primed to make a Cinderella run this season and deserve to be respected by the NFL and their own fans the Falcons are looking to make an unexpected run this season but it's what they did a little over 7 months ago that kickstarted his whole entire process got some breaking news here it's actually become official now really no surprise there Arthur Smith has been released the Atlanta Falcons have moved on from their head coach and Arthur Smith January 15 2021 the Atlanta Falcons hired Arthur Smith Smith an offensive specialist ran the Titans offense in the 2020 NFL season where the Titans finished number three in total offense with 6,343 yards and averaged 30.7 points per game which was fourth best in the NFL at the time it was a great hire with Smith being an incredible OC for Tennessee in 2019 and 2020 however we quickly learned that Arthur Smith was not cut out to be a head coach and every Falcons fan dreams came true he's gone it's 12:01 in the morning they waited a single minute and he's gone after missing the Playoffs for a seven straight season and and finishing third in the worst division in the NFL it was clear changes needed to happen the first move the Falcons made was to fire head coach Arthur Smith Smith deserved some Grace in the first two seasons because the team had issues Beyond coaching Falcons addressed their offense the last few years by drafting Kyle Pitts Drake London and bjn Robinson and everyone was hoping for Smith to pull out his plays from Tennessee because coming into 2023 he had an elite running back and pass catchers like how the Titans had in Derrik Henry and AJ Brown in 2020 however what was supposed to be a fun and upand cominging offense finished 26 in the NFL leading to a third consecutive 7 and 10 season making it the final straw for Arthur Smith you're free now Bean you can score points again we breaking news well we got breaking news out of the NFL we have breaking news to get to here on NFL live where the Atlanta Falcons are nearing a deal to make Raheem Morris Raheem Morris will be the next head coach of the Falcons according to Adam shefer atanta Falcons are planning to hire Raheem Morris the Atlanta Falcons reunited with Raheem Morris where he spent time with the organization from 2015 to 2020 he was the interim head coach in 2020 when Dan Quinn was fired Morris is coming off a successful three-year spell as a defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams where he ended up winning a Super Bowl in 2021 known as a defensive specialist rahee Morris spent time on the offensive side of the ball from 2016 to 2019 with the Falcons as a wide receiver coach and an offensive pass game coordinator most importantly Morris has had full-time head coaching experience with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2009 to 2011 although young and had losing records in two of those three seasons Morris will have learned from his previous mistakes and hopes his second tenure as a head coach will be a successful one even with his own offensive experience Raheem Morris is using the Sean McVey tree and bringing in Zack Robinson as his offensive coordinator where he spent time as the pass game coordinator for the Rams along with a quarterback and wide receiver coach Morris is hoping Robinson will help revive this offense with all the young Playmakers they have with the favorable schedule and an easier division the Falcons are banking on the coaching change from Arthur Smith to Raheem Morris to help reach their goal of winning a Super Bowl or at least for this year be relevant a massive signing has taken place in the NFL ladies and gentlemen cousins has G to the Atlanta Falcons he is leaving Minnesota he is going to Atlanta Kur cousins has agreed to a 4-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons it's being reported by his agent Arthur Smith was terrible but let's be honest the Falcons issues last season was beyond coaching not utilizing pits London and Robinson was on Arthur Smith but someone still has to get them the ball another reason why the Falcons were the 26th rank offense last year was that the quarterback decided to throw the ball to players who weren't wearing Falcons jerseys R hit as he got rid of the football and it is picked off do plays come Robinson motions across Ritter's looking back to the right side and throws an interception God please no no no just barely gets it off rder Chucks it intercepted picked off let's be honest no amount of coaching is fixing this so it was clear the next step was to upgrade the quarterback although there were not great QBs available via trade or in free agency the Falcons decided to trade away Desmond Ritter to the Cardinals for Rond Del Moore and sign Kirk Cousins to a whopping 4year $180 million contract now we know what you're thinking is Kirk Cousins really going to take this team to the promised land coming off an Achilles injury and at age 36 probably not we agree giving Kirk that