33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: Here.

34
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: I told you guys this story last week. I owned

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: one starter coat in my life. Starter jacket Georgetown Hoyas

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: was back when Alverson was there and everything like, Georgetown.

37
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: Was the bomb back.

38
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: They will only starter jacket I ever had. This is

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: number two right here. Good tell us.

40
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 6: I only had one. But I don't want to name

41
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 6: the team because it's not our home team. So okay,

42
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 6: I had one. I had one too, Okay, art never.

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: I think I got one from a Super Bowl. I

44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: never wore them because I felt like they were kind

45
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: of you know, commemorative deals. This bad boy, you gotta

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: wear it because pretty sweet, Yeah it is. It was

47
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: cold day to day when we came in, so this.

48
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: Was a little nineteen sixty six patch on the sleeve. Man,

49
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: I'll be able to see that there on camera, and

50
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: uh yeah, this thing is pretty fly all right for sure?

51
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: All Right, so we are here to recap unfortunately thirty

52
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: seven to nine loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

53
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Fellas we were talking before we came on the air,

54
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: shock you and I did the halftime show inside the

55
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: stadium at the time it was six to six, and

56
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: the way that you'd probably I mean, I don't necessarily

57
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: say draw it up, but like completely in the game,

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: Jeohn Robinson came shot out of the cannon early, dicing

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: them up and everything. I mean, remember this defense was legit.

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean you'd look at all three levels, but defensive, front, linebackers, secondary,

61
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: they were loaded, statistically loaded, and Atlanta was kind of

62
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: able to weave their way through them. Early on a

63
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: Grandon had to settle for field goals. But then Shaka

64
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: told you is I ended up leaving to go use

65
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: the restroom. I look up on one of the TV's

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: arch and I see a guy running to the end zone,

67
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: and I said, is this a highlight from another game?

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: And then I look up and I kind of heard

69
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: the roarers from the stadium as I walked into the restroom,

70
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, well.

71
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 6: Were you met from getting the Carville. I know that

72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 6: that happens at halftime.

73
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: No, yeah, No, I was ready. I was locked and load.

74
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

75
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 4: As it turns out, our coverage unit was not locked

76
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: in low. As it turns out, Rashiji right through, So Arch, I.

77
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: Don't necessarily know where I'm gonna throw this to you.

78
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Other than listening to the Raheem Morris's press conference on Monday,

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: it seemed like by and large, the first ten minutes

80
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: of the press conference was questions about special teams and unfortunately,

81
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we have to come here because it's

82
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: been a recurring theme in a negative fashion.

83
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: It's been hurting the team.

84
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: And it's not just the kickoff return, it's the issues

85
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: on field goal unit, and it just seems like it's

86
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: something different every week. He's frustrated. Everybody in the building

87
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: is frustrated. The fans I know are frustrated. But the

88
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: question is Art's like, where do they go from here? Like,

89
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: speaking specifically about the special teams unit, where do they

90
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: go from here to fix it? Because it's almost like

91
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: every week it's something different.

92
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: Well, you might be the guy better to answer that question,

93
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: but I will refer to there are a couple things

94
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 4: that are the same that are reoccurring and it's a

95
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: coverage unit and I kickoff coverage. Remember, this is a

96
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: team that kept a lot of guys on the roster

97
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: that are special teams specialists if you will. You know

98
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: Cado Hodge plays some receiver for you, but he's a specialist.

99
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: Josh Woods, you know, Felipe Franks, Mike Ford. You can

100
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: go down the list of guys that are kind of

101
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 4: on the teams there because of what they do from

102
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: a special team standpoint. Now, ironically enough, when I watched

103
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 4: the tape, I don't really see those guys making mistakes

104
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: or being in the wrong place for the most part.

105
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 4: But that's what it is. It's you've got different designs

106
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: of things that are coming down the field where it's

107
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: twists or whatever to screw up the blocking schemes, and

108
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: it turns out guys aren't getting back to their leverage

109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: positions that they're supposed to be on the coverage units.

110
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: That's the kickoff coverage. And so this is not a

111
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: ninety man roster where you can say, Okay, I'm going

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 4: to put the freshmen in there and let the freshmen,

113
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: talented freshmen we recruited out of Detroit go play, because

114
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: we don't have that guy. You know, you've got fifty

115
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: three guys on this roster. You've got to decide which

116
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: guys are active and which guys are inactive, and then

117
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 4: that's who you play. And as it turns out, you

118
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: can't play your starting defense on kickoff coverage. Now you

119
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 4: might sprinkle a couple of guys in there, but the

120
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: guys that are getting that opportunity, that's your opportunity to

121
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: be in the league, that's your opportunity to go show

122
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: your worth to a football team from the back end

123
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: of your roster depth standpoint, and frankly, some of those

124
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 4: guys are letting the team down. So that's that's kind

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: of my take on that piece of it. As far

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 4: as the coverage units, you know, how do you get

127
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: one blocked in field goal block? They overloaded that one side.

128
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: You know, Matthew Berzern is the wing to that side.

129
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: He wasn't able to kind of stick and fall off.

