Yeah, especially when you get one that's 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: a teenage year She's the coolest thing in the world, Like, 26 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: there's no cool factor with us. We played in the NFL, 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: but with zero cool factor. 28 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: Right. 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: My daughter has me conscious of FaceTime now because a 30 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 3: couple of times I've been on with her, she just 31 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: starts laughing because she's. 32 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: Like, Daddy, why are you so close to the phone? 33 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: Are you so close to it?

Stroud has 45 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: had other plans the last couple of weeks with those 46 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: Houston Texas, so we'll get into that. So let's start 47 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: with breaking down this matchup against the Jaguars over in 48 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: London at Wembley Stadium. Archie were there, DJ, you were 49 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: not there, right? I was not want to make sure 50 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: I didn't miss anything. 51 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 4: Mateo was coaching the quarterback at Auburn. 52 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: That's right, That's right. 53 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: Shock was in Ga got against the Auburn Tigers. Dave, 54 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: let's get a uh, let's get a spotlight on a 55 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: player that you felt like, even coming from a loss, 56 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: had a pretty solid or promising performance. 57 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a guy I've leaned on before. I'm gonna 58 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 4: again leave some of the low hanging fruit for Shock 59 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: because I. 60 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: Know he's gonna take them. I'm gonna reach pick that apple. 61 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: I thought Nate Landman continues to impress at the linebacker spot. 62 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 4: I brought him up. I think last week or two 63 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: weeks ago. Uh Landman had throw I think thirteen tackles 64 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 4: in the game. 65 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: He was he was all. 66 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: Over the place. 67 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 4: I thought he had a couple of bone bone crunching 68 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 4: hits that he that he brought to the table. But 69 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 4: I think his understanding what they're trying to do defensive 70 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 4: he fits what Ryan Nielsen wants. He wants aggressive linebackers 71 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: that are coming downhill and bringing the mail and he's 72 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 4: doing that kind of stuff. I thought he did a 73 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: really good job of fitting the run. They got sideways 74 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 4: a couple of times. And there's some things to fix defensively, 75 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 4: right shock Eman. You're only gonna when you go back 76 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 4: and look at the tape. There's a lot of things 77 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: to fix. Certainly, some stuff on offense will be some 78 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 4: things to fix on defense, and I think some of 79 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 4: that will be run fits and some of that will 80 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 4: be you know, guarding zone read or whatever it might be. 81 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: But I thought Landman stepped up again big time at lineback. 82 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: Troy Anderson not in the lineup anymore due to injury. 83 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: So it's next man up philosophy in the NFL and 84 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: then in the hope from a coaching staff, a fan perspective, 85 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: even former players, is that next man up seizes the opportunity, 86 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: and so far Landman taking care of business. 87 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: DJ, who you got, I'm Gomosa stay on the defensive 88 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: side of ball too, and talk about a guy. And 89 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: I think I'm not saying he's going to turn into 90 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: one of these guys or become and read or become 91 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: a polamalu. But I'm just talking about on just the 92 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: impact he has on a game, the impact he has 93 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: on a defense. And Jesse Bates has become I think 94 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: that for this defense. I mean, you watch so much 95 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: stuff that he's doing in these first four games. You 96 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: talk about this last game, you know, had a tiger 97 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: for loss, how to force fumble, The communication that he 98 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 3: has within a ballgame. Uh, there was a particular play 99 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: Archie partymentary. They go from a really condensed set and 100 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: then in boom, Jacksonville goes to five wide and all 101 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: you see is Jesse Bates, you know, yelling at Richie 102 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: Grant and you see guys moving, you see him communicating. 103 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: He goes back to the high now Richie greg I 104 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: mean it's just so much stuff goes on within a 105 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: defense and the way he's playing every single week, he 106 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: has shown the ability better get this defense into you know, 107 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: prime spots and make plays too. I mean the play 108 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: the force of fumble was you know, so spot on 109 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: and understanding, you know where the ball is and all that. 110 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: So he is a guy that each and every week, 111 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: you know, teams got to come in when he said, 112 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 3: all right, I got a plan for a defense, man, 113 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: I got a plan for a pass rush. Well, a 114 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: lot of people come in and say, I got to 115 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: know what number three is that because this guy is 116 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: a BALLHK for one, and he's making plays on the ball, 117 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: and he's going from high hole to you know, down 118 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: in the box. So he's a little bit of everywhere, 119 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: and it's hard to account for that guy. 120 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, his leadership is immeasurable too, right, guys. I mean 121 