If you're a diehard 19 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: Falcons fan, you you probably know Will. Will is not 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: a new name or a new face to you because 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: Will has been in house previously with us, and then 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: he also had his own Falcons podcast and wrote a 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: little bit for Falcoholic as well, So this is not 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: new territory at all. This is actually your home. 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 3: Base to a certain it's an off season of like reunions, right. 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: You know, when Raheem Morris came back, I wanted to 27 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 3: ask him yesterday in the final mini camp press conference, 28 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 3: just like how long did it take for him to 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: get used to all of the changes that are happening 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: around here? Because it's every single day when I come in, 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 3: it's like I'm used to the way things were three 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: years ago, and so much has changed, including the room 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 3: that we're sitting in currently didn't exist, but like new 34 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: locker room, new cafeteria. So it's really cool to see 35 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 3: how the organization has changed, but also again to see 36 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 3: some of the familiar faces who have come back. So yeah, 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: it's been really really fun the last couple of days. 38 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: It's interesting because I think you actually have because of 39 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: this and because of your history with the organization, you 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: actually have a perspective that I find very interesting because 41 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: you covered the team before I got here, before Tarn 42 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: got here, and you were covering the team back when 43 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 2: Raheem was a position coach, back when he was a coordinator, 44 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: So I'm curious now you've been around him a couple 45 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: of days, and you've seen the culture that he's brought 46 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: to Atlanta upon his return. I'm curious from your perspective, 47 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: what are kind of some comparisons and also contrasts of 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: the Raheem Morris you knew four or five six years 49 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 2: ago to the guy standing in front of you today. 50 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean what what has stood out to me 51 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: the most, honestly is the fact that there are no contrasts, 52 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: Like he has been the same person this entire time, 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: and going from being an assistant coach where you know, 54 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: you don't get to talk to them as frequently as 55 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: you get to talk to, you know, a head coach 56 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: or the coordinators or some of the more like high 57 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: profile members of the staff. But when Raheem did work 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 3: his way into then being the defensive course and and 59 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: then the interim head coach, like it's the same guy. 60 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: It's to say he wears every single hat so naturally 61 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: because he is himself. And that is the most important 62 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 3: thing when you talk about in NFL locker room is 63 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: players respond to, you know, like a genuine leader and 64 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: a genuine character. I think there's a reason why his 65 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: first initial team meeting and I would encourage everybody to 66 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 3: go check out that video if you haven't already, it's 67 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: like six or seven minutes. I was ready to run 68 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: through a freaking brick wall for that guy. Yeah, because 69 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: he's just he's just so charismatic. He's so fun and energetic, 70 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: and I think that some of the things that I 71 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: have noticed just over the last you know, three days 72 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: of kind of seeing how they operate with mini campaign, 73 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: it feels like it is a little bit more of 74 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: that LA like vibe. There's a little bit of a chill, 75 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: relaxed atmosphere, and he has said that he's bringing over 76 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: some of the things that he learned from LA But 77 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: if anything, I think that only enhances it is Raheem's 78 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: kind of just natural state of being. So yeah, it's 79 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: it's cool to see him assuming this leadership position, but 80 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: he's not necessarily putting on a front. Yeah, he is 81 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: leading in the way that he is comfortable, and I 82 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: think the team is really going to benefit from that. 83 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: Well makes a good point too about vibes are high 84 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: vibes or high around here, and it's because obviously everywhere 85 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 2: across the league, this is the time where the vibes 86 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: are the best. No one's played a game. Everybody's just 87 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: kind of like around, getting work in and everything. 88 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna win the super Bowl. 89 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: Right, Everyone's winning the super Bowl of course in April 90 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: and May. It's like, yeah, of course, But Tarn, I'm 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: really curious to your perspective kind of what the last 92 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 2: year honestly like three years too. Well, you've only been 93 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: here for a year, so yeah, yeah, the last year 94 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: for you, and now seeing kind of what Raheem Morris's 95 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 2: culture looks like and how he's infused it since he 96 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: got here back in January February. I'm curious for you, 97 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: as Will's talking about the vibes around the facility, how 98 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 2: you view what Raheem Morris has done and kind of 99 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: infiltrating the culture here a little bit. 100 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 4: The difference between last season and this season is completely different. 