1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: It is a victory Tuesday. Dave Archer, no DJ Shockley here,

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: but that's okay. Falcons pull off the twenty three twenty

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: win over the Giants last night on Monday night. Football

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: feels good. I'm a little sleepy, but it feels good. Hey. Yeah,

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: it was a late night last night for everybody here

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: in Flowery Branch, but obviously a good win. Anytime you

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: get a win in this league, it's huge to find

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: a way to scratch out a win. There were some

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: moments in it that didn't look good and I think

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of the way the season's going to go.

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: But but fun to carve out a win, especially on

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: prime in primetime. Some guys stepped up. A lot of

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: guys stepped up. We'll talk a little bit about that.

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: You want to talk about the coaching staff, how they're

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: the glue. I'm going to talk about the other you

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: can call him the glue two player side is Matt Ryan.

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: But it's not bad. Yeah, having a hack of a year.

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: But you first you are listening to Falcon's audible presented

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: by AT and T. I'm Matt Tubek, Dave Archer, no

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: DJ Shockley. He'll be back next week. He's not injured.

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of injuries, but Shock's not injured.

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: You just think it me us today. It's just because

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: it's a rare Tuesday for the podcast here. But Dave,

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: let's let's just start off with the coaching staff. I

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: know you wanted to talk about that this team has

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: been decimated with injuries. Fans don't want to hear about

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: the injuries. But it's a fact of life. It's it's true.

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: They got Grady Jarrett back last night and Derek Shall

29
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: be back, and boy it was a shot in the arm.

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: But to the coaches credit, they have kept this team focused.

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: They've pulled. They've had some close losses, some close wins,

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: but they've done a heck of a job. Yeah, I

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: think that when you start talking about how much from

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: a personnel standpoint, how many different guys have played. Let's

35
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: look at last night. Just for instance, last night, you

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: played twenty players on the defensive side of the football,

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: eight d lineman, five linebackers. All your linebackers played, and

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: you played seven defensive backs. And there were a number

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: of times Mark jan Manuel was shuttling five and six

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: players in and five and six players out now you

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: see that some when sub packages come in for offenses. Okay,

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: meaning sub packages, I mean a third receiver comes in,

43
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: our fourth receiver comes in. Their tight ends are coming out,

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: so we counter that here comes a couple of dvs.

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: But you don't see like five defensive lineman coming in,

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: two linebackers. So you knew mark on Manuel and so

47
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: I spoke to him after the game, and boy, he

48
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: looked fatigued. He gave everything he had from a coaching

49
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: staff standpoint to get them dialed in. So that meant

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: that didn't start last night. That started all the way

51
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: back on Monday when they began to put this plan

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: together as to how am I going to use my

53
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: personnel on the defensive side of the ball to create

54
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: our best opportunity to win. You here, Coach Quinn talk

55
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: about it all the time. I'm gonna put guys in

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: the best position they can to succeed. Well, that means maybe,

57
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: and we talked about this when Dion Jones went down.

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: There may be three players that have to play that

59
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: position the way Dion Jones plays it. And we saw

60
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: it come to life last night, all these different guys

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: coming in, shuttling guys in and out. You're watching the

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: sideline over there, the giants come with this group here coming,

63
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: these guys coming in. I gotta keep my people fresh.

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: I got it in the part that's so hard about

65
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: it is you've got to dial all twenty of those

66
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: guys in, right. You know, it's not like you could County.

67
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: I want to put my eleven or my thirteen or

68
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: fourteen guys out there that I don't really play with,

69
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: and that's it. I've got to dial that many guys in.

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: So the hours that were spent getting a plan together

71
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: to allow these guys to succeed, and then then coaching

72
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: those guys up through the week, and then getting him

73
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: out there, and then trusting them to do it. And

74
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: then if there's somebody that's not getting done, getting him out,

75
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: which we saw last night as well, there was some

76
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: guys that didn't, I gotta get another guy in. I

77
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: just thought it. It's been a phenomenal job with all

78
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: the injuries you're talking about, Matt, to be able to

79
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: get those guys, and I know it hasn't been pretty.

