Speaker 1: Falcons follow the Carolina Panthers on the road thirty two.

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Unfortunately zero in that game.

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Gentlemen, I don't know about you guys the last two days,

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: but I've fielded a ton of questions about did you

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: watch the Falcons game.

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: And what happened?

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: Right?

27
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Like I mean that those are It seems like that

28
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: is the question that everybody's been asking.

29
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: So guess what, DJ, I'm gonna throw it.

30
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 4: Back at you.

31
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: Hey, DJ, come on, shot.

32
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: I figured out what happened.

33
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: Bro, what's so crazy is? Man is I got like buddies.

34
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: I got friends who are like die hard Falcon fans

35
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: and they text me and it's like the sky has fallen.

36
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: We gotta I had to do text me and say shop,

37
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: tell me truth, pink slip tomorrow right, I'm like, bro.

38
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: Come on.

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: One guy asked me, hey, oh week three, Oh week

40
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: week three, it's Kirk Starr next week. I'm like, bro,

41
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: come on, like for like, yeah, it was a bad

42
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: day at the office. It happens, and I don't know

43
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: if you know, fans hate to see it. I had

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: to realize that I know thirty and none. That's probably

45
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: the bottom of the barrel. And you don't expect your

46
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: team to play like that, and just they look from

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: a lot of different facets, but it happens. You have

48
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: bad days, you play badly. I think if you've ever

49
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: played a sport, if you've ever done something you're really

50
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: passionate about, you've had a day where things did not

51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: go your way, and that's exactly what happened with our

52
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: fougers on Sunday. Everything possible did not go our way,

53
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 3: and we end up, you know, losing the ball game

54
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: and we're gonna go through. But there are a lot

55
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: of things that you can point out. There are a

56
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: lot of situations in the game. There are a lot

57
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: of things that you say, you know, what we could

58
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: have done better at that, we could have you know,

59
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: played a little bit better in this spot. But ultimately,

60
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: in this day and age, where you're in week three,

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: you get a chance to go do it again next week,

62
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: improve yourself again. And you look at the week before

63
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: you play sunlit football. You go be a really good

64
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: team on the road, You come up next week and

65
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: you don't play your best football. Now you get a

66
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: chance to play another really good team and you get

67
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: to play them at home, and you get a chance

68
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 3: to kind of kind of lick your wounds a little

69
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: bit and get back to work. And that's a great

70
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: thing about having this season is it's earlier u where

71
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: you can make some changes and you can try to

72
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: write the ship.

73
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: Hey, shock, guys, I'm still in fan Moult here. Arch

74
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Arch but here's the problem, Like, how how did it happen?

75
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: After they come off of the performance against Minnesota, like

76
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: they played so good? How does that happen in the

77
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: very next week?

78
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: That's the follow up question.

79
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. And styles make fights obviously, and and

80
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: and certain certain things go your way in games that

81
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 4: change the ebb and flow of the game, maybe change

82
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: your game plan.

83
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

84
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: Shock touched on a lot of it in the fact that, Okay,

85
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: do we do we have a problem? Yes, the thing

86
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: that I think you immediately have to do. Okay, what

87
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: what went wrong? And how do we go about fixing it?

88
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: And I think the Atlanta is in the process of

89
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: the Falcons are in the process of trying to do that.

90
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: They've made some adjustments and we'll talk about those. But ultimately,

91
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: you got a young quarterback that just played a sixth game. Okay,

92
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: I think back to my career. My sixth game, I

93
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: didn't know where I was coming or going, you know,

94
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: and and to do all the things you have to

95
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: do nowadays the process, get plays called process, get the

96
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, change things. It's so situational now. Shock

97
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: at the line of scrimmage as far as what you do,

98
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 4: so that part of the process needs to be helped out,

99
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 4: and I think they've tried to address some of that.

100
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: We'll talk a little bit about that.

101
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: But.

102
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: The ebb and flow of a season, if you don't

103
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: bring your best, you can get embarrassed. And I remember

104
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: my first year as a starter here we started four

105
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: and oh and we got shut out by the Eagles

106
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: at home, and we were averaging thirty two points a

107
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: game on offense and we lost seventeen to nothing. And

108
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 4: you're thinking, I'm sure the fan went home going what

109
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: did I just see? The next week we came out

110
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: and beat the Rams and we're off and running again.

111
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 4: So things can flow back and forth. You just got

112
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: to make sure see nobody had seen Michael have a

113
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: bad day. I mean he's had some bally off, he's

114
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: had some bad practices. This just in John L Joe Montana.

115
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 4: I mean, go down the line.

116
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 3: No way, I had bad days, had bad days.

117
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: How about Lamar Jackson last night? Yeah, right in the

118
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Monday night game, right, he didn't have a great game.

119
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: Hei they got sack seven times. You know he's an

120
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: MVP caliber player. Now, granted they scored points, but everybody

121
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: has bad performances and fellas. Here's kind of some of

122
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: the conversations that I was having with some people recently, is,

123
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: you know, we all live in the Southeast, right, so

124
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: we're privy to the SEC football on the college level.