101 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: And I don't think that's necessarily a knock on anyone 102 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 4: who was around last season, because a lot of people 103 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 4: are still the same. Hello me here, you here, Yeah, welcome, Will, 104 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: But it's just Raheem's personality is so unique to who 105 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 4: he is. I mean, he's bopping around, He's on our 106 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 4: side of the building maybe more than he's on his 107 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 4: own just kidding. 108 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 2: He has to walk through our side of the building 109 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: in order to leave. 110 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: The technicality out of this. Let us have our moment. 111 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: But it's just it's a more I don't want to 112 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 4: say fun go lucky because it sounds like he's not 113 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 4: taking it seriously, because he is, But like, I just 114 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 4: think his personality is more of that let loose. 115 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Business is business when it's business. 116 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 4: When it's business time, yeah, yeah, when it's not like 117 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 4: when he's off the clock. 118 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: He's off the clock. 119 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like we were talking about where we're going for 120 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: vacation and he's over here like Grease Mexico the Lake 121 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: and I go Wisconsin. 122 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: We live. I'm more excited about mine anyways. 123 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 4: But it's just like he turns it on and off, 124 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: but at the same time, he's consistent through it all, 125 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: if that makes sense. Like his personality is the same, 126 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 4: but he can go from football mode to I am 127 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: a human being mode and can talk to you about 128 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: something that has nothing to do with the pig skin. 129 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I've been waiting to do that nice And it's just 130 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: it's different. 131 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 4: It's different where I think last year it was maybe 132 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 4: more of a business atmosphere day in day out. 133 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, and I think it's for me personally. 134 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: You know, there are a lot of things that have 135 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 2: happened over the course of this off season. It hasn't 136 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: felt like an off season. If anything, I feel like 137 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: we've been busier over the last six months then even 138 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: I would say during the season, because during the season, 139 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: you're in such a like strict routine. You know exactly 140 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: what's happening when it's happening. There are very very few surprises. 141 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 2: But literally, we go into this offseason and it's new 142 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: head coach, new coordinators, a lot of new faces in 143 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: the building in terms of coaches, position coaches, everything like that. 144 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: Then you go you get Kirk Cousins. Then you go 145 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: and you get a trio of wide receivers and free agency, 146 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: and then you got the draft and you get Michael 147 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: Pennock junior, which everybody was talking about. And it's like 148 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: and then and then and then, I know, right, when 149 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: can we breathe? Yeah, it's like, yeah, we haven't had 150 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: a chance to really, I think look back on what 151 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: the last six months have been and appreciate it, and yeah, 152 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: and appreciate kind of everything that's transformed about the organization 153 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: from January Raheem Morris's first day to where we are 154 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: now that mandatory mini camp has officially come to a close. 155 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: So I guess my question to you guys. I know 156 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: that we recently, so every single week we do a 157 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: Question of the Week and it runs on Wednesdays on 158 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons dot Com around noon, And this week we 159 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: kind of said, like, Okay, the off season's over, like 160 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: everybody's breaking for the summer. We'll come back in training 161 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: camp and there of course be a multitude of questions 162 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: that we have to answer, but at this point in 163 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: time now, like what are your takeaways about what the 164 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: Falcons have done over the last six months? And I 165 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: actually wrote it down all of our different points, and 166 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to start in the order that we wrote 167 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: them in, so I'll start with mine. But mine was 168 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: essentially like the Falcons and the work they've done at 169 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: the quarterback position and getting out of what I have 170 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: called quarterback purgatory of the time from back in twenty 171 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty one, when you're having these questions about 172 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: the future of the Falcons organization beyond Matt Ryan and 173 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: not knowing what a secession plan looks like, and then 174 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: getting to the point where it's like, Okay, you bring 175 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 2: in Marcus Mariota, you bring in Desmond Ritter or either 176 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: of those guys gonna be a bridge to what's next? 177 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: Is Desmond Ridder going to be what's next? And you 178 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 2: get to the point where in the last two years 179 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: we've kind of just been like something's got to bend 180 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: a little bit, like the quarterback position has got to 181 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 2: it's got to be figured out. And that was one 182 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 2: if finding a new head coach for the Falcons in 183 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: January was priority one. A quarterback was one B. And 184 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: they go out and they get Kirk Cousins, Like we said, 185 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: they get Michael Pennock junior, it's been a number eight 186 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: overall draft pick on him, and they retain Taylor Heinike. 