80
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: And fans are gonna say, wait a minute, you gave

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: up four hundred yards last night. You had two one

82
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: hundred yard receivers. Yes, but what counts is what's on

83
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: the scoreboard when they get to the scoring zone. Do

84
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: they get in? You find a way to get off

85
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: the field on third down. You did all that last night.

86
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: And Quinn has been talking about just give us some time.

87
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: We got to kind of figure it out. We're gonna

88
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: get our head around the defense and we're gonna start

89
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: coming together. And I think you may have saw some

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: signs that last night to stay on the defense too.

91
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: You know, Mark, I was talking to him one morning too.

92
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: He part of this too is getting to know your personnel.

93
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Bruce Carter. Yeah, he was once a great player, but

94
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: he is. He contributed in a major way last night.

95
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: And you're putting guys in different situations. They're learning on

96
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the job, their their their roles are expanding in some

97
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: cases that takes time, that takes reps, and that takes

98
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: the coaching staff kind of just kind of you know, weighing, Hey,

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: what gives us, who gives us the best chance in

100
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: these scenarios. And so I think they've done a good

101
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: job with that with Carter and moving he said, and

102
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned in the different guys, think about the different

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: variables that factor in you get you get fourteen guys,

104
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: I'll say your nickel, your extra pass rusher, and maybe

105
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: a nickel linebacker or something like that, and then that's

106
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: about it. And so you have a pretty good idea.

107
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: That's kind of you got that encapsuled where you have

108
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea how those fourteen guys are going

109
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: to play. Now, Allison, it's twenty guys on defense. So

110
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of variables. This guy having an

111
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: off night, can I find a different guy to play

112
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: his position? So give this coaching staff a ton of

113
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: credit dialing these people in. Yeah, Grady Jarrett was back

114
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: last night, and what a spark he gave that defense.

115
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: They had four first half sacks. He had two of them.

116
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: A couple of them came on third down first the

117
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Giants to punt. It was I mean, you know, you

118
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: talk about, hey, they had some big numbers at the end.

119
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: Well two of those touchdowns were in the fourth quarter.

120
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they played you know, it was every All

121
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: the talk was sa Quon Barkley, excuse me. And those receivers,

122
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, and they're good. They're a good group with

123
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: Odell Backham Jr. And Shepherd. But they got their numbers.

124
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: But that's been the story with that team two all year,

125
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: just you know, a lot of yards but no wins.

126
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: But they really did a great job containing Barkley last night. Yeah,

127
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: I thought that the magic number for me looking at

128
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: it was when you looked at Saquon Barkley coming in,

129
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: he's average in five point two yards of carrying, he's

130
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: average in nine point three yards a reception. He had

131
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty yards or two hundred and twenty

132
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: yards against the Eagles that Thursday night. So they hadn't

133
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: played since the Thursday night a week ago. That was

134
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: their last game out and Barkley went off against Eagles.

135
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: Now they lost, but Barkley was incredible in the game.

136
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: So I thought, Okay, there's the kind of the straw

137
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: that stirs the drink. How can you limit say Kwan,

138
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: Barclay or Canyon. And I thought that magic number for

139
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: him was about one hundred and fifty yards. You could

140
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: keep him one hundred fift yards or less combined, you're

141
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: gonna win the football game. That only did that. They

142
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: kept him less than one hundred total both receiving and

143
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: running the ball. Yes, the receivers had some plays, but

144
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Barkley again was kind of that engine that makes them

145
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: go and kind of makes some multidimensional really good job

146
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: of himming him in and taking him away, Grady Jarrett

147
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: coming back, Shelby coming back and contributing to the run game,

148
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: stopping the run game and force them to be kind

149
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: of one dimensional. Now, we need to play better, and

150
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: I think you agree. We got to play better in

151
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: the back end. Played a lot of man coverage last night.

152
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: I thought, from a defensive backstandpoint, not Desmond Trufont or

153
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: are all Robert Alford's best games last night, that both

154
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: those guys struggled some for whatever reason. Give the good

155
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: receivers credit, like you talked about, those guys will have

156
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: to play better. But getting some of these people back

157
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: make you look like, Okay, all of a sudden, I

158
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: think we could play a little bit better defense than

159
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: we've played in the first five games. They were silent

160
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: in the red zone, they had a couple, they had

161
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: a garbage touchdown at the end. But yeah, I thought,

162
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: by and large, stats aside, solid effort can get better.