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: even on the play where they gave up the touchdown 122 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 4: where you missed the sack, Richie Grants got him lined 123 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 4: up perfectly to get the sack. Good move by Trevor 124 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: Lawrence to make him miss in the backfield. You'd like 125 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: to get the sack. 126 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 2: You don't. 127 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 4: He gets out of the pocket and then you you 128 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 4: kind of screw coverage up a little bit and Ridley 129 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 4: gets in behind AJ for the touchdown. First thing Jesse 130 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: came over was put his arm around AJ and started 131 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 4: talking to AJ about some of the things that were 132 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 4: going on there, what the call was, were there was 133 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 4: maybe a screw up or something, but continuing to nurture 134 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 4: guys and bring guys along, assign do it. I told 135 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 4: you last week with Jeff Akuda on the bus going 136 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: to the going to the airport after the Detroit games. 137 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 4: So love the leadership to add into what Shock's talking 138 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: about the immeasurable stuff he does on the field just 139 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: as a player. 140 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: You know. And I'll piggyback off that arch because there's 141 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: two things. Number One, it could be real easy to 142 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: be upset right and just want to, you know, throw 143 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: your head up in the air and start cursing and saying, 144 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: how do we give up a touchdown? But from that 145 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: moment to go right to his teammate and to get 146 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: everybody on the same page talk about maybe what he saw, 147 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: what was missed, the communication or whatever. Number One. Number two, 148 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: aj Terrell's not a rookie, okay, And it just shows 149 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: that it doesn't care, it doesn't matter for him, like 150 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: Jesse Bates might do the same thing with kalei As Campbell. 151 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: That's the type of person he is, the type of leader. 152 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: And I think it's safe to say that Atlanta did 153 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: their homework and found one of the best safeties in 154 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: the game and glad to see that he's on the 155 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta defense. I'm just gonna highlight one. I'm not gonna 156 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: get be John Robinson because we seems like we talk 157 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: about him every week and everybody knows how special he 158 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: is and he continues to go out there and perform. 159 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: But I'm going to talk about John hus Smith. I mean, 160 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: he was another player that was brought over to this 161 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: team in the offseason, a playmaker, a big body, a 162 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: tight end. Obviously, Arthur Smith fits what he likes to 163 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: do offensively. Thinking about the season, I think a lot 164 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: of us were thinking, you know, a chance to be 165 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: a breakout year for Kyle Pitts, right, you get some 166 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: more weapons around him, and this guy's number four overall pick, 167 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: has a chance to really be a difference maker moving forward, 168 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: and you just never know who it's going to be. 169 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: And right now it's John Hu Smith is the one 170 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: that's leading the team in receiving yards this year. He 171 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: has his career high this past weekend with ninety five 172 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: yards six receptions in the game, and he's kind of 173 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: become maybe that little bit of a security blanket for 174 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter in the passing game. Never really know who 175 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: it's going to be. But I think is another guy 176 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: that's finding he's got a role on this offense and 177 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: he's continuing to produce. 178 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: And a degree of toughness he's bringing to the table too. 179 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 4: He's catching the ball in between the hash marks, in 180 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 4: between the numbers, he's getting banged around a little bit, 181 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 4: and he's also a part of the run game when 182 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: he's he more often than not, he and Michael Pruder 183 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 4: are the two guys that are in block. Yes, you know, 184 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 4: and he's done a good job. Kyle's done a good 185 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 4: job blocking as well, but certainly Johnny was bringing a 186 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: little bit a degree of physicality the game as well. 187 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: So that's kind of a spotlighting some guy that we 188 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: did feel like had positive performances. But at the end 189 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: of the day, when you come away with the loss, 190 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: there are just like the coaching staff, just like the players. 191 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: You got to come in and what I would say 192 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: is face the music, right, This is that's kind of 193 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: the the ebbs and flows, the emotional roller coaster, if 194 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: you will, of playing in the NFL is sometimes you 195 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: come in and you get to celebrate, you get victory mondays, 196 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: they talk about how great things were in the film room. 197 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: But then there's sometimes when you when you come in 198 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: and it's difficult, right, and we've all been through it. 199 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: We've all been through those film sessions where it gets heated. 