Welcome to the Falcon Squad Show
Introduction to the show, hosts welcome listeners, and set the tone for the episode with a focus on the Falcons' latest developments.
Kirk Cousins' Raiders Move and Contract Breakdown
“If you're going to go in that late first round or early second round being Ty Simpson. And when you think about the places that he's potentially going... The Jets. Why? If you're going to go to an organization that's not there as far as the postseason goes, at least go to an organization that seems like they're trying to move in the right direction...”
Drake London and Bijan Robinson Contract Discussions
“You're probably not going to save that much money over the course of the next three to five years. The pennies on the dollar relative, which is not nothing, but like people are sitting here acting like, oh, well, you're going to get Bichon at a discount...”
Kyle Pitts' Future and Front Office Strategy
“I don't have any part of me that is 100% okay with saying Kyle Pitts is going to be here for the future. But I do believe that also some other contracts may dictate what happens with Kyle.”
Jeff Scott's Hiring and Front Office Changes
“He brings post-season experience. He's been with the Eagles. They made the post-season every single year that he worked there. To me, like that is invaluable experience...”
“The biggest thing for me and I'm going to die on this hill is that changing the ATL, making it smaller, making it about the number, getting the numbers to be clear. That is revolutionary for this uniform.”
“I think that can't be understated. I think people that are like, oh, they look the same. No, they don't. You can actually read the number now and you can read the fact that you have their name on the back the way that it is.”
“The NFL's got a short memory because they don't remember how much of a disaster this was 14 years ago to tempt fate again. And like, again, you need this rule.”
