Maybe it was sometime during the 63 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: pandemic and maybe Arthur Smith air, but they used to 64 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: play the song Friday by Sir Charles Jones in the 65 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: locker room on every Friday, and it was just kind 66 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: of like the smoothest best way to kick off the weekend. 67 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: I think is a big fan of that one.

I just published a 80 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: piece on Atlanta Falcons dot com Thursday kind of breaking 81 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: down the pats left for Atlanta to reach the postseason. 82 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: But spoiler alert, there are not many. In fact, there's 83 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: really kind of just one way for the Falcons to 84 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: win the division. Tarn, Do you want to walk us 85 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: through how that could happen? 86 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, because you and I were in this room 87 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: going through that New York Times playoff simulator like it 88 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: was Mario Kart or. 89 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: Something so much fun. 90 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 3: It was like click click, click click. 91 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: I felt like the Lizards Laserlazer, Lizard, I did it right. 92 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 4: But basically what we came to the conclusion was, first 93 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: of all, the Falcons must win out five games left, 94 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 4: you have to go five and oh, the Buccaneers and 95 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 4: Panthers need to only win one game apiece through the 96 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 4: rest of the season, and the caveat there is that 97 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 4: those soul wins have to come against each other. 98 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, they got two games left head to head, they 99 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: got to split those. 100 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 4: They have to split them, and that would put Atlanta 101 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: a top the NFC South with a nine to eight 102 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: record while the other two are eight and nine. 103 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: Cant really bank on that happening. 104 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 1: It's it's tough. 105 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: There's a chance you want to say, oh, wait, no, 106 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 4: we always do what he's talking about, Paul, I'll say, 107 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 4: so you're telling me, I'm gonna stop talking. 108 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: And it has too many things in her brain right now. 109 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: As much as it thinks though, the Falcons need to 110 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: be the Saint's biggest fans over the next couple of 111 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: weeks because the Saints have the Bucks and the Panthers 112 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: on hap and they've got to win both of those games. 113 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: So again, like there's it's a long shot at this point. 114 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: There's also a way to make the wild card, but 115 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: that's kind of even longer shot. 116 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 3: So that math was a lot more companile. 117 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, to put me in a dark 118 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: room for a while. So we're we're gonna kind of 119 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: set the playoffs to the side for the time being, 120 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: and maybe if the Falcons are four to oh and 121 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: all of those things, that well, we'll bring it back 122 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: at a future date. But given that kind of where 123 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: is the team right now and what is on their 124 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: minds Tarran and what's left to really play for at 125 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: this point for them. 126 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 4: That was the biggest question mark after the loss of 127 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: the Jets, because you're like, you're not stacking the way 128 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 4: you wanted to a loss there wasn't ideal whatsoever. And 129 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 4: so you had someone like Katien Ellis who's a captain 130 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: and say we got to play for pride. You have 131 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: Jake Matthews, who has been here since they were playing Friday. 132 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: In the locker room that he was dancing to them. 133 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 4: We don't know I would pay to see that, but 134 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 4: he said, I just think taking pride and doing a 135 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 4: good job. So pride is such an ambiguous term that 136 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: when you do start to get in the specifics and 137 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 4: ask people like what does that mean? 138 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: What do you want to accomplish? 139 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 4: Things like that, you had Kirk Cousins saying like let's 140 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: see an improvement in third downs through these next five games. 141 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: You had Ruca roo this week being like I just 142 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 3: want to. 143 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: Pull a whole week together, like feel like everything went 144 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: as planned when it comes to preparation, pre game, the 145 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 4: game itself, in postgame, like a whole solid week of 146 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 4: just execution and so. And going back to Cadan Ellis again, 147 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: I think this quote kind of like summizes what they 148 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 4: should want for the rest of the season. Thank you, 149 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: she writes, But he said quote the ability to finish 150 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 4: out those games is really what separates teams dot dot dot. 151 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 3: What do you do in those I'm close games? 152 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: This year? 153 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 4: It just hasn't gone our way yet. We haven't made 154 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: it go our way yet. I think the made caveat there, 155 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 4: the like correction of his own words speaks volumes to 156 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: like they know it's on them that it hasn't gone 157 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 4: that way. So I think that would be the biggest wins, 158 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 4: Like say there's like a really close game, Say it's 159 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: like this weekend, even with a big game on tap, 160 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 4: where you're in the fourth quarter and it is a 161 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 4: one score game and you just not just close it out, 162 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: but maybe put that final bullseye on the board. 