200 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: It's you know, you made the mistake, but then you 201 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: actually got to see it on tape and it's just like, 202 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they don't look that bad. 203 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: DJ. 204 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to come to you. Where do you feel 205 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: like things went wrong in the Jacksonville game? 206 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: You know what? 207 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: I think it's it's a couple of errors that we've 208 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: talked about the last few weeks. And you know, I 209 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 3: think you can point to a number of things. Obviously, 210 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 3: turnos are a big part of it. That's the one 211 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 3: thing that you just can't have. Sacks are a big 212 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 3: part of it. But I think the other thing is 213 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: third down again. You were ten of twenty six the 214 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: last two ball games on third down. And when you 215 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: look at starting a game again, starting it slow and 216 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: not being able to have the success you want in 217 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: the run game or the past game, it leaves you 218 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: to feel kind of a mode of where do we 219 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 3: go from here? And it's hard to look at the 220 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: certain situations of a game and say, all right, there 221 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 3: are certain factors that take away from the certain things 222 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 3: that happened. But I think the biggest thing is not 223 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: being able to create longer yardist plays or create longer 224 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: yardist plays in when you're running the football or you're throwing. 225 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of those things. 226 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: I've looked at the last two ball games said why 227 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: we struggled so much on third down? And last week 228 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 3: Archie had a great, great stat about the amount of 229 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: yards again on first down, like at one point whatever 230 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: it was, and that's a big deal. And for me, 231 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: I think that's where we have struggled on the offensive 232 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 3: side of the ball A lot is being able to 233 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: have that success in the early downs, and unfortunately it 234 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: fuse unto you know, third down, which we have not 235 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 3: been able to be good at and obviously move the change, 236 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 3: which you want to keep your offense on the field 237 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: and have other guys be affected. But until you have 238 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: the early down success, until you start the game a 239 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 3: little bit faster, I think the same things are going 240 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: to continue to happen. 241 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, shock's dead on. I tracked it in the first 242 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 4: half this week two point five yards of play on 243 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 4: first down. 244 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: Ye. 245 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, last week it was one point eight yards. So 246 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 4: he improved, but it wouldn't improvement enough, and so you 247 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 4: get stagnant on offense, makes it hard for a play caller, 248 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 4: because now you've got to come up with perfect calls 249 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 4: to get third and long situations converted. So yeah, that 250 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 4: shock is completely dead, right, I mean, you got to 251 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 4: have early down success. 252 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: I think, you know, kind of what came to my 253 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: mind is a combination or a continuation of what you 254 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: guys talked about. But if my calculations are right, and 255 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: I know it's only four games, but Atlanta's scored three 256 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: points in the first quarter this year. Three points in 257 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: the first quarter. Now here's what I do know and 258 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: being realistic because this comes from a guy that calls 259 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: college football games the weekend, but I know how the 260 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: NFL works. Okay, in college, yes, your first four games 261 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: of the season, you might be outscoring people fifty six 262 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: to ten in the first quarter. That's not the case 263 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So I'm not thinking that that's going 264 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: to be what it is. But when you've only scored 265 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: three points in the first quarter through four games, what 266 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: that tells me is you're not having early down success. 267 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: You're not necessarily converting on third down, you're not punching 268 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: the ball in on the red zone, and potentially turnovers. 269 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: So all of those things end up kind of working together, 270 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: and when you are not scoring points in the third quarter, 271 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: guess what you are doing, fellas, you are playing ketchup. 272 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: And playing ketchup in the National Football League is a 273 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: difficult proposition because you become one dimensional and right now, 274 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: Arch this is not a great position to be in 275 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: for Atlanta when you become one dimensional and you feel 276 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: like you got to throw the football. And that's where 277 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: Atlanta is kind of struggling right now with the pass 278 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: protection consistency and getting the ball down the field. 