1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Smith stays on the field here on first and goal 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: to give from Bryan taking out tacklers. No signal, Yeah, 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: touched in it. Lat up. You're listening to Falcons Audible 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: presented by A D and D and I'm Matt Tebeek, 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: joined by Dave Archer and DJ Shockley. Morning Fellas, Morning, Morning, 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: Morning Morning. Falcons are coming off another tough loss twenty 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: four ten to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. They fall 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: to one and three and now begin a two game 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: road swing to Houston in Arizona. But let's let's unpack 10 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: that game yesterday. Ye just to rewind it. Last week, 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: you guys said this was a game that the Falcons 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: had to have. It looked like on paper that you know, 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: they matched up well and should play well and should 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: have had it, but things didn't work out that well. 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: Um my take was is my big takeaway is you 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: know Matt Ryan and five sacks was hit twelve times. Um, 17 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: he still put up four hundred yards, but you just 18 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: don't want to see that. And they just couldn't get 19 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: the run game going. And then on the flip side, Dave, um, 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: they did a really good job of bottling up Derrick 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: Henry for three quarters. Um, but Corey Davis and and uh, 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: what's the other fellow's name? AJJ. Brown? Brown, the rookie, 23 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: the rookie from moments, A J. Brown was a problem. 24 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: A J. Brown had had big days. I think it 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: was at ninety four and ninety he had one hundred yard. 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: He had one hundred and twenty four yards coming in. 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: He had one hundred in the first game against Cleveland. 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: So he had four catches for twenty four yards coming 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: into our game in the last two So yeah, yeah, 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: he just burst back on the scene. You guys have 31 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: to bear with me here because my laptop just died, 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: so I don't have the numbers in front of me. 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: But that's good. You're exactly right. Yeah, well, so so 34 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: for me. If you don't take care of the little things, 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: you're not gonna win anymore. Yeah, that's his plan. If 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: you're not gonna take care of the little stuff, the 37 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: little details on each play, you won't win any more games. 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: That's is okay, And I'll give you for instance, Okay, 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: we got man coverage second series of downs. They run 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: a great play action fake. We knew eyes were gonna 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: be on Henry they draw in the front seven to 42 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: take away Henry true faunts and man coverage on the outside. 43 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: They run the slant play action. We see it. Every 44 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: team runs it right, throw the slant. Okay, fine, beat 45 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: me on a slant. I'm wide open. Okay, now I'm 46 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: true fun. I've got Ricardo Allen inside, I got Debo 47 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: coming from low. I cannot overrun the play. I have 48 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: to keep leverage to the outside, so I have three play. 49 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: So now it's a thirty yard play. Hey, good on them. 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: Nice play thirty yards. Okay, you got explosive play. It's 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: not a fifty five yard touchdown. He overruns it. Kid 52 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: gets to the outside and that's where paydir It is 53 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: on the outside. Debo tries to run him down from 54 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: the middle linebacker spot and almost gets there. Okay, another 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: play for you. Fourth and one. Oh yeah, Freeman's gonna 56 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: get a hand off. I bring Hardy in because Hardy's 57 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: a good blocker. Okay, we got a tight package. They're 58 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: tight defensively. Vacaro's up on the edge, so my job 59 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: is I cannot let anybody leak inside over the top 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: around the formation and make the play. Hardy does not 61 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: get down tight enough Vacaro knives through, blows free up 62 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: in the backfield. Dead play you you don't convert. Those 63 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: are little technique things outside leverage. Get where I need 64 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: to get to to make the block, Little tiny technique 65 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: things that are killing this team. It's it's It goes 66 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: back to I think Game one where everybody was concerned about, 67 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: especially on the defensive side of the ball, was the 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: leverage that you lost. There's one particular play, another example 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: of just we're just pointing out little detail things that 70 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: they can really be taken care of if you just 71 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: do your job. And we talked about that last week. 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: Just do your job. There was a play in the 73 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: ball game the Titan tap of football. They run motion 74 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: across to the right side, so that means nobody is 75 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: on the nub side where Isaiah Olivery is. They run 76 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: outside zone and Derreck Henry gets outside of Isaiah Oliver. 