HR3 - Tua Tagovailoa’s reason for picking Falcons may give insight to QB competition
In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, talk about what they expect to hear from Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as he addresses the media for the first time today since since signing with the Falcons, talk about how they’ll be interested to hear what Tagovailoa has to say when he’s asked about what the conversation was like between himself, Falcons General Manager Ian Cunningham, Falcons Head Coach Kevin Stefanski, and possibly Falcons President of Football Matt Ryan that ultimately led to him signing here and choosing the Falcons, and continue to react to what Atlanta Falcons Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich had to say about what to expect from Falcons linebacker/edge rusher Jalon Walker in his second season and what Walker’s role could be in year two when he spoke to a reporter at Georgia's Pro Day last week. Then, Mike, Ali, and Beau spend some time with former college basketball coach and now college basketball analyst for CBS Sports Dan Bonner! Mike, Ali, Beau, and Dan discuss what’s been the most surprising thing Dan has seen so far in this year’s NCAA Tournament, why Dan thinks Iowa Hawkeyes forward Alvaro Folgueiras didn’t get ejected after it looked like he maybe threw a punch at Florida Gators forward Alex Condon but it was ruled that he was trying to punch at the ball during the first half of the NCAA Tournament second round matchup between Iowa and Florida, why Dan thinks Duke struggled in their first two NCAA Tournament games, if Dan has been surprised that older college basketball coaches like John Calipari and Rick Pitino have been able to continuously evolve with the game, with the college sports landscape, and continue to be able to relate to players and have success, if Dan thinks Arkansas Razorbacks guard Darius Acuff Jr. is good enough to lead Arkansas to a national championship, who Dan thinks is the best player left in the NCAA Tournament, if Dan has seen anything that has changed his mind when it comes to who he thinks is going to win the national championship this year, and what Dan thinks Alabama has to do to beat Michigan in their Sweet 16 matchup. The Morning Shift crew also continues to talk about the activities they all did last night during the Atlanta Hawks home game against the Memphis Grizzlies as a part of 92.9 The Game night, talk about what type of activities and activations they would try to avoid next year at 92.9 The Game night, and then close out hour three by answering people’s questions about anything in the Morning Mailbag!