163
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: They head into the bye week a week closer to

164
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: getting Dion Jones back, which is huge. But then they've

165
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: got two tough back to back road games, so that's

166
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: it's always tough to win twice on the road in

167
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. But you wanted to talk and it's something

168
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: you've been singing since we started, and I'm on the

169
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: bandwagon with you. But tell me about Matt Ryan. Well,

170
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, you guys said and rightfully so this has

171
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: always been Matt Ryan's team. But my point too is

172
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, with those injuries and where they occurred on

173
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, it was going to

174
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: be so important that they got his best and he

175
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: is playing. It's you go back to twenty sixteen, his

176
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: MVP season. He has almost identical numbers. I just printed

177
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: these out before I came up here. But in twenty sixteen,

178
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: through seven games, he passed for twenty three twenty three

179
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: forty eight sixteen tds, four I iNTS. Right now through

180
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: seven games he has two thousand, three hundred thirty five

181
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: fifteen tds, only two I and T s. Wow, it's

182
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he is you know, we keep keep on

183
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: saying upstairs, he is dealing right now. He is playing

184
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: so well, and you know, I think the offense right

185
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: now is what's kind of keeping that team that pulse

186
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: alive right now? I thought you made a good point

187
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: last week in the fact that we talked a little

188
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: bit about Matt Ryan and I was talking about how

189
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: I think he's an elite level player. Ye, and you

190
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: mentioned and it's a great point. We're not running the

191
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: ball at all and all and and he's putting in

192
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: and he's putting those numbers up. Yeah, in twenty sixteen,

193
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: they were running the daylights have it with Devonte Freeman

194
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: to Tevin Coleman. Right now, we've only had one running

195
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: back surpassed the one hundred yard mark against Carolina. Havin

196
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: had a nice thirty was it thirty yard touchdown run

197
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: right last night. They're just not They need a few

198
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: more of those, but they're just not sustain They're just

199
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: not run the ball as well as they need to be. Right.

200
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: The thing that's interesting about it, Matt, though, is there's

201
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: some issues up front. Well, yeah, and they're certainly from

202
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: a personnel standpoint. Got a play better up front and

203
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: then we now you have potentially another injury up there,

204
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: but the play action has been phenomenal. I think Matt

205
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: was fourteen to fifteen or fifteen to sixteen last night

206
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: on play action. Now there's a lot that goes into that,

207
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: but the play action meaning run action. So you're trying

208
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: to show it's certainly the front seven, and if you

209
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: could draw a safety in or two, that's great too.

210
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: You're trying to show them run to make them commit

211
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: to take away the run. And so now I pull

212
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: it out, and now my guys, my receivers are working

213
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: against potentially four defenders in the back end. So one

214
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: the old line's done a good job of showing run action.

215
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Ryan is as good a play action quarterback as there

216
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: is in the league. There's nobody that does the play

217
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: fakes the body language. But think about Ryan. Now, once

218
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: he play fakes, I'm turning my back to the defense,

219
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: I've got to whirl my head around. I had a

220
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: pre snap. Look, Okay, I think I know what they're

221
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna do. But in drop back, when you dropped a throw,

222
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: your first two steps, you confirm what you saw play

223
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: a pre snap, you don't get that in play action.

224
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm turning my back, I'm gonna play fake, and when

225
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: I come back out, now I've got to confirm what

226
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: I see they got him one time. Yeah, absolutely, he

227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: didn't even see him on his blind had a guy

228
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: coming off the edge. Yeah, but you don't want to

229
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: see that too much. But how many times was he

230
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: sacked last night? Was it three times? Four times? Three times?

231
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: It seemed early and then all of a sudden things

232
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: started solid. But we went to a little bit more

233
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: max protect. You saw it, and it's cool. You know,

234
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: coaches adjust. Steve Sarkijian came in and put the tight

235
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: end in the backfield with the back and they kind

236
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: of chip protect on the outside to give Ryan an

237
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: opportunity to get at all. Just just because I want

238
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: to gloat over Matt Ryan a little bit more. Through

239
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: the through one hundred and sixty five games and you

240
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: know their first one sixty five, Matt Ryan has played

241
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: one sixty five. He is number one in NFL history

242
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: with forty four thousand, one hundred and thirty one. Drew

243
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: Brees is number two. Wow, through one hundred and sixty

244
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: five games with Marino Manning and Philip Rivers. How about that.

