4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: the smiles on the face when there's a win, because

Speaker 1: we what they call professionals, so we bring the information

Speaker 1: a a little bit little don't want to open the

21
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: door too much, little bit of Q it and then

22
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: I've got the guys are gonna tell us how we

23
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: remain in control of the NFC South because, as we know,

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,360

00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: So guys, let's go ahead and get into it.

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Before we get into the matchup, I want to ask

28
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: you guys about the fifty years of hip hop. Let's

29
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: talk about some of the festivities that went down during

30
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: the game, and let's just go into it. We'll say,

31
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: DJ your favorite moment. Maybe it was a performer, maybe

32
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: it was a performance, maybe it was something else from

33
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: the game.

34
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be I'm gonna keep it all the way

35
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 4: a buck. I'm a guy from the city, so I

36
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: loved it all. Seeing all those different I would say

37
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: dignitaries of the city in one place is pretty cool.

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously seeing my man Luda conference with ceiling,

39
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: I'm waiting for Urs to do that because obviously he

40
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: has to be next to do that. And obviously looting

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: the halftime show, my man big boy t I coming out.

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean, crusher, I just told you, I told you

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: I like them all.

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: I talk about them all like Arch they did right

45
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: before the game. They did announce every single one of stunt,

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: and it took forever because there was so many of

47
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: them in the house, so that I didn't know.

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 5: I don't even remember there were that many young young.

49
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 5: I had no idea.

50
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: Well young, they've been around for a long time.

51
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 5: Forever young, that's what that's what hip hop music does

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 5: for you. My favorite, obviously Luda was you you pick

53
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 5: ludas so I won't do that. And I didn't think

54
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 5: they were ever going to get him down. I was

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 5: hung up. He was hung up about sixty feet above

56
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 5: thee and they're getting ready to try to play and

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 5: Luda's still up there getting it. My guy, Pastor Troy

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 5: broke it down. He got it done.

59
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: That was cool.

60
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 5: I was Wes was asking me a question, and I

61
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: think it was Pastor Troy.

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: Was he third quarter?

63
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 5: Was it like the change of the third quarter? I

64
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 5: came anyway, he's he's blowing it up big about the

65
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 5: second level up there, and I'm kind of looking out

66
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 5: the window trying to see him. I've met him, good dude,

67
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 5: and I'm listening to him. Rouds into it. Wes is

68
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 5: asking me a question about what we're gonna do for

69
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter?

70
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: Clearly, so yeah, I was I was.

71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 5: Hung up on it too, So yeah, I think Seock

72
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 5: and I enjoyed being fans there.

73
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there was a number of great moments

74
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: in that one. I'll give Bone Crusher a little bit

75
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: of a shout out to he. He was hype by it,

76
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: he was getting after it. Uh finished his uh his

77
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: performance with a little holding up the Grady Jarrett Jersey

78
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: showing him some love. But guys, I'm gonna go with

79
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: the low hanging fruit Ludacris. Like I didn't know about

80
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: him coming down from the ceiling. It's so like, all

81
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you see that, you know, special performance

82
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: by Ludacris, and so I'm like every other fan, I'm

83
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: kind of looking around and then I see the halo

84
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: board and I'm like, wait, wait there, and then they

85
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: dropped the banners and then all of a sudden, Luda

86
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: comes down because they've you know, they've dropped Freddy from

87
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: the the the rafters before, and I always look at

88
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: it and I'm like, there ain't no way, but like

89
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Luda looks so cool, like he was like it didn't

90
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: look nervous at all. I mean, at one time he

91
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: had his hand on it with the microphone. Another time

92
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: he didn't even have I mean, he was just out

93
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: there chilling like that. Must have been no fear from him.

94
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: It's I equated to I remember the one time I

95
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: did a zip line and I'm holding on to that

96
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: thing like this as I'm going down and Luda just

97
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 4: bouncing around.

98
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: Said this man couldn't be me.

99
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: He was phenomenal. He's fast and furious. Man, he knows

100
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 5: what he's doing.

101
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: Serious.

102
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: But to your guys, you would you ever do that?

103
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: We got all of the first quarter from up there

104
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: or something like that, just above the field.

105
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: You've got a great view, you see everything.