187 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: Looking at this quarterback room to me is fascinating because 188 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: and I said this, it's like, outside of the whole 189 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 2: news breaking aspect of all of those things, I actually 190 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: haven't talked a lot about the quarterback room as a 191 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: whole because really, yeah, because I feel with Kirk Cousins, 192 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 2: with Michael Pennock junior, with Taylor Heinekee as an option, 193 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: the Falcons did exactly what they wanted to do and 194 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 2: said they wanted to do, which was secure that position 195 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: not just for the short term but in the future. 196 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: And obviously that could change two weeks into the season 197 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: and I could have a completely different tone. But where 198 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: they are right now and seeing how that group operates 199 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: in practices, even without pads on and even without going 200 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: even fifty percent, I feel like the Falcons have set 201 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: themselves up with a quarterback room that feels as sure 202 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 2: as it has in a few years. And that's something 203 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: that coming from the last two years. It was almost 204 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: like a desperation that they needed to get to the 205 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: point of having not just one key playmaker at that position, 206 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: but multiple options that they could go to when things 207 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: start breaking down. I'm curious kind of y'all thoughts. 208 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean you use purgatory. I've been kind 209 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: of thinking about it as like a little bit of 210 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 3: a valley, right, like you go from from Matt Ryan 211 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: and when I was here, like they were talking about 212 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 3: a succession plan back then, even though you know, the 213 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: expectation was that Matt still has a lot of good 214 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: years left in front of him, you just never know 215 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: when that cliff comes for a quarterback. And I think 216 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: really the last last year in particular, but kind of 217 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 3: last couple of years, you saw the limitations of what 218 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: a roster that is maybe more complete and balanced than 219 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: it was at the end of the Matt Ryan era 220 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: when they were very offensive heavy and just had it 221 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: invested a lot of money in those players. You saw 222 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: the limitations of kind of that approach when you don't 223 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 3: don't have a quarterback who's able to, you know, maximize 224 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: kind of what is around him. Right, It's like that 225 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 3: Trent Dilford Ravens team. You know you can have success 226 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: that way, but they just never found that right formula 227 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: and so we'll kind of get to the opportunity cost 228 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 3: of it all. But I think the Falcons did a 229 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: great job of saying this is clearly the most important priority. 230 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: There are others, but we need to get this right, 231 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: and that's what they did. 232 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Taryn, I'm curious, like, as you've been out at practice, 233 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: how does that group work together when you're talking about 234 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins and Michael Pannings Junior Taylor Heineke. Those are 235 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: the three that I'm talking about, but they also have 236 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: a fourth. But what do you see when you're out 237 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: at practice. 238 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 4: Well, you normally see Kirk and Taylor working together because 239 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 4: I'm thinking just back to yesterday when they had kind 240 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 4: of the ones together and the twos together, and then 241 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 4: you split the quarterback group before two and two and 242 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 4: they had Kirk Cousins and Taylor Heineke together. Shout out 243 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: to Taylor still being here. I love those meon pajama 244 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 4: pants at practice. 245 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: Gosh, there is no one who has I use the 246 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 2: word style very loose. Yeah, nothing against Taylor, but the 247 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: bush light hat and sweatshirt. 248 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. 249 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 4: And then you have Michael Pennox Junior and insert first 250 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 4: name here Paddock sorry over on the other side, and 251 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 4: so that makes it tough to see how Penix and 252 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 4: Cousins are interacting together in that sense. But when they 253 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 4: are all together, you can see how they will communicate 254 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 4: to each other. And at the same time, something that 255 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: has stood out to me throughout all this is Raheem 256 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: Morris saying the onush, which is such a fun word, 257 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 4: is on Michael Pennocks Junior to learn from Kirk Cousins, 258 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 4: and it's not on Kirk Cousins to teach Michael Pennock Junior. 259 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 4: And it's just that's such an interesting way to put 260 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: it because you would think it's a partnership, but it's 261 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 4: like that. 262 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: I do like it. 263 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 4: I do because Kirk's sole focus should be winning a championship, 264 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 4: should be winning games, going week by week, being one 265 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 4: hundred percent healthy. If you add anything else, that play 266 00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 4: could tip over. And when it comes to Michael, his 267 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 4: responsibility is solely learning and growing, Like he doesn't have 268 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 4: to worry about suiting up week one and going out 269 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 4: there and taking a snap, not right now at least, 270 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: and so he just needs to grow and develop and 271 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 4: to do that you have thirty five year old Kirk 272 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 4: Cousins ahead of him to do so. So I really 273 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: liked that it was put that way. I think it 274 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: kind of makes it where ideally Kirk doesn't have a 275 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 4: little over her shoulder, like is he gonna, mister, steal 276 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 4: your job instead of steal your girl? And that was 277 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 4: made clear from day one that that is not the intention. 