1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another edition of Falcon's

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Final Whistle. I am Will McFadden, joined by Tory mclaney

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: and Tarren Walk. We are breaking down the first on

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: field practice. We are back of Atlanta Falcons training camp.

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: We are back, baby, we have never been so back.

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: I just want to start. Yeah, I have not I

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: have never been so bad. We are so so back.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: How many more times can we say the word back?

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Well more back? Tory? Yeah, what was your kind of

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: initial impression of the first day of training camp.

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: It was a little boring. WHOA, definitely back. It was

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: a little boring.

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: And I say this, but what's hilarious is is, as

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: we later found out, like once practice was over, it

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: actually wasn't that boring if you were a player. And

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: what I mean by this is they were very scripted

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: in their very first practice. And Raheem told us as

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: we were kind of about to go out to practice,

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: he was like, this is going to be a very

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: pretty easy practice, almost basically like a jog through.

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: We're not going full one hundred that you can't.

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 4: Goes more walking than jogging even right exactly it was

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,639
Speaker 4: twenty five percent.

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so you go out there and you're still

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: expecting there to be kind of these like one on

26
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: one battles and individuals and seven on sevens, and there

27
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: was none of that.

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: A normal training camp.

29
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: It was normal.

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: It was literally just team run through of plays, play designs, and.

31
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 5: It was basically Mini camp again exactly.

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: It was almost what they ended on in Mini camp,

33
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 3: where they're running through kind of these play designs, and

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: I was just kind of bored, Like I was kind

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: of just like, well, here they go, another handoff to Bijon.

36
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: I did look over and you pretty early on had

37
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: the notepad balanced on on the head.

38
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I've reached a point of like no return

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: when the note I have a notebook and if oh,

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: which right, hear it and if it goes kind of

41
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: like this on my head and I'm like just balancing it,

42
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: We've reached a point in camp where I'm I'm kind

43
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: of just like, yeah, I'm just here watching.

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: Can you do the old podcast?

45
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: I probably could? I probably could. We'll do that one

46
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: of these days.

47
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Perfect.

48
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: But what was interesting Kirk Cousins came up after practice

49
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: and we were talking to him about how the day went,

50
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: and it was not boring for him. And the reason

51
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: why is because he said he got the script for

52
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: practice the night before, so last night from Zach Rogain

53
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: cheating exactly cheating, he wasn't bored and so he was

54
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: talking about how he looked at it, and he was like,

55
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: this is actually very daunting.

56
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: We're going through a lot.

57
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: There is a lot of stuff that we were hitting on,

58
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: and he was like, Zach Rominson threw a lot at us.

59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: He was like, I was a little surprised when I

60
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: saw what we would be doing.

61
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: I mean just in terms of the number of motions,

62
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: the formations, the concepts, the volume of the offense. And

63
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: they literally had play one to play like eighty seven

64
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: fully scripted out and they were doing it. That's what

65
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: they were doing.

66
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 2: The entire day.

67
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: And I thought that was very interesting because if you're

68
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: just watching it, you're kind of just like, man.

69
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, cool, their hand in the ball of to Bajon.

70
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: They're working on blocking.

71
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Schemes, like we want to see one on ones between

72
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Drake Lune and Ajhrell and they're like, no, we're going

73
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: to try to win football games with our actual eleven

74
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: on the line exactly.

75
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: And so I'm sitting there just like, okay, there was

76
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: a lot more than meets the eye about this this

77
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: first practice.

78
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arran was he you mcjudge.

79
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: This isn't judging. I here's the thing. I went back.

80
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: I reevaluated my take and I have a new one.

81
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: It's called progress.

82
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: That's growth. We contain multitudes. I love that, Arran. Was

83
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: that kind of year takeaway as well, like the are

84
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: you like kind of like, oh, yeah, they're out there,

85
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: there they are. But you know again, there weren't those

86
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: one handed catches pick sixes, but that was also by design.

87
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: So did that stand out to you or was there

88
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: something else that caught your eye?