106
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: There are listeners and viewers that are saying, didn't you

107
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: guys play in the NFL one of the most risky

108
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: professions there is. Yes, we got our riskiness out between

109
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: the white lines. But any way, there was so many

110
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: great performances, so many great entertainers celebrities in the house

111
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: that it was a very cool experience from start to finish.

112
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: So great job by everybody involved in Atlanta Falcons organization

113
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: for making that happen. All right, let's go ahead and

114
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: get into the matchup. As we mentioned, nine point victory

115
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: by Atlanta, there's a number of turning points in this game.

116
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: DJ.

117
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Obviously Jesse Bates had another interception. This one takes all

118
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: the way back to the house. First one of the

119
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: season ends up. I don't it was during the game.

120
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: He ended up being tied for third in the NFL.

121
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody else had any interceptions throughout

122
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the day that ended up changing that.

123
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Coming into this one, I was looking at it as

124
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, got to keep our eyes on paulse and Adebo.

125
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: He had four picks coming into this game, and then

126
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was Jesse Bates that ends

127
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: up kind of stealing the show. Playing center field there,

128
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: reading the quarterback's eyes, cuts underneath it makes a great play.

129
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Whether it was that or it was another moment. What

130
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: were some of the turning points in the game in

131
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: your opinion, or some of the performances that stuck out

132
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: that allowed Atlanta to come away with his victory.

133
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: I think obviously on the offensive side of the ball,

134
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 4: I look at the way VJ run I thought that

135
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: the way the offensive line created some holes for him.

136
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: But I think the one thing that struck out to

137
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: me was we saw number eighty.

138
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: Four be violent with the football in his hand.

139
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: I thought Cps just energy, his ability to be a

140
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: would run through people and get the crowd into it.

141
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 4: I thought he was a guy that brought a lot

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 4: of juice to the offense with the way he played.

143
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: And I loved the way that they used the three

144
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: backs throughout the ball game. And you look at the numbers,

145
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: and you know, our gear rushed for over six yards

146
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: of carry, and you look up, CP had a you know,

147
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: five six carries, you got seven the ball a bunch

148
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 4: of different times, in a bunch of different ways. I

149
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 4: just loved the way author Smith attacked him on the

150
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 4: offensive side of the ball.

151
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: It was so multiple in the way you did it.

152
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: There were so many great concepts in the past game

153
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: that allowed you to be great. I mean the touchdown

154
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: to Jon on the rail of wheel rout, whatever you

155
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: want to call it, was a masterful way of drawing

156
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: it up. You get the motion, you know, you get

157
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: man coverage. You do a good job of getting him

158
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: isolated on the Mario Davis and Ridard does such a

159
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: great job of holding his head in the middle of

160
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: that field to keep tiring Matthew there so that he

161
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: got a little pressure, he gives a little ground and

162
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: just drops an absolute dime to Beijon. This is, I thought,

163
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: a wonderful and masterful game. I thought offensive side of

164
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith, some of the things that they did to

165
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: kind of give them an advantage to.

166
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: Be able to move the football.

167
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: You mentioned that the passing play to Bijon, I mean

168
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: Pete Werner ends up coming basically unblocked. I think somebody

169
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: at the last second Arch tried to end up chipping him,

170
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: but he had to kind of buy some time in

171
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: order to let Bijon get down the field. But he

172
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: knew he had to Mario Davis. And if you got

173
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Bjon against to Mario Davis nine times out of ten,

174
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna go ahead and take that matchup. But it

175
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: was a good throw by him. I mean, if he

176
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: undershoots him, maybe Davis has a chance to come back

177
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: and make that play. On the running play too, where

178
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: he scored Arch. To me, it looked like there was

179
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: a great combination block by your right guard right tackle

180
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: expanding the hole. But Bergeron comes around on the back

181
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: and he ends up getting a seal block to hold

182
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: the backside defender to allow him to get through the

183
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: hole to get back up to speed. So you talked

184
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: about the offensive line, there were some moments where they

185
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: really performed well.

186
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 4: There was one other instance that comes to mind when

187
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: you talk about the combo blocks and double teams. There

188
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: was like a seventeen yard run by Vjon and the

189
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: outside zone. Lenstrom has maybe a three four I on

190
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: the outside. He has to get his get his butt

191
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: to the sideline and he hooks him. You got Parker

192
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: Hesse and you got Michael Pruitt. They do such gob

193
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: of double team. Hesse gets up on the second level.