278 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: And I like that transparency. 279 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah me too. I mean they literally said, from go honest, yeah, 280 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: it's not this is not a Kirk Cousins conversation, Like 281 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: it's not Kirk's responsibility to do anything outside of go 282 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: out and beat QB one. Yeah. 283 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: But that's so interesting because we usually when we talk 284 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 3: about like later externally, when you talk about the quarterback 285 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 3: transition plan, usually it is like under the guys of 286 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: all right, like this person is coming in to be 287 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 3: mentored by the established quarterback. Right, Like if they had 288 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: drafted somebody while Matt Ryan was still here, we would 289 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 3: have been all talking about how great a mentor Matt 290 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: Ryan is going to be. So it is interesting to 291 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 3: see the club kind of say, hey, look, no, like 292 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 3: the onus is on you. You know, you got to 293 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: chase getting better. We want to see you be motivated 294 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: and hungry. Kirk's got his own priorities that we like. 295 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: He's already got his own deliverables that we have set 296 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: for him. 297 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 4: So I think that's because Kirk is new to Atlanta. 298 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 4: I don't think we forget that. But it does change 299 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 4: the dynamic automatically, because I know during the draft they 300 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 4: kept saying, like the Green Bay Way, Well, this is 301 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 4: the Green Bay Way modified. Because Kirk is new to Atlanta. 302 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 4: He has to learn this offense, he has to learn 303 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: the players to throw in teaching someone new. How do 304 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 4: you teach someone when you're still learning. 305 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's the. 306 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: Kansas City way. It's the Alex Smith kind of like. 307 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: But Alex Smith was was a good kind of I 308 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 3: think he and Kirk Cousins are similar in that way. 309 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think that's why it's on pangs rather 310 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: than cushers. 311 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 312 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: So moving on, Will, I want to get to your 313 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: answer from our question of the week this past week. 314 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: You kind of talked about pass rush a little bit 315 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: and how the Falcons are banking on the sum of 316 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: their pass rush parts. I'm kind of curious what intrigues 317 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: you about this defensive front when you're talking about pass rush, 318 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: because people remember, pass rush doesn't only come from outside. 319 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: There's a lot of really great interior pass rushers out 320 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: there included. 321 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: Which will get to Grater in a little bit and 322 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: steal my thunder. 323 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: No, that's what I said. We're going to get it. 324 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 3: We're going to get mister steel your girl. It's still 325 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: your point, no, I yeah, I mean I was talking 326 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: a little bit about the opportunity cost with the quarterback decision, 327 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: and I think it was absolutely the right call to 328 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 3: go and like invest the money in Kirk cousins that 329 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: you did, and then also to yeah, it took some 330 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 3: cojones to use that number eight pick, But I think 331 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 3: if you're pulling back, it's wise to to like lay 332 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 3: the groundwork and maybe correct the wrong that you didn't 333 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: get right the first time around with Matt Ryan. However, 334 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 3: that did not leave many resources for them to go 335 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 3: pursue the top tier pass rusher. And you can quibble 336 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: with who was available as a free agent, who was 337 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 3: really out there the draft. I think NFL team showed 338 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: you by not taking a defensive player until pick fifteen. 339 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: Leati Latsu, my guy who I loved in the pre 340 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: draft process, is gonna take a little bit of w 341 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: on that one because you went first. But this just 342 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: wasn't the defensive heavy draft that say, next year's draft 343 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 3: is expected to be. So when you are a team 344 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 3: that does have kind of a lack of a proven 345 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: star caliber pass rusher, maybe this just wasn't the offseason 346 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 3: and go about doing that. But what they did, and 347 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: what I like is that they added some different options 348 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: that have some different flavors. As they are kind of 349 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: retweeting this defense, going back to a little bit of 350 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: a three to four look which was there under dnps 351 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 3: went away under Ryan Nielsen when they brought in a 352 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: few different body types, Like it's going to be an 353 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 3: interesting bunch. But I I almost look at this as 354 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: a baseball team that doesn't necessarily have Like we've got 355 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 3: a true middle reliever, then we got a setup man 356 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: for the eighth inning, and then we've got Craig Kimberl 357 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: coming out of the bullpen to just shut it down, 358 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 3: like we know who our guys are. Instead, they're like, 359 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 3: we have eight dudes in the bullpen that we hope 360 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: like four of them are gonna emerge. But like on 361 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 3: any given day, Yeah, we're gonna lean into our strengths. 