Carl Dukes of 92.9 The Game in Atlanta joined Shan & RJ to talk about what Cowboys fans should expect from the Falcons this weekend, if fans in Atlanta are satisfied with Kirk Cousins in his first season with the team, why he'd take Raheem Morris over Bill Belichick any day of the week and more!

00:00What is working out better, Falcons fans feeling better about Raheem Morris or Kirk Cousins?
00:22I think they're feeling better about Kirk Cousins.
00:24Look, week one, it was a disaster.
00:27Everybody was analyzing what he couldn't do, how immobile he was.
00:32They lose to the Steelers, 18-10.
00:34He finishes, you know, that game, I think, with 220-some-odd yards, I think it was 226.
00:40They're shut out in the second half, and everybody's losing their mind because they're like, this
00:43is not what we envisioned.
00:45Fast forward, now Kirk Cousins, 2,106 yards.
00:50Only three quarterbacks have thrown for 14 touchdown passes.
00:53He's one of them.
00:54He's gotten everybody involved, and he looks the part now.
00:57I think Falcons fans are more excited about the fact that Cousins has turned into what
01:02we thought he would be, and I think we knew what we were getting with Raheem Morris, knowing
01:06that he had been here with Dan Quinn in the past and had been with the organization.
01:10Everybody kind of had a feel for what he was going to bring.
01:12We didn't know what Cousins was going to be.
01:14So if you could go back and do the redo of Belichick or Raheem, are you still taking
01:20Morris?
01:21I am.
01:22Look, Sean, RJ, Bobby, here's the deal.
01:25Belichick wanted to come in and fire everybody.
01:27This is one of the things that didn't allow him to get the job here.
01:31And wherever he ends up this next offseason, and he'll get another opportunity, more than
01:35likely he's going to want all the power again.
01:38Once that happened, he had a great first interview, the second interview went to blank, and then
01:42it was realized by Arthur Blank, pardon the pun, that this was not going to be the right
01:47hire.
01:48Bringing in Raheem Morris brought in the energy, the youth, and the excitement, and certainly
01:52a Super Bowl-winning coach with experience and familiarity with the organization.
01:57It all played out, I think, the way it needed to, and I wouldn't change a thing.
