The Atlanta Falcons are on a two-game winning streak. Arthur Smith has been very deliberate about what Marcus Mariota brings to the table as the starting quarterback. Mark Zinno talked about the uniqueness that was on display in the Cleveland Browns games. Also, Zinno discussed that Falcons’ fans need to get used to Mariota as the starter.
The Georgia Bulldogs dropped down to number two in the college football top 25 poll. The Bulldogs seem to be in a good space because they were able to get a win on the road in the SEC. Mark Zinno talked about playoff expansion if it were in play with the current rankings. He also reiterated how much he despises expanding to a 12 team playoff.
Mark Zinno started off this segment by handing out a shovel of wisdom. He then talked about the Atlanta Braves. The Braves lost to the Miami Marlins last night 4-0. Also, Zinno talked about why the Braves have to win the National League East if they want a real shot at winning back-to-back World Series.

I just talked about this yesterday. We are stuck with Marcus this season. If you put in ridder and he doesn't pan out then that puts us in a really bad spot. Only way ridder gets in is if Marcus gets hurt or we start getting blown out
Be patient with our Starter Mariota. Hating won’t help because that’s all y’all have done since he signed.
Hey man, preciate the insight & commentary, really enjoy listening to you. But I think you could benefit from a better mic. The crackling audio is hard to listen to for extended periods of time.
Mark Zinno. The everything is okay guy. Chuckery. The keep it real guy
If the qb controversy is done then so is this season and Aurthur smith future as a head coach. "Stupidly" sticking with Mm is gonna cost him the season and eventually his job.
Aurthur smith will be fired in 2 years tops.
Rookie quarterbacks NEVER do good when you just Throw them in there without sitting on the bench and learning.
This guy here…a few days before the season opener saints vs falcons this guy here went on a saints podcast and just lambasted the falcons and Atlanta unnecessarily the hate for Atlanta got so bad that even the podcaster went too bat for Atlanta. Get this guy off the air
bad that
Every roster has what it takes to at least make it to the playoffs it's about the coach playing the right guys at the right time and who's healthy. Patterson was a nobody before the Falcons and look at him now
As soon as the postseason aspirations are out of the picture, I think it makes sense for Ridder to come in so we can see what we have in him and what we need to do in our next draft.
Needs to be a QB change, Ridder can throw better than Mariota. He has 5 turnovers in 4 games a 55% QB rating, dude is horrible, try Ridder to see what we got, if Ridder is not it, we can plan to get a QB out this next draft.
Y’all praying on Mariotas downfall just say your a Ridder fan. Mariota is better than ridder in every way. Faster, stronger, bigger, taller, more playoff wins, vet, better accuracy. Y’all are new to the NFL he had his worst game against an ELITE defense in Browns and STILL won. Y’all do t want to talk about the dropped deep TD from Byrd. He had a lot of highlights in that game. He’s 2-2 against the Hardest schedule in the NFL , almost went 4-0 with a new team new offense new team mates not much time to build chemistry but still came clutch in those moments which is all you ask for in a QB at the end of the day. He’s not a Mahomes but hea more of a Bigger Kyler Murray
I would have thought this is a run first team. In fact that is want Mariota thrives in. People yapping about Mariota don't actually know his game. So they bash.
Mariota dropped the snap because the center has been snapping high all season
This bullshit that Mariota can’t pass is totally false I’ve literally seen him thread the needle with passes all season it’s ridiculous watch film
You couldn't be more wrong. Even if Mariota plays great, he'll be replaced. Gotta know what we got with the rookie QB. Can't go into the draft w/o knowing. Arthur ain't stupid. You wanna bet on it, cocky little man?
lolol Yalll funnnny lol, the Atlanta blogs are clout chasing, not a playoff team ? The Atlanta Falcons are becoming the Titans, a run 1st offense and I've been telling everybody in these blogs that. Yall Matt Ryan is gone and he's doing terrible with the Colts, they're 1-3 the Falcons are 2-2 and almost beat 2 of the best teams in the Nfl. You ain't watching what's going on ? Or have you never watched the Tenn Titans ? The Browns came in wanting to stop the pass , they knew their front would stop the run which they planned for CP. #5 was double teamed all day., did you see it ? Every pass Marcus tried to throw to him he had 2 defenders on him.. The Browns wanted to shut down Kyle Pitts also who both #8 and #5 had a crazy day against the Seahawks and others, so most definitely they aimed to shut down the pass, which Marcus had 7 passes but was crucial passes that got scores. Here's a free lesson, If the pass is shut down and the running game is shut wth yall want Marcus to do ? lolol, This is not Madden.. When the Rb Hently came in the Browns was shocked because they didn't practice for him they practiced for a tall rb back named CP. That's when Arthur went full Titans, Coaches know when the pass is shut down, it's you guys that want other Qb's that's finding a reason to complain, the same ones that hung the Falcons on the cross in the begginning of the year.. Ridder will not play because Arthur and the GM knows the problem ain't Marcus, they had to make plans for the running game. And guess what being a Titans fan it's one thing we know, if the RTb can keep the ball on the ground ain't no reason to throw it and you should know this.. And it's the center who's hiking the ball and hitting receivers legs lol, hiking to high that's causing those couple of fumbles, he's to anxious. Go watch what happen to Matt Ryan and the snapper, same thing lol, Matt just terrible though lol. So yall can stop clout chasing with the qb thing lol, P.S. Yall ain't talking about with Marcus slipped , got up and made that crazy play , nore are yall talking about how he moves the ball down the field every game to get a score. Nor are yall talking about how bad yall defense is , they only show up at the last 1:47 seconds of the game lol, they ned to play all 4 quarters and you would'nt have to worry about the Qb having to make miracle plays.. Have a nice one lol
We needed a bigger holy war than “is Matt Ryan the problem.” Lol
I'm not ready to see Desmond Ridder yet I wouldn't mind him sitting out this whole season and holding the clipboard standing next to Arthur Smith that's where he needs to be right now so we can get a full grasp of this offense and what they're asking him to do that way when the offseason starts next year he can hit the ground running! Some people don't work out being thrown to the wolves some people come in wanting that expectation! Sometimes throwing a Young quarterback into the Wolves it just blows his confidence and he never recovers and that's why I think him holding the clipboard for this season and learning from the head coach since he calls the plays on offense that's the best person to learn from!
Indianapolis Colts lose to Titans 24-17! Matt Ryan's fumbles spoil 2nd half defensive effort! lolol ole Matty Ice lolol
fair take. i appreciate you being able to interpret Arthur's press conference. Smith's words after the game are worth more than 10,000 uneducated fans on twitter
Idea of a 12 team playoff is very interesting…
Oh shut up yess we are lucky to be in the position we are now
Go with what brought you up.And ridder didn't bring them up.Mariota did.
IF MARIOTA PLAYED A FULL GAME AGAINT THE RAMS AND THE SAINTS .THE FALCONS WOULD BE 5-0
