00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: We did okay last week, so yeah, we're down a man,

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: but we'll take the next man up mentality here. But

Speaker 1: all the Falcon fans around around the country. I hope

Speaker 1: you guys had a great Christmas and hopefully the new

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: year is much more prosperous and very much more beneficial

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: as a Falcon fan coming out a second that we

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: got a little Christmas present early from the Falcons with

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: a twenty four ten win in Charlotte. We'll talk a

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: little bit about that, Dave, and since we're already so

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: deep into the Tampa week, we'll jump right into that

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: final game here against the Bucks. But pretty good showing

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was slid three tds. The run game was

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: even though Tevan only carried it ten times, and left

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: pleasant surprise with Brian Hill and the defense forced a

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: season high four turnovers. I don't know where you want

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: to jump in. There's a lot of good things that

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: came out of that game. I know they played a

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in Tyler Heineck. Taylor Heineke. Sorry, still though

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: very there's a lot of weapons on that team in

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: very good defense. Where do you want to jump in on?

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: Carl Well? I think the thing that kind of jumps

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: out at me is you played Carolina twice week two

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: and then all the way out were counting them buy

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: week sixteen. You play them in the second to last

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: game of the year. One hundred and seventy on the

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: ground in Week two, went for one ninety four in

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: this game. Who would have thunked that you'd put up

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: that kind of yards almost four hundred yards of rushing

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: offense on that defense. And again, is you just mentioned

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: that's a pretty solid unit. As far as who was

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: in there now, they were Mission Shack Thompson, the linebacker,

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: the young linebacker. He didn't play in this game, but

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis didn't play in Week two, so you kind

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: of had a trade out there. And I would argue

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: that this this Carolina defense, we just saw it the

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: week before, completely shut down a team that is the

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: number one seed in the NFC in New Orleans Saints.

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: He scored twelve points in the game and got out

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: of there just by the neck of their you know,

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: by the hair on the on their neck. Yeah, getting

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: out there with a win. And Atlanta goes in and

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: rips off that kind of yardage against them, against Luke Keakley,

49
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: and you'd argue that their secondary is much better. The

50
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: emergence of Dante Jackson at one of the corners Bradford's

51
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: been saw they get two good safeties. Thought it was

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: a very good effort by the offense against that defense.

53
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: It felt like a complete team win. And you know,

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: again the things you were kind of looking for the

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: second half the season here, did Matt Ryan have a

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: clean pocket? He did for the most part. Did the

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: run game get going. Yes, they didn't run. They didn't

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: run the ball a whole lot. They didn't have a

59
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: bunch of opportunities dan Quinn was talking about today. They

60
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: didn't have a ton of run plays, they didn't have

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: a ton of offensively had eight plays in the game. Yeah,

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: and so but my goodness, you know, you know, I

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: think Brian Hill had eight carries and Tevin had ten.

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: So still they put efficient efficient and I know a

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: lot of those yards came on two or three runs,

66
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: but still, but you got a couple of explosives. That

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: was key. We hadn't been getting explosives in the run

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: game until the last you know, here the last couple

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: of weeks, you've gotten a few, and that's kind of

70
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: what they were hoping for. And then as you see

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: that unfold, now you see how the run game then

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: affects everything else. We talk about it every week this year.

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: When you can play action off of a viable run game,

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: not just off of a run game that's kind of

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: puddling around, I'm talking to a viable run game, it's

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: gash and you now you get safeties crashing down Ridley

77
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: wide open down the field because the safety misreads it.

