00:00
In terms of him as the starting quarterback moving forward, he's got to play better and
00:06
you know, obviously you got to go back, got to be a look at everything, but you know,
00:09
he wants to play better.
00:10
He's got to play better.
00:11
We got to find a way to get him to play better.
00:13
And obviously we'll get to work tomorrow and that's a part of our process, right?
00:16
You go, you look at the tape, you review with the people that needs to be reviewed with,
00:19
you know, we get all the coordinators in the room, we'll talk with everybody and we got
00:23
to play better at the quarterback position.
00:24
So part B to that.
00:26
If he can't, are you prepared to replace him with Michael Pennix?
00:31
You know, we got everybody in our roster for a reason, right?
00:33
We got so much to get better at and like those things will always be discussed.
00:37
That's just the nature of the beast in football.
00:39
It just so heavily talked about it at the quarterback position because there's only
00:41
one guy out there, you know, so like for us, man, our mentality is to find a way to win
00:45
the next game.
00:46
That's just the mentality that we're going to have.
00:48
So he wouldn't answer the question and what were you going to say?
00:52
Well, look, Cousins was so awful last night.
00:57
I know they owe him a lot of money and I know it's tough to do, but I think I would, I think
01:03
I would switch him.
01:04
And I would, I think it's the shot that you have.
01:06
I mean, they have winnable games.
01:08
I mean, they play the Giants this week, like that's it.
01:12
That's a nice game.
01:13
I feel like that you could put Pennix in like the start they are like a bad team.
01:18
You can get him build some confidence.
01:20
Then you play Washington and Carolina your last two weeks.
01:23
Tampa is there a game behind them.
01:26
Tampa plays Dallas, Carolina and New Orleans.
01:29
You know, they could lose in Dallas on Saturday.
01:31
They probably won't.
01:32
I think Tampa is a good team, but you know, could they get tripped up in any of those
01:35
games?
01:36
Maybe.
01:37
But Atlanta would have to sweep the table in order to do that.
01:39
Yeah.
01:40
I don't, I don't see that happening.
01:42
I think they're, they put a beating on, on LA chargers like no other, but 40 and they
01:49
scored 27 zip in the second half Baker Mayfield to Evans is as lethal a combination as any
01:57
in the NFL.
01:58
And that's just all there is to it.
02:00
And if you're facing Tampa in those three games, you're losing.
02:05
They're going to win.
02:06
I think they're going to win out and that'll be the end of the crappy Falcons.
02:11
And then I think really my, my gut feeling is they're going to play cousins for all the
02:17
money they gave him.
02:18
And because they really do need to beat the giants, you're going to go with a veteran
02:21
over some kid.
02:22
Like, let's see if he can beat the giants.
02:24
That's that mentality of let's see if the kid can do it.
02:27
No, let's let the veteran go do it.
02:29
He'll beat the giants.
02:30
I mean, he, he won last night, didn't he?
02:33
He beat the crappy Raiders.
02:34
He got it done.
02:35
Not because of him, but he got it done.
02:37
That's all there is to it.
02:38
I think next year is when you're going to hear the screaming, not, not voices, but screaming
02:44
that he's got to go.
02:46
And then it's got to be panics.
02:47
I mean, this kid panics as, as exciting a quarterback in terms of, he has one thing
02:54
mastered already in the NFL and people say he's never played a snap that kid in college.
02:59
I don't care what anybody says.
03:01
He got rid of the ball faster than anyone I have ever seen in my life, throw a football.
03:06
That guy drives back and the ball is gone.
03:08
I mean, they say two, two and a half seconds, right?
03:10
Is the number this guy gets rid of the ball in two seconds, forget about two and a half.
03:14
He's a half second faster than anyone I've ever seen.
03:16
He's got an absolutely sky high future and it's going to come Atlanta.
03:21
I think it's going to come next year.
03:23
And then eventually they're just going to have to eat it on Kurt Cousins.
03:26
Kurt Cousins this year looked washed.
03:31
He absolutely, especially over the last six weeks.
03:34
He's really looked washed for them.
03:36
That's for sure.
03:37
I think, you know, at the end of the day, they're not going to get in either way, whether
03:40
they win their last three games or not.
03:42
I don't think that Tampa is potentially going to trip up to be able to do that.