279 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: Well, the thing, it's the bonus on that you're only 280 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 4: giving up ten points in the first quarter, So I 281 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 4: mean the defense is holding on the rope, so you're 282 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 4: not very far behind. As it turns out. Now, you 283 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: got down seventeen to nothing in this game, and it 284 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: felt like it was going to get nasty, and the 285 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 4: defense came in and got to stop on that second interception, 286 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 4: and so you held the game in perspective. You go 287 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 4: down and score and all of a sudden, it's a 288 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 4: ballgame again. But from a I don't see one dimensional 289 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 4: being called in the game. Okay, so I hear what 290 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 4: you're saying, but that's not the way Arthur Smith's calling 291 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 4: the game. There's shot plays being put in the game, 292 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: there's screenplays, there's perimeter type stretching type plays, horizontal stretches 293 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: and as well as vertical stretches. He's doing a number 294 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 4: of these things. You have to execute on offense. That 295 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 4: means you have to block them, you have to catch it, 296 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 4: you have to throw it to the right people, you know, 297 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 4: and you got to throw it to guys that are open, 298 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: that are there for you. He's providing some opportunities there. 299 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 4: So it's going to be about players. And it's not 300 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 4: just one player. It's not just a quarterback. It's not 301 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 4: from an offensive standpoint. 302 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: I mean, help me with this. 303 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: I mean you talk about execute. You can have everybody 304 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: do everything wrong on defense, but one guy makes the 305 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 4: play and he makes the tackle. That rarely ever happens 306 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 4: on offense. Now, B Jean Robinson did a little deal 307 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 4: on Muma, the linebacker. That was an individual move and 308 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 4: he made him look really bad and he's still picking 309 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 4: up some of his laundry after that too. But on offense, 310 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 4: it takes everybody doing their job. If one guy breaks down, 311 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 4: it blows the whole play up. And it's not just 312 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: one player. So that's where this week's going to be 313 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 4: a really important week shock for this offensive unit to 314 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: come together as players as well as coaches to say, hey, 315 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 4: let's intensify the urgency on every down, not just one 316 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 4: particular down or a certain part of the game. 317 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 3: And I think you're spot on when you say that, 318 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 3: because I think you have to go back to the 319 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: basics of what makes a play or player successful, and 320 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 3: I think it's the details. And we look at a 321 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 3: ballgame and we look at so many different things as 322 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: former players of what you want to see, what happens 323 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: within a play, and they're the small minute things that 324 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: make a play successful. 325 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: You talk about each guy having. 326 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 3: To do their job, and a lot of people forget 327 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 3: about Ay, if you have a run play and a 328 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 3: guy breaks a big run, so you know, you say, oh, 329 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 3: the offensive line create a big hole. But then there's 330 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 3: also the receivers down the field that have come down 331 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: and crack the safety so you can bounce it in. 332 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 3: Hey you got one on one with the corner on 333 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: the outside. There's so many things that happens, or you 334 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: got a garden the center trying to get a combo 335 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: up to the backer and maybe the guard doesn't get 336 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: off and now that that linebacker makes a play. There's 337 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: so many things that matters inside a play that affords 338 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 3: the offense to have a successful one. I think ultimately 339 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: that's kind of been kind of the downfall here in 340 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks is there have been a 341 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: couple of things here and there that have thrown off 342 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: the execution that Archiers talked about. For a particular play 343 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 3: or if a particular series, or if you get behind 344 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 3: the change, you get a false starge, you get a hold, 345 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 3: you get something that puts you behind the change. Now 346 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: that changed the whole dynamic for the play caller. So 347 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: there's so manything that goes in a play, and it's 348 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: not just one particular person and everybody looks at, you know, 349 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 3: the quarterback or say, hey, he has to do this, 350 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 3: he has to do that. Well, there's sometimes where hey, 351 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 3: maybe the receiver and come out is breakfast enough, and 352 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 3: you don't ever see that as a fan, you may 353 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: not even know that. Maybe you didn't get to the 354 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: proper depth. Maybe you know this this this guy just 355 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: did a great job of breaking on the football. I mean, 356 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: there's so many things that goes into it. So I 357 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 3: think Archie spot on with the fact of it's not 358 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 3: just one guy. When you look at this offense, there's 359 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: not one guy you look at this defense, all these 360 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: guys have to work together. And as players, we've always 361 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 3: said this, you got to do your one eleventh and 362 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 3: I think that's what it comes down to. And when 363 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 3: you go back to the basic of the details of 364 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: technique and the things that you did on day one, 365 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: that's ultimately what's going to make you successful as you 366 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 3: go forward climbing out of you know, maybe a little slump. 