163 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that makes sense. I mean, Tory, what's kind 164 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: of your biggest question about the team over this last 165 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: little stretch. Yeah, my biggest. 166 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: Question is is because I feel like I've been doing 167 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: a lot of looking ahead to twenty twenty six already, 168 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: just by nature of what we have seen over the 169 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: last few weeks and since kind of the falcon's coming 170 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: off of the bye, And the question that I have 171 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: is like, can you do enough in the last five 172 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: weeks of the season to make people feel better about 173 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six and what you have going for you 174 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six and what you have in place 175 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. Like, I feel weird saying that 176 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: with five weeks left in the season, but the fact 177 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: of the matter is is that this team is four 178 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: and eight right now. They have not been able a 179 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: string and stack wins together, as you said, I mean, 180 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: and I feel like it sounds harsh, but in saying that, like, 181 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: the expectations and the talent of this team going into 182 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: the season was one thing, and we're looking at this 183 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: team in a very different way now and kind of 184 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: like my question is is, like, so, what are you 185 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: gonna do about it. You've been saying, players and coaches 186 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: have been all saying kind of the same thing. It's 187 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: like not playing up to expectations, not executing accordingly, needing 188 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: to play better in the moments that matter, the critical moments. Like, Okay, 189 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 2: that's where you are. You have five weeks left in 190 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: the season.

I don't know, I got recognize him 216 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: if you sat right in in front of me. 217 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: I think to kind of put a bow on that. 218 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: That first one is like, it does feel like going 219 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: into this off season there had been questions in past 220 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: off seasons, but I feel like we've known what those 221 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: main questions are, or at least with the main kind 222 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: of we've got to fix this or we've got to 223 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: go pursue this quarterback pass rusher exactly. 224 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 225 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: Right now it kind of feels a little more ambiguous. 226 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like there's all right, we know what 227 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: our clear kind of need is. We know it because 228 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: the games have been so close and the losses have 229 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: come in different ways. That's where I think these next 230 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: five weeks will be illuminating. And that starts obviously on 231 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: Sunday against a very very good team in the Seattle Seahawks, 232 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: and the matchup that I think is is kind of 233 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: most interesting for this game, and we'll maybe define it 234 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: is Atlanta's run game, which has been their answer all 235 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: season long against Seattle's run defense, which is incredible. I mean, 236 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers or second in the 237 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: league and kind of total rushing yards per game. Granted, 238 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: teams are often behind against them, so they're throwing the ball, 239 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: so that number can sometimes be skewed. This one can't 240 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: be THEO their fourth in rushing yards per play, So 241 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: this is a legitimate run defense tory kind of what 242 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: do you think the Falcons are up against in in 243 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: Seattle's run defense? 244 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I think I was talking to some guys 245 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: who cover the Seahawks and how for a long time 246 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: and earlier this week, and I think, what what was 247 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: something that interesting that they said that I've kind of 248 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: taken with me into the week is that it feels 249 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: like this is an unstoppable force meeting and immovable object 250 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: and that like, but Jean Robinson is this like what 251 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: what are Y'll laughing again? 252 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: Look at? I know she wants something. 253 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 4: I wanted to come up with a good analogy for 254 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 4: an unstoppable force against an immovable object. The best I 255 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 4: came up with is my empty bank account versus the 256 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: Tai Team. 257 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: Martinis at Sirin, a very niche metaphor. 258 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 4: I was like, my bank account versus the first Sunday 259 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 4: Funday after the season ends. 260 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. 261 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you haven't tried the Tai team, Martini 262 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: said Sirin of Sailand, I would go and try them. 263 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 3: They're very good. 264 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: But An, I don't know, we all expected so much 265 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: more out of me because I was like, I'm going 266 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 4: to come up with a good one for this moment. 267 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 4: It will look right at me and I'm like, don't 268 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 4: make eye contact. 269 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: I just saw y'all smirking at each other and I 270 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: was like, what's up happening? 271 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: I feel him looking at. 272 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 2: Me anyways, But that was kind of what they were 273 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: saying about, like how how good and stout the Seattle 274 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: run defense has been in comparison to what we have 275 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 2: seen Bejon Robinson, Tyler Algier, this run game do periodically 276 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: throughout the course of this season, and I think that's 277 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: what a lot of people are saying is the biggest 278 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: matchup of this game. 279 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you wrote a little bit about Bejon earlier this week. 280 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, what from the Falcons perspective, like, should they 281 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: be going into this relying on Bejon. 