I'm going to always support the show, but personally this is the type of content im here for. You have great interviews with Lombardi! Great content guys!
Lombardi always talks like he's the end all, be all and that he's won so many SBs. This dude had one shot at GM and didn't do anything. Pennix Jr. was a FALL to ATL, not a reach. Because someone disagrees with him on the Pennix pick now all of a sudden they don't know nor understand a draft board? IT simple, they had Pennix as the 2nd best QB in the draft and he slipped to 8, they took him for the future, SIMPLE. Because 2 years from now when Pennix starts and he's tearing up the league same way Jordan Love did and showed the goods this year, have Lombardi back on this show and ask him what he thinks? " 3:49 Doesn't show lack of preparation, shows for their board Pennix SLIPPED to them so they feel they HAD to them take him since its the QB POSITION. Broncos, Raiders, etc were trying to trade into the top 10 FOR pennix. So what does that say?
At the end of the day signing Kirk Cousins or drafting Penicillin aren’t bad moves. However doing them both within a month shows the Falcons front office did not have a plan or vision for the direction of this team. You can’t say we’re doing everything we can to win now when at the same time spending the 8th pick on a backup QB when you’ve had the worst pass rush in football for the last 4 years. Not to mention you spent the 8th pick a year ago on a running back when you already had a rookie RB coming off a 1,000 season and Jalen Carter was on the board. In my opinion Terry Fontenot made this pick to further his tenure in Atlanta. He blocked Belichick out to keep his control over the team and now with the Penix selection has guaranteed himself a job for at least 3 more years until Penix is “ready to start”.
I totally disagree. IT show they REACTED to the draft and how Pennix SLIPPED to them, thats what it shows. You hae your PRESENT SET while having your FUTURE PREPARED. Cousins deal was a 2 YEAR DEAL from jump REGARDLESS if ATL took Pennix OR not. "You can’t say we’re doing everything we can to win now when at the same time spending the 8th pick on a backup QB when you’ve had the worst pass rush in football for the last 4 years." So Cousins came here for the 8th overall pick? ATL is in "win now" mode because of Pitts., London, BIjan, Tyler Algier, top 10 OL, and top 15 defense that broke out LAST SEASON. So how is ATL NOT in "win now" mode? Thats why Cousins came here BEFORE the draft played out how it did. ATL was in "win now" mode BEFORE Pennix pick. This 8th pick stuff is so overblown because you still have DRAFT PICKS POST the 8th overall pick. Raheem Morris is basically saying he can make the defense work with what he has ESPECIALLY when you have a QB like Cousins playing with the weapons ATL has. "In my opinion Terry Fontenot made this pick to further his tenure in Atlanta." WHy wouldn't you secure WINNING in your future and WINNING in your PRESENT? I just don't see the problem with setting yourself up to WIN NOW plus WIN in the future when its the QB position. Thats pretty smart to me IMO
@@Slimkidd730-- To Lombardi's point though, why wouldn't they simply just start Pennix and spend the money you gave to Cousins on a backup QB and other needs (like Daniele Hunter)?
@@Zippadeedoodaa-nt8om He did slip dipshit because he's BETTER than Drake Maye, the best deep thrower, best pure passer, most pro ready, and OTHER TEAMS were trying to get into the top 10 to draft him. REPEAT: Pennix is better than Drake Maye and possibly better than Daniels. His injury history is from a DIFFERENT SCHOOL. Why are you talking about him being healthy tne last 2 seasons when he has a OL that can protect him????
The overreaction to this draft pick is crazy. If this was a top tier draft class that would be one thing, but bro it’s not the end of the world. Maybe the Falcons see something they like and they thought he was the best player on the board. Cool. I don’t get why the Falcons are getting torn apart
It's really a two year deal essentially. When the Packers drafted Love people said the same thing. I hope it works out and everybody has to eat their words.
@@WWG3802 Exactly, people said the same thing. 2 years from now those people including Lombardi will eat crow. Favre, Brady, Carson Palmer, Rodgers, Love, Mahomes, etc all SAT.
How !any have sat and didn't pan out? A lot more than you named, that's for sure. Back in the day every QB sat until they learned the system, no matter how high they was drafted.
He is shaking in his boots, dude. There is nothing that he is saying that is wrong. I mean, from just a sports fan point of view, explain that pick after signing Cousins. No one can tell the future and no one knows how this team will fare but that pick was a head scratcher.
Ask Lombardi 2 years from now how he feels about it. Betting market? Tel lthat to the teams trying to MOVE into the top 10 for Pennix. There was plenty of smoke of teams trying to trade up to no. 3 pick and below for a QB. You can't guarantee that Pennix was going to be there at 8, when teams were trying to trade INTO the top 10? See how he's trying to say that McCarthy was going ahead of Pennix? Pennix stock SHOT UP and even he ADMITTED that. You don't know how the draft was going to play out. SMH
He is butt-hurt that the Falcons didn't hire his buddy so anything that he says already has built in bias. Falcons fans you cannot take this guy seriously.
The cheap route everyone is discussing will bring cheap results. Having Adam’s and Bowers in Vegas mean nothing you also have Gardner Minshew. Thinking JJ will be ready after a couple of weeks of Sam darnold stinking it up is the same.
Lies, your facts are off, just Falcons hate, Lamar Jackson was never a free agent and Watson took the bigger offer from the Browns, lazy journalism as usual on Atlanta sports, 🗑️🗑️🗑️
This is dude is just anti falcon. Name the Teams that hired Belichick and went after Jackson 0. The Falcons attempted to trade Up in Feb to get into the top 3 to get Penix they couldnt do it to secured a QB so they wouldn’t go in to the draft HOPING to get their Guy. IF they landed Jackson (a huge IF because Baltimore was not going to let their MVP QB walk out the door every GM and owner knew) they would’ve had to give up more Cash and picks than the Falcons gave up for Kirk and Penix. Bruh had an Issue with the Falcons before they drafted Penix. Hes just piling on
He did make a good point that the Falcons should've known about the QBs in the upcoming draft (including Pennix) before inking Cousins. It seems like they signed Cousins without first analyzing the QBs coming out of college. With their dire need at QB, they should've known about every QB in this draft far in advance of free agency.
Old white man aint making no sense just hating on Falcons…its a reason why he aint a GM Raiders,Saints, Seahawks,nd Giants could’ve drafted Penix before 2nd Rd nd Falcons lose their guy… its more to why they Drafted Penix