78
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: You've got line yeah, you got linebackers crashing those deep

79
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: hard play action fakes. You got snow and Ridley wide

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: open for touchdowns. So you can see how it affects

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. You know, fans at this

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: point in the year that you know, everyone knows that

83
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: Falcon has been eliminated from the playoff contention. They want hope,

84
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: They want to talk about, you know, free agency and

85
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: the draft and all those other things. But there are

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: there were some positive signs in this game and Franklin

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of games and things I'm going to

88
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: be looked for in the in that last game. But

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: just you know, you talk about the defense, and we

90
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: got pressure on the Panthers quarterback and you know, forced

91
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: the turnovers and a couple of those. I think there

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: was a at least two plays that were negated that

93
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: were positive for the defense because of penalty. But it

94
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: felt like we were in his face a whole lot

95
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: more than the stat sheet says. He was beat up. Now, yeah, boy,

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: they beat him up bad. I talked to Bruce Urvan

97
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: postgame and his elbow. He said, I've seen a lot

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that kid. That kid was hurting late in

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: the gah. They're beating him up. But there were so

100
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: many positives that you can take from this game. I

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: like the play of Isaiah Oliver. I like the Brian Hill.

102
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Bruce Irvin is playing a little bit

103
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: more than just on the nickel packages he started, so

104
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: they're using them more than just a nickel and he's

105
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: making a bit of a difference. I don't you know,

106
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 1: we won't get into whether or now who's come, who's

107
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna stay, and who's gonna go next year, but there

108
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: are some positives, absolutely, and and you know, I don't

109
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: know which one you want to jump into. Well, it's

110
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: just I just think that that's what the fans want

111
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: to hear about. And we saw it well, and think

112
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: about this, and you and I know this because we're

113
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: in and around the team all the time. But you

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: never make excuses about guys that aren't playing. But what

115
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: magnifies the guys that aren't playing is one of those

116
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: guys comes back. And it's no accident that you're playing

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: better defense or creating turnovers and creating problems at the

118
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: quarterback as Matt's talking about. With Dion Jones back on

119
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: the field and Deon Jones's ability to affect the game. Now,

120
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey still had a great day, okay, and he

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: had a great day in Week two when Dion was

122
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: not on the field, but he created enough problems they

123
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: played with more confidence. Think about the last two weeks, okay,

124
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: get seven takeaways as a defense in the last two

125
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: weeks the Cardinal turnovers were different. They created either a

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: score Deon picks it off for a touchdown, or you

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: created short field opportunities for your offense that they cashed.

128
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: In this week, turnovers manifested itself in another scenario where

129
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: you kept the other team off the board. A number

130
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: of them were deep in Falcon territory and you had

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: a couple of turnovers down there that took the ball away.

132
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Oliver interception. Jack Crawford came up with

133
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: an interception, but you had a couple of interceptions deepened,

134
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: and so that takes not only does it take points

135
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: off the board for the opposition, it takes some start chatam,

136
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: it takes some of their momentum, takes some of the

137
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: the air out of their balloon, if you will, and

138
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: so it changes the dynamic of the game. So just

139
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: in that, I mean, this was a team that had

140
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: what we have Matt going into I think the Cardinal game.

141
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: I want to see the team at thirteen or fourteen

142
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: takeaways for the year in the first thirteen games. In

143
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: the last two games, you've got seven takeaways. That's how

144
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: the game can You can change the game with that

145
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: dynamic and creating those plays. I'm glad you brought that up,

146
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: because on Atlanta Falcons dot Com Leader today are after

147
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: further review piece, a weekly piece that we do, We're

148
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: focusing specifically on the turnover ratio and how that has

149
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: really told the story of the twenty eighteen season. Dan

150
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: Quinn talks about that ratio all the time and how

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: he challenged his team at the tal end of the

152
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: season here to increase the turnovers and bring it and

153
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: when you when you dive into the numbers, it's it's mine.

154
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty talent. But Q talks about the value of

155
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: the ball, and I think sometimes value the ball it

156
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: just kind of goes over your head and you say, okay, yeah, yeah,

157
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: I get it. The value of the ball. I can't

158
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: score unless I have the ball. But the value of

159
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: the ball is in the actual play itself. Dropped interceptions.

