1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The Falcons Audible presented by AT and T is back.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna recap Week two in the National Football League.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: We've got action on the field. We'll talk about the

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Falcons and some other things around the NFL. I'm going

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: to be your host for the next call at twenty

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: to thirty minutes. I'm Derek Rackley. I'm along with my

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: guys Dave Archer and DJ Shockley. And hopefully if you've

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: been tuning into our podcast by now, you know these guys,

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: so we can go ahead and just surpass the introductions,

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: because these guys are chomping at the bit to get

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: into some discussion about the Falcons and of course the

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: entire NFL. So before we get into that, let me

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: give you a quick rundown and we're gonna cover in

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: this episode of the Falcons Audible. Of course, quick reactions

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: to the game last weekend. What did it all mean?

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to make sense of this game between

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Atlanta and Tampa Bay. We'll take a step away talk

18
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: about one of the teams in the division in the

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston and the New Orleans Saints. Kind of still

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: seems odd saying not without saying the Breeze Saints, and

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: then we'll recount we got two quarterbacks in the show.

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: We get a chance for them to recount the best

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: and maybe worst throws that they've ever made in competition.

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: And then we'll look ahead for the next couple of

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: moments for the Atlanta Falcon. So that's kind of the

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: rundown of the show. But DJ, I'm gonna start with you.

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with quick reactions here, Okay, all right,

28
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: I want you to tell us number one if you're

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: encouraged or discouraged by what you saw in the Atlanta

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Tampa game, and I want you to follow that up

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: with your support. But here's the caveat Okay, Okay, you

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: got to give me one or two sentences and that's it. Okay,

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: So you got to keep it short and sweet. What

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: do they say the five bees? Be brief, my brother,

35
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: be brief? All right, you're up? What if? What if

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: you run on sentences don't work? Due? I guess now,

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: all right, I am encouraged. Obviously in that ball game,

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: you're down twenty eight ten, you find a way to

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: call and fight back, and you're within three and things

40
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: don't go you're away some uncanny things happened, But I'm

41
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: encouraged by what happened. This team fell back and I

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: was excited about that. How was that all? Right? What

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: you got? Yeah, I guess I'll go counterpoint. I'm discouraged,

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: but I think because I thought this team got off

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: to a slow start and then fought their way back,

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: ultimately to let it bleed away on some screwy play.

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of encouraged, but I'm discouraged too. Sorry,

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: rack it just I think there's a lot of good

49
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: things on both sides. Stop nailing me down, man, ra

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: be the equalizer and tell us are you encouraged or

51
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: got to break the tie and y thing? Right? Okay,

52
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'm gonna lean towards art here arch here,

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say that I'm discouraged because I expect

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL teams to be competitive with the amount

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: of talent, meaning even though that the Atlanta Falcons are

56
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: in a new regime, I still expect them to be competitive,

57
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: even if it is the defending world champs. But I'm

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: discouraged how the way the second half and specifically the

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: fourth quarter ended up going one of the biggest things

60
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: that we always learned and our preach about is finishing

61
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and as we all know, the Atlanta

62
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: Falcons did not finish in their game against Tampa. And

63
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: by the way, if you want to get more podcast

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: action and more breakdowns of the game, feel free to

65
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: join our Atlanta Falcons insider Scott Bear, Torry mclaney, and

66
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: Chris rim on the Falcons Final whistle as they get

67
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: right into it after the games. You can find that

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: information on all these same outlets to get some more

69
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: podcast action of the breakdown. All right, so let's break

70
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: it down a little bit more, and Arch, I'm gonna

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: come back to you what does this mean, because you

72
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: guys kind of summarize it as far as Falcons in

73
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: pretty good shape. It was a really good game after

74
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: three quarters, and then for some reason the wheels just

75
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: fell off and things snowballed really fast. So what does

76
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: this all mean? Kind of break down this game and

77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: what it means to you, Arch, Well, it means you're inconsistent,

78
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: and I think that that probably is what you saw

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: in week one. This one was a better version of that,

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: but it's still inconsistency, right, You still lost the football game.

