00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Derek Brackley at Dave Archer, That's DJ Shockley. We are

13
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: here for another week, and we are here because, fellows,

14
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: we got a fifty three man roster.

15
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 3: We made it. We made it. Actually we had a team.

16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're here.

17
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: We're not actually on the.

18
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: About the fifty three man.

19
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: That's kind of how we celebrated. We did make it.

20
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: We did Hey.

21
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's kind of how it is in the locker room,

22
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: especially if you're like guy fifty fifty three. You're like, oh, yeah, okay, now,

23
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: let me just make it till the following Monday to

24
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: where I get my first paycheck.

25
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: And then it's like, well, just so you just hope

26
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: one of those those equipment guys that walk through and go, damn,

27
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: you're still here.

28
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: I thought you'd be gone by now, and then you

29
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: have some words back with that guy.

30
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

31
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: So, first of all, before we dive into the details,

32
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: For those folks that have not watched us frequently over

33
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, we always come out in

34
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: this show and we talk about this being the initial

35
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. So I'm gonna let each of

36
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: you guys give your own take on why we call

37
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: this the initial fifty three man roster.

38
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: Shock.

39
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: I think you've just said when we first came in

40
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: about obviously going from week to week. I think this

41
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: is to be honest, you know, yeah, it starts as

42
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: the initial fifty three because you're just getting going and

43
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: everybody makes the cut, but they might even change it

44
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: to like the ever changing fifty three because, as you mentioned,

45
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: every single week you got to earn it. And what

46
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: people don't understand is every single week of the season

47
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: you have to quote unquote make the fifty three. You

48
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: have to make the forty seven that's gonna travel, and

49
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: then there's times where hey, maybe they find somebody else

50
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: for your jobs. So let's be honest, this is an

51
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: ever changing fifty three throughout the entire season, because anything

52
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 4: could happen at any single time. But initially you say

53
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: initial fifty three because of you look around the league

54
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 4: and everybody's doing the exact same thing. Everybody's cutting players,

55
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: they're releasing guys, and this last two or three weeks,

56
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: just like the Falcons scout statfs, just like everybody else,

57
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 4: they've been scouring the waiver wire for all the other

58
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: guys on other teams. Maybe this guy could fit for

59
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: Uce over here. Maybe this guy is the guy if

60
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: he gets cut we bring him on. Maybe this is

61
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: the guy that's been watching from afar, or you know, hey,

62
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: that guy really flashed when we went down in that

63
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 4: joint practice with Miami.

64
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: Maybe he's a guy that maybe we can bring on

65
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: our squad.

66
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: So there's always after the first initial cuts, you look

67
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: around the league and say, okay, does this guy fit

68
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: better than maybe the guy we had at the probably

69
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 4: the bottom end of our roster. Could he be a

70
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: guy that can come in right now and give us

71
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: an even bigger advantage. So the initial part of it is, yeah,

72
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: you got those guys who made the fifty, but They're

73
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: still always looking for other guys that can absolutely improve

74
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: this roster. So it's it starts as yeah, you're on it,

75
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: but it's always changing.

76
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And when you think about it, we probably we

77
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: could have gotten together and there's about six guys, seven

78
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: guys that wowed it. That dude probably should be on

79
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: the team, could make the team. Remember, I had sixty

80
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: five for fifty three last week, so I'm trying to

81
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: pare it down. So Terry Fonteau and Rahe Morris are

82
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: doing the same thing. And so there they see there's

83
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: five or six guys. It was really hard to let

84
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: those guys go and keep guys in a different position.

85
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: Will now multiply that thirty one more time, correct, So

86
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, there's five or six guys

87
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: in Carolina, there's five or six guys up in New York.

88
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: In two places there's five, you know.

89
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: So now a sudden that that swells to like, all

90
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: of a sudden, there's one hundred players out there, ninety

91
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: players out there that might league look good in Atlanta

92
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: Falcon uniform that maybe if you're in that back, like

93
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: was talking about that back, six or eight guys. Wait minute,

94
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: that guy might be a little bit better. Especially in

95
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: Great Point by Shock, you went down and dis participated

96
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: with Miami. There might have been a couple of guys

97
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: that jumped out at you that Miami didn't keep He said,

98
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: wait a minute, that dude, that dude locked us down,

99
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: that guy got by us, or something like that. So

100
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: that's what's going on, and that's why it's the initial

101
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: fifty three and it's an ever evolving thing. I think

102
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: it's it's not for Bejeon robinsoner for Tyler Algeronny those guys,

103
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: but for those guys that are in that forty to

104
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: forty seven range, forty to fifteen range. Yeah, it's an

105
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: ever involving and part of that has to do with injuries.

