00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: He got that.

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 3: He's into it. I'm telling me he is like lit because.

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: To start threat. Yeah, I can get chills a little

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: bit thinking about what these two guys can do.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: The Falcon's audible, presented by AT and T is back.

14

Speaker 1: Your three are here. That's DJ Shock. He's always throwing

Speaker 1: it up no matter what the circumstances are. That's Dave Archer.

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm Derek Brackley here. We're gonna break down as best

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: we can of thirty four to ten Falcons lost to

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, and then we'll go ahead and turn

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: the page and we'll talk about New England Patriots because

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: that's the next on the dock in the only game

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: that matters is the next game. However, but when you're

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: in our business. You got to go back and you

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: got to look, you got to talk to and I'm

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: sure a lot of you that are listening and watching

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: want to hear us tell you why or how, why

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: or how did that game happen?

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: Arch.

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with you. If you go back

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: before the season started and you started looking at the calendar,

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: and this is where you can fall into a trap,

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: right you can fall into a trap in the National

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Football You can see three games that say Miami, New England, Indianapolis,

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: and you're like, gosh, that's a favorable stretch right there.

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: And then you actually start playing football game and you

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: actually played a game, and you get a one in

36
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: six Dolphins team that's playing upset, playing inspired, playing motivated

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: because they got absolutely called out the previous week, they

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: got embarrassed the previous week, the previous two weeks, if

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: you will. And when you look up and you got

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: two teams in the Patriots Division leader, Colt's Division leader,

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league, leading the

42
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: National Football League and scoring you know what, that thing

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: that you circled that looked like pretty manageable games not

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: so much anymore much. But let's talk about this Dolphins

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: game arch because it was a situation where Atlanta, coming

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: off a poor performance against San Francisco, thinking this has

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: got to be a bounce back game. You're facing a

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: team that's reeling, You're facing a team and a quarterback

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: that's given the football away, okay, and so you're thinking,

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: we're licking our chops defensive side, right, We're licking our

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: chops because we're gonna have a chance for takeaways. We're

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: licking our chops offensively because there were not a good

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: run defense statistically, and then everything but that happened, no takeaways,

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: two of throws for four touchdowns, no picks, and they

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: absolutely shut down the run game. How in the world

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: did it just completely three sixty round?

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: No, it's the National Football League, right, you're not ready

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: to play, and not saying that the team wasn't and

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: the Falcons were ready to play. I think I think

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: you give more accolades and and maybe shine the light

61
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: a little bit more on Miami as opposed to what

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: Atlanta didn't do. But Atlanta contributed to that performance by

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: Tua and and by the Dolphin defense. But I think

64
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: that when you when you look at and you try

65
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: to kind of dig down deep as to why this

66
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: game went a certain way. It starts great, I mean,

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: you go three and out on defense, got a really

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: cool design. Defensively, they run motion across, nobody goes with

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: him as you're thinking zone. If you're Tua right shock,

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: you're thinking zone. Then all a sudden boom, here come

71
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: two guys off the edge. They get the quarterback on

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: the ground. Couldn't have started any better with a sack.

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: D Afford comes in and gets the sack, with Ellis

74
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: coming clean as well. So you start perfectly. You get

75
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: the football and dysfunction begins. You run it twice for nothing,

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: and then they run a they run a three man

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: stunt to the left side. Here comes a guy clean

78
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: and Kirk's face. He barely gets it out to pits.

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: And so you start sleepily, if that's such a word,

80
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: sleepily offensively, though sleepily offensively. And then they get the

81
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: football and would they go on a nineteen play drive

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: or something like that to move move it down the field.

83
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: So when you dig through the minutia, for me, guys,

84
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: is it's okay, why did the defense get run on?

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: And all that kind you can talk about, Okay, what

86
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: they're doing schematically, all this kind of stuff, extra offensive

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 2: line in the game, whatever you want to talk about.

88
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: You're on the field too much defensively, Okay, you're on

89
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: the field for thirty eight minutes. Okay, at some point

90
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to figure out how to attack you. On

91
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: the conversely, on the other side, you were four for

92
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: fifteen and third in conversion situations. That counts third down

93
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: and fourth down. That contributes to what happened to your defense.

94
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: You can say, well, what's the best way to help

95
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: our defense stop the run. Don't have them on the

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: field for thirty eight minutes. And so the offense was

97
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 2: dysfunctional in conversion situations. And it wasn't third and long, guys,

98
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: it was fourth and three, third and five, and you

99
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: didn't you didn't convert. So what leads to that, It

100
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: leads to there's a number of things. You can talk

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: about design of offense, and you can talk about all

102
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: the things, but ultimately it's about executing the plays, executing

103
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: your job at the highest possible level. And we didn't

104
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: play well up front. We didn't play well at the

105
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: quarterback position, and I didn't think we overly were decisive

106
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: from a wide receiver standpoint. Other than that, we were

107
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: pretty good.

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: On those three things that you said, though were awfully.

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: Large. Shock.

110
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to repeat this because different audience. But on

111
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: the pregame show, Taylor was talking to me, this was

112
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: post San Francisco about thinking back to my career and

113
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: how do you find consistency? Okay? And so I went

114
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: back and I'm going, I'm gonna kind of quiz you

115
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: guys here because this is two thousand and four season, okay,

116
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: And that season we had two separate four game winning streaks.

