12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: the Hats go down to Atlanta to face the Falcons.

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: We need a bounce back game, but before we get

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: into it, I'm gonna send it over to NASS for

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: the injury updates. Thanks Michael Pete Carroll step to the

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: podium this week and gave some updates on safety Radley McDougald,

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: tight end Ed Dixon, tackle Dwayne Brown, and d Linan

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Ziggy on set. He's Bradley autside there I don't know

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: that yet. Um, he's not practicing today. That's all I

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: can tell you today. Um, so I can't tell you.

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what's Dixon's status. He's working really well.

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: He's um, he's going to come back next week. Um,

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: and I think next week is his first chance back?

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Is that right? Is it? Next week? He can practically

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: he's practicing next week and he based on what I'm seeing,

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: he's going to be practicing to play. And uh, that's

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: pretty optimistic right now. But I've watched his workouts a

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: number of times in the last couple of weeks, and

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: he's working hard, and he has a chance and and

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: uh meaning he has a chance to come back in

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: that week and and help us on. So we'll see

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: what happens. But that's pretty hopeful. But he looks good

33
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: dayne the old practice today. Um, he's gonna get some

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: more today. Yep. I was ziggy sentry. We'll see how

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: he does today. He ran really well this morning and um,

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: he looked he looked like he's really close to getting back.

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: So we have a chance to see him play this week.

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Safety Lano Hill is also out with an elbow injury.

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: That's probably gonna keep him out for another couple of weeks.

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: Another move. The Seahawks made a big roster move this week,

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: bringing in former Lion safety Quandre Diggs. Diggs was a

42
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl alternate last year after a seventy eight tackle,

43
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: three interception season with eight passes defended. He's going to

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: be a big help in the secondary. As I said

45
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Bradley and Lano Hars dealing with some injuries,

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be big help to that Seahawks secondary.

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: All right, Now, we'll get into the Week eight matchup

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons. Of Falcons have lost five in

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: a row and included an ugly loss to the Rams.

50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: They fell thirty seven to ten. And it sounded something

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: like this, third down and two and again the spot

52
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: of ball is the right hash and the thirteen of

53
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta goth breaks the hubble they set up two by two.

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: He takes the quick snap, looking right all the way,

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: lobs the ball to Gurley out of the backfield goal

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: over the summer. He brings it in touchdown time. Gurley,

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: with one of the great cat up his career back

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: in Georgia, ran past Vic Beasley for the first touchdown

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: of the game. What a play and what a throw

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: by Jared Golf. Here Todd's able to catch the ball,

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: tuck it, get two feet down and find a way

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: to hang onto the ball. But to throw by Jared Golf,

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean he drops that ball in the bucket. And

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: we've seen quarterbacks this drill where quarterbacks are standing about

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: twenty yards away from a trash can they try to

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: drop in the bucket. Will Jared Golf just did that.

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: And what a catch by Todd Gurley, Mike, It's been

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: a long month in a little bit, five weeks, five

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: straight losses for the Falcons. What do you see from

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: them last week against the Rams? What I saw nas

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: was a lot of what I've seen all this year

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: from these guys and offense that can get it done

73
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: sometimes and the defense that can stop nobody their last

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: or bottom to last in almost every major statistical category

75
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: for a defense. Also, Matt Ryan went down. He bent

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: his leg awkwardly on the sack caused by Aaron Donald

77
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth, causing a fumble that Donald recovered. Ryan

78
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: limped off the field, went to the medical tent. They

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: took him in the locker room in an ankle with

80
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: seven thirty six were mating in the game, So third

81
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: now and the full ten day. At the twenty eight

82
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: Rams lead twenty seven to three, there comes the pressure

83
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Ryan will be sacked by Aaron Donald, and Donald's got

84
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: the football and the play is gonna be whistled dead

85
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: and I hope Ryan's okay. It looks like the right

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: ankle ruling on the field is a fumble recovered by

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: number ninety nine of the rounds, who was then touched

88
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: down by contact at the spot of the recovery. Oh boy,

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles' ball person's head. Now, this is a really

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: severe bin to the right leg of Ryan, because Donald

91
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: falls thirteen minutes thirty eight seconds on the right leg

92
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: in a complete whiff of So I don't know how

93
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: Switzer ends up one on one on Aaron Donald, but

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: that's that's what happened, and that's a no win situation.