130
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: I mean, it just seems like things to me. The

131
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: game did not get out of hand at that point, okay,

132
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: and that's where everybody'll point to, Oh, the kickoff return

133
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: and then it was thirty one to six in the

134
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: second half. The problem for me was the two plus

135
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 4: territory take away turnovers. You got a punt return to

136
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: the plus thirty nine, you get an interception at the

137
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: plus thirty, you got one field goal out of it,

138
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: and you have to score touchdowns. When you get plus

139
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 4: terror deep plus territory situations, you've got to score touchdowns.

140
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 4: You should have been up seventeen to three at the

141
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: half and you weren't. And so coming to in pointing

142
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 4: directly at the kickoff return, yes, that was a punch

143
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 4: in the gut, but I just think that take care

144
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 4: of your business before that and you can survive maybe

145
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: the kickoff return.

146
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

147
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: Shock.

148
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: There's the kind of when if you do want to

149
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: talk about recurring things, it's a word that we've been

150
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: talking about. Raheem has been talking about all season long.

151
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: It's inability to execute and that that goes in so

152
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: many different phases. Whether that's field goal protection, whether that's

153
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: field goal kicking, whether that's kickoff coverage, whether that's third down,

154
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: whether that's red zone offense, scoring touchdowns. You look at

155
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: the record and you now understand why the record is

156
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: the way it is because the inability in all those

157
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: different situations throughout the totality of the season is what

158
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: has gotten them here.

159
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: Let me, I'm gonna throw a back at you for

160
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: a minute, right.

161
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 6: Ars brought up a good point about the units and

162
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 6: the things the details that go in on a particular

163
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 6: unit Archie and I don't know of archead, but I've

164
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 6: never ran down on a kick. I've never, you know,

165
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 6: been a guy who had to be in your lane

166
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 6: or Archie mentioned having to leverage the football or not

167
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 6: getting back to the landmark for a guy who's done that, Yeah,

168
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 6: can you explain to the common fan what that is?

169
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 6: Because the common fan may say, what does it mean? Oh,

170
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 6: they lost their leverage, so what they can to stay

171
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 6: in their lane and they're running down. It looks like

172
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 6: guys who just run down and go try to make

173
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 6: a tackle. But there's so much more to that than

174
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 6: maybe the common fan can actually fathom. And as a

175
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 6: guy who's done it, can you explain what arch mentioned

176
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 6: by the leverage and everything that goes.

177
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's the caveat is I didn't play in

178
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: the dynamic kickoff era, right, which that's different because guys

179
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: are starting within five yards from each other. Okay, but

180
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna explain will still should carry over because

181
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: in the old school or the way that the college

182
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: does it now is everybody's got a responsibility coming downfield.

183
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: Generally your threes, fours, and fives. Okay, So think about

184
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: where the kicker lines up right next to him, are

185
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: the fives on each side, then fours, then threes.

186
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: Those are your.

187
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Primary guys that are going down to make tackles. Again,

188
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: I've not broken down this specific special teams unit, but

189
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's generally what it is. Then you

190
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: have two guys on the outside that are contained, so

191
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: their responsibility is to make sure that the kickoff reach

192
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: does not get outside of him, right, So you always

193
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: want to keep your outside arm free. You leverage it

194
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: to mean, I'm gonna make sure that the guy that's

195
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: blocking me is here this side is free so he

196
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: doesn't get.

197
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: Outside of me.

198
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's a responsibility as well. And then you

199
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: have two guys that fall back tuck inside, and they

200
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: were you're called safeties, right, They're the last resort along

201
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: with the kicker to make sure that if something breaks out,

202
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: they're free. They're not engaged with a blocker, so they

203
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: hang back five, seven, ten, yards to make sure that

204
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: if something does pop out, they're there to be your

205
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: safety valve. Okay, so let's get back to the threes, fours,

206
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: and fives. Generally, what happens is you have to make

207
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: a decision when you're going up against the guy that

208
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: is blocking you, is how am I going to get

209
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: around him?

210
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: Am I gonna go through him?

211
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Is it going to be contact and I'm gonna shed

212
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: or am I gonna use athleticism and speed to get

213
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: around them. Here's where the problem generally lies is when

214
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: you try to go around him, and if you don't

215
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: get around him easily and he's able to engage you

216
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: and continue to push you out of the way, now

217
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: you have vacated your coverage responsibility.

218
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 4: Lane.

219
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so just think if that's where the kickoff returner

220
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: decides to hit and you ended up just making a

221
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: decision to try to run around, and then the guy

222
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: ends up pushing you all the way out. Now the

223
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: person that was supposed to be there to make the

224
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: tackle is no longer there.

225
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: Okay.

