1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Step a lot by the pocket, gonna take the shot. 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: So kiss is out there Alama days first professional tax 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: he breaks away and Alamada is a kiss. It's gonna 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: go to the house. Ninety three yards. You're listening to 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: Falcons audible presented by A G and G and I'm 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: at to be joined by DJ Shockley and Dave Archer Fellas. 7 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: Falcons are coming off a huge win forty points, forty 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: twenty over the Carolina Panthers, and Uh, if I had 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: to sum up Sundays, when I would say, I would 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: use the word fun um. A lot of good things, 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of feel good moments Sunday 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: from Roddy White being inducted into the Ring of Honor, 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: which was great to see Matt Ryan surpassing fifty thousand 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: yards for his career. How rare that is. The run 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: game got going, uh, Demante Freeman looked really good. Even 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: Brian Hill got some action there. He averaged almost nine 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: yards to carry was at nine or six? Dave, I forget, 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: but it was still good. The defense looked good. Dave 19 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: back its attack and VIC had two sack games. They 20 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: had five for the game. They'd forced turnovers to might 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: take keasy, he had a couple of picks. So oh 22 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: and young way coo, how about him four to four 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: or fifty yard or fumble recovery. Like I said, it's 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: just a lot to cover a lot of good things. 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: They pick up their fourth win of the year. I'm 26 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: just gonna just tip it to you. Where do you 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: want to jump in? Well, I think the thing that 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: jumps out to me shocking. It's something that Hugh and 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: I are going to appreciate, probably maybe more than anybody 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: other than the two running backs that are carrying on. 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: Three running backs are carrying the ball and Matt Ryan 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: was the offensive line play. I thought that when you 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: can run the ball to the two of one hundred 34 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: and fifty nine yards in any game, and I don't 35 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: care who you're playing, then that's going to simplify things 36 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: to a great extent with your passing game and all 37 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: the things that come off of it. It gives you 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: a physical presence. It makes the offensive line feel good 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: about themselves, and Lord knows that you want those five 40 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: guys in funny, you're feeling good about how they're doing 41 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: their job. And if you can come off the ball 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: established running lanes get Davante and Brian running, and then 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: Quadre got in the game and got a couple of 44 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: carries as well. You get that crew going, then that 45 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: changes the dynamic of the game. It changes how the 46 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: other team has to play as well. But at Atlanta 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: did that and that to me when you start to 48 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: sum everything up and you talked about a lot of 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: things that happened, you know, Ozy's ninety three yard touchdown 50 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: catch makes an unbelievable play, third longest in Falcon history, 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: the longest touchdown passing Matt Ryan's career. So planting Roddy 52 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: White who had the ninety one yard or way back 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Yeah, so it was a cool moment 54 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: for him. But I think the thing that really kind 55 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: of sprung out to me was, yes, you got continue 56 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: to get some solid defensive play, but the offensive line 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: d given up fifteen sacks in the last two games. 58 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: You had not been able to run the ball a lick. 59 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: And now listening here, Chris Lynstrom steps in, Matt Gono, 60 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: John Wetzel, Yes, Sweitzer did play some as well. I 61 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: thought that group kind of really came together and played 62 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: arguably their best game in the run game. How good 63 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: was it to see Chris Linstrom in the lineup? Really good? 64 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you come into this ball game not having 65 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: Carpenter or Brown, and like our just mentioned, fifteen sacks 66 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: in the last two games, I think you come in 67 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: thinking this may be another long day. And we knew 68 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: exactly what Carolina's front was about, and we knew that, 69 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: especially in the last game when we played the Panthers, 70 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the emphasis was stopping the run and that was a 71 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: big part of what they wanted to do. And I 72 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: think you guys make a good point of, you know, 73 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: having that offensive line come out and having Lenstrom back in. 74 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: And a lot of people thought, maybe will he played 75 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year? Will he not? You know, 76 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: you want to wait till, you know, next season to 77 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: get him acclimated. But I thought it was good. I mean, 78 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: he was out there in the fourth quarter, he was 79 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: getting his reps in, and you know, I thought he 80 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: brings that physical nature that you like. I mean, in 81 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: this ball game, you had nine first downs came virtually 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: off the run game. So that's a big part of 83 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: what this team wants to do. We know they're a 84 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: play action team. You gotta be able to run the ball. 85 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: And the Falcon still used play action when they not 86 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: running football, but it helps even more when you can 87 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: run the football. And I think we can't forget about 88 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: Julio Jones as well, you know, going over a thousand 89 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: yards six straight years. I don't know. I don't think 90 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: how tough that is for a guy of his caliber 91 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: and people know they're going to throw him the rock 92 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: ties Righty White who also had six and I need 93 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 1: to correct myself, I said six or nine on Brian 94 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: Hill's average. He averaged six point nine. He had nine 95 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: carries for sixty two yards, not too bad, and Freeman 96 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: had seventeen for eighty four. They both had touchdowns on 97 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: the ground, which is was great. Um let's suck defense too, 98 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: it was We've said it now. It seems like a 99 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: few times since the bye the defenses really looked like 100 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: a different unit coming out of the bye week. Yeah, 101 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: I thought that the thing that jumped out to me 102 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: about the defense. And obviously you have the splash plays 103 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: with Tack and Vic and it was good to see 104 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: them both get multi sacks in this game. That's that's 105 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: ten sacks against Carolina in two games. They had five 106 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: sacks in the game a few weeks ago. So you've 107 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: had it. Yeah, and you've taken the ball away as well. 108 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: Exactly right. Shock. But I thought the thing that that 109 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: kind of jumped out, that maybe facilitated everything happening was 110 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: their ability to tackle. I thought that they did an 111 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: outstanding job of tackling. Now, Christian McCaffrey, I was impressed 112 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: with him anyway. I already liked him. I always thought 113 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: I already thought he was a great player. He impressed 114 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,679 Speaker 1: me even further yesterday. I don't know how many times 115 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: there were three falcons around him. He maybe made the 116 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: first guy miss or at least ran through the first 117 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: guy and got hit by another guy. And I don't know. 118 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: And we talked a little bit about this last time 119 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: we played him. He's gonna be carried the ball at 120 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: twenty six times, I get. I don't know how many 121 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: how many times he can do that. Only got what 122 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen touches yesterday. But he's an impressive player, and 123 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: that was the focal point of the defense. You had 124 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: to get him on the ground. He caught eleven passes 125 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: in game one in this series. Yeah, I'll get to it. 126 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: Leven passes, Yes, in the first game for one hundred 127 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: and twenty one yards. This week, he caught eleven passes 128 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: for fifty yard fifty one yards, so he caught the 129 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: ball to the tune of about four point five yards 130 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: a catch, which that means you're limiting. That means you're 131 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: tackling extremely well. When you're doing that. Now it's third 132 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: and seven, it's third and eight, and now Alan's gonna 133 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: hold the ball. He's not as willing to throw the 134 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: short pass. He wants to push the ball down the 135 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: field and that allows tack and Vic to get home. Yeah, 136 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: go ahead. When you watch him up front, I thought 137 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: the Falcons did a good job of moving. There were 138 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: a lot of times where there were stunts, there were 139 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: add on, there were different things that put a lot 140 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: of pressure on that offensive line and put a lot 141 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: of pressure on Kyle Allen. I mean, this is a 142 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: Falcon team where you look at winning situational football, and 143 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: this last two games, the Falcons on third down have 144 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: held Carolina five of twenty four on third down. That's 145 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a winning forma when you know you can 146 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: get him off the field and you're doing a good 147 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: job of rushing the pastor. Archard's missed the ten sacks, 148 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: six interceptions, and the way they're doing it, I thought, 149 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: is it's pretty outrage It's funny you bring up that part. 150 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: There was a play where they dump it down and 151 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: they heard Jerome Henderson talking about it all week. They're 152 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna force you deep and then they're gonna 153 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: check it down to him in space. You gotta bit 154 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: of tackling in space. I thought there was one time 155 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: where they check it down to him and it's probably 156 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: second to five or third and five, and they're there. 