1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,159 Speaker 1: Dirty Birds. What's up? And welcome back to the Atlanta 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Falcons podcast network. I'm your host, Will mcfatten. I'm joined 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: today by Arren Walk and we are going to talk 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: about Falcons Mini Camp. But first let's do some quick 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of programming reminders. We had a discussion of podcast 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: with Michael Vick recently, so please go check that out 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: on YouTube on Atlanta Falcons dot com if you have 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: not already. We've had some excellent coverage of mini Camp, 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: just photo video, written content by Arron herself, by me, 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: by Tory mclaney following along with the team, So please 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: go check all of that stuff out if you are 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: curious about what has been going on in Flowery Branch. 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: But Terren, how you doing today? 14 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: I'm good. I can't believe off season program is over? 15 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: I know right, it feels like it just like we 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: were just kind of getting warmed up for it or 17 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: ramped up for it, and now all of a sudden, 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: it's over. Now we're gone. 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: When Raheems was when Raheem Moore is said today like 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: the five week break is coming up already, it's about 21 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: to be I mean it is June and not about 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: to be. It is June. Yeah, that's crazy to me. 23 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean weirdly, like, Yeah, this offseason feels faster, and 24 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: it's been, on the one hand, like less busy because 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: you haven't had a coaching change. There's been quarterback stability, 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: even though we've been talking about the quarterback position a lot, 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: and we will continue to do so in this conversation. 28 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's kind of flown right by. So let's 29 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: go ahead and get into what all we learned over 30 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of days and really going back to 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: just kind of the OTA sessions in general. What's been 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: kind of the big theme for Atlanta so far over 33 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: the last few weeks. 34 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: Oh gosh. I think it's mainly been emphasism on the 35 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: developing guys because they want those who are new to 36 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: Atlanta to feel comfortable in their role in what they're 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: supposed to be doing on a day in and day 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: out basis come training camp. So it's the simple things 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: of like when do I need to arrive for practice, 40 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: what are we doing during practice? What am I supposed 41 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: to do in this specific drill? When can I eat? 42 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: It's simple things like that, but when you enter a 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: brand new program, that's overwhelming It's just like if you 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: enter a new school or a new job, you need 45 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: to learn the ins and outs, and now is the 46 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: time to do that, as opposed to training camp, where 47 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: it's like, all right, we got a buckle and it's 48 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: time to go. 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's a great analogy and it's one 50 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: that I was prepared to make myself. Is school, Yeah 51 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: got cha, Yeah, you beat me too it I love that. 52 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: But when you kind of are going through that the 53 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: first week in a new school or a new job, yeah, 54 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: you kind of need somebody like latch onto somebody like 55 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: one of those fish on a shark where you're like, hey, 56 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: where's the cafeteria? Hey, like, oh, is that meeting right now? 57 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: Oh? 58 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: Okay, Like I hadn't accepted it yet, so it didn't 59 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: pop up on my reminder like those little things. Because 60 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: when training camp kicks off here at the end of July, 61 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: everything is like full go until the end of the season. 62 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: So when you're in a drill, the minutes, the precious 63 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: seconds that these players and coaches have out there on 64 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: the field, they matter. So you can't be falling behind, 65 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: you can't be screwing up, you can't really be now 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: of course you can. You can sit there and say, hey, 67 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: remind me of this, give me some feedback what am 68 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: I doing here? But you got to know what you're doing. 69 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: And so that's kind of what this time of year 70 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 1: is like for a lot of these young guys. 71 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 2: It's syllabus week. Yeah, like after syllabus week, you can't 72 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: drop the class. You can't change your class schedule. You 73 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: can't be like, oh what am I majoring in? I 74 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: don't know. Actually, my end, my analogy went too far. 75 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: I was like, what else would they do? They can't 76 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: also drop out of the team. I guess they can, 77 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: but they won't. 78 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: No, So yeah, it's it's figuring. But it's for the 79 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: coaches too, right, it's like learning, all right, what do 80 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: I have in this guy? And where can he improve? 81 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: And then what do we want to your students five 82 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: six weeks? Yeah? Figure out? Okay, let's now that we've 83 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: gotten eyeballs on them, we've gotten to lay hands on 84 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: them and kind of work with them a little bit. 85 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: All right, how do we want to tweet and adjust? 86 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: So the other main thing that kind of was the 87 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: story because a lot of the stuff on the field 88 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: that well, we'll get to here in a second, a 89 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: little bit lighter than I think you would usually see 90 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: in a training camp practice or you know, even during 91 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the season. The Kirk Cousins was here for mandatory mini 92 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: camp and that was the biggest storyline probably for Atlanta 93 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: all off season and leading up too Mini camp. Would 94 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: he be here? Not only was he here, he spoke 95 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: to the media afterwards, what did he have to say? 96 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: I think Kirk handled the media the best he could 97 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: with the position he is in. He didn't rock any 98 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: boats or cause any waves when he knows this is 99 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: the reality that he is in and whether or not 100 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: he likes it, he has to accept it because it's 101 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: not like he can just go plug and play himself 102 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: somewhere else. There are other parties involved that have to 103 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: agree to say a trade. And so at this point 104 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: Kirk said those conversations for for January, February, March, even April. 