix that much they could've had him in the second round. Literally everybody knew the Vikings, Broncos, and Raiders wanted different QBs other than Penix. If the Falcons wanted the fifth year option they could've traded up to the end of the first round to take him there instead of their first pick. The Falcons royally screwed this one up in every conceivable way.
@@nathanlarson6535Plus if the falcons wanted to try and sit a prospect behind an experienced starter for a couple years, and don't get picks next year because of tampering, then they should've went with, oh, idk, ANY OF THE OTHER QBS WHO ARENT 24?
I'm so happy with the first round of the draft though. Terrion Arnold going that low was genuinely shocking I'm so happy we got him.
@@nathanlarson6535 I keep telling people Zach Wilson will replace Dak here in Dallas after next year
I keep bumping into Falcons fans who comment that this was a smart thing to do.
The saints fan reaction got me HAHAHAHA....
It is the reaction for every Saints fans and I have to say I am happy this pick happened.
@@Krypt-Kaiboy72 I mean I am a Chiefs fan and I am so happy we got Xavier Worthy, but this could be my fav one.
@@JamesRecto-od6zl I'm a Saints fan and this reaction is no doubt my favorite reaction

TELL ME HOW THE PANTHERS HAD A BETTER PICK THAN US WHEN WE HAD THE 8TH PICK AND THEY HAD THE 32ND!!!
So it's like being a Browns fan?
The Falcons has slammed their Penix in the car door.
IN the car door 😢
# 0001
Hello 911, this is the Atlanta Falcons.......yeah.....yeah yeah it's in a car door this time.
Hahahaha
This was hella funny 😂🤣😆 every team reaction you did was hilarious and accurate💯
No matter how this goes, the Falcons either wasted a draft pick on a qb they have no intention of playing, or they wasted a bunch of money on a big name veteran who gets benched for a rookie.
That's a stretch. Plenty of first round QBs don't play in their first year. Even the legendary Marino didn't start his rookie season as the starter. It's a strange pick and probably a reach but it's clear they have decided to throw everything but the kitchen sink at QB play this year and it's understandable why given how putrid it has been since Ryan left the team.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 Be a damn shame if Cousins tears his other achilles or has a season ending injury and Penix, Jr. is a bust or gets injured. Now you've wasted salary cap, a top 8 first round pick and still can't get to the opposing QB.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 Most of the time when a first round pick sits though, it's behind a guy who's been there a while and is clearly on the way out. Kirk Cousins just got there. I really doubt he came to the Falcons intending to mentor his replacement in his first year.
@@TheCyberAthlete yes it would be a shame and honestly odds are pretty strong all of that could happen. Matt Ryan not withstanding Atlanta has notoriously bad luck at the QB position. That still doesn't mean there is no potential at all in this scenario though. If things go as planned the team gets back to having a winning record with Cousins while grooming their potential next QB. The idea makes a lot of sense EXCEPT the team is taking a hell of a gamble on the two QBs they are relying on.
Not really. Cousins's contract is super front-loaded. They can cut him after the second year easy if he declines, which is possible since he's 35 years old coming off an Achilles tear. He could retire in a couple years anyway.
First round QBs are lottery tickets. Now they have a lottery ticket and a safe option. And the lottery ticket gets to sit and learn for a couple years while you evaluate if he can play in the NFL.
If 28 to 3 was a draft pick is a sick burn.
there a dead horse over there for ya to beat on
@@jadalizmercedes7579I don't see denver broncos anywhere
Terry Fontenot is never beating the sleeper cell allegations
Yea he is really urking my nerves
“Sleeper Cell” implies subtlety.
This just confirms it
Arthur Smith hasn't left 😂😂. I'm so happy
This is a repeat of last year.
Found their stud RB, draft another RB for... reasons.
Found their starter QB, draft another QB for... reasons.
I think it might be because of the tampering thing.