81
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: You get off to a bit of a slow start defensively,

82
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: and then you make a play defensively, so you gain

83
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: a kind of back and fourth type of scenarios. You

84
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: get down twenty eight to ten, you claw your way

85
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: back in the game, and then it gets away from

86
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: you again. I think that that is probably the word

87
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: that sticks out to me is inconsistent. There's not a

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: solid p work of play on the offensive line. They're

89
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: solid for a little bit, and then there's inconsistency. All

90
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden. We leak on protections, we leak on

91
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: some of the types of some of the stunts that

92
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: come and force Matt Ryan to get the ball out

93
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: too early. You can't throw the ball down field because

94
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: can't quite hold it long enough. Yet we wore them

95
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: out with that short passing attack underneath. So the inconsistency,

96
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: I guess, is probably going back your original question, Rack

97
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: is what kind of brings on this discouragement, if you will,

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: is where is that consistency? Does it develop? I think

99
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: it can, and certainly it has to develop pretty quickly

100
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: if you want to contain maintain some kind of competitive

101
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: balance here inside the division and DJ what's stuck out

102
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: to you because you know, we watch these games. Obviously

103
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: Dave's calling it, so he's right there for every single

104
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: snap You're watching this game as you got a vested

105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: interest in the team and covering them. But what sticks

106
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: out to you because yeah, there are things to be encouraged,

107
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, DJ, you and

108
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: Dave know that, like, we're not in the business to

109
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: be encouraged, right, the NFL is a business of winning.

110
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: So how did you make this game? At least how

111
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: it shook out in the end. I think ultimately you

112
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: look at you're doing things in this ball game that

113
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't have gone the way did. I mean, let's be

114
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: point blank, you can't have a quarterback throw for five

115
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the ball game against you. Now, you you

116
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: only give up eighty two rushing yards. You were you know,

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: you held him in the fourth twelve on third down.

118
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: But when they score five touchdowns in a ball game

119
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: and the quarterback does that, that obviously means there's some

120
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: other ears they're doing is really good on Maybe it's

121
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: first and second down, they're not even getting a third

122
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: down at times. Maybe there are things in the ball

123
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: game you look back and say we had our opportunities,

124
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: but I also am encouraged about how well you did

125
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: in the red zone. There were times where you needed

126
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: to score touchdowns in this game as much as they

127
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: were going to sounds. You needed to have that a

128
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: part of your arso on this ball game and be

129
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: able to do it. I thought Cordelle Patterson showed a

130
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: lot of versatility this ball game. I think he is

131
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: starting to become one of those guys that you know

132
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: you can depend on. Artists talked about there are some

133
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: of the things that are very inconsistent without this team,

134
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: where there's some guys who are starting to be consistent,

135
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: and you know, coming to a ball game you can

136
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: depend on it. You heard Arthur Smith talk about I

137
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: know I have some guys I can depend on that,

138
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: And I think even though we're discouraged about the outcome,

139
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: we're discouraged about being O and two. I think Arthur

140
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Smith knows now exactly who is in that locker room

141
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: with him, and a lot of times when you're going

142
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: to a new season with a new staff and a

143
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: new regiment that everybody's trying to learn each other, well,

144
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: I think now he's starting to understand the guys that

145
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: he can depend on in certain spots and guys that

146
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: can do certain things. And I think Cordeor Patterson's one

147
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: of those guys you see your starting depending on. We

148
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: saw Kyle Pitts emerging this ball game. You've heard him

149
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: talk about. I understand the coverage is a little bit

150
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: better than this ball game. Things slowed down a little

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: bit more for him. So there's things that obviously we

152
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: all want to see improve, we want them to be

153
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: more consistent, but there's also things that you can see

154
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: whether this team is starting to grow in its ball again.

