1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Guys. Here we are Falcons coming off a twenty six 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: sixteen loss to the Ravens, their fourth straight loss, sole possession, 3 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: last place in the NFC South, now all ours, and 4 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, mathematically they have not been eliminated. But it 5 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: feels like, you know, that kind of talk is out 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: the window right now. They've got they've got to start 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: looking inwards at how to write this ship. And I'm 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: just going to kick it right off to u DJ 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: or u ARCH whoever wants to take it. I mean, 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: there's a whole myriad of issues that we can delve 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: into here with this team, right from the line, offensive line, 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: defensive line, wherever you guys want to jump in. But 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: I know the last two games it has been really 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: evident the lack of run game and the past protection breakdowns. 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 1: For me, that's what stuff stood out to me when 16 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: I sit back on a watch the game yesterday, and 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, I sit up in the box and I 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: watch it and I look at obviously the lack of 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: run games a big part of it. I think the 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: biggest issue over the last three or four weeks has 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: been the line of scrimmage, and we have just not 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: owned the line of scrimmage on offense or defense. And 23 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: then yesterday's ball game was just you were crushed in 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: the time of possession. You were crushed by Baltimore running 25 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: the football. It was a series when he went eight 26 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: nine straight runs and you just could not get off 27 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: the field. They were running three, four or five yards 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: here and there. You look at the ball, kid man, 29 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: you passed the fifty yard line twice first drive, in 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: your last drive. I mean, when an offense that were 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: like we have, you would expect it to be a 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: little bit better. But obviously when you don't have the football, 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: it's tougher. In third quarter, you at the ball for 34 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: a minute and ten seconds, maybe sixth place. So to 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: blame for that those shot, yeah, you've got to be 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: able to convert and you gotta get first down. So 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: as much as the defense got pushed around on the front, 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: and there's no question I agree with you completely, we 39 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: did not own the line of screamage on either side 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: of the ball. Defensive front was getting pushed around, front 41 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: seven getting pushed around, and the run game kept him 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: in third medium situations, which allowed them to keep the 43 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: run game involved with Lamar Jackson, didn't force him into 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: uncomfortable passing situations. But all that being said, I thought 45 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: the defense tried to hang in there as best they could. 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: So when you do get the ball back, then it's 47 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: the onus is on you. You've got to get first downs, 48 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: you've got to got to move the football. So I 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: think they're part to blame for the time of possession scenary. 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: What do you think, Yeah, I mean, if if you 51 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: go back to it, you were in this ball game 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: until obviously the sack fum Wil laid in the ball game, 53 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: and the defense was forcing the kick field goals. Even 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: when they got into two for one, you were only 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: down and you got to change to kick another field goal. 56 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: You only down by sixteen to ten. So I think 57 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: you bring up a great point, archis the offense had 58 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: to do their job as well, and a lot of 59 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: it was you were trying to hit the explosive play 60 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: to Hulia. You were trying to force the ball down 61 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: the field, and it was obviously the one play where 62 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: tb is running down the right sideline wide open coming 63 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: out of the the backfield. But you know, I think BMO 64 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: for Baltimore was We're gonna get to you before you 65 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: get it out and on that particular player, they bring 66 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: an extra man and he got a guy right in 67 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: the face of Mattie just can't get anything on it. 68 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: But it's kind of what you saw in that ball 69 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: game was you were trying to get the closest plays. 