117
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: I said, well, how do you get consistent? Is you

118
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: got to find winning streaks, right. You got to find

119
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: a way to put yourself in position to where you're

120
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: looking at postseason. That only happens by winning games. And

121
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: when you're struggling, you gotta find ways to stack one

122
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: after another after another. But I said, yeah, that's all elementary.

123
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: It's like Rack, I understand, you gotta win games. You

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: gotta get on a winning streak. That's fine, and Andy,

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: how do you do it? Okay? And I said, that

126
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: year we did what we did best better than anybody else,

127
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: and we ran the football. Okay, both four game streaks

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: we averaged like I want to say it was one

129
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty or one hundred and seventy rushing yards

130
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: a game, and then it was like one hundred and

131
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: eighty five rushing yards a game. Like we absolutely dominated

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: in the ground game. Now fast forward to twenty twenty five, Fellas,

133
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: what does Atlanta do really well? Like they're a running

134
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: football team, Like their offensive line has been together for

135
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: a long time. They got one of the most dynamic

136
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: running backs in the National Football League, and then they

137
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: have the bowling ball of razor blades behind it. Right

138
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: as I say that, correct, you nailed it, center road shock.

139
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: What we do best has disappeared, and that's a problem.

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 3: It is a problem. And when you hang your hat

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: on that particular part of the game and it doesn't

142
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: work and you have to adjust, that's when that's when

143
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: things start to spiral out of control for you and

144
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: things don't really go as playing. And I think the

145
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks, when we haven't been able to

146
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: run the football or we haven't dominated the line of scrimmage,

147
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: and then we have to turn to somebody else and

148
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: it's not really what our forte is. Then there's when

149
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 3: things start to come up and Artie mentioned it didn't

150
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: think that you know on the outside that you know,

151
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: you played relatively well. When I watch the game, I

152
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: go back and look at it, and then I think

153
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: about it more. You think about how hard it was

154
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: for completions, how tough it was. Everything it felt like

155
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: was contested. Everything felt like if a guy caught the wall,

156
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: there was a guy there, or it was a Really

157
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: it was just hard to get yards, it felt like.

158
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: And are actual had a great job of talking about

159
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: some of the things that obviously that has struggled for

160
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: us offensively with when it comes to the run game,

161
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: and you know, having guys been able to you know,

162
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: change the line of scrimmage on I mean a prime

163
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: example is, you know, on the three four yard line

164
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: and we down to get a safety because there's pushback

165
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: in the backfield first and then you got to run

166
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: through by the backer. That's something that obviously they seen

167
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: on tape from last week. Run blitzes, run calls, and

168
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: certain things tell defensive guys, hey, this is what's coming.

169
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: And I think ultimately it just comes down to a mindset,

170
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 3: to be honest, and for years we've always talked about

171
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: it's third and one fourth and one, and they know

172
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: you're gonna run the football. Oh well, okay, they know it,

173
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: stop it. And I think the mindset has to get

174
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: back to just being the more physical. Ultimately comes down

175
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: to that guy in front of you. You moving that

176
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: guy in front of you or not. And ultimately, last

177
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: I think a couple last couple of weeks, we haven't

178
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: done that, and that's been probably the biggest issue. And

179
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: then when we can't run the football, it's say, okay,

180
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: let's try to use play action. Let's try to use

181
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: stuff that how you go use play action when you're

182
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: not running football with respecting it. So, but that's part

183
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: of your that's part of your game plan, that's part

184
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: of who you are in offense, and it's how you

185
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: set certain things up. So it's tough to be able

186
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: to to to have things go with other things if

187
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: the first part of it is not working with which

188
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: you run the football.

189
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Guys, there is an element to this of players not playing. Okay,

190
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna just I'm not gonna talk just about Atlanta.

191
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: I want to give you some examples from around the league. Okay,

192
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens have been ravaged on defense, and their quarterback

193
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: has not played the last two games. Ravens struggling. Okay,

194
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: then you flip over to the NFC. Just think about this, Giants,

195
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: what have they done? Made a quarterback change? Okay, Vikings

196
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: quarterback's been injured. They had to They've had to pivot.

197
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: All right.

198
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: By the way, these two, both of these teams are

199
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: at the bottom of their division. Saints quarterback issues, a

200
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: lot of other things going on, bottom of the division,

201
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: all right, Cardinals Kyler Murray, he got hurt. They've had

202
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: to go to the backup quarterback. They're two and five.

203
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: Even the forty nine ers at their five and three,

204
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback has been hurt. However, Mac Jones comes

205
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: in and he's been playing really well. The moral of

206
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: the story, fellas is when your starter in the NFL

207
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: is not playing, that is a bad thing. Okay, there's

208
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: not too many backups in the National Football League that

209
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: come out and they actually take the league by storm.

210
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: Then when you compound, there's no Jaylen Walker, there's no

211
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: Zach Harrison, obviously no Drake London in the game. We

212
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: see what type of difference maker he is. Arch how

213
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: much can you attribute to Diablo those guys that have

214
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: been mainstays at their positions not in the lineup.

215
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: Well, if you're overly dependent on the guys that are out,

216
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: which I think applies to what who Shock just mentioned

217
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: Divine Diablo. You felt you got him in free agency

218
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: and you thought, Okay, he'll blend nicely into the defense.