125
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: And here's the difference in the college level in my opinion, Right,

126
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: Georgia can play Austin p or Tennessee can play East

127
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee State and they can play bad and they'll still

128
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: win because they're just better players. They just have supremely

129
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: higher talent on their roster. Okay, the NFL is completely different.

130
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: That you play a team that's OZ and two guess

131
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: what they got some ball players on their team.

132
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: Okay, they have Pro.

133
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Bowl caliber players, they have superstars. They have coaches that

134
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: are very good, play callers, understand schemes, understand how to

135
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: attack previous week's game film. And if you don't bring

136
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: your a game every week, it doesn't matter what the

137
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: opponent record is because the guys on the other team

138
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: are fighting for a job every single week too. They

139
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: want to stay on the roster, much like everybody player

140
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: on the Atlanta Falcons roster does. They want to stay

141
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: on the roster. So that's the difference, in my opinion,

142
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: between the college game and the NFL game is if

143
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: you don't bring your a game or if everything is off,

144
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: you will get embarrassed. And it's happened to I had

145
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: to go back and look fellas and in my career

146
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: actually three times six years with the Falcons, two with Seattle,

147
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: I got shut out three times.

148
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: And you guys know how those weeks are afterwards. Shock.

149
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 2: Tell everybody that has not had the.

150
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: Privy of being in a building the week after you

151
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: get smoked, what is life like the next week at

152
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: practice after a game like that?

153
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: I guess if the best thing that I can use

154
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: is you come home and you've said something to your

155
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: wife and you know you ultimately regret it, and you

156
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: come home and you're walking on eggshells. That's kind of

157
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: how it is walking in the building again. It's like, man,

158
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: it could be some real changes. Some guys could really

159
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: have their jobs and job and the tough part about

160
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: it is we would always have what a lot of

161
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: teams have now, which is like a tele truth Monday

162
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: or I mean, we came in and it was team

163
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: mean first thing and you put up all the things

164
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: in front of your teammates everything that went wrong or

165
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: a guy not hustling or a guy not doing his job,

166
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: and you put it right there on front Street, so

167
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: everybody knows exactly where you're staying and what is the

168
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: standard of what should be. And when you came off

169
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: a game like that, there's nobody who can hold their

170
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: head high and say, you know what, I did my

171
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: job right, because you better not say that, because obviously

172
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: you ain't do good enough a job to help the

173
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: guy next to you, or you could have done more.

174
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: And there's always that in every single ball game, period.

175
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: But when you get shut out like that, there is

176
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: a new found respect that you gotta have for the

177
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: job that you're doing. And I think you got to

178
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: attack it a little bit differently because obviously you didn't

179
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: bring your lunch pail that week, and you got to

180
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: make sure that you do better the next week. So

181
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: it's always one of those tougher weeks because everybody feels

182
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: the wrath of what just happened, and quite frankly, you

183
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: feel embarrassed and you have to find a way to

184
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: get out the snide and nobody wants to feel that way.

185
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: Everybody's got some pride about theirselves, especially at this level.

186
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: And like you mentioned, everybody's good, but you expect to

187
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: still be very competitive. And if you don't score or

188
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: you don't go out and play what you're supposed to,

189
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta, you gotta bring a different mindset.

190
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, these moments are gonna will test what you've built, okay,

191
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: And there's a pretty good feeling about what the chemistry

192
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: and the culture, if you want to use that word

193
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 4: is about. This will test that. Okay. You usually find

194
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: more out about yourself. And I don't care what walk

195
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 4: of life you're in when adversity strikes, as opposed to

196
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: when everything's going good. Right, So every thing was going

197
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: good last week, now it's not and it's gone completely

198
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: the other direction. How do you respond? And if you

199
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: have the right culture and the right guys, which I

200
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 4: think you do, I think that ultimately those guys are

201
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: going to respond and they're going to double down, as

202
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 4: Shock was talking about, on their effort. It's a team game,

203
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: but individually, what do I need to do to take

204
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 4: it to another level? And it's not just the players,

205
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 4: it's the coaches and everybody coming together, but taking their

206
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: individual piece and saying Okay, we got to reapply here.

207
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: We didn't get things done last week to our level

208
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: of expertise. We need to redouble down on that kind

209
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 4: of stuff. And I think that's the thing you hope for.

210
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: That's what the thing you hope you've built so when

211
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: you get embarrassed, and that was an embarrassing loss. You

212
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: had two phases of the game that really didn't play

213
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: anywhere near NFL caliber football, and your defense tried to

214
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 4: hold onto the rope the best they could, but the

215
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: vow broke.

216
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: I've said this many a times and I'll say this

217
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: again after a performance like this, is the last thing

218
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: that I'm going to do, and I think us three

219
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: are going to do up here, is make excuses, because

220
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: you make excuses in the National Football League, and that's

221
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: what gets you cut and that's what gets you beat.

222
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: Right.

223
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: The one thing I can say that I would say

224
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate is listening to Raheem Morris's press conference along

225
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: with Michael Pennix, and yet they did ask him the

226
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: questions about the headset and stuff. But both the head

227
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: coach and the quarterback, we're not making any excuses about

228
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: the headset. They said, that's not the reason why we

229
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: lost the game. We got to be better. We've got

230
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: to find a way to work through situations like that.

