1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Matt to Beek. I am joined with DJ 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Shockley and Dave Archer, and you are listening to Falcon's 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: audible presented by AT and T guys. Yesterday's game when 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: at the outcome Falcons fans wanted but a classic when 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: they look back ten years from now, this game is 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: gonna make the cuts. One thing is certain though, this 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: is Matt Ryan's team moving forward. Once you agree, we're 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: gonna talk about that, and we're also going to talk 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: about the inability to generate a pass rush a certain 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: sequence in this game, the injuries, the tackling, and a 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: whole lot more. Matt Ryan's gonna have to carry this 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: team on his back now moving forward. He's got some 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: emerging stars, some weapons. Calvin Ridley, Edo Smith looked pretty good, 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: and he's got the other star started cast Victor's Julio 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: Jones too. Because you know what, I believe that in 16 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Matt ryan mind, it doesn't change what happens on defense. 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: I think he looks at this team as, yeah, I 18 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: gotta go out and I'm trying to score points every 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: single time I have the football, So I don't think 20 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: it changes his mindset on his mind frame of how 21 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: he goes about playing each and every week. He's going 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: to go out and try to score points, and I 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: think he understands what's the dynamic on defense of Hey, 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: every series is probably gonna account but I don't think 25 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: the mindset, mind frame changes for Matt one week to another, 26 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: especially offensively. Yeah, I would agree with the Shock and 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: I think that we have to keep in perspective You're 28 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: not going to face an offense as potent as the 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: Saints every weekend, So to think you're gonna have to 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: go dial a score every weekend, that's not realistic. So 31 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: I would agree with you that Matt Ryan, and like 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: Shock says, I don't think it's changed his mindset any 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: at all. He wants to score every time he touches 34 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: the football. But I think that we're maybe losing perspective 35 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: of the fact that what's the offense looked like we're 36 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: gonna face every week. I gotta see the Saints and 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Drew Brees every week. Yeah, it's definitely a league of 38 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: matchups and week to week you just never know. You 39 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: just look at the scores around the league yesterday, unpredictable scores. 40 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: But from a Falcons fans perspective. When you score thirty seven, 41 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: you're expecting to win that game, and that had the 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: feel of a heavyweight fight trading below after blow. But 43 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: let's stay sack the game a little bit. DJ. I 44 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: know you, when we talked after the game, you kind 45 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: of one thing that you kind of felt strong about 46 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: was just the Falcon's inability to generate a pass rush. 47 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: Vic Beasley had one sack, But talk about that a 48 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: little bit because that no fans are frustrated with that time. 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: I'll premise it this way, is when you play a 50 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: team like the Saints and Drew Brees, one thing you 51 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: know is he's gonna get the ball out of his 52 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: hands pretty quickly, and that kind of relegates some of 53 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: the pass rush and the ability to get to him. 54 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: Because Breeze is the guy. He understands coverage, you understands 55 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: where to go to the football, and he's going to 56 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: hit that third step and the ball is gonna be out. 57 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: And in the game yesterday, the Saints did a lot 58 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: of things where they put the backs outside, They put 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, they switched tight ends way outside to see 60 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: where you got manners own and automatically, Breeze knows Okay, 61 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: I know what coverage it is. I know I'm going 62 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: to football, so it's a lot tougher to get pass 63 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: rush on a guy who understands where it goes. But 64 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: my main point was there are times where you could 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: have pushed the pocket a little bit more than you did. 66 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: There were situations where they want to throw the football 67 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: down the field. If you watch that game the same 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: they stress you vertically like no other team. They want 69 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: to take shots, they want to go down the field, 70 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: and they stress you vertically a lot in the ball game. 71 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: And in those moments you have to find ways to 72 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: push the pocket and move Drew Brees. I know there 73 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: are times where you're gonna move guys off his spot. 74 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: He's gonna move. He understands how to find those avenues. 75 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: But I just felt as though in those couple of 76 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: moments in the game, you gotta find a way to 77 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: get some type of pressure on him to make him 78 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. And I don't think we did it enough. 79 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: And I think there's times where yeah, we tried to 80 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: bring pressure and he saw it, or we brought pressure 81 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: and then we didn't get to him. We have to 82 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: find a way. I know you didn't have a couple 83 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: of guys in there as well, not have attack as 84 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: big Shelby's out. I mean, it was a couple of 85 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: guys you missed, especially upfront, but you still got to 86 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: find a way. I think in those moments where you 87 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: know they're pushing them all down the fields, to be 88 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: able to get some type of pressure. Yeah, I think 89 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: that there's a double edged sword now, because what Atlanta 90 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: wants to do is they want to make you move 91 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: the ball incrementally down the field, not give up big plays, 92 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: make you throw underneath, and with your athleticism that you 93 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: drafted defensively and acquired defensively, you rally and make tackles. Okay, 94 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: well we didn't do the latter part of that. Okay, 95 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: you did the good job of forcing throws underneath, because 96 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: they didn't touch you down the field very much. With 97 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: the vertical throw, it was underneath. Now you have to 98 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: make tackles. Atlanta had a horrible day tackling, leveraging the ball, 99 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: care getting people on the ground. So I thought the 100 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: plan was okay, because as you said, if you decide okay, 101 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm coming with pressure, you might find one or two 102 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. It's going to diagnose what you're doing faster 103 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: than Breeze does maybe nobody, and he is going to 104 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: hurt you down the field. So I thought Atlanta, with 105 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: the injuries and kind of making New Orleans slow play 106 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: offensively me you throw it underneath. Now you got to 107 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: do the back half of that equation, go tackle people. 