What comes next for Terry Fontenot, Arthur Smith after 2022 season | Falcons Final Whistle

Scott, Tori and Ashton discuss what should be a fascinating offseason for the Falcons franchise, with the 2022 season officially in the rearview. We evaluate quarterback Desmond Ridder’s four NFL starts and why he deserves the right to compete for the starting gig. We also preview the offseason and identify pressing needs that must be filled in free agency and the NFL Draft, which players to re-sign and which players they should extend now that the Falcons have tons of salary-cap space and quality draft capital.

I love what I see from the young guys! Ridder has gotten better each game, I believe in him 💯

GodsRightSock

so proud of the potential this team holds especially with how the 2023 schedule looks😫

TRENCHES NEWS JEWELS 💎

Start time stamping these videos please and thank you

Emperor Scoop

Desmond Ridder is the guy! If pitts was here n 1 more good receiver. he will be a pro bowler next year.

Emperor Scoop

He’ll prove ya!” wrong! Ridder is a WINNER! thats al its about

Oblivion Empire

I liked carter i think he did ok but it all depends on how much they all want

Ernest Brown2

A must cut franks wtf he’s on the team don’t know! draft good& look for some good free agents. we got a 💎 in riddder only if coach smith made that change at qb early rise 🆙 next year will be good for us.

Jo01

Falcons should sign a proven backup with experience to backup Ridder. I don’t think Smith and Fontenot will go to their most crucial season with just Ridder.

    SportsLiveInTheAtl

    Facts 100%. But If Falcons can Get Jackson Carr or even Rodgers I would def do it.

falconfan1990

Ridder is a winner , and in my opinion has earned the right to be the guy.

michael mitchell

If marcus was a starter then Ridder being the starter next year is a no brainer. Don’t go broke again trying to get a QB and have not no money to build out the team.

Earl Thompson

I’m on the fence about QB. They should have started him earlier so we could of seen what we really have. The last two games were essentially glorified preseason games. Would hate for us to be wrong and potentially miss out on a franchise QB

    Jamaal Grant

    🤣🤣

Jeremy Schneidt

I think the sign of just the running game development says the change is happening in the right direction. The defense not giving up as many points down the stretch shows positive signs.

Joseph Smith

RIDDLE RIDDLE RIDDLE! I was saying this at the halfway point of the season. Better late than never. I am sure there is going to be a high level meeting soon with Author Blanks and the Falcons brain trust about Riddle and the QB position. I loved loved loved what I saw out of Riddle in the 4 games including his game management. I would sign a #2 veteran QB without an ego to stand side by side with Riddle as he continues to develop. That would be the smart move. At 62 years old, I can see a winner and Riddle is it.

SportsLiveInTheAtl

I dont even have to listen to this show to know what Falcons must do this Offseason. 1. Defense Pass Rush is the TOP Priority 2. Get a Vet QB who can play and win. I’m not sold 100% on Ridder Starting At this Point. Although he looked good Today. He is improving. 3 Add a WR or 2 4. Get Some O line Help. Not alot. 5 Get a Good Offensive Coordinator. They have a Awesome shot to turn This Around Next Season. So don’t screw This Up

Devon McFly

I’m feeling good about the future! I think Zo Carter proved at the right price he should be on the roster next year

Trenten98

Love the podcast guys you should definitely do a weekly podcast throughout the offseason

Antonio Mahoney

I think we should’ve started Ridder a lot sooner to give him a bigger sample size… Defense should definitely be the focus in the draft.

    Kooligan

    stop speaking in hindsight this was probably the best outcome , minus falcons losing more games but now he has game exp and can get another offseason

peter grangaard

what are your thoughts on Parker Hesse? How has he done? is he around another year?

Lil_V839 Nicholas V

Anybody notice, he is undefeated at home. 🤣 still!!! But IMO the priorities are, CB, DL, Edge, WR2, and some OL help

dcw3483

I hope they don’t overspend on marinal players
