Speaker 1: They present, you know, a nice running game with the
Speaker 1: outside running game. But also, I mean the biggest, the
Speaker 1: biggest story that is Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Those
Speaker 1: are two big time playmakers. So we know they're gonna
Speaker 1: try to get the ball to Julio Julio as much
Speaker 1: as they can, and which they should because he's he's
Speaker 1: a dynamic player. Just start the season off with this
Speaker 1: team to wave. Oh, I'm very excited for a season
Speaker 1: to start. I mean, we've been gearing up for this
Speaker 1: thing for a while now. It seems to like I've
Speaker 1: been waiting forever for the season to get gone. But
Speaker 1: now it is actually here. Really, you know, we're overly
Speaker 1: excited and you know, happy to kick it off on
Speaker 1: Monday night. Yeah. I do anticipate, anticipate playing on on
Speaker 1: Monday night. Again, coach Coach Davis will monitor the raps
Speaker 1: or see how much I play, but I do anticipate playing.
Speaker 1: Watch film. What do you watch because obviously there's there's
Speaker 1: a small sampha size of games with this Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's tough men. You go back and try to watch
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who and I spent some
Speaker 1: time with him in Houston, so kind of he's still
Speaker 1: running similar plays. So nothing nothing, nothing much has changed,
Speaker 1: you know. You checking out a new team, we always
Speaker 1: look at the coordinator and where he's been and the
Speaker 1: type of play structures that he likes to run. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it is, it is. You don't have we don't have
Speaker 1: many tendencies, So it's it's kind of like a preseason game,
Speaker 1: you know, because you don't have many tendencies to go
Speaker 1: off of because again they're starters. Matt Ryan didn't play
Speaker 1: much during the preseason, so there's not much to go
Speaker 1: off of, you know, being that they have a new
Speaker 1: coaching style and Michael and the old basis of all right,
Speaker 1: I know it'll works out. You know. However, however, things
Speaker 1: you know, shape out between myself, Michael and Kiko, I
Speaker 1: know it all work itself out and whatever's best for
Speaker 1: our team moving forward, that we can have two good
Speaker 1: linebackers out there at the time. You know, whatever it
Speaker 1: takes you, it'll work out. To get the team's expectations
Speaker 1: services whatever they expects from the city. A lot of
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do. How do you get to get
Speaker 1: balance that? Yeah, well, we always have high expectations for ourselves.
Speaker 1: If we didn't there was you know, then there's no
Speaker 1: purpose of coming to word, no purpose of you know,
Speaker 1: going through training camp and all the off season work
Speaker 1: if you didn't have high expectations for your team. So again,
Speaker 1: we as much as our fans on the outside have
Speaker 1: high hopes for us, just believe that ours is our team.
Speaker 1: Our expectations are even higher if you just get it
Speaker 1: out of the way and just getting the sources went
Speaker 1: forever for the ball, the things the team and went
Speaker 1: for them are you guys? I think it's going well,
Speaker 1: but that process will continue to go throughout the season.
Speaker 1: I think you know, we're you know where we want
Speaker 1: to be right now, but their process will continue to
Speaker 1: will continue to grow as a team as the season
Speaker 1: goes on. To me, but you had you've been here
Speaker 1: through a few different defensive coordinators. What is it about
Speaker 1: Bill Davis that really is kind of like, uh, what
Speaker 1: I mean? What is he like? What is he a teacher?
Speaker 1: And what is it what are his attributes that are
Speaker 1: his strengths? Bill is a is a is a teacher,
Speaker 1: and Bill is not afraid to make any any calls.
Speaker 1: You know, Bill has been around for a long time.
Speaker 1: He's he's very knowledgeable, a very knowledgeable coach, and you know,
Speaker 1: he always has an answer for you, whatever course and
Speaker 1: you have, he always has an answer for you. So
Speaker 1: it's been great working with Bill over the past few years.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think he's a he's a really
Speaker 1: great coordinator. We guys gave up a lot of Figer
Speaker 1: players last year. It must be a pretty good test
Speaker 1: out of the gate against the guy like Ryan Lulio
Speaker 1: Jones to see how much you guys have improved from
Speaker 1: that as It will be a big test for us
Speaker 1: and our our main focus has been keeping keeping the
Speaker 1: ex plays off of us. And uh, you know that
Speaker 1: this will be a main focus because of you know,
Speaker 1: the great quarterback that they have and Matt Ryan. We
Speaker 1: know he can he can get it down field and
Speaker 1: he has you know, some receivers to get it too.
Speaker 1: So you know, if we talk about stopping the ex plays,
Speaker 1: we have our mats going up on Monday night. Is
Speaker 1: there any concern about sort amping off to sixty minutes?
Speaker 1: You know the conditioning watch because you guys generally see
Speaker 1: a lot of reps because of how fast your offense goes,
Speaker 1: So we amp up conditioning. Yeah, I mean it's difficult
Speaker 1: because you haven't hadding many reps in the preseason. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it won't be difficult at all, you guys, thank you,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you,
