1
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: And this is the end Around postgame podcast I Am

2
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Matt Speak with Will mcfinn and Kelsey Conway is here

3
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: with us at Mercedes Benz Stadium following the falcons thirty

4
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: five twenty two loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Guys,

5
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: so much for that high following that two game win streak.

6
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: As I wrote in my postgame column tonight, any chances

7
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: that the Falcons did have and their their hopes were

8
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: less than one percent heading into this weekend anyway, are

9
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: pretty much over. Um. They the Falcons fall to three

10
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: and eight on the year, and uh, it was it

11
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: was not. It was not a great showing today in

12
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: a number of areas, defense, on offense, the offensive line.

13
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: Will your immediate your your initial take on this one. Yeah,

14
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: for everything that went right for the Falcons the past

15
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: two games, this was the exact inverse of that. Um.

16
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: You had the type of mistakes that were plaguing them

17
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: throughout the first half of the season when they went

18
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: one and seven. You know, it was poorly timed penalties

19
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: that you know, were false starts or holds that knocked them,

20
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, out of the red zone. It was they

21
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: were only one of four in the red zones, so

22
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: they weren't converting the opportunities that they had. And then

23
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: of course six sacks. You're not going to win many

24
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: games season high when you when your quarterback is on

25
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: his back six times. So that coupled with the inability

26
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: to get pressure on Jamis Winston. He was hit only

27
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: one time today and I was by Dion Jones after

28
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons had recorded eleven sacks over their past two games. So, yeah, Matt,

29
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: it was. It was everything that we've come to see

30
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: during this turnaround that had people thinking, you know, hey,

31
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: this is a different team. This is what we thought

32
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: we were going to see from this Falcons. Well, much

33
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: as they have for most of the season, they kind

34
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: of showed the way that twenty nineteen has gone for them,

35
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: and unfortunately there have been more mistakes than than positive moments. Yeah, Kelsey,

36
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: as I wrote my com this team really looked like

37
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: the team of the first half of the season. The

38
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: last two games. You know, they played really well on defense,

39
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: they got after the quarterback, they created turnovers, they got

40
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: the run game going, and then this really looked like

41
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: the team that lost six straight games at one point

42
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: and you know, struggled and I know that you After

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: the game, we're in the locker room and got some

44
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: interesting comments from Desmond Truffont Isaiah Oliver who that secondary

45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: really was torched today. Yeah, there were only a few

46
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: people I knew I was going to their locker in particular,

47
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: and I started with the cornerbacks, Desmond Trufon and Isaiah Oliver.

48
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: And the reason I started it with Trufont was I

49
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: said it before the game on ninety two point nine's

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: pregame show. Desmond Truffont talking to him after the Panthers

51
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: game was as confident as I've seen him in years.

52
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: It was like talking to the Desmond Trufon in twenty

53
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: sixteen before he got hurt in the way that he

54
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: was talking about the swagger the defense had his own

55
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: personal level of confidence. And I just asked him after

56
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: the game what happened and he just simply put, they

57
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: just outplayed us today. He said, they took it from us.

58
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably what is most disturbing about

59
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: this game to dan Quinn and Falcons fans is they

60
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: looked so good for two games and then to come

61
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: home and host another division game and to not be

62
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: able to defend your turf and impose your will. It's

63
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: just it's just got to be baffling to a lot

64
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: of people. And he said it they just they took

65
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: it to him, and he said they just outplayed them.

66
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: And you could tell from the way the games started

67
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: it didn't really seem like that. Like you mentioned in

68
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: your column, forced an interception, went down, scored a field

69
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: goal in the first drive, and then they just played

70
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: from behind the whole game. And when the Falcons have

71
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: not been successful of that spend, why, yeah, they took

72
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: it from him, and they also took away any kinds

73
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: of hopes of the Falcons may have had it. You know,

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: they were less than one percent heading into this game.

