11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, guy can get chills a little bit thinking about

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 3: what these two guys.

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 4: Can do in.

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. It's Falcons Audible presented by

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: AT and T year. Guys are back here. That's DJ Shockley,

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: Dave Archer. I'm Derek Rackley here to recap. Unfortunately, if

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Falcons twenty to ten loss on the road to the

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers and gentlemen. We talked about

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: this last week previewing the game. It was another one

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: of those I hate to use the work monumental right,

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: but another opportunity on prime time to kind of put

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: a stamp on the growth of the organization. The offense,

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: the defense, special team, so on and so forth in

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: a primetime setting, and they weren't able to get it done. Arch.

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: I want to start with you because you were our

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: resident on site out there covering the game on the radio,

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: and for the folks that maybe didn't get a chance

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: to watch the entire game, they weren't able to see it,

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: listen to it. Kind of give us your thirty thousand

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: foot view of what you saw in the game and

31
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of where things went wrong for Atlanta.

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that Rack, we expected Chuck. We expected

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 3: a close football game. The forty nine ers are a

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: good football team, so you expected a close, hard fought game,

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: which is what it played out to be. So in

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: those kind of games, you got to win moments of

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: the games, and I thought that Atlanta, when they had

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: opportunities and moments, didn't get it done. Second drive of

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: the game, you go nineteen plays, You got to settle

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: for a field goal. You can't at some point. And

41
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: I know we'll get to this maybe in this podcast.

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: Is that where does Atlanta need to prove the most

43
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: red zone? To me, you're moving the ball twenty to twenty.

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: You're one of five teams in the National Football League

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: that are in the top ten and both passing the

46
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: football and run in the football. Okay, your seventh I

47
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: think sixth or seventh overall in total offense. You're moving

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: the football, but you're twenty eighth and scoring somehow, you

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: got to finish stuff. So to me, those were the moments.

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: The moment at the end of the half where Michael

51
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: makes a mistake and throws the ball away in the pocket,

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: gets the grounding call inside ten seconds, get a ten

53
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: second run off you'll lose you up to try to

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: field goal. Yeah, the fourth and one late in the football.

55
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: So again it's there were moments of the game that

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: the Niners came out on top and you didn't. Then,

57
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: when you're in close games against a good football team,

58
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: if you don't win those moments and they do, generally

59
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 3: you loses the football game.

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's we always you said moments. We

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: always talk about being situationally great football teams, right, and

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot of times the most common situations are third down,

63
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: first down, red zone, back to so on and so forth.

64
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: But to your point, it's also making the right decisions

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: in critical moments right at the end of the half.

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: When getting points may seem like a little bit in

67
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, it's a lot right. Converting

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: on fourth down, converting on third down, all those moments

69
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: are they stack on top of each other to give

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: you confidence when you get into the red zone to

71
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: punch the football into the end zone. And DJ, we

72
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: talked so much about some of the changes defensively, right,

73
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: Fred Warner being out, not having Bosa in the lineup,

74
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: and was that going to create some advantages when you

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: don't have great players out there? But I do remember

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: us talking about Robert Sala being a very respected defensive

77
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: coordinator and he put together a great game plan to

78
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: attack these Falcons and they were able to hold Bejon

79
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Robinson under one hundred total yards. What else did you

80
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: see that kind of stuck out as moments that were missed.

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: I think people forget that obviously you have success. The

82
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 5: week before coaches going to go back, they're gonna watch

83
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 5: that film and say, Okay, I beat by X, Y,

84
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 5: and Z. The previous game versus Bills, Bijon went crazy,

85
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: Drake went crazy. You said, Okay, we come to this

86
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: ball game, we allow those two guys to beat us.

87
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: Guess what we're probably not doing our job as coaches.

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 5: So I think coming to that ball game, they had

89
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 5: a plan for both those guys. For me though, my eyes,

90
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 5: especially for this ball game it went to the trenches.

91
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 5: I thought that we weren't as physical. I thought that

92
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: they kind of they kind of own the game up

93
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: front a little bit, especially in the run game. Obviously

94
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 5: you look up and you know, we ran the ball

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: really well the week before, so you come and you say, okay,

96
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: how do we you know, stop them running football? And

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 5: I thought they did a really good job on early

98
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: down situations of like run blitzes or plugging gaps and

99
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 5: you know, playing on the other sideline of scrimmage or

100
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 5: being the more physical ones at that point in time.

101
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 5: And I think that was a big hindrance on us

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: being able to run the football. And then you try

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 5: some other things. You try to screen game, you try

104
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 5: to you know, get them out, you know, on the perimeter.

105
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: You try to you know, we see putting bijon outside

106
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: and trying to you know, throw it to them on

107
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 5: shlants and stuff like that. We had Kyle out there

108
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 5: a couple of times. He had a big time catch

109
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: on third down. So I think you try to go

110
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 5: outside of some of the things that you know really

111
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 5: are what your staples are. Because they did a really

112
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 5: good job of it. And when they owned a line

113
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: of scrimmage for Jordan's ball game, I'm saying the entire

114
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 5: ball game, but there were moments in the game where

115
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 5: they owned the line of scrimmage and then you look

116
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: up and it's third and seven, it's third and eight

117
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 5: thirty nine, and then they could pin the years and

118
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: come back, or they can play zone, they can keep

119
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: their eyes on Bijon, They can you know, put a

120
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: guy over top of drink. So I thought there were moments,

121
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 5: like Archer just mentioned in the game where up front

122
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 5: you were tested more than I think probably the last

123
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: few ball games, especially when it comes to changing the

124
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, and they did that, especially in their

125
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: run game, and that was a big part of what

126
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 5: we like to do is obviously been able to run

127
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 5: the football.

128
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: I thought that to your point about Robert Salah and

129
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 3: his prowless as a defensive coordinator, we kind of remember

130
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: him as a as the head figurehead in New York

131
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: and that Brick had been running the defense. Well, he

132
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: cut his bread cut you know, cut his teeth on

133
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: playing a defensive coordinator with the forty nine ers. I

134
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 3: thought what he did, guys, was he knew Fred Warner

135
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: wasn't going to play. And you've got a guy that's

136
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: you know what, seven consecutive seasons one hundred and twenty

137
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: tackles or more the leader of that defense. He simplified

138
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: the system defensively, and he said, go go get the football.

