Speaker 1: And welcome back to another edition of the Falcons Audible,

Speaker 1: presented by AT and T. And I guess it's only fair.

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: I guess it's only fair that I actually am end

Speaker 1: in the studios. I guess we all have had our turner,

00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: like you said. But uh, you know all that's good.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, arts may not be good. It's it's Alma

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: mater is not playing well. So yeah, this after you

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: you guys drilled Missouri many ugly wins matter. Ugly wins matter.

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: You did. You did win in Minnesota, law, so you're right.

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm the only one with a dub. That's great. Okay,

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: there you go. There's our college, our pre show conversations.

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: I can tell you that Arch is in a very

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: good That's what happens when the Falcons get a victim. Uh. Yes, No,

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: I am in London this week, fortunate to be covered

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: a couple of games here for Westwood One National Radio,

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: of course, had Minnesota in the Saints this past weekend.

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Of course, that game was somewhat mooring in the first

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: three quarters, got exciting in the last quarter. A couple

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: of long field goals deciding that game. And then I'm

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: staying out here all week. I got the Giants and

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: the Packers this Sunday, and then I'll be making my

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: maiden voyage home. So I went out on a walk today, guys.

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: I went down to Buckingham Palace, I went down to

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: Big Ben. I stopped at a really cute coffee shop. Actually,

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: does that kind of take my man card away? I

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, Ray, Whoa. But I had to stop there.

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: I had to stop there because it was such a

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: London place to go to. All right, without further ado,

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: let's get into what we're talking about. To talk about

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: a Falcons victory, let's talk about first reactions. Well, I'm

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna have the guys give us their MVP from the

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: game this past weekend, what it took from the Falcons

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: defense and the offense, and then of course we will

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: switch gears and we well fast forward. Ahead of that,

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons traveled down to Tampa to face the Buccaneers

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: and arch is so favorite game the Buccaneers coming awful loss,

41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna play really upset. Yeah, like that seems to

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: matter a whole lot. So all right, let's let's start

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: it off. Dave, I want you to tell us who

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: is your MVP from the game. There's a number of options.

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Maybe it's maybe it's somewhat easy. Who's your MVP from

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: the game last Sunday MVP from the game? Wow, I

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: think it's very difficult to pick a guy, you know,

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: And I kind of was thinking MVP so far for

49
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season, realizing we're playing seventeen games.

50
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: We still can say fourth a quarter of the season, right,

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: So CP would be the guy that came to mind

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: for me and the way he's played. But I would

53
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: have to say, you've got two wins, and I would

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: have to point to the veteran on the defense. I'm

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna go Grady Jarrett. You shall not pass you is

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: awesome Gray. So Grady gets the two key sacks. Obviously

57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: in the last two games, late in the football game

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: when you needed him the most. I don't know if

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: you guys noticed, but they kicked Grady outside uh and

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: and played some five technique this week and coming off

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: and kind of playing that edge defender. They're moving him

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: around some, but he got one on one against Benonio

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: this this weekend, UH, one of the only times they

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: singled him, and he got home and got the key sacks.

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: So you got two wins under your belt. Grady's played

66
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: well all year long, and and I'm gonna I'm gonna

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: call Grady, you know, maybe my MVP number two for

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: the year. I think he's been pretty good from a

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: leadership standpoint, But last weekend needed a key moment and

70
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: you needed one of your players to step up, and

71
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Grady did that. DJ, I'm gonna throw this question to you,

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: but it can be the same thing that arch dat.

73
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: It could either be from the game or the first

74
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: call it quarter of the season. You know, when we

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: used to have sixteen games and it was a season,

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: it was really easy to do first quarter, halfway, a

77
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: third quarter, end of season, A little bit, DJ, who

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: you got you know what, I'm gonna jump and I'm

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna do a little bit differently, and I'm gonna jump

80
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: into the third phase and I'm gonna go with my

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: man young Way. How about young Way coup and how

82
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: consistent he's been through these first four games, and even

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: in the last ball game, dude had eleven points in

84
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: the game versus Browns. He's got thirty nine points on

85
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: the season, and he's averaging nine point eight points a game.