226
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: So that's what we talk about leveraging the football, and

227
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: back in the old school days, we had a decision

228
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: with Joe DeCamillis was you had twenty five yards or

229
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: more to decide whether or not you were going to go,

230
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: and I'll say opposite of what our coverage responsibility was,

231
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: meaning you were going to take the more risky route

232
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: to get around. You could only do it if you

233
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: had twenty five yards or more, reason being you had

234
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: enough time to get back into your lane. If it

235
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: was less than that, you had to make sure that

236
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: you kept your leverage responsibility. Okay, I know this is

237
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot of semantics that are going on here, but

238
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: what happens is it's just like offense and defense that

239
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: all eleven players, even the kicker on special teams, have

240
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: a role and if they end up getting outside of

241
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: their responsibility, if they get outside of their coverage lane

242
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: and you vacate it, all these returners need is the

243
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: smallest scene with the speed, the athleticism, and their ability

244
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: to make one person missing space. Sometimes it's the safety, sometimes.

245
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: It's the kicker.

246
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: But if you're threes, fours and fives are not there

247
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: to make a tackle, sometimes you're gonna be up the

248
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: creek without a paddle.

249
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: It's interesting too, because you can compare it to what

250
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 4: happens defensively. Defensively, there are run fits. Defensively, your defensive

251
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: coordinators talk about it all the time. Guys are responsible

252
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 4: for gaps. It's a very similar concept. The other piece

253
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: to it RACK is directional kicking and where the kicking goes.

254
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: Talk about that a little bit as how that applies

255
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: to what side maybe you take to run around right.

256
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: Coaches sometimes will uh if there's there's a lot of

257
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: different decisions. If there's two returners back, they might on

258
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: game plan they might say the better returners already always

259
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: on the right, the other ones on the left. Sometimes

260
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: they decide to stack and they wait until the kicker

261
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: kicks it, and then whoever's the best one is going

262
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: to go field the ball right. But you make a

263
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: decision on your game plan throughout the course of the

264
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: week is where you're going with the football. Generally, you're

265
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: not kicking the ball in the middle of the field

266
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: because the middle of the field gives you a two

267
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: way go. Essentially, you're giving yourself all fifty three and

268
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: a third yards of the football field and you're letting

269
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: them decide which way they want to go. Okay, However,

270
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: you generally want to kick to one direction or another

271
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: because now you essentially eliminate.

272
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: Half the field, right.

273
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: So now your coverage lanes, your guys can compress one side,

274
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: and you're going to try to keep them on one

275
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: half of.

276
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: The field right. So it might be like we're kicking

277
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: right coverage right.

278
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: Whatever decide they would terminology they end up using. And

279
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: what happens is if you end up kicking it to

280
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: the kickoff team's right, generally the returner is not going

281
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: to have enough time or somebody should be there to

282
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: prevent him from getting all the way on.

283
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: The other side of the field right. So this just

284
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: goes back.

285
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: To game planning. It's tendencies. Where does the kickoff return

286
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: team like to go? Do they like to go right? Well,

287
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: we're going to try to prevent them from going right.

288
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: If they like to go up the middle, how do

289
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: we force them away from what they do best?

290
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 4: Right?

291
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: It's just like anything else, whether it's offense or defense.

292
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: How do we attack? How do we gain plan to

293
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: minimize what they do best?

294
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 4: Right?

295
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: So, whether it's kickoff return or it's when Bradley Pinion

296
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: is out there punting, you generally see him trying to

297
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: punt the ball to a corner of the field, because

298
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: then the guy's gonna catch it next to the sideline.

299
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: That's your twelfth defender. You hope the rest of your

300
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: coverage team is on the outside. In you kind of

301
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: cage him into one side of the field. Generally you

302
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: get him down on the ground, you're good to go.

303
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: The punts that are missed in the middle of the

304
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: field a lot of times when I see it, I go,

305
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: uh oh, yeah.

306
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: And there's the piece. Racked is really good job Racked

307
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: explaining that this is the piece that when Marquise Williams

308
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: and the assistant special team all the guys get in.

309
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 4: From a special team standpoint, they're doing a game plan

310
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: just like offense and defenses. Just like Racks talking about,

311
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 4: they're trying to find the tendencies and so what we

312
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: try to do to what the opponent will try to

313
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: counterac that is, they'll try to change some of their tendencies.

314
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: Whether they are a right return group, they'll return something

315
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 4: left or they'll have something counter that comes back. So

316
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 4: you can't just completely say, okay, the only time they

317
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 4: return is left and right. So that's where the chess

318
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: game goes in and part of why return teams try

319
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 4: to limit you to one side of the field. As

320
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: Rax said, he can corral you. But think of it

321
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: from an offensive standpoint. When I roll out as a quarterback,

322
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 4: I've essentially eliminated one side of the field, so the

323
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: defense can slide with me, and now it becomes a

324
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: condensed picture for med able to get the ball out.

325
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: A lot of times you see the quarterback throw the

326
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: ball out of bounds because there's too many guys over

327
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: there to get the ball in. So it's a similar concept. Yeah,

328
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: you know, talked a little bit about you know, coveraging

329
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 4: looks a lot like defense and fitting running, fitting getting

330
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: god on one side of the field is a lot

331
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: like a quarterback. There's not a lot of room over

332
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 4: there because you've rolled him out. So there's a lot

333
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: of similarities to the three phases of the game. But

334
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 4: make no mistake, they're game planning and trying to find

335
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: the tendencies of each team.

336
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 6: And I think the last piece to that is a

337
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 6: lot of people want to point the finger at one

338
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 6: thing another point of a coach or say why does

339
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,359
Speaker 6: this guy.