362 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 3: We're gonna give these guys rests there. We're gonna get 363 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 3: some fresh legs out there on the field. I think 364 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: that's what you're gonna see a lot from the defensive line, 365 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 3: in the outside linebackers, guys like Zach Harrison getting in 366 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 3: the mix, Takwon Graham going in alongside of Arnold, Avid 367 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 3: Katie and Lorenzo Carter, like Brayln Tries getting in there, 368 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 3: Brandon Dorles, all of the rookies that they drafted a 369 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 3: row row. I'm not gonna pass up that opportunity. It's 370 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 3: sitting right there for me. Yeah. So when you look 371 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 3: at what Raheem Morris did last year with LA and 372 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: a very young group and kind of getting the most 373 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 3: out of them, that gives me some optimism that he 374 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 3: can do something similar with again a little bit of 375 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 3: an unproven group. And then the final bit of that 376 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 3: is going to be the simulated pressures. I really think 377 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: that the Falcons are going to be pretty high in 378 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 3: their usage of simulated pressures. We saw Kaden Ellis have 379 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 3: a lot of success last year. Troy Anderson was back 380 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 3: in the mix. He's got a lot of speed to burn. 381 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 3: So it's not going to be one guy. It's going 382 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: to be a committee approach. And last year they had 383 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 3: forty two sacks. They're most in two thousand and four 384 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: with a similar type of approach. So it's not doom 385 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 3: and gloom for them on the pass rush front, but 386 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 3: they didn't go ad like that proven TJ. Watt type 387 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 3: of guy. 388 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 2: Here's the thing that you bring up to and you 389 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: talk about having fresh legs and everything like that. Something 390 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: that's been very interesting. Here's the thing about you know, 391 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: OTAs and mandatory minicamp, the pads aren't on. Your evaluation 392 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 2: of the trenches is non existing. You cannot evaluate so hard, 393 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: like you can't evaluate where these guys are, how they're playing, 394 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 2: how they're doing, how they're developing, because they're going they're 395 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 2: not tackling, which as a defense, that's what you do, 396 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: that's what you do. So it's really hard to evaluate. 397 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: But I think even in the evaluations, we can kind 398 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: of see different groups working together, and it has been 399 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 2: very evident that the Falcons have as much, if not 400 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: more depth on their front seven as they have had 401 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 2: in years, and you can just tell by the rotation. 402 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: It's funny too, because early on in OTAs, it was 403 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: almost like they had different groups where it was like, Okay, 404 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: these are guys who have been in the league for 405 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: four plus years, they're all on a line together. Guys 406 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: who have been in the league three years and less, 407 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: they're on a line together. And then you mix and match, 408 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: and then you're rotating guys again. 409 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 3: Sub sections within the like sub packages within sub packages. 410 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 2: Exactly, and I think that is indicative of kind of 411 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 2: the front office and the work they've done to kind 412 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 2: of do what you're saying, where it's like piece together 413 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: different parts and have different body types and have different 414 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: guys who can do a little bit of different things. 415 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: Be a bit hybrid in that way. And I think 416 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 2: that you don't know if it sets yourself up for success, 417 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: but that's the hope as you kind of tweak and 418 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: figure out, like, okay, like who do we have, what 419 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: are their strings? How can we them and what does 420 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: that look like in a rotation within even a series. 421 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that puts a lot on the coaching staff, Yes, 422 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: but again I like that. I like this coaching staff 423 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: kind of betting on themselves to say, yeah, we've got 424 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 3: to know the strengths and weaknesses for each of these guys, 425 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 3: because there aren't a ton of players like a Grady 426 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: Jarrett who can just do it all and do it 427 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: really at a high level. So you got to know, 428 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 3: here's how we want to deploy Zach Harrison, right, Here's 429 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 3: how we want to deploy Brayln Trice. But I trust 430 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: this coaching. 431 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: Staff, Tarin. I'm will brings up Grady Jarrett and I 432 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: want to get into kind of your response to this 433 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 2: offseason takeaway question. We have not seen Grady Jarrett out 434 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: on the field with this team, and that I mean 435 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: for those who have been around Atlanta, even kind of 436 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: just looking on from Afar, you know who Grady Jarrett is. 437 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: He's been one of the best defensive tackles in the 438 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: league for a long time, but the Falcons were without him. 439 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 2: He's still working back from a season ending knee injury 440 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 2: that he sustained in week eight of the twenty three season. 