86
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: So you go into a game knowing, all right, we

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: already got ten points on the board. That puts you

88
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: in a good feeling. So I like the consistency of

89
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Young Way Coup. I think we look around the league

90
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: and you see a lot of kickers struggle. You see

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: when you get inside to forty yard line, some teams

92
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: are not really overly excited. They put the field goal

93
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: kicker on the field, And I think we have no

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: reservations about putting Young Way Coup on the field and

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: knocking down some big points when we need him, and

96
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: coming through with a big one in this ball game

97
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: to put us up twenty three twenty. So it was big. Yeah,

98
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: I think I agree, And you know always puts a

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: big smile on my face when you give somebody the nodge. Now, really,

100
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: I was really waiting for you to look long snapper, DJ,

101
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: But I understand you gotta go with the guys next week.

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Nic forwards, I'll give you two quick ones. Arch I'm

103
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna agree with you on CP Cordell Patterson for the

104
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: first quarter of the season. I think he's been a

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: man child. Of course, we'll talk about a little bit

106
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: later being placed on IR So some other players are

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: gonna have to step up. And speaking of other players

108
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: stepping up, my MVP for the game is gonna be

109
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Caleb Huntley. Guys. A game was kind of just like

110
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: kind of like a boulder, just slowly moving along right,

111
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: And I believe midway through the quarter and third quarter

112
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: the Falcons had about forty five to fifty yards rushing

113
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they brought Huntley on

114
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: the field, gave him the rock a couple of times

115
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: in the complexion of the game completely changed. So I

116
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna go a little off script here. Let's

117
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: talk about offense and Arch. Did you see the same thing.

118
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: It was like the offense couldn't really get things going,

119
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Arthur Smith decided to,

120
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna turn around and run the football.

121
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: And boy did that ever pay off. They just and

122
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: up pounding and give some credit to the offensive line

123
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: for the holes they were opening up up front. Absolutely rack.

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: It's a good point. Also throw Parker Hesse and Keith

125
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: Smith and some of those guys that are those edge

126
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: blockers in it as well, and give Mariota some credit.

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: Mariota creates a problem in the run game because of

128
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: his ability to get out the backside, so some of

129
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: those creases increase, right. But the ferocity with which Caleb

130
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Huntley came in and ran the football, I can tell

131
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: you exactly when it was three oh six, third quarter,

132
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: three Sex left in the third quarter, Huntley checked in

133
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: at the running back spot. We know CP got a

134
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: little bit nicked in the first half, wasn't able to go.

135
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: Algier carried the bulk of the load through that time,

136
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, here comes Huntley in

137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: at three oh six and they run the ball ten

138
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: consecutive times in the drive and Huntley finishes it off

139
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: with that five yard touchdown run. But I thought there

140
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: was some resolve up front too. You saw, and I

141
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: noticed on the sideline. I know if you guys picked

142
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: it up as well. There was a conversation going on

143
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: and somebody got really heated. I'm a coaching standpoint, yelling

144
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: and screaming at the big guys, and then the big

145
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: guys seemed to respond to that and they started playing

146
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: not just on Cleveland side the line of scrimmage, deep

147
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: in Cleveland side of the line of scrimma. That second

148
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: level defense was getting ripped off or knocked off the ball.

149
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: They had had. They had a defensive idea that anytime

150
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: it looked like we were going to go zone read

151
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 1: or RPO, they would blitch Kamarama the linebacker. He would

152
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: come to try to get in and Mariota's face. Some

153
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: of it had to do and it disrupted some of

154
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: the really the polls and throws because we didn't have

155
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: we weren't accounting for Kormoramora comming the linebacker. So give

156
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: them some credit for their game plan. Nice adjustment. They

157
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: went to a blocking scheme that took care of him

158
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: in the run game, and he came off the ball.

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Rack, They came off the ball

160
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: and changed the complexion of the game. From a physicality standpoint,

161
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: you just continue to pound the rock. And I think

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: that's a great point, David. This is not one of

163
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: those situations where the ball carriers were just doing a

164
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: great job of making people miss. It was there were

165
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: gashes DJ in the running game created by everybody that's blocking.

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: And I think it's a great point from Daves, not

167
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: just the offensive line, the tight ends, the wide receivers

168
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: that get involved in the run game, and of course

169
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Mariota's ability to sometimes hold that backside edge defender because

170
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: of his threat to come and run the football out

171
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: of the backside. What else did you see offensively, DJ

172
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: that was a difference maker in the game. It's funny

173
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: we bring this up because it was the subject of

174
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: my Falcons film reven today was the offensive line and

175
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: how they were so physical and just the effort that

176
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: they played with. And we talked about the receiver's tight ends.