106
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: If guys get hurt, you all of a sudden, now

107
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: you got to reach and get a guy that might

108
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: not be facilitated on a practice squad. And that's what's

109
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: happening today, folks, is they're building that practice squad of

110
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: sixteen players, and you hope that's the pool of players

111
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: they go get and not somebody from someplace else.

112
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Think about this, guys, and for everybody that's that's watching

113
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: and listening, is that most teams carried ninety in training camp.

114
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

115
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: That that's the number right? And so to get down

116
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: to fifty three, simple Mass says, you got to get

117
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: rid of thirty seven guys to do right. So let's

118
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: just call it outside the organization thirty one other teams

119
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: that had to release thirty seven players. My quick math

120
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: shows me that's forty seven players are out there as

121
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: available slash looking for work. So again, if you are

122
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: kind of a casual fan, you would probably surmise that

123
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: every NFL team as a college scouting department. What's their

124
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: job to go out and watch college players? Well, every

125
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: NFL team has an NFL personnel department, and their job

126
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: is to always have a sheet, okay, a depth chart

127
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: if you will, on the other NFL players around the league,

128
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: to know whether or not the dude in Miami that

129
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: gave us fits would fit our roster or you're taking

130
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: the chances you mentioned arch that these guys will still

131
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: be available to sign to your practice squad. So even

132
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: though they're not on the initial fifty three man roster,

133
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: many of them will get resigned to the practice squad

134
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: and many of those guys will have a chance to

135
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: get elevated to the active roster and actually play on

136
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: Sundays or Mondays or Thursdays or whatever it ends up being.

137
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: So that's the reason why we call initial for a

138
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: number of different reasons. But this is going to be

139
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: an evolving roster, and it's not always guys. Let's say

140
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: they kept nine offensive linemen. It's not always well, an

141
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: offensive lineman gets hurt, so we're gonna go sign another

142
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Well, not always right. For a week they

143
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: might end up losing alignment to injury, but then signing

144
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: a linebacker, and then the next week they might end

145
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: up finding a lineman to put back on the active roster.

146
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: So it's not always one. For one cornerback gets hurt,

147
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: you bring in another cornerback. If you're lying at that position.

148
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: If you need help there, yes you bring in another one.

149
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: But this roster as we know it, this is what

150
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: it stands as of what's today, the twenty eighth of August.

151
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: This very well could be different by the eighth of September.

152
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Terry.

153
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: Fonteau said something really interesting to us Wes and I

154
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: on the pregame show for before we kicked it off

155
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: with Jacksonville in the preseason.

156
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: We asked him.

157
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: About roster building and all the different intricacies and it's

158
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: a myriad of things that go into it. But he

159
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: talked about, we're looking for the forty eight guys that

160
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, forty eight guy active guys that can help

161
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: us beat Pittsburgh. And so you talk about initial, Wait,

162
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: that's just the first game, you know, So that's not

163
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: Philly the next week, that's not Kandasy the next week.

164
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: That's how maybe tenuous some of these jobs can be.

165
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: Like you're talking about Rack in the back end of

166
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: the roster, should somebody else become available, sod, somebody get

167
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: banged up. That's just the way it is. And that's

168
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: why initial is the proper.

169
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: World and right now Arch that leads me to believe

170
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: and we all know this, but like they've probably already

171
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: watched a bunch of Pittsburgh film and they might say,

172
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: you know what, we need to have nine offensive linemen. A.

173
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: We need this guy to play against that team because

174
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: we feel like he is a great matchup for that team.

175
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: And maybe he won't be next week. Not to say

176
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: that he's not an active roster, but maybe this guy

177
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: will play more against the Steelers and not as much

178
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: in the next week. Right, So this is a matchup league.

179
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: This is a however, we can beat the Pittsburgh Steelers

180
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: and go one to zero to start the season.