340
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: Still have his job.

341
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 6: Let's put it like that, And yeah, when you're the

342
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 6: coach of that particular unit. Yeah, you're going to take

343
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 6: a brun of whatever the issue is that happens. But

344
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 6: as Rak and Nars just talked about, the big thing is,

345
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 6: guys still got to go execute. If I put in

346
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 6: a game plan for you to go do this and

347
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 6: you go out of your lane, that has nothing to

348
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 6: do with the coach.

349
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: We talked about this a few weeks ago.

350
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 6: When Agnew drops the ball inside the five yard line,

351
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 6: that has nothing to do with Markis Williams. He's already

352
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 6: told him put your feet at eight. If your feet

353
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 6: are in an eight and you're back, that's on you.

354
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 6: So I think a lot of it also has to

355
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 6: do with the guys that are on a field. They

356
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 6: have to execute these game plans, end game and go

357
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: do your job. So a lot of people, you know,

358
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 6: want to point the finger out more keys. Yeah, he's

359
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 6: the head of the unit, but there's a lot of

360
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 6: guys who have to take accountability as well for their

361
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 6: play within that particular unit.

362
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: And guys, listen, this is this is the nature of

363
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League, how this works. As fans media

364
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: like to your point, shock, they want to go and

365
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: they want to ask head coach Raheem Morris, Are you

366
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: going to be making changes with the special teams coordinator

367
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: because that's just the natural thing to do. Is he

368
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: going to get fired? Okay, and sometimes that does happen.

369
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: We did see a coach on the staff get fired

370
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: earlier on the season. But to your point, and I

371
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: heard some questions yesterday, is how do you get the

372
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: guys motivated knowing that you're officially eliminated for the p

373
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: from the postseason. This is simple. Like the guys that

374
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: have been getting beat on special teams that have not

375
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: been playing up the par or the last games of

376
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: the year, you're playing to get a roster spot, for sure.

377
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: You're playing to show the organization that you want to

378
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: stay here, or you're playing to show the rest of

379
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: the thirty one teams around the National Football League that

380
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: not only you're still good enough to play, that you're

381
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: worthy enough for a roster spot, whether that's on special teams,

382
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: that's wide receiver, quarterback, tackle, linebacker, you name it right.

383
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: So it's to a player, it's easy to say, how

384
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: do you get up and go when you have nothing

385
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: to play for essentially for the postseason. It's like, I

386
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: want to keep playing in this league? And nothing is

387
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: guaranteed outside of what guys ten players on the team

388
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: that probably know that they got a really good chance

389
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: of being here next year.

390
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 6: I heard the best response to that question this past

391
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 6: weekend and it came from one of the Pro Bowl

392
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 6: players on his team, and Chris Lyncht. He got asked

393
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 6: that particular question and he used the word responsibility. He said,

394
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 6: it's I have a responsibility not just to my teammates.

395
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 6: I have responsibility to this fan base, responsibility to myself,

396
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 6: a responsible ability to his organization to go out and

397
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 6: finish the right way regardless of what's going on. Yeah,

398
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 6: we might not have a chance to go to the playoffs,

399
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 6: but this is what I do. This is my job.

400
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 6: I have a responsibility to go out and play the

401
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 6: best way that I know how because the end of

402
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 6: the day, this is something for my family for sure.

403
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 6: But he also mentioned that this is a time where

404
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 6: a lot of young guys will be looking to him

405
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 6: to say, you know what, how does he respond in

406
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 6: this situation because down the road, one of these guys

407
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 6: they're gonna be leaders on this team too, and they like,

408
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 6: you know what. I remember when Chris Lynston was in

409
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 6: a seven eighth year and we had just lost five

410
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 6: six in a row. But this guy was still fighting

411
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 6: his ass off. He was still, you know, put in

412
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 6: the work every single day and that's the responsibility he

413
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 6: has as a professional to go out and get it done.

414
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 6: And I think you bring up a great point. And

415
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 6: we talked about the number times before, the pride you have,

416
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 6: this is what you do, this is what you grew

417
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 6: up and six seven years old saying oh, I would

418
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 6: love to play it National Football League, And now you're

419
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 6: here and you're gonna give up because things aren't going

420
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 6: your way or things aren't going good for your team. No,

421
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 6: you gotta have pride for yourself for one, but also

422
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 6: pride for this emblem that you put on every single day,

423
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 6: the fact that you got a opportunity to play in

424
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 6: his league when there are thousands of guys out there

425
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 6: who would love to be sitting in your seat right now,

426
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 6: say I would love apportunity, have the opportunity to go

427
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 6: to work and prepare and put together the game plan

428
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 6: and go work. So I love what Chris Listam said,

429
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 6: and it's a reason why he's been around his league

430
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 6: a long time and reason why he's one of the

431
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 6: top guys in this league.

432
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: Arch I want to ask you just from maybe again

433
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: a big picture view. There's a lot of things going.