139
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: If Bijon touches the ball, go get him. I don't

140
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: want you reading anything Tatum Bethun who had not played

141
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: hardly at all linebacker wise, he had ten tackles in

142
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 3: the game. He was coming downhill de Winners, who hadn't

143
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: played a ton at linebacker, young linebacker at a TCU,

144
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: Go get the football. And so I thought his simplification.

145
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 3: You mentioned run dog. They run dogged Atlanta a great

146
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: deal to try to Putlanta in second and ten, third,

147
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: nine situations.

148
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 4: Did a great job with it.

149
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: We had a little bit of fun on the pregame

150
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: show on Sunday night as we were talking coming on

151
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: the heels of Robinson's great performance against the Bills, right

152
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: and we were talking about him kind of being already

153
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: like where would you put him on the mount rushmore

154
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: of other great running backs that are so and I

155
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: put the Caveat on it that are similar similar to

156
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: his style right in elusiveness and ability to catch the

157
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: ball on the backfield.

158
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: Okay.

159
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: And I kind of threw out some names of Barry

160
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: Sanders because he was like the king of making people

161
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: miss Okay. I put Marshall Falk because he was the

162
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: guy that, to me, showed how running backs catch the

163
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. Also put Ladai and Tomlinson

164
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: in there because I watched him play and the guy

165
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: was electric in both phases of the game. And then

166
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: my fourth one, and here's where I'm going with this point.

167
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: My fourth one was Christian McCaffrey because I think people

168
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: quickly want to forget he had a couple of injuries

169
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: that cut short seasons and everything they forget like what

170
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: he's been able to do in this league and how

171
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: good he is. Couple that arch and I'm going to

172
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: come to you with this. My number one key to

173
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 1: the game, okay, was McCaffrey can't dominate. It was three words, okay,

174
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: because we were talking and even the Sun Night Football

175
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: crew so much, right, use that for podcast Right Sun,

176
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: the Night Football crew was talking so much about the

177
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: connection between Robinson and McAffrey working out in the off season,

178
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: similar styles, so on and so forth. Right, and then

179
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: you look up because I said, as long as McCaffrey

180
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: had like he's so good, he's gonna get his like.

181
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: If he finishes the game with one hundred yards and

182
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown, you can live with that. Okay, but here's

183
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: the numbers. Robinson twenty touches, ninety two yards, touchdown, okay,

184
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: McCaffrey thirty one touches, two hundred one yards, two touchdowns.

185
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Arch to me, that was a problem.

186
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 3: Okay, let me, let me, let me show. Here's my keys.

187
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: I wrote down before the game. Limit the McCaffrey factor. Yeah,

188
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: and you, like you said, you're not going to stop

189
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey. They're going to give him a number of

190
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: opportunities to touch the football in a myriad of ways,

191
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: but limit what he can do in the game. He

192
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: dominated the game, and give, as Shaq said, give their offense.

193
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: He've lone a ton of credit. At some point, you

194
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: know McCaffrey's coming, go stop him, and Atlanta had no answers,

195
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: So give their interior offensive line a ton of credit

196
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: because a lot of this was done interior. There wasn't

197
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: a lot of perimeter stuff. They got a couple perimeter plays.

198
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: They got him out of the backfield. I thought the

199
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: Divine Diablo injury affected them in the dump pass game.

200
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 3: I think he would have seven receptions in the game

201
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: for seventy yards or something like that. I thought that

202
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: affected Atlanta a great deal in when they wanted to

203
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: getting the ball in space and let him catch the football.

204
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: So I couldn't agree with you more. When you start

205
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: talking about it, and we're going to see a guy

206
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: this weekend, I know we're going to get to the

207
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: Dolphins and Devon h Chan. That is a very similar player,

208
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: great speed, can run. As you begin to think about

209
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: running backs like Jean Robinson, I mean, we saw what

210
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: Jamiir Gibbs did on Monday night, right, I mean just

211
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: a similar player, right that Devon Chan is a very

212
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: similar player. So we're starting to see more guys like that,

213
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: a Christian McCaffrey type player. But that was the number one.

214
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 5: Was the number one, And you think about it around

215
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 5: the league, a lot of people looking for guys for

216
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 5: a long time it was like, all right, can we

217
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 5: get a quarterback that's mobile, that can move around and

218
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: that hurts you. That's still a big trend right now. Now,

219
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 5: think about a guy in our division who we've talked

220
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 5: about a lot throughout over.

221
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: The years, in an Albu Kamaro.

222
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of people looking for guys who can

223
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 5: be really versatile, and that's what we're seeing. Guys who

224
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: can do that, who can hurt you. And I just say,

225
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 5: all right, let's turn around and hand it to a

226
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 5: guy and he can get you four or five six yards.

227
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 5: Now you got guys who can do that plus this,

228
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 5: plus that, and that makes it even more dangerous to.

229
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: Have the cover a guy like that.

230
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Well, and I would say even like, like, look at

231
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: a team like the Chiefs, right, and Isaiah Pacheco is

232
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: nowhere near the true running back that some of these

233
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: guys are.

234
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: But what does he think?

235
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: He is a matchup nightmare. He's so quick coming out

236
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: of the backfield. And that's the reason why certain pieces

237
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: fit in certain offenses even if they weren't a dominant

238
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: college player. But to your point, like the Kamaras, the McCaffrey's,

239
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: the Robinsons of the world, they continue to find their

240
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: places on different NFL teams. Guys, I always go back

241
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: to this because I have the show with two quarterbacks

242
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: on it, and shot, I'm gonna go with you. Let's

243
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Michael Pennix. Because three losses

244
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: this year and two of the three games he's been

245
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: fifty five percent or less in his completion rate. What

246
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: are you seeing from the quarterback or maybe it's something

247
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: else to where they can get more consistency and get

248
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: more out of Michael from the quarterback position.