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: So obviously Matt Ryan went down in that game did

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: not return. Here was dan Quinn kind of giving a

97
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: status up on Ryan as they head into this week,

98
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: So everybody's waiting on a status update on Matt Ryan.

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: He does have a sprained ankle. We'll be preparing both ways.

100
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: If he can, that's great, and if he can't, then

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: Dubuye would come at a good time for him. Next week.

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: He's already in the pool running this. You guys been

103
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: around him. He'll try anything he can, so if he can't,

104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that's the reason Matt shob is heres for moments like that.

105
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: If he is called upon, he'll certainly be ready to

106
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: do that, much like it is at every position. So man,

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: it sucks to see Matt Ryan go down. Whenever a

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: quarterback gets rolled up on buy an offensive lineman, defensive lineman,

109
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: it usually isn't good. And it really hurts this team

110
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: because that was one of the few Brice busts they have.

111
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: Their offense was getting it done. Now you lose your leader,

112
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: your Pro Bowler, your MVP, you your Super Bowl not

113
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: winning but participant quarterback, and that really hurts the team.

114
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: And before he went down he was sixteen to twenty nine,

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nine yards and one interception. Then

116
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Mats Schwab comes in. This guy has like nine lines

117
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: in NFL. He's been a lead for about fifteen years now.

118
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: When he did replace Ryan, he had a ten yard

119
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: touchdown to Austin Hooper with two thirty six remaining. Also,

120
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: what happened in this game? Did you see DeVonta Freeman

121
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald get locked up? Man, that's his frustration

122
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: right there. When when someone puts their hands on you

123
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and lists you off your feet, You're not gonna you're

124
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: gonna feel a certain type of way about that. Man. Yeah,

125
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at him. I mean, you got to

126
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: be professional. Maybe not throw a punch, I get it.

127
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: But as a man, as a grown man, if another

128
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: growl man picks me up and lists me off the ground,

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: I gotta do something. Yeah, I know, I'm gonna feel

130
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: certain type of way about that. So and I get it. Man,

131
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: when you're when you're a team that has as much

132
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: talent as the Falcons do and they're loaded offensively, when

133
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: you've lost five in a row, I mean, frustrations are

134
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna boil over. If you lose five in a row,

135
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: you lose your quarterback, you're at home. Things happened, but

136
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: the lone bright spot was Julio Jones. He seems the

137
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: ball six receptions in ninety three yards. Julio, keep your

138
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: head up. I kind of feel bad for this dude.

139
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: He's wasted a lot of good years in his prime

140
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: on a team that's been struggling. So we're gonna move

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: over the key matchup Falcon starting QB versus Seahawks front seven.

142
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: For once, we are playing a quarterback that will not

143
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: run outside the pocket and give as a chance to

144
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: just put hands on the QB hits taging for losses.

145
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: We need that nast No, we absolutely do, because it's

146
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: like this is the complete polar opposite of anything that

147
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: they've faced the last couple of weeks they've had. Obviously,

148
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, you're preparing for that guy. You're not going

149
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: to see a guy like him again, So thank the

150
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Lord if we see him again, Hopefulli'll be in February,

151
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: But until then, we're not going to see a guy

152
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: like that. So it's really it's gonna be really good

153
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: for our front seven to get a guy that only

154
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: gets success from the pocket struggles thrown from the run.

155
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Whether it's Matt or it's Ryan, So either way, it's

156
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: really good for the Seahawks defensive line. Like mentioned earlier,

157
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about Matt Ryan a bit. He's a twenty

158
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: sixteen MVP, four time pro bowler, first time All Pro.