105 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: But like we said at the beginning of this podcast, somehow, someway, 106 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: it is June, and he knows that the options out 107 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: there no longer exist. Really, I mean, you saw Aaron 108 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 2: Rodgers finally made a decision and is with the Pittsburgh Steelers, 109 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: and so there's really nowhere you can really put him. 110 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: That is not the Atlanta Falcons, and I think he 111 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: just has to accept that and if anything, embrace it. 112 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: And so he said he will be moving forward. He 113 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: wants this team to win. He even was like, come February, 114 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 2: I hope we're lifting a Lombardi Trophy. And then when 115 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: it came to Michael Pennick Junior, He's like, I want 116 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: to help him as much as I can, but I'm 117 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: not going to overstep. I'm not going to be constantly 118 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: in his ear where it's just too many voices talking 119 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: to him at once. If he needs help, he knows 120 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: he can come to me. And Penick said that too, 121 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: like it seemed very professional. Again, this is like what 122 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: we're seeing. Who knows what goes on inside like or 123 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: behind closed doors. But from the perspective of Michael Pennock 124 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: Junior and Kirk Cousins speaking to the media on Tuesday, 125 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: they all know where they stand and for better or worse, 126 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: they're all okay with it. 127 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I agree. I thought he kind of 128 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: handled it as well as you could expect him to. 129 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: And it's really the exact same thing about the way 130 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: that he handled when he was benched, and he starts 131 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: to the media as well. It's kind of like, I 132 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: don't know what you expect him to say. He's a professional, 133 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: Like there's nothing, yeah, right, but there's nothing that he 134 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: can say that's going to make that any better or 135 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: different or maybe kind of like change it so that 136 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: he's getting his version of the It just is what 137 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: it is. And yet he's still standing there saying what 138 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: I truly believe he believes, because that has been the 139 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: case for Kirk Cousins throughout his entire career, is that 140 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: he's kind of been that role model, player, teammate, and 141 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: maybe mentor. 142 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: Now, if he came out to the media and started 143 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: just slandering people left and right, that's only going to 144 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: hurt his career. That's going to hurt his chances of 145 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: say a team does become available and looking to trade, 146 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: because who would want that? Who would want that in 147 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: their organization? So I think the way he's handling it 148 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: is best not only for the Falcons but also himself. 149 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, but like, I don't even know if it is 150 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: that calculated. It certainly could be, right, but I. 151 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: Don't think it is. 152 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: But I think it's it's a situation where the calculated 153 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: approach and the genuine approach probably from him as a person, 154 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: just happened overlap there and he's right in the middle 155 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: of that then diagram, right. But I thought that Raheem 156 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: actually had a statement where he said, you know, Kirk 157 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: is not in the business of kind of like making 158 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: Michael Pennox's life difficult. And I do think that that 159 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: is kind of the best way to view the whole thing. 160 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: And Kirk said, I'm here to kind of control what 161 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: I can control, and for him that that is a 162 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: smaller kind of piece of the pie than maybe it 163 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: was in January and February. And so that is kind 164 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: of how I think we've arrived at this situation where 165 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: he's here. He's the backup quarterback. Sure, I fully expect 166 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: him to go out there and training camp and not 167 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: necessarily just like hand the ball over to Michael Pennox 168 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: and be like totally yours. Now they've said he's the 169 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: starter moving forward, So until the coaches say anything different, 170 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: that is the way things are. But I expect Kirk 171 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: to go out there and play in training camp like 172 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: he's coming for a job. 173 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: It's football. You never know what's going to happen. Like 174 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: we say, Michael Pennock Junior is the starter right now. 175 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: Who knows what comes to August, what comes to October, November, December. 176 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: January, everything, Everything can happen because the season takes its 177 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: own shape and form. Last year, there was a plan 178 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: this time of year and ultimately that plan didn't come 179 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: to fruition the entire way. So yeah, again, anything can 180 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: can happen. That's what makes this sport so much fun 181 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: to follow. 182 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: The worst thing Kirk could do is not be prepared. 183 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, totally well said. And I don't expect him 184 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: to not be well prepared because again, we know about 185 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins at this point in time, but who maybe 186 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: do our listeners not know so much about who stood 187 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: out on the field to you during mini camp. 188 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to hang my hat on this guy 189 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: making a big twenty twenty five return, and that is 190 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: safety to Marco Helms. Yes, we both went to Alabama, 191 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: but that is not why. I just think I remember 192 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: his rookie season that he just progressively got better and 193 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: better and what was he a seventh round draft pick, 194 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: but he had starting opportunities at the end of that year, 195 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: and then you come into his second season and he 196 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: was doing really well in training camp, but then got 197 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: injured and I think it was the first preseason game, 198 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 2: and that took him out for the entire season. And 199 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: we didn't know at the time it was going to 200 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: be the entire season, but it was. And I talked 201 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: to DeMarco today and he was pretty open about it, 202 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: being like that was difficult. That was the first time 203 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: I've had to go a whole year without football. But 204 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: if anything, that's kind of just pumped him up more 205 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: for this season because he was like, I was so 206 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: excited to put my jersey back on. It's good to 207 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: be back on the field. He may not be one 208 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 2: hundred percent right now, but you don't have to because 209 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: it's the off season program. But he said he will 210 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: be by training camp, and I think just to reiterate 211 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: that it's not just me excited about him too. Jesse 212 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 2: Bates was over with the media today too, and he's like, honestly, 213 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 2: DeMarco is the aggressor in the safety room. He is 214 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: the one who's like, I want to hit somebody all 215 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: the time. He's like bouncing off the walls to do 216 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 2: it right. Now essentially, and they nicknamed him Bam Bam, 217 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: and I was like, Jesse, does he like that nickname? 218 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: He goes, no, it makes him more angry, but that 219 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: makes it even better. 220 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, if there's one person you want angry on the defense, 221 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: it's a guy named Bam bam. Right. I want to know, 222 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: is there are pebbles like he loose pebbles on the defense. 