Agenda
#1
: Trade for Justin Fields
Agenda
#2
: Trade up for Jayden Daniels
Agenda
#3
: Stay put at 7 or 8 and draft Penix
These are my agendas and I am sticking to them.
BREAKING:
#Bears
Justin Fields tells fans “I gave Chicago my all” and hints of his departure from Chicago after this season. 🤯🤯🤯
The Bears currently hold the first overall pick and are expected to select Caleb Williams. 👀
Where will Fields play in 2024? 🤔
If Bill Belichick is indeed the HC of the Atlanta Falcons by weeks end I need a couple of guarantees
- TF will still handle all personnel decisions
- BB will not return to the Patricia, McDaniels well
- We’re going to get our franchise QB in the upcoming draft
1. Atlanta Falcons (via CHI) - Caleb Williams (QB - USC)
Trade details: Atlanta sends picks No. 8 and No. 43, a 2025 first-round pick, a 2026 third-round pick, and CB A.J. Terrell to Chicago for pick No. 1.
This trade makes sense

co-offensive coordinator Cortez Hankton for their vacant OC job under Raheem Morris, sources say. He helped develop Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, two potential 1st round picks.
Mid if I’m mid🤣🤣 then ya fav franchise is poverty stricken 😂😂 has never drafted a real pass rusher worthy of having a career there. Y’all just hire mercs I can’t name a Failcons de, dt, heck olb that had over 70 sacks in black & red
And I JUST hope y’all know Dejounte staying right. Tony Ressler just came from the fucking stands to hug that nigga‼️that nigga Tony came down there like a fucking fanboy to hug him too
The way I’ve seen Falcons Twitter rally around
@ByDanielFlick
is exactly why I love this fan base.
If you do good work you’re rewarded with loyalty and love. By all estimations Daniel embodies that.
The falcons literally said they would not be informing the public on who they’ve requested but would inform the public AFTER they interview them… *sigh*
There are 6 HC openings and 4 GM openings.
Over 50 interview requests have gone out.
The
#Falcons
have not made a single request yet. 🤔
A big decision still looms in New England…
Here’s an updated HC/GM tracker:

Disagree completely a leader has the right to call you out for crucial errors. A good leader does both. A fake leader is the one that always is positive and/or takes the blame for everything. He should’ve caught that ball. Period.

. A top WR off the board.
Falcons WRs coach Ike Hilliard rattled off Drake London's strengths, including ball skills, "unique" run after catch and playmaking.
"He's more talented than I gave him credit for."
How Hilliard's "in-helmet perspective" can take London to new heights:
@JAiHAWKFLY
Yeah let’s highlight the QB who actively skipped out on off season workouts last year because he didn’t think getting reps with rookie wideouts was “important” and has admitted to essentially screwing them over 🤣
You mean to tell me that the Commanders, Patriots, Vikings, Giants, Titans, Broncos, & Raiders didn’t want to give up a conditional 6th round pick for Justin Fields?
Thats wild.
The craziest part is this number is going to grow
- Ridder replaces Mariota
- Bergeron replaces E. Wilkinson
- Okudah/Alford replaces C. Hayward
- Bijan and Allegier vs CP and Allegier
- C. Phillips replaces Mike Ford
Young team on both sides of the ball!
most snaps played by players 26 years old or younger last season:
1. NYG (10,826)

#Falcons
assistant head coach/defense Jerry Gray will remain with the team as a member of Raheem Morris’ coaching staff, sources say. Gray has agreed to a contract extension to stay in Atlanta.
I understand people being frustrated because Jalen Carter was still there but Bijan being added to an offense that needed more playmaking is awesome and im excited

So it feels like Arthur Blank is chasing Bill while the rest of the organization isn’t.
The biggest question then remains, will Blank let the football knowledgeable people make the football decisions?
OR
Much like the Deshaun Watson situation will Blank meddle?
Bengals three-time Pro-Bowl DE Trey Hendrickson has requested to be traded from Cincinnati, per league source. Hendrickson is due to make $15 million this season, and is looking for more long-term security than Cincinnati has been willing to offer.

@jjmccarthy09
No it’s the exact comparison because just like Zach he was unnecessarily pushed to the top of a draft with much more proven candidates and it’s happening all over again
With Desmond Ridder no longer apart of the
#Falcons
it leaves the question for backup QB.
Taylor Heinicke is still on the roster with thoughts of potentially getting cut. He could, however, restructure his contract and remain the backup for Kirk Cousins.

Camp days! A staple of summer sports (baseball does a bunch of these) as a former camp counselor I LOVED going to Dream games on camp days. It’s a fun time
@falcfans
I saw a head coach who felt he could trust his offensive line and they lost his trust in one half of football.
He then went back to some of the play-calling you saw last year
The Falcons have faced 350 drop backs this year. They have 147 total pressures on those drop backs. That's a pressure rate of 42%.
In 2022, they faced 630 drop backs and had 195 total pressures. That's a pressure rate of 31%.
The pass rush is improving.

#NFL
single-season record for PR at 119.9 (inc.playoffs).
Special teams could’ve been better but fuck all that. This is the millionth game in a row our defense has been lights out for all but two drives and our offense can’t put it together
Loss by 4… offense gave away 9 points. Even with the missed field goals you win this game
Steve Wyche on NFL Report is pretty adament that the Falcons will not be in on Justin Fields and confirms what Daniel Jeremiah has been saying that Atlanta will be aggressive in a trade up for a quarterback.
For my money it should be Drake Maye, if you’re going up, go up to 2
@Bryce_Lewis86
Jase is the kind of guy you want as your 3rd back, has the ability to run in between the tackles, a solid receiver out of the backfield and has some of that break away juice (emphasis on some)
Casey played at Illinois and improved every year, very low drop rate
@CarasikS
Something the rams excelled at because they had versatile athletes like Kobie Turner and Byron Young who felt comfortable blitzing from anywhere
@SpurOTM
We all know the ownership is the biggest issue with this club
However, you cannot bury your head in the sand and wonder that if they properly funded the first guy we wouldn’t have had the other two.
As Falcons quarterback rumors continue to swirl ... asked Atlanta OC Zac Robinson last month the top qualities he wants in a QB:
--Most competitive guy in the building
--Accuracy
--Full inventory of throws
--Throw with touch, pace; drive ball when needed
--Poise in big moments
@Dr_Sweets23
Ok let’s be honest here that WAS a terrible shot HOWEVER Dame Dolla is a great player and great players make bad shots all the time. If Dame missed it everyone’s wondering why he didn’t attack the rim. So I can empathize with PG here I’d feel hard done by
@BKsquared7
Yeah we'll disagree here, i think the FO had a plan to let Matt play out his contract in Atlanta whilst building around him in the draft. The timeline speaks to that as well...
2023 would've been Matt's last year contractually
We need some positivity on this
#Falcons
timeline!
So, shout out your favorite Falcons creators in this community, show them love for all the work they do!
I’ll say this much, if Arthur Blank DOES fire Arthur Smith and does NOT fire Terry Fontenot with him, that’s a pure scapegoat job.
You can’t separate the two at this point. If you blame the coach for his QB, the GM drafted him too. If you blame the coach for 7-10 three years