194
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: Pruit gets up on the second level on the backer

195
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: and it creates a nice run. Lade and he picks

196
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: up seventeen yards. Vijohn is up tripping going down, but

197
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 4: he picks up seventeen yard. But nobody touched him going

198
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: through that line. Just an awesome job of the combination

199
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 4: blocks at times with the old line arch.

200
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: There obviously was a lot of discussion around Desmond Ritter

201
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: coming back into the lineup as the starter. Again, wasn't

202
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: a perfect game through a couple of picks in this one,

203
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: I know last week one of the things they talked

204
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: about with Desmond Ritter and Arthur Smith said that he's

205
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: a guy that's always looking forward, he doesn't dwell on

206
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: what happened previously. And I think you could make that

207
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: same argument from this game, like it'd be easy for

208
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: a guy to all of a sudden fall into a

209
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: hole after you throw a pick and then you end

210
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: up throwing another pick. Matthew makes a couple of great plays,

211
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: but he didn't. He continued to stay the course and

212
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: he made some really good throws in this game. So

213
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: not only some of the guys that he talked about,

214
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: but Desmond Ridder and the defense really stood out in

215
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: this game as well.

216
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 5: Well, there's no question the defense did at your four

217
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 5: six field goal opportunities. I mean, how many times do

218
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: you see that a team moved the ball, and they

219
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 5: moved the ball from thirty to thirty, But once they

220
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 5: got to the thirty yard line, Atlanta build a wall

221
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: and they and they had to try to convert and

222
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 5: it was because of pressure, and it was pressure from

223
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 5: the secondary is pressure from linebackers, pressure from the front floor.

224
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 5: So they got it from all three levels and the

225
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 5: different things Ryan Nielsen was designing to get after Derek Carr,

226
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: it unsettled him in Key moments of the game that

227
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 5: forced them to go kick field goals. Desmond Ritter's ability

228
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: to extend plays in this game was monstrous. He ran

229
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 5: for three first downs in the game. He also had

230
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 5: a play where I don't know how he got didn't

231
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 5: get sacked, He spins out of a sack, skates to

232
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 5: his left and finds Van Jefferson along the sideline for

233
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: a completion that extended a drive. So his ability in

234
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 5: the off schedule stuff to be able to keep things alive.

235
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 5: I mean there were two or three times where he

236
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: just hemmed in because of his strength, was able to

237
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 5: push through some guys and then take off and run

238
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 5: for first downs. I even asked him after the game,

239
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 5: I said, you know that might be something you need

240
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 5: to continue if maybe look to do not necessarily you

241
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 5: want to throw the ball, you stay within the confines

242
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 5: of the offense. But if things open up, don't feel

243
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: like you got to shoot it down. Go take that

244
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 5: fifteen yards because he can go get it, get it

245
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 5: pretty quickly. I thought the two plays for me that

246
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 5: were key the Jesse Bates interception you mentioned. I've seen

247
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 5: maybe one or two other safeties make that play. He's

248
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 5: in center field when the ball snapped dead center field.

249
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 5: He's a middle safety, and he said, watching tape, the

250
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 5: Derek Carr will jump and lock on to the slant route.

251
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 5: He said it was a gamble, he said, but I

252
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 5: was willing to squeeze the trigger and I was going

253
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 5: to take the gamble. And so he jumped the route

254
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 5: because if you look behind him, there's a guy running

255
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 5: a seam behind him. That's a walk in touchdowns. But

256
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 5: because Bates read the quarterbacks eyes and jumps it. The

257
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 5: only other receiver i've safety I've ever seen come from

258
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 5: centerfield to make an interception on the numbers or outside

259
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 5: of the numbers as Troy Paula Malin. Yeah, that's the

260
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 5: kind of play it was. And then the turnover down

261
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: the reads the Saints had not turned the football over

262
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 5: in the red zone all year. Two red zone turnovers

263
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 5: where Monster plays. He gets the punch out, Richie Grant

264
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 5: gets the tackle on Tasom Hill, and Jesse comes in

265
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 5: and punches it out. Ten tackles, interception for a touchdown,

266
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 5: forced fumble for Jesse Bates.