245
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard that. No, that's good. He's also the

246
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: first quarterback in the Super Bowl here Era to pass

247
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: with three hundred and fifty yards passing, zero I and

248
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: T s and four straight games. So first in NFL history. Yes,

249
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: in a passing league. Now with breeze and all the stuff,

250
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: we can saw the accolades. Four straight home games, four

251
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: straight home games. Well, yeah, you can play with stats,

252
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: but that's still pretty good. It's a good stat. Yeah,

253
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: I like you to play with that one. Yeah, and

254
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: you talked about play action. That's it was all. He

255
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: was thirteen and fourteen last night with one hundred eighty

256
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: nins off a play action last night. Oh that's pretty good.

257
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good rating. Yeah, so he's playing well.

258
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: The passing game is the quick strike. We got to

259
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: get the run game going. But the run game is

260
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: working enough for that play action to work. It must

261
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: be h And yeah, we're gonna sing Ryan's praises and

262
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Matt and I are here talking about how a defense

263
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: is kind of doesn't look pretty, but it's finally kind

264
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: of evolving and hopefully they're going to become better. But

265
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: we do need to talk about a couple of blemishes,

266
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: and one of them is last run game. Okay, and

267
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: the inability to run the football. You're just not moving

268
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: people off the ball. This was a Giant team last

269
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: night that was surrendering one hundred and twenty one yards

270
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: a game on the ground, right, they were getting pushed

271
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: around in the ground game, and you didn't do anything

272
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: to him. Now, I will say that the Giants committed

273
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: some resources of the line of scrimmage. You saw Landing

274
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: Collins and Safety up in the box, a lot three

275
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: linebackers up tight, but we could not get any kind

276
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: of push and I'm not sure that's going to get better,

277
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: especially between the tackles we're does not have any success there,

278
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: and then when we stretch it out, we the Falcons

279
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: stretch it out. I don't know how many runs they've

280
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: had last night and in previous games too where they

281
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: were Tevin just kind of stretches it, stretches it, stretches

282
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: it and just can't turn it up and knowing that's

283
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: being a loss or yeah, that's those edge blockers to

284
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: try to establish some kind of edge. If we're going

285
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: to be a stretch run team, you've got to be

286
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: able to get the edge set so you can get

287
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: to the edge. And you saw it a number of times,

288
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: so I think Jake Matthews a couple of times, Ryan Schrader.

289
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of the tight ends were pushed into

290
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: the backfield, so now Tevin's got a belly or Edo

291
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Smith's got a belly around that, which means he loses ground.

292
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: And when you're losing ground, there's people pursuing and you

293
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: get negative run plays, and that's hard for Steve Sarkisian

294
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: to call plays. And you want to stay with the

295
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: run game. You want to stay committed to it, because

296
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: they pop that thirty yard right the next thing you know,

297
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: yeah it's bang bang bang, And also here comes one out.

298
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: But how how long? And I thought that tremendous patience

299
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: last night by Steve Karkijan to stay with the run

300
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: game to finally get that one from Tevin. If you

301
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: go back and look at that really good job Ben

302
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: Garland in the game, Ben Garland and Ryan Schrader come

303
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: off on the right side along with Alex Mack and

304
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: a really good job of Ben Garland and Schrader coming

305
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: off together, and then Garland slips to the next level

306
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: to get that next level defender block. Tevin saw it

307
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: and cut right off of it, and there were a

308
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: lot of people in the box on the part. Correct

309
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Wasn't Ortiz on that play too?

310
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I think I don't think he

311
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: had a key block though, Yeah, I think he was.

312
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: We used a lot of that three tight inset last

313
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: night and try to muscle him up. That's something you're

332
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: four one of logistics attached to that. I'm not sure

333
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: to follow that. One might say, what if you got

Speaker 1: and heckel, Sam, Sam, will we appreciate this? Heckling, You

338
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: don't even need a saything about the game to say

339
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: something about it. If you don't like our outfits, you know,

340
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: like the set, you don't like what we're talking about,

341
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: Sam Larson, And at the end of the show, I'm

342
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: going to give you his personal email. Get home. There

343
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: you go, So, Dave, the most important thing here is

344
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: that they're three and four. They won back to back games.