441 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 2: He spoke actually for the first time this off season 442 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: on the last day of mini camp. He didn't practice, 443 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: he was but he's here at the facility and tearing. 444 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 2: You were sitting in on that press conference, and it 445 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 2: was a very I think maybe emotional one. Can you 446 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 2: kind of tell the people a little bit about what 447 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 2: you learned about Grady and where he's at with his recovery. 448 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 4: For starters, when you think about it, he didn't have 449 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 4: to talk because he didn't practice. Yeah, So like that 450 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 4: alone speaks volumes to who he is as an individual. 451 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 4: And maybe not only that, but like how much he 452 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 4: learned during this period because it's been seven months and 453 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 4: the timeline he was given was nine months for recovery 454 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 4: that he got surgery in November and nine months from 455 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 4: that is July, So you have to be right on 456 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 4: schedule if you want to be participating in training camp, 457 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 4: and that takes discipline, and he acknowledged that. He said, 458 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 4: I got surgery and the next day I began rehab. 459 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 4: And he gave this example that was just like, it 460 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 4: gives me the chicken, Like, I can't imagine that feeling 461 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 4: where he like sat out the edge and all he 462 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 4: had to do was lift his leg. 463 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: He couldn't do it. 464 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, like he said, I put all my might and 465 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 4: I couldn't do it. It felt like my leg was falling off. 466 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 4: And I'm like, first of all, but yeah. 467 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: There's a reason I'm not in medicine. 468 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 4: And it's just to think he went from that to 469 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 4: now walking around and knowing he will be ideally full go. 470 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 4: Maybe a little altercations at training him means he's stuck 471 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: to his regiment to a tea and he was vulnerable 472 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: in the fact that I think the quote that stood 473 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 4: out to me most and of course I'm not going 474 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 4: to get it right word for word, but he was 475 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: like in this, I think I needed that in that moment, 476 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 4: and that's him being like the kind of glad the 477 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 4: injury happened, maybe not glad, but like it taught him 478 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 4: so much about himself. Where Like he was saying how 479 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 4: he has a new appreciation for his wife taking care 480 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 4: of their son. It's like, man, that kid is a handful, 481 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: so he like appreciates that time with his kid more. 482 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 4: He appreciates it the effort it takes to be a 483 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 4: day to day parent because otherwise, I mean he is, 484 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 4: but like. 485 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: He's always here. 486 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, And then he was like acknowledging those who help 487 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 4: with the Grady Gibbs Foundation and all the effort that 488 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 4: goes in there. And then he starts talking about his 489 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 4: backyards being redone and it started at the same time 490 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 4: as his rehab and they're still working and he's like, 491 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 4: everybody works hard at their job, and I'm blessed that 492 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 4: my heart is football. It's a game, and that self 493 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 4: awareness was incredible in and of itself. And then he 494 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 4: starts talking about the game itself and he was like, 495 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 4: as a player, I was able to watch it kind 496 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 4: of like I would watch film and it'd be analytical. 497 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 4: But then he put himself in the fan choose and 498 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 4: he's watching his teammates from the sideline, like while they're 499 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 4: on the sideline being like, how are they interacting with 500 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 4: each other? What is my takeaway as a fan when 501 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 4: maybe you see him throw a helmet or like shrug 502 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 4: off a congrats or you see the opposite in a 503 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 4: happy way, like people are congratulating each other. What is 504 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 4: the message that gives about the team to the fans? 505 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 4: And it's just his perspective on all of it. It 506 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 4: was kind of like, wow, homeboy. 507 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: Learned a lot. 508 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 2: Well, like that press conference, Oh my gosh, well at 509 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: that press conference is exactly why Grady Jarrett is the 510 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: heart and soul of this organization. And he's going into 511 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: year ten and for an interior defensive lineman, that in 512 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 2: and of itself is like hoorah for you man. 513 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 4: And he only missed three games until the injury, right, 514 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 4: this is not something he's ever dealt with before. 515 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: He's never dealt with the season ending injury and so 516 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: being able to be like, I learned a lot even 517 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 2: going into year ten, and that's something he's always talked about, 518 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: even back in twenty sixteen, even back before then. He's like, 519 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: I'm always learning, I'm always growing, and I always appreciate 520 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 2: I've always I've said this before, I'll say it again. 