367 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 4: That you're in. 368 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: You guys you were talking about the fans are looking 369 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: at it and they may not see some of those 370 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: little nuances, but the average fan what they always do 371 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: is they point at the quarterback. And you guys know 372 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: that life right, and that's kind of what you sign 373 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: up for playing that position. You're gonna make the most money, 374 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the most attention, but you're also going 375 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: to get the most scrutiny. And I don't think Desmond 376 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: Ritter has any shame in that he has accepted responsibility. 377 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: He continues to say that he needs to play better, 378 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: But to your guys's points, everybody else needs to play 379 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: better as well. In the moment watching the game, much 380 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: like the average fan, I get frustrated. But then you 381 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: take a step back, guys, and you think, okay, well, 382 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: we can't take a step back. I understand, but you 383 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: say pick six for a touchdown and a miscommunication in 384 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: the secondary for a touchdown. Take those two plays away. 385 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: You got yourself a football game. Now. We can't take 386 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: those plays away. And that's what the coaches are going 387 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: to say. We can't take them to play they they happen. 388 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: We have to learn from it. You have to overcome it. 389 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: Question for you, guys, arch, I'm gonna come to you. 390 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: Have you seen any common theme in the last two 391 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: losses that continue to plague Atlanta. 392 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 4: Well, one of the things you're seeing is you're beginning 393 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: to see a little bit this is a copycat league, 394 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 4: and so teams are going to crowd the line of scrimmage. 395 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 4: You're going to sorry, they're not. And we talked a 396 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 4: little bit about this before he came on. You made 397 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: the reference that you know, stretching the field down the 398 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 4: down the field, you got to touch people down the 399 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 4: field with plays to pull people open to stretch either 400 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 4: horizontally or vertically to create a defense that can't crowd 401 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 4: the box against the run game. And it's a good point. 402 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 4: You also have to when you have opportunities to get 403 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 4: guys the ball or guys have opportunity to make plays. 404 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: Goes back to what Chuck and I were talking about. 405 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 4: Have to execute that because if you miss on those, 406 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, the box gets tighter. 407 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: Yep, and it gets tighter. 408 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 4: You know, I've got to hit those shots. If I 409 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 4: got an option route to the outside, I got to 410 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 4: put the ball on Bejon and getting the football get 411 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 4: a first down. Now of a sudden, I'm worried about 412 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 4: Bijeon getting on the edge because you know, I treat 413 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 4: it he as a one on one player. Now of 414 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 4: a sudden, I gotta have another guy over there. Maybe 415 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 4: now that takes another guy out of the box. See 416 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 4: that's how it spreads the box out a little bit. 417 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 4: So you got to hit on these plays. If I've 418 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 4: got if they play zero coverage and they bring a 419 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 4: blitz and I'm the back back there, I need to 420 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: step in the B gap and take that extra blitzer. 421 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 4: If I go the wrong direction and the guy blitzes 422 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 4: through quarterbacks on the ground. These are things that are 423 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 4: happening in the game, and these are things that they're 424 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 4: going to have to work through. But I think that 425 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 4: there's a common theme that they're starting to see that 426 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 4: people are beginning to get tighten the box down. 427 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: Now. 428 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 4: As far as the defense goes, I think the defense 429 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 4: is doing some good things and creating problems. From protection standpoint, 430 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: coverage has been good. They've just got to find a 431 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 4: way to get off the field in the second half. 432 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 4: I thought that in the fourth quarter, as good as 433 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 4: the defense played, and everybody say, well, the defense played 434 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 4: well enough for you to win, Okay, well maybe not, 435 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 4: because you didn't win the game. And some of that 436 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 4: had to do that they possessed the ball for nine 437 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 4: minutes or ten minutes of. 438 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 2: The fourth quarter. 439 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 4: You got to be able to get off the field. 440 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 4: So the game changes, the perspective of the game changes 441 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 4: as minutes come off the clock, and different situations present themselves, 442 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 4: and you've got to attack those moments. But I think 443 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 4: the positive thing for me real quickly, and I know 444 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 4: I'm kind of skewing here and going all the place 445 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 4: for you, is the quarterback made two bad mistakes in 446 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 4: the first quarter for first half, the two interceptions pick 447 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: six and the next play throws he misreads or didn't 448 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 4: really read it, threw it over the middle assuming this 449 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 4: guy would be open, and picked off. Okay, he didn't 450 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 4: go in a shell. He played the second half. He 451 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 4: threw some rope shot in the second half, Big time throws, 452 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: the throw to Drake for the touchdown, the throw to 453 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 4: Johnny on the sideline. He threw two tight window throws 454 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 4: over the middle to convert on third down. To move 455 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 4: the ball, I mean, you're in position. He gets a 456 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 4: zero blitz. He puts the ball on Drake in the 457 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 4: back corner of the end zone. If we didn't have 458 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 4: a guy come clean on him, he's gonna be able 459 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: to hit Drake for a touchdown. Drake makes the circus grab, 460 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 4: didn't get both feet down. That's gonna be another touchdown. 