249
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: The tough part about this is, obviously was his knife start.

250
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 5: He's starting to see things every week that's going to

251
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 5: be a little bit different.

252
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 4: And I think what people.

253
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 5: Fail to realize is defenses teams, they're gonna do a

254
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 5: lot of different things to show you stuff and say, Okay,

255
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: what can this guy handle? What is he really good at?

256
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 5: What are some of the things that makes him really

257
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 5: click and really go? So I think going into his

258
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: knife start, he's done some good. He does some things

259
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 5: to work on, but there's also things around him I

260
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 5: think that could be better. We talked about the run

261
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 5: game being a big part of it, having guys who

262
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 5: could change a lot of storms.

263
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: But for for Pinnix.

264
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 5: I think it just comes down to him having the

265
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 5: reps in these games. And I remember going back to

266
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: my rookie second year urs, you can probably do the

267
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: same thing. Stuff happens so fast and things are moving,

268
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 5: and you talk about coverages that are gonna change every week.

269
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 5: Looks you're gonna see that's gonna be different. You coming

270
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 5: to this ballgame playing more man coverage. Guys got to

271
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 5: win on the outside, trusting it. He's still learning how

272
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 5: to play in this National Football League and learning the

273
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: things that he can get away with and learn some

274
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: of the things that can help him. It's tough to say,

275
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 5: all right, this guy should be doing this X, Y

276
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: and Z right now, because obviously you look around the

277
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 5: league you say, okay, here are the guys who played

278
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 5: really well to start their careers as rookies or second

279
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 5: year guys. And we're seeing much of those second year

280
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 5: guys right now around the league in that same draft

281
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 5: class starting to take the next step. So you're like,

282
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 5: all right, can Bike do that? And we've seen him

283
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 5: do that in a couple of select ball games. So

284
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: I think it just comes down to him playing more,

285
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 5: seeing things a little bit more because teams are gonna

286
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 5: come in and say, all right, we're gonna play a

287
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 5: certain coverage, certain defense, and we're gonna bring certain blisses

288
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: that you haven't seen. And now he's learning in game

289
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 5: how to deal with all this stuff. So I think

290
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: it's just gonna take a little bit more time. And

291
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 5: people want it right now. I understand that. But in

292
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 5: this league, those dudes over there are super smart. Those

293
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 5: dudes are super good, they're athletic. They're going to get

294
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 5: their due as well. But you gotta find ways to

295
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: give him some some easy outs to as well.

296
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna ask you this question, and I

297
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: want to see how you come back with this because

298
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I always struggle, and I've said this many times on

299
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: our podcast before of what I would call is making

300
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: excuses like can like how long can you make excuses? Rationalize, justify? Okay,

301
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you two examples. Okay, C J.

302
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Strouds in his third year, he's having not a very

303
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: good year, but you go back to us rookie year

304
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: and he was fantastic. He's rookie year when you speak

305
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: about rookie quarterbacks. Okay, So that kind of dispels the

306
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: rumor about rookies coming in and having some success, although

307
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: we've seen many times when rookies come in and they struggle.

308
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about another quarterback in Drake May,

309
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: who did get experienced last year as a rookie as

310
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: a starter, came in the same draft class as Michael Pennix.

311
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: But he's got twelve touchdown passes this year and the

312
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Patriots have a five and two record. I think a

313
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: lot of people would not have thought New England would

314
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: be where they are right now. So my answer to

315
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: you is are my question to you Arches, do we

316
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: end up giving him so much rope because he's learning

317
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: along the way, or with a first round pick, are

318
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: you expecting more?

319
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: I think it's both. I think it's both, right. I mean,

320
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: you have to expect more because it's because he's your

321
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: first round draft pick. He's supposed to be the next

322
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: guy you know, and you figure you think about the

323
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: guys down through the years that have played quarterback that

324
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: were drafted as high as similar to as high as he.

325
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 3: Steve Bartkowski became arguably the one of the franchise's best players.

326
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan, who probably is the best player, Michael Vick,

327
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: who was a guy that changed the dynamic of playing

328
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: quarterback in the National Football League, not just here in

329
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: Atlanta and the expect So you've got guys that are

330
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: on that wall, the pictures on that that's what you're

331
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: supposed to be like. Now, how quickly did those guys

332
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: get to that moment? You can go down through what

333
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: did Josh Allen do in his first sixteen games of

334
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: his career? Then you start comparing him to Jayden Daniels

335
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: last year, Jayden had a really good season. You know,

336
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: you go back and look at John Elway or Joe Montana,

337
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: some of the venerable ones that have played in this game.

338
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: You're going to get mixed pieces where guys played really

339
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: well early, maybe a couple of games, and then had

340
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: a drop off. That's part of what Ross Shaq was

341
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: talking about about seeing all the different things that you're

342
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: going to get thrown at you. So I think that

343
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: as far as you start talking about giving him room

344
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: to you got to be patient. You got to be

345
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: patient with the guy. Now, I know the public's not

346
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: going to be patient, but I think the organization will

347
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: that he's going to learn some things. You know, for instance,

348
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: the play that probably is the most glaring mistake that

349
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: Mike made in this last game was probably the play

350
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: the last play of the half we've discussed where at

351
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: Washington he's probably bounces out of the pocket, gets beyond

352
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: the tackle box and throws it away. It's nothing, but

353
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: here in the National Football League, they're going to let

354
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: you get away with that, you know, And so you've

355
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 3: got a good rusher gets upfield, takes that away and

356
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: now he still knows I got to get rid of

357
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: the ball.

358
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I got to get it out.

359
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: So his mind's thinking I can't take a sack. Well,

360
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: he's not looking at the clock. He didn't realize it's

361
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: under ten seconds. So those are those moments we talk

362
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: about moments right off the start that he's continuing to learn.

363
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: Shock talked about that as well. There's going to be

364
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: things that he just hasn't experience that sometimes you got

365
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: to hit in the face before you learn from learn

366
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: from those mistakes.