219
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: He hasn't just blended nicely in the defense. He might

220
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: be the best player on defense based on what we

221
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: try to do because of his versatility. We saw that

222
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: this weekend because they tried to expose his backup in coverage,

223
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: which is what Divine Diablo did in college. He was

224
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: a safety and they've converted into a linebacker. So I

225
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: hear what you're saying about guys being out, And certainly

226
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: you contribute some of the drop off from an offensive

227
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: standpoint or a defensive standpoint to guys not being on

228
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: the field. But everybody's dealing with that. You just mentioned

229
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of teams, and some of them are struggling,

230
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: some of them are not. We played the forty nine

231
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: ers on a Sunday night and they had both their

232
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: inside linebackers are gone. You'd have thought we were playing

233
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: the eighty five Bears. I mean they were coming downhill

234
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: stop in the run game, So I think that that

235
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: can be overblown a little bit from a missing And

236
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: Pennix has only been out one game, so what happened

237
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: prior to that? He was in the game in Carolina,

238
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: He was in the game in San Francisco, So I

239
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: think that So now you have to dive deeper into it.

240
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: And when I look at people being able to gang

241
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: up on the run, why are they able to stop

242
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: the run game? What's going on with our run game?

243
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: Are we getting away from it too quickly? Or are

244
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: there some tells that are giving teams now that they

245
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: have tape on how to defend Bajan Robinson and Tyler Aljier.

246
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: I'm leaning towards the ladder in that situation. So now,

247
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: Zach Robinson, I'm sure he's over in the library right

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 2: now with you know, or in the in the laboratory

249
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 2: right now with with TJ. Yeats and Coach Williams and

250
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: all those guys, Coach Petrie trying to figure out how

251
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: do we show them what we've been doing and have

252
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: counters off of it. And some of that has to

253
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: do with what shock'say in if they're going to come

254
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 2: downhill and stop the run. We have to touch them

255
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: in the passing game, and that means play action. I

256
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: got to show run and I got to show what

257
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: I normally show with Baijon, and it's got to mesh

258
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: with our our play action game. If you can do that,

259
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: there's gonna be explosives all over the field. Also, we

260
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: don't have I don't want to be brutally honest here,

261
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: but we don't have man beater guys on the perimeter.

262
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: You've got one guy if Drake's out, because Drake can

263
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: do it from a basketball perspective. He also runs better

264
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: than people think he does. But you've got one man

265
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: beater on the perimeter as long as Bijan's in the backfield.

266
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: That's Darnell Mooney. So I've got to create opportunities if

267
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna see man coverage, and get ready, Vrabel's gonna

268
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: play man coverage because they're gonna do the same thing

269
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: they've seen last coup. And that's what they do anyway,

270
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: is they try to crowd the line of scrimmage and

271
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: they play man. They trust their secondary and what they've

272
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: seen on tape is Atlanta can't beat you if we

273
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: play man coverage, so I've got to get guys running

274
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: away from people so I can make some throws on

275
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: the move to guys run away. And Mooney, to me,

276
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: is a guy that we're running him on deep post routes.

277
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: In all honesty, guys, if I was going to pick

278
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: a guy for a fifty to fifty guy that's going

279
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: to be tight covered, that's not the guy I'm picking.

280
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: But if I got Mooney run and shallow crossing route

281
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: and a guy's trying to trail him, I like that.

282
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to get him the football. He's explosive. But

283
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: these are just these things that I'm seeing. Nobody's telling

284
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: me this or anything like that, And there are things

285
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: you can you can you can create and things you

286
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: can do. So as much as I want to run

287
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: the football, I think you got to do some of

288
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: the house.

289
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: I want both of you guys to chime in on

290
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: this because you make a great point as far as

291
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: how do you run away from the defense and create

292
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: some explosive plays, And you were kind of alluding to

293
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of speed. But I want to

294
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: counter back, and I want to say, what about guys

295
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: like Puka Nakua, Cooper cup Lad mcconki. I wouldn't necessarily

296
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: say those guys are run away from the defense. So

297
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: how do those guys get so much success when you

298
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: maybe have more possession route runners and not necessarily create

299
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: separation from coverage.

300
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: Well, you're creating it by the route you're running. Shock.

301
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: You know, you run a shallow drag route. You know,

302
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: if I get the guy in a trail position and

303
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: I stare step him, boom, all of a sudden, I've

304
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: got to create I've got separation. And by the way,

305
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: Nikua can run pretty well, and so can maconkey. But

306
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: but all these guys can run to a certain extent,

307
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: create them an opportunity to beat man coverage. I think

308
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: there's too many to me. If I'm a quarter and

309
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it from our perspective, shock, if I

310
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: see a team that's going to play man coverage, I

311
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: want the option for my guys to read it out.

312
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: And if it's man boom, I'm running away and running away.

313
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: I don't mean running away because of his speed. I'm

314
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: talking about running away because of the way the route,

315
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: what the route is. I don't want guys running a

316
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: stop route I'm helping the guy defend her out, you know.

317
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: But I've got to have those readout plays, and we

318
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: have those in the system where they're reading coverage. If

319
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: it's man boom, I'm running away. If it's zone, I'm

320
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: getting in a hole and I'm sitting down. And those

321
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: of the kind of things that I think we're a

322
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: little bit distunction on. Not that we don't have it

323
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: in the system. I think Zach's calling it. We've got

324
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: to execute it better. That's why I get back to

325
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: the execution in Shock.

