The Atlanta Falcons are facing some challenging decisions | NFL Live

I joined NFL Live to discuss the Atlanta Falcons firing head coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot and why I believe its important for whoever they hire next to be in lockstep agreement regarding who plays quarterback.

  1. Nah Mina you were wrong about James Pearce Jr. not being worth it don’t double down. Getting Walker and JPJ was the right move, also got Xavier Watts in that deal.

  2. Raheem Morris is just not a good HC I was shocked when they hired him. Also a huge mistake hiring Zac Robinson as OC. Fontenot did a good job though I think the nail in the coffin for him was the Penix pick blunder. Imagine if they would've traded out of that pick and picked a QB in 2025.

  3. Stefanski is a terrible coach and even worse human being for the mistreatment of Sanders.

    He's supposed to be an offensive mind but can't draw up NFL caliber plays, can't install a functional game plan, and cant evaluate talent. #malpractice #incompetence #🗑 #⚪️stay.on.code

  4. Problem is they deep down got the Cousins signing right. He's 11-7 when his shoulder isnt hurt and has good numbers as well. They mismanaged the injury last season which was alot of distrust and bad communication because of the Penix pick but more so they had blinders on that once Penix got in Kirk wouldnt get his job back and then this season they didnt have them compete.

  5. Sometimes I think these guys get paid by the word, so much untrue and unnecessary talking. The new Falcons regime’ job is VERy simple, the roster is stacked on both sides with a few positional needs, sure, but a lot of talent to work with. The QB position is again, not super complicated…. Cousins is too old, mediocre and expensive to keep so he is a no. They can’t get a QB in this draft even if they had a 1st rounder so the very obvious thing is to have Penix audition for the job in 2026, if he can stay healthy and develop then problem solved, if not you find a guy in 2027. Meanwhile you have a ton of talent to lay with and scheme around. There are big decisions but they are not challenging ones

  6. So first. The coach for Jacksonville came last year from the Bucs. So Nina is very wrong about that he didn't draft the QB in Jacksonville. He just made him better with coaching. Coaching is important when you have talent. Understanding how to build chemistry and using the strengths of your players. By putting them in position to win. Caleb Williams his coach made the difference in his progression. It didn't happen with Raheem and when the coach doesn't win. Fontenot became a casualty along with him.

  8. Nina is way off. Don’t understand why she was perplexed. James Pearce Jr, Jaylon Walker, Xavier Watts, Billy Bowman, Ruke, Drake, Bijan, Penix, etc. what is she perplexed about? The only question was Kirk Cousin

  9. Losing to the Panthers by 30. And to the jets with zero improvement is a fireable offense. Drafting at shit quarter back with 4 acl repairs and signing a 38 year old with no acls they deserve it.

  10. Mina Kimes does not cover Football like shes supposed to. She is a seahawks fan and knows nothing about east coast teams. One time she gave a take on the falcons defense and she called Leonard Floyd, Dexter fowler 😂 she is not hip and is very much out of the loop

  11. All yall saying Mina is wrong?! Why would someone that’s never played a down of football be wrong? ESPN only hires the best to be analysts these days! 😂

  12. Penix hurt the OTHER knee and now all of a sudden he’s trash, when everybody and they mama saw them not coach and develop him correctly. WTF is this the twilight zone!?

  13. The GM and HC being hired at the same time is an overrated concept. The most important thing is do they work together and have the same vision for the team

  14. Raheem Morris is just a token interview for teams to satisfy this round of the Rooney rule he’s not really a serious candidate 🤓

  15. Surprised by the decision…you idiots obviously don't watch the Falcons. He doesn't have a winning record to begin with. The worst division and too much talent not to make the playoffs. Raheem sucks as a head coach….period !!!