282 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 4: To do gosh, just being Jon Robinson, Like, just let 283 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 4: Bajon be Beajon because as you said, like I wrote 284 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: this story earlier in the week of how well Bajeon 285 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: is performing even with a team that has a losing record, 286 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 4: And there I reached out to stats Perform, shout out 287 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 4: to our partner and just wanted to understand, like really, 288 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 4: how impressive what he's doing is, especially given the team's 289 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 4: overall output. And for example, Robinson leads the NFL in 290 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: average yards from scrimmage with one hundred and thirty two 291 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 4: point four per game. The last two players to finish 292 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 4: this season atop that leaderboard specifically were Christian McCaffrey and 293 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 4: Sequon Barkley, and both those teams went the Super Bowls 294 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 4: in their respective team. 295 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, usually you. 296 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 4: Think amazing player, also amazing team making postseason big run 297 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 4: full stop. 298 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: Everybody always says you got to have a good run 299 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: game in the NFL, Right, Yeah. 300 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 4: Spotlight goes on both individual and team normally. Well, Jean 301 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: deserves his own spotlight. Like there's just so much like 302 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 4: that he's doing well. And even if we stick to 303 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: like the present day stats, the other four players who 304 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 4: are top five in that average yards from skimmage per 305 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 4: game are on winning teams. There's McCaffrey who we already mentioned, 306 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, Jumior Gibbs, Gibbs, I did not 307 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 4: come out right. 308 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: He's an Alabama boy, Georgia boy he went to he 309 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: was from Rome. 310 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 3: He's from Rome, Georgia looget he is us. 311 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: Basically and Jremieer Gibbs like, just put us side by 312 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: side and me same person. 313 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: That's a Hallmark movie. I love it. 314 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 4: I don't even get me started. But as I'm losing 315 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 4: my China thought, yes, but Jean is good. 316 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: Well if he's if he's less good on Sunday, shall 317 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: we say if he's bottled up by Seattle's great run defense, 318 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: like what is the counter? What's the latest on Drake London? 319 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: Will he be back? Because I kind of think when 320 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: you're facing an offense that has been as explosive as Seattle's, 321 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: there's a chance that they're able to put up north 322 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: of thirty points, you're gonna need to potentially be able 323 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: to match that, even though Atlanta's defense has been great 324 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: this year. So what is kind of their their plan 325 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: b if Bijon does get bottled up a little bit, Well. 326 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 4: Their other star player is currently injured. I mean he 327 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 4: might come back. And let me say this specifically. Raheem 328 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 4: Morris said Wednesday that Drake London has progressed from a 329 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: week to week status to a day to day's status 330 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: with his knee injusty injury. 331 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: I cannot finish whole words. Okay, he did not practice, 332 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 3: he said. No, I was about to he did not 333 00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 3: practice Wednesday. 334 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: But more Luras said London has been working with the trainers, 335 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 4: quote doing running stuff or the running stuff is in quotes. 336 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 4: We don't know about Thursday, since we're recording this as 337 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 4: the team is currently at practice. 338 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: Actually just got the injury report. He did not practice 339 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: on Thursday. He was not a participant in practice on Thursday. 340 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: Okay, doing running stuff. 341 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: I don't know. 342 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 4: I don't that's back to back days without practicing, which 343 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 4: normally would be concerning, but not with someone like Drake London. 344 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 4: I mean, Raheem said, when he's ready to go, Drake 345 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 4: will be out there ready to go playing at a 346 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 4: very high level. So even if, like we get to 347 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 4: game day and he was a d NP all week, 348 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: I wouldn't even be surprised if somehow he plays, So 349 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 4: I would wait until Sunday to completely rule him out 350 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 4: when those inactives come out. 351 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: It's crazy, Tory. I feel like coming into this season, 352 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: we were so focused on the offense and what they 353 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: could be, and we're looking at these first round picks 354 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: all over the place, and just like the number of 355 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: weapons that Atlanta has at its disposal, and here we 356 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: are in Week fourteen and it's kind of like, Jean Robinson, 357 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: he's clearly your but if Drake is out. I know 358 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: Kyle had a really good game last week against New York, 359 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: but it just feels like there's again more questions a 360 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: little bit than answers right now for Atlanta's offense. 