155
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: How about mag Ryan on zone read Arch, I mean

156
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: jumping in the end zone. I mean, I know Arch

157
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: was yelling at that point when he you know, went

158
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: airborne to get into the zone. I mean, this is

159
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: a guy who's been around for fourteen seasons and he's

160
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: giving his body up. And those are things that you

161
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: can absolutely build on it. Like I said, we, like

162
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned, there's still a lot to improve on. We

163
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: don't want to be in the couraging business, but there's

164
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: still a lot of things that we can be excited about. Yeah,

165
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: and I agree with you guys, And one of my

166
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: college coaches, Glenn Mason used to always tell us that

167
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: the point in the game, there will be four to

168
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: five plays that will make a difference in swaying it

169
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: either direction. And as I'm watching every game, whether I'm

170
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: scouting a game for that I'm gonna be calling, or

171
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm watching Atlanta kind of see like, how is this

172
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: skinning gonna unfold? You see the stop in the third quarter? Defensively,

173
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: the punt, they get the ball back down play, what

174
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: is it? They pick up eight yards to leave a

175
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: second in two and then it's come up short on

176
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: second down, stuffed on third down, bad punt, and then

177
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: everything just went downhill from that point on right, And

178
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: that was the point where it was like, there's your

179
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: three to four plays in the game that are potentially

180
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: going to make a difference in sure enough and ended

181
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: up doing that. I mean, Dave, did you kind of

182
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: see that as your calumni, You're like, oh goodness, here

183
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: we go, Like this was the opportunity. All we gotta

184
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: do is pick up a first down and maybe it

185
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: changes the complexion of the fourth quarter. I thought there

186
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: were a couple of plays like that rack and I'll

187
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: even take it back further opening drive of the second half,

188
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: and you go down and get a field goal, remember

189
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: kind of an excuse me field goal right at the

190
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: end of the first half to draw the score to

191
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: twenty one. Ten, And you're gonna start the second half

192
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: with football. Now you get backed up. You get a

193
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: bad penalty. Remember Avian Williams catches that short kick and

194
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: drives returns it all the way out over the fifty

195
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: yard line. You're gonna start in plus territory. You get

196
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: an illegal block backs, you back up to your ten

197
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: yard line. Okay, we still have the football. Let's get

198
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: started on a short pass. He's got Russell Gauge wide

199
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: open for a little zone beater for about a five

200
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: or six yard game. Balls tipped in the air by

201
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: Vita Vea shack. Barrett picks it off. Two plays later

202
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: they throw a touchdown pass. Well or three plays later

203
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: they throw a touchdown pass. But if you go to

204
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: the second play of that drive for Tampa, Tom Brady

205
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: tries to throw a back shoulder fade, Fabian Moreau drops

206
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: an interception. They've got an interception to flip the script.

207
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: There's just two sequences right there that are started the

208
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: second half that would have changed the potentially the complexion

209
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: of the game. Have to make the plays when you

210
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: have an opportunity. We saw ball batted in the air

211
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: shack Barrett caught it, set them up in fuel positions.

212
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: We had an opportunity for Fabian role to intercept it

213
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: and flip the script. We didn't make the play. They

214
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on a Mike Evans touchdown pass. Yeah,

215
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean there's obviously, as you go back to a

216
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: game like that, you think about the missed opportunities when

217
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: you scratched in Claude to get so close to really

218
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: getting over the hump and maybe going down to Tampa's

219
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: stealing away from a game from the defending world champs,

220
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: and then you missed a couple plays that you're talking

221
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: about Arch, It's going to be extremely difficult to beat

222
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: that team. All right, guys, let's take a step back

223
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: from this one because there's some other action and there's

224
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: some fun things that I want to get to. But

225
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: there was a game as far as the Saints playing

226
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Right, Obviously, we're in this new generation, if

227
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: you will, of a quarterback for the New Orleans Saints

228
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: not named Drew Brees. Jamis Winston gets off to a

229
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: great start a week ago, and some would say he

230
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: kind of came back to Jamis Winston this past week,

231
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: throwing a couple of bad interceptions. And I just want

232
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: to ask this question, DJ. I'm gonna start with you.

233
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: You saw a week one, you got a chance to

234
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: see week two. Do you think the Saints are a

235
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: contender in this division with Jamis being the starting quarterback

236
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: or do you think they don't have any lasting power.

237
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I don't. And I say that

238
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: because of what happened. You just mentioned what happened in

239
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: week one and then what happens in week two. This

240
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: is the same Jameis Winston that we saw in Tampa. Well,

241
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: go out and throw thirty touchdowns, but also throw thirty

242
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: plus interceptions. And in this league you have to be consistent.