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: But you know they had to be perfect down the stretch,

76
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: and they had to they everyone knew. They played all

77
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: six of their divisional games in the second half, and

78
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: there were a couple of you know, wild scenarios where

79
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: they could actually lose a game. You know, I worked

80
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: at one where they could lose a game to the

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. But they still have to

82
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: win out out and beat Jacksonville. There's just no chance today,

83
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: especially with the Saints win in and if and if

84
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay wins tonight, we can pretty much it's it's

85
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: a it's a done deal. But you know, just disappointing

86
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,559
Speaker 1: um just because they had played so well Will and

87
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: this was a game you know, we talked about that.

88
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, Tampa came into this one with the same record,

89
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: and this just felt like a game that the Falcons

90
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: needed to win to not only validate the other two games,

91
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: but to keep it going to whatever chance they had,

92
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, they needed to win to even you know,

93
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: give themselves some hope. Yeah, you talk about, you know,

94
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: the small percentages and the situations that have to happen

95
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: for them to have any hope. You know, I think

96
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: I think we know now what we should have known

97
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: and what a lot of us kind of I think

98
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: did know even before the bye week. Is this team

99
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: this season that it's just it has not happened. It's

100
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: been a lot of different things across the board. They

101
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: haven't had, you know, one glaring weakness that they've worked

102
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: to fix. It's been you know, you kind of fix

103
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: a blow and tire in your car and then all

104
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden your engine stops work. It's just a

105
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: different thing every single week that they've been trying to

106
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: patch together, get worked. For two weeks. We saw what

107
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: this team can look like when everything is going right.

108
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: But right now that has, you know, proven to be

109
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: the exception and not the rule. And here we are

110
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: this it looks like the book is about to close

111
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: on the Falcons twenty nineteen season. But what's most troubling

112
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: I guess about today is you're right for them to

113
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: have had any shot at salvaging the season. You know,

114
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: they could not afford to overlook a game. And you know, Kelsey,

115
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: we're here in Georgia, in the heart of you know,

116
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: SEC country, and it's college football season. Everybody likes to

117
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: talk about trap games when it comes to college football.

118
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: With the Saints coming in here on Thanksgiving night, you know,

119
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: do you feel like this was a little bit of

120
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: a trap game for the Falcons and they got caught,

121
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe overlooking it? You know, I was just

122
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: about to bring that up. It almost feels like with

123
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: this season, every time the Falcons get that they should

124
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: win this game, they come out with the horrible performance.

125
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Other than the Eagles game. I mean, go into Indie,

126
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: you think, Okay, the Falcons should win that game. The

127
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: Titans Tennessee game. For sure, they should win that game,

128
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: and then following those games, it's just not It's not

129
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: just been a close game. The Falcons haven't even been

130
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: competitive in those games. And that same thing happened today.

131
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: So yes, to some extent, I do believe it was

132
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: a trap game. But when you're three and seven, how

133
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: can you have a trap How can you overlook any

134
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: That's what I want to I'm trying to bite my

135
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: tongue and hold my breath over here listening to you too.

136
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: When you win three games, you can't afford that. You

137
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: can't say there's trap games on your schedule? Are you crazy?

138
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: If you got ten wins or eight wins and you're

139
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: or you're maybe like eight and one, okay, and you

140
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: got it, you're playing another eight and one team coming up, Okay,

141
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: maybe there's a trap game. But when you're only one

142
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: three games, you gotta beat everybody. You can't overlook anybody.

143
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: So you agree with us, No, it's not a trap game.

144
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: We're not We're not saying that they should have been

145
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: overlooking anybody. We're saying that you you're not able to

146
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: overlok anybody when you're one in seven. They clearly did

147
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: not come out with their best performance today. No, but

148
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: you a trap game is when you there's a lesser

149
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: opponent that you overlook because you're focused on somebody down

150
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: the right to Saints on Thursday night, Yeah, you can't.

151
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: Did it look like they were fully focused out there?

152
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: To you? I think no, I think that this is

153
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: the team, this is this is who they are. Yeah,

154
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: that's I don't think that this is a trap game.