181
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: And the other complication real quickly with that is, I

182
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: know a lot of people were really upset that the

183
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: Falcons didn't play their regulars during training during the games.

184
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: The other complication is if you get four or five

185
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: guys banged up that are starters and or guys that

186
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: are going to contribute now, all of a sudden, it

187
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: really jacks the numbers up as to who I'm keeping.

188
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: I'm keeping a guy maybe for this week, un till

189
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: I can get this guy healthy. But I've got to

190
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: let a really good player go over here because I

191
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: got to keep a guy because this guy's banged up.

192
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: You see how complicated it can become.

193
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Offscript here, dj, you brought me to a thought, here, Dave, offscript,

194
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: how many times have you guys either heard the question

195
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: of preseasons hard to watch because they know where affiliated

196
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: with the team, or why do the starters not play?

197
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: How many times have you guys gotten that question over

198
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, just since this is nozaa Nozia.

199
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 4: It's come to my phone plenty of times. I just

200
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 4: don't even respond now because it's gotten ridiculous with it.

201
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: And I understand that fans want to see their their

202
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 4: star player. They want to see them out there, but

203
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: you also want to see them out there week one.

204
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 4: You also want to see him going against the teams

205
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: you're gonna play best as well. And then you get

206
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: later in the year, you're like, man, we had our

207
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 4: third string corner going against so and so, and you'll

208
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: be like, Okay, well, maybe if he was healthy during

209
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 4: the beginning a part of the year, because he went

210
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 4: through pre season, he'd be here.

211
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: So what are we gonna hear? What are we gonna

212
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: hear that?

213
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: Okay, if you lose a guy and inevitably guys are

214
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: gonna get banged up during the year. We hopefully got

215
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: you know, is on our side and on the player side,

216
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: we don't lose anybody during the season, but it's gonna happen.

217
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: So guys are going to go down. Is it feasible

218
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: to say it's more palpable palpable? I can say that

219
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: for a guy to go down in the regular season

220
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: as opposed to answering the questions you we all inevitably got,

221
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: Why is the guy playing got hurt in a meaningless

222
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: game in the preseason.

223
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you can't have it both ways.

224
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: So what ros is he's got these regular guys ready

225
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: for Pittsburgh. So all the guys he wants available for

226
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: that game are gonna be available for the Pittsburgh game

227
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: because none of them got banged up in the preseason.

228
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Because you're right, it's easier to swallow when you

229
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: say a guy get hurt during the regular season because

230
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: he gets hurt the preseason. The same person that asks

231
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: you why the starters are not.

232
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Classes, they're going to say, well, why was he in

233
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: the game anyway?

234
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: It's freaking preseason.

235
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: Yes, it all right.

236
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: So now we know that the guys are on the roster.

237
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you DJ because let's go ahead and

238
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: break this down a little bit. Let's talk about the offense,

239
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: because I got two quarterbacks with me. You don't have

240
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: to talk about quarterback, but let me ask your initial

241
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: impressions when you saw the initial fifty three man as

242
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: far as the offense is concerned.

243
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: I think the one thing that stuck out to me

244
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: obviously was you know, tellyo the Heineke being that third guy.

245
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: That's a big conversation. We could probably talk about that

246
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: for thirty minutes right here. But I think the other

247
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: thing that stuck out to me was the faucul decision.

248
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: To keep five receivers.

249
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 4: And it goes back to what Arsens just mentioned about

250
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: you mentioned as well about okay, the numbers you may

251
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 4: need for other positions, so you may lose.

252
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: Out on one on the other side. And we talked

253
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: about it.

254
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: Last couple of weeks Chris Blair, and we've seen Casey Washington,

255
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: two guys who in you know, preseason or two guys

256
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: who were really making the most plays, would they keep

257
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: six receivers? And when it came out, okay, Chris Blair

258
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 4: was not the guy. Casey Washington won. Now you got

259
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 4: five receivers and you look around and say, okay, well

260
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 4: look on the other side of the ball, and you

261
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: kept you know, nine defensive backs, you kept you know,

262
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: nine D line whatever it may be. And for me, initially,

263
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 4: I say, okay, you got five receivers in there, and

264
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 4: that was a big time.

265
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: You had fourteen come into camp. Yeah, think about that.