345
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, you can have that three game skin in

346
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, the middle season, or at

347
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: the end of the season. They just so happen to

348
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: have it at the beginning. You know, this is a

349
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: glass half full kind of approach here. But they're getting

350
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: some guys back. They got Grady. You saw that Backdon

351
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: Jones is on the end. He's supposed to be back

352
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: potentially for Week ten, the next home game against the

353
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys on the eighteenth. If they can go on

354
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: the road and beat Washington and beat Cleveland, they get

355
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: Don back, that's going to be a shot in the

356
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: arm for that defense, for this whole team. I think,

357
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: just mentally, and not to mention what he brings the table,

358
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: he's probably the best player on that defense, or arguably

359
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: one of the top two. What's the mindset right now?

360
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you want to take advantage of this

361
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 1: bye week get healthy. To me, the mindset here now

362
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: is you just completely decompress. Okay, you really dug yourself

363
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: hole at one and four, and you've found a way

364
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: to get a couple of wins. And they beat Tampa

365
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: and they beat the Giants. Okay, that's who was on

366
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: your schedule. Did you beat You didn't beat any you

367
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: know when in the grand scheme, I think, no great shakes.

368
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: Now you have to win on Sundays or Mondays or

369
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: whatever your games are, and you can only play who's

370
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: on your schedule. So those are at in the rear

371
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: view mendor window. You bank those wins. Now you're going

372
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: at three and four. Now my job as a player

373
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: is I've got to shut it down, decompress, now, get

374
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: myself ready for a really tough stretch. Six and the

375
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: last nine are on the road, and so I've got

376
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: to get myself ready for the Washington Redskins. So what

377
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna flush my mind of

378
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: these first seven games. Take the momentum you've gained, get

379
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: yourself healthy, do the right things in the bye week,

380
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: don't do something stupid where you get fatigue, and then

381
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: get ready to come in when you come back to

382
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: go to work on Monday. Now they won't be gone

383
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: the entire week. They'll still do some stuff, but come

384
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: back on Monday ready to win that game in Washington.

385
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: You know, we said, we hate to say it, but

386
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: you know when they when they were getting ready to

387
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: play Tampa, we said, this is a must win game.

388
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: And I said last week, this is still We're still

389
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: in must win territory. Till you get out of that

390
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: hole and you kind of you're kind of above and

391
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: you have a little bit of a cushion and the

392
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: teams in your division maybe slip a little bit they're

393
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: still in that must win the territory. I mean, there

394
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: is no cushion. We played away the cushion early and

395
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: everybody in your division one yesterday on Sunday too, and

396
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: they were all close, but they won. Every one of

397
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: those games. Was came down to the end. But you

398
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: gotta believe that if you take care of your business

399
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: in the way this league this the league is crazy

400
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: weekend and week out that you know what something might happen,

401
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: and you know, you never root for injuries ever, but

402
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: that's a part of the game, and you know it's

403
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: cyclical and it happens to everybody, and you just never

404
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen with your division rivals. And

405
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: so if they go out and take care of business

406
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: and take care of the Redskins not an easy place

407
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: to it. They've been playing tough this year, especially at home.

408
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: They had a big win against the Cowboys. Weird games,

409
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: and they're in the middle of their division race as well.

410
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: That's a really kind of screwy division, so they feel

411
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: like they're right in the mix. So it's a it's

412
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: a you know, if you ever can find a middle

413
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: of the season playoff caliber game with tiebreaker things attached

414
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: to it. Redskins Falcons are certainly going to be that case.

415
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: The NFC is outside of the Rams, is wide open.

416
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,239
Speaker 1: You know New Orleans is playing well, but I mean

417
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: it is wide open. When you look at the records

418
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: of all the Division teams, there's like one everybody is

419
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: separated by one or two wins, and you know, it's

420
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: just it's wide open. They gotta get healthy, you know.