367
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: It's a great Actually, I want to come back to

368
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: you guys because you guys played the position right and

369
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris and everybody has talked about in order to

370
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: have success at the National Football League, level. As a quarterback,

371
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: you have to be an elite processor. But to me

372
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: arch what you're talking about as I think about this,

373
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: and again, the average fan doesn't think about how quickly

374
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: this stuff happens for you guys, right, And it's a

375
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: different era where coaches are able to say a little

376
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: bit more in the helmet, the headset with the two

377
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: way commune or the single way communication if you will.

378
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: So do you guys think about that in the situation

379
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: like I have to be aware of where the play

380
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: clock is because of a potential runoff and grounding, Like

381
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: can you get that far into your thought process before

382
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: each and every snap? I'll start with you shocked to

383
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: think about it at the end of the half. Yes,

384
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: I got to get rid of the football. I can't

385
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: ground it. But if I do get rid of it,

386
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: it's got to be with ten seconds or more on

387
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: the clock. Can you think that far ahead?

388
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely well?

389
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 3: And you got to remember what was the playcl or

390
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: was the play clock? Was it like twenty one seconds

391
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: or was it seventeen seconds or something like that? So

392
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 3: how long you have to absorb how much how long

393
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: the play is going. That's a lot in my opinion,

394
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: I think you have it in your mind that you

395
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: can't ground the ball from the pocket, right, but knowing where.

396
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: The clock is.

397
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, but again that's the part that that's hard, Like, yeah,

398
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 5: you know you can't do it, but you don't think

399
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: when the ball snapped at seventeen to eighteen seconds that, okay,

400
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: I'm dropping back three four yards.

401
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: This is taking six seven seconds.

402
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: There's no way to think about it.

403
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 3: You just called the play of processing. You play like

404
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: you're talking about where are my guys, where's my shot now? Okay, now,

405
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: where's the safe throwaway? And all those Oh yeah, the clock.

406
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: Is at nine seconds.

407
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: That's a really that's a really difficult one. And then

408
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: you talked about the communicate in the helmet. How much

409
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: is what is Zach telling him in the helmet? A

410
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: lot of times shock. I remember being a piece of

411
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: this when they first developed the sound in the helmet

412
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: where you'd get a reminder and it might be a

413
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: red zone blitz reminder, it might be you know, you

414
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 3: got the play call that eats up some of the time,

415
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: and then you get don't forget the play clock or

416
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: don't forget yeah, I mean, yeah, one time, there's a

417
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 3: lot you don't want And again we're talking about a

418
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: guy that's in his ninth game, So how much do

419
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 3: you want to put on his plate? So I just

420
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: think this was a learning experience for him. I don't

421
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: think Michael will ever do this again.

422
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 5: And the other part about it is all the things

423
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 5: that our just mentioned, there's also the first thing you

424
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: thought about in those situations is you can't take a sack. Yeah,

425
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: that'll kill you every single time.

426
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: That's one of the first things you're taught.

427
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 5: When the first thing you get told you can't take

428
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 5: a sack. We already got we're in position for a

429
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 5: field goal. Let's not do anything to hurt ourselves. So

430
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 5: in your brain you're like, it comes this three hundred pounds, dude,

431
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 5: trying to take my head off. Don't take a sack,

432
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 5: don't get rid of the football. That's what you're thinking about.

433
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 5: And in your brain, I'm saving my team. I'm doing

434
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 5: what's right. In that moment, you're not thinking about it's

435
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 5: you know, under ten seconds and it happens like you

436
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: know that obviously you can't have that in the game,

437
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 5: But in that moment, it's all about the things that

438
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 5: you learn from day one of getting red of the

439
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 5: football to give himself a chance to get well.

440
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: And then if you're the this is the other piece

441
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: of it. The coordinator now has to think for the

442
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: quarterback some as well. You got to build in maybe

443
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: that outlet for him that you might not in week

444
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 3: in year four or year three. I know he's good.

445
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks got.

446
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 4: It, he had it. We're good.

447
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 3: But here in game nine of his career, maybe I

448
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: need to build in a guy in the flat that

449
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: he can airmail it over his head. But it still

450
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: looks like he's stolen it in his direct I don't

451
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: you know. That's that's a tough one to think.

452
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: About it absolutely well. As we talked a little bit

453
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: about Pennix twenty one to thirty eighties, fifty and forty

454
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: one yards, one touchdown, no picks. Somewhat concerning to me

455
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: fellas five touchdown passes this year, three interceptions, five touchdowns.

456
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: I think is the only cam Ward and Justin fields

457
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: as every day starters, okay, have less touchdown passes than

458
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix. It's an area where this offense has to improve.

459
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: And here's what we know after the Carolina game. He

460
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: took a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, and the

461
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: next two games he played much better. So you wonder

462
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: if does he take the same responsibility and he's he'd

463
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: come back a much better quarterback because of that, and

464
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: because of all the things that he's learning with each

465
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: and every start, with all the reps that he's seeing.

466
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: So we'll see if Michael, And what's interesting about that racket,

467
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 3: it's a really good point. How much is he absorbing?

468
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 3: And I know you and I are looking at and saying,

469
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: I see things that he's doing every week that are

470
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: better than the year week before. Let's just go back

471
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: to the Buffalo game. Okay, you're driving for that field

472
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: goal that's going to probably seal it for you. You'd

473
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: like to score a touchdown, call a pass play late

474
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 3: in the football game. Drake's running a slant route from

475
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: the slot left. He eyeballs him, Shack Thompson jumps it.

476
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: Should have picked it off. Okay, yep, didn't pick it off.

477
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: He missed it, got away with it. We kicked the

478
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: field goal, win the football game. This very same scenario, line,

479
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 3: he's got Pits in the slot left. Pitts runs that

480
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: slant route against the similar coverage They got a backer

481
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 3: sitting in the middle, what's Pennis do? Cranes his head right,

482
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: pulls the backer out of the middle of the field,

483
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 3: and throws it to Pitts for a twelve yard game.