243
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Archid just talked about it with the Falcons.

244
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: Consistency is key. And when you have quarterbacks in this

245
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: league that can go out weekend and week out and

246
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: not turn the football over and can be the reason

247
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: why you win games, those are the teams that are

248
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: going to win ball games. Those are the teams that

249
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: are gonna win divisions. They're gonna win, They're gonna be

250
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: buying for it every single year. And that's the reason

251
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: why Drew Brees is so beloved in that city and

252
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: beloved as a quarterment because he didn't lose a game

253
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: for you. He did everything to help you. Yeah, he

254
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: had games where he throw interception or two, but he

255
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: was consistent in his play. And over the years, that's

256
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: been the mantra of Jamis Wiston is he has not

257
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: been consistent with his play weekend and week out. So

258
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: when you come into a ball game, you're not sure

259
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: which Jamis you're gonna get. You're gonna get the guy

260
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: who's going to thread and needle and he's gonna go

261
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: out and throw the three hundred and look like okay

262
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: to Saint to the real deal in week one, and

263
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: you come out of week two and you say, I

264
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: don't know who that guy is. It's the same guy

265
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: where you seeing. So until he would come to the

266
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: consistent player and doesn't weekend a week out, I don't

267
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: trudge Jamis Winston and I don't trust him to lead

268
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: this Saints team to where ultimately they want to be.

269
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: But consistency is all for me, and I ain't seeing

270
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: it out of Jamis arch What about you, over the

271
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: course of a now seventeen game regular season, with what

272
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: you've seen from Jamis Winston, buying or selling them in

273
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: the NFC South. I'm buying I'm buying Sean Payton. I'm

274
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: buying the talent around Jamis Winston. I'm buying their defense.

275
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: They're legit on the defensive side of the football, and

276
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I think there's enough playmakers around Jamis that he can

277
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: make some plays. I would say that with Alvin Kamara

278
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: back on the field, those kind of guys can make

279
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: plays for him. Jamis Winston, he also has Sean Payton

280
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: to kind of rain him in. Was it a bad throw,

281
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. But I can go back

282
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: to look at numbers. Jamis Winston is a Tampa Bay

283
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: Buck quarterback. Against the Atlanta Falcons, he was three to

284
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: one touchdowns the interception ratio. He has the ability to

285
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: do it, and there's some mind to some other guys. Now,

286
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: I don't want to compare him to a far who's

287
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famers. There's guys that try to shove

288
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: it into coverage. Now, he makes some dumb throws and

289
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: this certainly was a dumb one this weekend. There's no

290
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: question about it. It cost his football teams team. But

291
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: I do think that he has the ability and there's

292
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: enough ability around them on that team. There's a winning

293
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: culture there. I would not bet against the Saints with

294
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston playing quarterback. It's interesting that you bring up

295
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: Sean Payton and I would. I mean, granted, look, Jamis

296
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: is not a rookie, right, He's been around the league.

297
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: But it seems like if Sean Payton can somehow some

298
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: way get through his head that we don't need the

299
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: disaster throw, right, Like, you never want to compare two quarterbacks,

300
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: especially a guy in Drew Brees that's going to be

301
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Famer. But I couldn't help

302
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: but think when Jamis made that bad throw getting pressure

303
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: falling over into double, if not triple coverage, that Drew

304
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: Brees is not going to make that mistake, right, He's

305
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: not going to throw that ball in the middle of

306
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: the field and let somebody else catch it. So if

307
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: Sean Payton can somehow some way get him away, I'm

308
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: throwing that catastrophic interception. Maybe they're competitive, but right now

309
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm selling it from with dj, I just don't know

310
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: if I see it so far, go ahead, shot, I

311
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: want to add this. I absolutely raised my hand because

312
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: I did not want to enter a rack in his

313
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: soliloquy right there. I did not want to interrupt him.

314
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: Who does that? But here's the here's the here's the

315
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: thing I want to I want to pose he arch.