231
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: Michael Pennocks, you young quarterback, took a lot of responsibility,

232
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: owned up to it. Yeah, I missed some passes. I'm

233
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: not going to make excuses as to why I got

234
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: to play better. I got to hit those passes. Your

235
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: head coach saying that he's got to do things better.

236
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: We had a good week of practice, but apparently it

237
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough. We're gonna have to so so to

238
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: your point, generally, practice this week is going to be

239
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: ratcheted up a little bit more and the smiles on

240
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: the people's faces will not be present too much this week, Archie,

241
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: you alluded to it. A couple of changes that have

242
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: come down for the organization. Atlanta Falcons have decided to

243
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: release wide receiver coach I Killiard, so TJ. Yates, who's

244
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: been the wide receiver coach here previously back in twenty

245
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: two and twenty three, he will take over the wide

246
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: receiver coach duties for the rest of the season. He

247
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: was the passing game coordinator as well as bringing Zach

248
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: Robinson from the booth down from the field.

249
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: Those two changes.

250
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: What do you think that does for the players on

251
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: the offense as far as the message sent and how

252
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the adjustments now on the sideline are going to happen

253
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: differently versus when Robinson was upstairs.

254
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 4: Well, you just mentioned the first piece of it. Message sent.

255
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 4: We're not standing pat. That was unacceptable. We just put

256
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: out there as a product for our fan base, for

257
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: us as a team. We're gonna we're gonna do some

258
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: things to rattle the cages a little bit. The receiver

259
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: corps have not been what they year were a year ago.

260
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: Let's be honest. Those guys are not making enough plays.

261
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: Is it because of routes run? Is it because they're

262
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 4: spacing and distribution? Well, that's going to be addressed. That's

263
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 4: going to be looked at. And so unfortunately, I kill

264
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 4: your is released, and so you move on from there.

265
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: Zach Robinson coming down from my perspective, puts him face

266
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: to face with his young quarterback. It's one thing to

267
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: get on the headset and talk to the guy upstairs

268
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: and you go over a couple of things, look at

269
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: the pad and all this kind of stuff. But when

270
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 4: he's sitting right next to you and he can look

271
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: in your face and he can see some of the concerns,

272
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: some of those kind of things. There's a human element

273
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 4: attached that, just like he is in practice, Zach Robinson's

274
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: standing right next to him in practice. This is a

275
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: guy that's played six football games in National Football League?

276
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 4: How much can I help him do his job? And remember,

277
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 4: the headset cuts off at fifteen seconds. I can't talk

278
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 4: to him if I'm on the sideline and he's not sure.

279
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: Now I don't have to relay it to one guy

280
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: and then him relay it out to or he can't

281
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 4: even really he's trying to yell, pull his headset down

282
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 4: to yell. Now I'm there and we can talk to

283
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: one another. So it simplifies the operation. I think there'll

284
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: be some some other things that they'll do to help

285
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 4: simplify for Michael what he's going to have to do

286
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: on the field. And I'm sure the coaches are going

287
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 4: through their process of Okay, how much do I need?

288
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 4: How much more do I need to get the play

289
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: in a little bit sooner. They're evaluating all the situations here.

290
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: They know this is unaccepted, it's unacceptable to their standard,

291
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: So what can we do to help Michael be better.

292
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: And some of it has to do with the guys

293
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: playing around him better. A lot of it has to

294
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: do with the guys playing around him better. And then

295
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 4: how do I help with the process of getting plays

296
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: in and out, getting people in and out so I

297
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: can simplify it so all he has to do is

298
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 4: call it and get the line of scrimmage so he

299
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 4: can start to process what's happening.

300
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: At the line of scrim To your point, archs Rahie

301
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: Moore said that in his Monday press conference, is that

302
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: everybody around Michael's got to play better. It wasn't just

303
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: on Michael Pennick. Yeah, he was fifty percent, but he

304
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: said after they looked at the tape, everybody in this

305
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: offense has got to play better around him. I want

306
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: to get your opinion, shock, have you had an opportunity,

307
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: either in your college and or NFL playing career where

308
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: you had a offensive play caller up in the box

309
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: and one down on the sideline, and what your experience

310
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: has been with either or both of them.

311
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had both in college and here with the

312
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: Falcons where you had a guy up in the booth

313
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: you had got down for me I thought having a

314
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: guy who was on the field was big too. Obviously,

315
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: like ARJ mentioned for everything, he mentioned that part of

316
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: the communication I think is a little bit different because

317
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: you can actually talk like straight to the guy's face

318
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: and he could see some of the things that like,

319
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: sometimes we failed to realize the emotion of the game

320
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: that's going on right in the midst of it. And

321
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: sometimes you can talk to a guy upstairs and you

322
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: can hear him talk, and you know, you can have

323
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: a conversation and say, all right, this is what we're

324
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: gonna do, and the guy says, okay. But if I'm

325
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: sitting next to you and we're going through stuff and

326
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: I can see you, maybe your eye goes a little

327
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: here it goes and you have a little bit of

328
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what's going on. I can understand

329
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: and notice that while I'm on the sideline, And I

330
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: had coaches who could could see that and notice that,

331
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: and then they would say, did you not like that?