266
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: You got fourteen receivers that came to camp fighting for

267
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: a job, and at the end of the day it

268
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 4: was only five that made the roster. That just tells

269
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 4: you how tough it is. And you look at the

270
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 4: depth of his entire team and where they needed more,

271
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: and you say, okay, well, they must feel really good

272
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: about the five receivers they have going into the season

273
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: that you feel good about that. So I think initially

274
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 4: you saw, okay, wow, Chris Blair, I thought played pretty good.

275
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 4: Gave you a lot to think about it, say, you know,

276
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: this is a guy that could possibly be This is

277
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 4: a guy that like we issed ours, This is a guy.

278
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: That maybe you know, hey probably warned him on his

279
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 3: football team.

280
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 4: But because of the way the numbers fail, you felt like, okay,

281
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 4: we needed more guys than another spot.

282
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: So I understand it.

283
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: I was interested to see how that fail because coming

284
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: in you talked about five or six receivers. Usually you

285
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 4: keep about six receivers. I was looking at another team

286
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: around the league and they kept seven or eight receivers.

287
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: So it just depends on what your team needs. And

288
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 4: the Falcons said, Okay, we got five guys who feel

289
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: like we can go in a week one and feel

290
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: good about Yeah.

291
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, DJ, you mentioned the quarterback situation, which I

292
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: think it was a little intriguing because you have the

293
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: veteran at Kirk Cousins as your starter, the rookie and

294
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix as your backup, and you're thinking, do they

295
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: need another like seasoned veteran on this roster at the

296
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: third quarterback position. As we've seen, some teams have just

297
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: decided to go with two and they stashed one on

298
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: their practice squad. They decided not to the Falcons, they

299
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: kept three under active roster, which arguably takes away a

300
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: receiver or a defensive back. What kind of stuck out

301
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: to you when you looked at the offense arch.

302
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that I was the offensive line. We

303
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: kept nine offensive lineman, which is not unheard of to

304
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: keeping nine offensive league gotta have those those depth guys

305
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: that can play multiple positions. Storm Norton will be the

306
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: swing tackle. You've got Kyle Hinton who can play guard.

307
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 2: News Will can play guard and center. Joe bon Gwynn

308
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: played guard and center. So you kind of have a

309
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: bunch of interior guys there. Off I kind of thought

310
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: that there might be and it still could be initial roster.

311
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: We get to that where whoever's on the float out there,

312
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: that might been one of those three or four players

313
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: that could have made, you know, the Commander's team, or

314
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: could have made Denver's team, and you had them rated

315
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: pretty high. That's where it gets a little tenuous for

316
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: guys like that at the back end, yep, So, are

317
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: is this the nine offensive lineman that you're going to

318
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: go next in the next one with? Or are there

319
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: a couple others? And certainly that's the possibility. The Chris

320
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: Blair one was interesting. I think it gets down too

321
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: when you begin to think about the roster and building

322
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: a roster, talk about this and this is Rack's area

323
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 2: of expertise with special teams, and I think Marquise Williams

324
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: had some ideas as to who was the better player

325
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: to put in special team situations. That's where a guy

326
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: on the defenses. I don't know you're going to get

327
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: to that, so I won't. I don't blow that and

328
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: the blow the top off that until you want to

329
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: get to it. But I think maybe Chris Blair and

330
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: we start Casey Washington battling. Casey Washington was a little

331
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: bit better on special teams and Chris was I don't know,

332
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: and I think Chris does a good chance if they can.

333
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: They wanted getting back here on the practice squad because

334
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: I think he certainly deserved, as Shock said, to make

335
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: the team. That those are the kind of that was

336
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: probably the only area that the Heinike thing I'm not.

337
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: I think the Heineke thing.

338
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: There's a lot of motives there.

339
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: One. He can still play in this league. One, he's

340
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: a veteran presence as you talked about. And there are

341
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: a number of teams that run a very similar style

342
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: of offense that we run that might be in need

343
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: of a guy at some point along the line. And

344
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: is that forward thinking by Terry and his staff get

345
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: some point I can get something for it.

346
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: So that's part of that's all part of the Yeah

347
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: we're moving.