89
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: Well, they never like split up into their individual position groups,

90
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: which take. When it came to taking role, I was like,

91
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: come on, you can't make it a little easier on me.

92
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: There's ninety ninety one men out there because you have

93
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: the international player who doesn't count toward the count.

94
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 5: He counts as a person.

95
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: But what stood out to me most was that when

96
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: we first came out there, they were already like full

97
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: blown special teaming it. They were working on the kickoff return,

98
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: which I for one, am super stoked about the change.

99
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: I think it's really going to change, special teams and

100
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: maybe even the outcome of games rosters gonna make up

101
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: the team.

102
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 5: Difference and whatnot like that. So it was cool to

103
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 5: see that right away.

104
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: I know, like one of our video folks was like,

105
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: why are they doing this now?

106
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 5: But me, I was like, yes, we love specialty. To

107
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 5: hear me harp on, special teams, a lot of team special.

108
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: Players, special teams, Tearinger, we've got the nickname locked in.

109
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: I do, I do have a question.

110
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 3: So we saw special teams, we saw a lot of

111
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: team work. Is there a specific drill that y'all were

112
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: just like waiting to see and we ended up not

113
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: seeing because for me it was seven on seven. I

114
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: was so excited. I live and breathe for seven on seven.

115
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 3: Especially in the environment of camp. It's just like Mono

116
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: versus mano, like guy versus Guy, Drake Lennon versus AJ Traill,

117
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: and it's like that is fun.

118
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and almost just cussed right there, but that is fun.

119
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: And we didn't get any of that, And I'm like,

120
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: when are we going to get.

121
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 3: Some seven on seven action where Kirk Cousins is actually

122
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: like to like cow pits.

123
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, it's it's always like later in

124
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: camp when they actually start putting the pads on and

125
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: then you get the offensive line and defensive line drails

126
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: like that. It's just, oh, it's the epitome of camp though,

127
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: So all right, I'm gonna let you then have that.

128
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: I'll say that I love it when I had a

129
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: backup idea though I'm not going to seal your back

130
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: if I didn't worry. I love it when the offensive

131
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: linemen are brought out there at the very end of

132
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: a training camp practice to feel a punt and it's like, yes,

133
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: if this offensive lineman catches it, then y'all don't have

134
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: to run, and the defense dove the defensive lineman catches it,

135
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: then the offense houster. I love it when that happens.

136
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: So I'll say, you know, the when the big guys

137
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: get involved, that's when.

138
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: Of okay guys getting involved. Oh gosh, well.

139
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 4: I'm like red zone yeah, oh yeah, zone work, because

140
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: first of all, they're right there.

141
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to ba You're like, I can count

142
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: all the number right here.

143
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: My eyes, even like I need the binoculars, even if

144
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 5: they're only like fifty feet away, Like you're gonna need.

145
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: To get her eyes checked again.

146
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: I think for that annual upage of my contacts.

147
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: Thinks hilarious terns like I want to be able to

148
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: see them, and we're like, oh, we want to see

149
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 3: them do all this like amazing thing.

150
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 5: The reud is exciting too, it is.

151
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 4: I think they get a little more competitive in that

152
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 4: area bit too, where people get hyped.

153
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 5: I'm always thoroughly entertained when someone runs into the pole.

154
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: Which is me, but I have padded and.

155
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 5: So when people like dunk on the goalpost, like I

156
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: don't know.

157
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: It's little things like that, like the touchdown celebration where

158
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: they're right there and hyped and you can see it.

159
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 5: You can see the emotion on their faces. So yeah,

160
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: it matters that they're close.

161
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: Speaking of hype, someone who is hyped to be back

162
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 3: out on the field was Grady Jarrett. Yes, And I

163
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: have to say that seeing him back out there and

164
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: seeing him working alongside David Anyamata, Ruca row Ro, like

165
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: Braylan Trice, it was it was right like seeing Grady

166
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: out there felt like that that's what it's supposed to

167
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: look like.

168
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: We're supposed to see Grady Jarrett and not seeing him

169
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: out there is weird.