332
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: Was that something that you know? Was you know, you

333
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: want to work on you or you want to find

334
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: something better? And I think that's part of the equation,

335
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: is just the feel of it. Down on the field.

336
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: There's something different than being down and being up. Now,

337
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: a lot of teams have successful guys being up in

338
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: the box, get up in the booth and made to

339
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: talk to it because you have somebody down on the

340
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: ground like a twoja two, you know, can be the

341
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: enemary between both of them. But I think this is

342
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: just a situation where, like argument, you got a younger quarterback,

343
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: You got to offensive coordinator who is going into his

344
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: second year of calling plays, and you want to make

345
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: sure that the entire communication from how you feel situationally,

346
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: what's going on in the game, everything is how you

347
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: want to be once you hit the ball game, how

348
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: you hit the field. So I think it's a lot

349
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: to him coming down. We'll see how it, you know,

350
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: actually transfers over if there's a change.

351
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

352
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm glad they're looking for solutions to

353
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: the situations.

354
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: A great point shock, they're looking for something to do.

355
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: And people say, well, yeah, but Zach was upstairs last

356
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 4: year when Michael played his three games. From a scenario standpoint, okay,

357
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: here you're getting your young quarterback and he's getting to

358
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: play at the end of the season, and so there

359
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 4: was a different kind of flavor to that he now

360
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 4: is your starting guy and you're trying to go make

361
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 4: make the playoffs. Not that you weren't trying to make

362
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: the playoffs, but you're up against it a little bit

363
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: late in the year last year where everything had to

364
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: break for you to make that happen. This is a

365
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 4: scenario where early in the year and you're trying to

366
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: go win a division. You're going to try and to

367
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: and so how your quarterback's feeling about stuff. Shock makes

368
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: a great point in that I can look at you, Rack,

369
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: and I can see in your eyes what's going on.

370
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to get weird with it or anything

371
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: like that, but we're if we're on the pad and

372
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 4: you're trying to talk to me from upstairs and you say,

373
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: you see the linebacker here, you know, I can actually

374
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: point to stuff. I can visially, we can have a

375
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: physical interaction here. Look right here. This is what I

376
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: want you to look at. That little piece of communication.

377
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 4: Albeit you may think it's true, that's a big deal.

378
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 4: And you got certain amount of time between series to

379
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: try to figure out what's going on, so you can

380
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: make that adjustment. Here's where your eyes should be, you know,

381
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 4: and you try to say that from upstairs, but I

382
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 4: can physically show him there's there's something to that. Obviously,

383
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: the Falcons Feelercaud's something to it. That's why they made this,

384
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: made this move. Let's hope it works, you know, because

385
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 4: you do the thing that I love what Shaques said.

386
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 4: They're not letting it just fester and say, Okay, it'll

387
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 4: be better next week. They're saying, no, let's address it.

388
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: Let's help our quarterback the best we can.

389
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: You know, one final comment I want to make on

390
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: Carolina and then we're gonna move on.

391
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 3: Guys.

392
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: Is a lot of people again in the last two days,

393
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: have been asking me, well, how do we fix this?

394
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 2: Right?

395
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: It's like you have a performance like this and everybody

396
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: wants to know what's the fix. Okay, Well, first of

397
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: allf we had the fix, we probably wouldn't be sitting

398
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: here for the microphones right. Second of all, the fix

399
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL isn't always just right in front of you, right.

400
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: It's not just oh, it's a two or three different

401
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: play calls, or it's a catch here or there. Like

402
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: a game like last weekend was a lot of things

403
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: that did not go right. We didn't even get into

404
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: special teams, and we had a kicker that went five

405
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: or five the first week in zero for two the

406
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: second week, and the very first opportunity we had missed

407
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: the field goal. Kind of brings the whole mood down

408
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: a little bit. Right, didn't play good in the return game, Okay,

409
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: so it kind of goes back to the first week

410
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: of the season. I'm going to go first here and

411
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: then I want to get your guys' opinion, because I

412
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: think it's two things that are not necessarily x's and

413
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: o's on the football field in a situation like this.

414
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: I think it's number one. It's accountability. Like you as

415
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: a player and you as a coach, got to be

416
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: accountable for what you're doing, and you kind of talked

417
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: about it a little bit earlier. You can't be the

418
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: player that's saying, well, I did my job well?

419
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: Did you do your job?

420
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: Did you make your teammate next to you better? Did

421
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: you get the tackle when you had an arm out

422
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: there and he ended up breaking through the arm and

423
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: you could have brought your legs better, right, A lot

424
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: of different areas and accountability, which means you need to

425
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: step your level of play up unless you want to

426
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: get embarrassed like that again. Number two is leadership, and

427
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: I think this both from the veterans on the team

428
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: and guess what he can also come from your second

429
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: year quarterback that has been elected a captain. I'm just

430
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: saying it doesn't have to be a guy that's in

431
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: a six or seventh year. Leadership comes in different forms,

432
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: but accountability leadership can work together if guys are saying, fellas,

433
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: this is not good enough, this is not our standard,

434
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: and we are not going to get embarrassed like this again.