108 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: And we didn't do that at all. So you talk about, 109 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, you're not gonna play New Orleans every week, 110 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: but big picture, real quick, you are you concerned about 111 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: the pass rush moving forward? Especially with are you happy 112 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: with what you're seeing from that metal push and runs 113 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: around McClean if you're happy with it? But um, I mean, 114 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: if Beasley got a sack a game, we'd be excited, right, 115 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: That's what Tack was on. Tack was on a sack 116 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: a game. You got a sack in the first two games. 117 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: Beasley got a sack yesterday. So we're gonna say, okay, well, 118 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: why didn't Vick get three sacks? Well, I mean, come on, 119 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: let's be a realistic. He got a sack, you know, 120 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: and would be like five sacks. Sure, but Breeze is 121 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: not one of those kind of guys that holds onto 122 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: the ball. So like you're saying different kind of quarterback matchups. 123 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't think you can expect it necessarily get to 124 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: a guy like that five or six times in a game. 125 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: So Falcon fans just be patient. You're saying be patient. Well, 126 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: I think now more than anything, you're gonna need that 127 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: front to be a bigger factor. We all know the 128 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: injury that's happening on the back end. Ye, the front 129 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: has to play a bigger role on his defense. Now, 130 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: if you want to keep guys out of out of 131 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: the out of the end zone, we're gonna play some 132 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: good offenses. That's gonna be part of those guys gonna 133 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: make plays. That's gonna happen. But I think you have 134 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: plays to be made out there as well. So there, 135 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: I'm kind of on the middle of it needs to 136 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: be better. But also this group has to take a 137 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: step forward, especially upfront. Dave, you mentioned just now the 138 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: issue with some of the tackles yesterday, missed tackles. There 139 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: were a few. There was in some key spots. The 140 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: opening touchdown they had Alfred on ted Gin he kind 141 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: of took advantage of his momentum and you know, made 142 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: a move and trotted in and then the touchdown by 143 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: Drew Brees where Alfred and Pool came up on him 144 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: and they were going they were coming in hot one 145 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: direction and Breeze kind of spun off him. Talk about 146 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: that because the fans, you know, in my mailbox this morning, 147 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: especially if we're just talked over, I got a ton 148 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: of emails about the miss tackles. Okay, okay, first of all, 149 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, how do you fix it? Is what I'm like, Yeah, 150 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: we missed a bunch of tackles. So what do you 151 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: look at it and you kind of diagnose what happened 152 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: in the game. Okay. So from a tackling standpoint, you 153 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: can't practice it. Okay, it's not something you could. We 154 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: can't hit and practice. The rules are no hitting. So 155 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: what you're doing is you're doing roll blocks into dummies 156 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: and practice doing that kind of stuff. What you can 157 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: practice and what they've got a practice and what they 158 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: didn't do on Sunday was leverage the ball carrier. And 159 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: you hear guys talk about what the hell does that mean? 160 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: Leverage the ball carrier. Let's take the Drew Bredese play 161 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: for instance, Robert Alford is outside leverage. I mean he's 162 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: out towards the sideline. He's got the outside move. Brian 163 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: Pool's coming from inside out, and Brian Pool's coming like 164 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: a hot like he's coming too hard. He knows he's 165 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: got rocky outside that Breeze can't escape out that way. 166 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: So I, in my mind have to calm down, chop 167 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: my feet, slow down. And now you've got two guys 168 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: on either side of the ball carry. You put him 169 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: down right where he is. But because because Pool came 170 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: in out of control, he knocks offered off of the 171 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: outside leverage, and Breeze looks like one of the great 172 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: runners of all time outside of the pocket. That happened 173 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: a number of times in the game. And that's and 174 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: that's you can fix that. The physical part of coming up, 175 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: hitting a guy and doing all that, you're not gonna 176 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: be able to practice that very much. But the leverage 177 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: on the ball carry, that's something they can fix. And 178 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you Coach Winn's gonna work on that. 179 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell you there was probably I would say probably 180 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: forty to fifty yards worth of yaks that they had 181 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: in the game yards got to catch and Arns talking 182 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: about it earlier, This defense is made for you to 183 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: check it down and methodically, I have to go down 184 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: and field, and Breeze did that. He threw it underneath, 185 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: and now you got to rally to the football and tackle. 