Falcons got their version of the Packers Jordan Love pick 😂
Way worse lmao 😂
@@spidamitchell8311how would you know right now day of the draft lol
@@Oxy404 Jordon Love was at least younger. Penix Jr might actually hit close to 30 before Kirk is gone. I could understand a later round pick, like the injured Jordan travis, but Penix in the 1st feels like a waste pick just to mess with the QB needy teams.
@@xboxbam3979he will be 26
@@Oxy404Because Michael Penix frequently got injured against COLLEGE players. Two ACLs in the same knee, a broken collarbone, a shoulder AC joint injury. If you can't stay healthy against college players, the NFL is going to eat you alive.
I takes true skill to replace the Panthers as the laughingstock of Day 1. Salute to the Falcons
We replaced them as the laughing stock when we lost to them last season off field goals 😭
Ummm the Bills took every ounce of heat off the Falcons. That was 100x worse.
I was hanging out in the Bootleg stream last night and EJ had a pretty good call on what might've been going on - The Falcons may have been planning to draft Cousins' replacement *next* year, but with the tampering investigation were worried they might not have a 2025 first rounder. If the plan was always to cut or trade Cousins before the '27 season (and the contract is very team-friendly if that's the route they decide to go), then Penix with 3 years of backup experience is gonna be a much better QB situation in '27 than whoever they might end up drafting in '26 or'27.
As a Vikings fan we would like to say thank you lol
Falcons: we can get dallas turner.
Vikings: nah will take him though.
Vengeance is sweet.
We'll* 😁👍
AND the better quarterback.
@@SGBassplayerBetter quarterback😂😂😂
Love the Bills fans reaction. Also, that screaming street is awful busy
Can you have the ravens join screaming street after watching all the players we wanted get picked before our turn and even the bills and chiefs colluded to spite us.
Nothing against Wiggins but he ain't worth the first round
Still can’t believe this as a falcons fan
The 8th pick on a back up quarterback. Gotta love the draft.
Falcons could've gotten WR Odunze or maybe a much needed edge rusher picking between Latu or Dallas Turner. I'm not sure how they mess this up.
As a packers fan I am now mad at the Falcons for letting the bears get Rome odunze and not just that but also drafting a quarterback that they didn't need that badly
@@DuncanHall2070Yeah, it’s a really weird pick. Unless you think the kid is Brady or Mahomes 2.0, why would you just not pick a QB sometime in the next couple drafts. Y’know, after Cousins has earned his money. My only guess is that Cousins’ Achilles isn’t healing as fast as they’d like?
@@DuncanHall2070 I think you might know from experience though. How does your view on the Jordan Love pick compare from when he was drafted to now. I believe the same thing will happen with the Falcons.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 I might be delusional, but I think he might actually be that guy.
I full heartedly believe that Penix will end up being the best QB from this class. In my eyes, the Falcons just secured their future after Kirk leaves or retires.
The Falcons can have Penix sit behind Kirk and learn for 2-4 years just like Jordan Love did. And we all can see how that turned out.
In fact, I think the strategy the Packers have employed for QB development is the best strategy and that more teams should do this.
Yeah yeah have you ever played any sports ? He had 4 major injuries and he is only 24
Big fan of Michael Penix Jr here,i wish him all the best for his NFL career. I want him to succeed so bad.
But not at #8. Esp when the Falcons need Edge Rushers or DT. Not to mention Penix has injury issues and he's only 24.
@@huchlvr Only 24? Most of the guys in their second or third year in the league are 24, so it’s normal to have nagging injuries at that point. The fact that he’s trying to make the jump from college to professional football at that age is what is causing these issues for him. He’s too old for the transition, he’s gonna be like Brandon Weeden
He needed to go somewhere when he can play he's going to be a backup
@@Rastafarianinja not when his last few years he had 4 injuries and I believe 2 of them were ACL injuries
Penix is a fine player. But 8 pick is way too high to take him. I think he would have been there in the second round and, the Falcons were not so QB needy to force them to draft a QB that early. I hope it works out. I root for all draft picks to be good, these kids worked hard to get this far.
