WEBVTT - Press Pass: DeMeco Ryans

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>They present, you know, a nice running game with the

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 1>outside running game. But also, I mean the biggest, the

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>biggest story that is Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Those

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>are two big time playmakers. So we know they're gonna

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>try to get the ball to Julio Julio as much

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>as they can, and which they should because he's he's

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>a dynamic player. Just start the season off with this

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>team to wave. Oh, I'm very excited for a season

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>to start. I mean, we've been gearing up for this

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:40.959
<v Speaker 1>thing for a while now. It seems to like I've

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>been waiting forever for the season to get gone. But

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>now it is actually here. Really, you know, we're overly

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>excited and you know, happy to kick it off on

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Monday night. Yeah. I do anticipate, anticipate playing on on

0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Monday night. Again, coach Coach Davis will monitor the raps

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>or see how much I play, but I do anticipate playing.

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Watch film. What do you watch because obviously there's there's

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>a small sampha size of games with this Yeah, it's

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it's tough men. You go back and try to watch

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>the offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who and I spent some

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>time with him in Houston, so kind of he's still

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:24.199
<v Speaker 1>running similar plays. So nothing nothing, nothing much has changed,

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.479
<v Speaker 1>you know. You checking out a new team, we always

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>look at the coordinator and where he's been and the

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>type of play structures that he likes to run. So yeah,

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it is, it is. You don't have we don't have

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>many tendencies, So it's it's kind of like a preseason game,

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you don't have many tendencies to go

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>off of because again they're starters. Matt Ryan didn't play

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>much during the preseason, so there's not much to go

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>off of, you know, being that they have a new

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>coaching style and Michael and the old basis of all right,

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I know it'll works out. You know. However, however, things

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, shape out between myself, Michael and Kiko, I

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>know it all work itself out and whatever's best for

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.239
<v Speaker 1>our team moving forward, that we can have two good

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>linebackers out there at the time. You know, whatever it

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:22.679
<v Speaker 1>takes you, it'll work out. To get the team's expectations

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.799
<v Speaker 1>services whatever they expects from the city. A lot of

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna do. How do you get to get

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>balance that? Yeah, well, we always have high expectations for ourselves.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>If we didn't there was you know, then there's no

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>purpose of coming to word, no purpose of you know,

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>going through training camp and all the off season work

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't have high expectations for your team. So again,

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>we as much as our fans on the outside have

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>high hopes for us, just believe that ours is our team.

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Our expectations are even higher if you just get it

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>out of the way and just getting the sources went

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>forever for the ball, the things the team and went

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>for them are you guys? I think it's going well,

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>but that process will continue to go throughout the season.

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.399
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, we're you know where we want

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to be right now, but their process will continue to

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 1>will continue to grow as a team as the season

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>goes on. To me, but you had you've been here

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>through a few different defensive coordinators. What is it about

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>Bill Davis that really is kind of like, uh, what

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean? What is he like? What is he a teacher?

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>And what is it what are his attributes that are

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>his strengths? Bill is a is a is a teacher,

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and Bill is not afraid to make any any calls.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, Bill has been around for a long time.

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>He's he's very knowledgeable, a very knowledgeable coach, and you know,

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>he always has an answer for you, whatever course and

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you have, he always has an answer for you. So

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 1>it's been great working with Bill over the past few years.

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think he's a he's a really

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>great coordinator. We guys gave up a lot of Figer

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>players last year. It must be a pretty good test

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>out of the gate against the guy like Ryan Lulio

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Jones to see how much you guys have improved from

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that as It will be a big test for us

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and our our main focus has been keeping keeping the

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>ex plays off of us. And uh, you know that

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>this will be a main focus because of you know,

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the great quarterback that they have and Matt Ryan. We

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>know he can he can get it down field and

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>he has you know, some receivers to get it too.

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>So you know, if we talk about stopping the ex plays,

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>we have our mats going up on Monday night. Is

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>there any concern about sort amping off to sixty minutes?

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You know the conditioning watch because you guys generally see

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of reps because of how fast your offense goes,

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>So we amp up conditioning. Yeah, I mean it's difficult

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>because you haven't hadding many reps in the preseason. Oh no,

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>it won't be difficult at all, you guys, thank you,

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>all right, thank you,