267
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: And not only that, guys, I mean, if I saw

268
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: the replay correct, it looked like Jesse Bates came in

269
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: with the jit right hook on that. I mean it

270
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: was like he had he was his fist was zoned

271
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: in on the football. No, this was not one of

272
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: those where he came in and just tried to reach

273
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: or rake. He literally came in there and threw a

274
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: right hook and got his fist right on the football

275
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: to not get loose. So Archie, you talk about the

276
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: little things that his instincts right, knowing to go for

277
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: a football in that situation, taking the chance, undercutting the

278
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: slot of the slant, because if that would have been

279
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: a slant and go or something again would have been burned.

280
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: But that's tape study. It's it's knowing what he wants

281
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: to do. And then, as you mentioned, is reading the

282
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: quarterback's eyes. When I watched the replay the first time,

283
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: I said, he is all over Derek Carr's eyes in

284
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: this situation, and he goes right underneath him and he

285
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: ends up taking the football away. So another great game

286
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: by Jesse Bates and continuing to prove his worth in

287
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: the secondary. One thing I wanted to ask you guys about,

288
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: and I might have missed it here, but I saw

289
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot more DeMarco hellms in the secondary in this

290
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: game as well. I think Arthur Smith was asked about

291
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: it said talking about trying to bring in some guys

292
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: to keep them fresh. But this was a guy, if

293
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: we go all the way back to preseason, he made

294
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: the team because he was making plays on special teams

295
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and they knew what he could do on defense. But

296
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: they said when he came out of Alabama, he always

297
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: knew how to find the football, and now you're starting

298
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: to see the progression of him being in regular downs defensively,

299
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: and he got in a number of tackles in that game.

300
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 5: We'll remember he had two interceptions in the preseason on defense,

301
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 5: not just special teams play, but his prowess on defense

302
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 5: playing defense, so he knew he had a knack for

303
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 5: the football. Had seven tackles in the game. He knocked

304
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 5: one of the receivers completely out. In fact, he stood

305
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 5: over him and he got a fifteen yard penalty for

306
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 5: knocking him out. But he is a physical presence that

307
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: he brings to the table and talking to Arthur for

308
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 5: his radio show this week, he says there's a combination

309
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 5: of understanding the game and willing to squeeze the trigger

310
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 5: on what you're thinking, that's kind of Jesse Bates, right.

311
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: He says DeMarco.

312
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 5: Helms has one of those same kind of DNA and him.

313
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: I think it gives them so much more versatile in

314
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 4: the back end because you can see there were times

315
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: where you had all three safeties in it one time,

316
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 4: Richie Grant in the.

317
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: Slot, or you have the Alford whoever it.

318
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 4: May be, and you could play all those different combinations

319
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: and feel good about it. And it only helps you

320
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: down the stretch to have that many guys or multiple

321
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: guys who know what they're doing on that back end

322
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: and who you trust.

323
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 5: I thought there was another point in the game, and

324
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: one of my keys of the game was don't let

325
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 5: Taysom Hill affect the game. Now. He still made a

326
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 5: couple of plays man to catch along the sideline. He

327
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 5: had one run that was an explosive in the game.

328
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 5: But they were really physical with Taysom Hill. I mean,

329
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 5: Trey Flowers blows him up on the sideline on their

330
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: sideline on one play. He came through another time and

331
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 5: somebody else rocked his world when he tried to run

332
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 5: the football. There was a concerted effort when he came in.

333
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 5: You kind of have an idea what's going to happen.

334
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 5: It's going to be that quarterback sweep or quarterback draw

335
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: or whatever it is every down and then he'll throw it.

336
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 5: But they punished him in the game when he touched

337
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: the football's I think that's the only thing you can

338
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 5: you can go for, and I thought they did a

339
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: good job handling that package.

340
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: It's interesting, Arch because in the pregame show my Keys

341
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: to the Game as well, was I had a threesome.

342
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: It was Kamara, it was Taysom Hill, and it was

343
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: Chris Olave and Alvey ended up having a good game.

344
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the budding superstar wide receivers

345
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: in this game. But the fact that they didn't allow

346
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill or Alvin Kamara to take over the game.