461 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 4: All of a sudden, you look up. It's a one 462 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 4: score game. That's even with the mistakes. He did not 463 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 4: go in a shell. He did not shy away from 464 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 4: what was going on. That's impressive to me, and that's 465 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 4: what Arthur was looking for. Guys are gonna make mistakes 466 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 4: in games. 467 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: I love the fact you brought that up. 468 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 3: About Ritter and what he did in the second half, 469 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: because as former players, we've all been there. 470 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I think anybody can relate to this. 471 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 3: It's not even just you know, in the game of football, 472 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: in life, where you make a couple of mistakes and 473 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: things don't go your way, and you. 474 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 2: Don't go on the shell. 475 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 3: You don't go home and say, all right, well, you 476 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 3: know I didn't turn in something right at work or 477 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: whatever it may be, and now you know they're gonna 478 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: fire me. No. I love the fact that Arthur Smith, 479 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 3: for one, said you're still our guy. You're gonna go 480 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: out and you're gonna prove it. And I think that 481 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 3: spoke volume to his teammates. I think that spoke volumes 482 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 3: to people watching the game who understand it, like this 483 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 3: guy had to overcome a lot that's tough. Two straight 484 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 3: passes where you throw an interception and you feel like 485 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 3: you're laying down your team, but then you come back 486 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 3: and you make plays to help your team. And I 487 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: think that's that's crucial that you find out what he 488 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: can do in those adverse situations because they're gonna continue 489 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 3: to happen. You came into the season saying guess what 490 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 3: des was our guy. We're gonna ride with him. 491 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: And I love the fact. 492 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm watching the game home and you know, 493 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: you hear him talking about it, and you know they're 494 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: saying xy Z is going on. But you see him 495 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 3: go out and executing that first drive coming out and 496 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: you talk about that possession. You know you're down twenty six, 497 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 3: You get that, Hey it's twenty to thirteen. You were 498 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: right in his baggain was six minutes to go. Your 499 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 3: defense gonna stop. Hey, now all that is irrelevant. 500 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: You go and make play. So I love the fact 501 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 2: that Desmond didn't. 502 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 3: Allow that adverse situation kind of overshadow what he wanted 503 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 3: to do in the second half, which shows you exactly 504 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 3: what kind of player you have in Desmond Ridder. So 505 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 3: for everybody who you know says, yeah, we gotta do 506 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 3: this or do that, your quarterback showed up in the 507 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: second half and gave you an opportunity and obviously come 508 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: up with short. But I love the fact that he's 509 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 3: one of those guys. And Arthur Smith said, you know what, 510 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 3: We're gonna let him find his way out of this, 511 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 3: and it's QPS. 512 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: We love that. No kids gonna happen. 513 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 4: It's hard to turn. At least have to throw it 514 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 4: to the team a couple of times, but he came 515 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 4: out ripping it. But I do think that that's important. 516 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 4: And so all that being said, Hey, this is Rosie. 517 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 4: We're trying to paint a Rosie picture about Desmond Ridder, 518 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 4: and I think Ritter's got great potential and great ability. 519 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 4: He's now got to take that, you know as well 520 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 4: as I do. Shock, Hey, you're only as good as 521 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 4: your last outing, and it didn't go well for the team. 522 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 4: So now he's got to take what he did in 523 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 4: the second half, and that's got to be who he 524 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 4: is in the first half this week. Yeah, and that's 525 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 4: important and he knows that. 526 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: All right. So speaking of first half, let's move it 527 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: forward to the next game. Atlanta. We'll be back home 528 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: this weekend against the Texans. Dave, I'll come right back 529 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: to you. Some things that you feel one or two 530 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: things that you feel like has to be improved upon 531 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: for Atlanta to have success against Houston this week. 532 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 4: Well, the easy part is to talk about the slow start, 533 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: and you've got to get off to a quicker start. 534 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 4: So I'm not gonna go there. I'm going to go 535 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 4: to the other side of the football that I think 536 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 4: all of us feel like. Defensively, you're playing pretty solid. 