435
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: And so when it go, when you go out to

436
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: the practice field, when you start challenging people. I'll never

437
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: forget shock Nakobe Dean that won to play on the

438
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: field where he went and grabbed one of his teammates

439
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: by the front of his jersey and got all up

440
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: in his face mask and I don't know what he said,

441
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: but I'm sure there was some choice words that was

442
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: something like, we don't do that here right. Sometimes those

443
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: statements is what really gets.

444
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: Somebody like, oh, he ain't playing right.

445
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget like hearing the stories about how

446
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady would basically say, if you don't do this right,

447
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: you will not be on the field with me. Right,

448
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: If I can't count on you to do this or

449
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: or do it this way, you will not be on

450
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: the field. When people step up like that, Like to me,

451
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: that's a different level of leadership. So to me, guys,

452
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: accountability and leadership arch maybe more big picture or what

453
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: the fix is. But what do you think needs to

454
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: happen this week so that type of performance doesn't happen again?

455
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 4: Well, I think it starts the first day they go

456
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 4: out there and practice. They did a little bit on Monday.

457
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: We're recording this on a Tuesday. This is the player's

458
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: day off. I've already seen a ton of players here already.

459
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 4: You guys talked about accountability. What can I do to

460
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: make sure I step it up? And I think that

461
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 4: sometimes it's not necessarily maybe grabbing a guy by the

462
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: scruff of the neck. It's actually when I come in,

463
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 4: I already see Michael doing this, or I already see

464
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 4: Drake London doing that, or John Robinson or Kaden Ellis,

465
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: And so when I get here, I see that they

466
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 4: step things up a little bit and there's a sense

467
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 4: of urgency to go about our business a little bit

468
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: different way. Double down, I said, Double down on what

469
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 4: your effort can be and that becomes the team concept

470
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 4: of it. But the thing that you cannot do is

471
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 4: and I know that fans do this and that's why

472
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: they're fans. Is you panic. Okay, you've got to understand that. Okay,

473
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 4: our work ethic is this what didn't we do last week.

474
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 4: Let's make sure we make the adjustments to that, both

475
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: coach and player, and then we apply that. Because you

476
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 4: start panicking now all of a sudden, it puts second

477
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 4: guessing in your mind. You can't second guess how to

478
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: read a route. I understand Michael Pennicks drops to throw.

479
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 4: This is how we're reading this route. I can't all

480
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: of a sudden start second guessing that. But if i

481
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 4: have a sense of urgency at receiver and I'm getting

482
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 4: into my routes, and I'm helping my quarterback from a

483
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 4: spacing standpoint, and I'm working my rear end off from

484
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: a protection standpoint, just to give them that little extra time,

485
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 4: and I get that play in where he gots a

486
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: chance to process what's going on the line of scrimmage,

487
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 4: then everybody's working in concert with one another to take

488
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 4: it to another level.

489
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: Shock What comes to your mind and that like kind

490
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: of big pick sure, like how does this team rebound

491
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: from a performance like this so it doesn't happen again.

492
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 3: I think you guys have been spot on with what

493
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: you talked about, especially both of you guys talking about accountability.

494
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 3: Part about doing it and not being one is just

495
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: talking about it, just showing by action. I think that's

496
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: a big part. I think the other part it goes,

497
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: you know, kind of on the line of what you

498
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 3: guys just talked about. But I think each guy has

499
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: to be honest with their self about what happened in

500
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: the ball game. And I think you go back you

501
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: watch the filmily, like you mentioned, there's spots where you know, what, hey,

502
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: we've said a million times is just to play that

503
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: I could have did something better that could affect it,

504
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 3: maybe the outcome of a series. Maybe this was a

505
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 3: situation where I could have played a little bit better,

506
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: play a little bit harder, or you know, ran to

507
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: the football a bit hard, whatever the situation may be.

508
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 3: I think I had to be honest with yourself first,

509
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: and then the second part about it is what I

510
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: think they've already done. And I've seen tons of interviews.

511
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: I've seen arts talking to them after the game. A

512
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: lot of guys did a really good job of encouraging

513
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 3: and being there for their other brother. Obviously, Michael Pennings

514
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: have the day they wanted, and I heard every guy

515
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: to a t talk about how they still believe in him.

516
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 3: The comments they have, they know what he's about. And

517
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 3: I think you have to have some of that within

518
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 3: your team to go to those guys and say, you

519
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: know what, this wasn't the best week, but guess what,

520
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: we still believe in you. And as a young guy,

521
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: that would go a long way from me that here's

522
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 3: a guy that's playing in the league ten years and

523
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: he's coming to encourage me. I heard Bijian talking about it.

524
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: I heard Katy Nelly's talking about it. You got guys

525
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: who are in those leadership roles and they're going to

526
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: pick their guys up because the end of the day,

527
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: it's hard to get away from the social media. It's

528
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: hard to get away from what everybody's saying. Everybody's got

529
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: family members that's called him asking him what happened, Oh

530
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: what about this guy? This guy played terrible. But I

531
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: think the biggest thing and the best thing you could

532
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 3: do is find a way to encourage your teammates and

533
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: then you do all the things like you guys talked

534
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 3: about taking it to the next step of doing the

535
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 3: extra work, being accountable. All those things have to go

536
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 3: hand in hand together if you want to turn this around.

