Smart move by Atlanta

@robertblackman7235 11 дней назад

My only issue with the Falcons is they didn’t get a edge rusher in free agency

@knockout9446 11 дней назад

Not like Kirk was hurt last year or anything.

@drlove994 11 дней назад

Because the just locked up the most important position in all sports for a decade.

@C-nk4cr 11 дней назад

You definitely wouldn’t have been able to get Penix if you traded down because someone would’ve traded up (i.e., Vegas or Minnesota)

@WSPBane 11 дней назад

exactly the talking heads like to act like they know what all the teams are thinking. Word is 3 teams at least the Hawks, Saints and Raiders were looking to move up for Penix. The Falcons surely received calls to see if they were open for business since no one had them taking a QB. So they likely knew what some of the interest level was.

@chard2534 10 дней назад

You obviously didn’t watch ATL games last year. The defense was not the reason their record was bad. It was their QB play. 100%.

@abuhrman989 11 дней назад

What's funny is all these NFL podcast people are all saying nix and pinex would fall to the 2nd round or late 20s at best. While every top notch real NFL insider is saying teams were making calls for the 9th 10th and 11th pick to trade up for JJ, Pinex, and Nix. Everyone knew the raiders wanted pinex and the broncos wanted nix and the vikings wanted JJ so im sure the raiders would have traded up if the falcons passed on him. You need the plan so what happened the last 4 years doesn't happen again

"Do women ever feel ugly?" wow that must be the greatest question of all time

@OMTstudios 9 дней назад

The myth is that women are ever not-ugly. Makeup hides a lot.

@gabrielv.2647 8 дней назад

@@OMTstudios exactly. Low self esteem or insecurities

@gabrielv.2647 8 дней назад

Haha I think they do all the time because the majority of women do wear tons of make up, all fake artificial, women don't understand that they are all beautiful in their own way, don't need make up or any of this. The more make up, the more they are trying to hide. Yeah red flags for me lol fake.

Please don't switch up! Keep that same energy because I am keeping all of these receipts.

@millennial953 11 дней назад

I wonder if these two do any research

@Keith_No_Sweat 11 дней назад

If Kirk do his job he ahouldnt be worried or confused

@OMTstudios 9 дней назад

What world is 28 old lol. Thats like 8 years of playing time. Thats more than Micahel Vick.

@alexamerling79 11 дней назад

As a Bears fan, it helped us get Rome so I'm fine with it lol

@assassin415 11 дней назад

i like the confidence i guess of atlanta thinking they are going to be low picks the next few years so getting the qb ahead of time to future proof themselves

@WSPBane 11 дней назад

Do you really think the Falcons thought they could move back and get Penix? The Falcons surely received calls to see if they were open for business since no one had them taking a QB. So they likely knew what some of the interest level was so they made their move. They went through a period where Matty Ice got older and they were left without a QB. If thinks work out and Cousins is great for 2 years they wont be anywhere near the top half of the draft to select a guy like Penix again. Or if Cousins struggles, starts getting injured they have Penix in the wings ready to keep that team competitive. While he wont carry any of that high pick expectations with Cousins there allowing him hopefully to adjust and be ready to play.

Absolutely! These two have no idea what they are talking about. (I still like them tho! 😊)

@shyonmclean9778 10 дней назад

In the 2016 year the falcons defence wasn’t good, the offence was just putting up so much points it made teams on dimensional. The defence was average offence was crazy good.

@dmac5808 10 дней назад

You guys are too funny. Michael is an insurance policy, and who knows if he would have been there in the later rounds? This was an excellent pick. The NFL has been destroying young QBs careers by putting them on the field on day one.

@t.taylor948 10 дней назад

You both are wrong. These 3 qbs were going to be taken early. Altanta knee because Im sure teams were calling to trade up. Penix wasn't high on scouts lists but the coaches love him.

@TFFForecast 11 дней назад

Sean Payton might not be okay

@gabrielv.2647 8 дней назад

Hmm idk maybe because its a 36 year old QB coming off a major injury, reason why the Falcons only guaranteed 2 years of the 4, as well the falcons might not get the chance to draft a QB like this in the First top 10 picks. Obviously if cousins is healthy, he gives them a way better chance at QB and making the playoffs in that weak divison then the QB they had, so if the falcons make the playoffs for the nexf 2 years, their drafting in the first round drops from top 10 to what the late teens maybe 20's as most playoff teams, thats why they took him at 8. I love the move, just hope penix becomes what he is projected to be

Broncos QB: Bo Nix, Broncos Fans: Bonees! Atlanta pick was brainless; "I'll bet the over AND the under, I cant lose!" 😂

@jays4113 11 дней назад

Probably thinking about the future … Kirk is solid but is much older and coming off a torn ACL. Guys we can all do their jobs at this point in the comment section.

@natureredux1957 10 дней назад

Not only were the Falcons right to Draft Penix, they should have drafted a 3rd QB. Who in the World is 31yr old Taylor Heinicke and why is he even on the TEAM.