347
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: They're going to find their yards. They're really good players, right,

348
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: That's the reason why they've been on a team and

349
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: they continue to be on that team. But they didn't

350
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: allow them to change the game right to put the

351
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: ball into the end zone. As you mentioned, it was

352
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: a ben not break defense for Atlanta this past Sunday,

353
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: in a very good performance from them.

354
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: Guys.

355
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: There's been discussions about and there's been discussion, there's questions

356
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: asked to Arthur Smith and his press conferences about Desmond Ritter,

357
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: the turnovers, interceptions, reading the defense better. So no one

358
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: better to answer this question than two quarterbacks. And I

359
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: know a lot of it is experienced, it's seeing more

360
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: stuff on tape. But for a guy like Desmond ridder DJ,

361
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: what is it going to take for him to limit

362
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: the amount of turnovers moving forward to put us in

363
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: the best chance offensively to win football games.

364
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 4: I think there's so many things that goes into that

365
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 4: because a lot of it looks like it can be

366
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 4: on the quarterback, and sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.

367
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things that go on in a

368
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: ball game that maybe a guy didn't run his route

369
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 4: correctly or they see it differently than you do, and

370
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: it ends up being an interception of being something that

371
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 4: doesn't bowl well for an offensive for the quarterback.

372
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of.

373
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: Things that go into it, and I don't think everything

374
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: is entirely on him, but I get people a couple

375
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 4: examples of how Desral absolutely does see the field as

376
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: well as anybody, And there are a couple of instances

377
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: where yeah, he wants a couple footballs back. He wants

378
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: a couple throws back. But there was a fifteen yard

379
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: curl route that he hit that he hit Drake London on.

380
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: There was a deep over route that he hit Drake

381
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 4: London on that he had to lay it in a

382
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 4: minusk hole to get the football in. For him to

383
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 4: catch the football on the fifteen yard crew out, he

384
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: has to recurl flat. He has a flat route and

385
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: he has the underneath defender. He has to kind of

386
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 4: kind of finagle to get through there. He reads it

387
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: out perfectly, lets it go on time, and it's a

388
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 4: big fifteen yard completion. There was the fifteen yard scramble,

389
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 4: one of those you know, all schedule players you talk

390
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 4: about they run a similar concept and you get a

391
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: deep corner route by Pitts and they're playing quarters, so

392
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: you take that away. You get a flat route as

393
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 4: a high low accommodation, and they take that away. He

394
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 4: actually is about to throw the flat route and pulls

395
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 4: it back in and ends up taking off the middle

396
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 4: for a big fifteen seventeen yard scramble. That tells you

397
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: he is seeing the field. It tells you he understands

398
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 4: where guys are supposed to be and he's just not

399
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 4: forcing the issue.

400
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: Now.

401
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: There are times now obviously the pick to Tyre Matthew,

402
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: he probably wants that throwback because you got to see

403
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: the defender see where he's going. But there's other instances

404
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 4: in the game where he is seeing exactly what's going

405
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 4: on in a ballgame, and he is starting to learn

406
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: just by playing. I think the only way you do

407
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 4: that is to be in the game. It's hard to

408
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: do it in practice. It's hard to simulate it. It's

409
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 4: hard to Okay, I'm gonna put the ball on my

410
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 4: right hand, I'm gonna run through five six guys and

411
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna chop at it.

412
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: It's just different. You gotta be in the ballgame.

413
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 4: We saw it when he got in the game couple

414
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: weeks ago before the bye week and he runs his

415
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: own read and you talked about it. The ball wasn't

416
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: in the right hand, it was in the left hand

417
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: as he went into the end zone. Those are just

418
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: small things that he has to kind of ingrain in

419
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: his brain and say, all right, when I have the

420
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 4: football in my hand, I have to take care of

421
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 4: it in a different way.

422
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 2: And I think he's learning better to do that.

423
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: So there are a lot of instants I think throughout

424
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: a game that you look at and say, Okay, maybe

425
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 4: that wasn't entirely on the quarterback.

426
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: I know Arts probably can speak to it better than me.

427
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: He talks to coach Smith.

428
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 4: And you know, there are a lot of nuances in

429
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: a concept or a play that doesn't always say okay,

430
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 4: it's on the quarterback.