537
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: And like we mentioned, there's a lot of things you

538
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: can go the other way would it do And I

539
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: don't think this is a team that will do that.

540
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 3: This is not a stab. You don't have a head

541
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: coach who will go the other way. And the first

542
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: thing you guys mentioned, Ray Moore's straightforward what he told

543
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: you exactly what it was and what they got to do.

544
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: And they've already made the changes. Now we move on

545
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: and we make those changes.

546
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 4: Confidence is a funny thing, right yep. I mean it's

547
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: a little word or you know, a word that you

548
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 4: think confidence, And it's pretty easy to say. This game

549
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 4: is played at light speed. Most throws come out inside

550
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 4: three seconds, and so it's hard to translate that to

551
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 4: the fan as to how quickly the game is played,

552
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 4: how quick the guys are on the other side of

553
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: the ball. And if I can, if I play with confidence,

554
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 4: then I'm playing on time. Maybe I'm playing ahead of time.

555
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

556
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: But if I play with a little bit less confidence

557
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: or a lack of confidence, I'm late, and account late

558
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 4: will get you in this game. It'll be a pick six,

559
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 4: it'll be a you know, a misstep and not get

560
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: in the hole. It'll be a mistackle that you talked about.

561
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 4: Confidence is a funny thing. And if you can manifest

562
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 4: confidence by the guys that are playing around you, picking

563
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 4: guys up whereever it is, and then doubling down in

564
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: your own effort, but it can. It can ebb and flow,

565
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: and it ebbs and flows for younger players more than

566
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 4: does older players because older players have the experience of

567
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 4: playing through some of that adversity. If you're in your

568
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: first year of starting, which essentially Michael Pennix is and

569
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: some guys around him are young players as well, that

570
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: confidence can go up and down the scale a little

571
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 4: bit more. Even though he's a he's a confident dude,

572
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 4: it's still he's a human being. It's going to so

573
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: the more you can make him feel confident about what

574
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: he's doing, the better you're gonna play, and the quicker

575
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 4: you're going to play.

576
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: Shack.

577
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned move on, so let's go ahead and move

578
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: on to the next team that's on the schedule. Falcons

579
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: are going to face off at home, so after two

580
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: weeks playing on the road, that'll be back here in

581
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta and they're going to be playing the Washington Commanders,

582
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: who ended up getting their second victory of the season

583
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: this past weekend over the Las Vegas Raiders forty one

584
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: twenty four. Albeit Shock with a quarterback not named Jayden

585
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: Daniels last weekend, it was one that's somewhat familiar to

586
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons organization, and Marcus Mariota was a very

587
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: emotional win for him. I was interviewed after the game,

588
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: and I think his journey and some of the stumbles

589
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 1: that he's had to go through kind of hit him

590
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: all at one time. But the Commanders played well last

591
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: weekend against Vegas. So my question to you, Shock is

592
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: what is the animal? Obviously it wasn't too long ago

593
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons faced the Washington Commanders on the road

594
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football last year at the end of the season,

595
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: so they know this organization. Obviously the head coach spent

596
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: a lot of time here as well. What is the

597
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: animal that the Falcons are facing, whether it is Jaden

598
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: Daniels or it's Marcus Mariota.

599
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 3: Well, I think it starts with the head coach. Optionally,

600
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 3: we know dan Quinton really well. We know what kind

601
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: of coach he is, we know what kind of man

602
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 3: he is, and he's going to have his team fully prepared.

603
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: They're going to be a well coached team. And we've

604
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: seen that. We saw that last year and we know

605
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 3: he's a tough dude. I mean, did we see Marcus

606
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: Mariola run through dan Quinn on the side, hit the ground, everything,

607
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: bleeding from his nose and everything. I mean, we saw

608
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: all that, and uh, but you know this is a

609
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: team that was obviously deep in the playoffs last year.

610
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: A lot of the same characters on that team. Now,

611
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: obviously the quarterback is another scenario, uh in its own right.

612
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: But like you mentioned, you got a guy who and

613
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: Marcus Mariola who has been through it. He went through

614
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: it here, and I think anybody who is going through

615
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: that kind of adversity and now you're on the other

616
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 3: side of it, there's a new found respect for the game.

617
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 3: There's a new found respect for how you play the game.

618
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: And I think given this extra opportunity with a guy

619
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 3: that he knows he wants to take full advantage of it,

620
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: and I think that permeates what we just talked about

621
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: through his teammates around him and everybody playing to that

622
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: kind of Standard's gonna be one of those type of

623
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 3: ball games in Washington's a good football team and we've

624
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: seen that. We've seen it last year's seen it this year. Obviously,

625
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: they got a three auded monster running back of Christopher Reguez,

626
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: the court Crosskey Merritt, and you know Jerrywin Nichols. I mean,

627
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: three different style of guys. Mariota fifteen to twenty one.