326
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: He makes a great point because and I can say

327
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: from my tight end days and practice and everything that

328
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: a lot of route running and getting open is using

329
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: little things to your advantage. Like I think you could

330
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: look at a guy like DeVante Adams now later in

331
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: his career, DeAndre Hopkins, right, One of these guys do

332
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: really well. Is they know how to use their body,

333
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: They know how to set defenders up, and they know

334
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: how to create separation because maybe they're not as quick

335
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: and fast as they used to be, but they're so

336
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: savvy shock that the nuances of route running, they understand

337
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: all that, and they understand where the defense is trying

338
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: to attack and then how do I counter that to

339
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: get myself even more open, to show the quarterback that

340
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: he can throw me the football.

341
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: Guy that instantly ran into my brain as you talked

342
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: about that. It was a guy that I saw. Aren't

343
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: you called his games rack? You do him like it's yesterday.

344
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: I mean Tony Gonzalez. How about Tony Gonzalez? The guy

345
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: was maybe for nine, maybe for nine running, But how

346
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: many times did he creates separation by his routes? And

347
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 3: you would see him come out and it would be,

348
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: you know, methodical and whatever you want, and then all

349
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden he's created three four yards separation by

350
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: the way he moves the nuances at the top of

351
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: the route using his body to create the space. Guys

352
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: like that understand space, understand leverage of players, and I

353
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 3: think that's part of it too, is understanding that if

354
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: you're not as fast, you gotta be able to use

355
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: those small little details within a route that gets you open.

356
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: I think that's what Drake does really well. He does

357
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: a really good job of those option routes or when

358
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: he's running those circus routes, and you know he's trying

359
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: to lean on the guy to create it to as

360
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: he's going out, he knows exactly what to do to

361
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: lean on the guy. I mean the touchdown he had

362
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: a few weeks back where he's, you know, in the

363
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: end zone, he stems a guy, he goes vertical and

364
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: then he stems him out to the left to create

365
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: space from him in the safety and then all of

366
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 3: a sudden, boom, he hooks it really quickly. Like those

367
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: small things give you an opportunity to win on routes,

368
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: even in small spaces, and I think that's part of

369
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 3: the game that I think a lot of guys are

370
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: still learning maybe that are running these particular routes. And

371
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: then the other part is what Archi mentioned was the

372
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 3: execution part of it. We had a fourth down call

373
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: in the ballgame and we throw the fade out to

374
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: Cadero and regardless of you know, the throw, I felt

375
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: the decision and execution of it wasn't there. And that's

376
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: part of the small little things of winning in games

377
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 3: that helps you sustain drives, helps you continue to go

378
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 3: and mentioned money, Maybe that's not the guy you want

379
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: to throw fourth and three fade out to. We love Hodge,

380
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: He's played great for us, but maybe that's not the

381
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 3: one you want to do. There's somebody else who can win,

382
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: probably on the out side, that gives you a chance

383
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: to convert that. And I just they were pointing a

384
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: ball game where the execution, decision making a thought was

385
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: not where it should be and the ball should have

386
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: went somewhere else as opposed to where it went.

387
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: So dead on, So dead on. I mean, you got

388
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: a three by one set, You've got Kadaro Hodge matched

389
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: up on a six to two corner, okay, and I'm

390
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: gonna run a fade okay. One Cadara didn't run a

391
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: great route because he gets pinched to the sideline. But

392
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: I mean, glance over there. Sure you want to take

393
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: a look at shots. As quarterbacks were taught, there's a

394
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: shot play built into almost everything. Unless it's quick game,

395
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: there's a shot played built in. Take a glance. If

396
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: he wins clean, boom, put it on him. But if

397
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: it's side by side, he's in his hip pocket. I'm

398
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: getting off of that and I'm coming back to the

399
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: So decision making that's part of the execution, whether you

400
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: run the route, and like you're talking about route rack,

401
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: where you there's definitive stuff at the top, whether it's

402
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: you know, DeVante Adams or whether it's David Sills. I

403
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: get to the top of my route and I get

404
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: a little pressure break to create that separation versus man coverage.

405
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: I've got that. I've got that little idio secrecy that

406
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: I know from a from a quarterback standpoint, I know

407
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 2: what my guy's doing from body language, stand up boom,

408
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: I can get the ball out. I create that separation.

409
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: The difference between what you guys did in O four

410
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: and what we're doing now is Number seven ran the

411
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: football out the backside of your run game. So now

412
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, my run game goes like this

413
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 2: because seven Michael Vick is going out this way, Warwick

414
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: Dunn's going this way, And I'm looking at it from

415
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: a defensi standpoint, I better get upfield to defend the bootleg.

416
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: I can't crash the run game. What we're seeing in

417
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: on tape, if you look at it, we're getting guys

418
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: crashing the backside of the run game. Now you're not

419
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: going to get that from Kirk, but Pennix has the

420
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: ability to do those kind of things, and if Michael

421
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: can be healthy, hopefully you know, knock on Wood. Hopefully

422
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: Mike's ready to go this week. That's almost something that

423
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: you almost got to tell him, Hey, you need to

424
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: take that. And if we're gonna see a guy this

425
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 2: weekend in Drake May, you go look at the tape

426
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: of Drake May. He's doing those he's taking off, you know,

427
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: and he's not Michael Vick, but he's very athletic. You've

428
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: seen it. Michael's gonna have to build some of that

429
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: into his game or he's aggressive that if you want

430
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: to rush me and drop off, I'm gonna go get

431
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: me eight, I'm gonna go get fifteen. I'm gonna go

432
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: run for a first down. Then you're gonna have to

433
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: come up and try to make sure you defend me.