157 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: They got him leverage, they got three guys around him. 158 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: He makes the first guy missed, gets vertical and then 159 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: falls forward for another first down. I mean, Falcons did 160 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: a good job, but you gotta give him a lot 161 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: of credit for the way in which he runs. How 162 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: he sets up things, always sets up his body, always 163 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: sets up blockers. I mean, he is just a creative 164 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: guy with the football in his hands. And I don't 165 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: know how long he can do it, but he's definitely 166 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: fun to watch him. Glad he didn't, you know, put 167 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: a monster nomos versus the Falcons, but he he is 168 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: fun to watch when he has a ball in his hand. Yeah, 169 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: I had one hundred ninety one yards of total offense, 170 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: so they're three forty six in the first game. This 171 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: time you limited him to about sixty yards less than that, 172 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: So that was the focal point. Can you limit him? 173 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: You're not gonna stop him, can you limit him? And 174 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: they did limit him where he was not the guy 175 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: that had to make plays, and they tried to turn 176 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: elsewhere and there was nobody to be found. Yeah, that's 177 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: the key. He didn't do anything that really hurt him. 178 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: He didn't have those big splash plays. So yeah, it 179 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: seems like we always say he's gonna get his, and 180 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: he got his, but not not the ones that hurt you. 181 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: You know, I gotta we gotta talk about Young Way, 182 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: who a little bit um and you mentioned him in 183 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: You're a quarters Back Quarterbacks take your Archer's take this 184 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: morning four to four, and you noted in your your piece, Hey, 185 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: you know what, the fifty yard or hit the upright, 186 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: but it still went in. And the thing that I 187 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: thought was interesting that I wanted to talk about was 188 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: how far he got down on kickoff because you talked 189 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: about how Matt Boscher likes to stick his nose in 190 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: there too. Ku got down the field, Johnny on the 191 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: spot there he is, he's you know, good things happen 192 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: right when you when you when you when you were. Yeah, 193 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure the coaching point when ben Kelwika looks 194 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: at it, I'm not sure that's where he wants him. Now. 195 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: He was in the perfect spot when the ball pop cleaned. 196 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: A great play by kamal Ishmael and Damante Kezy to 197 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: get the ball out. Kazy gets the ball with his helmet, 198 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: the ball pox out, and Young Waiku's right there to 199 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: make the recovery. In our history of beating in special 200 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: teams meetings, Jack and I, usually the kicker is one 201 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: of the safeties and so he supposed to be about 202 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: thirty yards deeper than that. So I don't know what 203 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: the coaching point's gonna be there. With being a great 204 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: play by Young way Coop, pretty cool opportunity for him 205 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: to get a recovery, uh and be a part of 206 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: something other than just kicking a ball through the uprights, 207 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: which was cool for him. And he's made he's made 208 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: actually made a couple of tackles now as well, kind 209 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: of gotten in on some stuff. But I think he's 210 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: a little bit deeper than he was supposed to. Somebody 211 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: wants some action, Man, I want to get in there. 212 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: I think it's at number seven years. I don't know, 213 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, I can't recall, you know, uh Matt as 214 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: Matt as great as Matt Bryant was for so many 215 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: years here. Uh you know, I just don't recall Matt 216 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: Bryan running deep down the field. You don't want. Else 217 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: I noticed is how excited their teammates are for each other. Yeah, 218 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: I mean think about as as the key is his 219 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: run and his catch and his touchdown, how many guys 220 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: were excited running down there, And I mean they literally 221 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: picked him up, was holding him young, way cool. When 222 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: he gets the funnel recovery, guys are going crazy, still 223 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: hitting him on the sideline. I mean, it's so many 224 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: scenarios like that throughout a ball game where guys are 225 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: excited for each other. Guys were just cited to see 226 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: other guys doing well. And you look at the record 227 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: and you couldn't tell this was a team that you 228 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: only had four wins. This is a team that loves 229 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: each other, loves playing with each other, and they celebrate 230 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: it and it's fun to watch. I mean, it's just 231 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: something that I see when you know, I'm watching a game, 232 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: like man, these guys are having a good time. They're 233 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: still having fun, and that's what it's about. Yeah, I 234 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: think that's why I said off the top of the 235 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: one word, this kind of sticks out as fun and 236 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: all three phases of the game, you know, had something 237 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: to celebrate yesterday. So now they turned their attention to 238 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: a familiar face, Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco forty 239 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: nine ers. They head out west. It's gonna take quite 240 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: an effort. They're they currently owned the top seed in 241 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: the NFC. They're a good team. You know, they're gonna 242 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: have to run the ball, like you guys said, you 243 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: know in protect Matt Ryan, put some points up and 244 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: get some turnovers. You know, they they know the formula. 