70 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: They didn't work. So now you're in second, third and 71 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: long and that makes it even tougher versus defense like 72 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: Baltimore that's exotic, but also they got a front four 73 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: that can get after you. Not exactly complimentary football is 74 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: basically what we're saying here. And you know, for the 75 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: last four games, especially the last two, you know, sixty 76 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: yards combined on the ground for this Falcons team. So 77 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, with four games left, it's not like you're 78 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: gonna go find somebody on the street. They've got to 79 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: make do with what they have. Um you know, they 80 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: put Zane Beatles in there. And you know, as far 81 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: as where this team goes from here, arch, I mean, 82 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: they've got Green Bay up next to at Lambeaux. Everybody's 83 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: got a little let me ask you this. I mean, 84 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: we can get into what the fans are writing about 85 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: right now. A lot of my inbox this morning and 86 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: straight from the Beak was they've pretty much turned the page. 87 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: They're starting to they're starting to think about twenty nineteen, 88 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, in the draft and free agency. But this 89 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: this team still has four games left. There's a lot 90 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: to evaluate, and there's a lot there. I mean, there 91 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: may not be a lot to play for as far 92 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: as postseason. They haven't been mathematically eliminated yet. But as 93 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: a player in this situation, what is the mindset and 94 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: the team right now? Yeah, Unfortunately, I've been in this 95 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: situation a number of times. And now as a professional, 96 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: you come and you go to work. Okay, you're working 97 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: for your family, which is the one at home and 98 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: the one here. You have been given the opportunity to 99 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: be a part of an exclusive club to play in 100 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: the national football There's not very many guys that get 101 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: a chance to do this, So that has to be 102 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: something you take in earnest. You got to you gotta 103 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: feel that. So what I'm getting to is the word pride, 104 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: and there's a professional pride that's attached to coming to 105 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: work and preparing and getting ready to play and putting 106 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: your best performance on the field, regardless of whether you 107 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: think that you're signing. You know, I had a coach 108 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: tell me all the time, whenever you put something on tape, 109 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: you're putting your signature on. I just signed that play. 110 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: I just signed that game with my signature because I'm 111 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: on it. Okay, that translates to whoever you might play 112 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: somewhere else or here, because you hit the main word 113 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: right on the head, and that's evaluation. Unfortunately, we find 114 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: ourselves in an evaluation process as a play and then 115 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: as a coach you're looking at as well. You're not 116 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: just evaluating the players, you're evaluating your staff. Coach Quinn 117 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: now is going to have to dive in to evaluating 118 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: are we doing what's what's best for us to be 119 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: able to be successful? Now? Has that changed so dramatically 120 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: than what we were in twenty sixteen because we're just 121 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, you know, you could almost talk in months 122 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: how far we were removed from being a Super Bowl 123 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: potential champion to where we are right now. So how 124 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: much has things changed? How have some guys gotten old? 125 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: Have guys? Have guys lost their stinger a little bit? 126 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: Do we need to move on? All that is on 127 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: the table and you and with all that being on 128 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: the table, now, I've got to go out and I've 129 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: got to try to win a game. And Chock talked 130 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: about Green Bays and some disarray Carolines and just ray 131 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 1: it's not exclusive to Atlanta, but all we care about 132 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: is Atlanta, right, so we care about what's going on here. 133 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: So I think the number one thing that sticks out 134 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: in my mind is you're professional football player. You have 135 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: an obligation to the guy that's in the locker next 136 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: to you on either side, to the people that are 137 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: sitting at home. They're your family that go out in 138 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: the public. You gotta go play, and you got to 139 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: sign your name to things as a professional, come to 140 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: work and just immerse yourself in that to be as 141 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: good as you could possibly And Arch I'll add to 142 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: that as the point of on the positive side of it, 143 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: this is a chance for a lot of guys who 144 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: are getting a lot of time to play to show 145 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: this staff and like you mentioned, maybe even another organization 146 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: what they're about. You think about Vic Beasley at you know, 147 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: to be honest, I mean, he's, you know, at the 148 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: at the end of his contract and he's trying to 149 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: play his way into a new one. He's trying to 150 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: show this staff he deserves to be here, and he's 151 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: the guy who's trying to put good things on tape 152 