It's going on, brother. Thank you for having me back on. Thank you for being here. Hey, man, listen, love that hat.

You already know, that's that, that's their old school.

Oh, I love the old school. Like, it's just such a great look. The red helmet with the gold streak, the black jersey up top, the white pants. Like, we just made it so complicated. The Falcons have I mean, I would even take the Vic Aera jerseys with the black helmet, the black top, and the silver pants.

Like, we had this great thing. It was all great. And we just,

we refused. Like, I just, I would love to get it back because it was so good. So clean. Facts. Facts. And let's just hope. I don't know. Like, let's, this wasn't on my rundown, But I was talking to some folks about this today because, like, I saw, was it Kuiper?

Someone mocked in their final mock draft, I saw, was it Kuiper?

Someone mocked in their final mock draft, James Pierce, to the Falcons at 15. And I was like, I don't want this in my life because I love James Pierce. But if he doesn't work here in Atlanta, it's going to bother me. And I don't want to look at James Pierce and be like, he wasn't a three-down guy. He didn't break the sack streak where the Falcons haven't had a pass rusher get seven or more sacks and an NFL record. It's like five or six years in a row. I'm like, I don't want to put that on him. I don't want him to be the next version of Vic Beasley. I want to have a positive. Like Cordero, we had him for a couple years. Awesome. I got to enjoy Cordero Patterson in a Falcons uniform. I don't want to have a posit. Like, Cordero, we had him for a couple of years. Awesome. I got to enjoy Cordero, Patterson, in a Falcons uniform. I don't want to do this with James Pierce. I just can't. I can't do it. Yeah, man, I would be ecstatic if we got James Pierce. And actually, if you go back to Beasley, was that his first season at the Falcons winter Super Bowl? He had a really good

first year, I think. That's a good question. Yeah, he had one great year. And then that was it.

After that, everything just fizzled out. Yeah. I mean, I would be okay with Pierce if you, like, traded back and you got him in the late first or early second and you got somebody else. So it's like, hey, like, he's not being expected.

Good draft value. I don't know.

But just 15, man.

Like, there's going to be expectations there.

There's going to be expectations there's going to be there's going to be there's going to be some expectations and i also need

to see terry faunner draft a defensive player in the first round yeah she has not done i think ever

as the uh falcons gym i mean you have drake london kyle pits be john robinson michaelock. So yeah, it's not really been their MO. So we'll see if they've been draft an edge. We'll see. It's just, it's going to be fun regardless. Yeah, listen, it's not going to be fun if we don't. I mean, we need to go draft the edge. I don't think he has a choice. We'll run his butt on up out of town if he don't do that. Oh my gosh.

Just don't know tight end.

Can you imagine like a Lovstad or something, man, to get a Kyle Pitts replacement? Goodness gracious. No way. No way. Can't do it. But we are going to talk some Tennessee football here, man. and the first thing I want to, because now it's official, and you've done some great work,

looking at the tape here of New Tennessee.

I'm not going to say starting quarterback, because I still think, I have my reasons as to why I'm still suspect as to whether or not he's going to be Tennessee's week one starter against the Orangeman in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz. But Joey Aguilar coming in, you know what's going to drive me nuts too.