Not just a 24 yr old QB who'll be at minimum 26 when he starts, but an INJURY PRONE 24 yr old QB. Poor Kirk.
I'm sticking with the Bucs for the division crown.
He hasn't been hurt in a couple years
@@DeosPraetorian but it was bad injuries that he had so...
If 28-3 was a draft pick is the perfect description of that pick
Why would they draft Penix when they paid Kirk Cousins 180 million 😂 worst draft of all time
The worst time to draft a qb is when you need one. But I just thought they would have drafted JJ McCarthy here, as JJ is more developmental than Penix.
Technically they are only on the hook for 2 years and 100 million.
@@GH-xy4zz Yeah, look at how Jordan Love is working out for the Packers. I imagine the Falcons' goal is to have Penix follow the same path.
Said path might actually be the best path for QB development. It worked twice for Green Bay, yet basically no one else does it. It's a shame really.
@@Mr.X2188especially since Michael’s past injuries are a risk. It’s best he sits out a couple years or so to develop fully. It’s actually a blessing he isn’t starting for the Raiders… Bowers deserves to be a Raiders since their rival has a monster TE as well. Anyway Michael will definitely pan out under Kirk as long as he sits out healthy
I think people 🤔 are not getting why atlanta is getting blowback it is not because who they pick it is because he is 24 years old and probably will be 27 before he hits the field unless cousins gets hurt but if he was younger they wouldn't have gotten the anger they getting now because they needed defense before another qb
Meanwhile...
Detroit Lions: Hey Dallas, we will let the "Decker reported" go away for a little while if you trade picks with us
Dallas Cowboys: Bet, we are "All In" after all.
Lions: Hey Cowboys you want to make GB mad?
Cowboys: Say no more
I'm getting awfully curious what Cowboys front office means when they said they'd go "all in" this offseason. Where is this "all in" they kept saying? 😆
Apparently, old Jerrah forgot about their cap situation when he said “All-in”
The 28-3 line was amazing 🤣
You and tree had the perfect reaction to that pick Tom it was amazing LOL
🤣 I been waiting for this since they drafted him.
And nobody was happier than Vikings fans :)
Even got Dallas Turner too!
Skol!
I was actually mad. I wanted both penix and jj on the board when the Vikings picked to see who they favored more. I was happy looking back, but I feel bad for both penix and Kirk. Penix is going to be 28 when Kirks contract ends
@@noyou113i was mad cuz it gave the jets so much leverage
oh trust me cardinal fans or bears fans are just as excited if not more
@@noyou113as a Wolverines and Vikings fan I had Penix over JJ if Penix passed all medicals. Penix needs to be behind a good OLine because of all his injuries but is definitely more talented than JJ. JJ though has more upside if allowed to grow and does suit Vikings historically play action style of offence
@@anthonynicholson5193 as a person who's had a total ACL reconstruction (and a true believer in modern orthopedic surgery), I dread the thought of putting the hopes and dreams of an entire franchise on a Quarterback who couldn'tt even make it out of College without accumulating 2 blown-out knees AND and 2 major shoulder surgeries.
that's simply not the structural profile of a long-term plan for the most-targeted body on an NFL football field.
same with Kirk's torn-up leg.
both are the kind of injury profiles you cross your fingers and hope make it through a Season, not a 5-year contract.
realistically, Penix's body is structurally way older than Kirk's.
disqualified.
MY SEAHAWKS FRANCHISE Q.B. WAS OUR FIRST ROUND MESSIAH PICK WAS MICHAEL PENIX JR. SCREW ATLANTA !
“It’s like if 28-3 is a draft pick.” Genius
Grossi is a legend
Our reaction here in Seattle was “please don’t screw this up.” I hope he kills it in Atlanta
It sucks that it might be years before we see him in action.
Penix won't kill it, because he'll be holding a clipboard on the sidelines.
