Falcons

Falcons HC Dan Quinn mentioned that he believes assistant HC Raheem Morris will be a head coach in the NFL again โ€œsooner than later.โ€

โ€œI do think so, and I hope that itโ€™s sooner than later. Heโ€™s really equipped to do that. So when his chance comes, thatโ€™s what I hope his next step is.โ€ Quinn said, via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan explained that working on the offensive side of the ball really helped to round out Morrisโ€™ skill set and should aid him as a head coach down the road.

โ€œRaheem has always been a great defensive coach,โ€ Shanahan told McClure. โ€œAnd now, to have the experience on offense the past two years, puts him at the top of the tier. He has more energy than any coach Iโ€™ve ever been around, and he can connect with any type of player or coach. Heโ€™s more than ready to be a head coach again.โ€

Rams

Former Rams legend Eric Dickerson believes they should bench former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff in favor of Sean Mannion.

โ€œFor me, my guy that I would start the season with is Sean Mannion,โ€ Dickerson said Friday on โ€œThe Herdโ€ via NFL.com. โ€œIโ€™ve been saying that since last year. Give him a shot. You drafted him. He was great at โ€” whereโ€™d he go to school? โ€” Oregon State, playing in a pro-style offense. Heโ€™s a big guy, got a great arm.โ€

โ€œLook when you win, that [Fisher] situation would have never been there. I think you had a better chance of winning with Sean Mannion. I think even this year they start with Sean Mannion.โ€