361 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. What's crazy to me is that. 362 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: The Falcons have not really been able to rely on 363 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: individuals that they went into the season believing and having 364 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: concrete evidence that you could rely on. And what I 365 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: mean by that is Darneille Mooney has not been close 366 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: to what he was last year, had the injury that 367 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 2: I think lingered really deeply into kind of his progression 368 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: to get back to form even physically, so you don't 369 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: really have Darneil Mooney the same way you did. Ray 370 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: McCloud is no longer on this team. Drake London, you've 371 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 2: not had him for the last two weeks potentially three 372 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: because of a knee injury. And then there are guys 373 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: within depth that Okay Caderill Hodge, Casey Washington, two individuals 374 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: that you've put either draft capital on or you you know, 375 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: brought in through free agency and has really made an 376 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: impact for your team. Casey Washington for two weeks in 377 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 2: a row has been in a healthy scratch. Kaderyl Hodge 378 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: last week was also a healthy scratch along with Casey Washington. 379 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: I specifically asked Rahim Morris, like, what's going on there, 380 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: because these are pieces of depth that you want to 381 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: be able to rely on and you're kind of having 382 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: to make other decisions, and he said that game day 383 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: decisions are performance space, and right now they don't really 384 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: feel as though they're getting enough out of the players 385 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: based on what they're asking them to do. And I 386 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: think that's a big problem for a receiver room that 387 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: your number one guy is hurt, your number two guy 388 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: hasn't really been performing to the level of production that 389 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: you've seen him do in the past, and then you 390 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 2: have kind of these backups, these depth pieces that are 391 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: healthy scratches on game days. It's unfortunate because you went 392 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: into this season. I know I was one of those 393 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: people that went into this season feeling so good about what. 394 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: You had in your receiver room. 395 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 2: You had three guys returning off of career years in 396 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: various statistics, and to now feel like where this receiver 397 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 2: room is now and feeling like you go into twenty 398 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: twenty six needing to retool it around Drake London, it's 399 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: a tough pill to swallow. 400 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean anytime the good teams around the league, 401 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: usually you can spotlight a few guys who took a 402 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: little bit of a leap or a step up. And 403 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: when you've got young players, especially in a room like 404 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: wide receiver or defensive back, those are prime areas where 405 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: you maybe draft guys in day two, day three, and 406 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: then you work to develop them because you like skill sets. 407 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: And it just kind of feels like defensively, you can 408 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: point to Brandon Dorles developed really nicely. De Alford has 409 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: developed really nicely offensively. It's harder, I think, to find 410 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: some of those guys, and that's where you're feeling it 411 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: maybe right now as injuries naturally tick up throughout the season. 412 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: Somebody who has been just nails since he was drafted 413 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: in the first round, though, is aj Terrell. The Pro 414 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: Bowl story went up on Thursday, argument for why AJ 415 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: Trell should be in the Pro Bowl. Also toy, he 416 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: had some other really big news this week. 417 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was named the Falcons nominee. Well I guess 418 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: club Winner club winner. He's the club winner of the 419 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: Walter Payton Man of the Year for the Falcons. 420 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 3: Really big deal. 421 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 2: Please go check out my story because this is kind 422 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 2: of a story that I've been following with AJ, that 423 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: I've had conversations with AJ about since Grady Jarrett left 424 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: to go to Chicago, Like the talking about having a 425 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 2: guy from Atlanta be a hometown guy, giving back to 426 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: the community, playing very well on the field. Like AJ 427 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 2: really took that on and I think that that process 428 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: has been seamless to kind of have the baton given 429 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: to Ajrell. 430 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 3: So go check out that story. 431 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: Walter Payton Man of the Year on Atlanta Falcons dot 432 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: Com right now and check. 433 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 3: Out the video. 434 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: They were able to surprise aj On earlier this week 435 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 2: by having his brother, who's a cornerback at Clemson, drive 436 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: down and be the one to tell him that he's 437 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 2: the Walter Payton Man of the Year. 438 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 3: It had me tearing up before nine am. I was like, 439 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 3: I need my coffee. 