159
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: Despite the fight has win a lost record. Ryme's having

160
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good twenty nineteen. He's two thousand, one hundred

161
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: and seventy yards, second in NFL, just behind Patrick Mahomes

162
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns, eight interceptions. If he can't go, like we said,

163
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Matt Schwab is gonna get it done. I like how

164
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: coaches kind of downplay injuries. Yeah, high ankle sprain. Will

165
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: see how he does that thing look bad. Sua get

166
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: ready to go. You're gonna get your chance. Sua has

167
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: been in the league for fifteen years, has twenty four

168
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: thousand passing yards and one hundred thirty four tds. He

169
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: led the Houston Texas to several playoff appearances. So he's

170
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: not a slout. This guy's been here, He's won some games,

171
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: He's been in some battles. He has some experience. No,

172
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: for sure, he's a two time Pro Bowler. He led

173
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: some pretty good Texans teams earlier this decade. So no,

174
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: the guy can that can play, and he's a When

175
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: it comes to backup quarterbacks, that's about the best that

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: you can get. You want a guy that's been established,

177
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: he's had success in the league and typically you want

178
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: that guy to come in be able to win you

179
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: a couple games and not completely have to change your

180
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: whole offensive game plan or something like that. Exactly. I'd

181
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: say the only other backup quarterback who can get it

182
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: done is that boy Teddy down in New Onleans. And

183
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: we know all about that guy, all right. So for

184
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: the first time again they're playing a pocket passer. We

185
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: expect our defensive line to put some pressure on him.

186
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: Read is going into a second game. We'll see if

187
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: Osa gets healthy. Clown, he's making some noise. Time for

188
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: us to put it all together. Another matchup Falcons receivers

189
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: versus Seahawk secondary. Man, these uh, these dbs better be ready.

190
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: You're going up against Julio Jones. I saw a clip

191
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: from Larry Fitzgerald last week. He tapped Kyler Murrain to

192
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: heap and said, man eleven. Fitzgerald said, he's the best

193
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: he's ever seen. You got one of the goats in

194
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: the game himself calling a youngster the best he's ever seen.

195
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: You know, this man is dangerous. There's no weakness in

196
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: this dude's game. He can run the short routes, he

197
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: can go up top, he catch the high footballs, the

198
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: low footballs, the run after catch is crazy. Um, He's

199
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: just a once in a lifetime type player. Love watching

200
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: this dude play. If you went into a lab and

201
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, I need to create the best wide

202
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: receiver I can think about, Julio Jones, what you come

203
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: up with. Yeah, I mean, the dude is a physical

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: freak and no matter what, he's gonna get the ball.

205
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: I mean, he the numbers, don't lie man and goat

206
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: saying year to go. I mean, I can't complain. I can't,

207
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't laugh about that. I'm not gonna

208
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: argue with fitz. Baby Calvin really a other weapon. Twenty

209
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: nine receptions, three hundred and seven and three yards four tds.

210
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: I really like this dude's route running. He really gets

211
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: on the safeties, good indicators. Those are the jaff steps

212
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: at the top of the routes. I love watching this

213
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: dude run routes. While it's not a receiver. They also

214
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: have Austin Hooper, who has been great thus far this season.

215
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: Forty six receptions, five hundred, twenty six yards four tds.

216
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Those three alone are gonna give us problems, or at

217
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: least attempt to give us problems. But what I'm encouraged

218
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: by is the play of the secondary of these past

219
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: two weeks. I think they put him two solid weeks

220
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: together and maybe they're ready for this. They've seen a

221
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: Beckham in the landry. Now they're gonna see a Jones,

222
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: a really and a Hooper. And thankfully for us, Sanoo

223
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: got traded to the Patriots, so we don't have to

224
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: deal with that one less problem. Because Mohammed Sine's a ball.

225
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna have a great year with the Patriots.