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: You have leverage, you are the outside defender. Nothing should 78 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: get outside of you. He takes a bad angle inside 79 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I don't know if he didn't think he 80 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: was fast enough for what out runs them to the 81 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: corner instead of being two yard game. Maybe because he's 82 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: a big duty may fall forward, it turns out to 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: be fifteen twenty yard game. Those are the little things 84 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: I think that when they turn on the tape, Coach 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: Quinn is just disappointed and disgusted by because they're self 86 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: inflicted stuff that when you turn on the film, these 87 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: are things that we should do in our sleep, and 88 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: they show up continually on Sunday, and that's why you're 89 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: having the issues and the problem that you have. Now. 90 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: When I look at the they totally of this ball game. 91 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: To me, it came down the inability to execute on 92 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: critical downs, which are the third and fourth downs. We 93 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: know all the problems that happened on fourth down, not 94 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: being to execute on offense, but they are a bunch 95 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: of times where you could not get off the field 96 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: on third down. I mean the third and fifteen. They 97 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: throw a little slant and he picks up fifteen sixteen 98 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: yards and you end up that turns into another scoring drive. 99 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: Like Archer said, if the guy catches a slam, yeah, okay, good, 100 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: he got a big play on. You make the tackle, 101 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: but you're playing the sticks for a reason. You're at 102 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: fifteen yards. If the guy catches the ball at seven 103 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: or eight, you come back and make the tackle at 104 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: ten or eleven. I mean, it's just those things are 105 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 1: the reasons why you're unable to get off the field 106 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: for one and one reason why you're not getting wins 107 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: right now because of the small things. Well, the fans 108 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: right now, guys are getting frustrated because they've heard this 109 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: come out of Flowery Branch now for a few weeks now, 110 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: we've heard, Hey, guys need to be accountaball guys need 111 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: to do their job. We've heard Ricardo Allen be very 112 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: outspoken about this. They've brought officiating in, you know, to 113 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: help them find tune and be a little bit more 114 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: aware of what they can and can get can and 115 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: can't get away with the small things, the things you're 116 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: talking about, Dave, and in week one and then they're 117 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: still still going on. Well, I thought that though Matt 118 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: let's let's be honest, the penalty thing was an issue, 119 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: and so he addressed that by bringing officials in. And 120 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: you had seven penalties for sixty yards. If you go 121 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: back and you average Coach Quinn's teams over the last 122 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: five years, they average about six and a half penalties 123 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: and somewhere around fifty yards. That's pretty much where you 124 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: were fair point. The first three games they were double digits. 125 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: You know, in all three games, penalties sixteen the week before, 126 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: you're right seven for fifty some. Right, So yeah, they 127 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: did clean that up, and it looked like they had 128 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: cleaned up their protection issues from week one two when 129 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was back four times. Yesterday he took a 130 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: beating yesterday. I mean he took some shots, some rib shots. 131 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: He's hit twelve times, like I said, sacked the season 132 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: high five times. You know, at one point, West Schweitzer, 133 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: tys Umbrella and Kaylee McGarry were the right side of 134 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: your line for a little while. But I don't know, 135 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: when you know, when you don't have time back there, 136 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be an issue and what are your 137 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: thoughts on the line. I'll also say this, there were 138 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: times in the ball game, and we got to give 139 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: the other side a little credit too, because the Tights 140 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: came in with a really good game plan of not 141 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: allowing the Falcons to hit those deep throws. There were 142 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: four or five times in the ball game the Falcons 143 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: wanted to take shot throws. That's why you saw a 144 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: lot of the deep out corner routes that Julio called 145 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: that we saw really catch a couple of times they 146 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: were keeping a safety deep. They were keeping too safety 147 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: deeps a lot of the time. So in that scenario, 148 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: when you're rushing only three or four guys, that's so 149 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: many guys that are left in coverage, seven eight guys 150 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: sometimes in coverage for the Falcons to deal with. And 151 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: then in turn, when that happens, you have to hold 152 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: onto the football a little bit more. Now they find 153 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: some spots to throw the football, but there are a 154 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: lot of times where Matt had to hold on to 155 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: the football. I broke down to play in the Falcons 156 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: film session big fourth and two, and you get crossing routes, 157 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: you get some new coming back and forth, and he's 158 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: going in motion to see if they got manner zone. Well, 159 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: you get zone coverage. You got crossing routes, and you 160 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: got Julio coming on a deep end cut on fourth 161 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: and two. They play zone coverage. They do a great 162 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: job of passing everything off with the crossing routes, and 163 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: if you watch later in the clip, Julio starts to 164 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: come open, but you get pressure right up the middle 165 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: because Matt has to hold onto it because he's going 166 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: from one to two to three underneath crossing route back 167 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: to Ridley and then you got the big dig route 168 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: coming with Julio. It's there, but you get a little 169 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: pressure in his face. Its forces him to move and 170 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: now the defense gets home. The Times did a good 171 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: job on the say on their coverage wise of trying 172 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: to dictate to the Falcons. You're not gonna have the 173 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: deep stuff, and they end up getting home a couple 174 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: of times. Hence a lot of action toward Austin Hooper 175 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: and so forth right. That's your point. A lot of that, 176 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: and then you saw a lot of checkdowns three Probably 177 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: I meant good job just trying to check it down 178 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: because most of the time that's all he had. Yeah, well, 179 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: you've got a problem on the offensive line. I don't 180 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: mean to be disparaging or anything like that, but we've 181 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: got some injuries. The the Lenstrom injury has become huge. 182 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: You've got to find a way to solidify the interior 183 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: part of the offensive line. It's not isolated to one 184 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: particular player, but I do think that the right guard 185 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: now has become a major issue, and that's gonna be 186 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: something they're gonna have to attack let's let's look at 187 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: the flip side. Marcus Mariotta came in. He was sacked 188 00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: seventeen times heading into this one U against Jacksonville. They 189 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: did a really good job. They had some coverage sacks. 190 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Class Campbell I think had three sacks. But bottom line 191 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: is he was sacked, you know, about five and a 192 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: half average and five and a half sacks per game. 193 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: The Falcons didn't sack him once yesterday, Dave, let me 194 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: ask you about you know, the pressure was. We saw 195 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: a little bit more like what we talked about with 196 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: the Colts. Mariotto was getting the ball out of his 197 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: hand really quickly, and he's also got some wheels too. 198 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: He could tuck it and run. That was a problem 199 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: for the Falcons. Makes it makes it hard. If you 200 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: want to play man coverage, you better be pretty disciplined 201 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: in your rush to get to the quarterback and hit 202 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: him in or mush rush him, keep him in the pocket. 203 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: Because I had documented on radio he had pulled it 204 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: down thirty two, two hundred and thirty two times in 205 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: his career. Eighty one of those you'd run for a 206 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: first down. So every third time he pulled it down, 207 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: he ran for a first down, and so his ability 208 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: to run was evident. So that's going to slow your 209 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: pass rush down. All so, as much as you want 210 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: to get after this guy and disrupt him and get 211 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: him off his spot, Marietta m Marietta might be more 212 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: dangerous out of the pocket than he was in the pocket. 213 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: Now he proved he could do some damage in the 214 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: pocket as well this weekend. But the only way you 215 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: can do that is you have to take away. You 216 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: have to hug up on receivers, which we did in 217 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: the second half of the Indianapolis game where you made 218 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: him hold the football so the rush can get home. 219 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: There is a how do I say, there's a little 220 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: bit of a disconnect between pass Russians what's going on 221 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: in the secondary, and so they're not meshing, and so 222 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: you're not getting the old d lines getting frustrated because 223 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: they can't get home because the ball's coming out. And 224 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: subsequently the D line's not getting home and the dvs 225 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: are having to stay on coverage a little bit too long. 226 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: So now you're having to bring more than they can block, 227 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: which really makes you more vulnerable on the back end. 228 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: I thought there were a couple of scenarios where they 229 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: did get some press on the front end. Excuse me, 230 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: they did get some preshco We saw three or four 231 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: times on one the time he's trying to come out 232 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: and you know, run a bootleg or something. He was, 233 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 1: you know, having to get rid of it because he's 234 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: got Tacker, he's got Vick in his face, and he's 235 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, thrown it away. So those are good pressures, 236 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: but there's more time than not. He was able to 237 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: dictate what he wanted to happen in this ball game. 238 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: The touchdown a J Brown on the right side the 239 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: little Faye route was a check he saw truefon in 240 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: press coverage. AJ Brown did a good job of getting 241 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: a good release on him. And that was a good 242 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: throw either he made a good ball he put on 243 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: the outside corner. Let's be honest. Now he gets away 244 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: with pass interference on the play. I don't know how 245 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: it's not called. There's no question True's in his hip 246 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: pocket and it is a perfect throw from Mariota. But 247 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: you cannot extend your arm on the dB and the 248 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: end zone and shove him off. I thought that was 249 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: a horribly blown call. There a no call that I 250 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: thought Truefont was a victim of on that play. Bottom 251 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: line is they get they get out to Let's talk 252 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: about the slow starts. I guess seventy one to twenty 253 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: first in the first two quarters of the first four games. 