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: and side his name. But something good young guys like Foyer, 153 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: young guys like Demante Casey. This is valuable experience for 154 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: these guys. Task on time, showing these guys exactly what 155 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: they're about and being made some good stuf out there 156 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: that they can say, Okay, here's something or somebody we 157 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: can lean on going forward in the future. Young guy, 158 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: old guy, whatever it may be. These guys are playing 159 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: for the future and playing for an opportunity to stay 160 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 1: in what is they privileged the National Football League. Number 161 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: of guys are coming up on their final years, A 162 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: number of guys are playing that one year deal. I 163 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: was looking at the list of guys who are going 164 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: to be unrestricted free agents at the end of the year. 165 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: It's a it's a sizable list. But let me do 166 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: something real quick. I know everyone knows they lost by 167 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: ten yesterday and through four and eight, but what were 168 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: some of the positives you saw yesterday? I mean you 169 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: mentioned vic and making that seventy four yard fumble recovery 170 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He put his athleticism on display. He's 171 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: got he's got the ability. Yes, he had fifteen and 172 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: a half sacks in twenty sixteen. In the year before 173 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: in the two cents he has twelve. It's not always 174 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: about the number of sacks for a defensive end, though 175 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people look at that number. But what 176 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: are some of the positives we saw? Obviously Jones came back, 177 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: led the team and tackles. It was good to see 178 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: that Grady Jarrett had a number of plays had a 179 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: sack as well. What were some of the things that 180 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: you take out of this game moving forward as they 181 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: look at the final four in Green Bay. We'll get 182 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: into Green Bay a second, But I mean this becomes, yes, 183 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: an extended audition, but can they build some momentum at 184 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: the last quarter of this season to bring into twenty 185 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: eight But before I would want to say that even 186 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: though it wasn't a bright spot, this is something that 187 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: you can learn from. And as much as Calvin Riley 188 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: has been so big for this team, there was a 189 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: moment in that ball game where it was a third 190 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: and seven. He catches a little current route and he 191 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: tries to go backwards to try to pick up more 192 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: yardage and he ends up not piled up the first 193 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: down he has played so well, but these are moments 194 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: that he can learn from, and I think that's a 195 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: positive for this team, is him being out there being 196 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: able to see those situations and immediately you can see 197 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: Matt coming up to him tell them to get north 198 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: from south. And I saw later in the ball game 199 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: he catches a pass and he dives forward for two 200 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: or three yards. Those are positive thing that you can 201 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: build on. And it may not show a big in 202 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: the stat sheet or whatever it may be, but those 203 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: are mental things that he can learn from and next 204 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: year you can see him continue to get better. So 205 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: that's one thing that kind of stuck out to me 206 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: was some of these young guys learning on the move. 207 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: Demante Casey becoming a better tackler in space. We saw 208 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: him missing tackles earlier in the year. Now him on 209 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: the back end, We saw him get hurt or have 210 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: a cramp or what it may be, but fight through 211 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: and come back in even in the game that you 212 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: know they were moving to football. So some of those 213 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: things I thought, you know, don't come up on the 214 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: stat line, but those are things that are something you 215 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: can learn from, and those guys can really piggyback on 216 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: going into the off season into the next year, and 217 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: the coaches remember that stuff, right, Yeah, so they're making 218 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: mental notes too, Like you said, they're evaluating. He's evaluating quick. 219 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: Coach quinns evaluating his staff to see, hey, are they 220 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: still trying to get the most out of these guys? 221 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: What about you? Anything stuck out yesterday? Well, the first 222 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: thing that stuck out to me was Deon Jones and 223 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: what Deon Jones means the defense. Debo made some mistakes 224 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: in the game. He had a penalty in the first 225 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: drive of the game and actually extended the drive the 226 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: escort a touchdown, hands in the face, I think on 227 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: a playlist screenplay, but he played far more. Having talked 228 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: to coach Quinn last week and how he wanted to 229 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: use Debo, he played more snaps than he wanted him 230 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: to play, but he couldn't keep him off the field. 