226
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: But lucky for us, if we don't get the team

227
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: this week, no serve another matchup to watch Chris Carson

228
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: versus the Falcons front seven. We need to get back

229
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: to what we do all right. After having three straight

230
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: one hundred yard rushing games, Chris Carson was held to

231
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: sixty five yards last Sunday, and I think it was

232
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: war because of skim. The Baltimore Ravens blitz along the

233
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: edges a lot, and it seemed like we were trying

234
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: to stretch the field east and west and hit those

235
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: edges instead of hitting the straight up the gut. We

236
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: talked to Ray Roberts yesterday about this and he mentioned

237
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: the same thing. Just get back to what we're doing

238
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: North South running, get him on dbs, get him on safeties,

239
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: and let him run through those guys. The Falcons are

240
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: giving up one hundred and thirteen yards per game on

241
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: the ground. I think it's time for us to get

242
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: back to what we do. We're currently seventh in the

243
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: NFL rushing with five hundred and sixty nine yards through

244
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: seven games. Chris Carson is seventh. Another matchup to watch

245
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson versus the Falcons secondary. Russell Wilson had his

246
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: worst game of the season last week. A lot of

247
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: guys have that type of game every week now, so

248
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: I we're spoiled to his standards. When your standards are

249
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: at MVP level and at the top of his game, Yeah,

250
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: when you have a game like that, it's gonna seem

251
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: like the world's falling. But Russell literally just had an

252
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: average gabage to his standards, so he's gonna be fine. Yeah,

253
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: A B plus game rese of those eight plus games,

254
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: all right, Falcons are the eighth rank pass defense in

255
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, allowing two hundred and seventy four yards through

256
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: the air each week. Also, the Falcons ranked thirty first

257
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: and points allowed at thirty one points per game, we're

258
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: around the fourth or fifth ranks scoring offense, so this

259
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: is perfect for us. Russell Wilson is an MVP candidate

260
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: for a reason, and we expect him to have a

261
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: really big day this weekend down South. Indoors don't have

262
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: to worry about the weather. The noise will be a factor,

263
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: but it's nice to play in the controlled elements where

264
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: we can do whatever we want to. Yeah, and if

265
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: we do like you said the previous key matchup, if

266
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: Chris Carson gets going, we get him going like he's

267
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: been going all season, right, and then Russell plays off Tad,

268
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: that's when those play actions start hitting. I'd love to

269
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: see Russell hit Tyler lock In on a deep bomb,

270
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: you know, seventy five yards or something like that, after

271
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Carson pounding for five for six for seven,

272
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: and boom, go over the top. So I feel pretty

273
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: good about our matchups. Defensively, I feel good. Man. I

274
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: think we're gonna come back home six and two have

275
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: to victory. We gotta create ton of us get back

276
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: to what we started against the Browns, and we need

277
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback. There's a lot of times

278
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: we've been around the quarterback, we've made a move, but

279
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: we wanted to fill us all right. We want we

280
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: want him to be sore after the game. We want

281
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: him to know that this defensive line and defensive front

282
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: this came after and smatch you in the face. We

283
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: need to run the ball. When the Hawks do that,

284
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: they're incredibly hard to be. Take advantage of the falcon

285
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: struggling defense. This is like when you see this a

286
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: wounded opponent and he's a limping on the field. He's

287
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: limping to the tunnel man. We gotta jump on him.

288
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Don't give him any kind of home. The one advantage

289
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: they have is that they're at home in that dome

290
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: and he gets extremely loud. But I think this is

291
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: set up for us to have a good game. It

292
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: absolutely is. And we were jumping in ahead. We're four

293
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: and on the road. We're four and on the road,

294
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: and they've got Pete Carroll and the coaching staff has

295
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: gotten the formula. They know what they do. They all

296
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: the players get on the early bus, they leave on

297
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: Friday for a Sunday game. They got all that camaraderie

298
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: and they figured out what to do on the road.

299
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: Ten am time does not matter. They're rolling on the road,

300
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: and this sets up perfectly for him, sets up perfectly.

301
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: We got a herd quarterback, we got a poor, poor

302
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: rushing defense, poor passing defense. Snow is gone, so you you

303
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: gotta worry about Julio, Ridley and Hooper. But I think

304
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: this is set up for us to have a great weekend. Twelves,

305
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: tune in watch this game, bounce back, get right game,

306