186 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: And a lot of times guys are I want to 187 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: call ahead of him. The guys are going so fast 188 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: trying to make that tackle. It doesn't take much for 189 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: a guy to slip you one way another and you 190 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: pick up four or five extra yards. And those were 191 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: going to add up. One big part of this ball game, 192 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: I believe it was first down. The Saint's average almost 193 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: eight yards on first down. The thought was getting pretty 194 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: good at age six. But if you're getting eight yards 195 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: on first down and you got a guy like Sean 196 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: Payton and Drew Brees who've been together for a decade, 197 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: and you give them a second in two or three, 198 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: this playbook is wide open. It's hard for Mark oh 199 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: Manuel for real. It's tough for Marco Money to doll 200 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: up a defense that's gonna be good verse second and three. 201 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: When you got the whole game of the playbook for 202 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: guys who've been doing this for years to call play. 203 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: So you gotta be better first down. You can't give 204 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: up those mistackles. But hey, you're scoring point, You're in 205 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: the ball game. The guys are trying the hardest. I mean, 206 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: that's part of it. I mean we're not picking all 207 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: these guys, but these guys are. They got to do 208 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: a better job of getting guys to the ground, especial 209 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: first down. Yeah, if you go back and watch, I 210 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: was watching the game this morning, and there are so 211 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: many times where Offered flashes into the screen and he's 212 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: just coming high, and like you said, if he just 213 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: taps the brakes just a little bit, he probably makes 214 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: those tackles. Yeah, and think about how much different the 215 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: game is. And I don't know how many misstackles were, 216 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: but I'd be willing to coach Quinn's gonna tell us 217 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: that there were probably double digit miss tackles easily in 218 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, let's say you make half those tackles. 219 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: So now half of that yardage that Shock was just 220 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: talking about run after the catch comes off the board. 221 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: Is there a chance they don't extend to drive on 222 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: third down? Is there a chance where you get off 223 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: the field and give Ryan another opportunity to the ball. 224 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: And when you're in a dial to score a game 225 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: like this one, maybe that's all Ryan needed was more 226 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: and more tamm to touch the ball and you win 227 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: the game. So it's a really fine minute scenario that 228 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: you can fix and you win football games. What's what's 229 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: the probably the most glaring thing in the middle that 230 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: the fans are really because the miss tackles, is it? Well, 231 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: what's the biggest thing that the fans are really? It 232 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: was definitely this morning. It was definitely the miss tackles 233 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: and concern over Ricardo Allen's injury. You know, no one 234 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: knows how serious that's going to be. We talked about 235 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: that last week. So one guy that he's the quarterback, right, 236 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: he said, so, yeah, there's a lot of concern over Ricardo. 237 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: We don't know the severity of it yet. It looked bad, 238 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: but we don't want to speculate. And then the miss tackles. 239 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: There was just a lot of comments about that. But 240 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: you talked about getting possibly getting off the field once 241 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: or twice there and the difference that makes. There was 242 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: a particular sequence in the third quarter that kind of 243 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: stuck with you want to talk about that a little 244 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: bit because there was there was an opportunity there where 245 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: the talkins possibly could have gone off a couple of scores. Yeah, 246 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: you guys, tell me what you think on this. I 247 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: thought there was a sequence of plays in the game. 248 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: With about eight minutes to go third quarter, the score 249 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: is twenty one sixteen Atlanta. Atlanta had just gotten a 250 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: punt and they got a face mask penalty on the punt, 251 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: which moved the ball out to the Atlanta four seven 252 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: yard line. Ryan runs for a first down on the 253 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: first play, or it runs for seven yards on first down. 254 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: Now it's second in three. You run a running play 255 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: and I believe Sweitzer gets called for holding, moves it 256 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: back to second and thirteen. So now you're you go 257 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: from a really advantageous situation, short field opportunity in Saint 258 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: territory in twenty one sixteen. You score there now of 259 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: a sudden. When you're watching these Saint games, if you 260 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: can get that two score advantage now all of a sudden, 261 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: you have somewhat of control the game. And you talked 262 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: about it, we don't really ever have control again, but 263 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: you have a moment that's a short field opportunity that 264 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: the Falcon offense needed to seize. They went three and 265 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: out there a couple incompletions after that after the holding penalty, 266 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: and then the block punt comes and everybody will point 267 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: to the block punt, but I thought it was the 268 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: three players prior to the block punt. And you're not 269 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: even talking about a block punt. You're talking about at 270 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: least getting three on the board. And now all of 271 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're up by a touchdown or you put 272 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: a touchdown on the board. And now, if I'm Drew Brees, 273 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: I said, wow, I've got to I've got to go 274 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: score every time I touched the ball. Those are the 275 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: details I think when as players we go back and 276 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: we analyze, these are moments in the game that are 277 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: what you call winnable players or winnable moments in a 278 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: game where if we do this, then the outcome could 279 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: be different. And that sequence is it's pretty big. I mean, 280 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it until you brought it up. 281 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: But it's a sequence that you go back and look 282 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: at and say, Okay, here's a chance for the Falcons 283 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: to put more pressure on the Saints and force them 284 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: to really put their foot down on the pedal and say, Okay, 285 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: we gotta do this, we gotta do that. It's unbelievable 286 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: that moment in the game and it's one of the 287 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: moment you look back and say, okay, what if That's 288 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: exactly what Dan Quinn calls them winning moments. You are 289 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: listening to Falcons Audible presented by AT and T. I'm 290 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: Matt to Big joined with DJ Shockley and Dave Archer. 