170
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: There was a photo of Ruc of Roo looking at Grady,

171
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: like you couldn't see Grady's face, but it's just like.

172
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Finds they who looks at you the looks.

173
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't wait for him to learn from

174
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 4: the elder cleansing guy, like come on.

175
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. It is awesome. I mean yeah, like

176
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: having having that combination. But also just again, Grady is

177
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: so like meaningful to this team, to this organization Atlanta exactly,

178
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: and like seeing him like every time, even when I'm

179
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: like Grady Hospital, I'm like, does Grady own a hospital?

180
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 5: Now, It's like, yeah, is that actually named after him?

181
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: No, definitely is not named after his partnership opportunity, but.

182
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: It's like you see the name Grady all over Atlanta, right,

183
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: and it's fitting. But he he was kind of walking

184
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: towards the uh the media room after practice and I

185
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: saw I believe it was Dave Archer who was just

186
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: kind of like, man, you look good, and he was like,

187
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: I feel good, and he did, and he looked like

188
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: he looked just like back and you can feel almost

189
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: that like he's he's just been missed, like because he eats,

190
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: sleeps and breeds football the way that all fans like

191
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: want their football players to just be like all about

192
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: ball one hundred percent of the time. That's the way

193
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: Grady Jarrett is and so I'm sure it killed him

194
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: to be away from the team for as long as

195
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: he did. And Tarren you wrote a great piece on

196
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: that at the end of mini camp about just like

197
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: the lessons that he learned. But now to hear him

198
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: say that, like I am, I'm healthy and fully cleared,

199
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: but he is going to have some you know, some

200
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: modified plan and Tarn I'll thatch she kind of like

201
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: speak on that in a minute, but that he is

202
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: able to get back out here, and he says it's

203
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: not a sigh of relief for him, but rather a

204
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: like motivating factor to go to work for a dominant season.

205
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I just kind of feel like Grady Jarrett

206
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: maybe on the verge of something big this year.

207
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: When you talk about like the modified reps, I thought

208
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: it was a really interesting way that Raheem Morris phrased

209
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 4: it in such a manner because you could just say limited,

210
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 4: but modified reps makes it seem like little things here

211
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: and there will be tweaked because at the same time

212
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: he's like, to the naked eye, you're not gonna know.

213
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: So I'm like, challenge accepted.

214
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: It's almost a training camp of the practice, right, So

215
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the naked like you saying that, I'm like, yeah, so

216
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: the naked eye, none of it looked overly like complicated

217
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: or impressive or whatever.

218
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 5: Look limited.

219
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Grady didn't look limited and yet naked eye, I guess.

220
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: And I'll say this Kirk Cousins. This is something that

221
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 3: I read about now that we're talking about Kirk. I

222
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: watched Kirk Cousins because I just wanted to see.

223
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: This is the first chance.

224
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: That you really get to see Kirk Cousins in a

225
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: training camp mode and that man and this is hilarious.

226
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 2: And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

227
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: But I was there and I feel like I saw

228
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that man ever.

229
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: Let Taylor Heineke take a snap, I don't think so.

230
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: I don't think he did because they were running all

231
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: these plays and I think he truly was like, I

232
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: need to be with the with these this group of people,

233
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: because I too am installing, I too am learning, I

234
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 3: too am getting comfortable. I too haven't been on the

235
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: football field since Grady. Jared also in week eight.

236
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: But that correlation that they I realize it until today

237
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 4: that Grady and Kirk were both injured in week eight

238
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: and they were meant to play.

239
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 5: Each other the next week.

240
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then like hindsight, the perspective that Kirk added

241
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 4: where he's like Grady's like acl should have taken longer

242
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: to come back from and here they are, and he

243
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: goes because it's.

244
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: Grady Jared, Yeah, that's it is.

245
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, chef's kiss on a quote first

246
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 4: of all, But it's just perspective and I love like

247
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: when it's killed.

