New Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris met with his team for the first time Tuesday, as the franchise began its early preparations for the 2024 football season.

The team's official social media account posted a video of Morris meeting with the team for the first time, firing up players for what's to come.

"I want us to be world-class in everything we do. ... We're going to identify some problems and we're going to attack them," Morris said.

The key to doing that? Establishing an identity, Morris said.

"Let's start working on our identity," Morris continued. "Identity doesn't come to life until you start working on this stuff. ... I want this to be competitive, I want this to be tough, and I want this to be a physical football team. Let the results land where they may."

Today is Day 1 of The Plan 😤

NFL fans loved Morris's approach and his speech to his new team. Here are some of the best reactions from social media to Atlanta's first team meeting with its new head coach.

I didn't hate Arthur Smith like a lot of fans, I felt he was handcuffed in a lot of ways but it's great to have this energy back. Smith had the charisma and energy of a turnip.

I’m not a falcons fan but dam he reminded me of the corps. I like that. I don’t know his background but he will be a good coach if he can communicate the way he did here

I like his communication and the message he brings. Now it's up to the players to listen and become invested. It all starts here.

Go get it Falcon's, get those fans back in the seats.

I’ll say this: Coach Morris can definitely talk the talk. If he gets this team to buy in and walk the walk, the sky’s the limit.