177
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: I did four plays, and all four plays you got

178
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: a laminated as the kids. On one play cutting off

179
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: the backside. You got Drake London fifteen yards down the

180
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: field getting the most dangerous at one time, which it's

181
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: the safe. You got Kyle Pitts get into the second

182
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: level blocking a linebacker. It was so many scenarios like

183
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: that where and even one well, there was one Caleb

184
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Huntley run that I remember vividly and Elijah Wilkerson. They're

185
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: running outside zone to the right Wilkerson is the backside guard.

186
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: He runs fifteen yards up the field trying to get

187
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: the safety. He gets his second level defender and he

188
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: turned that he's looking for another guy. This is the

189
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: effort that was showed in the run game. And it

190
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: was four or five, six, seven, eight plays like this.

191
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: We talked about the ten plays of running the football.

192
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: It was basically nine oh seven. The Browns knew we

193
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: were running the football and could do nothing about it.

194
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: The physicality of what you run with those guys, I

195
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: thought was tremendous. I thought all those guys really just

196
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: put their foot in the ground, didn't dance too much,

197
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: got vertical, got north and south, and they punish guys

198
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: on the other side. So it was fun to watch

199
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, kind of work in conjunction together.

200
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: And there was a play where aren't you remember this,

201
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Avery william sign This play run like a counter. Yeah,

202
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: you get Dolmon. Dolman pulls around from the center spot

203
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: and he has and he has the seal block on

204
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: the backside in But the great thing about it was

205
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: at the point of attack, he was square and I

206
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: stopped it round in the video and he was square,

207
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: And now you give Avery Williams a two way go.

208
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: He can go inside outside and this is another play

209
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: where Drake he goes down and he gets the safety

210
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: and it's now Avery Williams in the corner twenty five

211
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: yards down the field. It was unbelievable play, unbelievable job

212
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: or of Dolmon getting around there and sealing that block,

213
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: and it was tremendous. Everybody was going right and they

214
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: come up with the counter, just a tremendous I'm glad

215
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: you brought that up. Shock. I knew you were gonna

216
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: get to that play. So that's so cool because it

217
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: was such a counter, and really it was a counter

218
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: to what we were doing. We were running outside zone,

219
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: zone zone, and all of a sudden, Dolman, everybody's going right.

220
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: Dolman pulls back and Shock described it perfectly. Gets head

221
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: up on that defender that left, that defender that's there

222
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: to take care of Mariota in the boot right, that's

223
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: why he's back there. Now here comes the center, this

224
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: big center coming at him, fronts him up and Avery's

225
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: out the gate. I'm gonna ask you guys this, have

226
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: people slept on Tyler Algiers acceleration? Man? You know what

227
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: I say, right when he when he says that, I

228
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: think about the third down and twelfth play. Falcons are

229
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: in the bunch set, you got, you got drinking, you

230
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: got pits there, And it was a quick read by

231
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: Marrier that gets the ball out of his hands and

232
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: he dumped it to him behind the line of scrimmage

233
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: and he picks up maybe with a fifteen yards. I mean,

234
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: he literally just cuts through two people that gets the

235
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: first down. But I think you're right, Arch. I think

236
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: coming in everybody looked at him as just a pure bruiser,

237
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: bruiser back downhill, physical, but he's showing some ability to

238
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: turn on the wheels and you know, kind of run

239
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: away from people at times too. Yeah, that's exciting. Yeah,

240
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: I actually wrote that play down. I always like try

241
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: to write down the key plays in the game, ones

242
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: that I feel like, as I'm watching it live, are

243
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna make a difference in the result. And that's one

244
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: of the one I write. Third and twelfth conversion to

245
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Algier for twenty yards on a screen pass. A lot

246
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: of times may maybe it's just trying to a field goal,

247
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: not trying to make a disastrous mistake or something. All

248
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden instead, it's first down for Atlanta, continue

249
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: the drive. One thing I want to know, we have

250
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks on this show, and I don't think i've

251
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: seen you guys ever so excited about the game. Right

252
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about airing it out. So it's

253
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: just it's just miraculous right at the end of the day.

254
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we understand the run

255
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: games going, We're going better throw the ruck, so we

256
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: want that to be successful too. This episode in part

268
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: talk real quick. We mentioned it earlier. Cordell Patterson's going

269
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: to go on IR, so we'll not have his services

270
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: for a few weeks. We already talked about the guys

271
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: that were likely going to see and granted it comes

272
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: at a good time because there's a really good fresh

273
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: memory about the running game without CP and align up. Yes,

274
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: he's probably been one of the MVPs to start the season.

