1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, Stacy. Hi Bill, how are you today? I'm good, Joe,

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: how are you doing good? I was just warning at

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: this point in the week, on a short week, what's

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: the most important thing for your guys is they get

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: ready to step on this flight. Is it more of

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: getting their body right or of the mental thing of

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: getting the game plan and continuing to study. Yeah, I

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: think a combination of both and physically being ready to play.

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: We're you know, this is a like a Saturday for us,

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: So there's a you know, a routine that everybody's in

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: that we're not quite in. But up until this to

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: this point, we got to try to get as close

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: to it as we can do our normal day before

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: end day of the game routine. UM. But that said,

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: there's still time between now and the game to continue

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: to prepare, UM watch film, talk to teammates about UM

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: calls or adjustments or or things like that, and or

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: ask questions. And we meet tonight and tomorrow morning, and

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure that we'll have some questions from guys that UM,

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, saw something or talked about something and just

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: you don't need to clear it up. So that's really

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: enables us to UM play confidently and play aggressively to

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: try to iron out as many of those things as

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: we can. Great. Thanks, Bill, Yeah, you're welcome. My next

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: question first Willing, followed by nickle Mally, Hey, Bill, how

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: are you good? Chris? How's it going good? Um? Want

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: to check in on the role you feel the secondary

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: has played in improving the overall pass rush and how

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: you feel the coverage has perhaps helped out Judon and

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: others who have been able to put up big numbers.

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: All right, Well, the passing game is really a combination

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: of just team defense. It's the pass rush, forcing the

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: ball out on time and the cover each having the

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: receivers covered at over certain you know, at a certain

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: period of time for the timing of the play based

36
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: on the depth of the quarterback drop and so forth.

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: That that they're kind of when they match the receivers.

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: So one without the other isn't isn't really? You know

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: that good If you have a good rush on the

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: quarterback of the receivers are open, then you know, good

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to get rid of the ball and vice versa.

42
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: You can't cover them all day, so the Russia has

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: got to match the coverage. So it's really a little

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: bit of a understanding from a team team standpoint that

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, on shorter throws and shorter drops, how we

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: have to rush quicker and force the ball out on

47
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: time and the coverage just to match those routes quicker.

48
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: And on longer plays we have a little a little

49
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: bit more time to generate our pass rush and whether

50
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: it be techniques or or some type of you know,

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: movement stunt. And from a coverage standpoint, we're not covering

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: the receiver until they get further down the field or

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: or further into their route. And so UM it's the

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: combination of those things coming together and recognizing the type

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: of pass it is and and the timing of the

56
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: pass and then m matching the rushing the coverage to

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: to meet it. And you know, teams like Atlanta and

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: UM in New Orleans and uh, you know Tampa, Dallas,

59
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: those teams all did a good job of mixing the

60
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: type of pass that they threw, so you couldn't always

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: count on it being the same rhythmic type of pass. UM.

62
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: So if you get you know, deep drops, short drops,

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: moving pockets, play action, different types of play action, that

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: that change up the you know, the way the rushers

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: are gonna, um go to the quarterback, whether it sometimes

66
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: that's the line sliding on a blocking scheme or a

67
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: guard pulling on a blocking scheme, but it's not a run,

68
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and then that that changes the Russia little bit. So um,

69
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: and all those things are done by the offense to

70
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: try to keep the defense off balance and either slow

71
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: down the rush or or cause some hesitation in in

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: the aggressiveness of the rush. So it's our job defensively

73
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: to figure that out and and try to make you know,

74
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: recognize what's happening and react to it as quickly as

75
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: we can. So that's yeah, that's that's challenge for us

76
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: this week. But um, there are many times where our

77
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: pass rush forces the and sometimes that's because of disguise

78
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: on the pre snap, but it forces the quarterback just

79
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: to hold the ball split sucking longer and that really

80
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: helps the rush. And and there'll also have been times

81
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: when the rush is kind of right there and the

82
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: quarterback can't can't get to us primary receiver on that

83
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: particular pattern, and then that gives the defenders that half

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: second split second longer to match it. Um. And so

85
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully those will continue to work. Together favorably

86
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: for us and on Matt Ryan as well. Obviously, folks

87
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: around even followed him for a while since his time

88
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: at Boston College. How have you seen him evolve over

89
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: the years, And he's one of those guys you're kind

90
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: of talking about before that's really good extending the play

91
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: and allowing for receivers to get open. Well, I think

92
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: this year he's really done a good job and has

93
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: really improved his timing on the passing game and not

94
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: holding the ball as long, getting it out on time

95
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: more consistently. He has a good arm and reads coverage

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: as well and all that. There's never really done a

97
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: question on that, but I feel like in watching him

98
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: play last year to this year that his timing is good.