434
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about special teams, but still some

435
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: of the themes are not making catches when you need

436
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: to make catches, very uncharacteristic. Fumbled by Bajohn Robinson, right,

437
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: don't see him cough the football up very often. Where

438
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: do you see let's just let's talk about this offense

439
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: right now. Where do you see things need to to

440
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: dramatically improve in order for this organization to flip the

441
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: switch and get things turned around? Like, what are the

442
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: one or two things that you think have to dramatically

443
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: improve offensively?

444
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the conversion situation stuff is abysmal. I

445
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 4: think in the last eight games. I've been charting it

446
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 4: through eight games now. And when I say conversion nowadays,

447
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: fourth down becomes a piece of that. Teams are a

448
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 4: lot of times using from an analytics standpoint, fourth it's

449
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 4: okay to go here fourth down, and two, let's forget

450
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 4: about the field goal. We're going to go for it.

451
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: And so over the last eight games, Atlanta is twenty

452
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 4: five and nine out of ninety nine attempts so you

453
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 4: don't have to be a scientist. Twenty five just a

454
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 4: tad you know, one one blip over twenty five percent.

455
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 4: That's that's not good. So if you wanted to break

456
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 4: that down, okay, if there were twelve possessions in a game,

457
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 4: you converted three times, you know, and and so you're

458
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 4: not gonna win a lot of games in that situation.

459
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: So obviously we got to get to where you can

460
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 4: stay on the field offensively that continues, drives ultimately the

461
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: goal line, hitch in the face, and you get a

462
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: chance to put points on the board. Not three points,

463
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: you score seven. I think that's number one, number two,

464
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 4: or you know, I don't know where it is written,

465
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 4: it's not really written. But you have to want the

466
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: football to come your direction and expect it to come

467
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 4: to you. And it almost feels like if the ball

468
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 4: does come that direction, it almost catches guys by surprise

469
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: or oh okay, now I can try to catch you. No,

470
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: it's like you, I think we talked about this last week.

471
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: You know you want the ball. If you're playing shortstop,

472
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 4: hit me the ball. I want the ball because I'm

473
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 4: going to make the play. I know where to do

474
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: with it. It's the same thing. If I'm running a

475
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 4: pass route, please Kirk throw me the ball. Run your

476
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: route like the ball. The play is designed for you

477
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: only that you're going to get the football. And we

478
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: just don't have enough guys making those kind of plays,

479
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 4: and they're critical plays because we're not making of enough

480
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 4: explosive plays offensive. We had six plays in this game

481
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: of fifteen yards or more and that's kind of been

482
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: the average all year long. Seattle had ten plays of

483
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 4: fifteen yards or more. I mean, I think they've got

484
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: one hundred and three plays of fifteen yards or more

485
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 4: in their first thirteen games, so they're averaging nine plays

486
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 4: a game virtually explosives. We're not doing that enough. So

487
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 4: if you don't put an emphasis on making the play

488
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: when the ball comes to you or expecting to come

489
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: to you, then you're going to be dysfunctional. And that's

490
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 4: kind of where we've been.

491
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: Arch Shock. During the game.

492
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: I'm still really close friends with Algie Crumpler, former teammate

493
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: of mine, and I'm texting him because he was at

494
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: the game as well as Legend's weekend. And to your point, Arch,

495
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: this wasn't exactly what we were talking about, but This

496
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: is the first thing that came to my mind when

497
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: we were playing at that time. This was early two thousands,

498
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: So if you're younger generation, you're probably not going to

499
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: understand what I'm talking about, but you'll get it. Is

500
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: Algae always wanted the ball, and Algae was always ready

501
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: for the ball. And Algae had huge, soft hands, and

502
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: he almost always caught the ball. If he had somebody

503
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: draped on him, he would catch the ball. If he

504
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: was wide open, he would catch the ball. If it

505
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: was third down, he was even more locked in to

506
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: make a play for the team because he had that

507
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: dog in him. Like we talk about that term. I

508
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: know we joke because you're of a former Georgia bulldog,

509
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: but like there is a difference in whether it's like

510
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: you go up and you attack balls and snatch it,

511
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: or any time the ball is in your vicinity you

512
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: catch the ball. Like I watch Jackson Smith and Jigba

513
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: and he makes it look effortless, right, and when the

514
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: ball's there, he just catches it. He gets upfield, he

515
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: gets out of bounds, and they constantly move the chains.

516
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: That's in my opinion, Shock, what's missing going to your

517
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: thought about the conversions if we had more guys, not one,

518
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: the one that we got has been out. If we

519
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: had more guys that had that mentality, give me the ball.

520
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to make the play. It is my ball.

521
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Shock that third down number goes up, the red zone

522
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: number goes up. That's, in my opinion, what Atlanta needs

523
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: to get more up.

524
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 6: You gotta have more separation too. That man, that's part

525
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 6: of it too, is guys wanning even. You know, Kyle

526
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 6: made some pretty good catch in his ball game, but

527
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 6: there were a lot of really tough contest to catch it.

528
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: You gotta have in this.

529
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 6: Ball and you look up and we talked about JSN.

530
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 6: He had a couple where you know, he's running away

531
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 6: from coverage, he is winning on his routes. A quick

532
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 6: story about Crump that you just run into my mind.