275
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: But Arch, how do you feel the Falcons run game

276
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: is going to be in the hands of Algier and

277
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: Huntley moving forward for let's call it the next four weeks.

278
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: I think the run game is going to be in

279
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: good shape. The thing that and I think both those

280
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: we saw the violence with which ran with. We saw

281
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 1: the agility which they ran with. Shock talked about sprinkling

282
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Avery Williams in as well as a complimentary guy that

283
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: can and I think those three guys will be able

284
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: to handle the load. You obviously lose CPS just the

285
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: way he runs the ball downhill and hopefully and I

286
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: think we saw Caleb Huntley run very similar to the

287
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: way CP runs when he came in. You mentioned it rack.

288
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: He came in with kind of a there was a

289
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: different feel to him coming downhill. There wasn't this. He

290
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: found one cut which is the zone style of running,

291
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: and he pounded it down the field. He said after

292
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: the game. I had a chance to talk to him

293
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: on the radio post game, and I asked him about

294
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: getting in an opportunity being called up. He found out

295
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: on Friday there was a chance he was gonna play,

296
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: and they confirmed it on Saturday that he was gonna

297
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: be on the roster, and so CP and he talked

298
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: and he says, CP says, hey, man, you got to

299
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: pick up the slack. He says, I got you, man.

300
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: Now he said it a little bit more colorfully than

301
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: that on the radio, but he said I got you

302
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: and he did. He did those two guys. And how

303
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: about the distribution, guys, for me, ten carries out Gier,

304
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: ten carries for Huntley, nine carries for CP. Twenty nine

305
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: carries spread out over three backs and you ran for

306
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: two hundred yards. That's pretty good, pretty good distribution. And

307
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I asked Arthur in his show on the radio, I said,

308
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: would that be ideally be perfect if we could do

309
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: that every week and sprinkle it out, keep everybody fresh.

310
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: And certainly they're gonna have to do that this week,

311
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: and Avriy'll be that third back that'll be a part

312
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: of that DJ, anything else will stick out of your

313
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: mind as without having the services of Patterson. I mean,

314
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: obviously he's a two way threat, I mean three way

315
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: if you want to put him in the kicking game

316
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: as well. It's I think it would be the wrong

317
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: thing to say that they're not gonna miss him because

318
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: he's that impactful of the player. But they've got to

319
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: have some confidence coming off of the way that this

320
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: running game produced without him in the lineup last week out.

321
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I think both of you guys said everything that needs

322
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: to be said to be honest. I mean, those two

323
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: backs came in and showed why they felt good about Okay,

324
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and clean this up for CP. Let's

325
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: go ahead and make sure he's good for the latter

326
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: part of the season, because we saw three guys get

327
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: it done. We saw two guys like you mentioned, have

328
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: ten carries a piece and rush to football in a

329
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: way that gives him confidence. So don't think there's anything

330
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: else to say about it. Those guys will be ready

331
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: to go. And Art I heard you talking to him.

332
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: He was excited to get his opportunity. He's from here,

333
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: He's you know, been, he says. He practiced like he's

334
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: going to play. And I love the mindset that kid

335
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: has going into a ball game and knowing that you're

336
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: going to play the National Football League on a Friday

337
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: or end up playing on a Saturday, and to go

338
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: out and have that kind of performance tells you this

339
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: guy is a prose pro so rack we've got, there's

340
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: a narrative starting to build a little bit. Now I'm

341
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna get on my soapbox here a little bit. That's

342
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm tired of hearing about the quarterback situation. Hey, should

343
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: we play this guy or that guy? Let me tell

344
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: you about Marcus Mariota and what he's doing. One of

345
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: the reasons we talked about it in the run game.

346
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: You're having some of these problems defending the run if

347
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: you're the opposition, is because of him, his ability to

348
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: get out of the pocket, his stuff off the RPO,

349
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: his ability to get the ball out quickly. Yeah, I know,

350
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: seven completions, I get it. Yet seven it's not good enough.