484
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: To me, that's when you begin if you want to

485
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 3: evaluate development of the quarterback. That's the kind of stuff

486
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: you got to be looking for. Not this superficial stuff

487
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 3: that a lot of people, people that maybe don't study

488
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 3: the game look for. Those are things that he's growing with.

489
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 4: Where is his eye? Where are his eyes?

490
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: How can I manipulate the defense? That's that's a step

491
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 3: in the great in the right direction. I thought that

492
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 3: was a that was pretty cool to see that this

493
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: last week.

494
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: All Right, so guys, let's talk about some adjustments and

495
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: how that ends up faring for the next opponent. Okay,

496
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: as the Miami Dolphins come to town, and you got

497
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: a Miami Dolphins team that's coming here that's struggling. They're

498
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: one and six on the season. They have three losses,

499
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: by the way, that we're by twenty five points, ten points,

500
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: and twenty five points. Okay, so on average of twenty

501
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: points per game, and they also have three losses that

502
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: were one score games. There's been a lot of discussion

503
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: nationally or if you want to call it down in

504
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: South Florida about the quarterback position to a tongue of

505
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Ilois facing some heat, that he is throwing a lot

506
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: of interceptions this year, and Mike Daniel has said that

507
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: he's going to get the reps and he's going to

508
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: start this week, and that his quote expectation is that

509
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: we are not going to throw ten picks. If you

510
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: know Michael Dano, he's got a little bit of interestingness too.

511
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 3: If you will, that's an understandble.

512
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: So guys, let's start with the quarterbacks, because you guys

513
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: are quarterback and to a tongue ill he's obviously dealing

514
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: with some heat right now because of the interceptions. We

515
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: know in this organizations that Kirk does Cousins dealt with

516
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: the same thing last year. What kind of pressure does

517
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: that put on the quarterback? DJ and yes, you have

518
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: to play with quarter pressure at that position. How much

519
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: do you listen to it? How much do you completely

520
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: put it aside?

521
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 4: I think you hear it.

522
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 5: It's a day and age where you can't just like

523
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 5: totally not hear it. I think it's a situation where

524
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 5: he's in a position where obviously things are going on

525
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 5: internal and it's starting to seep over into the game.

526
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 5: It's starting to seep over into his play, and I

527
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: think he wants to play so well obviously, but the

528
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 5: performance is not there. I think he's starting to force

529
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 5: these a little bit more. I think he started to

530
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 5: throw it in the covers. I think he's you.

531
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: Know, it's footwork's not all the way there. You see some.

532
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 5: Things in game where you know he's drifting a little

533
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 5: bit more. Maybe he's supposed to take a three step

534
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 5: drop and he kind of shifts into a four or five,

535
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 5: and he's moving a little bit closer, and he's you know,

536
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 5: forcing the football. And then obviously when you're defending comments

537
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 5: that you have during the week, it affects from you

538
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: taking away from your preparation, I believe, and I think

539
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 5: that's part of it as well as he's not also

540
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 5: you know, fighting himself. He's fighting, you know, trying to

541
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: be something for his teammates as well. That maybe you

542
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 5: a little side eye, and it's part of the job.

543
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 5: Is if you said something to the media, which is

544
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: probably the worst thing you can do as a quarterback

545
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 5: and talk about things that are happening internal.

546
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: It affects performance once you get on.

547
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 5: The practice field, you get in the games games, maybe

548
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 5: guys are not going as hard guys and not going

549
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 5: into that that third window or second window as hard

550
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 5: as they would for you if you know things are

551
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 5: going the right way. So it's hard to say how

552
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 5: he goes about trying to get out of this little

553
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 5: slump he's in without you know, fully knowing what's going

554
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 5: going on within their offense. But we've seen to a

555
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 5: play really good football. We've seen to you know, be

556
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 5: one of those guys that can throw it all over

557
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 5: the yard and make plays and be really efficient with

558
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 5: the football.

559
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: And I think over the.

560
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 5: Last few weeks he's tried to do so much to

561
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: try to help his team that he's kind of hurt

562
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 5: his team throwing the football, and it's it's been something

563
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 5: that's hurt his team. And obviously the last three losses

564
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 5: haven't been good for him, and you know, it's it's

565
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 5: unfortunate that you have to go through that as a

566
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 5: quarterback when this this position already asked so much of you,

567
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 5: and then you have to deal with some of the

568
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 5: stuff that you create on your own. But you gotta

569
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 5: find a way to do it because that's the job.

570
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 5: Nobody's gonna cry for you, and you know he's making

571
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 5: all that money. Some people say, hey, shut up and

572
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 5: go play ball.

573
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: Arch in your mind for the Falcons going into this matchup,

574
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: do you think more about like the challenges presented by

575
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 1: a guy like Devon a Chan. Do you think more about,

576
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: well two is throwing the ball around, We're gonna have

577
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: some opportunities. Or do you go into this thinking more

578
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: about this is a game that we should win because

579
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: this is a reeling organization right now. What kind of

580
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: weighs more on your mind?

581
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: I think you've got to block all of that. The

582
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: latter part that you talked about rack out. If you

583
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: go in thinking, hey, they're struggling, we need to feed,

584
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 3: forget about all that. What it's got to boil down

585
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: to is how well can you execute on both sides

586
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 3: of the football and challenge yourself to play your best

587
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 3: game regardless of what the other team's helmet looks like. Okay,

588
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: so I need to go because you look at the

589
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: numbers and their twenty seventh in total offense, their twenty seventh,

590
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: twenty sixth in total defense. They're last defending the run game.

591
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: They're twenty ninth and twenty seventh in throwing the football

592
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 3: and running the football. All those numbers would lead you

593
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: to believe what we've been talking about. This is a

594
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: struggling organization. I don't think you can look at any

595
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: of that. I think it's got to be a faceless,

596
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: nameless opponent and your opponents yourself. How good can you be?

597
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: How much more consistent can you be on the offensive,

598
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: the decensy side of the football. You can that when

599
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: Miami puts the tape on and they see how well

600
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 3: McCaffrey ran between the tackles, you're gonna get a dose

601
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 3: of e chan coming downhill.