155
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: I think this is who the Falcons of twenty nineteen are.

156
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: This team. I think the last two weeks they played

157
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: out of their minds. Some things. They got to the quarterback,

158
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: they were able to run the ball, they got you know,

159
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: de boundary Campbell makes a phenomenal interception. I just think,

160
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: you know, they got a great block on a punt return.

161
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: I think just things happened. But I think by and large,

162
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: this team is a three win football team. And when

163
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: you're three wins, you're a three win team. You cannot

164
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: overlook anybody. And I don't think this team was overlooking Tampa.

165
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: They're a three win team with the same issues. And well,

166
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: you were talking about it earlier. You're saying, you know,

167
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: it's a different thing almost every week. But it's also

168
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: the same things. You know from week one, we're saying

169
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: Falcons are struggling to run the ball, you can't get

170
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, they're having communication issues in the secondary,

171
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: and that was all apparent today again in this loss. Yeah,

172
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, defensive line just not good. You don't get

173
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, you can't block. This is reminiscent of

174
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: the game when we were down in New Orleans, when

175
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: you know they couldn't run, they couldn't protect. I thought

176
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: this was more like when I started watching this game today,

177
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: I thought, well, this is this is a repeat of

178
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the Rams game earlier this season. But in some ways

179
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: it was worse. Yeah, it was worse because the Bucks

180
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: defensive line good, and Matt Ryan and Dan Quinn all

181
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: said how good they were, but especially against the run.

182
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: Shack Barrett wasn't even the one who was causing all

183
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: of the disruption. I mean it was Sue. It was

184
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: a number of those guys. And to allow six sacks

185
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: against Tampa's defensive line, in my opinion, is what makes

186
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: it worse. Because the Rams have two of the best

187
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: defensive players up front, and Dante Fowler and Aaron Donald.

188
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: So that's why I would say this is worse. Yeah,

189
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: you expect that against a team like the Rams, but

190
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: I think that this feels in a lot of ways

191
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: like the Rams game, but also a little bit worse

192
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: because I don't think the Rams had the explosive plays

193
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: offensively that Tampa Bay had. The Buccaneers had eight plays

194
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: on offense that went for twenty yards or more. Most

195
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: of those involved Chris Godwin, who absolutely went off. And

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: the Bucks did a great job of picking apart kind

197
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: of the zone defense that the Falcons were giving them thinking,

198
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, especially of that post route to Chris Godwin

199
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: where he Ricardo Allen's carrying him deep. He's got kind

200
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: of the underneath, and Jamis just put it right in

201
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: between the cover two, right in that vacated area, you know,

202
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: past Ricardo and ahead of the safeties. And it was

203
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: really just that simple for the Bucks throughout Sunday, you know,

204
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: for much of the afternoon, Jamis settled in after you

205
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: threw a really head scratching interception on i think the

206
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: first offensive play the game for them, or the second,

207
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: but he settled in. He made some really good throws.

208
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: He beat Dion Jones on a really great throw that

209
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: was that seventy one yard touchdown to Chris Godwin. So yes, offensively,

210
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: this feels a very similar to that Rams game. But yeah,

211
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: we haven't seen the Falcons I think, get beaten by

212
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: as many explosive plays, maybe since the Texans game. Is

213
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: that kind of the last game that felt like there

214
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,359
Speaker 1: were just explosive plays left and right. Well, to piggyback

215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: off what you just said, Well, I talked to Desmond

216
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Truffon and Isaiah Oliver and when I asked what happened

217
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: with Godwin, they both said he pinked apart their zone

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: and Oliver said he knew the coverages we were in,

219
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: he knew where to sit, and Jamis just found him.

220
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: They both said, he just picked part ours own. Somebody's

221
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: always a guy who's thrown twenty interceptions this season, league

222
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: leading twenty interceptions, including you pick him up, you pick

223
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: him off twice, and you know you The Falcons cannot

224
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: afford to not cash in on those. They didn't, they

225
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: didn't want, and they scored a touchdown on the other.