160
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: We had a number of them this year. True dropped

161
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: a couple, Offord dropped a couple, even don here against

162
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay dropped interception or two. Value of making that play,

163
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: just that single play, would it manifests itself into of

164
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: everything around it, the potential short field opportunities, potential scoring,

165
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: keeping the other team off the board. That's where when

166
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: you start talking about if you're a player and you

167
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: start trying to digest what Quinn's talking about, a value

168
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the ball, that's got to be the first thing that

169
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: comes in your mind. I've got to make that play.

170
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: I can't just think of it in a general term. Yeah,

171
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: we value the ball, well, make that play. We didn't

172
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 1: do enough of that defensively. Make those plays, and subsequently

173
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: you look up and you say, wow, if we'd made

174
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: that player that play, all of a sudden, we're nine

175
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: and seven, we're in a playoff picture. That's the difference.

176
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: And it's that much in a game or in a season. Absolutely, yes. Yeah.

177
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: So now we the Falcons are coming off this twenty

178
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: four ten win. They wrap up the season in Tampa

179
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: against a five and ten Bucks team. They played They

180
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: played Dallas last week. It was a Dallas jumped out

181
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: to a bigger league, but they made it a game

182
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: at the end. This is a good team. This is

183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: a very good offense, I should say, right. Their problem

184
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: is is that you talk about turnovers. They turned the balls,

185
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: but they rank up in the top ten as far

186
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: as passing yards and well their number one in the

187
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: league and passing the Bay are yes, and but their

188
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks particularly haven't made the best decisions. Fitzpatrick and twenty

189
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: five interceptions for the two quarterbacks combined. Yeah, Jameis Winston

190
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: and Fitzpatrick have turned it over twenty five times. In fact,

191
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: James turned it over twice against the Cowboys last week,

192
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: laid the ball in the ground, one was a scoop

193
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: and score thirty four. Take the turnovers for for Tampa,

194
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: they're minus eighteen or nineteen, which is second to last

195
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, and uh, I think it is the

196
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: worst actually um there. But their defense has struggled. They

197
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: have they have talent on the team. They have players.

198
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: They've got some young players that are they're going to

199
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: be good. Vita Bay, impress me against the Cowboys big

200
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: time around to wash the tub. You know, there's there's

201
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: slot receiver David Humphries. You know, he's like they're true

202
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: number two now with with the Evans, they've got playmakers.

203
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: But I think the key for this game is going

204
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: to be taken advantage of the opportunities and if and

205
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: if Jamis is going to press or throw some questionable balls,

206
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: questionable balls into areas you've got to capitalize on that. UM,

207
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have a lot of thoughts about yeah,

208
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: but yeah, there's a lot of stuff to digest about

209
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: that they are they are turnover waiting to know, and

210
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: you got to keep it going right because there's kind

211
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: of kind of been going that direction. Jamis is a

212
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: guy that wants to push the ball down the field.

213
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: He's not a He'll take a few dinks and dunks,

214
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: but at some point he gets impatient and he wants

215
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: to push the ball down the field. That's why he

216
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: turns it over so much. Now they're a big play offense.

217
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: You've got Mike Evans, DeShawn Jackson, Chris Godwin, Adam Humphreys.

218
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: You just talked about the receivers. It's a big time

219
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. They can go get the football, but

220
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: he will shove the ball into coverage. So now it

221
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: goes back to that what we just talked about, value

222
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: the ball. The ball is going to be in harm's way.

223
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: Do you take advantage of those opportunities? And that has

224
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: to Brian Poole had an interception against this Tampa Bay

225
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: team in Week six. So those are the kind of

226
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: players you're gonna take advantage of they will put the

227
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: ball in Harm's away. That's why they are where they

228
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: are from a turnover standpoint, Do you take advantage like

229
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Matt's talking about, to take advantage of those opportunities they

230
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: need to. I think that's going to be a big

231
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: heat of this game. And on the flip side, they

232
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: need to just keep doing what they've been doing the

233
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: last couple of games protecting Matt. They've done a nice job.