231 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: He wanted to be on the field. So and as 232 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: the rust began to break away from Debo in that 233 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: opening drive and then the drive subsequently after that, you 234 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: began to see it all of a sudden, when they're broken, 235 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: we're breaking the line and pulling a backside guarden a 236 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: tight end to get out in front. Debo's knifing through 237 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: what blows up broken line plays more than else's penetration. 238 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: He blows through and makes tackles in the backfield. Fifteen 239 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: tackles in a sack yesterday for Dion Jones. I don't 240 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: think we've mentioned those numbers for anyone all year long, okay, 241 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: but Dion Jones his ability to diagnose plays, Guys running 242 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: crossing rounds, He jumps the crossing round, makes a tackle 243 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: short of the first down. Those are the kind of 244 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: things that you had before he was injured. And then 245 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: when he comes back, it only took him probably about 246 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: a half of football to where all of a sudden 247 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: you started seeing those things again, and it reinforces how 248 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: big it was for him to be out of the game. 249 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: He's your best defensive player. I don't care who it is. 250 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: He's the best football player on your team on defense. 251 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: And it showed up again. So you can only imagine 252 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: now in my mind, and if I'm a fan, I'm 253 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: thinking back o Keyan O'Neil on the field, Ricardo Allen 254 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: on the field, Demante Casey the way he's played back 255 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: on the field, how much different you are defensively, and 256 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: so you realize how impactful as much as coaches want 257 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: to say, hey, we picked this roster, I'm gonna play 258 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: twenty one guys on defense. With those guys back on 259 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: the field, you understand, old man, Wow, this was a 260 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: talented team. So it kind of reinforced in my mind 261 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: having him out of the game how important he is 262 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: to the team and how important maybe Keyan O'Neil is 263 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: the team and Ricardo hopefully you get those guys back. 264 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: I think it just kind of reinforced that part of 265 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: it to me. This is how tough is it, guys 266 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: for the off for the coaches. Now, Okay, your whole 267 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: grind is let's win this week. Let's win this week. 268 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: Let's win this week. Let's do the best thing we 269 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: can to win this week and get us keep ourselves 270 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: moving towards the playoffs. And yes, as you said, a 271 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: glimmer of hope, maybe a one percent chance, whatever it is. 272 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: But now I've got to shift gears if I'm coach 273 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: Quinn and I've got to evaluate my roster in the 274 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: final four weeks. I've been, like I said, I've been 275 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: in the situation before you go back to when we 276 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: were playing at the end of the eighty five season. 277 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: Was a bad year for US. Lost I don't know, 278 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: seven or eight games in a row, but we won 279 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: our last two games. We beat New Orleans I think 280 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: in Minnesota to finish this season. And it was a 281 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: springboard into the off season because you've got a decent 282 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: evaluation on some younger players, Isaiah Oliver, guys like that. 283 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: You got a chance to evaluate the players and then 284 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: you carried that momentum in of the offseason and we 285 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: started four and oh the next year and you could 286 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: feel the momentum built built from the year before because 287 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: of the confidence level. There's a lot to be said 288 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: for that. And I think that it's really gonna be 289 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: difficult for coach Quinn who's so mindset on winning this week, 290 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: win this week, and take that next step, be better 291 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: today and be better tomorrow. And I think that mantra 292 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: still holds true, but now he's got to he's got 293 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: to really become a big picture look at it is roster. 294 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: I would assume that a guy like Isaiah Oliver, who 295 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: I just mentioned, you gotta get him on the field. 296 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to play. The next question, guys, are 297 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to play more and it might not be 298 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: the best scenario to help you win that weekend. And 299 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: so it becomes it's not preseason, but it comes almost 300 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: like I gotta I gotta look at some guys in 301 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: game situations. So that'll be tough for them to shift gears. Now, 302 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: they're still going to try to win this week. They 303 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: want to beat Green Bay at for the most anything. 