No he wasn't. He's had at least 4 major injuries over the years. His plating leg and throwing shoulder. Now he hears footsteps.

You nailed it. It tells you how ignorant owners really are.
Penix didn't slip, num nutz. His injury history is terrible.

Great show, well done. Great content!
All i heat is Falcons Bashing , Falcons fans wont forget this video Lombardi

It honestly seems like people are mad that this man beat their bullshit odds and got drafted where he was supposed to go.
Keep doing it up coach jb and smitty
I like the realness of this show real talk.. Coach JB my mf guy.. keep up the good work you and Big Smitty 💯‼️
Robert Kraft called and said not to bring in Bellichick.
For some reason no one is asking him about that and he's not bringing that up and making it seem like if was TFs call. SMH
@@Slimkidd730you see what’s going on here ? Lol
Belichick - "Thanks Mr. Kraft!"
LOMBARDI ON FIRE
Ask Lombardi 2 years from now how he feels about it. Betting market? Tel lthat to the teams trying to MOVE into the top 10 for Pennix. There was plenty of smoke of teams trying to trade up to no. 3 pick and below for a QB. You can't guarantee that Pennix was going to be there at 8, when teams were trying to trade INTO the top 10?

Stairway to 7 let's go Steelers! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Lombardi can bash Fontenot for a lot, but LBS, he KNEW Bill would not work in the ATL. Massachusetts is NOT the SOUTH.
Many coach-needy teams passed on Belichik. Why should the Falcons be pointed out and blamed for doing so?
pay attention pal.
Of course you don’t need to see Seattle to see Pennix but Kirks deal isnt the commitment ppl have been making it out to be.
This interview reeks of something else..
Definitely. Jobless Lombardi seems to have some accounts to settle.
He is butt-hurt that the Falcons didn't hire his buddy so anything that he says already has built in bias. Falcons fans you cannot take this guy seriously.
The cheap route everyone is discussing will bring cheap results. Having Adam’s and Bowers in Vegas mean nothing you also have Gardner Minshew. Thinking JJ will be ready after a couple of weeks of Sam darnold stinking it up is the same.
The Falcons made all the betters and mock draft experts look like fouls this is way all the hate
Why does it take courage to say I don’t want bill billechek when his team has been total trash for years.

I love the penix pick I hate we sign kirk cousin
Where was the head coach in all this stupidity???
Listening to this guy, you can tell he hates the falcons
Exactly he aint make not one good point just hating
Exactly. A Bellicheck disciple since the 1980’s. Embittered because the Falcons did not hire his friend and former boss.
He did make a good point that the Falcons should've known about the QBs in the upcoming draft (including Pennix) before inking Cousins. It seems like they signed Cousins without first analyzing the QBs coming out of college. With their dire need at QB, they should've known about every QB in this draft far in advance of free agency.