348
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Arch knows that, Hey, quarterbacks get injured around

349
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: the league sometimes they always looking for a starter that's

350
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: got some experience that's not playing right now. So yes,

351
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: it's interesting though that you guys did talk about Chris Blair.

352
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: I will make the one comment about special teams, and

353
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how it worked out here unless you're

354
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms and you're on the practice field.

355
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: You don't really know. But to your point, like maybe

356
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: they realized that Casey Washington fits a little better, maybe

357
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: for all four or for three of the four kicking units,

358
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: or maybe they just felt like Chris Blair needs a

359
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: little bit more development, Like you said, they're hoping, as

360
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: we record today that they can get him on the

361
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: practice squad and then maybe he develops after a few

362
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,119
Speaker 1: more weeks and then he is ready to get activated

363
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: to the active roster.

364
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 4: Yes, mister Dja, I have a question, okay, and this

365
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: question goes to both of you guys. When you think

366
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: about Okay, sometimes we think about just receiver versus receiver.

367
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 4: You bring up Marquise Williams. How much could have he

368
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: been the tiebreaker between an offensive coach and a defensive

369
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: coach where we say, all right, we got Chris Blair

370
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: versus a Natron Brooks. Could that be something that Okay,

371
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: that's a determinive factor in which one of those guys

372
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: make the ball club.

373
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, my guess is it's very collaborative. Like

374
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: my guess is not only Terry and the personnel staff,

375
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: but all the coaches are sitting in there and that's

376
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: the one time, well not the one time, but that's

377
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: one of the times where your special teams coach has

378
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: a very powerful voice. He's a tiebreak, he is a

379
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: very powerful voice to say this kid right here, in

380
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: my opinion, is going to help us either be more

381
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: successful or is going to help us win more plays

382
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: on special teams. Again, right now, from what I've seen

383
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: through three games of preseason, this is the guy that

384
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: I want to go to battle with on Game one.

385
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: We know that stuff can change, but our arch would

386
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: you agree like that special teams coordinator has got a

387
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: lot of say at the end of picking this fifty

388
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: three man roster.

389
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: I think it's just confirmation, guys of something we've talked

390
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: about when you go to camp is you're constantly being evaluated,

391
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 2: whether you're in the cafeteria, whether you're in the meeting

392
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: rooms with the special teams, whether you're in your position

393
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: coaches meeting room, team meeting room, you're out on the

394
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: field and you're interacting with your teammates, all that chemistry

395
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: that you're trying to build as a team. Yes, you

396
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: want guys that can play. All these guys can play

397
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: that are out here, but where's that chemistry that mix

398
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: and stuff, And sometimes it boils down to maybe that

399
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: that dude's that dude's really good in the locker room,

400
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: you know, And that's part of what we need from

401
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: our culture. You hear teams and players. It's overused, but

402
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: the idea of culture, yep, that's part of it as well.

403
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: And so that when you get down to the nth degree,

404
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: when you got your special teams coach, that maybe is

405
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker between the two that might be part of

406
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: the mix that goes into Yeah.

407
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the crazy slash scary part is

408
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: that there might just be one trait like this. He

409
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: might be like, you know what, this dude asked me

410
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: a lot of really thought provoking questions out on the

411
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: practice field. That's the mind that I want, right, and

412
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: that everything else could have been equal, and one guy could.

413
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: Have how he came to that meeting in Special Teams.

414
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: Did he come there with the same vigory came in

415
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: as a wide receiver or a dB room and did

416
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: he work as hard in the special team's piece of

417
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: practice as he did when he was with his position group.

418
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many things that are being evaluated.

419
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: That's why practice. I know everybody concentrates on the preseason games,

420
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: and I understand that, but that's why practice has such

421
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: a wealth of information and so much weight in decision

422
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: making and getting into the initial fifty three.

423
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's kind of a good synopsis on the

424
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, DJ, Let's flip over to

425
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: the defense, because I feel like you both have got

426
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: some very interesting points that you want to make. As

427
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: far as the guys that we initially saw on the

428
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: defensive side.