351
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: Got to have better completions. He's not the only reason

352
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: why there's only seven completions, as he missed some throws. Absolutely,

353
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. Has has there been some

354
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: snaps that he's got to hang on to. He's been

355
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: there's been some things he has to clean up. He

356
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: made two throws. We both played the position. He made

357
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: two throws in the game. They're probably about three guys

358
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: or four guys playing in the league right now could

359
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: have made the scramble to his left when he finds Hessy,

360
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: and that's an impromptu play, that's not a rollout. He's

361
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: forced out of the pocket and he's got two guys

362
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: barren down and getting ready to tearry him in half.

363
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: He lets it go to Hessy along the sideline that

364
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: continues to drive, and then the play he makes in

365
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: the final drive to set up the field goal going

366
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: left with Ozy going the other direction. If you go

367
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: back and look at the tape, neither one of his

368
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: feet are on the ground when he lets the ball go.

369
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: He's sideways flipping it and gets it Tozy. Now get

370
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: I get it. You gotta get him the rock. He

371
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: gets him the rock, He gets up field mask. Now

372
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: you're in field goal range, So let's pump the brakes

373
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: a little bit on the Mariota bashing or whatever's going on.

374
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: This guy's been incredible, not only what he's doing in

375
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: the locker room. From a leadership standpoint, there's a lot

376
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: of stuff going on behind the scenes. He changed a

377
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff in this game, guys. You guys know it.

378
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: He changed a bunch of things in the game. From

379
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: a protection standpoint, run game standpoint. A lot of times

380
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: when you come up the run game, there's a check

381
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: with me. You know that, shock kill it one side,

382
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: flip at the other side, opposite, opposite, whatever you're gonna do.

383
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: He's doing that at the line of scrimmage. He's a

384
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: veteran player that understands the looks. So I get it.

385
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: You obviously need to clean up some stuff, gotta play better.

386
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: But you're two and two, and he's one of the

387
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: reasons you're two and two, no question. Well, and I

388
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: will say this, another reason that they're two and two

389
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: is there's a whole other side of the football that

390
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: probably deserves a little loves. Let's talk about doing defense.

391
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: Michael Walker saying after the game that this is a

392
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: bend but never break defense and once again talked about

393
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: some of the plays that I ended up writing down.

394
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: Richie Grant his solo tackle on Chub when they try

395
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: to go hurry up on the first drive, he gets

396
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: that tackle, then they go for it and the coverage

397
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: sacking ends up getting a stop right there. That's a

398
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: huge stop when a team tries to go hurry up.

399
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: If you find yourself out of position, there's no way

400
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: you end up making those plays. Of course, the Hawkins

401
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: force fumble that gets turned over and Cordell Patterson ends

402
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: up scoring. Like all these little plays stack up throughout

403
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: the course of the game. Dave was just two for

404
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: five in the red zone. What are some of the

405
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: other big moments in that game that you felt like

406
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: the defense made outside of the Grady Jarrett sack at

407
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: the end. Well, and let me point out one other

408
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: little thing that not on the defensive side. Tyler Algeer

409
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: on the final run that puts you in field goal

410
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: ranger gives you the chance to kick. Tyler Algier stays

411
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: in bounds. How many rookies know to gear down and

412
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: get on the ground right there? Just a little thing,

413
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: And you were pointing out some little things. Defensively, Cleveland

414
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: is one of the best three count screen teams in

415
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: the National Football League. They try the screen I think

416
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: seven or eight times in the game, and we blew

417
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: every one of them up. They're trying. Yeah, incomplete and

418
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: the one they completed to Nujoku, Hawkins came in and

419
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: banged the ball out and you got the ball in

420
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: a short field opportunity. They were incredible. That the extension

421
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: of their run game. But those two guys running and

422
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: Hunt and Chubb is their screen game to those two guys,

423
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: and the tight end completely took that away from the Yeah,

424
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: exactly right, completely took away the screen game which I

425
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: thought stuck out. That was. And I'll give you one

426
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: one series real rack and I'll get out of here

427
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: so shot can talk. We had a drive. We think

428
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: about the final drive where where Grady gets a sack

429
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: and d gets the pick. Right, go back to the series.

430
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: Prior to that, I mentioned the Algaier getting down in bounds.

431
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith mentioned this meet on his Coaches show. Algier

432
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: gets on the ground, they have to burn a time out,

433
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: their last time out. Yeah, okay, they get the ball back,

434
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: no timeouts left on the board and they're trying to

435
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: move it. They get out to the falcon forty eight

436
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: yard line, first down, they throw it, they run a

437
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: path run the ball. I believe they had to get

438
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: on the ball right away because they had no timeouts.