440 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: Well, hey, he might need his brother to come down 441 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: and help him with this matchup on Sunday because they're 442 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: going against the best receiver in the league in twenty 443 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: twenty five, Jackson Smith and Jigba. He has just been 444 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: lights out for Seattle. I believe he still leads all 445 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: receivers in yards this season, and kind of like Drake 446 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: has been doing here, It's been a little bit of 447 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: a one man show for Seattle, but they lead. They're 448 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: second in the league an explosive rate offensively through the air. 449 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: So aj is gonna have to kind of be on 450 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: his p's and q's just throughout the day. I think 451 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: on Sunday, like Tory, what do you think of this 452 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: matchup overall between these two guys, I'm excited for. 453 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: It's the premier type of matchup that you are most 454 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: looking forward to. I think And what's really interesting, and 455 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: this doesn't really have anything to do with AJ Terrell, 456 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: but it's a stat that I came across that is 457 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: I think indicative of the connection that Sam Darnold and 458 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: Json have together. And it's that these two guys have 459 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: connected twenty one times for over five hundred yards and 460 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: four touchdowns off of play action this season, which is 461 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: over twenty yards per attempt, making them the only quarterback 462 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: receiver duo to have combined for more than forty such 463 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: yards the two of them have combined. This is the 464 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 2: crazy part. The two of them have combined for more 465 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 2: play action passing yards by themselves than eight other entire 466 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: NFL offenses. 467 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 3: Like, that's insane. That's a crazy step to me. 468 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: I think it's I mean, I think it's like one 469 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 2: of those things where it shows one trends in the league. 470 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 2: I think it shows trends in the league. But I 471 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 2: also think it shows that this connection between quarterback and 472 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 2: receiver is on another level at this point in time. 473 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 2: And it's why having Ajterrell as a piece of this 474 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: is gonna matter. Because Ada Terrell is one of the 475 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: top twenty best corners in the league's top ten and 476 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: certain metrics according to what you look at. 477 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean he is number one in terms at 478 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: least among qualified corners with three hundred coverage snaps, in 479 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: the few number of targets and when you. 480 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: Yeah and hasn't had a touchdown, not given out the touchdown. 481 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: He is one of I believe three players in the 482 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: league and again two over three hundred coverage snaps. And 483 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: I use that as a breakdown because the more snaps 484 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: you play, obviously you're more prone to give up those 485 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: vid He's got the fewest reception receptions allowed, fewest yards 486 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: allowed among those corners, and kind of the greatest sign 487 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: of respect for a cornerback is how rarely a quarterback 488 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: throws in your direction, and AJ is getting thrown at 489 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: less than anybody else. So I think that's kind of 490 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: the best argument you could make as to why AJ 491 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: should be in the Pro Bowl. Obviously, with a big 492 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: game on Sunday, like, he'll have the chance to make 493 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: the strongest argument out there on the field, and that 494 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: it's play due the talking. But were there anybody, Terran, 495 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: anybody else kind of Pro Bowl wise that you wanted 496 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: to give a shout out to or make the argument 497 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: for right here. 498 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 4: Well, I already did this, so I might as well 499 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: do it again. Here is why Drake London should receive 500 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 4: your Pro Bowl vote. He has missed three games and 501 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 4: still has more total receiving yards than the rest of 502 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 4: his position mates combined, and even with those absences, he 503 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: still ranks in the top ten among all NFC wide 504 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 4: receivers in every major category. 505 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: Come on, I think he was like third when he 506 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: went out. 507 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. 508 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 4: Like to remain there despite missing back to back games 509 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 4: just goes to show what he has already done and 510 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: why he is already worthy of a vote. 511 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: What about you, toy, I mean, like, who else? Yeah? 512 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: Who else are you voting for? If you're not voting 513 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 3: for Jon London? True? 514 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: Good point. Okay, fine, you can vote for both of them, 515 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: But there's no one in the league I would argue 516 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: right now that's playing the way that Bajeon Robinson is 517 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: playing with the style that Bejon Robinson plays with. I 518 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 2: think my biggest concern about Jon, and this is something 519 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: we've talked about for a long time about this team overall, 520 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 2: is that he's on a four win team right now. 521 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 2: So my plead to people is like, don't let your 522 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 2: anger about like the lack of wins get in the 523 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: way of you voting for someone like Bajon Robinson, who 524 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: is a i'll say it, generational talent who deserves his 525 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: flowers for what he's been able to do this year 526 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: as well as kind of like who he's been, I 527 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: mean just who he's been in since he's been in 528 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: the league. He deserves as the NFL leader in scrimmage 529 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: yards right now, like he deserves the opportunity to kind 530 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: of be on that stage. 531 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean, the NFL is a football, is 532 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: a team sport until it comes to Pro Bowl voting 533 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: and then it could be individuals.