248
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just But it's also that's such a thing

249
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: that so many coaches will say, it's like it does

250
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: depend on the player, which is why they're reticent to

251
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: usually give injury timelines because everybody's body heals differently. But

252
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, the first time around with Dan Quinn and Julio,

253
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: and when Julio would get kind dinged up, like Dan

254
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: was always just like, it's Julia, like he's going to

255
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: be back here, probably faster than a normal person would.

256
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: And I think Grady kind of falls under the same umbrella,

257
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: especially given his work ethic and how I'm sure he

258
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: approached rehabilitation in the same way that he approaches his

259
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: craft of being an incredible pass rusher out there on

260
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: the field, super human.

261
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: Before we move on, though, like let's actually address the

262
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: elephant in the room, which is whether or not we'll

263
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: see Kirk and Grady in preseason game, right, And this

264
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: actually came out from Kirk Cousins himself, and he even joked,

265
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: he goes, I think I maybe like let the cat

266
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: out of the bag on this one.

267
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: But he didn't do that.

268
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: That was way.

269
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: What did he say He said that.

270
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: He wouldn't be playing in the preseason or like he

271
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: alluded to that fact. He kind of said, like I

272
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: have said that I want to, but I think that's

273
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 3: fallen on.

274
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: Deaf ears was the quote.

275
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: Yes, And he said, you know, maybe there's a conversation

276
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: to be had with Raheem Morris because I do think,

277
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: like the live bullets and everything like that, like there

278
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: is some something to be said.

279
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: But also he was like.

280
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: At the exact same time, I understand why I'm going

281
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: into year thirteen. I'm coming off of Achilles, Like we

282
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: want to be easy, we want to make sure that

283
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: we're making the right decisions. So it's interesting That's absolutely

284
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: something that I think Rahem Morris will be out in

285
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: the coming day, especially now, especially now, and so I

286
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: think like that that's something we got to keep an

287
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: eye on, and it'll be something that honestly, y'all come

288
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: back to this podcast because I'm.

289
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 2: Sure we will be talking about that again.

290
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised on the flip side, though, it makes

291
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: sense given what we did see in practice today, because

292
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: if you're a coach, right, why expose this quarterback that

293
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: you have brought it now to be your franchise quarterback?

294
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: He is brand new, right, but like who he is

295
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: not new to live action against an NFL defense. I

296
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything that he's going to see in

297
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: a preseason game defensively he's not seen already throughout his career.

298
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: I think it may be way more beneficial to have

299
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: him taking eighty seven snaps out here on the first

300
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: training camp, which I felt like he did under like

301
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: controlled environment situations, work with your teammates, get acclimated that way.

302
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: You know. Again, I get last year with kind of

303
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: the decision with Desma Ritter and kind of like how

304
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: do we want to handle the preseason? And I know

305
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: that a lot of fans in hindsight were kind of like,

306
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: could he have used a little bit more run in

307
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: the preseason and some of the starters maybe overall, but

308
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: this is a completely different scenario in my mind, because

309
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: you're dealing with a veteran quarterback who, before he got hurt,

310
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: was playing at the top of his game. So I

311
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: kind of think that the mental acuity that Kirk Cousins

312
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: has is part of the reason why if they do

313
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: choose and we don't know yet. The three games haven't happened,

314
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: and Kirk said, like, we may get down to joint

315
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: practices in Miami. They may see something and then decide, hey,

316
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: we do want to see Kirk out there and how

317
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: he handles this. Again, I'm a little like suspicious that

318
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: will happen because I personally would want to protect my guys.

319
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 5: I see a little bit.

320
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: Here's though, that's interesting.

321
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 3: Everyone knows this is about me. I hate the preseason.

322
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: I hate preseason games. I don't want them. Let's just

323
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: go straight to the season. These guys are professionals. They

324
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 3: can go out there as long as they're acclimated.

325
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: Let's do it. I am so anti preseason.

326
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: And I understand that as a huge hot take for

327
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: some people because that it does matter for like you know,

328
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: bottom turning of rosters and everything like that. But I

329
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 3: feel like, right now I can tell you who this

330
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: team is and who's gonna be the starters. God willing

331
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: knock on wood, like going into the season team at

332
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: least right So I'm at this point, I'm just kind

333
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: of like, yeah, the depth chart's done, and.

