Dukes & Bell

Carl and Abe get back into more conversation on Kirk Cousins' appearance on 'Quarterback' discuss whether or not the Falcons' QB should be shouldering blame for the downslide of their season since he did not come forward about his injury and if Raheem Morris should be taking just as much of the blame for his role in not benching Cousins once he recognized something was not right with how he was playing.

Carl and Abe are joined by Tony Gwynn Jr. as they discuss the Braves' struggles and why they are too talented of a team to not run it back with the same roster next season.

Carl and Abe come back with more thoughts on Kirk Cousins' comments on quarterback to which Carl believes the veteran quarterback simply needs to say "I'm sorry" for not coming forward about being injured, while Abe believes Raheem Morris also should have to apologize for not "making the tough decision" to bench Cousins when it was obvious Cousins was dealing with an ailment.

Carl and Abe open up the show with their reactions to Kirk Cousins comments made on the Netflix series 'Quarterback' in which he stated he felt misled by the Falcons after signing with the team and then watching them draft Michael Penix Jr. As they discuss, Abe shares that after watching the entire series, his frustration is with Raheem Morris for not making the call to bench Kirk Cousins once he realized the veteran quarterback was injured. Carl also notes he believes Cousins' statement in which he said had he known the Falcons would make the move of drafting Penix Jr. he may have altered his decision, alluding to possibly considering staying with the Vikings, to which Carl believes was not an actual option for Cousins.