254 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: Multitude of reason, right, you know each game has been 255 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: as something different. But Joe Fan just sees the seventy 256 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: one to twenty and and uh, you know they came 257 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: out they you know that Sunday night game against Philadelphia, 258 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: the intensity was there. They you know, it wasn't an 259 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: issue of that game. Um, I'm not saying they weren't 260 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: intense or didn't match the intensity, but again, there was 261 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,479 Speaker 1: just different reasons they fell behind. And you know what, 262 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: what is it? What can you put your finger on 263 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: any one thing? Dave, Yeah, it's details, It's it's little 264 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: and I know that's not a great explanation. Oh, I 265 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: want to blame the coach. I want to blame the quarterback. 266 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: I want to blame the offensive line. You could probably 267 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: do all of that, right, but the details are what 268 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: allow you to do. We hear all the time, from 269 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: the time we were little, tiny kids playing ball, okay 270 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: all the way up to playing Pro Bowl, we were 271 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: told that the little things make the big thing happen. 272 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: If you do your work during the week and then 273 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: you apply those things and apply those details in the game, 274 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: get the results. You're gonna get your results. They're not 275 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: doing that. The details are in practice and they're working 276 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: on those, but they're not transfer It's like a guy 277 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: that's plays golf that we're all can bang it on 278 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: the range, right everything range your rick, man, I'm just 279 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: talking about that. On the range I get on the 280 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: golf course, it sinks down. Now it's a little tighter. 281 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: I've got to hit a shot with a little bit 282 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: of pressure on me. Oh, I'm gonna hit it in 283 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: the tree. They're not transferring from the range to the course, okay, 284 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: And that's the details are where all this boils down to. 285 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: You want fast starts, I've got to pinch in and 286 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: get that block so they can't knife in to make 287 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: play on my back. I got to make sure that 288 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: I sit back and I sort out the et stunt. 289 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there waiting for that end to circle around. 290 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: I'm in position to make that block. Details. I can't 291 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: chase here and boom the guys guys around me and 292 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: until I'm telling you, until they get the details figured out. 293 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: Until they do the little things, this team's gonna have 294 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: a tough time winning. I'll add a little bit to 295 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: that as a fact of I think when you getting 296 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: into the game and the defense or the offense or 297 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: the other team period does something that's a little different 298 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: than what you've seen in practice, that's when I think 299 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: this team has struggled. And listen to Julio talk. I 300 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: hear Grady talk after the game and they say we 301 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: had a great week of procac. I was just going 302 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: to say everything was good range mane. And then you 303 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: get on you get on the course and you got 304 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: a dog leg left and the range. Everything is strange 305 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: in the game. Guess what in practice, Hey, we started 306 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: this guy who's playing inside leverage on this particular player. 307 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: You get in the game, this guy's playing outside leverage. 308 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: How do you respect? How do you respond? How do 309 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: you react to it? How do you change that mindset 310 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: of Okay, just because it doesn't look the same in practice, 311 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: you gotta be adjust in a ball giving right now, 312 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: the Falcons are struggling in that area. Along with the 313 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: details of adjusting. When a team does something a little 314 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: bit different to you, and that onus also falls on 315 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: the guy's calling the plays. There's no question about that. 316 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: Let's not just make it all player thing. There's no 317 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: question from an adjustment standpoint, when you start getting certain 318 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: looks that you didn't scout. We hear about unscouted looks. 319 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: There's no question that happens every week. They're going to 320 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: bring a package you've never seen before. So how do 321 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: we adjust to it. Okay, they're passing everything off, like 322 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: Shock was talking on on fourth down, we got crossing rounds, 323 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: are passing everything off. Okay. I pulled my Severs off 324 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: the side and said, listen, okay, if they're going to 325 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: pass it, if they don't play us man, if they 326 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: play as man and run away. If they're not playing 327 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: as man, then I want you to find that hole 328 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: and sit it down so Ryan can get you the ball. 329 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: Don't run into coverage just because we've got a mesh 330 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: called and it's a crossing route and I've got Hooper 331 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: over the top, and i got Ridley coming underneath, and 332 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: you're trying to mesh and you're trying to rub somebody 333 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: off and get them free against man coverage. If they 334 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: zone it off, hook up in that hole. Find that 335 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: dead spot and hook up in the hole. Give Ryan 336 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: somebody to throw the ball to. Right now, those the 337 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: kind of adjustments he's talking about. You know, you guys 338 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: talk about adjustments, and the one word that keeps popping 339 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: into my head is accountability. You know, you guys talk. 340 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: You gotta be a pro Ricardo Allen. Guys have to 341 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: do their jobs. Do your job, do your job. And 342 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: is it a case of just guys aren't being accountable 343 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: or not being held accountable. I don't know. That's something 344 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: that's a tough thing to say because we're not in 345 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: that Lot nine and see who's getting held accoutable. I mean, 346 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: obviously we can watch the film and we can see 347 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: what's going on, but we've been in those locker rooms 348 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: before where maybe you go up to a guy and say, hey, 349 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: this is what I'm seeing, or these are some of 350 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: the things that we have to be better at as 351 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: a team, and you have to look at yourself and say, Okay, 352 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't good in this ball game. I didn't do 353 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: all the things that could help us win. Those are 354 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: the type of things that on the outside the fans 355 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: will never be able to see or know. But these 356 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: guys are doing it. I mean, these guys are professional. 357 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: This is their livelihood. So they're not gonna go out 358 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: there every single week and continue to want to take 359 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: these ailes. They're going to try to find a way 360 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: to be better. And I think the first thing is 361 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: you have to look at yourself and say, how do 362 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: I get myself better? And then that'll trickle down to 363 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: every part of the game. If each guy does their 364 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: particular job and say, Okay, here's where I here's where 365 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: I can perform a little bit better. Maybe I can 366 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: hang on to this block a little bit. Look, I 367 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 1: can give a little bit more effort here, Maybe I 368 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: could communicate a little bit better on this particular play, 369 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: And then it'll trick it out to everybody else. Yeah, 370 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: dan Quinn said last week, hey, look at you know 371 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: when it came to the penalties, they showed him up 372 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, guys, they're gonna they're gonna 373 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: be standing next to me on the sideline if it 374 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: doesn't get fixed. I think that message rang true. It 375 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: seemed like it did. This week. They cleaned it cleaned 376 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: him up quite a bit. But again there's still a 377 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: lot of that in game adjustment. They're struggling with in 378 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: that accountability that you guys are talking about right now. 379 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: The reality is, though, Dave, they're one in three. You know, 380 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: it was nine two nine conference games, so there's that 381 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: going for it. And you know, we keep talking about 382 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: this second half of the season. We knew this first 383 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: these first five games would be tough too. These are 384 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: some good teams. We talked about how these are playoff 385 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: caliber teams. Um, you know, I don't think any of 386 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 1: us would have been surprised if they were, you know, 387 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: two and two right now, or three and one or 388 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: here they are one and three. So they head to 389 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: Houston and Arizona two back back games. Some believe that 390 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: this team, you know, plays better on the road, they're 391 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: more focused. I don't know, but they've got to win 392 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: this week day. We said this last week, but they've 393 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: they've got to win, you know, to keep the golf 394 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: analogy rolling. Here, you've used both your mulligans. Your two 395 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: mulligans are gone. Now it's now you got to play 396 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: every shot. You gotta count every shot. I think there 397 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: is some truth to that. You can get to the 398 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: back half your schedule, and yes it's backloaded with all 399 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: your Division oponents. But if I get to the back 400 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: half schedule at two and six, it's not gonna matter 401 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: what I've gone with, you know. So, yeah, you you've 402 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: given a couple away here that very easily could have 403 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: been won, especially the last two weeks. So you got 404 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: to throw this AFC jinks or whatever it is, out 405 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: the window, and you got to go play a team that, arguably, 406 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck stepping away, If you ask me which 407 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: is the better or the three teams you're gonna play, 408 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: this would have been the team I would have pointed 409 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: to was Houston. And as it turns out, their lot 410 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: in life is very similar to ours. They're they're trying 411 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: to figure out what the hell's going on. You know, 412 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: we got this dynamic quarterback, we got a couple of 413 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: beasts on defense, and there they lost again, what sixteen 414 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: ten yesterday Carolina. Yeah, Carolina goes in and wins sixteen 415 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: to ten. So does that help us? No? But it 416 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: does give you an idea that there are some other 417 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: teams struggling. Does it give you some solace? Not really? 