245 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: They did it Dave down in New Orleans. They're capable. 246 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: You know, anything can happen, but it's going to take 247 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: an all out, close to perfect, perfect effort. Yeah. I 248 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: think if they play to their capabilities, they're going to 249 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: be in the game to win it. And that's what 250 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: you're looking for, is to get into the fourth quarter, 251 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: especially on the road being the fourth quarter, and have 252 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: a chance to win a football game. I don't think 253 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: the forty niners are any more talented than Atlanta is. 254 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: They probably have some guys in different positions that are 255 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: that are better in Atlanta's are and then Atlanta would say, well, 256 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: we've got guys that aren't in some positions that are 257 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: better than what they've got. So this is the National 258 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: Football League, there's not you're splitting hairs and you start 259 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: talking about the talent level of these two teams. Now 260 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: they're playing at a really high level. They just got 261 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: a really nice win. After losing on the road to 262 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: Baltimore in a hard fought game, they went on the 263 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: road again and beat a New Orleans team that Atlanta 264 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: dominated in that building and only gave up nine points. 265 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: This was a defense that was fairly well thought of 266 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: in the forty nine defense. They just gave up forty 267 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: six points. That was the same team Atlanta gave up 268 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: thirty five points in two games too. So to think that, okay, 269 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: you've got to be perfect in this game, I'm not 270 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: buying into that. I do think that you have to 271 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: play at a really high level, but you've got to 272 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: take advantage of your opportunities. Because I think the forty 273 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: nine ers are going to make some mistakes in the game, 274 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: can you cash them in? And that means when you 275 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: get short field opportunities, and this is something that's continued 276 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: to creep in even since the defense has kind of 277 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: shifted gears and played well. Since the halftime of the 278 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: Seattle game, Atlanta has been presented with a number of 279 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: short field opportunities and has not cashed them in. They've 280 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: got to take advantage of those opportunities, especially against the 281 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: better teams, the teams that are playing at a higher level, 282 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: like the Niners. You're gonna have to find a way. 283 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: If you get those short opportunities, and I'm talking about 284 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: from about your forty five or fifty in anything in 285 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: that area that's a short field opportunity, you must cash 286 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: those in. And settling for field goals is one thing. 287 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: I think. You need to punch some of these in 288 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: and put them in the end zone and shock. That's 289 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: the part that I think I'm probably most worried about 290 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: with this team is the inability to close out drives 291 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: in the red zone. Yeah, that's probably a payable especially 292 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: on the road. It matters the most because on the road, 293 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: if you're driving, or you get that short fielding you 294 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: only get three points out of it, or you turn 295 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: the football over. That gives the opposing team something to 296 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: be excited about. And this is a game where we 297 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: just saw them put up forty eight points and they're 298 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: a team that has scored a lot of points in 299 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of different games that if you give them 300 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: extra opportunities, they're gonna hurt you too. So I think 301 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: it goes both ways for sure, about both teams having 302 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: the ability to score points. And I don't think this 303 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: game is no different than you're playing against anybody else. 304 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: Even though their record says they're pretty good, this is 305 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: still a really good Falconcy when they're playing at a 306 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: high level. But of course you got Hooper back. We 307 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: saw Hooper get back in this game, and we saw 308 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: him his value and what he's like. He just took, 309 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: you know, right back where he came from. I mean, 310 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: Hooper is a guy that I think Matt Ryan had 311 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: a real rapport with and you can see, you know, 312 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: I don't remember why many catches he had in the game, 313 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: but this was a guy that was somebody who Matt 314 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: depended on, and having him back involved and I think 315 