316
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: You say he's got Sean Page. This is not jamis

317
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: his first year with the Saints, but it's his first

318
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: year as the starter. It don't matter. He in his

319
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: system though he's been in it for a year. That's

320
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: fine to be sitting behind the desk because I raised

321
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: my hand to ask a question. That's fine to be

322
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: sitting behind the desk and listen to Drew Brees answer

323
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: all the questions. Now you're on the field, in the

324
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: field he played last year? What did mop up duty? Here? Here?

325
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Come in? We're ahead. Come on, man, you can't compare that.

326
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he'd been in the system, like he

327
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: should not be making these same decisions, bad decisions when

328
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: he has that guy around him. And I guarantee you

329
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Sean Payton and he didn't go a whole year untail

330
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: Jami's Hey, look, wait till next year. We'll coach you

331
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: and we'll make sure you know. But I do think

332
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: though saying it to a guy and having him go

333
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: through it physically or two different things. So the only

334
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: way you get that out of you is to go

335
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: play through it. He didn't get a chance to do that. Sure,

336
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: he had a guy saying, hey, don't make that throw.

337
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: To see this throw on take, don't make that throw.

338
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: We can't have that. But he physically has to go

339
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: through that pop process. You and I were talking before

340
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: we came on. Quarterback decision making is in a split second,

341
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: and so that's not something that just immediately goes out.

342
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: It takes you a little while. You have to make

343
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: some of those mistakes before you can get through it

344
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: in that system. So I get it. I know what

345
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: you're saying. He's made those mistakes before. This is the

346
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: first time he's making those stakes. With Sean Payton sitting there,

347
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: who's going to evaluate him after the game. All right,

348
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: So you talk about making mistakes and learning from from them.

349
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Let's have a little fun here, you guys, will arch.

350
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: Let's start with you tell us about the worst throw

351
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: that you've ever made, maybe one that you made a

352
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: bad throw, and you learn from the mistake because it

353
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: was so bad. Well, this is one that all quarterbacks

354
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: and shocks made this throw too, So don't let him

355
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: kid you. He made this throw as well. We're playing

356
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine Ers right here in Atlanta

357
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: Old Fulton County Stadium, and here's young Dave Archer and

358
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: he's I can run around, I can make plays. I

359
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: got the arm to make that throw. I'm on the

360
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: dead run to the right. I'm headed towards the forty

361
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: nine ers sideline, and I'm thinking, don't make that throwback

362
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: over the middle. But it's like your body doesn't listen

363
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: to your brain and God, and throw it on the

364
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: dead run. And what's the one throw quarterback can't make

365
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: late over the middle. I was as late as can be.

366
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: The bus had already left. I was off, they had left,

367
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: and I'm throwing it over the middle. Picked off in

368
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: the red zone, not in the middle of the field,

369
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: not on my end. I took points off the board,

370
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: much like Jamis did this weekend. Horrible decision, horrible throw.

371
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: I'd like to say I learned from it rack, but

372
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I did. I think I made the

373
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: throw again another couple of times in my career, but

374
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: that was the worst one. It sticks in my mind. Here,

375
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: we got a chance to beat Joe Montana in the

376
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and I throw a yank over the

377
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: middle of the the field with us with a chance, but

378
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: points on the board. I've known you for probably about

379
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: fifteen years, okay, and I've always seen you as a

380
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 1: pretty confident guy meeting confident with yourself, maybe with your

381
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: athletic ability. And we know you can run right, you

382
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: use those legs. So tell us about one of the

383
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: worst decisions you've ever made. Throw on the football. All right.

384
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go back to college here, and we're

385
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna go to on the road my senior year. So

386
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: this means I've been around for a minute. I played

387
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: in a bunch of bunch of games, and I understand

388
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: certain throws you just can't make. We were, I mean,

389
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: Archer just talking about You're talking about Jeff George making

390
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: this unbelievable throw from one hash to the other. So

391
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: we're playing against Tennessee on the road. I'd a complete it,

392
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: probably four these out routes from one hash to the

393
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: other hash. I snapped the foot, we go play action

394
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: to the left. We're on the right half. We play

395
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: action to the left. We're throwing an out route. I

396
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: didn't completed this same out route on the same corner

397
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: at least three times in the game. I hit my

398
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: back foot as soon as I let it go. I instantly.