602
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 4: Okay, this is.

603
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: A little tiny offense. When I see little tiny offense,

604
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: there's a bunch of little tiny guys on this through

605
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: five seven, five, eight, five nine, and they can all fly,

606
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 3: they can all run, so they're going to try to

607
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: I would assume that if you got a quarterback struggling,

608
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: which he has to a tongue of Alwa six interceptions

609
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: the last two weeks, I want to get the ball

610
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 3: to guys in space. They have guys to do that with,

611
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 3: whether it's Waddle or whether it's Washington. They got two

612
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: of them ToJ Washington League Washing. Both of them can

613
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 3: run eight chan can run. Get them the football, but

614
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: they're going to give it. Give you a SETI diet

615
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 3: of coming downhill and run the football and when you

616
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 3: flip it on the other side, shock. You Look at

617
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: what Robert Salad did, very simple. Sala was not a

618
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 3: man coverage defender. They wanted to play simulated pressures, play

619
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: matchup zone behind it. They said, forget that. I got

620
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: two young linebackers. I think they I don't think they

621
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: have enough guys that can beat us in space on

622
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: the perimeter. So we're gonna come after them, run dog

623
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: to through the run to the passer, and we're gonna

624
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: play man coverage on the outside. And they took away

625
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 3: some of the opportunities the quick, easy throws and limited

626
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: what Atlanta was able to do. I think you're gonna

627
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: get it. You're gonna get a copycat scenario that Miami's

628
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: looking for anything to grasp onto to win the football game.

629
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 4: So you throw all that out. What did we do

630
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 4: horribly last week?

631
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 3: Let's fix that and let's get after people and forget

632
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: about who the number or the name is on the jersey.

633
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 5: Right when you brought up your question and then Art

634
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 5: when you answered about just making it a faceless, nameless

635
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 5: team over there, this came to mind for me, and

636
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 5: I was thinking about you being in this situation if

637
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 5: you're the Dolphins and you're the Falcons. To make it

638
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 5: a nameless team makes it You have to have that

639
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 5: because I feel like that forces you to focus on

640
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 5: things that you have to get better at, for one,

641
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 5: and then on the other side of it, you look

642
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 5: at some of the things that they've done over the

643
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: past few weeks. But then I say, Okay, if I'm

644
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 5: the Dolphins and I come in here and I have

645
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 5: some good things go my way early, I play well,

646
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 5: I do some really good things early in the ball game,

647
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 5: maybe it takes away from all this stuff that's been happening,

648
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 5: and then you start gaining confidence. And then now you're like, oh,

649
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 5: this is a totally different team than one and six

650
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: than we thought coming in here. So I think, if

651
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 5: you make it a nameless, faceless team and we focus

652
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: on us and make sure we don't we supposed to

653
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 5: guess what all, that doesn't matter. And I was looking

654
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 5: up some of the numbers for the last few ball games.

655
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 5: When Arts was talking about it. You look at the

656
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 5: Panthers game they rushed for nineteen yards. We talked about

657
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 5: situations and moments in the game. For the Panthers rushed

658
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 5: for nineteen yards and gave up two hundred and thirty

659
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 5: nine yards rushing in that game vers the Browns they

660
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 5: were one for thirteen or third down. We talked about

661
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 5: the game, the moments in the game that matter, and

662
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 5: four turn we want the Chargers they give up one

663
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 5: hundred and forty rushout. You're talking about big moment in

664
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 5: games that matter, that change how the outcome a game

665
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: comes about. I think it's a big deal. So coming

666
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 5: down to making it a nameless faces team and focus

667
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 5: on the things that hurts you in the previous games,

668
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 5: I think matters a little bit more than worrying about

669
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 5: who's that opponent or the other side. Because you start

670
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: focusing so much on what they do, it takes away

671
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 5: from the things that you have to do better to

672
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 5: get ready for that ball game.

673
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: And you guys experience, Rack, I'll ask you this when

674
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: you've got a young team.

675
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: We've got a young.

676
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 3: Group of guys, especially your playmaking type player, especially on

677
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: the offensive side of the football. Does this game become

678
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: more difficult to prepare for mentally because of what you

679
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: just talked about, all the things that are going on

680
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: in South Florida and all the things they're dealing with,

681
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: and you just came off to really good, really tough

682
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: team two games against teams that are supposed to be

683
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: competing for it all. How much is does that make

684
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: it more difficult to prepare to get ready for this one?

685
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because to your point, like I think,

686
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: this has to go back to think about what do

687
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: we do really well? What is Atlanta do really well?

688
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 4: Right?

689
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: It's getting beyond in space, it's finding touches for Drake

690
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts in the passing game, and it's leaning

691
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: on this running on this offensive line to run the football. Okay,

692
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: if you get back to those things that they're really

693
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: good at and allow these guys to play fast, to

694
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: play confident, to play worry free, you don't think about

695
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: what's going on over there, because obviously two of throwing

696
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: interceptions has nothing to do with Michael Pennox, John Robinson

697
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts, has nothing to do with them they're

698
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: not facing each other. Right Now, that's for the defense.

699
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons defense can go out there and try to

700
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: take the ball away, but they have to think about

701
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: how do we execute better offensively?

702
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 4: Right.

703
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: I wrote down two words for this week is scheme

704
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: and execution.

705
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 4: Right.

706
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: You got to find the right plays that are going

707
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: to put your players in position to win. And then

708
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: once you're there, you got to make the throw, and

709
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: you got to make the catch. You got to make

710
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: the block, and you got to make the cut whatever

711
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,239
Speaker 1: that is.

712
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: Right.

713
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: So it's two things to me that are really simple.

714
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: It's you have the right scheme and do you execute

715
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: that scheme? So this is to me just focusing on

716
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: the guys, like, hey, this is going to be the

717
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: game plan. Now we got to go out and execute it.

718
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: Take all the reps, all the experience that you've seen

719
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season, and then react and

720
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: go play fast.

721
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: You don't.