226
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: But when you can't protect and you can't run the football,

227
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: um and then you're creating turnovers and not cashing in. Uh,

228
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: it's not going to go your way, and it didn't.

229
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: And when you when you're given even a guy like

230
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston two three extra seconds back there in the pocket,

231
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: who can scramble and still run and he you know,

232
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: he had a nice couple scrambles today if you give

233
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: him time back there. He's an NFL quarterback, he was

234
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: a first round pick. I mean, you forget about the interceptions.

235
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: He can make throws and and NFL quarterback is going

236
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: to make throws and pick apart a young secondary, which

237
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: they did today. Yeah, you want you want to force

238
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Jamis into pressing, and it never felt like the Falcons

239
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: made him uncomfortable, like you said. They never were really

240
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: getting pressure in his face and kind of forcing him

241
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: to throw the ball before he wants to. And that's

242
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: when you start seeing him make some of these mistakes

243
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: when he's trying to make a play because he's got

244
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: as good of an arm, you know, as a lot

245
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in the NFL, and he's got the confidence

246
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: to try to fit it into the tight windows, as

247
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: we saw in that seventy one yard touchdown to Chris

248
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: Godwin that could have been an interception. If Dion's maybe

249
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: one step clot because he got as close to that

250
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: football as anybody possibly could. If that's an interception, then

251
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: we're all sitting here going, man, how could Jamis throw that?

252
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: But but that's kind of the difference when you're that

253
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: gunslinger type of quarterback, and the Falcons didn't do a

254
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: good enough job of forcing him into a lot of

255
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: ill advised throws now, and it could have been a

256
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: lot worse. I mean, Matt Ryan was sacked, he was

257
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: so fortunate to recover the one fumbly did that could

258
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: have easily been six more points right back. And there

259
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: was another throw that Matt it was looked like it

260
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: could have easily been a pick six. This game could

261
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: have been way more lapsided than it was. And you know,

262
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: the Falcons were thoroughly beaten today. And for a team

263
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: that has three wins that could that knew knew they

264
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: couldn't afford any mistakes down the stretch, there's no way

265
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: they're they're looking at New Orleans today. They knew they

266
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: had to win today, they knew they had to take

267
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: brick by brick, win by win, and they got They

268
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: got thumped today. Yeah, it's it's disappointing, is there. I mean,

269
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: we've this has been a fairly negative podcast so far,

270
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: and rightfully so. Is there anybody that you guys think,

271
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, deserves praise for their I think Russell Gage

272
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: had a really good game. He kind of operated in

273
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: that Austin Hooper role where Matt went to him on

274
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: third and fourth downs for some kind of big time

275
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: throws and he came up. I think he led the

276
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Falcons in overall catches, if not yards. I think Calvin

277
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: led them in yards. But is there anybody else that

278
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: you guys think you deserves recognition for what play well?

279
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: I love to play Jane Graham made early in the game. Yes,

280
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: granted he was wide open down the middle of the field,

281
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: but he was still I love how he plays. I

282
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: love how he runs after the catch. You know, I

283
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: love the fact that Trufant got another pick today. And

284
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: I just you know, defensively, there wasn't a whole lot

285
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: to be really really happy with. But yeah, if Ridley

286
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: was solid today, I thought Matt Ryan, considering the lack

287
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: of protection and lack of running game, yeah he was

288
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: sacked and almost humbled. Yeah, you know, he was trying

289
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: to make things happening through a Neil advised pass. But

290
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: the bottom line is, you know, he stuck it out

291
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: back there. I mean it just yeah, you know, he's

292
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: the leader of this team, and there are a couple

293
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: of throws that he had that they just missed on.

294
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, Calvin had a couple of catches that were

295
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: called in complete. He was ruled out of bounds and

296
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: rightfully so. But you know, if he just gets another

297
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: toe down, well it's interesting what might have played out.

298
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, if he makes that play on the back

299
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: corner of Viens and that was a beautifully thrown ball

300
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: by Matt he put it really the only place he could.