439
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: They did any timeouts. Algia made sure they didn't have

440
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: any timeouts, and so you get you get them off

441
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: the field three straight downs at the forty eight yard line.

442
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: They don't get into field goal range to put you

443
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: under the gun in your drive that you're down. Now

444
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: you get the football back tied. I thought that that

445
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: series of downs there right before the final drive was

446
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: a huge one and nobody'll talk about it, but you

447
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: gotta stop at midfield to get the ball back. DJ

448
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: who stuck out to you? Because I go back and

449
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: I think about watching the game and listening to the broadcast,

450
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: and it's almost like every player on the defense at

451
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: some point made a play to get his name mentioned.

452
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: The Michael Walker's, the Lorenzo Carters, obviously grading Jared Hawkins

453
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: in the secondary, Alfred. It seems like this was a

454
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: total team effort, maybe not dominant. Yes, they did end

455
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: up shutting down the screen game, which was huge, But

456
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: what stuck out to you was some of the biggest

457
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: players defensively that helped secure the win. I think Lorenzo

458
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: had a big play on a bad at screen. Again

459
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: in the ball game, and he bought a lot of

460
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: pressure in the game as well. I thought he's been,

461
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, very active in his play over the first

462
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: four games, which is, you know, big what you want

463
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: to outside of getting sacks, I think the number one

464
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: thing is you knew Chubb was going to get hit.

465
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: You knew they were gonna force feed him. He got

466
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: his numbers, but you didn't allow everybody else to beat you.

467
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Think about it. Early in the ball game, they were

468
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: feeding Joker. He was getting all kind of receptions all

469
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: over the play. Second half, he may have had one catch,

470
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: I may believe, and you forced him into that fumble.

471
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: You know obviously in the ball game. But I thought

472
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: the red zone defense, I thought your ability to take

473
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: away all their other guys and new Chubb's gonna get it.

474
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: But you didn't allow Kareem Hunt to go out here

475
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: and rush for a hundred yards or catch another seventy

476
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: five yards in the past game. But I thought biggest

477
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: things was, hey, we talked about it. Forcing that was

478
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: in that turnover and downs. Then they had another time

479
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: inside the red zone and I mean within the five

480
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: and you forced a field goal Ben but not break

481
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: was absolutely what his defense about and gave the Falcons

482
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: a chance to really stay in this ball game and

483
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: put depression on them lading the game. But I thought,

484
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: not allowing your other guys on their side to win

485
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: in this game, because you always say, hey, they always

486
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: got to start. They're gonna make plays their NFL team,

487
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: But you don't allow two, three, four of the guys

488
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: to have a big game to contribute to the one

489
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: that's already gone. By the way. A. J. Terrell put

490
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: a guy named Amara Cooper and witness protection. I think, well,

491
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: I think he had what do you have one grab

492
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: in the game. I didn't even I don't think I

493
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: ever mentioned his name on the radio. Now it's the

494
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: superlatives are thrown out rightly, so guys, but there are

495
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: things to fix. We talked a little bit about the offense. Defensively,

496
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: you got to tackle better. Yeah, they did not tackle

497
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: overly well in this game. There were a number of

498
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: plays they were in position to make plays and ended

499
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: up being five or six more yards which allowed Cleveland

500
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: to convert, No question about that. So I think, and

501
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: then that the pin and pull, you're gonna see that.

502
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna see counter tray or pin and pull

503
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: rack where they're gonna pin down and they're gonna pull

504
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: those two guys around. Cleveland had tremendous amount of success.

505
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Now to bread and butter play for them. A lot

506
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: of teams can't run that. I don't know if Tampa

507
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: can duplicate that, but we know it's a copycat league.

508
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna see it unless you can stop it. So

509
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: there are some things to fix. It's not perfect, but

510
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: they're playing four quarters in their finding way to win games.

511
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's talk it a little bit about that, Dave,

512
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: because you mentioned we face the team in Cleveland last

513
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: weekend that wanted to pound the rock and arguably one

514
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: of the top running backs in the league and Nick

515
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: Chubb and things are going to change this week. All right.

516
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: You got Leonard Fournette who has basically taken the line

517
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: share of the snaps in the backfield for the Tampa

518
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. But now they're gonna go up against the

519
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: goat arguably one of the best passers in the history

520
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: of the National Football League, with a guy named Mike

521
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: Evans that knows how to go up and catch the ball.

