00:00Why did you sign cousins?

00:04Why did you do this?

00:05You knew you were taking panics.

00:07You knew you were taking a quarterback like Scott, I'm a big draft junkie and I, you know,

00:13you can't believe every report, but I talked to a lot of people and all this stuff.

00:16And I had heard the Falcons didn't want cousins.

00:19They want to get a young quarterback and groom with like the players that they have and grow

00:24up together.

00:25And then they turn around and they got, they got cousins, but then they still drafted the

00:29quarterback and they were like, see, we told you we liked the young quarterback.

00:33So why did you just turn around and give cousins all this money?

00:36If panics is going to end up being the one that plays by it is, there's no way, there's

00:41no way that he's going to play.

00:44He might play if he's, if he's not ready, if he's not ready, then panics will, will

00:49go obviously.

00:50But I'm saying they got cousins and gave him all that money because he's going to play

00:55and he's got a short term deal.

00:57Scott, it's like a two year deal.

00:59It's a two year thing.

01:00Right.

01:01So it's, it's wind out.

01:02But my deal is, is cousins going to stay healthy.