537 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 4: You've given up thirteen points on the year in the 538 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: fourth quarter. You've given up ten points on the year 539 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 4: in the first quarter. On defense, you're doing a really 540 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 4: good job of starting pretty fast defensively and closing games 541 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 4: out on it. The only part out there that's kind 542 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 4: of left is the explosive. You can't give up explosive plays. 543 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 4: You had the Ridley touchdown in the first quarter. That 544 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 4: was the first touchdown they'd given up to in the 545 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 4: first quarter. You can't allow that. This is a team 546 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 4: in the Texans that come in. They have twenty nine 547 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 4: plays of fifteen yards or more in their first four games. 548 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: Twenty eight of the twenty nine are throwing the football. 549 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 4: So this is a team that's going to try to 550 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 4: light you up throwing the ball. CJ. Stroud has gotten 551 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 4: in a good rhythm here the last couple of games. 552 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 4: They lost their first two, they've won their last two. 553 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 4: We won our first two, we've lost our last two. 554 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 4: And so here come two or two teams that from 555 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 4: a perfective perspective standpoint, both fan bases are completely different places, right, Yeah, 556 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 4: but you're two and two and it's early in the season. 557 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: You could easily write the ship here in the Bens, 558 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 4: so we needed to be loud. 559 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: The interesting part here, Shock, is that they have the 560 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: number two overall pick in CJ. Stroud that, as Arch mentioned, 561 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: is hitting his stride over twelve hundred yards passing already, 562 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: so he's averaging over three hundred yards a game for 563 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: a career high three hundred and eighty four a couple 564 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: of weeks ago against Indianapolis. And even though they've got 565 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: a banged up offensive line, they have not given up 566 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: a sack the last two weeks, and they mentioned they 567 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: played against Pittsburgh last week. Pittsburgh got a couple of 568 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: dudes that can get after the passer, no doubt. So 569 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: what kind of animal are they facing with the Texans 570 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: this week? 571 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you paint a picture of one. 572 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 3: Arch mentioned the fan base coming in, and you mentioned 573 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: the outlook of what this offense looks like for the 574 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 3: Houston and the things they're doing well. It paints a 575 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 3: picture of a team that's coming in as confident. You 576 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 3: got a quarterback that's confident and the one thing that 577 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 3: can give you some hope is the fact you've been 578 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: able to create chaos for a quarterback the last couple 579 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 3: of games, and the Falcons did that. I mean, you 580 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: saw David on Ya might have a sac and a 581 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 3: half in his ball game. You saw Grady collapsing pike, 582 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 3: you saw Bud Dupree, and you're doing this with four 583 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 3: and that's something that we haven't seen in a long 584 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 3: time around here, is creating chaos with four getting after 585 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 3: the passer. And this is a game where if a 586 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 3: loud guy who's coming in already with confidence to sit 587 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: in the pocket and give him a couple hitches and 588 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 3: find a guy, he's gonna find a guy. 589 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 590 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 3: And you mentioned he's coming in and he's got zero 591 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 3: interceptions on the season too. That tells you this guy's 592 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: not just throwing it to anybody. And you mentioned not 593 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 3: get any sacks. I mean for a quarterback, that's seven 594 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 3: on seven for us. Because if you're not getting any 595 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 3: pressure on him and I got a chance to survey 596 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 3: the field, I'm gonna have success and win the National Footballer. 597 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: These guys are good enough to do that. And see 598 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 3: j stri has been that kind of guy, So I 599 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 3: think Ultimately it comes down to being able to show 600 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 3: something different that he hasn't probably seen, and we saw 601 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 3: it in Game one what they did the Bryce Young 602 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 3: as far as you know, creating some havoc for him 603 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 3: on the back end and also getting pressure on him. 604 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 3: This will be a similar I think game plan and 605 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 3: the Falcons have done that. I mean, I look back 606 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 3: at some of the game and Ryan Nilsen does such 607 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: a good job of creating the matchups up front for 608 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 3: those guys to win. He simply creates one on ones 609 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: for the defensive line to be able to have that pressure. 610 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 3: And he did it last ball game. The pressure the 611 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 3: sack bud Dupre had, he had three guys to the 612 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 3: right side of the offensive left side of the offensive line, 613 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 3: so you force a one on one with that side 614 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 3: and force those guys to win. So Onya made Grady 615 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 3: budd Dupre one of those guys are gonna win as 616 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 3: we know. And I love the fact that Ryan Nielson's 617 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 3: finding creative ways to do that, and I think this 618 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 3: is a similar ballgame where you try to create that 619 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 3: pressure on him to give him something different to look at. 620 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 3: And then obviously in the back end you got sending 621 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 3: guys back there going against you four or five receivers. 