399
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: When I say instantly, I instantly took an angle to

400
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: go make the tackle, because before I even let it go,

401
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: I knew it was picked off. And guess what it

402
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: was picked off. I ended up hitting the guy like

403
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: the two yard line, so saving the pick six. But

404
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: it was my dumb sell that said, Okay, I didn't

405
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: completed this past four times in this game on this

406
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: same dude. He been off, and he was off on

407
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: this particular play. But as soon as I hit my

408
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: back foot and I go to let it go, he

409
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: is planted. I mean, he ain't moved, and he drives

410
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: on it, and I instantly take the angle because I

411
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: gotta go make a tackle. So terrible throw, terrible decision,

412
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: and I was just glad I was able to make

413
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: the play. Look DJ, that defensive back over there said,

414
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: this quarterback is not completely that same pass on and

415
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: out of it off, and I guess sometimes defensive players

416
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: have to guess, right, well, it sounds like he ended

417
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: up guests and write on that one. I liked that fellas.

418
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta get a little vulnerable, right, Like, Hey, yeah,

419
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: I was playing in the NFL. I was, you know,

420
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: big time SEC quarterback. But guess what I have you

421
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: ever two three bounce went back there to the to

422
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: the putter. I mean you have to have it was

423
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: the worst snap in a game, in a game, no,

424
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: not two three, But when I was in college, I

425
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: did snap one over a guy's head when I was

426
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: in college, and you know what, talk about learning from

427
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: a mistake. It was. This was my red shirt freshman year.

428
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: It was the first year that I started long snapping

429
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: at Minnesota. I'll never forget. I was at Perdue right

430
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: and I got excited, like there was there was a

431
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: rush coming at me. So I had to snap it

432
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: and get up right away to try to protect. And

433
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I hear the roar of the

434
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: crowd right when the punts going on, like and you

435
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: never heard the football hit a foot and then you

436
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: hear a crowd roar. It's like, oh, no, went over

437
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: the guy's head. At least at least you didn't hit

438
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: the up back like the forty nine Ram snapper snaps

439
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: it right into the back and it cost the Rams

440
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Uh, just a bed a little bit off target.

441
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: All right, so good. I always like the story time

442
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: stuff that. That's good. Let's get let's rain it back

443
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: in here before we close it out. Guys, we got

444
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's look ahead. Now we talked about the game,

445
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: we had a little fun. Let's look ahead for the

446
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, Giants Washington and the New York Jets next

447
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: on the schedule for them. Let's just talk about in arch.

448
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with you, if you're the head coach,

449
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: if you're a player on this team going into this stretch,

450
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: which maybe you would say is more manageable, what's the emphasis,

451
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: what's your goal in this stretch upcoming? Well, first of all,

452
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: not drink about three games. I'm thinking about one game.

453
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the Giants. And I know that that

454
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: sounds like, you know, the old adage, but it is.

455
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: They you got to get better today, the next day

456
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. That's where this team is.

457
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: They're not good enough to think about a stretch of games.

458
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: The Giants are certainly a team you can go beat.

459
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: You can also go lose to the Giants. This is

460
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: a team that's got a quarterback that can run. They

461
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: got zone read. They got se Quon Barkley, who's back

462
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: off an injury as an outstanding player. They've got three

463
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: guys on the perimeter can go make plays. They've got

464
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: two really good tight ends in Ingram and Kyle Rudolpho

465
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: comes over from the Vikings, And yeah, they've got some

466
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 1: guys on the other side of the ball that can

467
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: rush you. So I think that this I think the

468
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: number one scenario is let's just get one. Let's go

469
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: get a win. Let's win this quarter. Let's win this quarter,

470
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: and let's put four quarters together. The inconsistency, let's get

471
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: that out and let's play four quarters of football where

472
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: we win each quarter, you know, and if we can

473
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: win each quarter, hey, I think we're gonna like what

474
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: it looks like at the end if we win all

475
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: four quarters. And then we'll worry about the Washington team,

476
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: because I think they create two different problems. Washington. We're

477
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: going to the NFC East here, get the Giants first,

478
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: and then we get Washington back here in Atlanta. Washington's

479
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: a different team to me than than we're New York.