431
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: There are a lot of other things that.

432
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: Go in urch what sticks out to you?

433
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: Is there anything else as far as the turnovers that

434
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: he can kind of reel in a little bit.

435
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's gonna be his decision making on when

436
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: to take a chance and when not. And they may

437
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 5: sound simple, but if you're gonna throw the ball over

438
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 5: the middle in the red zone, which is where the

439
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: interception comes, we run it to the ten get Bjeon

440
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 5: gets us a first down at the ten yard line.

441
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 5: We decided to throw it on that play. Bijeon comes

442
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 5: out and he's gonna run a He's gonna run a

443
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 5: circle or a little angle route right on the inside.

444
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 5: And seez I got my phone.

445
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: People are trying to get in touch with Archie.

446
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 5: I can't can't keep people, so okay, So Bjeon's gonna

447
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 5: run angle route. The spacing on the play was screwed up.

448
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 5: Van Jefferson releases early. He comes across the field. Van

449
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 5: needs to clear. That's on Des. He's got to let

450
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: Van clear because it was so quick and right behind

451
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 5: Van Bijeon got a little discombobulate and felt like, oh,

452
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 5: I'm too close to him. I gotta slow down, So

453
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 5: he slows down and idols down.

454
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: Well.

455
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 5: Des is turning the ball loose because he's expecting to

456
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 5: be in that angle route coming to the inside. He

457
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 5: rushes the throw. He has time to let it kind

458
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: of mature a little bit. Jehanu's route is too tight.

459
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 5: So there's a bunch of things going on. But anyway,

460
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 5: in the red zone, because it's a compacted area, there's

461
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 5: too many guys close to the play. If you overthrow

462
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 5: something in the middle field in the red zone, it's

463
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 5: going to be picked off. Especially in his own situation.

464
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 5: The other interception, Van Jefferson's not running. He's got to run.

465
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: He's got a clearing route and Dez is trying to

466
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: throw a back shoulder to him. He's got Scotty Miller

467
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 5: wide open on his curl route to the inside because

468
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 5: it didn't really declare itself. Because Van's not really running,

469
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 5: it allows Tyron Matthew to crane his head back to

470
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: the inside and look, if he'd been running. He can't

471
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 5: run with Van Jefferson. If Van Jefferson's hauling out of there,

472
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: Tyron Matthews got to get his rear end out of

473
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 5: there because he's going to get beat over the top.

474
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: Right, he's not.

475
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 5: Looking back, but because you lollygagging a little bit. And

476
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 5: then the accuracy where the throw was, he threw it

477
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 5: too far to the inside. So all those things combined

478
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 5: to the quarterback throwing throwing two interceptions.

479
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: Now, where do you take your chances? Where do you

480
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: not take your chances?

481
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 5: His the only thing he can control is his accuracy

482
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: to football and whin he decided to turn it loose

483
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 5: in what areas right to put it in harm's way.

484
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 5: So other guys are going to have to do their

485
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 5: jobs too. That's what adds up to the interceptions. Every

486
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 5: sees it hung on the quarterback y up, two interceptions.

487
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 5: There's so many other things going on.

488
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's you know, one of the things I learned

489
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: early on in my career from Dan Reeves is that

490
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: you might be third in progression, but there's a reason

491
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: why you're third in progression. Your job is to get

492
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: somebody else open, and you have got to take the

493
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: right releases. You got to get to the right depth

494
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: and to your point. If you've got to clear out route,

495
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: you got to freaking go, and you got to get

496
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: somebody's inside shoulder and get their shoulders turned, get their

497
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: attention turned away from where the throw is going, and

498
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: give a little credit Tyron Matthew like he's a savvyvett Like.

499
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: If you don't end up affecting him, he's going to

500
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: go make a play. And those are some of the

501
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: things that end up happening, all right. So we talked

502
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: about Falcons now a top of the NFC South. So

503
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about how do they remain in

504
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: control of the NFC South. And before I turn it

505
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: guys over to you as far as what they need

506
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: to do, I'm going to give you my answer real quick,

507
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: and it's going to be the most simple, the most

508
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: coach speak answer that you can imagine, because it was

509
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: the same thing I said last week and it's the

510
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: same thing that's going to be for this week and

511
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: next week is to worry about the here and now.

