Florio needs to get over it. He’s angry Atlanta didn’t lose a number 1 pick on the Cousins negotiations. Atlanta is doing what they want to do. Not having a QB for two seasons made them realize they need one. Duh! Having two is even better.
What if Atlanta never gets a top pick again to take a quarterback with the potential of Penix in the coming years. I'm a huge Falcons fan and being out of QB hell that we have been in feels great. I wish this bit about the Falcons covered Judon and Simmons. Everyone said to take Turner, they didn't, but still addressed it and no talks of that? Just more they should have never drafted Penix
If it's the 28 and a half on average and no Tds have been given up and there has been fumbles so using those numbers its worth the kicking team make them return it. I also get the regular season will change thing but the logic saying it's not worth giving up a TD for the 1 or 2 yards is just forgetting that the returning team can turn it over...which is more likely than returning it.
In case you don't know, Mike Florio used to be a lawyer for 18 years and is a fiction author who writes mob books. I'm assuming his previous profession influenced his choice of topics to write about.
Don't forget he also worked as an engineer for Chevron out here in Emeryville, Ca. Failed and subsequently went to law school. Part of the reason he hates the Bay Area and the Niners.
Yeah Atlanta is insane for drafting Penix…wait until they win the division and also have their present AND future at QB settled while only paying out $100M guaranteed for that. That sounds like a good situation to me. Heck of a lot better than Tua’s $167M guarantees.
It shouldn't be thought of as insane. But if Penix proves to be underwhelming, then you can legitimately question the wisdom of missing out on a stab at a quality player with such a high pick. Their defense is under the radar good and using that pick to get the first defensive player off the board (your pick of the litter) might have been a very good move to put the defense over the top, especially with a defensive HC. A trade down might have generated a wealth of talent down the road. I would've loved it if they would have traded down once or twice and got leatu latu whose looking great in the preseason. Plus, they could have gotten a developmental qb later in that draft or perhaps next year. Time will tell
Aaaahhhh yes. Florio and Rich trying to out do one another on a topic that does make sense. Especially since the Judon and Simmons acquisitions. Honestly. When did Kirk Cousins become a top 5 QB?
He’s been in the mvp convo multiple years. So when he’s not hurt he can be good but that’s the if so why not have a solid back up plan if they believe this roster can go on a run.
Cousins has never been the ‘wire to wire’ guy, no matter what the Falcons have said. That’s why they drafted Penix. It’s an Achilles. Geez, Flores, c’mon. It was always going to be a two QB season for the Falcons. Wait and see.
Don’t listen to Florio and you’ll be smarter. BA isn’t getting a pay raise. If $14M PER YEAR FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OF WORK is not enough, then see ya.
Remove the kick Reduce the Commercials or we will stop watching. There are too many commercials for me to tolerate watching a football game. I will accept more games but make them shorter and with fewer commercials. SICK OF THE COMMERCIALS.

Cowboys, 49ers, Aaron Rodgers. Every. single. Day. Meanwhile, there’s a perfect storm brewing in Detroit. People are gonna learn soon.
JARED GOFF 🔥🦁🔥
Placed my biggest bet ever yesterday… Detroit will win the NFC
Chicago and Green Bay will run you down lol
@@MrKDollarSign put the crack pipe down
@@DetroitLionsDynastyChicago fans are making Vegas so happy this pre season. It's funny seeing them bet money on Caleb being the MVP this season.
Kicking the ball outta the end zone should be the same as booting one outta bounds. Start at the 40!
A LOT of overthinking going on here. Reminds me of the poison show down scene in "The Princess Bride", with Florio playing the role of Vizzini.
You'd like to think that, WOULDN'T YOU?!
As You Wish
Inconceivable
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders" Never wait till the last minute to sign your key players
@@gregthomas5245 I do not think it means what you think it means.
The Falcons have had a great offseason they’re going all in, maybe they wanted an insurance policy a lot of seasons end because QB injuries

Why over think it . Penix was high on the board , and they couldn’t believe he would be there …..
He was projected as a mid to late 1st rd pick. I love the pick for Atlanta but he was always gonna be there at 8.
@@florida1289the way QBs were flying off the board Penix was not lasting past the top 10-12 picks
Raiders were going to take him a few picks later
McDermott has been giving up the 30 on most of the Bills' preseason kickoffs. The Touchback needs to be the 35 or 40 to make the play worth the risk.

Mike was a civil lawyer focusing on wrongful termination not criminal.
Don't forget he also worked as an engineer for Chevron out here in Emeryville, Ca. Failed and subsequently went to law school. Part of the reason he hates the Bay Area and the Niners.
Mike, please for the love of humanity, get a better mic, you must know someone who can help?

Rich brought Florio on to co-sign his falcons hate
‘The market always goes up’? Hmm, someome ought to tell the running backs.
I think Mike needs a smaller house.
Surprised Florio didn’t start with “my preferred pronouns are”…..
Her and ma’am 🤣
Aaaahhhh yes. Florio and Rich trying to out do one another on a topic that does make sense. Especially since the Judon and Simmons acquisitions.

I'm so sick of Rich Eisen and all the falcons drafting Michael Penix talk. Dude move on and get over it.
Cousins has never been the ‘wire to wire’ guy, no matter what the Falcons have said. That’s why they drafted Penix. It’s an Achilles. Geez, Flores, c’mon. It was always going to be a two QB season for the Falcons. Wait and see.
He’s been critical since we made the move for mpj, now proceeds to explain why you need multiple qbs smh
Don’t listen to Florio and you’ll be smarter.
BA isn’t getting a pay raise. If $14M PER YEAR FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OF WORK is not enough, then see ya.
GB NEEDS HEINECKE
Lamb is so incredibly good, I don’t know why the Cowboys wouldn’t jump on a deal. Just find the highest paid WR, and pay Lamb a little more 🤷♂️
If they had done the deal just a few months ago it would be saving them millions but Jerry always knows how to cost himself in these deals.

Mike that bitterness isn’t good for your soul. Falcons don’t want to have a QB problem which is why they went for Penix