contract is crazy but there is no denying that cousins is a starting quarterback in this league and an huge upgrade from Mariota and Ritter yes Kirk Cousins will have his moments but with a career career completion percentage of 67% and a winning record therefore he has shown in his career that he could get the job done not only that he'll be surrounded by a great o line led by Chris lindström Elite Playmakers and bejan Robinson Kyle pittz and Drake London and along with the play calling from the new offensive coaching staff Kirk is more than capable of getting this job done the best part is Kirk Cousins is used to this type of talented offense from Minnesota led by Kevin OK connell's play calling and having great Playmakers and a solid Old Line the player who should be the most excited with this cirt cousin signing is Kyle pittz Pitts who's a former fourth overall pick and has incredible Talent was not able to Showcase his true potential in these first couple of years the reason why Kyle pittz should be excited is because Kirk Cousins played with TJ hawson in Minnesota hackinson who played 18 games with Kirk was targeted nine times a game where he finished with 997 yards and a total of six touchdowns hits last year only had 667 yards and three touchdowns with Kirk Cousins now leading the way hits can actually be a worthy draft pick for those playing fantasy football this year primed for a breakout year and Drake London as well the Falcons are hoping that this is the right path to make a Cinderella run we waited 6 years to say this welcome to the NFL draft into Detroit with two massive moves made from Atlanta they now look to the draft to continue this Stellar off season with a fix at QB and the new head coach the Falcons look to address their needs at wide receiver 2 and Edge Rush by having the eighth pick in the draft the Falcons are to get a great player to fill their holes it could be romad dun to fill in the wide receiver two spot or latu latu or Dallas Turner to fix the pass rush so with the eighth pick in the 2024 NFL draft the Atlanta Falcons select Michael P Jun Matt Mo how come you didn't tell us that this was potentially going to happen well because I think this is pretty idiotic you just spent $1 160 million on a quarterback if you're not a pass rusher away and you're not a quarterback away why the hell you pay 18 million off Kirk because you had no chance you had no chance to do it without him I did not see this coming this is crazy it's long 41 years you've been doing this mad Mel you don't know obviously to say that this was a missed opportunity is an understatement and on top of that you managed to piss off Kirk Cousins how do you make someone who dresses like this angry an incredible offseason wasted with one pick no offense to Michael penx who is a great quarterback but the Falcons were making win now moves but you can't win Now by drafting a quarterback who won't play for you for the next couple years and who who knows penx in three years might be the best pick in the draft but as of right now the Falcons blew it however they still found a way to make up for it well we've got breaking news out of the NFL where the Patriots are trading Pro Bowl pass rusher Matthew Jude onto the Atlanta Falcons heading into the season the Falcons still had a very good chance of winning their division with their current roster but their lack of pass rush would not make him a threat in the playoffs all that changed when to tra for Star pass rusher Matthew judon from the New England Patriots for a third third round pick to address their biggest need judan who is going into a contract year will be highly motivated and with that addition it helps the Falcons become more of an all-around team making them more of a threat in the NFC one day later Justin Simmons is now also a member of the Atlanta Falcons safety from the Denver Broncos that was on the market for a long time after outing judon it seems like the Falcons offseason moves were done however they brought in Justin Simmons for a meeting and with a talented secondary already that has AJ trell at cornerback and arguably the best safety in the game today and Jesse Bates adding Simmons would have been just a luxury however when it comes to the NFL injury risk is way too high and having depth is important Justin Simmons himself is one of the best safeties in the league so the Atlanta Falcons made it official by signing him to a oneyear $8 million contract not only that the Atlanta Falcons now have the best safety tandem in the game in Jesse Bates and Justin Simmons but they also prevented the New Orleans Saints who brought in Justin Simmons for a workout increasing their chances to win that NFC South and head their way to the playoffs a fantastic offseason for the Falcons finally puts them back into playoff contention if you guys enjoyed the video then check out our AFC and NFC East Division predictions appearing on screen we also got more NFL