99
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: The ball comes out quickly and and he's just not

100
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: holding it very much. He's getting to his outlet receivers

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: quickly and getting the ball in their hands and then

102
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: they're to make positive plays. And in the past, um,

103
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 1: you know again, I think he's just improved in that area.

104
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: So well, that's whatever the coaching Julio not there. I'm

105
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: not really sure what's the cause of all that, but

106
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: I think it's it's noticeable of how how much more

107
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: efficient he's been in the passing game as completion percentage

108
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: is up, the sacks interceptions are down. Um, so I

109
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: don't think he's playing well. Ex question different. I want

110
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: to ask about tight ends and when I was thinking

111
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: of defending tight ends and the falcons and thinking of

112
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: the game a few years ago going up against Tony Gonzalez,

113
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: member of the play where he had basically had two

114
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: guys on him lining up like gunners on the goal line.

115
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: That's right, Um, does does Kyle Pitts present that same

116
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: sort of like athletic challenge where maybe not winding up

117
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: to two guys like gunners, but um, where you sort

118
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: of have to find a unique circumstance defensively to match

119
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: up with that. Yeah, well we're not allowed to do

120
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: that anymore. We're not allowed to vise him like we

121
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: could um back when we went against Gonzales. But if

122
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: we could this, this will probably be a good week

123
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: to do it. Um. Yeah, Pitts is a really, really

124
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: talented player. Um. He's he's very long. UM, has excellent hands.

125
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: It's good quickness to get off the line, good quickness

126
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: to the top of his route. He has a huge

127
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: catch radius has made some spectacular one handed catches where um,

128
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: the defenders are kind of grabbing at his other arm,

129
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: he can only get one hand on the ball and

130
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: he still hauls it in. Um. Again, he's a big target. Um.

131
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: You know, Ryan's a very accurate quarterback. But um, he's

132
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: a huge charge. He's hard to overthrow, and and he

133
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: makes place with the ball on either side of him

134
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: that you know, most receivers just can't make. So it's um,

135
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, somewhere between a Julio Jones and a Tony Gonzalez.

136
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: And but he's a big, strong guy to you know,

137
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: like Kenzalez was. So if you start pushing off against him,

138
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna win that because he's bigger and longer

139
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: and just as strong as as anybody's pushing on him

140
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: unless they're a linebacker, and then it's a linebacker, then

141
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: he has a huge advantage against those guys from you know,

142
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: speed and quickness standpoint. So he's really good, um, and

143
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be really good. I'm sure he'll break

144
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: all the tight end receiving records for a rookie this year.

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: And um, um, you know, Coach Smith's done an excellent

146
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: job of of you know, putting him in positions where

147
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to hard, hard to get a lot of

148
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: coverage on him, and then then the type of play

149
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: that they run based on where he's lined up. It

150
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: just Um, you know, he creates some opportunities for him,

151
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: and he's certainly able to take advantage of him with

152
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: his out sanny skill set. So this is gonna be

153
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: that's be a tough match up for us, sure, and

154
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: his first turned end, whether it's a guy like Gonzales

155
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: or Kittle or Kelsey. Um, when a tight end's featured

156
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: in the passing attack with that, what sort of challenges

157
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: it present as opposed to having like a top receiver

158
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: like a Julio Julio or a hill where it's a

159
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: guy it's a tight end where you're really focusing on. Yeah, Well, again,

160
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: i'd say the difference with Um with Pitts from what

161
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: we've seen so far. I know, you know, we've got

162
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: half a season and and they haven't had Ridley here

163
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. But but Pitts plays a

164
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: lot of receiver. I mean, he's plays as a wide receiver,

165
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: stands out outside the formation, and so when you talk

166
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: about a player like Julio Jones. Again, it was a

167
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: great player in his own right, but you never saw

168
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones really line up at tight end. You would

169
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: see Gonzales and and Kelsey and Kittle and those guys

170
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: flex out a little bit, but most of their damage

171
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: was done inside. And that's a great place for a

172
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: tight end because he has so many two way options

173
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: of going outside or going inside. But when you're in

174
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: the middle field, it's kind of even go anywhere. And

175
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: I would say Pitts has impressed me with his ability

176
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: to play as a perimeter receiver, as a true perimeter

177
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: receiver a high percentage of the time. It's not like

178
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: he's just out there, you know, once or twice a game.

179
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: He's out there a lot. Now from game to game

180
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: it could be different, but you've got to be you've

181
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: got to be able to handle him out there, and

182
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: then you've got to be able to handle him inside too.

183
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: And again, you don't see very many receivers come in

184
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: and actually block and block one of the front seven players.

185
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: They might come in and block a dB, but they

186
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: don't come in and block one of the front seven players.