Its like almost every sports commenter I've watched have said "Its not a knock on Penix Jr, it just doesn't make sense that the Falcons took him" I fully expect him to start in 2 years at the age of 26....he could still play for 14 total seasons from now, everyone losing their minds over his and Bo's age when its only 1 extra year lol
The Falcons got their division winning QB for the end of the 20s and the 30s
In before a career-ending injury makes this pick look genius.
falcons gm forgets that he isn't playing superflex league
It's very difficult to be a Falcons fan.
I expected the Saints laughter but "if 28-3 was a draft pick" was a burn I didn't see coming.
Aye tom your reaction is definitely on point i was the same way yesterday flabbergasted like how do u get a qb with a qb instead of a player whose great on defense like dallas turner thats insane 😂
It's been said before, but I'll say it again
Falcons are gonna Falcon!
As a Saints fan, that was my reaction the entire time.
It ain't like yall did that great lol we're good over here. Worry about that swamp
😂😂😂😂
@@sirtavion20 Actually they had one of the better drafts in the league
I think this guy we'll be pretty solid atleast. He made Indiana University relevant in the modern era which is not easy to do.
It’s like if 28-3 was a draft pick 😂😂
That was a great one-liner
Can’t wait to see the Buffalo Bills reaction.
All I wanted was a franchise edge rusher. Is THAT too much to ask for?😭
Clearly
"It's like if 28-3 was a draft pick" 😂😂😂
I’m happy as a Falcons fan, we get a 1st round QB, if Cousins goes down or doesn’t live up to that stupid contract, we have a qb for the future, but if we’re going to draft a QB why in the hell did we pay Cousins?! My goodness that incompetence of the Front Office is down right disgusting, and I wish Cousins kept his mouth shut, he already choking before he takes a snap it’s ridiculous 😂
😆😆 That's a great point though. Why in the hell did Cousins even mention anything about the Falcons reaching out to him in the first place, and why didn't the team nor his agent tell him to shut the hell up?
He didn't, his agent Mike McCartney leaked that to the media. McCartney is very quickly becoming somone that the Falcons front office doesn't trust. Which is why they kept this a secret until they were on the clock.
I love the pick personally as a falcons fan, but I know I'm alone in this. I think it will work out. I believe.
I like it but I wish we didn’t sign Cousins tho😂
Well it certainly won't make the Falcons a better team this year...
Cant spell Falcons without their draft grade- F!
I like how the screaming street is actually a thing now.
“It’s like if 28-3 was a draft pick” 😂
As a Bucs fan, I'm loving this
I'm happy for Michael Penix, I went to the same high school as did (different years of course) and saw him play in high school. I question the Falcons making this pick and I'm a Bucs fan.
"its as if 28-3 was a draft pick" that made me laugh
OMG, video of the year!!! Well done Tom, Well done
As a Bills fan, it felt like the Bills played a late April Fool’s joke on us by making us sit through 95% of that draft dog and pony show before not drafting. Let’s face it. We were so far down we couldn’t get the WRs we wanted. And we didn’t need OTs or QBs. Fortunately many prime picks were ignored by teams scrounging for QBs. In the end we get to get the best of the 2nd round (made larger by that QB scrounging) and a couple more others we can use to make our team more youthful. It’s still fraught with risk but it’s not a slam dunk stupid move like the Falcons’.
The Falcons really did sell
Thank you for cleaning the spot, I feel better now. 😁
As a life long falcons fan, I was initially shocked but not disappointed, thought we were going DT seeing as though the falcons never drafted a first round DT, but has had interior issues forever. I understand the job security that having these caliber of quarterbacks can create for the GM and head coach. Kirk was the only realistic option for us and we had to pay him in order for him to come here. Drafting Michael is a great future and current insurance policy. The falcons hedged a bet. I hope it works out.
Meanwhile the defense be damned, right? I mean they were 27th in the league last year and certainly won't be any better this year.
