Raheem Morris took a shot at the Atlanta Falcons’ current quarterback situation, without much subtlety, when he spoke at the NFL scouting combine Tuesday in Indianapolis.
“If we had better quarterback play, I’m probably not standing here at this podium,” Morris said.
Morris, who takes over as head coach from Arthur Smith, who was fired Jan. 8, didn’t name names. But he clearly implied that Atlanta intends to bring in new blood at the quarterback position. The Falcons used both Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder as starting quarterbacks in compiling a 7–10 record last season.