421
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: I you know, people got on me a little bit

422
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: in the mail bag for saying, hey, don't look too

423
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: far down the road, but you have to. It's it's

424
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: okay to look at the schedule to see how it

425
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: sets up. So these next three games on paper are

426
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: very Winna. Well, they took care we said five. They've

427
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: taken care of the Bucks and the Giants and now

428
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: they have their redskins. I keep thinking about how if

429
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: they take care of those these next three games, they

430
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to go into New Orleans on Thanksgiving

431
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: Day with a six and four record, three and one

432
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: in the division, I believe, five and two in the conference.

433
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Yeah? You know me, I'm I'm

434
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: in the next game. I know, I can't think past

435
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: the next, think about that. No, I mean, there's no

436
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: question that you have a chance. You have a chance

437
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: to play yourself back into the scenario. And we know that,

438
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: we know they have the ability to play their way

439
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: back into it. One guy I want to mention Matt

440
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: and we we remiss if we didn't mention is Georgio Tobaccio.

441
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we talk about Georgios and Georgio credible, such

442
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: much a good guy. And think about the first of all,

443
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: let's look at the foresight of Thomas Dimitroff and Dan

444
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: Quinn to bring Tellvechio in the last week of the preseason. Okay,

445
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: you sit down Bosher and you sit down Bryant, and

446
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: you have the two kickers in. I can't remember the

447
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: kid who was the kid kicking that was backing up

448
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: Bosher or I mean backing up Bryant. He slides the

449
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: punter and the kid from Georgia and then you get tell.

450
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: You bring tell Vechio in and he kicks in the

451
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: preseason the final preseason game. You establish a trust or

452
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: at least a relationship with the team coached the player

453
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: in Telvechio and Quinn they tell him say listen, if

454
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: something happens kicker wise, you're our guys. Should you not

455
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: have another job? And Telvecio has been at home working

456
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: on it. There's only thirty two of these jobs in

457
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: the league. There's not you know, So there's a lot

458
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: of good kickers that are out there walking around because

459
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: there's only thirty two jobs in the NFL. Yeah, So

460
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: you bring Telvecio back and as humble as the kid is,

461
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, a chance to talk to him after the game,

462
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: and he wanted to talk about, you know, Josh Harris.

463
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: He would talk about all the work that the boscher

464
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: did to switch from the right side of the left side.

465
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: And it is different. I held for a left footed

466
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: kicker in mc Luckhurst here it is different after holding

467
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: for a right footed kicker in college. So but he

468
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: he was grinding all week long to get ready for

469
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: that opportunity. And then tell Vechio to come in two

470
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: fifty plus yard field goals. Yeah. And and then for Quinn,

471
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I talked to Dan during the week. I said, Dan,

472
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: you've got a great trust in Matt Bryant. Where you

473
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: where are you? Are you gonna be willing to run

474
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: this kid out there to kick a fifty five yard

475
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: field goal. Or fifty seven like you did with Brian

476
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: a week before against the Bucks. Because I don't know, man,

477
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: imn have to kind of work on my relationship. We

478
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: would kind of look up see what he does in practice. Well,

479
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: he had a you know, obviously had a decent week

480
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: of practice. And then as he watched him in pre game,

481
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: and I talked to Dan post game and watching tell

482
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: Vechio in pregame, he said, you could tell his stroke

483
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: was really smooth. He wasn't the moment wasn't too big

484
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: for him on Monday night, think about that. Now this

485
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: guy was at home, yeah, you know, maybe mulling his

486
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: lawn or something. Who knows what he was doing, obviously

487
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: kicking on the side some high school someplace. And now

488
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: he's kicking on Monday night. Yeah, and not only that,

489
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: he's got to kick a fifty six yard or to

490
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: potentially win the game for you. Shows you some some

491
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: ice water in the veins for Georgio Hotel Vecio, big,

492
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: big shout out to Georgio and and his ability to

493
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 1: come in and be a teammate and make the kick

494
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: like he did. And if he didn't make that kick

495
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: at the end, the Jet sets the Giants up in

496
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: excellent field position and a close game still at that point. Um, yeah,

497
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: tremendous you know, performance by him. Fun story, it's a

498
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: cool story, I think. Yeah, because when Matt Bryant was

499
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: out there was a lot of fans, are you know,

500
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I was money Matt Bryant. I was

501
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: taking deep breath. So yeah, Georgio, George was money. Yeah.