“It’s like if 28-3 was a draft pick” killed me 💀
A little later than usual Tom. Now please do Bills and Chiefs fans reaction to Xavier Worthy.
Worthy the worst pick outside of Penix

Why is New Orleans laughing at Atlanta having potentially two good QBs, when they don't even have one?

This right here earned you a new sub. Thanks for the laughs!
This ruined every mock draft
I like Penix a lot, I think he has a great chance to be a great QB. BUT THEN WHY SIGN KIRK FOR FOUR YEARS
NOTHING ABOUT THIS MAKES SENSE
Technically 2 years...other 2 are team options...but yeah, idk
Watch as this turns out to be the best move for the Falcons long-term.
Its like watching the black knight from monty python keep saying “tis but a scratch”….. but with the falcons being the ones hurting themselves.
First 28-3 and now this year's draft.
Relax, go watch him… have the pieces and can always contend regardless of injury,, chill
The only way he plays this year is if Cousins gets injured and if that does happen the Falcons will have to rely on their already mid defense that can't get pressure on the QB. They would have been better off trading for Justin Fields and using the cap space to fill other needs and still draft an edge rusher, and not worry about tampering charges.
Well you know Penix has had some bad injuries already himself... It's not that he is a bad player - he isn't. It's the fact they wasted all that money on Cousins and then turn around and draft Penix afterwards. It was a wasted pick.
The New England superbowl 51 curse strikes again.. what brady did to the falcons is beyond irreparable damage...
Tom's channels the Jordan love draft class and range of emotions 👏 👌 😳 😅😅
As a Saints fan I was dying while on the phone while my friend, who’s a Falcons fan, was losing his mind 😂😂
Good video tom
As a Vikings fan, I literally lmao’ed when they showed Cousins’ reaction 😂

Bills Fans: "Are we there yet!?"
Bills GM: "No!"
Bills Fans: "Are we there yet!?"
Bills GM: "NO!!!"
Bill Fans: "Are we there yet!?"
Bills GM: "NOOOOOO!"
how it happened:
Why a QB when ATL already guaranteed Cousins NINE FIGURES?
(setting aside Which QB they went with...)
Because
Kirk's achilles tendon (which holds his leg together) was still torn in half just a few months ago, and those things don't exactly "heal" in the full traditional sense. It's gonna basically be "old rubber band" status.
They need a rock-solid backup plan....
apparently a backup plan that's had 10x as much orthopedic surgery as Cousins has :)
lol
as for why they paid Kirk a stupid amount of guaranteed money?
It's some kind of mind control think Kirk's agent has. Those two extract money from otherwise smart franchises like crazy witchcraft.
Canton's gonna open up a Kirk Cousins Wing at the HoF just for player-agent duos who extracted Obscene amounts of money from teams for providing only Mediocre play.
He's a career 1-4 in the playoffs.
He's a bit over .500 regular season.
yet
ATL's guaranteed money made him THE FIFTH HIGHEST-PAID FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER.
Only 4 football players have ever been compensated More for their entire careers.
1-4 in the playoffs.
Vikings: "We wasted hundreds of millions -and- a generation of talent on that guy"
Falcons: "Hold my beer..."
Skol!!
As a Raiders fan I was very confused and deeply upset hopefully Minshew will work out
"if 28-3 was a draft pick" bahahahahahaha golden line
Jets not drafting Brock bowers hurt me. I know we need an oline. But it hurt me.
You could tell Rogers wasnt happy either
I’m just act like the Falcons forfeited their pick tonight.
It certainly feels like it when you pass on Rome Odunze for a guy who won’t contribute to your team for possibly 3 years…
Aside from QB, offense wasn't an issue for the Falcons, but no pass rush since 2016 has been a non stop issue for them. If you're gonna reach, then reach for an edge rusher.
This kind of feels like GB when they picked Love.
As a saints fan I loved it. good job ATL 5 stars!! "a surprise to be sure. But a welcomed one" - Palpatine