521 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: But like I always appreciate the professional that Grady Jarrett is, 522 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 2: but it's become more than that to this point. It's 523 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 2: the person that Grady Jarrett is, and I think we 524 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 2: saw the human emotions of what this injury was for 525 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 2: him in the context of going into a decade with 526 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 2: one team, your hometown team. That story is pretty incredible, 527 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 2: and you hope for Great Jarrett that the production in 528 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: year ten matches the magnitude of what it took for 529 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 2: him to get here, not just over the course of 530 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: this injury, but over the course of nine years in Atlanta. 531 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 2: But we got to move on because we're running out 532 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 2: of time here. But I did want to talk our 533 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 2: last note that we had about off season takeaways Omna 534 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 2: sub Han. She wrote about the wide receivers and it's 535 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 2: a very interesting group. It's one of the groups that 536 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: had the most turnover across the team just in general. 537 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 2: The only person who at one point during this offseason 538 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 2: they only had one receiver who had caught a pass 539 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three on the roster, and that was 540 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 2: Drake London. 541 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: Of course, the lone wolf. 542 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 2: The lone wolf, as Taren has talked about in previous 543 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 2: questions of the week if y'all read it, But which 544 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: has a full pack? He has a five pack. 545 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 3: Time you say that, I think of Allen from the 546 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 3: Hangover giving that Yeah, when he's just like giving that 547 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 3: speech on the rooftop and the Vegas and he's like 548 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 3: and now we're the wolves running together alone or whatever. 549 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 3: It's so fun. 550 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: I think a Jack London's called the Wild. Yeah, Drake 551 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: London's call the While. 552 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, Tarren has an analogy analogy about the 553 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: wolves and Drake London and it's great. But what's really 554 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: interesting is this group looks so different than what they 555 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: have over the last three years and Arthur Smith's type 556 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: of scheme. And that's because it's again to your point, 557 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: LA influences. And I was actually talking to Darnell Mooney 558 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 2: yesterday our last day of camp, and he I asked 559 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 2: him about kind of where they were an install and 560 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: where they felt. And obviously there's a lot of emphasis 561 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: put on quarterback and wide receiver or titan or running 562 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: back because of Kyle Pitts, but John Robinson, but there's 563 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: a lot of emphasis on the relationship between pass catchers 564 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: and your quarterback. And that's during this time. That is 565 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 2: something you can very much evaluate and I found it 566 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: very very interesting Darnell Mooney's response to kind of where 567 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: he felt like they were an install He's like, yeah, 568 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: we feel good. I feel when Kirk and I are 569 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: on the field together. If he's gonna put it in 570 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: the spot, I just need to make sure I get there. 571 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: But what else he's kind of talked about was this 572 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: idea of spacing, and this was something that over the 573 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: last few years I had an almost like issue, I 574 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: don't know if it is the right way, it's the 575 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 2: right word. I had an issue with the spacing of 576 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: route trees and everything like that, and that is something 577 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: The fact that Darnell Mooney made the point to talk 578 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 2: about spacing and how everybody there's no one He's like, 579 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: there's no one around me, Like I got to beat 580 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: my man, I'm not beating other people. And I found 581 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 2: that to be so fascinating is something that I'm probably 582 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 2: going to look more into and kind of look at 583 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: Sean mcvay's route trees because you know, obviously they've had 584 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 2: so much success with Matthew Stafford and all of the 585 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: receivers that he's had at his disposal over the last 586 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: few years. But that was something that was so fascinating 587 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: when he's talking about spacing, because that immediately when he 588 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 2: said that, I was like, that's a difference between last year, 589 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 2: the last couple of years, and where the Falcons are now, 590 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: maybe even from a schematic standpoint, with Zach Robinson bringing 591 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: over the La influence. 592 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you very rarely. I feel like over 593 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: the last couple of years saw the Falcons catch a 594 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 3: ball on the move in space. A lot of their 595 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 3: routes were kind of stagnant at the end of their route. 596 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 2: It was comebacks, you know, because we don't know what's 597 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: being asked and all that kind of stuff. 598 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, but I mean there were, like to your point, like, 599 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 3: there were many times where the ball is thrown and 600 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 3: it looks like two guys are kind of like running 601 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 3: similar routes on top of each other, like there are 602 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: two guys underneath the basket boxing out to get the rebound. 