502
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: Last night I think George West said last night it

503
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: was my broadcast partner on night at ninety the flagship

504
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: for the Falcons. Uh West Durham. Oh yeah, he said,

505
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: uh tell vecchio perfecto. I think he said last night.

506
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: So it was pretty good, Craig I gave him credit.

507
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: We need to talk to about Brandon Fusco, uh and

508
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: the implications of that. We don't know the severity. They're

509
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: calling it an ankle, right, uh yeah, it looked like

510
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: an ankle. Yeah, but starting right guard. This is the

511
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: injury portion of the show, which if you followed this podcast,

512
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: he is very good at this portion of the show,

513
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: so so'll be good. I got some interesting terms. But

514
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: it didn't come off though. The off Gosh, that's that

515
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: would have been horrific if ankle came off. Think not

516
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: to make not to make light of the injury, but potentially,

517
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: you know, significant blow if he's out for an extended time. Ums,

518
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: walking around the street. There aren't guards walking around the

519
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: street out there, Matt, you know, not tough, not like

520
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Fusco. So what do you think? What I mean, Well,

521
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Thomas Dimitroff. This is where you know,

522
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: you when you start thinking about Thomas in the in

523
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: the personnel staff, I mean, we don't when you look

524
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: at our personnel we have on this team, we really

525
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: on this roster. And so is Sombrella. Both those guys

526
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: or tackles. Yeah, um, could you potentially train going on

527
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: to step inside to play guard? The kids never played.

528
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: So now you've got to begin to think, Okay, I

529
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: got to look at other teams practice rosters, and how

530
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: that works is you can go sign a guy off

531
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: of somebody else's practice roster that you have on your board.

532
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: And Thomas has got a blist of guys that he

533
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: would go after should something happen like this, and so

534
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: you look at that. Now what a team can do

535
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: is obviously you go sign a guy off their roster.

536
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: Now that team that you're signing that guy off of

537
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: they have the ability. Okay, we don't want to lose

538
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: that guy, so we're gonna sign him our regular roster. Well,

539
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: the only way they can do that is they'd have

540
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: to cut somebody off their fifty three. So more often

541
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: than not, if you go find a guy in somebody's

542
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: fifty three or on their practice roster, you're gonna be

543
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: able to get him. But he's on the practice roster

544
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: for a reason. He's not on the fifty three. So

545
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: there's not guys walking around. There's six five, three hundred

546
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: pounds that are just walking the street, you know that

547
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: can play in the national football Like this is going

548
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: to be a real task to go try to find

549
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: a guy providing you know, this is all hedging our

550
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: bed here. Hopefully Brandon with his two weeks can come back.

551
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: But if he can't, I thought Ben Garland came in

552
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: and did a decent joke. I think I think he

553
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: did too. We should say that. And he had the

554
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: key block. I thought his key block was part of

555
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: that with Tevin cut off of the score. Yeah, it's

556
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, but it seems like it's been a weekly occurrence,

557
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, But Thank goodness, the bye week is here.

558
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about the bye coming out of

559
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: the bye big picture? Were you going from the by

560
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna do anything? You mentioned mowan lawns. I'm gonna

00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: mo You're gonna mow your line Wednesday, I think is

562
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: the last shot to mow your laws, a list, your wife.

563
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: I think Thursday Thursday, it's gonna get cold. Oh Cole,

Speaker 1: agronomist Matt Debeek unbelievable. Who knew here? You got? Bro?

00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: gonna do? You're gonna you're calling a game I gotta do. Yeah.

570
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: The week I got no bye week, I got a

571
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: college game I'll be in. I'll be in Virginia for

572
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: North Carolina Virginia. Some would call that a bye week,

573
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: but I know I'm gonna go Virginia playing extremely well.

574
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: North Carolina, not North Carolina, now Virginia, not from Virginia,

575
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: now Uva playing very well. Bryce Perkins playing well at quarterback.