291 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: If you want to give us a call, the telephone 292 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: calling line is four seven zero three four one four 293 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: one seven seven. Be sure to leave your name and 294 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: your hometown. That number is four seven zero three four 295 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: one four one seven seven. Guys, as former players, you've 296 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: been through some hard losses. Whoops, some emotional losses. That 297 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: was just my phone. It's okay yet even there, right, 298 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: all right? But you've been through some tough losses, some 299 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: of them beak right though. Some you've you've come out 300 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: of these games and turned it around, and you've also 301 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: probably come out of these games and it's kind of 302 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: stuck with you. What is the mindset that this team has, 303 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: Forget the injuries, forget all that stuff, the outside noise. 304 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: What's the mindset that these players must take right now 305 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: heading into Cincinnati. I'll say, because you're one and two, 306 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: it's still early, yep. And the mindset we've I've been 307 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: in this position before on a team, and there's always 308 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: two ways you can go in his rope. One way 309 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: is you guys can feel bad. You can worry about 310 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: the guys that's not in. You can worry about all 311 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: the things that could have happened and didn't happen. Or 312 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: you can say, guess what, we got a chance to 313 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: get better. We got a chance to write this ship 314 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: and get better. And these all these guys are professionals. 315 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: These guys play with tons of pride, and I think 316 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: as a player, you look at the tape, you put 317 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: it behind you, you learn from it, and you can't 318 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: let one week to a next beat. You can't let 319 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: what happened last week versus the division pale when to 320 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: come back and haunt you in the next week. You 321 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: got to find a way to move forward and get 322 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: more wins and then give yourself a chance at the 323 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: end of the year. And everybody talks about losing the 324 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: Vision Games. But if you have a chance to put 325 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: this one behind you and move forward and make these count, 326 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: then hey, and then the season you see where you're in. 327 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: You got a chance to go forward. I think you 328 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: know obviously all of that it's Shocked just said, is 329 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: that's that's what you want to do. I think that. Now, 330 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: let's look at it from a Falcon perspective. Okay, who 331 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: helps you do that? Okay? Veteran players that have been 332 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: down that road before, or Cardo Allen, Debo Keyan O'Neill. Well, 333 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: those guys aren't. They're gonna be able to talk to 334 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: you from the locker room. They're not going to be 335 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: on the field when adversity hits next week against Cincinnati. 336 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: So who's going to be that guy to step up 337 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: and take that money? That'll be very important Matt when 338 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: we started thinking about that, I'm not worried about the 339 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: offensive side because you got your general and Matt Ryan, 340 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna do what he needs to do there. It's 341 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football who picks them up 342 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, but that's where you really start 343 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: to trust. Coach Quinn talks about brotherhood. The players talk 344 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: about brother culture here. Okay, this is a winning culture 345 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: around here, and so you hope that all of that 346 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: investment you put into that that that picks everybody up 347 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: as well. But all the stuff Shock talked about has 348 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: to happen. But you've got to have guys that are 349 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: willing to apply that and how do they make that happen. 350 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: That's where you hope your cultures built in which it 351 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: is here and who are those guys that are now 352 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: standing that are going to be playing that can pick 353 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: up the mantra. Dan Quinn also talks about that brotherhood, 354 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: that leadership, but also the depth of this team. He 355 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: was one the one thing that he was really excited 356 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: about heading into this team. And we saw yesterday some 357 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: emerging stars, one of them being Calvin Ridley. Final stats 358 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: on him with seven catches, one hundred and forty six yards, 359 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. I think it was the first time at 360 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: rookie and franchise history had three in a game. He 361 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: had the seventy five yard or probably would have had 362 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: more if it wasn't for that PI he called on him. 363 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: But well, and think about he didn't catch a ball 364 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. That was all the first three quarters. 365 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: He didn't touch the ball in this How does he 366 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: change this team moving forward? We knew that he was 367 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: special in camp that he you know, he's the first 368 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: round pick, but talk about what kind of impact you 369 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: think that he can make on this team moving forward. 