722
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 5: For me, I asked the question, you should not even

723
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 5: have the mindset of being in what that team looks

724
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 5: like because you already had one this year.

725
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've already had a stinger this year.

726
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you walked not saying they did this, but

727
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 5: I'm saying you walked into a game where a team

728
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 5: was having issues, hadn't won a game, hadn't played well,

729
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 5: and you didn't play your beast ball game. So coming

730
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: into this game, you already had that issue. You already

731
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 5: had that, So there's no reason you should even have

732
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 5: the mindset of.

733
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: Oh, they're just one and six. Yeah, that shouldn't matter.

734
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 5: Exact the way they play shouldnt matter, because you've already

735
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 5: got into a situation where you had something like that

736
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 5: and you had to reevaluate a lot of things the

737
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 5: next week.

738
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: Well, and this might be even more of a litmus

739
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 3: test for where this team is mentally culturally, if you

740
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: want to, then maybe even the Buffalo and the forty

741
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: nine Er game, you knew that, Hey Buffalo's good. Hey

742
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: you knew the forty nine ers are good. I mean,

743
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: if you go to your college mindset and you're Georgia

744
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, here comes North Texas State,

745
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: You're thinking, oh, okay, well, our third guys are gonna

746
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: be playing by the third quarter. That's not the way

747
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: it is in this league. And I'm not suggesting that

748
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: our guys still have that college mindset, but you did

749
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: just come off of two primetime games. One you did

750
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: a good job, one you didn't, and here comes a

751
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 3: Miami team that's struggling. If you're looking at the new

752
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: to you guys's points, if you're paying any attention outside

753
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: your own building, you're doing yourself a disservice. This might

754
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: be even more of a litmus test for this team

755
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: and where they are.

756
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, that team is built with pros too. And

757
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: guess what they're thinking in South Florida. Yeah, we're desperate

758
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: for a win. Yeah, that's exactly what they're thinking about. Like,

759
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: we're desperate for a win.

760
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: This week, we got to lose.

761
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 4: Let's go play buch like.

762
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: This Atlanta Falcons organization saying we got to go win

763
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: this game. A couple of things that came to my

764
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: mind in this one. I want to I want to

765
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: talk about our three word key to the game and

766
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: give you guys a little second to think about that

767
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: is I'll go, I'll start, and this isn't going to

768
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: be our key to the game. But you got to

769
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: use three words. You gave me a compliment earlier about

770
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: three words. This is a different game, okay, But for

771
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: for my key three words for this game is going

772
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: to be take the rock. And I am going to

773
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: say that that because they've been struggling in the turnover department.

774
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Go get the ball, like, go get the ball. Miami

775
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: comes in here minus six in the turnover margin. They're

776
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: thirtieth in the NFL. Make it worse, right, make it

777
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: hurt a little bit. And there's so much talk about Okay,

778
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: well Billy Bowman's out and Jalen Walker's out, and we

779
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: don't know what the status is with a couple of

780
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: other players. Here's what I'll say. In the National Football League,

781
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: and you can look around the league. You can look

782
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: at San Francisco last week, they were beat up, they

783
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: played well. You can look at the other game on

784
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: Monday night, the Droy Lions. They're all beat up in

785
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: the second ear. How are they going to compete in

786
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: that game against Baker Mayfield. Well, they forgot. They got

787
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: some pretty good dudes on the offensive side of the ball.

788
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: The NFL is all about who's the next guys that

789
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: step up?

790
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: Right?

791
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: Who knows who is not going to play for Atlanta

792
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: Falcons in this game. It doesn't matter. But if you're

793
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: on defense, go out there and take the rock. Shock.

794
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: You're up three.

795
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: Words rock, What do you got? I gotta win the routine?

796
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: When the routine Okay, you gotta explain that one a

797
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: little bit more.

798
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: I love what you can choose. That means it's not

799
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: as simple as you think.

800
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 5: There's always depth. Come on, I'm a deep guy. I'm

801
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 5: a deep guy. But uh, you think about some of

802
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 5: the things that happened last ball game. You said the

803
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 5: two words you win, there was execution to execute. You

804
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 5: gotta do the routine things to win ball games. You

805
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 5: gotta block, you gotta tackle, you gotta be more physical.

806
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 5: You got to make sure, hey, if you supposed to

807
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 5: be in a proper dep you get there. If you're

808
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 5: supposed to be in this gap, win the routine. We

809
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 5: mentioned about what's going on on their side of the

810
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 5: ball and all the stuff that going on. If you

811
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 5: do the routines. I think this team is talented enough

812
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 5: that if they do do routine things well, they can

813
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 5: win a bunch of ball games.

814
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: I got I got it, by the way, it's the

815
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: little things. Do the little things's but.

816
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 3: He changed he changed the words too. A lot of

817
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 3: people don't use routine. That's a good calls.

818
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: Next that's the next level right there.

819
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: I appreciate that next level.

820
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: I like that put.

821
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 3: Yourself down for three dollars. That was pretty good, even

822
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: though we're not we're not supposed to do in.

823
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 4: That kind of stuff.

824
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: All right, okay, all right, So I was still about

825
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 3: trying to get a little catchy, you know, go get

826
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: you some No, no, no, that was kind of more

827
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 3: like what you said all about us.

828
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

829
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: I thought that that kind of capsuled everything that all

830
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 3: the three of us have been saying. I like that is,

831
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 3: you know, the fuhole nameless faceless opponent. There's another one,

832
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: but it is. It's about what you can internalize, what

833
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: you think you can do better yourself, and then go

834
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 3: get it done. Offensive lineman. Nothing hurts an offense. We

835
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: talked about this after the UH after the Tampa game.

836
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: Remember the Tampa game where there was a conversation about

837
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: how the offensive line got pushed around physically. You knew

838
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: they would answer the call because that's who Dwayne Ledford

839
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 3: is their offensive line coach. That's who Jake Matthews is.