223 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 2: We're not going to get into naming all of them. 224 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: You and I tried making up nicknames for different positions earlier. 225 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: That's amazing content. We're not giving that away, Terren. 226 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 2: We're not going to name everyone else off after Flintstone's characters. 227 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: We'll leave it. 228 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: Not yet. It is Flintstones's right, everybody, stay tuned. Yeah, okay, 229 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: we got it, Jets. 230 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: I really want to make sure that that reference. 231 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: Not ahead of the time. No. I think that's a 232 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: great that's a great pick because DeMarco Hellams is, like 233 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: people forget Justin Simmons was not on the roster because 234 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: Marco Hellams was a player. I think they envisioned taking 235 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: that next step. Now, who knows, maybe they still make 236 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: the Simons signing. If Helms is like, that's all in 237 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: the past, and it's hypothetical and everything changes based. 238 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: On you have Jordan Fuller now too, so it's not 239 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: just automatically. 240 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, like, is that the safety group is crowded? 241 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: There are a few different groups here, like inside linebacker 242 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: kind of a similar deal, Nickel corner kind of a 243 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: similar deal. Like there are some depths where there is suddenly, yeah, 244 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: some some depth. So like I guess as we wrap 245 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: up this conversation and you guys can stick around for 246 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: the second part of this episode where I'll be joined 247 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: by Tory McLane and we're going to kind of preview 248 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: training camp. But tarn the last kind of question for 249 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: you is, like, is that safety group kind of the 250 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: number one position you're looking forward to seeing in training camp? 251 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: And are there maybe some others that have kind of 252 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: caught your eye? 253 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: I would have to say safety is number one just 254 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: because of this investment in a single player, like curious 255 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 2: how he's going to bounce back from his injury and 256 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: you're three. But at the same time, I think it's 257 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: just the defense as a whole because so many efforts 258 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: have been put in this offseason to bolster that unit 259 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: in depth and in talent that I'm curious what that 260 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: starting lineup is going to look like in general, because 261 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: there are so many options not just at safety, but 262 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: at as you said, inside linebacker, outside linebacker, defensive line, 263 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: even corner like. There are so many different ways this 264 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: defense could go, and I think it's going to be 265 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: a very competitive training camp for that reason. 266 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: I had a piece on Vine Diablo, another new addition 267 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: to the defense, go up Wednesday afternoon after their second 268 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: mini camp practice, and the analogy that I made in 269 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: the piece was basically that the defense has been going 270 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: undergoing a renovation. It's not a total overhaul. There's still 271 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: foundational pieces and pillars holding up the structure, like Jesse 272 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: Bates and aj Terrell, but you do have some new 273 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: key faces, whether they be the draft picks and all 274 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: of those players we expect to be inserted into the defense, 275 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd or a divine Diablo in the middle. So 276 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: like there are familiar faces returning that is going to 277 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: mean a lot, but there are also some really important 278 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: new pieces and new faces to this defense, one of 279 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: them being the defensive coordinator in Jeff Oulbrik. I mean, so, 280 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: I think you're spot on in identifying the defense as 281 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: a whole. Really is. It's kind of the side of 282 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: the ball to watch after last year it felt like 283 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: the offense was kind of out side of the ball. 284 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: No, I completely agree, that'll be. I'm excited for training though. 285 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: I'm okay that we're having us Like I'm excited for 286 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: training camp. 287 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: It's okay to feel you can contain multitudes. 288 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: More than one emotion. It's weird, but I'm really excited 289 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: for training camp, mainly because mandatory mini camp was just 290 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: so low key. 291 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, I wish we were talking more about football 292 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: here for you guys, but like there's one a ton 293 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: to ride home about on the gymal Walker look good, 294 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: you know. Building back. 295 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson had an interception on Wednesday. 296 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: There you go. We got Lamar out here making place. 297 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: Yeah that the wide were throwing footballs. 298 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: They were Yeah, Drake, Drake looking like a solid lefty out. 299 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: And knocked over one of the No one made it 300 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: in the trash can, but he knocked over the trash can. 301 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: So sorry that part about practice this is that's not 302 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: on you at all. 303 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: I just as the host, I'm realizing, all right, we're 304 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: talking about football thrown in trash cans. We probably will 305 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: red light going on in the pocket, Taren, I got it. No, 306 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: it's perfect. Let's go ahead and get to my conversation 307 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: now with Tory and we will preview train camp. Tory, Hello, 308 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: how are you? Thank you for joining me? 309 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, switched out with Taryn Walk. We don't really look similar, 310 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 3: so no one should be confused. We don't really sound 311 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: similar either. 312 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: So hair darker hair, right, a. 313 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: Bit more of a southern accent, a little bit. 314 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: Of a darker complexion. Yeah, yeah, okay, Well, you could 315 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: do a horrible terrant impression. You got that on. 316 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think I could do a 317 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: terrant impression. It would probably just be something sarcastic tagging 318 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 3: on the end, something about Nascar. Yeah, probably be my 319 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: go to if I had. 320 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: To guess, Oh, it's probably pretty much. 321 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: She loves Pitbull. I could probably do a good like 322 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: Pitbull Dale. Yep, I could probably do that, and she. 323 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: Would you bade me into saying that I did. I 324 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: don't feel good about No. I gotta be better about 325 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: that next time. I think she always the math is 326 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: in mathing. 327 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: That's mine and another go to of hers is I'm uncozy, 328 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: she I'm cozy when she's uncomfortable, I'm uncozy, which. 