576
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: North Carolina has struggled. Larry Fedor's teams struggle, but I'll

577
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: be doing that game. I will not be coming out

578
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: here to flowery Brancheslkins fans. You thinking we have in

579
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: Carolina that we just lost. Oh no, I didn't think

580
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: we lose any In fact, they probably are saying, that's right, man,

581
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: we need to change some stuff at North Carolina. So

582
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: maybe Well, I like Larry Fedor. I think he's he's

583
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: battle and they've had some injuries up there as well,

584
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at. Well. I love the passing game.

585
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: I love that the running game is is effective enough,

586
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: but it needs to get better. I love that crazy

587
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: Jarrett came back and gave him a spark. I love

588
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: the idea that Dione Jones is coming back soon he loves.

589
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: I got a lot of love for this team right now.

590
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: It means nothing if they don't go out and beat Washington.

591
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: Right still must win. I still think, yeah, you got

592
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: to go take care of your business. I don't love.

593
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff I don't love about what's

594
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: going on. I think we're I think we're doing a

595
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: poor job of running a ball. We got to be

596
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: better at that. You gotta get better. But I think

597
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: that there's certainly something being facilitated off by action. We've

598
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: got to continue to grow defensively. Um, you're talking about

599
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: guys coming back. These guys got to continue to come together.

600
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: They need to take this tape Mark one. Manuel is

601
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: going to show him this tape and say this is

602
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: what we can be at moments defensively. Because you had

603
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: would you had to shut out for a couple of

604
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: quarters or at least a quarter in the game. You

605
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: found a way to limit them in the first half,

606
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: got a bottle that and make that a sixty minute game.

607
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: The third down they were decent in the mid zone.

608
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: So there's some positive. There were some positive. There's the

609
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: back end, sure, But you know, I'd be remissed if

610
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: I didn't bring this up real quick. The trade deadlines

611
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: October thirtieth. I had several questions in the mail back

612
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: this morning. Hey, you know the Cowboys traded for a

613
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: receiver yesterday, Patrick Peterson, Karl Joseph are some names reportedly

614
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: out there that are being shopped. I don't think the

615
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: Falcons make a move. I mean, because there are so

616
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: many guys that they want to resign their up for contracts.

617
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: They don't want to overreact, you know, to the injuries

618
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: or mortgage because there's always a corresponding move or a

619
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: salary cap hit with any kind of move like that.

620
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: I just don't see it happening. What are your thoughts

621
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: on it? I just yeah, you normally don't get a

622
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: lot in the NFL trade deadline. It's not like Major

623
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: League Baseball. You know, if we could get a good

624
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: left handed middle reliever, I would go there. I would

625
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: try to get that that. No, I'm just kidding, but

626
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's You don't see a lot

627
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: of that, and I think there's too much to give up.

628
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: I know it's wholesale changes for the Raiders right now,

629
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: it seems like there's mailing Eric Carl Joseph is one

630
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: of those guys that's now on the block for them,

631
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: former number one safety out of West Virginia, West Virginia,

632
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: And so it sounds like, you know, I don't know

633
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: what John Gruden's doing. I guess he's trying to trade

634
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: everybody that the previous administration had something to do with.

635
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: But so he's got three number ones and the asking

636
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: price for some of these guys is gonna be too high.

637
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: I think Thomas de Mitrof is way too smart to

638
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: leverage his future for a one player because I don't

639
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: think you're one player away defensively, So I think you

640
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: try to manage these guys like Mark jan Manuel did

641
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: last night, twenty different players playing defensively. Get Dion back,

642
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: that'll help facilitate some of that. But you play it

643
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: out and you ride a hot quarterback, get that run

644
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: game going, and you have a chance to make some noise.

645
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: I totally agree. So I think there's a lot of

646
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: room for improvement. Like you uh, you know, with the

647
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: run game in the back end of the side of

648
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: the defense. They're going to get healthy. But there's a

649
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: lot to work on. But every team's got something to

650
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: work on. But there's a lot to like where this

651
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: team has gone the last two games. Everything's in front

652
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: of them. Their playoff hopes are a lot. That's all

653
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: you can ask for um and you know they still

654
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: control their own destiny. So that's that's a positive, and

655
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: that's a good way to go into the bye week.

656
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: What do you think you need to get the hell

657
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: out of here and go mow your lawn? I got

658
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,480