370 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: What do you what are your thoughts? I think that 371 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: it's obvious when you watch him his what he brings 372 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: to the table. Because now the number one thing is 373 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: if I look at from a defensive perspective, Okay, I'm 374 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: Cincinnati this week. Okay, I'm getting ready for the game, 375 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: and I'm I see number eleven. But waite a minute, 376 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: here's number eighteen over here too, and oh yeah, there's 377 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: number twelve, and you'd start thinking snow Jones, Ridley, you 378 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: sprinkle in a you know, a couple of guys, and 379 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 1: that was a sudden from a preparation stam. I think 380 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: about how much time teams have to prepare. You practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. 381 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: That's it. Okay, I've got to show. I've got to 382 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: show my defense all the looks in the different situations 383 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: first down, first down, the red zone, third down, third down, 384 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: the red zone, all these different looks in a in 385 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: three days and essentially what shocked about an hour and 386 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: a half on the field in a three day period 387 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: that I've got to get my defense prepared to handle 388 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: these guys. That's to me what Ridley brings the table 389 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: all is the wealth of knowledge he has has polished. 390 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: He is all that kind of stuff is really cool. 391 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: But what he does is he really throws a monkey 392 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: wrench to my preparation. If I'm a defensive quarter to 393 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: getting dy for the Falcons. I was talking about it 394 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: during the game. Is yeah, you got number level like 395 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: you talked about, But now who do you double? Yeah? 396 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: I mean he brings the same thing Julio brings to 397 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: a game, which is the ability to take the ball 398 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: to the house at any given time. And there were 399 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: tons of time where they shaded Julio and you got 400 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: one on one over here on the outside. And now 401 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: what makes it even more dangerous is number two believes 402 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: in number eighteen when he has one on one and 403 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't fret that, Okay, can he get off a jam? 404 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: Willie stay on his line and make sure you give 405 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: him time to give him a depth to throw the football. 406 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: He does such a great job in his routes being patient. 407 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean that first touchdown he had. If he's not 408 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: patient in selling that, there's no way that it comes 409 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: open because you got the guy playing it off already. 410 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: He just has a different, i want to say, viewpoint 411 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: of as a rookie of how run routes, and now 412 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: he understands he can win at this level. And I 413 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: know he came in already confident, but to do it 414 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: in a game like that, in a big time environment, 415 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: I think it's going to add to his office. And 416 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: now I think Number two has another guy that he 417 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: knows can stretch the field and give him a chance 418 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: to win at any point. I mean that. And the 419 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: scary part about him, Shock is you just mentioned the 420 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: scary part about him is a lot of times you say, okay, 421 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: we'll press him. Yeah, okay, we'll take him away physically. 422 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: That's what p. J. Williams tried to do on the 423 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown. He tried to come from Jami. 424 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: He uses a little hard inside release and then scutt 425 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: gets over the top of it and stacks the corner 426 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: where he's behind him. Good night, it's gone. In the 427 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: play Shocks talking about in the first touchdown, it's to 428 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: stop and go. He runs a ten yard curl route, 429 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: breaks down completely, makes the corner squat down, and he 430 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: goes right buying and then the ability in the prompt 431 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: to play where Ryan gets out of the pocket, Ridley's 432 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: running a deep over route across, He's going to foots 433 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: his in the ground, retraces his steps, and mirrors his quarterback, 434 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 1: giving him an angle to throw the ball. Those are 435 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: all things you don't That's not stuff that you're just 436 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: gonna handle. Guy, Okay, this is what we want you 437 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: to do. He is as polished a rookie as I've 438 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: ever seen. That counts Julio Jones, whoever has ever come 439 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: in here. That third touchdown, how he kept working and 440 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: kept the Playliffe one thing else to make you excited about. Really, 441 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: go back to last week's game, his first touchdown in 442 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: his career. He said all week he did not see 443 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: that type of alignment by the defensive back when they 444 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: got in that formation that's set. So all week he 445 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: had been practicing against another look. So he gets in 446 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: the game and his live action and he gets a 447 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: whole another look, and mentally he knows exactly what he 448 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: wants to do. Most guys like, well, Coach, we didn't 449 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: practice against that, so I wasn't sure which release or 450 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: how I should do it. The guy is well beyond 451 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: his years mentally, more than anything, the physical part of 452 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: every guy's coming his league everybody's pretty physically talented, but 453 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: what separates guy, especially in the skill position is upstairs 454 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: how fast that you can can really hone in on 455 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: your skills, but also holding on what they're trying to 456 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: do to take things away from you, And that part 457 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: of it, I think is what's going to separate you. 458 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna flip here and talk a little 459 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: bit Cincinnati. Either of you guys ever had Skyline Chili? 460 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: Who Skyline Chili? Yeah, that's what Cincinnati is known for. 461 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: Its Oh I'm not really a fan of chili. Chili 462 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: doesn't acquired sto it is an acquired taste. So I'll 463 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: just say, okay, so that's as what we don't want 464 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: to Yeah, it's I'm not crazy about it. But that's 465 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: that's the thing. That's what they're most prompt you will 466 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: eat it. I try? Do you have to try it? Rightati? Yeah? 467 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: People of Cincinnati's did you bad mouth some of the people? 