840
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 3: And they did. They rallied and you put it on

841
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 3: the put it on the vikings. This is another one

842
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: of those where I feel like that if you go

843
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: back and look at the tape, not only is the

844
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 3: offensive line not gonna look what they saw that, I

845
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: don't think a defensive line likes what they saw either.

846
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 3: And there was conversation about how they got pushed around

847
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: physically in this game. I would expect those guys to

848
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 3: rally up so and and it's about them coming together

849
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 3: as that unit and re and doubling down again and

850
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: go and find themselves. So all about us like it

851
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 3: wasn't It wasn't quite as deep as.

852
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: All right, there we go, just when the routine, all

853
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: about us? Take the rock?

854
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 4: Go ahead?

855
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 3: Arch.

856
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: You don't got name, like, have you ever met Lance before?

857
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 4: Lance? You just met a guy named Lance Alworth? No, No,

858
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 4: just Lance, Lance.

859
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: I don't know who you're talking about. L One.

860
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 5: There's a tight end back in two thousand and one

861
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 5: who caught a pass. It was a touchdown versus of

862
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 5: Miami Dolphins.

863
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: Lance and the guy he sits right next to.

864
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 4: You, Lance, where is he going with? Yes?

865
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 3: Okay, So the backstory is we got we got a question,

866
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 3: had had any of us caught a touchdown pass? And

867
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: of course Shock and I aren't normally going out on,

868
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 3: so we're kind of normally throwing it. But this guy

869
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 3: over here did go out for passes and did it

870
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 3: at Minnesota, which he doesn't.

871
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: Care about, doesn't care anything about.

872
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 3: The buddy played tight end here as well as being

873
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 3: one of the great deeps snappers in LEAG during his time.

874
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 3: Tell us about the touchdown.

875
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 4: One touchdown come on.

876
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: So it was actually in South Florida. Wasn't here at home,

877
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: but this was Michael Vick's I believe it was his

878
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: second year because people thought originally that I caught his

879
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: very first touchdowns, but that was not true. I caught

880
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: a second. But I early on in my career I

881
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: played in short yardage, goal line situations. If needed right,

882
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: we got somebody banged up or something, I would be

883
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: that third tight end. And so when we played in

884
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: like we had twenty three personnel right, two backs, three

885
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: tight ends, I would come in and so we had

886
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: that situation. I can't remember who was banged up that game.

887
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: It might have been Reggie Kelly, I can't remember. It

888
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: might have been Koslowski. Anyway, so I came in and

889
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: we were down on the goal line and we were

890
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: in twenty three personnel rewind a little bit. We ran

891
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: it earlier in the game and I went to the

892
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: backside right, and so we were trying to scheme it

893
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: up to where Algae Crumpler would come across the formation.

894
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: He would be there. That would how dare I mean

895
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl tight end right? So I don't know why.

896
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 1: The next time we get down in twenty three personnel,

897
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: I had the bright ideas I went up to crump

898
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: right when we came on the field and I was like, dude,

899
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: they're not going to be expecting me. Let's switch. I

900
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: don't know why. I thought I'd a better idea than

901
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: the Dan Reeves in that situation. So we did it.

902
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: So we flip sides and it was just kind of

903
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: like one of those three different layer crossing patterns, right,

904
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: And so I end up coming off the ball and

905
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to be the mid guy going to the

906
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: left side of the formation, right, so going towards the

907
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: direction Michael Vick is going to roll as a left

908
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: handed quarterback. Well, I ended up getting knocked down at

909
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, I believe by Jason Taylor, which

910
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. By the way, he's a pretty

911
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: good player, but.

912
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 4: I'm really good for your quarterback. But go ahead.

913
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: No, And but Mike was pretty good at extending plays.

914
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: Would we all agree with.

915
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 4: That he got you?

916
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: He got there art.

917
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: So I get up and I fight across the formation

918
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: and I end up finding a seam and I was like,

919
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm open, and I'm thinking all of

920
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: this in slow motion, and then I've seen Mike throw

921
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: me the football, and I think I was also thinking.

922
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 4: Do drop it?

923
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: So I end up and I catch the ball right

924
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: kind of like by the back pylon, and I end

925
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: up kind of running into hand catch. It was a

926
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: hands catch, no gloves, nothing right, all natural. And this

927
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: is kind of the funniest part of this is I'm

928
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: going back to remember I can't just go celebrate like

929
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: I got to snap the extra point. I'm the team's

930
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: long snapper. So two things. I'm looking for somebody to

931
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: give the football to to take it back to the sideline, right.

932
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to keep the football. Is my first NFL

933
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: touchdown ended up being my only NFL touchdown. And after

934
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 1: I passed the ball to Algae to go to the sideline,

935
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: Zach Thomas comes up to me, Okay, the long time

936
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: my Dolphins linebacker, and he goes, where the did you

937
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: come from? How to keep that word out of it?

938
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 4: Right?

939
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: And so I just kind of smiled as him. I

940
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: wasn't going to talk trash to Zach Thomas, but he

941
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: completely lost me in coverage, I found an opening and

942
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: I caught it for a I mean, the.

943
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: Part that Dawn's on me here is Rack ultimately gets

944
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 3: into another line of work now and he's taking care

945
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 3: of people financially and all this kind of stuff. Now,

946
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 3: how about the offensive coordinator in you? You switched up

947
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 3: made Trump, make change crump?

948
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: Why we switch rool tight end? And I was like,

949
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: let me put you on a side, be a decoy.

950
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: He's like, that should have been mine, that should have

951
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: been my?

952
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 4: Did you dance? Did you have anything?

953
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: And literally my celebration was who can I give this

954
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: football back to take it to the sideline.

955
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: One, at least he remembered to get the ball because

956
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: a lot of guys are throwing the stand away. Can

957
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 3: I have that take the ball to the sideline? And

958
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 3: then two, he wasn't so overjoyed with what he'd just

959
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 3: done that he's over on the sideline high five and guys,

960
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,479
Speaker 3: when he's supposed to be snapping for the extra point,

961
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 3: did you realize he had to go get so it

962
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 3: was that's a very cerebral guy called.

963
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 4: And then got the stamp for the kiss.