622 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: Hopefully you can lock it down. 623 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about the successes for Desmond Ridder as 624 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: a starter at home versus on the road, So you know, maybe, 625 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: like Arch said, he is able to kind of channel 626 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: some of his performance from post interceptions last week being 627 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: back at home and then feeding off of the defense. 628 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully we see a good bit of that pressure that 629 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 1: you talked about DJ getting after CJS out Because anybody 630 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: saw him at Ohio State. He made a living of 631 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: carving up defenses and he's kind of starting off his 632 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: career in the NFL in the same capacity. 633 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: Last time he was in the bins, he carved up 634 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 2: my dog. 635 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: So it seems like you got a little personal memory 636 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: of that one. Before we go real quick, NFL debuted 637 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: their Toy Story version of the Falcons Jaguars game on 638 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: Disney Plus. Our guys again, see any of it and 639 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: what were your thoughts of it? 640 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: Wasn't wasn't that any of you monitor when he was 641 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: calling the game? Yeah, that's exactly how I watched the game. 642 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: It was my replace, my replace. I thought that was cool. 643 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 4: They had Slink as the as the first down stretched 644 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 4: him out for the first time. Now I didn't see 645 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 4: I didn't see much of it. Did get some highlights 646 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 4: sent to me by my family and some other people 647 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: that were watching it. I think the couple comments that 648 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 4: I heard was all the players heads were too big, 649 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 4: and there was one glitch. I don't know if you 650 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 4: noticed it, but there was a glitch in the play. 651 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 4: Calvin Ridley's touchdown don't count. Yeah, he dropped it, so 652 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 4: the show he did not catch the ball. I don't 653 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 4: know why they didn't go to that replay, but evidently 654 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 4: there was a. 655 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: Glitch on it. 656 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 4: But I would use that replay on the Ridley touchdown 657 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 4: as opposed to the actual one. But no, it's pretty 658 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 4: cool the way they can they can do the where 659 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 4: it is, the CGI, the animation, all that kind of 660 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 4: stuff is pretty neat. 661 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 3: And that's what I'll say too, Man. I didn't get 662 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: a chance to see a lot of it either. I 663 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 3: saw snippets like everybody else. But you're talking about just 664 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: bringing more eyes to the wonderful game that we already love, 665 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 3: and we know it's a game that everybody watches. It 666 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 3: gets the most numbers. It's I remember we come into 667 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 3: the league. The first thing they tell you is, hey, 668 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 3: this is the biggest entity in the world, the NFL, 669 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: and now we're bringing more eyes to it. I saw 670 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 3: tons of videos of literally little kids standing in front 671 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 3: of the TV watching it in Andy's room, you know, obviously, 672 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 3: So it's fun to have a different variation of it 673 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: to try to bring more attention to the game which 674 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: we all love. And now you got you know, four 675 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: or five year old kids, you know, you know watching 676 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 3: the game with the big old heads and all. 677 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: The amount of creativity that's involved around this game is 678 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: pretty impressive, and for a few former players here, it's 679 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: pretty awesome to see how the NFL continues to grow 680 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: this game and reach different audiences. Not to say that 681 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: kids aren't excited in the regular version of a football game, 682 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: but if you get something maybe that kind of appeals 683 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: to them a little bit more, that's more eyeballs that 684 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: are watching the game and kind of growing up with 685 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: it as well. So kudos to the NFL and Disney 686 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: Plus on that new experience, and we'll look forward to 687 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,239 Speaker 1: see how they continue to expand that creativity. Falcons back 688 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: at home this weekend against the Houston Texans. CJ Stroud 689 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: and company coming in with some confidence. We talked about it, 690 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: and I don't want to just all talk about all offense. 691 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: Demiko Ryan's their head coach and he was a really 692 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: good linebacker in his league, and they're going to come 693 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: in prepared to play some defense too, because that's one 694 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: thing you know from a defensive minded head coach that 695 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 1: he is not going to let his team get ran 696 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: over on that side of the ball. So Atlanta's going 697 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: to have to come in flush whatever they had last week, 698 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: learn from it, and be ready to play another game 699 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL, because there is no such thing as 700 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: a walkover game won National Football League. I'll be he 701 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: with DJ Shockley, Dave Archer. I'm Derek Rackley.