468 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: I love Cincinnati? And that's this is true that all said, 469 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: aren't you a fani of Chili? I like chili? Yeah, 470 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Skyline Chili, based on the 471 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: face expressions match. We're gonna want to stay it's like 472 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: it's chili on top of pasta with a pile, just 473 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: like a giant pile of Man, you let me ask you. 474 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this though. Okay, chili, it's good. 475 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: It's a little bit. It's I don't think it's an 476 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: acquired taste that makes it sound fun. It is a 477 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: it's a good chili. It's just a good cheap chili 478 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: eating Cincinnati cheep chili, cheep chie. I think it's really 479 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: tough for you to explain what it is, so I'm 480 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: staying away from I don't think they'd like to. But 481 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: in the morning, it's fantastic. Yeah, you know that getting 482 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: so tell me about chili though. Yeah, if I'm a 483 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: if you're a chili eater, and I'd like to hear 484 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: from you at home. Is chili kind of a wintery 485 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: or do you do chili in the summertime? In the summer, Yeah, 486 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: it's still kind of hot down here in Atlanta. I mean, 487 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: I don't think you do chili. Chili's like hot cold cold. Well, 488 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: do you have pasta ever in the summer? Spaghetti? Yeah? Occasionally? Okay, Well, 489 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: there you go. There's your answer. Really not compare pasta? Yeah, 490 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: it's I kind of put it classifies that. Uh, moving 491 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: on AJ Green or well, the Bengals feil yesterday to 492 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: the Panthers. They're now two and one, Um, pretty good 493 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: years so far, but they're a little banged up. They're 494 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: going to come in. AJ Green left the game with 495 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: a groin, Joe mixing, they're running back. Excuse me. I 496 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: love when you start talking about injuries. He left the 497 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: field with a groin. Groin. I think I've left every 498 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: game with a groin, So I don't, I mean, I don't. 499 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what you're talking. Yeah, well he 500 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: did it come off? I was reading about it. No, No, 501 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: that's that's the patelic. I just love when you talk injuries. Well, now, okay, 502 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: West westera week talking about Oh mama, that was good. 503 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: So what was that was that he told the since 504 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: the Country Roads. Okay, sorry, I am not in that John. 505 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: Then what John? What do you know? John? Oh? Oh? 506 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: John Denver? Okay, I'm bad. Sorry, it's okay. Um, we'll 507 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: figure out what's on your ipied one of these days. 508 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: Saw the game two Chains was live yesterday. He was 509 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: exactly your fan of two Chain. Yeah, I met him anyway, 510 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: Uh so in Jay J Jay laha J. She's pretty cool. 511 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: So is anything on your iPad on your your music list? 512 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: Two chains? No, much like you don't have John Denver 513 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: on yours. Let's move on. Let's never say I never 514 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: said John Denver and we're friends were cool. Anyway, what 515 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: were you trying to say? A J. Green said he 516 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: didn't feel anything. Pop I thought he had the wind 517 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: knocked out of him. But it turns out he has 518 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: some sort of groin injury. He said he expects to 519 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: play against Atlanta UM and you know he wants to 520 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: come home. Played at Georgia. This would be They don't 521 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: come down here very often, so I think in fact, 522 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: the last time he played Cincinnati was up there, what 523 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: four years ago, So it's a great This may be 524 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: the first time A J. Green's played here as a 525 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengal potentially so anyway, I think he played him 526 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: in preseason once so, and so this will be the 527 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: first time. Mohammed sanows facing them, this former team, this 528 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: former team. So he ate us up when we were there. Sure, 529 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: so they come down to Joe Mix and they're young 530 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: running back had Arthur Scotpicks surgery he's expecting to play too. 531 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: So what kind of problem or what kind of challenges 532 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: does Cincinnati post for the Falcons? You think? I think 533 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: they're a good offense. I like, I'm a fan of 534 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: Andy Doll and that Tyler Eifert good player. John Ross 535 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: is playing my Tyler Boyd. They've got some weapons for 536 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: pigsbursh Carolin, Andy Dolt. Yeah, yeah, good tough week, Yeah, Andy, 537 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: Andy has the red rifle. A good good player. I mean, 538 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: he's done a really good job for him. I think 539 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: he's solidified kind of what they are at quarterback. They've 540 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: got some good weapons around. They got a defensive offensive line. 541 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: They lost some people in free agency on an offensive line. 542 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: They've tried to research something may not may not be 543 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: know exactly the red rifle. Yeah, you might want to 544 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: explain everybody does he's a ginger. What are you talking about? 545 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: He's a redhead, yeah, the reds. A lot of people 546 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: may have seen any Daltons, so they might not know 547 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: that he's that. Well, if you've had your head stuck 548 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: in a hole, you know he's got red hair. And 549 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: they call him the red rifle. Most people know. Now 550 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: rifle might be an overstatement, but you're you're Scott On 551 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: all right, so good weapons around him. Thing that I'm 552 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: looking at guys for Cincinnati is on the other side 553 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: of the ball. Atkins, Yeah, Gino Atkins, Carlos Dunlap. This 554 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: is a legitimate and kind of a maybe because Cincinnati 555 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: and because they eat skyline Chili, they're kind of lost here. 556 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: But I wasn't good. Maybe you don't know enough about 557 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: Cincinnati defensively bearing the same division with Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Yes, 558 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: but Cincinnati's got some fire breathers on the on the 559 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: defensive line, totally because of the skyline chili. The fire 560 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: breathers he gave you, He gave you a nice look 561 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 1: when you're throwing the skyline chili. Think is mad You're 562 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: you're talking about the skyline chili. Though, they're gonna present 563 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: a problem that no question, any other thoughts. No, I 564 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: think Archie he did pretty good. I mean, they're a 565 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: solid team and they've been a team that's just struggling 566 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. That's the only big thing that people 567 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: look at Cincinnati and say, well, what's the deal there? 