480
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Is in New York scrambling too. Now they're hearing it.

481
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 1: That's the New York media up there. They've lost two straight.

482
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: They lost a game, or they made a stupid mistake

483
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the Washington game, or they jumped

484
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: offside on the field goal, gave them a chance to

485
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: rerack it. Rerack, how about that kick it through off

486
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: the cuff right there? At kick it through so they

487
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: get the win, and so they you're leaving, we should

488
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: have won that game and you're lost. So they're hearing

489
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: it up there, so they're hearing the same thing our

490
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: guys are hearing down there. So I think it's just

491
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: at about focusing on this moment and trying to win

492
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: each quarter. Rack. Yeah, I mean us players, that's what

493
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna focus on one game. So DJ,

494
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: I'll throw it back to you. If we're gonna talk

495
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: about winning the next game, give me one scenario or

496
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: situation that the Falcons have to do better or win

497
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: for them to win the game against the Giants. For me,

498
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of obvious, and it happened in the first

499
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: two ball games. I think you have to win special teams. Obviously,

500
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: that's a big part of the game. And I mean

501
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: artists talked about it. Where you have a sequence in

502
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: the game where some players don't happen, that you have

503
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: a bad punt, or you have a bad situation where

504
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: you don't change field position. That's the quickest way for

505
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: a team to game moll minium. That's the quickest way

506
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: for a team to feel good about this up it is, Hey,

507
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: we got great field position, let's go get some points.

508
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: Let's go put stress on another team. You expect your

509
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: offense and defense to play up to the standard in

510
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: which they're posed to play. They're gonna make plays. Things

511
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: are gonna happen. You get obviously, you get sixty seventy

512
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: plays in a ball game on offense or defense. Special

513
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: teams you may get four or five a game, and

514
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: reck you talked about it. There are always three or

515
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: four players in the game that sometimes determined an outcome.

516
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: And let's just say you don't have the right field position,

517
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: or you can change field position with the punt, or

518
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: get somebody within the ten yard lone, you talk them

519
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: on kick returning, you get inside of fifteen, whatever it

520
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: may be. Make a team go full feel if you

521
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: can win special team, that gives you a chance to

522
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: win the ball game. So I'm expecting this team to

523
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: play a lot better in the special teams part of

524
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: the ball game because we saw offense come on, we

525
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: saw defense has some good moments in the last couple

526
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: of ball games. Now let's see the third phase come

527
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: in as will and pick up that shlack and also

528
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: have a big part of the helping the team win. Yeah.

529
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: I agree with that, DJ, and I would just add

530
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: on top of it, I would like to see we

531
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about consistency or maybe more inconsistencies.

532
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: I would like to see some more consistency on the

533
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, and I think we'll see a more consistent

534
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: performance of the offense being able to move the chains

535
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: and everything if we can get things cleaned up a

536
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: little bit in front of Matt when he's trying to

537
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: sort things out defensively down the field. So let's got

538
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: to wrap it up, guys. I enjoy having the fun.

539
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: I think I might enjoy you guys talking about the

540
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: bad parts of your career. You're at plasis. So the

541
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: guys that are helping us put the show together, let's

542
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: make sure that we have more things where DJ and

543
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: Arch could talk about what they did poorly careers as

544
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: it turns As it turns out, that might be the

545
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: predominant part of what I would be talking about. Unfortunately,

546
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: what is it in baseball? You hit three hundred, you

547
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: fail seven out of ten times, but you're considered a

548
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: great player. Okay, completions, what shack? We got a shock?

549
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: We got to complete six out of ten, So you

550
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: fail four times? Pretty good? Yeah, right now, maybe mine

551
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: might have been the other way around. I don't know. Yeah,

552
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: plenty of average days that have no problem taking a

553
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: little shoulder of their mistakes. I enjoy it. Okay, on

554
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: behalf with DJ Shockley and Dave Archer. That is the