334
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean that that is where obviously we will see

335
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: some things evolved in shape. Like it felt. Maybe that's

336
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: part of what we were a little surprised by today

337
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: because it it did almost feel like a practice that

338
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: could take place in like September October, where it's like,

339
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: all right, these guys have their rhythm, their routine, everybody's

340
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: where they need to be, everybody's kind of watching, paying

341
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: attention getting in and out of the huddle. Like Bejean

342
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: made a couple of nice cuts today where I was like, yeah,

343
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: he looks everybody looks a little more comfortable and kind

344
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: of coming into a routine, which is weird given the

345
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: turnover with kind of a head coach and the coordinators

346
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: and stuff, you don't usually see that. But because it

347
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: did feel like, nothing super duper stood out today outside

348
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: of the maybe normality about all right, yeah, was there

349
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: anything Taran that that did stand out as kind of

350
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: like surprising or caught your eye?

351
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 4: I thought Nate Landman, I think starting alongside Kaden ellis

352
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: over Troy Anderson. But I say that with the caveat

353
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: that two reps later Troy Anderson rotated in.

354
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

355
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: So it's not like, oh, one's a starter, one's not.

356
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: It's not like that, And I'm very curious as to

357
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 4: how it's gonna play out. I think that's more so

358
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: it's not the fact that, like Nate was their first,

359
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 4: but it's more so how much are they going to

360
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: rotate in the season. You and I were talking about

361
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: that on the sideline, like this isn't a position that

362
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: normally rotates as much in game, but are they going

363
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: to do that since they have such talented, three talented

364
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 4: inside linebackers, where it's like why not?

365
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

366
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: So, and they all three work together in two's periodically

367
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: throughout practice, Like the grouping was different almost every.

368
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: Two play, which is the weird thing because there's so

369
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: many there's three guys from two spots, right, and.

370
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: Also you always someone has the green dot, and so

371
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: if it's Cayden Ellis and Kayden Ellis is taken out,

372
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: and then it's is it Nate Lamon, is it Troy Anderson?

373
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: Like if there's one guy that I think will be

374
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: out there the right but.

375
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: There were times where he wasn't out there.

376
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: Today there were right, So that permutation there are six options, right, yeah,

377
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 4: I know, but I never remember which ones which, So

378
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: I just said both, all.

379
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Right, it would be very intimidated to be your teacher.

380
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: I think that's a good I think that we should

381
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: should move on to a new segment that we are implementing,

382
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: which I'm really excited about.

383
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: This is from the audible. This is this is from

384
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: Will McFadden's brain.

385
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: You want to tell him about Camp Champ and what

386
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: it is and how how it's going to go down.

387
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so so Camp Champ basically, you know, we're going

388
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: to be here after every training camp practice. Unfortunately, again

389
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: fans are not able to be here. So it should

390
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: just be a really easy way to like kind of

391
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: each of us go through and nominate the player that

392
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: stood out to us out there on the field or

393
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: we think maybe overall just like had a great day

394
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: of camp, whether that was performance or just like I

395
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: can lead it off with my guy like James Smith Williams,

396
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: who we saw running with the first team defensive line.

397
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: He's my camp champ because I didn't predict that coming

398
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: into day one that he was going to be the guy.

399
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, we thought maybe it would be Zach Harrison

400
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: out there, or you know, I wouldn't been necessarily as

401
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: shocked if it was Contavious Street or a Taekwon Grammer

402
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: and Eddie Goldmantt. But like, I just didn't have him

403
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: on my bingo card.

404
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was playing in too, so like Arnold Abakhetty,

405
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: like we have been talking about ak and how like

406
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: he would be playing opposite Lorenzo Carter.

407
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: That was James Smith Williams.

408
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 5: Today we haven't talked about James Smith Williams if not, so.

409
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, right.