434
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: Now of a sudden, that intermediate area comes a little

435
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: bit more open. I can throw those guys open because

436
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: they don't want to give me that much room to

437
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: get out. So there's some things that guys are gonna

438
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: have to develop their games, take their games to another level.

439
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: Michael's one of them. There's another other guys that have

440
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: to take their game to another level. This is why,

441
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: to me, this is a myriad of things everybody wants

442
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: to put their finger on one thing. Oh, the offensive

443
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: coordinator is not getting his job done, so we need

444
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: to do something there. That's not what it is. He

445
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: he's culpable some point, you know, to a certain extent,

446
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: and he knows that. That's why he's grinding over here

447
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: right now, trying to get stuff ready for this game.

448
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: But there's guys from an execution standpoint that have to

449
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: take their game to another level. We're kind of in

450
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 2: that kind of that fifth grade level of the offense

451
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: because we got a bunch of young dudes. They need

452
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: to grow up a little bit and take their game

453
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: to another level.

454
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: So one quick thing, reck, sorry for you go up.

455
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: I looked at you and laugh because you said something

456
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: to me that you mentioned four. I got here in

457
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: O six and I remember sitting in the meeting rooms

458
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: with Mike with Greg neat Rest in Peace, and there

459
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: were times where that same play that you would say,

460
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 3: all right, here's go, we's running outside zone. But Mike,

461
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 3: if you see that backside in crashing, you pull it,

462
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: you just go. I mean it was literally said the

463
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: way you just said. That's why I laughed that Nat

464
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: would literally say just take it, just do something with it,

465
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: because guess what. We got to get that guy to

466
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 3: respect the backside. And there would literally be times where

467
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: we will work on in practice, like okay, we're we're

468
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: going to the left, and you would peak as you

469
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: cut up the line of scrims, looking at that backside

470
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: in to see how sharp he is coming on that line.

471
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 3: And if he came eating flatter, it was take off him,

472
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 3: take it and run. It was go. And that was

473
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: maybe four or five six plays in the ballgame where

474
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 3: you just would take it and go because that backside in,

475
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: but it gave you that respect that you needed. You say,

476
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: some guys just have to take that in. And that's

477
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: kind of what Nap would tell Michael, just hey, look

478
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: if they not gonna respect the backside, I don't care

479
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: what is you just pull it and go. So you

480
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: can you can go back on the table. You can

481
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 3: see literally he looked back and you see that guy

482
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: he just takes off and go. He picks up eight nine,

483
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: ten yards. Next time they go, Wison, guess what, that

484
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 3: guy's slow playing it. He ain't crashing down anymore. Ye.

485
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: That cut back and that provides all that stuff. As

486
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: you guys know backside too, we're getting the ball deep

487
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: enough out of the pistol. One of the problem, one

488
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: of the reasons we're in the pistol to run that

489
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: stuff is to get in the ball deep enough where

490
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 2: he can stratch it, hit it, cut it back. Well,

491
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: I can't cut back if the backside guy's crashing, So

492
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: you're exactly right.

493
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: The last thing I'll say about I know we're not

494
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, and there's a lot of

495
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: people listening and watching them, probably like I don't remember that.

496
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: All I remember is Michael Vick was really good and

497
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: it's really fast, and that's one hundred percent correct. However,

498
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: the last thing I'll say, and I think you guys

499
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: would both agree, is that that year and that time period,

500
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: we ran the inside and outside zone better than anybody

501
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And that was because that

502
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: was all we worked on. We weren't a man team,

503
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: we weren't pulling guards all over the place. It was

504
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: inside outside zone, and if you didn't hit your landmarks,

505
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: Alex Gibbs was ripping you out of there, and you

506
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: weren't playing that right. But that's what it gets back

507
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: to is can you do something extremely well that the defense,

508
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: no matter how they play it, you're going to block

509
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: it better, right, And that's what the National Football League

510
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: gets to is is your technique and your mechanics and

511
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: your fundamentals has to get so good that doesn't matter

512
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: what they do, you're still gonna be able to block

513
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: it up front. Sure, all right, let's move on because

514
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: we've got the paid this week. You guys talked a

515
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: little bit about this week already. Drake May is playing

516
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: at an extremely high level. Drake May's not only playing

517
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback position well, but he's also running the football well.

518
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: Second leading rusher on the team behind Ramandre Stevenson and

519
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is kind of founding his way. Remember he's

520
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: kind of bounced around a little bit. Well, he seems

521
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: to find his way. And the receiver core Kashan Booty

522
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,239
Speaker 1: as well, is having a good season. So Arch, why

523
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: don't you give our listeners and our viewers a little

524
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: bit of background of who Atlanta is going to see

525
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: in New England. Yes, Atlanta needs to worry about themselves.