304 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: But I think there's there's a big picture thing that's 305 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: going to come into focus. Maybe for coach Quinn. It's 306 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: a great point. You are listening to Falcon's Audible podcast 307 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: presented by AT and T. I'm Matt Speak, DJ Shockley, 308 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: and the one and only Dave Archer. So let's let's 309 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: pivot to Green Bay. Now. Big news yesterday they well, 310 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: they lost to the Cardinals, a two win team, and uh, 311 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: right after the game, they announced that they relieved. Mike 312 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy was shocked with duties. Are you guys surprised? I 313 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: was surprised in a good season continuously he's winning eleven years. 314 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm like a very successful tenure. Yeah. Well, the 315 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: fact that the teamer he's had there and they're ability 316 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: to win and have nine ten win seasons and now 317 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: things aren't going right you cut bait. I thought that 318 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: was really surprised. Yeah, is it kind of an indication? 319 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: What do you think is an indication that the things 320 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: became really toxic between him and the quarterback that you know, 321 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that everything I read and saw 322 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: was that those two it did not get along, that 323 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: they had a you know, when things were good, they 324 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: were okay. But when things weren't going well, Uh, from 325 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: play selection in the offense, they were just they were 326 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: butting heads. Did you guys know it was bad? I 327 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: mean I thought it. I thought it was in the 328 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: range of like breezing Peyton because they had been together 329 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: so long, you know. Yeah, well apparently it was a 330 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: lot worse. Well, we don't have any idea what was 331 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: going on from a specific standpoint, but this is just 332 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: me and you guys tell me what you're thinking. But 333 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: if I'm a coach that potentially he's going to go 334 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: to Green Bay, yeah it's you go. Are you gonna 335 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: think about whether you're gonna go there? Because quarterback sounds 336 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: like he's got a little bit more power than that. Yeah, 337 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: And uh, that's something that you have to come into 338 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: wide open, no doubt. But h but that all said, 339 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good luxury to have number twelve behind 340 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: center for you. But I think you want to try 341 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: to figure out how to make that work when you 342 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers, but to so that's that's the task 343 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: of hand this for this defense. They've got Aaron Rodgers, 344 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: They've got a bunch of they've got a pretty good 345 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: receiving corps. Running game is not bad. Um. They they 346 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: have clearly underachieved this year in the eyes of management. 347 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: They have certainly obviously with that move yesterday, but facing 348 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: a Falcon's team that many feel like is underachieved also 349 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: but has been decimated by injuries. So, yeah, it's two 350 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: teams and a lot of people felt like we're gonna 351 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: be Yeah, we play off caliber teams, right that they 352 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: really and you, I think you hit the nail on 353 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: the head. They're underachieved. So you got two elite quarterbacks 354 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: going head to head. You've got a receiver corps in 355 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,239 Speaker 1: Green Bay Valdez Scantling, an undrafted free agent that's kind 356 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: of been elevated to be in that mix with with 357 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: Adams and with Cobbs. Cobb has not played overly well. 358 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is out with the injury of the hand, 359 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: so uh, and they they're using multitude of running backs 360 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: in there. They shipped out Montgomery too. We saw yesterday 361 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: of Baltimore, so it's a it's a it's an interesting 362 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: group offensively. Defensively, we know that they can rush the 363 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: past or they've been able to get after the pastor. 364 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: They're a little bit vulnerable in the back end. I 365 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: think they're they're not quite playing quite as well back there. 366 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: So it'll be twenty five degrees, might be snowing. You'll 367 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: be able to make a snow angel shock when you 368 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: get up there, right, Yeah, you know, but it looks 369 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: subilar to the situation this team one into a few 370 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: weeks back when you're going to Cleveland. You know, they 371 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: lose their guy, and yeah, let's hope it's not the 372 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland So, I mean, you're ray, So you know, I 373 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: think going into Green Bay, though, it's another opportunity for 374 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: you to play your brand of football. He says, will 375 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: be twenty five degrees, whatever it may be. But I 376 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: think you go on the road and hopefully you find 377 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: a way to jail and get a win out there. 