429
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: You know, I think I go straight to the secondary. Obviously,

430
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 4: a guy that I know we all hire on we

431
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 4: talked about multiple times, and Kevin King, a guy who

432
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 4: we thought coming off being out of the league for

433
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 4: two years being injured. We heard a story he had

434
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: a pick in the first game. We saw him in

435
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 4: the last game playing safety. So you talked about, Okay,

436
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 4: this guy's got versatile it. This guy can be one

437
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: of those guys who, like are you talked about the

438
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 4: offensive line, can play multiple positions that can help you.

439
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 4: And when he didn't make the ball club, that was

440
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 4: kind of shocking because I thought he was a guy

441
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: that you saw enough of in preseason, You saw enough

442
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 4: of him in camp. We talked about him in nauseum

443
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 4: that what was the difference making between him and you know,

444
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: Antonio Hamilton Senior, a guy who is in a similar

445
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 4: vein can do multiple things as well. But you thought,

446
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 4: to be honest, I thought he was on the team.

447
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: I thought he made the ball club and I thought

448
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 4: he did enough to be a part of it. But

449
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 4: as we know, there's other factors that go into that.

450
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 4: We don't know what goes on in these meeting rooms.

451
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 4: It goes on between the staff when they break down

452
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 4: what they need, especially in the secondary. So not to

453
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 4: have Kevin King on this team I thought was interesting

454
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: and you know, we probably won't ever get an answer

455
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 4: to it. Maybe ours Candy, you know, he can get

456
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 4: the inside for us. But I thought he definitely was

457
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: a guy that was deserving to.

458
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 3: Be on his ball club.

459
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, Raw and Jimmy Lake,

460
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: they thought that, hey, we got another guy who could

461
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: feel that void.

462
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 3: And maybe he's a guy you bring back.

463
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 4: Maybe he's a guy that you find room for him

464
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: and you never know what can happen, and unfore you

465
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: know it, he's on the team in week two and

466
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: you know.

467
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: He's a part of this part of this equation.

468
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: So or DJ, do I go back to our initial

469
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: conversation and say, maybe he did enough for thirty one?

470
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Others absolutely that they said, and this kid was a

471
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: good player coming out. He was a good players first

472
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: couple of years, battled some injuries, but I saw a

473
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 1: couple of things in the preseason for him. We're going

474
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: to take a chance on him, right, So maybe he

475
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: did enough not for this organization, but maybe for one

476
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: of the other thirty one teams.

477
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's a great point.

478
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: Rack. I think that that's definitely a possibility. I think

479
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: it's probably more of a probability. Right, I've got lock

480
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: I put on my roster as I was trying to

481
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: build it last week, I put locks. I put stars

482
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: next to locks. If you notice that name right there,

483
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: King has a lock next to it. I was the

484
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: same way you were, because of the versatility and what

485
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: he could do. I had Hamilton as a lock because

486
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: of his ability to play some safety too. Abernathy Micah

487
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: Abernathy ends up and so you go back and you

488
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: start thinking about, Okay, guys that play multiple spots. You

489
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 2: forget about special teams. Michael Abernathy. Micah Abernethy is a

490
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: core special teams guy. He's a gunner, He's on different spots,

491
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: and so that might have outweighed what versatility of a

492
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: guy playing a couple of positions in the secondary way.

493
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: And then you also have and this is the part

494
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: that I think that maybe people are missing, is the

495
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: ability for Simmons the safety. And by the way, I

496
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: watch a little bit of practice, those two guys in

497
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: the back end with Simmons and Baits are the hairstep

498
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: back next. But Simmons, justin Simmons and Jesse Bates' ability

499
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: to rock down and cover all of a sudden, we

500
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: forgot about their versatility about you know, oh they're the safety,

501
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: so we kind of take them out of the mix. Know,

502
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: their ability to do that probably made some of these

503
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 2: guys that were death guys, like maybe a Kevin Kingerson

504
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: expendable a little bit, because wait a minute, I've got

505
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: guys that can do that that I've already got on

506
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: this team that are gonna be part of my core guys.

507
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: You guys, remember the conversation we had last week and

508
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: we were talking a little bit about this, and you

509
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: mentioned Micah Abernethy, and I said, make it to where

510
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: the coach says that he can't afford to not have

511
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: you on the roster. That was probably the case with

512
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: Mike Abernick.

513
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: I agree, say.

514
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: What you want about defense, and he's gonna help us

515
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: out there. But I'm betting it was William saying, Coach,

516
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: this kid right here is a of our special teams.