512
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: That's how you remain in control of the NFC South.

513
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 1: The moment that you or anybody else starts looking at

514
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: the schedule and saying which games are wins, that's when

515
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: you lose exactly you know what I'm saying. Like they

516
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: have to go on the road to the New York

517
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: Jets and their job offensively is to win first down.

518
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 3: That's it.

519
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: Like all you got to do is win the first down,

520
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: and then you got to win the first drive, and

521
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: then you win the first quarter like this team And

522
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: this is no offense because you could make this argument

523
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: about any NFL team, like they're not good enough to

524
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: look three games down the road and how do we

525
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: end up going three and zero over the next three

526
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: games to remain a top of our division. Most NFL

527
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: players and coaches are going to tell you they're only

528
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: worried about right now. What does Kirby Smart say after

529
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: every postgame interview, We're worried about next week?

530
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: Right now?

531
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: We're worried about Georgia Tech. I remember they asked about.

532
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: That week away? He says in every single.

533
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: Wee we're worried about the next opponent.

534
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: So to you, guys, like, what else does Atlanta need

535
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: to do to remain in control of the NFC South.

536
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 4: I think it comes down to I think it's pretty

537
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 4: simple than what we talked about, is you have to

538
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 4: win inside your division and win at home. And I

539
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: think without looking forward, and this is not for like

540
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: the team to say, all right, let's look forward to

541
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: winning our next home games, win our next division games.

542
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: To be successful in this league.

543
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: Those are the things you have to do winning your

544
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 4: division and you have to play well at home. Well

545
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: they did that this past weekend. You win at home

546
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 4: and you win in the division. That's a step forward

547
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 4: in the right process of where you're trying to go.

548
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: But I think ultimately just comes down to the nuances

549
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 4: of the game that we talk about every single week.

550
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 4: Not turning the football over, doing the little things on

551
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: both sides of the ball that gives you a chance

552
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: to win, tackling in space, not giving up the big plays.

553
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 4: I mean, those are It sounds so cliche, it sounds

554
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: so easy, but those are the things that win ball

555
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 4: games for you. You didn't see a bunch of like

556
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: procedural penalties. You don't see stuff that puts you behind

557
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: the chains. You go on the road this weekend with

558
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 4: the Jets, you have those kind of issues and you

559
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 4: look and say, oh, well, their offense is this. They're

560
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 4: that those are recipes for you to have a bad day.

561
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: And I think if you look back from a fan perspective,

562
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: people looked at, Okay, you're going to Tennessee with a

563
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback. You should go get a win. But the

564
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 4: other day, you still have to play the ball game.

565
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: You came out and play well. You go to Arizona,

566
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 4: or you get Josh Dobbs coming here off of you know,

567
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: three four days, and for whatever reason, it doesn't work out.

568
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

569
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 4: You have to go play the game and play the

570
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: game that the way you're supposed to. And I think

571
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 4: that's ultimately how you go about it.

572
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: Arch It all sounds simple, but in the NFL, the

573
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: execution is not simple.

574
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 5: Staying in control of your destiny is what you're saying,

575
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: because they do have that in their minds, is to

576
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 5: not worry about the destiny. Yep, you gotta worry about

577
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 5: you mentioned it. Shock said it in several words about

578
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 5: the Jets, are all you can think about. You now,

579
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: you can't think about ooh, if we win in the division,

580
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 5: and we can talk about that and shock talks. Sobut yeah,

581
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 5: you gotta win in division, you gotta win at home.

582
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: But that's not even in their mind. They can't worry

583
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 5: about that. This week was about beating New Orleans. Yes,

584
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 5: it was a division game and it was at home,

585
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: so it was a double dip in that regard. Now

586
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 5: it's the Jets. Because you lose to the Jets and

587
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 5: the Saints win, you're back in the same spot you

588
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 5: were again, and it's the same. So the way you

589
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 5: stay in control is to not worry about that kind

590
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: of stuff is just think about the team that's in

591
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 5: front of you right now and getting ready to play

592
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 5: a Jet team that is scrambling. They're trying to get

593
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 5: themselves kind of back right in the back end of

594
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 5: the AFC, hoping that the other quarterback comes back.

595
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're thinking.