329 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some terranism there is, which yeah, true, 330 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: lovely and adorable. And this is a great way to 331 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: start our our kind of second part of our podcast 332 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: and transition here because we just wrapped up talking about 333 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: safeties and she was sharing a little bit about why 334 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: she's so excited to see DeMarco Hellum's back out on 335 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: the field and kind of the role that they might 336 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: envision for him, and it just kind of got me 337 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: thinking about, all right, what are the camp battles that 338 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: we really do expect to play out in training camp. 339 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: You know, they've wrapped up OTA's, They've wrapped up mini camps, 340 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: so the next time they're going to take the field, 341 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little bit more real. So let's 342 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: go through just kind of the three camp battles we 343 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: think could be the biggest. Did you have any difficulty 344 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: identifying any of the camp battles you wanted to pick for. 345 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 3: This So a little yes and no to that, because 346 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: I think the main thing that I want people to 347 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 3: know about mandatory mini camp, and honestly, OTA's this whole 348 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 3: spring has been kind of the lack of real live 349 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: information that we're getting a mandatory mini camp. The two 350 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 3: days that we were able to see were these glorified walkthroughs, 351 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: and there wasn't really a lot going on. There wasn't 352 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: really a lot to report on, like. 353 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: A lot of individual drill, a. 354 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 3: Lot of individual stuff, like a lot of guys just 355 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 3: kind of like what like we didn't even see eleven 356 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 3: on eleven teamwork with the ones or the twos, like 357 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: we're talking about some of as Raheem Morris said, the 358 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: young guys getting out there and running some things around, 359 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: and that was pretty much it. There wasn't a lot 360 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: to go off of. And so I think because of that, 361 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 3: I could sit here and say, like, yeah, it made 362 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: it difficult to pinpoint different you know, training battles that 363 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 3: there could potentially become July and August. But I actually 364 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: think I had the opposite reaction a little bit. And 365 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 3: I know we differ on this a little bit because 366 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: I knowing what you know about particularly the four draft pick, 367 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 3: the four defensive draft picks that came in, you know 368 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 3: that the plan is the goal is Orhie Morris has 369 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: said it, Terry Fonto has said it is that they're 370 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: going to play and play early, and you are talking 371 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 3: about them potentially being starters across all levels of the defense. 372 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's clear kind of areas where you could pencil 373 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: them in, right, That is how the Falcons envision them 374 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: early on exactly. 375 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 3: So when we're talking about like the top three, I 376 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: guess camp battles that there could realistically be, we're talking 377 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 3: about where these rookies are actually could slot in. So 378 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 3: we're talking about Xavier Watts at safety, We're talking about 379 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 3: Billy Bowman junior at nickel, We're talking about James Pierce junior, 380 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 3: and Jayleen Walker coming off the edge. Those are the 381 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 3: three that we're going to talk about here today. And 382 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: to me, it's because we're trying to pinpoint where these 383 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 3: rookies are going to be and how quickly they can 384 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 3: get there. 385 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean you make a great point because 386 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: it is easy to project, and if we do want 387 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: to project and accurately project that those guys kind of 388 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: come out of training camp with a starting role, then yeah, 389 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: you can look at the defense and kind of be like, 390 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: all right, I know where that is gonna where he's 391 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: gonna be. I know the second corner, I know the Nickel, 392 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: I know our edges, Like really, it just then becomes 393 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: kind of like the rotations and the packages and who 394 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: is next to each other maybe on the defensive line 395 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: or at linebacker. When is Divine Diablo in there versus 396 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: Troy Anderson, you know, like some of those nuanced things. 397 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: But by and large, yeah, if we're talking just pure 398 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: starting eleven, Yeah, the picture becomes clearer if the rookies 399 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: do step into those roles as we expect they might offensively, 400 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: we kind of know what tox It's crazy. 401 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: I feel bad not talking. I feel like ninety percent 402 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 3: of what I've been talking about this offseason has been 403 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 3: about the defense. But I think that's obviously by design. 404 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 3: We talked at nauseum about the offense last year with 405 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: the addition of Karkuz and some Michael Pinnings. 406 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: So it's weird how it like ebbs. 407 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: And always does, always does. But I and heck, we're 408 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 3: let's be real, We're still talking about Michael Pennocks Junior 409 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 3: and Kirk Cousins, you know, like that's not stopping. So 410 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 3: but the in terms of just absolute camp battles and 411 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: roster construction and who could make the fifty three man roster. 412 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 3: A lot of the eyes, a lot of my eyes 413 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: are on on this defensive side of the pall because 414 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 3: to your point, the offensive side of the ball feels set. 415 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: It feels as set in stone as I feel like 416 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 3: it has been since the Matt Ryan Julio days. Wow, 417 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 3: like outside of left guard, of course, but I do 418 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 3: because we know left guard, so we know left guard 419 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: was like a revolving door. G. I know, I TLG. 420 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: That's funny. So I I say all of that to 421 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: ultimately say that that's where I do feel like the 422 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 3: defense there are to your point as well, even though 423 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 3: we're talking about potential starters, to me, the more important 424 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 3: conversation is about what do these rotations look like, particularly 425 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 3: across the defensive line, because I do feel like you 426 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 3: feel pretty good about Okay, aj Terrell, Kayden Ellis, Mike Hughes, 427 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 3: Jesse Bates, who's going to be beside Jesse Bates. We'll 428 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: get a question, but it's that it's that defensive front 429 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 3: and what their rotation could look like and what the 430 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 3: mixing and matching look like based on the situation at 431 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 3: hand that they're going again, So I'm we're going to 432 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 3: get into all of that I don't want to jump 433 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 3: the gun. 434 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: No, let let's let's use that as an opportunity to 435 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: get into We'll start with the defense line and maybe 436 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: work our way our way back from there. Do you 437 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: want to talk specifically about edge rusher or kind of 438 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: the front four slash five, because I do think that 439 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: given a hybrid approach, we expect jell fulbreak and remorse. 