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: being able to run the football game art Like you 316 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: mentioned confidence for that offensive line, and this was a 317 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: We're talking about Hooper having six targets and here he 318 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: had a couple catches in the game, but he still 319 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: was a threat and he's going to be continue to 320 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: be a threat. They got a good tight end over 321 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: the George Kittle, who I think we all saying the 322 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: highlights and everything, but this is gonna be a fun 323 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: game to watch. Man. I think you got two high 324 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: powered offenses. Both defenses are playing, you know, good other 325 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: than kimming up forty six points to New Orleans. But 326 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: I still like the fact that Falcons will go out 327 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: here and have an opportunity to win this ball game. Yeah, 328 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: it was a I don't know if you saw the game, 329 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: but it came down right to the end and they 330 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: were facing a fourth and short and Kittle makes a 331 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: catch and turns it into a big Plague, gets a 332 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: face mask, sets him up. They kicked the game winner. 333 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: They could have easily lost that game yesterday. So no, 334 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take not a perfect game, but 335 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: a near perfect game. And when I say that, I 336 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: mean they've got to protect Matt Ryan they've got to 337 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: eat some clock up. They've got to get the run 338 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: game going. They've got the town, no question about it. 339 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: With our receiving corps, with you know, with Julio and Ridley, 340 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: we don't know, you know, we know we know that 341 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: Ridley left the game with some kind of abdominal pain. 342 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: But we'll find out more about his status and we'll 343 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: find out more about Desmond Trufont too this week. But no, 344 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: they're going to have their handsful. And I think, look, 345 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: if they go into Levi Stadium and knock off San Francisco, 346 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: that's a huge win. That's a that is that's a 347 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: a head turning win. Are they capable of it? I'd 348 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: certainly think so. They've proven they can go on the 349 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: road and win and beat formidable foes. But wow, they 350 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: go into San Francisco this week and knock off the Niners, 351 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: you're gonna turn a lot of heads and you and 352 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna get their best too, because yeah, yeah, they're 353 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: still fighting for a lot. They want to keep that 354 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: home field advantage. They want to be top team in NFC. So, uh, 355 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: there's not gonna be old. They just laid down because 356 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: they're not going Yeah, it's gonna be a dog fight 357 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: for sure. Well, and you'd like to think and you're 358 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: probably gonna there's a couple extra bones or a couple 359 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: extra logs on the fire, maybe a couple extra bones 360 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: they're laying for the for the dogs. But to throw 361 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: that out there for you, but no, you got Kyle, 362 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: Kyle Shan has your former ocum. So that's gonna be 363 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that on the table. He'll 364 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: be asked about that now, he'll downplay that, but certainly 365 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to lose to his his former team. 366 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: And you know Tevin Coleman, who did not not touch 367 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: the ball much. They've kind of shifted gears gotten away 368 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: from Tevin over the last couple of weeks. Heaven will 369 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: want to have an opportunity to potentially run the rock 370 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: in this game and have some kind of impact against 371 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: his former teammates. So there's a couple extra things involved 372 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: in the game, but ultimately it comes down to the 373 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: Falcons with the pride factor going out and playing and 374 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: here's an opportunity you're going to play against a team 375 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: right now that I think a lot of people would 376 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: like having a chance to go to the Super Bowl. 377 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: On the NFC side, Yeah, you get a chance to 378 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: play those guys in their own building. You go out 379 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: there and go toe to toe with them, That says 380 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: a lot about who you are. And you mentioned the 381 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: forty nine ers are playing for home field advantage. They'd 382 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: like to stay on the West Coast for the rest 383 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: of the NFC the playoffs for sure, you know, And 384 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: that says a lot too. If if the Falcons can 385 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: go they went into New Orleans and knocked off you know, 386 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: you're talking about the one and two seeds right now 387 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: in the NFCA, and if they can go in there 388 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: and play them and go toe to toe, Dave, you know, 389 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: I almost know what the fans are going to be 390 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: saying in the mail bag. Hey, we're you know, just 391 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: like they did after New Orleans. Where this team is capable. 