378 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's one of those scenarios what 379 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: we talked about earlier is are you gonna fall by 380 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: the wayside? Are you're gonna you know, you're gonna stand 381 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: up to be a professional and and finish the season 382 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: on the right wing. And I think it's a lot 383 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: of what Archer was talking about. A finish that season 384 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: off on the right note. And if you pushed through 385 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: this last four game stretch, there's so much to build on. 386 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: You got so much talent here and all the guys 387 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: that are not particularly on the field, and you look 388 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: forward to what that would be when it comes back. 389 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: It gives you something to look forward to. Let me 390 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: ask you this. So they relieve Mike McCarthy of there 391 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: of his duties. Uh, he was a play caller. They 392 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: replace them with Joe Philbin. Does this? I mean we're 393 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: three quarters of the way through this season. It's not 394 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: like they're gonna change up a ton are they gonna? 395 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: Are they gonna? Yeah? Are they gonna? So? What do 396 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: we expect a lot of changes with the offense now? 397 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, do we is Roger's gonna have a little 398 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: bit more say I would say a little bit more involved. 399 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: What is there any way to anticipate what those changes 400 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: might look like? I mean, what is what do the 401 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: Falcons do come coming into this one. I think you 402 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: prepare for the system, like you're talking about man, I 403 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: think there's no question about when you start talking about 404 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do a changeer scheme, you can't. You 405 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: can't change the terminology. That becomes too difficult. It can't 406 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: operate the line of scrimmage. Because you have a you 407 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: have a language that you speak. It'll be situational stuff. 408 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: It'll be more okay, Aaron likes this. On third down, 409 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: Aaron likes this, and the red zone maybe a little 410 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: bit more emphasis on that. I'd like to think that 411 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: that was kind of way the most most coordinators are 412 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: kind to kind of lean on their starting quarterback anyway 413 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: and say, hey, what do you like down here? What 414 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: do you like here? I remember sitting down shock and meetings, 415 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: and I remember I would fill out my top five 416 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: third down calls. I'd fill out my top five red 417 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: zone calls, and whoever my play call was, a Dan 418 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: Hang or whoever it was, would say okay, and those 419 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: who what he would put on his sheet. That's what 420 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: he would go with and if I didn't like a play, 421 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: he'd scratch it. Even if he liked it, he'd throw 422 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: it out because I didn't feel comfort I'm the guy 423 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: squeezing the trigger, they'd throw it out. So you'd like 424 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: to think that that was going on anyway. So it 425 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: may be from a from a personnel standpoint, who's in 426 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: the game in certain situations, some of that kind of 427 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: stuff maybe adjust, but more anything else, it sounds like 428 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: we had a little bit of this with two really 429 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: headstrong guys in the quarterback of the head coach who 430 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: happened to be your play caller kind of doing this 431 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: and you say, you know what I'm calling this, You 432 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: run the play, I'm the coach, And that might soften 433 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: that a little bit. Maybe maybe Rogers plays a little 434 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: bit looser. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how 435 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: much that offense changes or the play selection changes coming 436 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: and once the Falcons get up there. But I think 437 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: there's a lot to play for still. I mean, like 438 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: you said, they want to win this game, and it'll 439 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: be interesting too to see if they start to put 440 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: more guys on the field like the Isaiah Alvers and 441 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: if they start to play some of these younger guys 442 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: a little bit more. You have any final thoughts on 443 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 1: Green Bay, you know, I just think it's an opportunity 444 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 1: for a lot of guys, like we've talked about already, 445 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: just an opportunity to go to a a really historical 446 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: venue and you know a lot of guys who probably 447 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: haven't been there, maybe you know, rookies or whatever. But 448 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: I think it's another opportunity for guys to put good 449 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: things on tape and try to finish the season off right. 