628
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: Last week two hundred seven yard didn't turn the football over. Obviously,

629
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: they bring in Deebo Samuel. You know the physicality that

630
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 3: he brings, you know, the attitude that he brings to

631
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: an offense, and the multiple ways they try to get

632
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: him the football. Still got scary Terry over there. You

633
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: know Zach this this is Zach Er. This is an

634
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: offense that has weapons and similar to you look at us,

635
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: same similar thing, but the level that they're playing at

636
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: is a little bit different from this week to what

637
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: we've seen in the past. So this is a team

638
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: in Washington that is is the mindset for them is, hey,

639
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: we're a team that was a couple of plays away

640
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: from going to the Super Bowl. We feel good about

641
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: where we are. So obviously the Bobby Wagner's on the

642
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 3: other side, the experienced guys you got there too. I mean,

643
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: they got a D line that's we've seen some really

644
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: good defensive players. They got two or three of those

645
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 3: guys on that D line that you got to worry about.

646
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 3: So this is gonna be a tough tax. This is

647
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: gonna be a game that you know, you got to

648
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: make sure you bring your hard heads. And if you're

649
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: worried about what happened last week, oh yeah, guess what,

650
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: this team will make it feel even worse because they're

651
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 3: just as good too. So come to this ball.

652
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: Game, Archie.

653
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you wanted to talk about the

654
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Commander's offense or defense, but I was just gonna kind

655
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: of lead you to there's some dudes on this defensive side, now,

656
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, as you mentioned, Frankie Louvu by the way,

657
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 1: von Miller ended up in Washington, Marshaun Lattimore's there. I mean,

658
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: they've got some players that are Pro Bowlers, that are

659
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: tackling machines that are former Super Bowl MVPs, like they've

660
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: got some legit talent on that side of the ball.

661
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: So if there was a struggle with Michael Pennox last

662
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: year or last week, competing fifty percent of his passes,

663
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: it's not going to get a whole lot easier in

664
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: the next game.

665
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: No, it's not. And we know that the week in

666
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: and week out, if you don't bring your best, you're

667
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 4: in trouble. And this is a Washington team is playing

668
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 4: with a lot of confidence, you said, Ross Shock. This

669
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: is a team that a lot of people feel like

670
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 4: is going to be in the mix to potentially end

671
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: up in that last game.

672
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: Of the year.

673
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 4: Albeit their quarterback a little bit banged up. Don't know

674
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 4: if Jaden Daniels will go, but Marcus Mariota filled in admirably.

675
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: It's a defense that's been pushed around a little bit

676
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: in the first three weeks. Guys, there's teams that have

677
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 4: moved the football on them. Obviously, it'll be paramount for

678
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: us to get Tyler Algiar and Jean Robinson going in

679
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: the run game. That always helps. A quarterback need to

680
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: be able to run the football the game kind of

681
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: got a little bit out of whack in the second

682
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 4: half of the Carolina game, and you had to kind

683
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 4: of fight your way back in the game, maybe with

684
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: the passing game, and got a little bit away from

685
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: two of your best players. You need to keep the

686
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 4: game in perspective there. To me, the game is going

687
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 4: to hinge a lot on how Atlanta handles Washington's running game.

688
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: Washington comes in the number two offense in the league,

689
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 4: run into football in the first three weeks of the season,

690
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 4: and so I don't care who's playing quarterback. It's talked

691
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: about the best friend of a quarterback as a running game.

692
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 4: Can you limit the run game to where they only

693
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 4: have to throw the ball twenty times in the game?

694
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 4: You said Mariota was what fifteen to twenty one with

695
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 4: very similar to remember Michael Pennick threw the ball what

696
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 4: twenty three times against Minnesota because you were running the football.

697
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 4: So Atlanta's pretty good against the run.

698
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: They've been.

699
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 4: I think we're tenth in the league right now, and

700
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 4: I no, numbers don't get are kind of skewed because

701
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 4: we're early on in the year. This is a defense

702
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 4: is playing at a high level. You go back to

703
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 4: the Carolina game. Atlanta gave up sixty one yards on

704
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: the opening drive that ultimately netted the touchdown run by

705
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 4: Bryce Young. After that, in twenty eight minutes of football,

706
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 4: they gave up one hundred and sixty three yards of offense.

707
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 4: That's winning football. They're playing winning football on that side.

708
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: That to me is the matchup that I'm looking at

709
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: is the Reds almost they'll do. I actually played a

710
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 4: couple of season so the Washington Commander run game versus

711
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: the Falcon run defense to allow those young guys to

712
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: get after the passer at some point control the quarterback

713
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: in the pocket. We've still had problems with that, and

714
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: we're going to see more and more players. Bryce Young

715
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 4: got out for a touchdown run. We know Baker Mayfield

716
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 4: hurt us a little bit. These guys, both these guys

717
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: want to get out and run with the ball, So

718
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 4: you got to make sure you take.

719
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 3: Care of that.

720
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: Listen, fellas, I don't know about you, but as a

721
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: broadcaster that's been around for a while, like I still

722
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: call San Diego Chargers Oakland Raiders every once so while,

723
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: I get tripped up on Saint Louis Rams and I

724
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: came into the league.

725
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Rams were in our division.

726
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: Okay, you talked about Wathington like these things happen on occasion. Okay,

727
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: these names have all change. Some people have been born

728
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: that listened to this podcast. You never knew what it

729
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: was before. You might have heard about it.

730
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: Used to the St. Louis Cardinals.