301
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: Calvin just can't get that second foot down. So there

302
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: were some chances that Atlanta didn't hit on, but by

303
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: and large, Tampa Bay won this game out right, Yeah,

304
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: I would say Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones. I mean,

305
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: and he's his shoulder. You know, we don't know the

306
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: severity of it, but the fact that he comes back

307
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: out of the locker room, you know they're they're down,

308
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: and that's not Julio's character at all to just you know,

309
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: throw the towel in. But he was taking himself in

310
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: and off the field, and I just think, I think

311
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: the way he goes about his effort and just the play,

312
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, consistent play from him weekend and week out.

313
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's what is so so alarming about

314
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: the Falcon's offense is their receivers. They have so much

315
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: talent on the outside. Matt Ryan said this week, we

316
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: like our chances with our receivers every week and there

317
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: is nobody that can. You know, as we saw in Carolina,

318
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: you take away Julio, Calvin's gonna have a big day,

319
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, It's it's the same formula that the Bucks

320
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: had when we were taking away Mike Evans and Godwin

321
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: ends a big day. But if you can't, if you

322
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, and Matt, thank you. If you

323
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, at some point, it's going to

324
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: catch up to you. And that I don't this Falcon's

325
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: offense will never reach the heights that it needs to

326
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: if they cannot figure out how to run the ball. Kelsey,

327
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: I don't know how many yes, I don't know how

328
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: many End Around podcasts you've listened to hopefully album this year,

329
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: but oh I'm tun it. I keep preaching every single week.

330
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to run the ball. If

331
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: teams that can run and play defense, I'll take that.

332
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: I'll take that sixteen weeks, sixteen games, and I like

333
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: my chances to win twelve games. If you can place

334
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: solid defense and run the football efficiently consistently, I'll take that.

335
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: I just need a bus driver. And if I got

336
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan even better, well that we also didn't hit

337
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: on the Falcons. Ronald Jones had success running the ball

338
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, you know, early on in the game. Yeah,

339
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: I think they broke off some some nice runs. We

340
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: just hadn't seen that. He averaged four and a half

341
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: yards per carry. He only ran at twelve times, but

342
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: he had fifty one yards, right he was he had

343
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Yeah. Uh, they ran for totally a total

344
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three yards. I mean they did

345
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: what they you know, it wasn't eye popping, but well

346
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: it was weird because it was it was kind of

347
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: like some one and two yard runs and then they

348
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: would break off. You know, Jami's had a long of

349
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: twenty four yards. Jones had a long of twenty five yards.

350
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, they're there are two of the eight explosive

351
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: plays that I mentioned at the top of the pod.

352
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: So it's you know, for a mom For much of

353
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: the game, I think the Falcons did okay against the run.

354
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't as bad, you know, as it didn't look

355
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: as bad as the final numbers would indicate. But yeah,

356
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: they got gashed there towards the end and it you know,

357
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you. You You got to be able to

358
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: run the football. So let's just let's let's wrap this

359
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: up by talking big picture. Um, you know, it feels

360
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: like we can finally just kind of say, okay, you know,

361
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, after what happened the last two weeks,

362
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: we're kind of holding our breath. We're like, okay, you know,

363
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: we all we all said, we all said it, and

364
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: I wrote it in a column, this is the defense

365
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: we expected to see, and we all said, hey, everybody said,

366
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: this is what we thought we were going to see. Okay,

367
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: but they couldn't. They couldn't maintain it. And I think

368
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty realistic to say, look at what they

369
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: did the last two weeks. They were as dominant as

370
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: any defensive unit in the NFL. Last two weeks, You're

371
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: not gonna go from you know, one win in seven

372
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: and eight, sorry one in seven, to being to being

373
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: able to just flip it like that. Um, And even

374
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: if you do, even if they had run it out,

375
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: I think they had just dug himself into too deep

376
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: of a hole. I mean, the NFC is too good

377
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: this year. It Sure, the two wins were great, but

378
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think did people realistically think that

379
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: there was going to be some magical run that ended