603 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 3: And that's not always what it is, at least in 604 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 3: my mind. Again, we don't know what the play design is, 605 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 3: what they're asked to do. That there may have been 606 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: a very good reason for that, but when you look 607 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 3: at the way that the rams have used motion, the 608 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: way that they have used kind of these crossing concepts 609 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 3: to create just like wide open runners where you can 610 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 3: get a long hand off to a guy in space 611 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 3: as he rounds the corner. It's it's just going to 612 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 3: be I think a little bit more of an explosive 613 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 3: type of passing game less so like that ball control 614 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 3: type of passing game that I think they have tended 615 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 3: towards the last couple of years. And then when you 616 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 3: look at the actual skill sets of the receivers they 617 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 3: brought in, Darnell Mooney, Rondell Moore, Ray Raven Cloudy, there's 618 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 3: something that Raheie Morris when you ask about like his 619 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 3: time as an assistant when he was the receivers coach here, 620 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 3: he used to always talk about, we want guys quick cuts, 621 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: fast cuts, speed cuts, right, And that's what when you 622 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: look at like Darnell Mooney and the speed that he brings, 623 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 3: when you look at Rondeo Moore and kind of the 624 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 3: underneath prowess that he has in manipulating z own default. 625 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 2: All these guys run sub four or five. 626 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, like they're fast. They're correctly fast. 627 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: They're six foot and blow all run sub four fives. That, 628 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: I mean immediately as soon as they got him. It's like, 629 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: that's going to be something to take note of. 630 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 4: Well, that was a priority for sure, because I think 631 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 4: it was a few weeks ago. I sat with Ike 632 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 4: Hillard for at least fifteen twenty minutes, sorry other assistants, 633 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 4: and he went through the entire wide receiver room essentially, 634 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 4: and the one thing they all had in common with speed. 635 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 4: He's like, we want to be a fast group. Speed 636 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 4: is a priority, and I think that'll compliment this space 637 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 4: very well. You can't really have space if you don't 638 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 4: have speed. 639 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 2: Hmmm. 640 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 3: I love that. 641 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, and here's the thing too. Let's say 642 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: this right now. It's not like the Falcons are going 643 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 2: to be throwing the ball around the yard eighty percent 644 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: of the game. 645 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. Drake Lennon said ball going to be 646 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: in the air, so did Darnel Mooney. 647 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 2: But you can't tell me that they're not going to 648 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 2: run the crap out of the ball because you have 649 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 2: Here's the thing too, I say this, you can't go 650 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 2: too far. You all want to implement. Everybody wants to 651 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 2: implement their own scheme. Zach Robinson wants to implement his 652 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: own scheme, and it very much differs from the scheme 653 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: that was here previously, where it was very run heavy run. 654 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: First it was we're going to bulldoze you at the 655 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. But the thing is, this offensive line 656 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: is built for that. 657 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 3: That's true. 658 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 2: That is what they do best. They run. They are 659 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 2: one of the best and most experienced unblocking groups. I 660 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,239 Speaker 2: would say, I would argue in the league, you have 661 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: two incredibly talented running backs and Jean Robinson and Tyler Algier, 662 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 2: you that still is an asset. 663 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: You still have this piece. 664 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: Even though we're talking about the receivers, and we're talking 665 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 2: about the speed, we're talking about Kirk Cousins getting the 666 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: ball down field, all all of that still is gonna matter. 667 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 2: But don't think for a second that they're gonna get 668 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: completely away from their what their bread and butter has 669 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: been the last three years, which is we're gonna hand 670 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: the ball off and we're gonna have Tyler Alja run 671 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 2: over people. 672 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: Dare I say balance? 673 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: Dare I say balance? That's a no. That's what they 674 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 2: want to be. That's what everybody wants to be. You 675 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 2: want to be a balanced offense. 676 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, I think the hope is that you're 677 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: you're looking for increased efficiency. Right, you don't have to 678 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 3: like totally go one way for totter one way or 679 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 3: the other right to pass heavy, run heavy, But what 680 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 3: you want is when you choose to pass, you're getting explosives. 681 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 3: When you choose to run, you're getting four or five 682 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 3: six yards because you're doing it at advantageous times. The 683 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 3: Falcons have faced so many heavy boxes because of the 684 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 3: lack of that real threatening passing game, and so maybe 685 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 3: the balance like, yeah, they're not going to get away 686 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 3: from the run, but maybe we see even more of 687 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 3: an effective run game even if the attempts are dial 688 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 3: back a little bit, but the efficiency ticks up. Yeah. 689 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 2: Well, this has been a fantastic first podcast with Will. 690 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: Not our first podcast, but officially welcome, Welcome to the team, 691 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Ticketmaster studios.