526
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: They have to go out and they got to do

527
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: their stuff better. But they've also got an opponent on

528
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: the other side of the field. So give people a

529
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: little bit of taste of what they're going to face

530
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: in the Patriots.

531
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: Well, you're going to see a lot of two tight

532
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: in sets. They're going to run some tight in sets

533
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: that you think, Okay, they're throwing the ball and they're

534
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: having success, and Drake's throwing for over two thousand yards

535
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: fifteen TD's what four picks something like that, taking care

536
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 2: of the ball. But what they're doing their base is

537
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: they want to run. They would like to run the football.

538
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: You know, Trevion Henderson and the rookie out of Ohio

539
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: State is the guy that has added into what Rack

540
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: talked about where Ramandri Stevenson coming downhill. If you look

541
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: at those four guys, they've got four guys that have

542
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: over two hundred and fifty yards rushing. You mentioned Drake

543
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: is number two, So they want to run the football. Now,

544
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: some of Drake's stuff, most of Drake's stuff is the impromptu.

545
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: They're not designing run plays. Now. They'll have some bootlegs

546
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: for him both front side and backside, and he has

547
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: run pass options, but most of his stuff is when

548
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: he drops the throw. If you rush four and you're

549
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: not really kind of having that mush rush scenario, where

550
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 2: you're trying to smash the pocket on him. He's gonna

551
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: get out and break you down. He throws the ball

552
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 2: to the backs. The two backs, those two guys, Henderson

553
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 2: and Stevenson have about forty catches between him. So he's

554
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: throwing the ball to those guys you mentioned. Booty. He's

555
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: the guy that's caught the touchdowns. Diggs is blended in

556
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 2: extremely well. He's got two tight ends. He can throw

557
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: the football too. Yeah. Yeah. Austin Hooper is one of

558
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: the other the tight ends. Henry. Henry has kind of

559
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: rediscovered his career a little bit, uh for for this

560
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: this new England team. But they play with kind of

561
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: Vrabel's mentality, and it goes back to what you're talking about,

562
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna impose ourselves on you,

563
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: and certainly on the defensive side and on the offensive

564
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: side they want to do that as well. And so

565
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: they kind of tried to get back to what they

566
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: used to be when he was playing a little bit.

567
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: And I give I give their staff a ton of

568
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: grat their tenth and tenth in total offense, their ninth

569
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: and total defense. Uh, they're doing a really good job,

570
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: scoring points and keeping people off the scoreboard. So all

571
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: the little things that you're hoping for from a from

572
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: a complimentary football standpoint is coming together from New England.

573
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: Shock. You talked a little bit about the stats you

574
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: mentioned scoring Eighth in the league is a scoring offense.

575
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: Fourth in the league is a scoring defense. So a

576
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of times you can look at all these stats

577
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: and everything, and at the end of the day you

578
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: kind of need to look at how are they doing

579
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: in the scoring department. And the other thing that kind

580
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: of caught me, uh as interesting, shock is I looked

581
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: at how have the Patriots fared at home this year?

582
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Obviously it's going to be a home game, Falcons traveling

583
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: to play on the road. Well, they're two and two

584
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: this year. They lost their first two games at home

585
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: in games against the Raiders and Steelers, but then they've

586
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: won their last two games, and not only have they

587
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: won the last two games, they've averaged thirty seven points

588
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: a game in both of those. So it's not like

589
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: they've been dominant at home throughout the course of the year.

590
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: But the sample size that we have lately is a

591
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: Patriots team that's playing well and scoring a lot of points,

592
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: which poses some problems for Atlanta.

593
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: Which is what you want from a team that's starting

594
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 3: to figure out who they are. And Raves, as we mentioned,

595
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: has started to put his imprint on both sides of

596
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: the ball. Obviously you knew coming in he will be

597
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: a defensive minded guy and that side of the ball

598
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: would play to that kind of standard. Last five ball

599
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: games twenty points unless that they've given up. So you're

600
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 3: talking about not allowing people in the end zone and

601
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 3: they're scoring a lot of points. That puts a lot

602
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: of pressure on opposing offenses to play well. We just

603
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: talked about the game we're coming off where the Miami

604
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: Dolphins had the ball thirty eight minutes. That cannot happen

605
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: in this ballgame. Arch laid out the multitude of guys

606
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: that could hurt you on that side of the ball

607
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: from the running backs and which we've seen the last

608
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: two weeks running back to be a big part of

609
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: the storyline coming into the ball game. We saw a

610
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: change last week. They tried to force feed him the football,

611
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: similar to what forty Niners David McCaffrey first played a

612
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: ball game. They tried to throw a wheel route over

613
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 3: there on j d. Bircher, So you know, coming in

614
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: they're gonna try to even though these are different style

615
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: of backs in Remandre and Treyon, there's still gonna be

616
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: focal points of of the offense when they talk about

617
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 3: running the football. On the other side of it, Drake

618
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: May's been sacked twenty eight times though he's a guy

619
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: that you can get to those first two losses. Nine

620
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: sacks in those first two losses. Freaking Miles Garrett just

621
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: last week five sacks on his own. So maybe this

622
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 3: is an opportunity for you, say, all right, thirty eight

623
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: minutes is something you can't have, but here's something else

624
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 3: that you can. You can get after the quarterback and

625
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: get off the field. You talked about it. You gotta

626
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: get off the field. You can't be uh, you know,

627
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 3: on offense two of eleven on third down and then

628
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: it allowed other team to be fifty sixty percent on

629
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: third down. You gotta find a ways to get off

630
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: the field. When he gets those impromptu plays. We gotta

631
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: make sure you stick to him on the back end,

632
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: but also you gotta you gotta, you gotta get to him.