440 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: As they said they will deploy, there's going to be 441 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: some variation to probably what a starting week looks like 442 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: week to week. Do you want to maybe say, here's 443 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: our thoughts for a three to four, and here's our 444 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: which would be a five man front right here, two outsides, 445 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: and here's kind of a four to three. 446 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think let's do that because I think 447 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 3: for me, it's a big part of this is that 448 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 3: I always tell people like, it doesn't freaking matter unless 449 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 3: it's the starting quarterback. It doesn't freaking matter who's starting, 450 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: like true it and maybe your offensive line. Like again, offensively, 451 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 3: it's a little bit different because there's not a rotation 452 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: per se. You have your guys, your go to guys. Defensively, 453 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 3: it's about who has the highest snap count like that. 454 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 3: I don't care who you run out there for the 455 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 3: first play because for me, I remember one time it 456 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: was like very early on in Kyle Pits, after he 457 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: had been drafted, he wasn't out there for like the 458 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 3: first play the game because they're running the ball, and 459 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 3: that they wanted a different look. They wanted a more heavy, 460 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: heavy look. 461 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: Arthursmith, I feel like loved doing that he did. 462 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 3: And so technically Kyle Pits wasn't a starter that game. 463 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 3: Doesn't mean that he didn't play ninety eight percent of 464 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 3: the offensive snaps, you know, like I think that I 465 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 3: want to make that very clear. So let's talk to 466 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 3: your point. Let's talk about the groupings more so than 467 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 3: maybe even just specific starter. 468 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: Let's do the Let's do a five man front first, 469 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: because I actually kind of think that that is maybe 470 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: where they'll lean a little bit more. I think there's 471 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: more versatility and flexibility which matches the personnel out of 472 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: a kind of a three four five man front alignment. 473 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: So do you want to take a first stab at 474 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: five or do you want me to? 475 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: I think I can take a stab at it. I 476 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 3: think I do think that I would if it's a. 477 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: Maybe like leaders in the Clubhouse, and then who are 478 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: the guys who could break into that house. 479 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 3: So obviously you can't talk about the front without talking 480 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: about the two first round draft picks Jalen Walker and 481 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: James christ Junior. But I'm curious to see how they 482 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 3: match up with the Leonard Floyd, Arnold ab Katie Braylen 483 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: Trice when he comes back. Like to me, I feel 484 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 3: very strongly that you have. I feel like Braylen Trice 485 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: is more of this like bigger guy. So for if 486 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 3: it's a run stopping the situation, she need a. 487 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: Bigger end kind of player. 488 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I also know that they're trying to do some 489 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 3: stuff with Zach Harrison, Brandon Dorlis. So even though we're 490 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 3: talking about like what this five man front could be, 491 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 3: it's any combination of this stuff. If you're needing long 492 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 3: and lanky, you're putting Leonard Floyd out there, and you're 493 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: putting James Spears juniors to set the edge. But if 494 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: you're wanting more of these like run stoppers, Braylan Trice, 495 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 3: maybe Jalen Walker, who can get sideline to sideline really quick. 496 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 3: Like So for for all of that, what's really complicated 497 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: is is like there's not a there's not an answer here, 498 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 3: you know, because I don't think that it matters. Like, 499 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 3: let's say week one, the Falcons run the five front, 500 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 3: the five man front that they run out there is 501 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 3: Leonard Floyd, Arnold, ab Katie, David Anyamata, Zach Harrison, Rugeroro. Like, 502 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: let's say that's the five that they run out there 503 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 3: for the first two plays of game one week one. Yep, 504 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that two plays later, it's not gonna 505 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 3: be Zach Harrison, James Spears, Junior, Jalen Walker, Kayden ellis 506 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: coming up in between, you know, David Anyamata and Rukro Like, 507 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 3: there are so many variables to this front and the 508 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 3: attack style that they want to be. I know, a 509 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, we talked with Taran about or 510 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: I guess I talked with tarn about what you are. 511 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: We had you there in the back of our minds. 512 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 3: Anytime I make a dad joke, I'm like, oh, we. 513 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: Love that the corner, that's your brand. 514 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: But we were talking about, you know, realistic expectations for 515 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 3: ed Rushers year one in the rookie year, and I 516 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 3: kind of said, it's like, okay, yes, the Falcons as 517 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 3: an organization are dead last in pass rush stats in 518 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 3: total sack numbers over the last five six years. To 519 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 3: break into even the middle quartile of sacks and pressures 520 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: across the league, I think it's going to be everyone. 521 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: It's not like we're just sitting here being like James 522 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 3: Chris Junior is gonna get ten sacks and it's going 523 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 3: to fundament change what the Falcons are doing past rush wise, 524 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 3: It's okay, maybe he gets three, Maybe Jalyn Walker gets three, 525 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 3: maybe kay Nellis gets five, Maybe Arnold ib Katie gets six. 526 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: You know like, I think, if you have these waves, 527 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 3: I'll take that. And to me, it doesn't matter who's starting. 528 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: It's just as long as they're getting after the quarterback. 529 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 3: I did not answer your question at all. 530 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: Now that I've been rambling, I was literally about to 531 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: be like, okay, so are we gonna go with Leonard 532 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: Floyd and Zach Harrison. 533 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 3: I feel awful that I've been talking for maybe five 534 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 3: minutes straight and never once did I answer the question. 535 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: But you laid out. You laid out why maybe even 536 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: thinking about it in terms of starters and backups, at 537 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: least when it comes to the defensive line and the 538 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: front seven, maybe kind of like a fool's errand yeah, 539 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: because everybody's going to have their role, you know, like 540 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: Eddie Goldman, I don't think we would have if we 541 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: look back on the twenty twenty four season in five years, 542 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't think people are gonna be like, oh, yeah, 543 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: Eddie Goldman was a starting defensive lineman for the Falcons. 