380
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: with you know, a wild card berth in the playoffs

381
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: this year? I personally didn't. There may be people out

382
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: there it's much more fun to think that there could

383
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: be some Cinderella story second half of the season coming,

384
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: But you just dug yourself into far too deep of

385
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: a hole going one and seven, where you gave yourself

386
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: no margin for error. You needed help along the rest

387
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: of the way, and now you know you probably did

388
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: yourself in tonight thought can I agree completely? And I

389
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: think after those two games, I think there's a little

390
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: bit of a knee jerk reaction like, oh, can can

391
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons make a run like they did in twenty sixteen?

392
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: But one of the you know, several differences between that

393
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: team and this team was the play of the offensive

394
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: line in twenty sixteen was built by veterans up front,

395
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: and they were able to run the football and they

396
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: were able to do something that have significantly hampered this

397
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: team right now. Yeah, and I just to to your point,

398
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: will look, you know, when you look at the top

399
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: six teams in the NFC right now, Um, there's a

400
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: pair of nine win teams. There's you know, Green Bay

401
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: with eight wins about to play San Francisco tonight, and

402
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: then you got and then you got you know, Dallas

403
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: in Seattle in Minnesota, you know, Seattle in Minnesota. I'm sorry,

404
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: Seattle's got nine wins, so you know, I mean Minnesota's

405
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: a wild card team with eight wins? Right, Well, no,

406
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: they're they're technically in right now, Los Angeles, Chicago, and

407
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: Philly are all kind of a six five win territory

408
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: in Carolina. Who are the two wild card teams right

409
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: now as it stands right now, it would be Minnesota

410
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: and Seattle, right and both of those have Minnesota's got

411
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: eight wins, Seattle hass Atlanta too, right, So that's what

412
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, is they're both sitting at eight wins.

413
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: The best before to day you could get to his

414
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: nine and seven. They owned the head to head against

415
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: this team. I mean, but but all of this is

416
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: mood because they lost thirty five twenty two today. And

417
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: that's the that's the Atlanta Falcons fans. I mean, hey,

418
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: to beat it, to beat the sweet the Saints would

419
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 1: be pretty sweet, right, I mean yeah, to shoot so

420
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: to show up their night football, a home game versus

421
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: your arrival, they need to come out and play really

422
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: well against the Saints. They can't. They can't have a

423
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: flat performance like they did today. We all when they

424
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: were one and seven, we all said, hey, look at

425
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: this point, if they went three and thirteen beats and

426
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: beat the New Orleans Saints, they would look back at

427
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: this season as you know what, it was a rough year,

428
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: but we swept the Saints. Yeah, and so you know

429
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: that's how much this fan base dislikes the Saints fan base.

430
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: And for those of you keeping track out there, Washington

431
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: one today and the New York Jets one today. So

432
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: they improved to four and seven and the Redskins are

433
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: also So you're talking draft or maybe well right now

434
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: the projected would be Cincinnati Washington Giants Miami Jets Atlanta. Okay,

435
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: you're right there, You're in the mix the Chase Young sweepstakes.

436
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm just not ready to do it. Guys. Are we

437
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: allowed to talk about I'm not ready to talk about

438
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: the draft? Oh I'm ready, but we can't. We will

439
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: soon enough. I know. I know this, this this this game.

440
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: We're sitting here looking at at Mercedes ben Stadium, empty stadium,

441
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: and we all came into the stadium today. I came

442
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: in a little pepping my stap little I did. I

443
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: rolled in on my bird. I was feeling good. Did

444
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: you roll in on a bird? My sister came in

445
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: from New York to watch this. Actually I was. I

446
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: was one of the climbers down from the pillar the

447
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: open roof. He had the repellers, that was I was

00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: you did you guys? I was the one that got stuck. Yeah. Anyway,

450
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: well listen, um, it may have sounded negative, but that's

451
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: just the reality of the season, guys. You know, when

452
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: you win three games and we're just trying to keep it,

00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, as as real as we can. Yeah, for