522
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: Now you look at Tampa Bay guys and it's almost

523
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: like the tale of two seasons. I call it before

524
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football against Kansas City and then the game

525
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: against Kansas City because the Chiefs just dominated them by

526
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: running the football and basically doing whatever they wanted, forcing

527
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to basically throw the entire game through the air. So, Dave,

528
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: what are the Falcons gonna face this weekend and some

529
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: of the things that need to get cleaned up that

530
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: could get exposed against the Buccaneers. Yeah, number one is

531
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: going to be the tackling. You're gonna have to tackling

532
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: space because they're gonna get fourn at the football in

533
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. They're throwing it to him,

534
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: they're handing it to him. They saw what Chubb had

535
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: some success in that. You're gonna probably get an opportunity

536
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: to stop the pin and pull and try to get

537
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: to get him on the ground. There. The short passing

538
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: attack is a big deal. Brady gets the ball out

539
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: pretty quickly unless he's gonna hold it to throw the

540
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: ball down the field to Evans. That's a tough matchup

541
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: for aj Terrell. On the other side, they got run on.

542
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: You mentioned it. Rack. Kansas City doesn't necessarily come in thinking, Okay,

543
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna run the rock they did in the game

544
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: against against a team that has a reputation for being

545
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: one of the best run defenses in the league. You

546
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: can bet the Devin White and Lavante David all their

547
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: hearing is how they got the run ball run on them.

548
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: And here comes the team that just ran for two

549
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards. What do you think they're gonna try to stop.

550
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna gang up on the run. So to me,

551
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: that really gives you an opportunity. They're willing to play

552
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: some man coverage in the secondary, and frankly, I don't

553
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: think they're good enough to do that. So I think

554
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some opportunities. Got to be willing to

555
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: take those shots with Pitts in London and some of

556
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: the ozet one on one against some of those guys

557
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: down the field, and DJ and Falcons will get a

558
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: chance to face a couple of former Falcons, of course,

559
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Russell Russell Gage both down on Tampa. Both

560
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: guys have been a little bit dinged up and necessarily

561
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: haven't necessarily had great seasons yet. But what sticks out

562
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: to you about this Tampa matchup for Atlanta to be

563
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: able to continue some of this momentum that they developed

564
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: last weekend. You bring up two guys who's former players

565
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: to gauge right now, is the most targeted guy for

566
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady right now? I know they have a couple

567
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: of guys out, and you know Gage's been in and out,

568
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: but he's the most targeted guy for him. So you

569
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: know he has a familiarity already with Russell Gage. So

570
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: you got to make sure that you know where gauges.

571
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: But I think the number one thing coming to this

572
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: game versus Tampa on the road is kind of similar

573
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: what you've already done. It's not a different sauce you

574
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: gotta come into this ball game with because you've done

575
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: all the things to keep you in these ball games

576
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: and win the last two. But one thing that sticks

577
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: out to me is you had one penalty Verst to Browns.

578
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: One penalty. That one penalty came first Drake to London

579
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: when he was, you know, trying to fight a guy

580
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: off and got the face mask called. You have to

581
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: be disciplined versus a team like this, and then defensively,

582
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: I think it's what you've done, which is you've gotten

583
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: the football away in four consecutive games, you forced them

584
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: to turn the football over. If you can do that,

585
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: take some possessions away from them and then turn it

586
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: over to your offense, where your offense versus in all

587
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: four games have moved to football without a problem. I

588
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: don't suppect that to be a problem this week as well.

589
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: So I think continue to be disciplined on the road

590
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: is always a big factor and win that turnover margin

591
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: is always huge and you can say it probably in

592
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: every ball game. Yeah, I'm glad that you mentioned the penalty, DJ,

593
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: because that was one of them. I'll show you, guys

594
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: real quick. Here here's my sheet of notes that I

595
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: wrote now with all the stuff from the Dalkins game.

596
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: One of them I have on the right just one

597
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: penalty for fifteen yards. And you're right. I mean, I

598
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: feel like there's some areas that they're going to have

599
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: to make sure that they end up performing really well

600
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: and no penalties, converting the red zone, no turnovers, keep

601
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: stealing the football away on defense and special teams, and

602
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: they'll definitely have a chance in this game. So, Arch DJ,

603
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: how are we feeling, guys? Like? I love the energy today,