544 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: He started some games last year for Atlanta like he 545 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: was a star. So that that is kind of the 546 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: big asterisk when it comes to a defensive front. However, 547 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: that being said, I think you're five that you called 548 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: out at least day one makes sense in there. And 549 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: I think that James Pierce, out of the two first 550 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: round rookies, I think is probably more likely to start 551 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: in a purely situational role and just know exactly what 552 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: he's doing. I think Jalen Walker, as much as they 553 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: say they're starting him off on the edge, like we 554 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: know what he can do, and he's looked really good 555 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: out there like that has been kind of my takeaway 556 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: I think from mini camp is Jalen Walker looks solid. 557 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: Like he was leading the defensive line individual rust drills. 558 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: He showed a lot more flexibility than I thought he 559 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: did on tape, and that kind of stood out to me. 560 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, he really bends around the bag nicely. 561 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: So if we're talking any rookies, I think he maybe 562 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: has one of the strongest chances of cracking that starting lineup. 563 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: So I like the five D laid out there and 564 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: maybe even adding Jalen Walker as that kind of like 565 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: sixth man. Could he be the first rotation with Arnold 566 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Levy Katie. 567 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 3: I think it's interesting too because it's like who ultimately 568 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 3: steps up within the first five or six weeks in 569 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 3: this the way that they want to play, in the 570 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: style that Jeff Olbrick wants to play in. I think 571 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 3: it's going to be a big because of the way 572 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 3: that training camp is these days, and you know, TBD 573 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 3: on whether or not starters are actually or anyone is 574 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: going to play in the preseason. I think that's a 575 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 3: little TBD at this point. I do think that it's 576 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: going to be probably five or six weeks into the 577 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 3: season before we really feel like we know what this 578 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 3: defense is in the way that they want to play. 579 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 3: We've heard from different guys about you've heard it at nauseum, 580 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 3: the attack stile front that they want to have and 581 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 3: it's like, but what does that mean? And I thought 582 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 3: Ruker Roro explained it very well comparing it to last year. 583 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 3: He was like, last year, you know, you're reacting based 584 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 3: on you're having to think about you know, Okay, if 585 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 3: they do this, we got to do this. If they 586 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 3: do this, And he was like, that's not necessarily what 587 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 3: things are now. It's a bit more simplistic. 588 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not diagnosing, you're just deploying. 589 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: You're just it's proactive, not reactive. Is the main thing 590 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 3: that I feel like I've gotten about what this front 591 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 3: could be from these players and what the style is 592 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 3: the problem right now, they don't have pads on. We 593 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: have no idea what this front. 594 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: Is going to look like. 595 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: You know, Like I'm so you're kind of talking in 596 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 3: this hypothetic. 597 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: We're still talking like yeah, theoretical, hypothetical, all the edicals, 598 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: all of them. But it is exciting. And this is 599 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: the last thing that I think we can talk about 600 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: with the Front seven really quickly, with the fore man 601 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: look and how when they talk about versatility, like this 602 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: is what gets me excited and it totally falls in 603 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: line with the hypothetical theory. But let's say they're actually 604 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: set up really well for like a fore Man front 605 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: if it included say Zach Harrison on one of the ends. 606 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: Then you've got Ruke and David in the middle, and 607 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: you've got Brandon dor List maybe on the other side. 608 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: Like that's a nice solid four that are big enough 609 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: to defend the run but can also attack as you 610 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: said in that single gap style. But then behind them 611 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: you got Caden Ellis, you got Divine Diablo, and you 612 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: got Jalen Walker. Because now you're in a four to three, right, 613 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: you got three linebackers, all of whom got some nice 614 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: speed and athleticism. You walk Jalen Walker, you can really 615 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: quickly bump somebody down and turn that into a five 616 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: to two. Look like, there is so much flexibility with 617 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: all of these guys. So again, it's probably a little 618 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: bit of a moot point to be looking at them 619 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: as as starters and back. 620 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 3: Ups, I mean, and like drop Devon Diablo. 621 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: Back, like yea, you know there's the former safety. Former safety, 622 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: we have like fifteen safeties on this roster. You want 623 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: to just talk about the safety that's our next camback. 624 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's talk about safeties. 625 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 3: I think the big the big part of this is 626 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 3: where I think where DeMarco Helms fits into this now 627 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 3: that he's coming back from indury. I know you and 628 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 3: Teraryn talked a lot about that. I'm really excited to 629 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 3: have him back because I thought that he was on 630 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: such an upward trajectory and I felt like this staff 631 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 3: specifically really valued him, and even though he's a seventh 632 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 3: round draft pick, They're like, get this guy out there. 633 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: And if if he brings that physical element, you could 634 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: argue that's kind of like one of the few missing 635 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: ingredients for Atlanta's defense when you know, we talk about 636 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: the versatility and some of the ballhawk nature that like 637 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: Jesse Batesman don't really have that like pure just hammer dumper. Yeah, 638 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: they don't really have the Willie Moe or the Keanu 639 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: Neale of defense's past. To Marco Hellms turns into that, 640 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad at it. 641 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 3: That would be a w for this front office. That's 642 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 3: for sure a big draft win. But I also think 643 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: that obviously you go and you get Xavier Wats, and 644 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: you go and get Xavier Watts for a reason. And 645 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: I know that it's a bit of a mixed bag 646 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: again because we haven't necessarily seen him truly alongside Jesse 647 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 3: Bates in the traditional sense. They're not going at one 648 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 3: hundred and ten percent. We're not really seeing eleven on eleven. 649 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: He was mostly actually kind of like working on some 650 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: individual things right off to the side, not in like 651 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: an injury sense or anything, just getting some like pure 652 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: skilled technical stuff done. 653 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 3: And that was something that even Rahee Morris on Wednesday, 654 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 3: he was talking about James Pearce Junior because he also 655 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 3: was one of those guys that was having some like 656 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 3: one on one technique stuff. 