633
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: I think that's a big part of his ball game

634
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: is getting to drag May and understanding that he's a

635
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: guy that have we've seen over the last couple weeks,

636
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: if a quarterback finds some confidence, he's gonna make some

637
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 3: plays on you. So this is a team that's scoring points,

638
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: not allowing points, but there also have some something that's

639
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: working against him. But even with the five sacks, they

640
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: were able to score over thirty points against the Rounds.

641
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: Arch I was listening to rahiems press conference yesterday and

642
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: it made me think about has he been in a

643
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: situation where his team has been struggling and has he

644
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: seen a turnaround? So I went and I did a

645
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: little bit of research and he didn't have to go

646
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: far twenty twenty three seasons. So before he ends up

647
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: coming to Atlanta, the Rams started three and six that year, okay,

648
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: and if you guys remember, they finished seven and one.

649
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: Okay.

650
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: So if there's a guy that knows what it looks

651
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: like mid season when the team is struggling, Raheim's been

652
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,239
Speaker 1: there before. Now how can he harness it now as

653
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: the head coach and not as just a coordinator. But

654
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: arch my question to you is we take it one

655
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: game at a time, okay, but what is it going

656
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: to take for Atlanta as a whole, to turn this

657
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: thing around, to make it look somewhat like it did

658
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three when Raheem was with the Rams.

659
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think first of all, you got to rack.

660
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: You got to identify what is it we're struggling with.

661
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: What is it we're doing incorrectly? How can we accentuate

662
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: what we're doing well. It's like going into the weight room.

663
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: You know, you don't want to neglect what you do

664
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: really well. But you know, as well as I do.

665
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: The strengthen conditioning staff here or wherever in the national

666
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: Football leg and our experiences, they're gonna work on your weaknesses. Okay,

667
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: where are you weak? You're we're weak when you you

668
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: know you try to plant in your light legs. We're

669
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: gonna work. That's what you're gonna have to do. From

670
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: a game plan standpoint is Okay, they're continue. They always

671
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: self scout throughout the year. You guys know this. I

672
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 2: think people think that, Okay, only on the bye week

673
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: do they self scout. There's people in the building. They're

674
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: getting analytics all the time. They're evaluating, Okay, what are

675
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: we doing and are we giving things away? Are there

676
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: some tells that are showing certain things, certain things that

677
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: they're allowing them to pin their ear back and come

678
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: after us, or they know right away that something's going

679
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: to happen, so the counteracts off of that. But to me,

680
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: that's you've got the personnel in the building. You've got

681
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: the people from a no how standpoint coaching wise. Now

682
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 2: you have to meld that together, if you will, and

683
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: create uncertainty on the defensive side of the football. Wait

684
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: a minute, I saw that on tape and they didn't

685
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: do that. You know they did this. Well, yeah, we

686
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: made it look like that, and now we're doing this,

687
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: And that's the evolution of what happens throughout every year.

688
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: You know, when you play seventeen games, you can't get

689
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: caught in ruts. You got to continue to kind of

690
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: reinvent yourself a little bit. I think that's really kind

691
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: of all it is. I think you have the talent

692
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: to get that done.

693
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: Archie. It's the chess game. That is the National Football League.

694
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: Everybody is talented in this league. But how do you

695
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: create an edge to on Sunday be just a little

696
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: bit better than the opponent? All right, guys, let's finish

697
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: it up like this. I want each of us one,

698
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: two three to give one key, one key that Atlanta

699
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: has to do this weekend as they play on the

700
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: road one o'clock against the Patriots if they want to

701
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: come away with the victory. Shock. I'm going to start

702
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: with you, what is one key that you are looking

703
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: forward to seeing Atlanta doing on Sunday.

704
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: You know I just talked about obviously getting drag May

705
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 3: on the ground. I won't use that one. I'll say

706
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: our secondary has to play well. You look at the numbers,

707
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: look at the how how they're distributing the football. Obviously,

708
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs has been big form, Keisha and Booty Hunter,

709
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: Henry mccollins, all those guys have been focal points for

710
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 3: drag May. You take away a guy's ability to be

711
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: able to push the football down the field, You take

712
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: a way is ability to be able to have quick decisions,

713
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: and I think you have some success in this ball games.

714
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: I think the secondary has to play exceptionally well in

715
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: this ball game to give us a chance to get

716
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: after the quarterback one and I think we're gonna have

717
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: to line up and play some man coverage, getting the

718
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: guy's face and I give him easy access throws. Gonna

719
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: have to stand up and be a little bit different

720
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 3: this week and change kind of the the mo of

721
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: times of what you want and maybe you come out

722
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 3: I feel a little bit more. That means you got to

723
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 3: lock up on the back end. So I think this

724
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: is a big ball game for the secondary because of

725
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 3: how much success Drake has had over the last few

726
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 3: ball games throwing the football. Obviously, they're gonna run football,

727
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 3: but this is also a guy who wants to push

728
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 3: the ball down. From remember it's times in North Carolina

729
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 3: to now, he still wants to throw the football. If

730
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 3: we can slow that that that receiver Cord down or

731
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 3: the pass catchers, we got a good chance of playing

732
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 3: I think good football. Little defenside of the ball, all.