392 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: You know, well, I think it still goes back to 393 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: we talked about ending. Coach always talks about playing the 394 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: game in four quarters, and we all know these last 395 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: four games it's about how you finish. And people say, 396 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: what are you playing for? What are the motivations? What 397 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: do you want to accomplish? Well, you got a lot 398 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: of stuff you can want to accomplish in these last 399 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: four games. You started off the right way, getting another 400 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: win in your division, dominating Carolina. Now, like you mentioned, 401 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: get a chance to go on the road versus playoff 402 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: contending team. And these are things that when you're going 403 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: through the offseason, coaches will go back and look at 404 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: this film and say, Okay, where will at this time? 405 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: What about these guys playing at this moment? What did 406 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: they prove to us? So I think these are quality 407 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: moments in the season just as much as if you 408 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: were in the playoff picture for this organization going forward, 409 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,719 Speaker 1: who are guys we can depend on? And regardless of 410 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: where the future holds and where you're going, these games 411 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: mean a lot to the future of a lot of 412 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: different players on this team, and they gotta oh but 413 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, I know a lot of people 414 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: have been talking about just say a guy like Vic. 415 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: I mean, how big has Vic showed up in the 416 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: last few weeks. I mean, everybody know he has the building, 417 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: but he's putting some good stuff on film, and that's 418 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: what you like to see. Dave, I'm gonna wrap this 419 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: up with I'm gonna go to you and want your 420 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: take on Matt Ryan and then we'll wrap this thing up. 421 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: You know, after last week, I've got tons and tons 422 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: of mail from fans and readers about Matt Ryan. Hey, 423 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: we want a mobile quarterback, and I keep I pushed back. 424 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: I kept pushing back and said, this guy, you know, 425 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: is if you look at what he's doing and the 426 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: high level he's still playing at, you know, you need 427 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: to appreciate what he's doing. The fact that he's into 428 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: this rarefied air. Now, as you put it in your 429 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: piece today, the only nine other guys in the history 430 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: of the league put that into perspective for us a 431 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: little bit as we kind of wrap this thing up. Yeah, 432 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: I mean it talks specifically about him being able to 433 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: line up for each and every week. Right, He's this 434 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: is twelve seasons he's been in the game and has 435 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: missed a couple of games in his career. When you 436 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: put the numbers up that he's put up, that means 437 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: he's lining up each and every week. And not only 438 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: is he lining up, he's highly effective every time he 439 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: steps on the field. He's a guy you can count on. 440 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: He's a guy that understands what's going on in the field, 441 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: great teammate, all those type of things. But you know, 442 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: obviously it's an indication of the times because he's going 443 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: by some guys that maybe didn't get a chance. And 444 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are Aaron Rodgers and Roethlisberger 445 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: and Rivers, Brady Breeze. These are guys that are in 446 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: that top ten that are all currently playing, and they've 447 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: had more opportunities to throw it. But you have to 448 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: be on the field. And if you look at all 449 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: those guys, those guys have been extremely durable. They've been 450 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: guys that you could count on each and every weekend 451 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: to step out and play. And Matt Ryan is that guy. 452 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: Matt he is on the urge of doing something that 453 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: only one other player's ever done, and that's Drew brees Is. 454 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: He's on the verge of throwing for four thousand yards 455 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: for a ninth consecutive season. Breze did it twelve times. 456 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: That's those are the only two guys. Brian currently eight 457 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: consecutive seasons with four thousand yards. His stretch is the 458 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: only one that's going on. Breeze Is stretch was broken 459 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: last year. So you're talking about a guy that is 460 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: doing things that just a few people in the National 461 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: Football league have done. But it's an indication of what 462 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: he knows about the game, his ability to get a 463 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: lot of people involved, his ability to be on the 464 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: field all the time. He's one of the great players 465 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: that's ever played the game. He's the greatest quarterback in 466 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: this franchise's history, and he's going to go down as 467 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: one of the great quarterbacks has played in this league. 468 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: And this week he's going to go up against his 469 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Should be a lot of 470 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: fun to watch, all right, guys, wrap it up there, 471 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: all right, Thanks guys. This's Falcons Audible, presented by AT 472 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: and T.