657 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: You'm talking a lot, would you, Gray? Yeah, Floyd on Tuesday. Yeah, 658 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: there just like during special teams when everybody else was working, 659 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 1: he was just locked in a conversation. I was like, Hey, 660 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: that's great, like getting his year. Jerry Gray brought up 661 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: Javon Curse when talking about like who in the league 662 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: is talking about Javon Curse nineteen ninety nine draft yea, yeah, 663 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: Jerry Gray is so like, tell him stories, talk his 664 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: zero off. 665 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's interesting because I think because of the 666 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: nature of we haven't really seen as much. I I'm 667 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 3: still penciling in Xavier Watts to be a guy who 668 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 3: slots in alongside Jesse Bates. The issue is is like 669 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 3: how quickly can he get there? 670 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: True? Because I could totally see a world where, yes, 671 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: Xavier Wats play is a starter for like twelve or 672 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: thirteen games this season, but in week one it is 673 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Fuller out there, correct, you know, like I could 674 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: see that being a reality. 675 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 3: And I think with the way that this, I mean 676 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 3: you kind of saw it with Ruke Roro. Let's use 677 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 3: him as an example. Last year he was a healthy 678 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 3: scratch for the first four games of the season because 679 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 3: essentially what Raheem Moore say is we don't need him right, Like, 680 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 3: we have a lot of depth. Do we have Grady 681 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 3: Jared out there or David an Nimai. Everybody's good, everybody's healthy. 682 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: And so why rush him out there? When we put 683 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: him out there, he'll know exactly what you're doing. We'll 684 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: have seen it for four weeks on practice fields at 685 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: a high level. Yeah, It's like they'll know. 686 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. So it almost makes me wonder if someone like 687 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 3: an Xavier Watts could follow a similar not saying that 688 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 3: he'll be a healthy scratch and like we won't see him. 689 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 3: I don't think that at all. But to your point 690 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 3: about Jordan Fuller being the vet guy in there, being 691 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 3: somebody who has a lot of experience under his belt, 692 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 3: who's played in some different systems, like that could be 693 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 3: the easy safe option early, but it's ultimately about where 694 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 3: Xavier Watts gets to buy week seven, Week eight. 695 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think by and large, like the safety 696 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: group is gonna be a little bit like the defensive 697 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: line too, where you can mix and match based on 698 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 1: some matchups. All Right, they're playing more physical. If DeMarco 699 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: Hellms fits into that role, we're gonna start bringing him 700 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,239 Speaker 1: in there, maybe a little bit more than Exavier Wat. 701 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm in the box, yeah, because like Jesse can do 702 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 1: all of it. Yeah, you can almost kind of like 703 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: plug and play that second piece to like deploy them 704 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: as the as they need to fit the matchup that 705 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: you're going up again. So I think the safety situation 706 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: is fascinating. I also think it's going to play into 707 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: the nickel situation because like you can roll them down, 708 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: you can have a big nickel. Kevin King, I don't 709 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: even know what position he is. He's kind of like 710 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: just a little bit of everything, corner, hybrid safety nickel. 711 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, the best the best part of your depth 712 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 3: is Kevin King in my opinion, because I do think 713 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 3: he can do anything you really need him to. Injuries 714 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 3: are going to happen. It's the NFL, so you need 715 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: to be able to have somebody who is a jack 716 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 3: of always. 717 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: A super utility player in baseball. He's like Martin Proto. 718 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, great, grate pool. I loved Martin Proto when 719 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 3: he was with the Right. Yeah, he like just would 720 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: do everything for you. Hey, have you ever played first base? 721 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 3: All right, we'll suit up. You're going out there, head man. 722 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 3: But I think in terms of what Kevin King, Kevin 723 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 3: King can be in any room in the secondary. He 724 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 3: can work with the safety, so you can work with 725 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 3: the Nickels, you can work with the corners, like wherever 726 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 3: you can plug and play him. Well, it's an asset 727 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 3: to have him on this fifty three man roster. I 728 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 3: think it's why they brought him back. It gives them 729 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 3: the flexibility, especially when they're thinking about who they were 730 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 3: drafting and what type of player they're gonna get. It 731 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 3: was like, okay, well, if you get a corner, you 732 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 3: can slot, Mike Cues in the slot, not to say 733 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 3: slot seven times. But I think that's what's really great 734 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 3: about Kevin King is the ability to do a little 735 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 3: bit of everything and cross train in that way. But 736 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 3: in terms of to move us forward like a little 737 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 3: let's let's talk about the Nickel a little bit, because 738 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 3: I think that is one of the biggest question marks 739 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 3: I have is whether who who is going to emerge there? 740 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: It might be the most pure can't battle. 741 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yes, it's and I think it's between if 742 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 3: we're just going a pure Nickel. Look, we're not talking 743 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 3: like just. 744 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: No, yeah, just like the guys in a typical NIKEL 745 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: slot corner. 746 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 3: Yes, it's it's between three three guys. You're talking about 747 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: d Alford, who's been the starter at Nickel the last 748 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 3: last two years. You have Clark Phillips, the third, who 749 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 3: primarily was working last year outside and he did get 750 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 3: some reps when Mike Cues was hurt outside opposite AJ Trarell. 751 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 3: And then you have Billy Bowman Junior, who is a 752 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 3: recent draft pick. And those are the three guys that 753 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 3: I think all of them are in this conversation, and 754 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,959 Speaker 3: I at this point in time don't know who I'm 755 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 3: putting above the other or even if nickel is going 756 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 3: to be the package that they predominantly sit in. 757 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, like that type of nickel again, because like 758 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: that you talked about, Yeah, as we've talked about, it 759 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of twenty nineteen or twenty twenty 760 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: when you had demarco'casey and Kean O'Neil and Ricardo Allen 761 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: and it was like, Okay, yeah, we don't necessarily need 762 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: Brian Poole because I think he was actually gone that 763 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: off season and they could kind of manufacture that big 764 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,479 Speaker 1: nickel look and same type of skill set. So yeah, 765 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: there is a chance that they don't really have either 766 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: of those any of those three out there, and they 767 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: do have DeMarco helms with Jordan Fuller and Jesse Bates 768 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 1: and Javier Watts. Yeah exactly. So of those three, though, 769 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: I think that the I think right now the leaders 770 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: is de offered, and I think the race is kind 771 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: of Billy Bowman's to win or lose. I think how 772 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: he performs in training camp will either help him secure 773 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: that job as the starter, because I watched him closely 774 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:25,280 Speaker 1: kind of on Wednesday. 