596
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 5: I know this is a formidable defense and they've got

597
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 5: some playmakers on the offensive side of the football. And

598
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 5: last I checked, we just gave up ten plays of

599
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 5: fifteen yards or more on defense in this game against

600
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: the Saints. You can't do that to the Jets, yep,

601
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 5: because they're gonna get some kind of rhythm. They've got

602
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: Breeks Hall, they've got Garrett Wilson, they got a bunch

603
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: of dudes that can go make plays. Even though you're

604
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 5: not seeing it happen, doesn't mean they're not gonna happen

605
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 5: to you. Just like the Will Levice scenario, right all

606
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 5: of a sudden, the boil, the quarterback, all of a sudden,

607
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 5: this is just coming out. Exactly, gotta worry about what's

608
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 5: going on right here? Who cares about the division? All

609
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: that stuff will take care of itself if you take

610
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: care of what's right in front of you.

611
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: Exactly, worry about the hero and now. And that's what

612
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: we got drilled into our heads when we were playing

613
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: and tuning out the outside noise. I understand that in

614
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: broadcasting and talking about things on a podcast, that's our

615
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: job to start looking ahead. But like you don't look ahead,

616
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: you don't look ahead, you worry about the here and now,

617
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: and things are hard enough in the national football This

618
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: is not college football where you get a guarantee game

619
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: where a team is so much of a lesser opponent

620
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: that you know you're gonna win. Like that doesn't happen.

621
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: You can look at the schedule. I mean, we thought

622
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: we were gonna face Jaron Hall and then if their

623
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: first quarter things got blown up and you're like, oh,

624
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs is coming and we got this, so you're

625
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: forty wait.

626
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 5: A minute now, shock at Georgia had games that they

627
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 5: knew they were gonna win, probably eleven out of twelve.

628
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 5: You at Minnesota, me and I was thinking we never

629
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 5: had one of those games.

630
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: It was the next game in front was the challenge Georgia.

631
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 5: Georgia is like eleven of the twelve roller helmets, only.

632
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: Teve Martin comes into Georgia like that.

633
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know.

634
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: Minnesota didn't pay nobody a million and a half dollars

635
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: to come here.

636
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: All right, So that's it.

637
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: Falcons need to worry about the here and now and

638
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: they need to just continue to win each play.

639
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 5: By the way, we got to mention real quickly, Jake

640
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 5: Matthews plays his one hundred and fifty fifth consecutive game,

641
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 5: and I don't know if you're gonna get that apologize

642
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 5: for cutting you off there, but he's played in one

643
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty six of one hundred and fifty seven games.

644
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: He was my guest on the Coaches Show this week

645
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 5: and I asked him what happened. He missed the second

646
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 5: game of his career. He got a little tweak of

647
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 5: the ankle, couldn't go in Week two of his rookie

648
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: year in twenty fourteenth. That's the only game he's missed.

649
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 5: He's late one hundred and fifty six, one hundred and

650
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 5: fifty seven games, and he's played in one hundred and

651
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 5: fifty five straight his tenth season. Got a brand new

652
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 5: youngster that he just welcomed in about a year ago.

653
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 5: And by the way, that was part of the streak.

654
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: As they flew him.

655
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 5: Late to Carolina to keep that streak alive last year.

656
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 5: So yeah, congratulations with Jake. That's a pretty cool one.

657
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: Passes Matt Ryan for the most consecutive starts in franchise

658
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: history and he currently has the longest active streak in

659
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League.

660
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 3: And again, to.

661
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: Think about the position, I mean, you could say that

662
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: for anybody, but somebody that plays on a line of scrimmage,

663
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: with how physical it is and how much pushing and

664
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: shoving that's going on up there, that shows a lot

665
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: about conditioning, keeping himself in great shape. And then obviously

666
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: the want to.

667
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: And one last thing, our man young Wayku leader in

668
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 4: the NFL right now active and field goal percentage at

669
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: ninety percent took over Justin Tucker.

670
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: Because he missed a field goal, so he hosed the

671
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: lead right now.

672
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: For which is if you know the history of the

673
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: last ten or fifteen years, if you're passing just Ducker,

674
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: we're doing some good vets because that dude has been

675
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: special since he came into the league with the Ravens.

676
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: All right, So let's going to wrap it up here