234
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: Tyson Brows done nice job. I think, yeah, he's he's

235
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: he has made so I think he's made He's made

236
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of headway now as far as him

237
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: being a part of the conversation, not saying he's won

238
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: a job, but he's in the conversation now. And I

239
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: think Brian Schrader will be given an opportunity to compete

240
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: and stuff when we get into next year and we'll

241
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that. So but you gotta

242
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: love that kind of scenario. Tyson Bill has done that,

243
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: I think from me. A key scenario in this game

244
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: against Tampa will be their front four. They're beat up

245
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: at linebacker. Quan Alexander won't play. Lavante David's a big

246
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: time player, he will play at linebacker. He's one of

247
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: the great tacklers in the backfield of all time. I mean,

248
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: I think he's got one hundred and ten career tackles

249
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: for loss of the linebacker spot. Big time player. But

250
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: their front four, Jason Pierre Paul Gerald McCoy up front,

251
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: Those two guys that combined for I think seventeen or

252
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: eighteen sacks, So they can heat you up. And they've

253
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: had some success against Atlanta in the past. So I think,

254
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: to me, if you can control the front four, I

255
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: think he could really hurt a vulnerable back seven because

256
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: of some injuries. And I don't think they're playing with

257
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: a ton of confidence. A lot of people have been asking, Hey,

258
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: are the starters going to play? Yes, they're gonna play.

259
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: Are is Julio going to play? If he can go,

260
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Yes he can go. He's gonna play. Dan quinn that

261
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: they are not into resting starters. They are not into

262
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: I get a ton of questions, damn about Hey, why

263
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: are they winning, Why why they went from a six

264
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: to attend in the draft, or you know what. I

265
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: was talking to Rich McKay today at lunch, the president

266
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: of the Falcons, and you know what, any of those

267
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: teams that we just beat would have given anything to

268
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: trade places and get a win. It's important to those players.

269
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: It's some players important to the coaches, and whether they

270
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: go from a six to attend in the draft, you

271
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: can still find good players. They're not thinking about a

272
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: guy that's not on the team yet. They're thinking about

273
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: this season finishing strong, and they want to win this game. Yeah,

274
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: and that's the job. That's the job of the personnel apartment,

275
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: right man. I mean, with seasons over now, go get

276
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: us some more players, or go find a couple of

277
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: guys that fit in if you can find some. Our

278
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: job right now as professionals is to go play when

279
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: put the best product on the field. I talked about

280
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: this a couple of times over the last couple of weeks.

281
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: If I got a chance to go to the Tampa

282
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: game and I'm a young fan and I'm coming to

283
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: watch Julio Jones or I'm coming to watch Matt Ryan,

284
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: that might be the only chance I'd get a chance

285
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: to play. And I know it's in those guys' minds.

286
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: So that's why Julio lined up last week, because I mean,

287
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: if you go back and look what Julio had to

288
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: do to get on the field. In that first series,

289
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: they had him running on a treadmill that had a

290
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: belt wrapped around it where or he had he had

291
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: a device wrapped around it where it took his body

292
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: up off the ground so he could lamentimize how much

293
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: weight he was running with on a treadmill. It created

294
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: an air pocket where and he worked to getting up

295
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: to eighty ninety percent of his body weight through the

296
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: week so he could play. He goes in to catch

297
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: us four passes, twenty yards and a touchdown. He gave

298
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: his what all he had that series and then that

299
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: was it. But you gotta love the fact that you

300
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: got guys liked that Grady Jarrett. Grady's got all sorts

301
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: of stuff. I mean, he's taped up on his knee,

302
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: his shoulder, his back, but he wants to go play

303
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: because that's who he is. And that's Frankly, isn't that

304
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: who you want to line up with? Right? And I

305
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: was going to say, at this time of year, there's

306
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: a lot of banged up guys, but it says something

307
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: when the best players on your team are out there

308
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: getting after it, and you know Couli. You've mentioned it

309
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: was a game time decision, had multiple injuries, ribbon hip.