568 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: But they're a team that's always in the mix. They've 569 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: got guys who've played at a high level of Pro 570 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: Bowl caliber player like Arts just mentioned a few of those. 571 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: And defensively, they're gonna be another test upfront that this 572 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: offensive line is gonna really have to hone in on. 573 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: And we saw just in the game you know yesterday, 574 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: Saints are pretty good up front. They pressure Matt Ryan, 575 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: they pushed their pocket a little bit sometimes, and they're 576 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: gonna do the same thing this week. So I think 577 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: offensively in the trenches, on both sides of the ball, 578 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big, big test for the founcon 579 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: It gonna be important not to lose in our building. Now, 580 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: we gotta take care of our building. I know you're 581 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: going to get to that, right Yeah, yeah, that's exactly 582 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: my thought exactly there. So they're one and two now, 583 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: one and one in the division. They've got Cincinnati at home, 584 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: then then they take to the road in Pittsburgh. I 585 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: thought this team healthy was capable of winning ten twelve games. 586 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: Should fans temper their expectations a little bit or no? 587 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't. I think that, you know, expectations 588 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: are that you're going to score points and you're going 589 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 1: to find a way get some stops. I think that's 590 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: the way you got to look at Yeah, you're missing 591 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: some people defensively, but you got to take care of 592 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: your own building. By the way, Kudos the fans that 593 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: came to the game this weekend. I thought that was 594 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: as good a building as I've seen for Atlanta this 595 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: early in the year. I thought it was a really 596 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: and obviously Saint fans get there and so they kind 597 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: of start banging heads, which is kind of cool. But 598 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: I thought the Falcon fan was off the charts this weekend, 599 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: and the coach Quinn thought so too. My only experience 600 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: here in Atlanta is the last two years. I came 601 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: over from CBS Sports last year, so I don't have 602 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: a good feel of a strong Falcon's crowd, but I 603 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: will say this, it was loud in there. I didn't 604 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: see any games in the Georgia, so I can't have 605 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: nothing to compare it to, but I would I would 606 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: agree with you that that was probably the loudest that 607 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: building I gave since I've been here over the last 608 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: two years. I gage crowds off how I feel in 609 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: the stadium as if I was about to play, and 610 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: when I was in the building yesterday I was pretty jacked, 611 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: like I wish I was playing in its game, and 612 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: that's how you gauge a crowd for me, and I 613 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: thought the crowd was electric. I thought they were energetic 614 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of time new when to get loud, 615 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: new when to you know, get after the Saints and 616 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So, uh, big up to 617 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: the fans for real, all right, guys and Matt Ryan, 618 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: we trust Bengals Falcons next Sunday, one o'clock, Mercedes Benz Stadium. 619 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: That's going to wrap it up for us. I'm Matt Tubeek. 620 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: We got breaking news. Hold on, wow, that's official, all right. 621 00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: So I thought that on niname to repeat that again. 622 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: Those that didn't hear, I mean, we just got word 623 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: math that that Ricardo Allen out for the season torn achilles. 624 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: I think that anybody that kind of watched it kind 625 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: of whenever you see a non contact injury like that, 626 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: especially a guy just kind of goes down. I was 627 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: fearful of that. I think we all were, potentially, and 628 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: then we was carted off the field if they took 629 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: him in medium. So huge loss, tremendous. We talked about 630 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: it earlier in the in the in the show. Just 631 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: a huge loss for him. Gonna really be tough to 632 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: get him. Not just a guy that's on the field, 633 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: think about and we all get a chance to be 634 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: around him. I know you at home don't eve a 635 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: chance to do anything other than seeing play seemed direct 636 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: in traffic. This guy is as prepared as anybody I've 637 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: ever seen play the game. So someone is going to 638 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: have to pick up that load. And that's a huge load. 639 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: You talk about if if Dion Jones was your number 640 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: one guy, one as one beat not not. I mean, 641 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: this guy was really important to even even inside his 642 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: own teammate his peers. Grady Jared said, this guy was 643 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: our quarterback. This guy meant everything for us and this 644 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: was money after games, so you know his importance. I 645 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: remember listening to this quick story coach Quinn mentioned after 646 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: Rico got his new deal. Uh you know, he had 647 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: a team meeting and he said who in his room 648 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: has been mentored or who has had some kind of 649 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, mentoring by Ricardo Allen And everybody in the 650 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: room rose ahead. I mean that tells you right there 651 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: what he means not just on the field, but off 652 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: the field to this team. So that's a. That's a 653 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: I'll raise my hand too, because I go to him 654 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: every Wednesday to give me some kind of scouting report. 