517
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: He has got to be on the roster. And if

518
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: it's like that, it probably wasn't even a question in

519
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: the first place.

520
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: Right.

521
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: Think about Matthew Slater from the Patriots, right he got

522
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: a roster spot every year because he was arguably the

523
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: best special teams player in the league because he was

524
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: that good.

525
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not.

526
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: Necessarily saying that Abernathew's in that conversation, but you got

527
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: to get to the point to where they say you

528
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: are a lock. This kid is that important to the roster.

529
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: How about let me just throw out two other names

530
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: to you, JD. Bertrand would you guys see in the preseason,

531
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: And granted, when you're drafted on the higher end of

532
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: the draft, Okay, when I'm saying when you're not six

533
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: or seven or obviously undrafted free agent you got a

534
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: better chance of making the team, but he makes it

535
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: as one of the four call it inside linebackers. Do

536
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: you guys like what you saw from him early on?

537
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 4: I was a big fan of JD. Obviously, everything he

538
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: brought coming to this organization before he got here was

539
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 4: a big part of why they went on and got him.

540
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 4: And you look at the way he plays, the way

541
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 4: he cares himself. He's in the same mode of kitan Else.

542
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: He's the same mode of Trey Anderson. He's in the

543
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: same mode of Nate Lamming. I mean they have four clones.

544
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 4: I think at that inside linebacker spot, guys who are hunting,

545
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 4: guys who absolutely love football, and guys who are leaders.

546
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: And JD fit that And you saw that through our preseason.

547
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 4: You saw him in camp. Rock called him the leaders

548
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 4: of the rookies. I mean, you can see the excitement

549
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 4: he had when he drafted him. When you talk to

550
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 4: him two times, Captain didn't know the Dame. He was

551
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: telling me a story how the University of Georgia actually

552
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 4: recruited him and took their scholarship. Boy said he wasn't

553
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 4: good enough to play there. And you think for a

554
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: lot of kids that would destroy him. He just goes

555
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 4: on to be a two time captain and you know,

556
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: you know, most tackles, all this kind of stuff. Now

557
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 4: he's back in the state of Georgia where he grew

558
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 4: up playing. Just a great story but even better football player.

559
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 4: I think about JD and I think he's gonna fig

560
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: really great in that room.

561
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: Guess what you can eat, Crow, I'm good enough not

562
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: only to play in this and I'm.

563
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: Good have to play as a profession Just.

564
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: Throw out a couple more names and see if anything

565
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: sparks the conversation. Zion log Lacale, London and he surprises

566
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: with you know, of those guys.

567
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: The defensive line, and I think we could all argue

568
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: was the deepest room on the team, right short of

569
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: those linebackers. I think we had a pretty good idea

570
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 2: who the four linebackers were going to make this team.

571
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: You just mentioned bertrand he was going to be that

572
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: fourth guy to go with Ellis and Nate Lanman and Anderson.

573
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: So you kind of had that. But the D line loaded.

574
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: I mean you drafted in the D line and then

575
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: you added some free agents a year ago that were

576
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: still part of this roster, like Contavious Street, who really

577
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 2: had a really good camp and now of a sudden, Wow,

578
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: there's just not enough room for everybody. And I thought

579
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: that nine was heavy, right because they kept nine Usually

580
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: that's kind of you know you're probably playing when you

581
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: start talking. Now, James Smith Williams checks in as a

582
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: D lineman. I had him kind of an edge guy,

583
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: but he is going to play kind of the heavier edge.

584
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: So one of the three down linemen in the D line.

585
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: But you're talking about you're playing three down linemen. If

586
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: you're counting that edge guy like James Smith william you

587
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: got nine of those guys. Normally you're probably talking maybe

588
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: seven something like that. So that just tells you how

589
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 2: good and how deep that position.

590
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 4: I think it makes another point to the emphasis and

591
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: importance that this staff has put on the trenches. We

592
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: just talked about keeping nine offensive lineman, now you got

593
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 4: nine defensive. Having that depth in this league we know

594
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 4: is tremendous. Yeah, you can have all the skill position

595
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: as you want, but we have been here and seen

596
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: over the years where that hasn't been a strong suit.