731
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: He even goes further back.

732
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're right, Arch. I mean two hundred one

733
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: yards rushing for the Commanders in their game last week.

734
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: A lot of that aided because Marcus Mariota can do

735
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: some similar things that Jaden Daniels can. He can get

736
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: outside of the pocket. He ended up having forty rushing

737
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: yards in that game last weekend against the Raiders. Is

738
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: this game shock a lot more simple in the sense

739
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: that this is more about Atlanta and not so much

740
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: about what Washington is going to do? Like, is this

741
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: one of those where it's short term memory? Got to

742
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: learn from last week? They had a whole week of practice,

743
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: put it behind them, and then as you talked about

744
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: play with the confidence and go let it loose against Washington,

745
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: to play freely and go out and make plays.

746
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: Rack, I say, you know, usually about eighty nine percent

747
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: I will say, yes, it's all about this team. It's

748
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: all about Atlanta. I would say it's more sixty to

749
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: forty Atlanta to Washington, because, yeah, okay, you got to

750
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: care yourself first, which is understanding me. So you got

751
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: some stuff that happened in this past ball game that

752
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: you have to correct. We've went through that. But then

753
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 3: there's also the opponent that you must go against that

754
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: is really darn good. And we talked about some players

755
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball that you just come

756
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: and say, a, right, we're not really worrying about this guy.

757
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 3: We got to make sure we do it. We do Oh,

758
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna lose sight of exactly who you're playing and

759
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 3: what it's about. So I think, yeah, you gotta go.

760
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: You gotta do the things that are the details of

761
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 3: what makes you a really good football team. But it's

762
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 3: also in the same light of okay, I gotta do

763
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: it within the framework of stopping this opposing team and

764
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: what they do really well. Like ARJ mentioned, you can't

765
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 3: come in here and say, you know what, we got

766
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: some really good pass rush. We're gonna let them dodes

767
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: go because if you get outside your rush lanes, they

768
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: gonna make you hurt. It's gonna be one of those

769
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 3: kind of games if you come in and say, you

770
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: know what, we ran the ball really well first Minnesota,

771
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 3: We're just gonna try to pound these guys, and then

772
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: that may not happen with this front seven you got,

773
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: you got linebackers we know this league that are downhill,

774
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 3: that are run, they are physical. Maybe it's about some

775
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: play action. Maybe it's about you know, using some things

776
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 3: that's gonna play with their hide. So I think it's

777
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: part of, yeah, what you do, but then also you

778
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 3: got to play to what they do as well to

779
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 3: kind of help you move this ball game alone.

780
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 4: The human piece of this. Okay, I wanna throw this

781
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 4: out at you guys. How important is the juice in

782
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 4: the building on Sunday when this fan base is a

783
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 4: little upset, a little upset, a lot upset with what

784
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 4: they saw this last Sunday and things start a little

785
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 4: bit slow and maybe you know that really good crowd

786
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 4: that can show up at Mercedes Benz begins to start

787
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 4: feeling uneasy about thinking how important is the juice in

788
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 4: the building this weekend?

789
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: I think it's huge an arch to as soon as

790
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: you started talking about that I said, the first thing

791
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: that came to my mind is the Falcon's got to

792
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: create the juice, Like you can't wait for it, Like,

793
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: don't wait for the fans to be there.

794
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: And help bail you out of a tough situation.

795
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: Like go go, make them get give them a reason

796
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: to get on their feet, give them a reason to

797
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: get loud if you end up getting that opening kickoff,

798
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: Like take that thing straight down the field, get into

799
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: the red.

800
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 2: Zone, catch it first, catch it first.

801
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Well done done, Okay, gotta field the kickoff, well all right,

802
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: go all the way down the field, get into the

803
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: red zone.

804
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: Falcons didn't even get into the.

805
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: Red zone last weekend against Carolina, And punch it in

806
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: for a touchdown and give them a reason to get

807
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: excited about what they're going to seek for. Call it

808
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: the next fifty five minutes in the right. You can't

809
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: just sit there and sit back and say we're home

810
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: this week and they're gonna be ruckus and it's going

811
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: to be difficult. No, give them a reason to make

812
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: it a difficult environment.

813
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I go back to what was it, second

814
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 3: third play the ball game to start the season, and

815
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,959
Speaker 3: we throw it out of there to that right flight

816
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 3: and goes great And how crazy was that? I mean,

817
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 3: that was like a man, it's real nice in here,

818
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. You got the flags flying,

819
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 3: everybody's we got the music going dirty bird next is rocking,

820
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: and it gives you a different energy. And guess what

821
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 3: that was presented. That was happened because of what you

822
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 3: did on the field. So I think it's a great

823
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 3: point that your play can bring that out. And of

824
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: course you would love the fans to be there, but

825
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: you gotta be honest. I'm a fan of a lot

826
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 3: of things too, and sometimes things good have to happen

827
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: for me to be really into it.

828
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 4: They want to go off, As you said, you got

829
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 4: to give them a reason to go off. They want

830
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: to go off. You gotta give my reason too, good yo.

831
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: And we also got to give him a reason in

832
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to get that swag surf on, because

833
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: I will.

834
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,000