410
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because you go back into OTAs and

411
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: the way that they were rotating the defensive line every

412
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: now and again was they had guys who had been

413
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 3: in the league for three years or longer and guys

414
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: who had been in the league in three years or

415
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: less on different like hockey lines almost of defensive linemen

416
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 3: and That's how they were kind of rotating it in

417
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: different sections of practice, which I thought was fascinating. So

418
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: when James Smith Williams was with Lorenzo Carter in this

419
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: role on this defensive front.

420
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: I was at that time.

421
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: I was just kind of like, Oh, it's because they're

422
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: doing this like old guys versus the young guys.

423
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: Is there a chance that that is the case, and

424
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: that may be it. We didn't really see Brandon Dorles

425
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: or Ruke ro Rode running with that group in particular,

426
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: so this may be a day one. Hey, like we're

427
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: getting the veterans the guys, so we can run a

428
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: faster set of eleven on eleven and we're not having

429
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: a stop every little while. They kind of like clew

430
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: a rookie in. There's a chance that that's the case.

431
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: But again, yeah, I didn't see this coming. So for

432
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: that reason, he's my camp champ. I love it.

433
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to stay on the defensive line and I'm

434
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: going to say my camp champ is Jarrett. And I

435
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: say this because of everything that we've already said. Him

436
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 3: being out there makes sense. Him being out there is normal,

437
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: it's natural, and I think that it also ups the

438
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: level of competition even though they're not going one hundred

439
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: and ten percent. Grady Jarrett has this mindset and he's

440
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: talked about it, or he Morris has talked about dan

441
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: Quinn used to talk about it. Like every person who's

442
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: interacting with Grady has talked about the intensity of which

443
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: he brings and how he shows up the same way

444
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: every single time.

445
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: It really does. It's it's like as a person, yeah,

446
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: like unless you experience it. I know, people like it's

447
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: a cliche almost at this point for an Atlanta media

448
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: member to be like Grady Jarrett, what a guy, right,

449
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: But like it really is when you see it every

450
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: single day and he's the same person and brings the state,

451
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: it's it's just incredible.

452
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, what I wanted to do.

453
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. One more thing is it actually goes

454
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 3: back to something that you said that Kirk said about

455
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: the reason why I picked Grady Jarrett too, was because

456
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: Kirk was like, this is not a guy who but

457
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 3: but the nature of his injury and the nature of

458
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: the recovery, he shouldn't be back exactly.

459
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: I know, he said training camp, but I didn't expect

460
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: this capacity. Yeah, right, Like after mandatory mini camp. He

461
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: said he'd be back for training camp, but he even

462
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 4: admitted like I might be off to the side, YadA YadA.

463
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: It's like no, no, no, the first now, gosh, day one.

464
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: The Grady element of it is is just a good,

465
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: I think way to wrap up this conversation because his

466
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: return is emblematic of maybe what this first day of

467
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: practice represents, which is it's maybe more meaningful when you're

468
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: digging in closer to the backstory, what it means, how

469
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: all the work that kind of took behind the scenes,

470
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: I think to get to this point, even though on

471
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: the surface there's nothing unusual that Grady Jarrett being in

472
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons training camp practice and being right there on

473
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: the starting with the ones, and he looks the same

474
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: as he always does, which is awesome.

475
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: This is the tenth time it's happened.

476
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be this like novelty thing that we're talking about,

477
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: and yet here we are, because of the context of

478
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: the last year, talking.

479
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: About it exactly. So it's today's practice again to the

480
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: naked eye, probably wasn't anything to really write home about,

481
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: but I it felt and hearing the players talk about

482
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: it that you know they're being intentional in some very

483
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: interesting ways. This coaching staff is with their plan and

484
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: it's not anything I've experienced when I was here at Toria.

485
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've experienced anything similar to this

486
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of plan rollout, but I'm very excited to see

487
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: like how it goes because I do I'm a big

488
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: fan personally of just people trying different things, trying to

489
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: go against the grain and kind of like just like,

490
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: let's see if this works right and learning from smart people.

491
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what this feels like.

492
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 3: And this is also what we're doing with the podcast.

493