533
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 6: I don't know how it happened, but I ended up,

534
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 6: you know, running a couple of series with Crump and

535
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 6: in practice and uh, we go and we run a

536
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 6: couple plays.

537
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 3: That's about the second or third play. I didn't throw

538
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 3: them the ball.

539
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 6: He comes back, Hey man, I ain't out here just

540
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: to be running out here. Throw me the ball, and

541
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 6: I promise you that when you said that. It is

542
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 6: the truest thing I've you ever said, because I remember

543
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 6: him coming to me saying, throw me the ball. I

544
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 6: ain't out here just to be running right when I'm

545
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 6: out here, give me the.

546
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: Run set, I ain't no decoy ball.

547
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 3: What you're doing, shot, throw me the ball. Next play,

548
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 3: I throwing the ball.

549
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 6: But that's just part of I think having that kind

550
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 6: of demeanor that you guys are talking about, that if

551
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 6: the ball's come my way or I expect the football,

552
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 6: or every single time I play with guys who every

553
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 6: time they step on the field, every time they run around,

554
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 6: they feel like they are open or they feel like

555
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 6: they deserve the football. I don't care who's in front

556
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 6: of them. They say, guess what I'm gonna win VERSU him,

557
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna go get the rock. And I think

558
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 6: that's what you're yearning for. I think that's what we're

559
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 6: looking for. I think that's exactly what you need. And

560
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 6: I think as a quarterback, when you have guys like that,

561
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 6: I think you're willing to put those guys up the

562
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 6: bat a little bit more. Just think about five. Just

563
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: think about Drake. We know what kind of player he is.

564
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 6: You know the mentality that he has. Think about how

565
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 6: many times we've seen coverage on them, We've seen a

566
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 6: couple guys on them. If we still give him a

567
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: chance because you know that dude want the ball, he

568
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 6: want to make the play. Because you throw on him

569
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: that ball, that's the opportunity for him to make a play.

570
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 6: And I think that's part of it too, is having

571
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 6: those kind of guys who want to go do that.

572
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: Now.

573
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 6: I'm sure all those guys want their football, for sure.

574
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 6: I think they, you know, absolutely want to go make plays.

575
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 6: But I think we haven't seen the urgency that you

576
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 6: will want, especially in game when the ball does come

577
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 6: your way, that I don't care what's happening. The other

578
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 6: dude ain't gonna get it, but I'm gonna make sure

579
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 6: that either I get it or it's going down. So yeah,

580
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 6: I agree. More more guys who say, you know what,

581
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 6: that ball's in my area. Guess what, We're gonna have

582
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 6: a completion, We're gonna move this chain.

583
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 4: And I think that a lot of fans think, well, well, yeah,

584
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 4: Drake sixty four six', five he's got a seven foot. Wingspan,

585
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 4: yeah he's gonna be able to Dominate Steve, smith who

586
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: played wide receiver At, carolina is a little. DUDE i

587
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 4: don't know if he's, thick he's, wide but he's a little.

588
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: GUY i talked To Jake delane And Jake delom, said

589
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: if he didn't throw him the ball in critical, Situations Steve.

590
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: Smith and we Remember Steve smith getting in fights on

591
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: the sidelines and practice and. Stuff he come back and, say,

592
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: dude throw me the. Ball get me the. Ball i'm

593
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 4: gonna get open for. You and If i'm, not you

594
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 4: throw it to, Me i'm gonna catch it in it

595
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 4: to me. Anyway, Yeah and so it doesn't have to

596
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: be this gigantic. Dude, now if you've Got Kyle pitts

597
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 4: size Or Drake london's, side, hey, bonus, bonus, dinging ding.

598
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 4: Bonus but it doesn't have to be that. Guy but

599
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 4: you made a great point about some of the techniques

600
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 4: as a receiver attacking the, football AND i don't know

601
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 4: if the layman fan understands, that but sometimes the ball

602
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 4: doesn't come out on. Time maybe there's a defender on your.

603
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 4: Back there's little nuances where you gear, down get the

604
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: guy on your, back maybe draw the. Penalty but now

605
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 4: create that separation late to catch the, football or go

606
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 4: get the ball if it's late and you undercut the,

607
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 4: defender go attack the football with your. Hands there are

608
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 4: techniques that wide receivers use that are really successful at

609
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 4: this level that just frankly not seeing enough.

610
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: Of, Yes and to your, point there are many times

611
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: when that player is on your back that you have

612
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: to go here with. It there's been too many, Times i'm,

613
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: guys doing this. Right the body catches and that is

614
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: so much easier for the ball to get knocked out.

615
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: Right but if you can go out and you attack

616
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: the ball with your, hands or your route has just

617
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bubble on it to, create

618
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: all you got to do is create a half a

619
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: yard of separation, sometimes and that's a difference between complete and. Incomplete, so,

620
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: GUYS i mentioned it already officially eliminated from playoff. Contention

621
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: but you know there's no rest for the Weary Arch

622
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: thursday night Football, falcons as we record here on A,

623
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: tuesday they got there forty eight hours they back on

624
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: the field. Here so let's talk a little bit about this.