187
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's you know, one of the things

188
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: that separates Kittle from you know, a lot of other

189
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: tight ends that you could talk about is his superior

190
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: blocking ability. But Pitts can come in there and block.

191
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: But then I would say more than Gonzales or more

192
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: than Kittle or even Kelsey. He extends out more than

193
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: they do too. So his his ability to really be

194
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: a receiver to a tight end is pretty impressive. It's

195
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: similar to Patterson um Cordell, who can play receiver, slot, receiver,

196
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: and running back um on any given play and he

197
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: doesn't look out a place in any of those spots.

198
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: And and those are really challenging matchups for a defense

199
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: when when when you look at a player but you

200
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: really don't know what he is, Like with Patterson, is

201
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: he a running back, is he in the slot or

202
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: is he a perimeter receiver? And he's killed He's killed

203
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: teams at all three spots or the same thing when

204
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: you call a defense, you don't know if if Pitts

205
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: is going to be attached to the tackle or detached

206
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: from the tackle, flexed a little bit, or you know,

207
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: lined up outside the numbers. And he's a problem in

208
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: all spots. So those guys are are Toughen and um,

209
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, Coach Smith's done a good job of, I

210
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: would say, putting together a very versatile team. You look

211
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: at a guy like Frank's who's similar to Hill from

212
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans, plays quarterback, but he also plays tight end,

213
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: and he also plays in the kicking game, and he's

214
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's out there, you know, banging heads with

215
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: linebackers and you know, running backs and everybody else on

216
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: special teams. So is he a tight end? Is he

217
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Um? Again, he's on the field. Again, it

218
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: goes kind of back to the Hill conversation. He's on

219
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: the field, but you really don't know where where he's

220
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: gonna line, and that makes it hard to call defenses

221
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: if you you don't know he's in the backfield or

222
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: behind the center or where he is, So that those

223
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: kind of things cause problems. So I would say in

224
00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: just general, Coach Smith has really put together a group

225
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: of players in the offensive skill positions that are are

226
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: versatile and they can they can do a lot of

227
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: different things, and then he formations them around so that

228
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: it makes it extremely hard defensively to to match up

229
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: to him. And um, that's you know, that's that's very challenging. Great,

230
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bill, You're welcome. I see some additions here.

231
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna take some final questions were bust to catch

232
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna alex parts. Hey Bill, I wanted to

233
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: ask you about another one of the Falcons young players,

234
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: AJ Terrell. It seems like he's been very had a

235
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: very good start to the season. What have you noticed

236
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: from him studying him that makes him so effective? Yeah,

237
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Terrell's a very instinctive player. Um. He has a good

238
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: good awareness and a good anticipation for the ball. UM

239
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: does a good job matching routes, and Coach Peas runs

240
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different coverages and coverage to sky is

241
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: um and, so it's some things look the same and

242
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: then they're they're different, um and and they mix it up.

243
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: So from play to play you might get the same thing,

244
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: but you also might get quite a variety from play

245
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: to play that depends on how he wants to play.

246
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: So UM, again, I haven't worked with him, but he

247
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: appears to be a very smart player. Uh and again,

248
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: I think you almost have to be to be in

249
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: Coach P's a system because of the again coverage variations

250
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: that they run. But the disguises and just the way,

251
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, the way he plays. Um, you know, he

252
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: seems like you're very instinctive and and uh and smart player,

253
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: you know. And so they've got um again, several guys

254
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: back there like Duran, who we know, well, who's a

255
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: you know again, a very instinctive player that that sees

256
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the field and can make you know,

257
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: make Justment's back there very quickly. It looks like they

258
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: have a pretty good group back there that that can handle,

259
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of different looks to throw the offense. Well,

260
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: thank you, Yeah, you're well because last question, Mike Reece,

261
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: all right, thanks DC. Um so a bill going back

262
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: to a venue with some great memories for the Patriots.

263
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure you probably haven't put much thought in it,

264
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: but when you go back to a place whereas you know,

265
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: some great things have happened for the team, to allow

266
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: yourself any moments of reflection as you're just sort of

267
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: stepping into the building on that night. Oh yeah, you're right, Mike,

268
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: I really thought about a lot. Um. Yeah, I'm sorry

269
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: to do a better job on the replay than I

270
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: did the last time, but um, you know, it's you know,

271
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: so it's a great place to play. It's a great stadium.

272
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's big and and I know, really

273
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: the biggest thing we need to focus on is just

274
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: obviously a crowd, noise and cadence and so forth and communication,

275
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: but you know, really just our our preparation for the

276
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Falcons and um, you know what we'll need to do

277
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. But um, yeah, maybe once we get in there,

278
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: we'll well we'll take a closer look. Thanks, safe travels.

279
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: We'll see you down there, all right. Thanks Mike,