775 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 3: It's funny that you mentioned that, because I knew were 776 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 3: going to get into this. One of the first things 777 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 3: that Will told me after we got off the practice 778 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 3: field the other day because you were specifically watching the rookies, 779 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 3: so everybody. 780 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: Goes that was my assignment. 781 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 3: That was design who's watching the rookies and giving like 782 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 3: a progress report on where they are and what they're doing. 783 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 3: And the first thing he said was, it's really easy 784 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 3: to watch Billy Bowman junior just just looking at him. Yeah, 785 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 3: that is word for literally what Will said. 786 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: So we'll just enjoy watching that young man practice. 787 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 3: Like what stuck out to you. 788 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: He's like fiery. You just kind of feel the energy 789 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,479 Speaker 1: resonating off him. He had a crop top jersey and 790 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: and then like tucked the under armour up underneath it. 791 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: So he was just like full sporting some midriff, which 792 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: you know it's hot out there on June tenth as 793 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: they were practicing, so hey, go for it, but just 794 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: quick to react kind of flies downhill swagger, which I 795 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: think kind of you need in that spot. That would 796 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: be an interesting little like episode is just ranking the 797 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: positions where like you need the most of the least swagger. 798 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 3: Oh, like we should absolutely does a. 799 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: Kicker need to have the most swagger on the team 800 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: or the. 801 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 3: Leastwager on the great question, right question? 802 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: Because I think a nickel corner like you if you 803 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: got a honey Badger, yeah. 804 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 3: Outside baker, outside corner wide receiver, just off the top 805 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 3: of outside corner wide receiver and then nickel, Yeah, those 806 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 3: are the ones that need the most swag. 807 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: I think I think we're onto something here. But yeah, 808 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: so he definitely brings that to the table and and 809 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: we have It was interesting when Rahee Morris was kind 810 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: of singling him out talking about the learning style of 811 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: all the rookies, and he was just like, and then 812 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: Billy Bowman kind of does his own thing, but you 813 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: can tell that he is asking everybody about everything and 814 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: just trying to learn everywhere he goes. I think that's 815 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: a pretty big green flag if you're looking at like, 816 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: are you going to earn your role in training camp? 817 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 3: Yeah? 818 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what he brings. But right 819 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: now the Alford probably has the spot. Can Billy Bowman, 820 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, knock him out of that or even Clark 821 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: Phillips As he continues to advance in his career, he 822 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: was our camp champ last year. 823 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 3: I was just about to say, like Clark Phillips is 824 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 3: for the last two years or three years, however long 825 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 3: he's been here. Now he always pops in training camp. 826 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, always't to talking about speed. I underestimated how fast 827 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: he actually is. 828 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, in his vertical like he's going up against Drake 829 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 3: London and Drake has you know, a bunch of inches 830 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 3: on him, so I oftentimes he just has this flashiness 831 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 3: to him that I don't think many people have seen 832 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 3: in season, but I feel like I see it all 833 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 3: the time in training camp, and I'm kind of like, 834 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 3: where's the disconnect, Like why can't we see this flashiness 835 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 3: in the season, And so it's kind of a toss up. 836 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 3: That's why I think this, to your point, is the 837 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 3: truest and most pure camp battle that we're gonna see 838 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 3: going into July, August and into the preseason. 839 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: Man, I can't wait, it's almost here. We're gonna keep 840 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: an eye on all of these. So don't worry. Even 841 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: though we say Nickel might be the most pure camp battle, 842 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: We're still going to be watching closely to the third 843 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: running back position and see, you know, is it going 844 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: to be Jase McClellan or Carlos Washington. I have my thoughts, 845 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: but we've got plenty of time to cover those not 846 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: on today's episode. Before we wrap up, though, it is 847 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: Father's Day this weekend, So Happy Father's dayed all the 848 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: dads out there. Father, I am a father, Yes, thank 849 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 1: you Liam for making me a daddy. But you grew 850 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: up as the daughter of a football coach. So I 851 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,919 Speaker 1: just thought it would be a fun way to close 852 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: this out to see if you have any memorable like 853 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 1: Father's Day moments that you had with your dad. 854 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,959 Speaker 3: So, oh gosh, there are so many, but I think 855 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 3: just recently my dad. And also so I'm the oldest 856 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: of three, three girls, and so we used to joke 857 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 3: when I was younger that dad, because he was around 858 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 3: football players so much, he had too much testosterone, like 859 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 3: at work, and so he'd come home and he could 860 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 3: only handle estrogen like that was the whole thing, is, 861 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 3: like we would joke. He's the best girl dad. I 862 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 3: can't say enough great things about about him. But something 863 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 3: special that's happened in the last month is my little sister, 864 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 3: who was eighteen. She's a big golfer. She won a 865 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 3: state championship back in May, and my dad, yeah, dad, 866 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,439 Speaker 3: it was her coach. He was her golf coach and 867 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 3: he actually when she won, when they won that state, 868 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 3: that golf state championship, my dad had actually done something 869 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 3: that I don't know very many people who have done this, 870 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 3: but he won a state championship coaching all three of 871 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 3: his daughters. 872 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: So he cut yes, that's so cool. Yeah, so he 873 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: could you win softball? 874 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 3: I'm a four time softball state champion in the state 875 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 3: of Georgia.

That blows my mind. 879 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,240 Speaker 1: I didn't realize I was sitting here with softball royalty. 880 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 3: So my dad coached me my junior and senior year. 881 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 3: We won both of those years.