625
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: Game Tampa bay coming off kind of a surprising home

626
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: loss to The. Saints Baker bayfield not very good in the,

627
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: game fourteen to thirty one hundred and twenty two yards touchdown.

628
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Interception we've seen this game twice a year a number of,

629
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: years And tampa's in a much different situation right still

630
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: fighting for playoff positioning. Here but talk to us a

631
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: little bit about arch your experience in This Falcons buccaneers.

632
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: Matchup already had one earlier this, season but going on

633
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: the road and having to do it on a short, week, well.

634
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: It's probably the perfect scenario in this you're mired in

635
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 4: this losing. Streak is get a divisional opponent on a short.

636
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 4: WEEK i think it's kind of a perfect. Scenario go

637
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: on the, road go to their. Building now they're probably

638
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: thinking the same. Thing, HEY i got a division. Opponent

639
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 4: we just lost to another divisional. Pone we get them

640
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 4: in our, building short, week now we can get back on.

641
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: Track so both teams are thinking the same way. Here

642
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 4: but it's a team that you're familiar. With you understand

643
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 4: who the personnel. Is you have a pretty good idea

644
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: What Todd bowles is going to throw at you, defensively

645
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: all the different looks and things that you're going to.

646
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 4: Get you played them to a standstill In week. One

647
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: now are the teams different now than they were? Then

648
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: certainly from An atlanta, perspective you've got a different quarterback

649
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: plan than you did In week, One But tampa looks

650
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: very much the same as they. Did Tristan wurfs did

651
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 4: not play On. Sunday they're real outstanding left. Tackle he's

652
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: a little bit banged, up but as far AS i can,

653
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 4: see based on WHAT i looked on, tape they're pretty

654
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 4: healthy on the defensive side of the. Ball And New

655
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 4: orleans just ran right through them with the run. Game

656
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 4: we Saw New orleans' run game what three weeks, ago

657
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 4: And atlanta completely stoned their run. Game so you have

658
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: maybe some good feelings about that from a defensive, Standpoint

659
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 4: but make no, Mistake Baker mayfield is going to double.

660
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: Down he. Understands As raktas, said they're in playoff. Contention

661
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 4: he's got a wealth of receivers that can go get

662
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 4: the rock for. Him so you're gonna have to be

663
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 4: locked and loaded from a defensive standpoint to get ready for.

664
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 4: Him they're gonna try to run it With white And,

665
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: irving and those two guys played a lot in the

666
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: backfield together recently a lot like what we're doing With

667
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: bijon And Tyler Aljeer and so they're hand and won

668
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 4: the football and throwing it to the other one and vice.

669
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 4: Versa those two guys are both really good at. Both

670
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: so this will be it'll be an interesting. Matter it's

671
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: to be a tough. Matchup BUT i think, this to

672
00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 4: me is a perfect scenario from a get ready to play,

673
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 4: quickly get your pride. Ready here's here's the team that

674
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 4: he plays in your. DIVISION i think it's a perfect.

675
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Scenario, yeah in, shock this is one of those where it's, Like, okay,

676
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: well how does the team get up and play when

677
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: you're eliminated from?

678
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: Playoffs, well it's a divisional. Game it's The.

679
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Bucks like if you play for, this play for The Atlanta,

680
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: falcons like you get up for These Carolina, Panthers New

681
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints Tampa Bay bucks. Game So i'm gonna ask

682
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: you this, question and all three of us are going

683
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: to answer.

684
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: This.

685
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: Shock we're going to go to our little bit of our.

686
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: Moment but this week is gonna be the The falcons

687
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: will win if this week all, Right, Shock so The

688
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: falcons will win on the, road short week against a divisional,

689
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: opponent if they do What.

690
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 6: It's interesting that we had the conversation we had already

691
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 6: earlier AND i put it in my, notes and it's

692
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 6: some that we actually got to just a few minutes.

693
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 6: Ago and my if The falcons win if is if

694
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 6: they get complimentary play on the. Perimeter AND i think

695
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 6: that's something that we have not gotten over the last few.

696
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: Weeks we've had one guy who goes. Out this past,

697
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: week it Was kyle who had ninety, yards but not really.

698
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 3: Much mooney had one.

699
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 6: CATCH i, mean you, know you Use Bijon, is you,

700
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 6: know he's always a big piece of. It but we

701
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 6: haven't had, three four or five guys who have four

702
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 6: or five catches in a ball. Game AND i think

703
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 6: if you're able to do, that that helps with. Conversion

704
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 6: that means a lot of guys are being involved in

705
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 6: his game. Plan that means a lot of guys are

706
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 6: wanting the football and making plays with.

707
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: It, hopefully if.

708
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 6: That, happens you have a plethora of, guys whether It's David,

709
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 6: seals whether It's mooney coming back and making, Plays kyle

710
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 6: coming back in making, plays whoever it may. Be if

711
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 6: we have complimentary pieces on the outside making plays adding

712
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 6: to this. OFFENSE i think it gives you a better

713
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 6: chance to win this ball game because you have more

714
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 6: guys that are involved in his. Offense and obviously we

715
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 6: talked about the conversion part of, it which will be

716
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 6: a huge part of the ball again as it always.