418 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: So I've got to concentrate, as Shock said, I got 419 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: to concentrate on myself. Yes, there's a there is a 420 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: sense of urgency that's heightened, maybe not quite to the 421 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: to the penthouse, but we're on about the eighteenth nineteenth 422 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: floor right now. From the sense urgency must the must 423 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: ain't coming out yet for yards yet yet, you would think, 424 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: you know, you know, to be a playoff team, you've 425 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: got to go. You know, there is no set number. 426 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean, but when you're talking about the time ten 427 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: and six, nine and seven teams that kind of each year, 428 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: year in and year out, make it so you're they've 429 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: already got three losses, so you're saying for the next 430 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: twelve games, they can afford to maybe lose three more games. 431 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: With all their AFC South games up still with the 432 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: Rams and the Seahawks coming to town, they've they've got 433 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: to start stacking some wins. You got to start because yeah, 434 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't start looking at your your other 435 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: counterparts in the division. But shoot, they win the games. 436 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Tampa Golden put up fifty something on the 437 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: Rams yesterday, and Saints get a big win last night 438 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: versus Cowboys. I mean, we talked about Carolina getting winbers Houston. 439 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: So I mean, you gotta do your part, man, because 440 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: this division is just going to continue to stay tough, 441 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: and you can see him late in the year and 442 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: guy's gonna tryn to fine and rhythm too. So it's 443 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: good that you you have it later so that hopefully 444 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: you can get some of these issues taken care of. 445 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: But this is a this is a division that you 446 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta bring your pail. I mean, you gotta 447 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: bring your head because you gotta be ready to go. 448 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: Carolina did a good job of, at least statistically holding 449 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and check yesterday. One thing Carolina did really 450 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: well was get the ball to Christian McCaffrey, who we 451 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: all know is pretty special back, but he's great in space. 452 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: We have a running back the Falcons do that's pretty 453 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: good in space too. Do you see that? And Dave 454 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: and say, hey, look at this is a weakness that 455 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: we could exploit possibly get Let's get the ball to 456 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman in space, you know, like a lot like 457 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: Carolina did. Or are we just talking apples and orangine? 458 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: You know? I think that it's always it's a copycat league. 459 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: When you see on tape that another team had a 460 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: problem with something, you're gonna see if they fixed it. 461 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: And so, yeah, Davante will get You'll put him out 462 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: in space. You're gonna you're gonna get him the ball 463 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: however you can and let him try to go. I 464 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: think Edo Smith certainly is a guy that can do 465 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: that as well. Edo needs to probably given some more 466 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: opportunities to make some plays. He's certainly when he's been 467 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: in the game his capitalize on his opportunities. It's interesting 468 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: when you go back and look at the tape and 469 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: and I've been asked the number of times why is 470 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: Edo not playing more? And it's a good question. Edo 471 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: when he gets in there, he seems to make a play. 472 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: He had the what eight nine yard run to push 473 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: it to the one, and then of course he followed 474 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: it up by punching and had good awareness got the 475 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: ball over the goal line. If you go back and 476 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: look at the play, it's really blocked really poorly. I mean, 477 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 1: Jamon Brown gets blown up at the point of attack, 478 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: but he kind of drags his guy out of the 479 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: way and Edo Smith comes cuts off of an opposite 480 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: colored jersey that's three in the hole. Yeah, and knife's 481 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: down to about the one, and then of course muscles 482 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: his way in behind the Caleb McGarry block on the 483 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: goal line. So but yeah, I think that both those 484 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: guys will get their opportunities to test them. You better 485 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: get ready for the quarterback to run because this guy 486 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: is much more willing to pull it down and take 487 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: off than Mariota was. And he's very dynamic running with 488 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: the football. So yeah, and they'll be again week to week. 489 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: Things change, right guys, not necessarily maybe your problems but 490 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: that you have, but the problems that the other team 491 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: brings the table. And then it's ramped up by the 492 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: fact that they're here in the same thing in Houston, 493 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: that the Falcons are here, and right here, what the 494 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: hell is going on? The coach if you here all 495 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, So they'll be motivated in their 496 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: own building to try to make something a question. They're 497 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: not happy. I know you don't. I know you're not 498 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: a part of the game plan and all that kind 499 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: of stuff, But I know you get a chance to 500 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: talk to the coaches pretty much every week personally, and 501 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people, a lot of fans. 502 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be a question. You may have gotten 503 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: it yourself beat, but you bring up Brian Heel last 504 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: week or in the ball game, and you a lot 505 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: of opportunities on short yardage, why not use a guy 506 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: like him in that short yardage situation, a bigger back 507 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: than what you had in the ballgame. I know fans 508 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: will probably want to know, Okay, you got these big 509 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: backs you when I am asking why not use them 510 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: in those situations? It's a it's a great question. Does 511 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: Brian Hill run through the tackle of a carro on 512 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: that fourth and one? Is he big enough where he 513 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: runs through the strong safety's hit. It's worth it's worth 514 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: looking into if a bigger back checking into the game 515 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: in that situation gives you an opportunity if somebody does 516 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: come free that a two hundred and fifteen pound back 517 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: or two or twenty back runs through that block and 518 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: still gets the first down. Now you'd like to think 519 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: you get the block right. You got to switch some 520 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: things up right and get some other people opportunities to 521 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: be on the field, and maybe they deserve to be 522 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: on the field. A little bit more. Two names we 523 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: haven't talked about, DJ, DeAndre Hopkins and JJ why Yeah, 524 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: thoughts problems those I mean, I kind of listened to 525 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: some of the transcript of what Houston did, or what 526 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: Carolina did versus Houston to kind of counter what they 527 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: did in that ball game, they played a lot of coverage, 528 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: played a lot of cover for, a lot of cover two, 529 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: a lot of safety deep to keep them from hitting 530 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: that big play because they're just like any other team. 531 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: They're like us. I mean, they want to hit the 532 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: big shot with deanre Hoppers because of his speed, because 533 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: of his I'll be honest, he is a dog on 534 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: the field. He plays like a defensive guy, a receiver, 535 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: and he will be an issue. And he's gonna be 536 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: a guy that's just like every other week. You're coming 537 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: to the week and saying, Okay, we have to know 538 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: where this guy is. We got to make sure that 539 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: he's a guy that is not a problem for us, 540 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be an issue. J J. Watt. On 541 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: the other side, he's a guy that your game playing for. 542 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: There are not many guys. There's some guys in this 543 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: league that's your game playing for, and some guys you say, okay, 544 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: we can just block them, we can chip them. This 545 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: is an individual that can wreck a whole entire offense. 546 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: Is still the same player if you if you want 547 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: to see, he will give you the opportunity to show 548 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: I think he is he still is a top player 549 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: in this league, and given the opportunities, he will force 550 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: your offense into some bad spots. Now this is offensive. 551 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's completely sixty five percent his passes. He's got 552 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: six touchdowns and one interception. He's not thrown it to 553 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: other team, but he has been hit a lot. And 554 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: that's been the knock on this Houston offense is they 555 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: got to find a way to protect DeShawn Watson. So 556 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: that's gonna be, I know, emphasis this week for the 557 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: defensive unit to get after him and get it. You 558 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: talk about copycat real quickly. He's gonna see the ball 559 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: coming out quickly, and I would think Deshaun holds the 560 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: ball too long. I would be one to bet you 561 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: that everybody in Houston saying you gotta get the ball out. 562 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: He loves to make plays. He can create plays obvious 563 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: to see if he sees the net last couple of 564 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: tapes and the ball coming out from Brissette and from Mariota, 565 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, the balls coming out 566 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: quicker for him, and all of a sudden, it's a 567 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: revelation for him. Also on the other side, you mentioned 568 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: JJ Watts not good forest thing. No. Also on the 569 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: other side, you mentioned JJ Watt copycat league. We got 570 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: our quarterback sack five times, you got hit twelve times. 571 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: You can't tell me that Whitney merciless and which is 572 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: one of the great names in football. By the way, 573 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless, it's not better than I got a guy 574 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: in Arkansas. His name is bumper Pool. Bumper Pool is 575 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: he is? That's a name. Well, this guy just translates 576 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: the defense name merciless, so he and Watt. So yeah, 577 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: you better. There is no rest for the weary. Get 578 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: locked and loaded. That's all I'm trying to say. I 579 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: think we'll wrap it up right there, guys. Uh, let's 580 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: hope that next Monday we're talking about second. You gotta 581 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: go get him, man, You gotta go little things, take 582 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: care of the little things, details and accountability. There you go. 583 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: That's a rap. This is falcons Audible, presented by AT 584 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: and T
