  1. All you salty Lions fans who just tuned in to your first Falcons In Focus to relive the pain of having an incredible talent that your team didn't know how to use properly, please. Don't worry about our hosts. Go back to Lions On The Charge or whatever videos they're putting out. We're good over here. Scott and Tori are always getting it done.

    Alright, no shots. Go back and watch the one with Jonnu Smith if you really don't understand how this particular show is supposed to go. This is all by design.

  2. I’m so glad I finished this interview because it was fun! I enjoyed learning about Jeff and the casualness of the conversation. The young lady got on my nerves at times but all in well, this is a great idea and job well done.

  3. Real funny to hear all the critics of their interview and probably most of you have never interviewed anybody and doesn't know what it takes ,I do.. but it is what it is you have your opinion I love the interview and I hope they keep on doing what they do cuz I enjoyed it.. can't wait till for the season start

  4. Jeff, If you go to Grisham Stadium in Carrollton, GA for a Friday night football game- you'll forget TEXAS! 😂🇺🇸

  5. They are SUPER white 😮‍💨… It's kinda hard to watch. Shouts out to Jeff for his professionalism because I would have been like …😮‍💨

  6. These two hosts need more training. Constantly talking over each other and the guest. The "over laughing" gives a high school journalist vibe. Relax and let it flow.

  7. How tf did this girl get this job? So obnoxious. She says “like” every other word. Get someone who knows ball plz

  8. I know Okudah is gonna really surprise a lot of people this year and Im super happy hes playing for the Falcons I cant wait for this season