310
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: As you pointed out, that's a fantastic story. I hadn't

311
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: heard that one, but that says everything, and that says

312
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: everything about the guy. And if that's your team leader,

313
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm following this guy. I'm going into battle this guy,

314
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: and he's my leader, and he's the example the guy

315
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I want to emulate if I'm another receiver. Enough said, right,

316
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: And so I don't understand why the fans are questioning that.

317
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: I get this, but I get that they're thinking about

318
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: next year already. But we still we still have a

319
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: game to play, a lot to prove, there's a lot

320
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: to even though even though they're out of it, playing

321
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: getting that seventh win is going to be really important

322
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: to Dan Quinn the staff. So any other thoughts, uh

323
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: on the on the Bucks game, because I want to

324
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: kind of get into that where they go from here

325
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, I don't. I don't think. I

326
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: think we've kind of broken down what we're expecting defensively,

327
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: kind of what we're expecting offensively, and uh, this will

328
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: be a Tampa team that there'll be much like there

329
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: are some guys on this Falcon team you're paying, You're

330
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: playing for your job, playing for your opportunity, right And

331
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: and this is a Tampa team, it's going to go

332
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: through much more flux than this team will. Yeah, there's

333
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: a chance that Dirt Cutter is not gonna be coaching

334
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: this team next year. There's a chance that Jamis Winston

335
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: and what he has thought of it's already come into questions.

336
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: So I would be willing to bet you that this

337
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: is a Tampa team is going to lay it on

338
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: the line their last game at home and kind of

339
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: prove and dessert that they deserve to be either in

340
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Tampa or in the league somewhere. A lot of talent

341
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: on that team. And if if you know, but hypothetically,

342
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: if they do make a change, whoever does come in,

343
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of talented absolutely on both sides

344
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: of the ball. Um. But back to the Falcons here

345
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: they go into this game, they're looking for their seventh

346
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: win of the year. Um, you know, there's a lot too, there's,

347
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: like I said, there's been a lot of bright spots.

348
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: You look at this rookie class, almost all of them

349
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: have contributed in a big way and you're starting to

350
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: see a little bit more Russell Gage, but you go

351
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: right on down Calvin Ridley. You know, he kind of

352
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: hit a wall there, but then he showed up in

353
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: a big way. Uh nine seconds into the third quarter. Yeah. Yeah.

354
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: And you know Edo Smith, he's he's a little banged up,

355
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: but he's had a nice year. Isaiah Olivers had his

356
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: moments where he's looked. Really he got his first pick

357
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: against the Panthers. Foyer, I always butcher his name. No,

358
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: you're all over, but even dietrichsa it's even made contributions.

359
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's been it's been a solid draft class. Yeah,

360
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that is you. Yeah, I would agree with you, man.

361
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: I think anytime you begin to look at what you're

362
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: talking about from an overall development standpoint, which is really

363
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: kind of where you had got to hang your hat,

364
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: Demante Kazy is surfaced as a playmaking safety. So now

365
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: if I'm Dan quinn and I looked the next year, Okay,

366
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: I got Kean O'Neil, and I got Ricardo Allen coming back,

367
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: and hey guess what I got Demonte Kazy. I've got

368
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: who has six interceptions. I've got Brian pooleho I've got

369
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: to try or figure out what I'm gonna do there.

370
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: He's got a career high three interceptions. I've got guys

371
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: that are making plays that. Yeah, de Sharad Nieseman shows

372
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: hisself as a viable option as a guy from a

373
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: depth standpoint, I had to develop him, right, So, yeah,

374
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of positive hanger hat. I know there's

375
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: disappointment out there in Falcon Nation that this is not

376
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: a postseason run, and we all are disappointed. And I'll

377
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: there there's any question to a man, including those guys

378
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: that are wearing the jersey, no question, maybe more so

379
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: with them than anybody else. But there is a lot

380
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: of bright spots and we'll look at that. The players

381
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: won't look at that right now. We'll look at that

382
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: and get excited for next season. You brought up the safeties,

383
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know if a lot of fans heard this,

384
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: but you know, Dan Quinn was asked this week, Hey,

385
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: if Ricardo Allen and Kean O'Neil are healthy, are they

386
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: you're starters? He said, without flinging yes, Then what about

387
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: Kaz Well, that's that's They're going to find ways to

388
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: get Kazy on the hill. Will be on the field.