655 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: Is I'm going to do the game, give me something 656 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: to look for. What do you? What do I? What 657 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: should I be looking for? Ricardo? And he's actually helping 658 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: me prepare my job, and I don't have any to 659 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: do with playing the game. That's that's Ricardo Allen. Well. 660 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: I feel like we have to tackle one thing regarding 661 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: this news now, because I got a lot of questions 662 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: about him this morning, and my answer was pretty much, 663 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: let's wait, let's tap the brakes and tell me know 664 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: when now we know, And a lot of questions where 665 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: what did the Falcons do? I had a number of 666 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: people asking about Eric Reid, Earl Thomas. Of course you 667 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: got to take the salary cap into and are they 668 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: a culture fit here? What do the Falcons do? Not 669 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: to put you on the spot too much, but I mean, clearly, 670 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of guys walk on the street. 671 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: My take on it is this real quickly. My take 672 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: on is this is you've got people you picked to 673 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: play on his team. Now they may be playing in 674 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: a little bit different position, but they made this club 675 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: because they fit the culture, they fit what we do defensively, 676 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: So how do I adjust? Demante Kasey was a corner, 677 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: they moved to safety. He's been training at safety for 678 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: a couple of seasons. Just drafted a guy named Isaiah 679 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: Oliver who has outstanding athletic ability, is still learning to play. 680 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: He got some playing time yesterday, played in the dime package. Okay, 681 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: you've got a guy named Brian Poole who plays your nickelback. 682 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: So now if you go basse set, just throwing pie 683 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: in the sky here, basse set three linebackers, four down lineman. 684 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: I got for Dybs in the game. My two safeties 685 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: now are Brian Pool and Demonte Casey. If I go 686 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: to nickel, then Brian Oliver or I mean sorry, Isaiah 687 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: Oliver's coming in and now I've got my nickel set 688 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: in the game where Oliver plays some safety and I 689 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: get Pool back in that nickel spot. I think they'll 690 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: look to try to get somebody within the system, and 691 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: you're you're gonna scour and look and do you do 692 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: you trade for if it's not too much of an 693 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: asking price for Earl Thomas. But other than that, I 694 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: think you'll look for them to boost guys up in 695 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: here that they trust that made this club on merit. 696 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: Keep in mind too, he didn't play. He was an 697 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: active yesterday, but they did sign right good. He was 698 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: the former buccaneer, former West Virginia Mountaineer too. But yeah, 699 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: the Tandy Man, why that's for the Tandy Man. He 700 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: was non can that's what he was known as West Virginia. 701 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: But keep your eyes on him too. But I'll add 702 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: a small tope to to what Arts just talked about. 703 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: I think the point he brings up as good because 704 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: where you're at right now, you need somebody to come 705 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: in who understands the system, understands the terminology, who can 706 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: speak the verbage back there. There's so much communication that 707 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: goes on in the back end to get everybody else 708 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: lined up in front of you as well as the 709 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: guys around you. And if you go to other ride 710 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: and bring somebody in, they have to be somebody that 711 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: understands it right now, who you can plug in right 712 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: now and play. And if you're bringing Earl Thomas, it's 713 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: how much you're willing to give up. I don't know 714 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: where the falcons are with that, but that That's a 715 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: big part of it. And then also, if you're bringing 716 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: somebody outside, who do you bring in that can plug 717 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: in right now? They can't do it right now. You 718 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: got to go to route that Arts talked about, and 719 00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: you have to make sure those guys who are in house, 720 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: they are on that plan and they understand they communicated 721 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: the best way. And then it goes back to Marco 722 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: Emmanuel calling a defense that fits the personality and the 723 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: players that you have on the field. Think about the 724 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: importance now of a guy that, Okay, I'm learning what 725 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to do, the adjustments of different personnel packages, 726 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: different formations, but I know I got Ricardo there, and 727 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: if I'm not sure Ricardo's going to get me in 728 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: the right spot now, the impetus on getting your game 729 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: plan dialed in yourself and not depending on someone else 730 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: is going to be huge. You're gonna you need to 731 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: know that if they go three wides and they motion it, 732 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: that's my guy. I gotta We saw a lot of 733 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 1: guys lined up incorrectly yesterday, and I think it's about 734 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: guys getting in their game plans and knowing their spot. 735 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: Lock it down because you're not gonna have the the 736 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: crutch of Ricardo Allen. If that you lined up and 737 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: that may make you even more simplistic as a defense. 738 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: And you you talk about in your opening the need 739 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: to generate a pass rush even more are important now. 740 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: So Tach McKinley, Derk Shelby out with Gruins this past 741 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: week and hopefully they get them back this week. That's 742 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: going to be really important, especially to help that back end. Um. Yeah, 743 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,919 Speaker 1: and that's as soon as we get Dion Jones back. 744 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: Is November eighteenth, I think week ten, that's the Cowboys game. 745 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: So uh yeah, a lot to a lot to digest 746 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: and see what happens here this week, but that outside 747 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: any more breaking news is going to be a rap 748 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: for us again.