597
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: And even with the Julio Joneses on the outside of

598
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: Matt Ryan back there. We saw them get hit the

599
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: most ever by a quarterback one year and you know,

600
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 4: still find a way to do it. But understanding that

601
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: in the trenches is where you can win ball games

602
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: because its gonna be ball games where you need to

603
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 4: run the football. It's gonna be ball games where you

604
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 4: need to stop to run. It's gonna be bagging. You

605
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: need to get after the quarterback. You can have all

606
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 4: the skill guys you want, and that skill guys is

607
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 4: all we are. It's hard to say it, but you

608
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 4: understand the importance of those guys.

609
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: So like Arts.

610
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 4: Mentioned, to look at that group when you know two

611
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 4: weeks ago, when you're like, man, I don't know how

612
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: they gonna cut this down.

613
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 3: You got so many dudes. I mean, big props to

614
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: any gold.

615
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 4: You know, a guy who was in and out, you know,

616
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: left the left the game, came back rejuvenated.

617
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: Now he's on the ball club. I mean, there's so

618
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: many other.

619
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: Guys that fit into the equation and it just made

620
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: it hard. And like I said, this is Rob Ross

621
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 4: said it. You know, after the last game, this is

622
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: the toughest part of the year for coaches or staff

623
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: yep to make these hard decisions because at the end

624
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: of the day we talked about there's ninety guys that

625
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: come to camp. Those ninety guys were picked by this staff,

626
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 4: so actually you felt like those guys would fit what

627
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: you want. So to get rid of those guys absolutely

628
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 4: that makes it tough. So you go through this process

629
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: and this makes it hard.

630
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: That's amazing part about this I think that we get

631
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: that we forget about is human beings are playing the game.

632
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: It's not robots out the stuff, and they got families

633
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: and they've got all this kind of stuff. So you

634
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: got ninety as you're trying to make it. And that's

635
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: we understand when we come here that there's going to

636
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: be it's a battle of attrition. You've got to try

637
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: to survive and advance right to coin Jim Valvano of

638
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: the Great Jim Valvano. So you got to survive an advancer.

639
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: But I was, I was at practice today. You went

640
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: from ninety to fifty three. And I don't know how

641
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: you guys remember this, but I remember.

642
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: When we walked out to that first where is it?

643
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: What happened? We don't have enough guys to play? You know,

644
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: you start looking at others there's like three.

645
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: Guys that were there. There's like five guys that were there,

646
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: and it was weird.

647
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: It was a weird feeling, and you felt you felt

648
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: grateful because you survived, You felt proud that you'd survive,

649
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: but you kind of felt for those guys. So the

650
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: emotions not only as the players and your teammates, but

651
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: also you know, Terry Fonto and just like Shock talked about,

652
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: they went and picked these guys to bring him in

653
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: and get them signed and get him in here. And

654
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: so there's a there's a an investment emotionally over the

655
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: last three month with these guys, getting them ready to play,

656
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: learning the system, spending time with them in their families

657
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. So very difficult proposition,

658
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: just to that piece of it, to try to trim

659
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: these guys out of very difficult conversations when you you know,

660
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: you got to cut a guy loose, his dream of

661
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: playing in this league maybe gone, or he's going to

662
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: have to go find.

663
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: Someplace initially shattered, and you hope that he picks up

664
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: the pieces or or ends up landing on somebody else's roster.

665
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 4: And one one last thing to that point, Taylor Heineke

666
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 4: talked to you after the game about that art A

667
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 4: guy who going into his tenth year said, you know what, Man,

668
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: I really love it. I really want to be on

669
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 4: this football team and mentioned how he could feel the

670
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 4: change and how this was probably one of the best

671
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: rosters he's ever been a part of, and how he

672
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 4: felt so good about what Rob.

673
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: Was doing already in year one as the head coach.

674
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: That's hard, man.

675
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 4: A lot of guys who like you said, you've been

676
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 4: around here since last season, started going through OTA's mini cams,

677
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: working out, getting know your teammates in here, putting the

678
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 4: time in, and then it comes down to, you know,

679
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: two to three weeks that you know you got a

680
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: chance to be on his team.

681
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: So it's tough. That's right.

682
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: Family says, you're not invited to the barbecue for real.

683
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 3: We don't have a hamburger for you. You're gone. Guys.