389
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: You can bank on that exactly, So you know that's

390
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: going to be nice and fun to watch come camp time.

391
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think there's a lot of

392
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: things that you know, one thing that you talk to,

393
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: you talk about all the injuries and the things that

394
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: didn't go right, but it's provided opportunities. And the one

395
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: thing you'll love to see is when when guys that

396
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: normally won play get that opportunity and then take advantage

397
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: of it. That is great to see and that gives

398
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: the coaches something to think about, It gives them tape,

399
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: and it gives them something to build on. You know,

400
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: I asked coach today about Brian Hill, and you know,

401
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: we've been it feels like we've been in a couple

402
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: of years. We haven't actually went to another team for

403
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: a while and came back. Well, he mentioned that he

404
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: said when he left and he was on the Bengals

405
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: practice squader with the Bengals, he came back different and

406
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: that change was necessary for him. And so he came

407
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: back and you saw that run. He was aggressive. Yes,

408
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't the perfect day. I mean, he had the fumble,

409
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: he was jumping over leaping guys and that might look cool,

410
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: but it didn't turn out the way they wanted. I

411
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: was excited for the kid. I mean, he's six one

412
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: two nineteen and he's running out there like he's Todd

413
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: Gurley or Zeke Elliott out there. And I'm not saying

414
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: he's in that category, but it was good to see

415
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: a guy take advantage of his opportunity. Well, this was

416
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: a guy that you drafted. It was going to be

417
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: you thought, maybe that big back and think about and

418
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: we'll get into this probably down the road here as

419
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: we continue to do this for you guys you're on

420
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: Falcon audible. But as you talk about as we move forward,

421
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, Brian Hills, one more opportunity. That's what I'm

422
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: excited about. He's got another opportunity to run the ball.

423
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: Last week he showed what he didn't show his rookie year.

424
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: He showed me a lack of balance his rookie year,

425
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: and inability to be patient, and inability to really define

426
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: the crease. And yet on Sunday against Carolina, all of

427
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: that had gone away, and all of a sudden you

428
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: saw the running back that ran for over four thousand

429
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: yards as a wyoming cowboy. He found a way to

430
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: press the whole slide to daylight and then go for

431
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: immediately from power to speed, and then you saw his

432
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: ability to finish runs. So that's encouraging. Now he gets

433
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: to do it again this weekend. Probably we don't know

434
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: what TEB statusus. That would be a game time decision

435
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: with TEB and his groin injury, but that means Brian

436
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: Hill's going to get more of an opportunity to play,

437
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: so and I maybe Jeremy Langford gets an opportunity to

438
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: cary the football as well this weekend. So these are

439
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: all things that are kind of fun as you begin

440
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: to as we digest Christmas and we start looking at

441
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe some of the Christmas presents that are still left

442
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: over there as some of these players that maybe untapped

443
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: talent that's available there that we can look into down

444
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: the And if I'm a Falcons fan, that's what I'm watching,

445
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm getting excited over, and knowing what's coming

446
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: back from injury, and you know, never mind what happens

447
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: in FREEHC, you never mind what happens in the draft.

448
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: You know that this is the core coming back. You

449
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: know that this is these guys that we never see

450
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: on the field. Now you're seeing what they can do,

451
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: and that's pretty exciting heading into camp. So I don't know,

452
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: there's really no other way to kind of Noe's No

453
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: one's thrilled in this building with the six wins right now,

454
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: and no one's gloating over it. No one's happy about it.

455
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: But you know what, you have to make the best

456
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: of it. You have to evaluate your roster. That's what

457
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: they're doing now. Dan Quinn's evaluating everyone, every player, every coach,

458
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,479