450 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: And if you know, I think the evaluation process that 451 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: coach Quinn is gonna go through doesn't just happen in 452 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: the game, It happens in practice as well. And I 453 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: think he's going to kind of sit back and watch 454 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: guys and see who are the guys that are still 455 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: giving me everything or are there guys who are just 456 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: trying to make it to the off season. And I've 457 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: been on teams where I see guys who, you know, 458 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: they're just trying not to get hurt going into the 459 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: off season so they make it to the off season. 460 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: So I know he's going to be watching for who 461 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: are the guys that really believe what we talk about, 462 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: which is the brotherhood and given everything you got for 463 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: the guy next to you, and it just doesn't go 464 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: for on one o'clock on Sundays. He wants to see 465 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 1: the guys who are coming in here early, who are 466 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: still putting the time in, who watching the film, who 467 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: putting you know, their body on the line and still 468 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: giving everything and they got in practice. And that'll go 469 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: full throw to say, Okay, we can depend on this 470 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: guy come next season. And if a guy doesn't make 471 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: it and he wonders why, he could point back to 472 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: well and things weren't going right. This is how you responded, 473 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: and this is not a guy we want. So hopefully 474 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: guys are spouting in the right way. One thing I 475 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: want to touch on, guys, and I know you're getting 476 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: inundated with it. I know I am via Twitter and 477 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure you are too. Shock. Is this notion that 478 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: coach Quinn's somehow has forgotten out to coach Okay and 479 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: his inability is so we need to get rid of 480 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: Coach Quinn. Stop with that. Okay, this guy, he took 481 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: you to super Bowl. You were in the playoffs, you 482 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: were the only team that went back from sixteen went 483 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: to the playoffs in seventeen, the only team in the NFC. 484 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: So you've gone to back to back playoff performance, you 485 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: went out and beat the Rams in their building, and 486 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: we're one play away from going to the NFC Championship. 487 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: Am A here we go. So stop with all that. Okay, Yeah, 488 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: there needs to be some tweaks, some adjustments, and coach 489 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: Quinn will evaluate his staff. There's no question about that 490 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: as to whether he needs to thinks he needs to 491 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: make some changes there. But Dan Quinn has done an 492 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: unbelievable job of building a culture here where I think 493 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: you're going to see a team that's going to compete 494 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: really hard on the last four weeks. I think you'll 495 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: see a team that's going to go out there and 496 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: fight for one another, fight for you as a city. 497 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: So let's quit with the whole Coach Quinn thing. I mean, 498 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: he's the guy that got you to the Promised Land. 499 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: We just didn't quite get over. You know that that 500 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: the river of milk and honey, so to speak, and 501 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: you didn't get a chance to taste it. So give 502 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: it get you know, let the guy fix it, come 503 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: back and let's regroup. But let's stop with the whole 504 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: Coach Quinn thing. He's not the problem here. The players 505 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: have to take have to take earnest, to take take 506 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: in earnest what they're doing, what the permomans are putting 507 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: on the field. The players have to go out and 508 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: play better. There's there's a lot of problems and along 509 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,239 Speaker 1: the offensive line in different places that those guys have 510 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: to take take stock and what they're doing. Let's quit, 511 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: let's quit with the Coach Quinn stuff. That's probably crazy. Yeah, 512 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: me too, you know. I see I get here like 513 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: six fifteen every morning, and the one car that's always 514 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: here before me is is Coach Quinn's car, and I 515 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: see him getting coffee in the morning. I mean, the 516 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: guy is even killed. He's a grinder's he works hard, 517 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: he's he's a great guy. But if if we can 518 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: see the problems you know, that they're having on the 519 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: offensive line, Coach Quinn sees it too, and he deserves 520 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: every right to fix it, and he will, I'm sure. 521 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: And how soon people forget? So they've got Green Bay 522 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: and then they've got the Cardinals, Panthers and Bucks to 523 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: close out the year. I'm looking forward to going up 524 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: to Lambeau and it's gonna be it's gonna be a 525 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: good game, it's gonna be exciting.