717
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 6: Is it's something that you can always point. To BUT

718
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 6: i think you can't just have one guy that has

719
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 6: seven eight catches and everybody else has one, catch zero.

720
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,239
Speaker 6: Catches it doesn't bowl well for. You SO i think

721
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 6: Kapla moriney only, outside which your perimeter guys will be

722
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 6: a big part of his ball. Game if you do,

723
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 6: that you got a.

724
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: CHANCE i, think all, Right, art so he's got spreading

725
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: the wealth outside in the passing.

726
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: Game falcons will win.

727
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: If if guys step up Around kyle and let's hope five.

728
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 4: Plays BUT i don't know that he. Will he's day to,

729
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 4: day As raheem said in his presser this, Week so

730
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 4: it'd be nice to see that guy on the. Field

731
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: but if he's, not that makes a ton of. SENSE

732
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 4: i Guess i'll flip over on the other side of the.

733
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 4: BALL i think you've got to make sure that's not

734
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: a two way. Go you can't Let irving And white

735
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 4: get going in the run. GAME i think whenever they

736
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: struggled from the passing, standpoint it's when they exclusively go

737
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 4: to the passing. GAME i looked at the tape Against

738
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: New orleans and they were really struggling to get a

739
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 4: foothold in the run. Game normans did a pretty good

740
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: job of taking the, runaway so they started throwing. It

741
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: they threw a ton of screens in this, game and

742
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 4: some of it broke, out some of it. Didn't But

743
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: white And irving we're a big part of. That cadett

744
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 4: and their tight end is an outstanding outlet in the

745
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 4: in the screen. Game SO i would say limit limit

746
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 4: the run game to where they have to lean into,

747
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 4: it even though that might be their. Strength With, godwin

748
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 4: it looks Like Mike evans might play in this. Game

749
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 4: that and, so and you got the young Kid abuka

750
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 4: who's been pretty, good and SO i might be you,

751
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 4: Know i'm telling them to use their, strength BUT i

752
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: really think that any quarterback wants to be able to

753
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 4: know THAT i can run the football with those two.

754
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 4: Guys So i'm Gonna i'm going to say limit their

755
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 4: ability for the two backs to affect the.

756
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: Game, listen this goes back to the elementary aspects of,

757
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: football is that you, know when somebody dominates in the run,

758
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: game that's a whole lot easier because.

759
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: You're turning around in your hand in the ball to.

760
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: Somebody passing. Game passing, game you've got to have a good.

761
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Throw guys got to make the, catch and defense got

762
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: to not be there to knock it. Away there's so

763
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: many other elements that go into being successful in the passing.

764
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: GAME i know we're talking about The National Football, league

765
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: but if somebody could just turn around and hand it

766
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: to a running back and it's six seven ten six, four,

767
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: like that's just that's hard on a.

768
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: Defense so we got both sides of the.

769
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: Ball it only seems fitting THAT i go to the

770
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: special teams got a rise to the challenge. Guys oddly,

771
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: enough this was one of my keys last week because

772
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: of the problem that they had against The, jets was

773
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: That atlanta needs a special teams. Win So i'm going

774
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: to repeat it again because sometimes the key can be the.

775
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,520

799
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 4: it's a sixty minute game that human beings are, playing

800
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: and there's a ton of emotion wrapped up in the.

801
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 4: Game and if we get an interception or turnover deep

802
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 4: in their, Territory i'm expecting. Points that's just. Natural. Yep,

803
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 4: okay we get a big print, Return i'm expecting. Points

804
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 4: if we penetrate right down, There i'm Expecting, okay we

805
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 4: got to settle for, Three i'm expecting us to bang

806
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 4: it through and not miss. It i'm not expecting them

807
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 4: to return to kick. Off so there there is a

808
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 4: as much as we try to think, About, Okay i've

809
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 4: just got my singular job to, do the emotion piece

810
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 4: of it is in. There as much as you try

811
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 4: to eliminate that that it's a kick in the gut

812
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 4: when you don't get out of what the efforts you put,

813
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 4: in potentially defensively to create a short field, situation you

814
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 4: don't get anything out of. That, okay as much you

815
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 4: try to stay singularly, focused that's gonna take a little

816
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: wind down your. Sales, okay you get a kickoff return one,

817
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 4: hundred it's six six at half time you get a

818
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 4: kickoff return for a touchdown before you've even you, know

819
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 4: warmed your helmet back up to get, off that's a

820
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 4: kick in the. Gut it takes energy out of. You

821
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 4: so there's some there's some energy sappers out there that

822
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 4: we've got to stay away from and take advantage of

823
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: some of those, opportunities, because let's face, it this is

824
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 4: a this is a no hols. Barred everybody in the

825
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: game fight to get yourself on the right. Side and

826
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 4: so IF i, can IF i take any energy OR

827
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 4: i take any momentum away from, us that's gonna that's

828
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,160

829
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 4: on the winning.

830
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,520

831
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: slowing down the run, game making sure they don't dominate

832
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: on the ground to two, yeah don't, well don't let