733
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: Right, secondary making it challenging the passing game, all right,

734
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Arch What do you think one key for you?

735
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to do a little value shopping, A

736
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 2: little value shopping. I want I want like this. I

737
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: want value in the plays that I run that are

738
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: going to create opportunities maybe for me later on in

739
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: the game. So no, no wasted series, no wasted plays.

740
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: I think we do. We We've had too much of

741
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: that the last couple of weeks. So I want to

742
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: be able to get something out of the first down play,

743
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 2: something out of the second down play. Keep myself in

744
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 2: manageable situations where I can convert, but I want to

745
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: do it in a in a way where the defense

746
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: is still trying to figure out what I'm doing. You

747
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: know they're going to know we want to run the football.

748
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: So I want value out of every drive. Now we

749
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: may not score on every drive, but you get two

750
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 2: first downs, three first downs. You look over, the clock

751
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: is a little bit more diminished, the defense isn't on

752
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: the field as much, and we get a little bit

753
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: more confidence, and hey, we can do that. We got

754
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: a little something here. We set this up so that's

755
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 2: available later on value, a little bit value on drives

756
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: in the games.

757
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: One thing for you to give your right One thing

758
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: we have to do better in this ball game. Two,

759
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 3: we can't have the special team buildings. We had three

760
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: of them in his last ball game. Where you're starting

761
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 3: drives inside your ten yard line, of starting drives inside

762
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 3: of twenty yard age, it's hard to go with thal

763
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: here go down eight, nine, ten to twelve play drives

764
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: without something bad happening, So we can't have those pillars

765
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: and special teams that already sets you behind when you're

766
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 3: trying to go get points.

767
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: Love it, love it.

768
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: You get the third phase of the game involved. And

769
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. Just too many penalties last

770
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: week backing you up and you're starting inside your fifteen

771
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: your ten yard line. Now you're not looking up the

772
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: amount of yards you got to cover just to get

773
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: into the scoring territory. We play the game on our

774
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: show a lot of times about three words. I'm just

775
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: gonna give y'all two today kind of just piggybacks on you,

776
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: just kind of piggybacks on your thought with bringing some

777
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: value is first downs. That's it. And we always talk

778
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: about third down conversions and everything like, I'm not even

779
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: worried about that. I want first downs because guess what

780
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: if we get a first down on first down? With that,

781
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: we get a first down on second down.

782
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 2: Great?

783
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: Right, But this all kind of goes together with what

784
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: you were talking about. Defense was being it was on

785
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: the field too much last week against Miami. How do

786
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: you prevent that? Just get first downs? And I don't

787
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: care how they come. I don't care if you take

788
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: one because of penalty. It's fine. First downs is the

789
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: key in this game. When we look up, we need

790
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: to see Atlanta have more first downs than the Patriots

791
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: do because they're staying on the field. And then hopefully

792
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: they can turn the tides in the red zone because

793
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta is not good in the red zone and when

794
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: it comes to touchdown percentages. But you get first downs,

795
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: you're in territory to score. You got to put points

796
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: on the board. You're going to have to score against

797
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I don't know if you guys see this

798
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: as a fourteen to nine game, but I don't.

799
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 2: Know you got it. This is an offensive league. We've

800
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: been really fortunate how well the defense is played here.

801
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: Early on. I think Jeff Ulbrich's done an outstanding job

802
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: of melding the new guys that he's got and they're

803
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: playing at a good level. And I know that you

804
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: see thirty four points on the board. Again, the offense

805
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: contributed to that. So but at some point, as Ractus said,

806
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: this is an offense. This is it's built to be

807
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 2: an offensive league. You got to go make some plays

808
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the football. First downs, so racket,

809
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: so the four first downs we had in the first

810
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: half this last week is not enough for you. It's

811
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: like that's like Rack saying, Okay, I got mac and cheese.

812
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: Where's the meat?

813
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: You know?

814
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 2: Where are my greens? I didn't get any greens? Wait,

815
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 2: what's the deal I got you? Know, so you want

816
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 2: a full meal?

817
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: You want a full meal?

818
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: I got you.

819
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: It's amazingly you can't walk into this thing sleepily.

820
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 2: Right right right, there's no there's no we get no melowtony,

821
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: none of that stuff. You know. You can take your

822
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: pill to go over to over over to Germany if

823
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 2: you want to on the flight over none of that.

824
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: We asked for three, but we're going to give you four. Okay.

825
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: Secondary's got to play well. Arch is looking for value

826
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: on offense, shock through back in special teams, got to

827
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 1: play much more discipline. It's all good because I added

828
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: it to the list, cuz, and then I'm talking about

829
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: first downs in this game. So there's your four keys.

830
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: We thought it was going to be three, but we

831
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: gave you four. Anyway, Okay, week, let's score it up.

832
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: Let's take a look next week, and did those four

833
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: things happened for Atlanta? And if they did did they win,

834
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: did they lose, or if it didn't happen, maybe that's

835
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 1: the reason.

836
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's go ar.

837
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: So you bring us back a dumb it's over you.

838
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

839
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: One o'clock Sunday afternoon, Falcons at Patriots looking to get
