And 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: I hate the term sometimes with a phrase actual football 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: because it's still football right OTA's mini cams preseason is 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: still football, but it's it's the meaningful football and sidebar 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: for all of us former players and the real players. 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: You know why else they look forward to the regular season. 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: Get them check paychecks. 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: Game paychecks are real once you get into September. 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 3: Probably don't even realize that to you getting like four 21 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 3: hundred twenty five dollars a week in the preseason. 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 4: Then all of a sudden whoo, something else happened. 23 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: If you weren't aware. 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: So, just real quick, NFL players and most probably all 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: the professional sports, when they're when they're contract states, they 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: don't start getting paid that money until after the first 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: game of the regular season. So let's just say somebody's 28 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: making four million dollars, they don't get start getting their 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: pro ratus share of that until September. Before then, they're 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: getting just little spending money like stuff that. 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 4: Doesn't need really, just enough to go down. 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: We're not telling you this to feel sorry for l 33 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: NFL player, especially in twenty twenty five, because the money 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: is outstanding. 35 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: However, we'll tell you as a rookie and maybe even 36 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: as a second thirty guy, when they gave those free 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: turkeys away during Thanksgiving, I was right in there, even 38 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: though I was getting. 39 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 4: My regular season game check. 40 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: So that's all real, uh, Before we get into the roster, 41 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: we want to send the little congratulations to artillery, a little, 42 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: a little Irish victory, give me something. 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 5: It was a luck of the Irish full ye state 44 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 5: Roco was doing it. 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: All. 46 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 4: That sounds a lot very English. 47 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: I don't care.

There's a 90 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: seventh year player. And starting to see players that started 91 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: their college career in twenty nineteen. 92 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: That's crazy. Still on the roster. 93 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: Jersey, I don't need to go pro in the seven 94 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: eight years and didn't retire all right, Well. 95 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: Speaking of pro, because we have officially passed the Tuesday 96 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: at four pm deadline, the Falcons now have their initial 97 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: roster for twenty twenty five season. 98 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 2: Okay, so fellas, let's go ahead and discuss this. 99 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: Let's get it in and out, left and right, top 100 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: to bottom, and. 101 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: DJ, I want you to go first. 102 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: I want to say, when when you saw the first 103 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: list come out, I want to know where did your 104 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: eyes go first? What was the position group or player 105 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: or thing that you wanted to see? Did he make 106 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: it or did he not? 107 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 5: First thing I went to was secondary. I was really 108 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 5: interested to see what they did because there's so many 109 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 5: talented dudes that we've seen obviously with the secondary, so 110 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: many guys in and out. We saw both the rooks 111 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 5: didn't play in the last preseason game, so you kind 112 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 5: of felt like, Okay, these guys are moving into those 113 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 5: spots that we've been talking about. But then I saw 114 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 5: no Jordan Fuller and that kind of that kind of 115 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: I stepped back from me and said, wow, I mean 116 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 5: I thought he was coming here to be that other 117 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 5: veteran guy beside Jesse Bache, even a depth guy, because 118 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 5: you drafted a guy to play in that role. We 119 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 5: saw Xavier watch do a lot of good things with 120 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 5: Jesse Base during our practice times, we saw and then 121 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 5: I started to think back. I said, man, you know, 122 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 5: going back to two years ago, the Marco Hellms look 123 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 5: really good. And then we saw when at first prezeas 124 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 5: the game man, he was flying right, he was dropping people. 125 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 5: He he he gives you something. You're like, you know, 126 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 5: maybe maybe we don't need that guys much. And you know, 127 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 5: you think about you bring a guy in and say, yeah, 128 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 5: he's a guy that we really like, we want him 129 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 5: to be in the system. He played for Raw, he 130 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 5: knew him really well. But then you say, okay, we'll 131 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 5: to make sure DeMarco Hellms is fully healthy, got through 132 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 5: preseason fully healthy, played well, and then it kind of said, okay, 133 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 5: well maybe we don't need to add a full safety. 134 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 5: Maybe we can use this spot for a noted position. 135 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 5: So secondary was a big part of it. You know, 136 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 5: Clark Phillips on the roster obviously, a guy who didn't 137 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 5: play a lot in preseason, was hurt, was down. Seeing 138 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 5: Natron Brooks, who had a really good preseason balling inside outside, 139 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 5: played pretty well throughout the preseason. And then a couple 140 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 5: of guys who were like kind of on the bubble 141 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 5: from me was like a Mike Ford Jr. Was a 142 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 5: really good special teams player, had his times on the 143 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: defense side of the ball. But all those guys made 144 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 5: the roster and pretty pretty cool to see how they 145 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 5: came up with the amount of guys they had for 146 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 5: the initial roster. 147 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, so ten defensive backs, seven corners, three safeties and arch. 148 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: I want to get your opinion real quick on the 149 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: safety position because you wonder if they were going to 150 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: have the other veteran next to Jesse Bates. But I 151 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,239 Speaker 1: think coming out of Notre Dame, everybody looked at Watson 152 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: said he's a very mature young man. Seems you always 153 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: want to say Notre Dame kid is probably pretty smart, 154 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: able to shoulder the load mentally, and it's it's almost like, 155 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: do you need a transition? But I think he showed 156 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: early on that not only does he have the maturity 157 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: to start opposite of Jesse Bates, but then you've got 158 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: that tutelage from a guy like Jesse Bates that he 159 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: can learn from every single day of the week in 160 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: practices and then leading up into the games. 161 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing better than to have Jesse Bates there. Oh, 162 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: by the way, you go to go in a room 163 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: and there's Jerry Gray and guys like that. So I 164 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: think the youngster kind of belies his years, is what 165 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: you're talking about. He's more much more mature, And we thought, Belie, 166 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: you gonna use that at Georgia. 167 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: Just looking up. 168 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he is a guy that I think is much 169 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: more mature than we maybe give him credit for, even 170 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: though he's a rookie in the National Football League, former 171 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 3: wide receiver, got ball skills. We've talked about that. Don't 172 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: be surprised though, and we talk and you mentioned initial roster. 173 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: There will be some adjustments between now and next week 174 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: when it comes to what this roster officially looks like 175 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: as you get to that number that they like to 176 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: talk about as you carry into the regular season, and 177 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: I would not be surprised if there's not some adjustments 178 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: in this position, specifically as. 179 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: Far as the numbers. 180 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: I think there's going to be some adjustments there, So 181 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: just kind of be on the lookout for that. You 182 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: can see it at Atlanta Falcons dot Com constantly have 183 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 3: that covered for you if there's adjustments that happen on 184 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: the roster, and there will be some. But I agree 185 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: with you completely rack. I think that Xavier Watts showed 186 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 3: all the things that you'd hoped you were getting for 187 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 3: a guy that was that led the nation interceptions as 188 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 3: a junior, was a leader on that defensive football team 189 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then what six 190 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 3: interceptions his senior year, and a guy that really spent time. 191 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: Remember he roomed with Jesse Bates during training camps, so 192 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: to be able to absorb that information, I don't think. 193 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: I think you knocked it out of the park. Heats 194 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: exactly what he was. 195 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: So I wanted to get your thoughts on that position. 196 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: But let's go outside of that. If you had something 197 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: else that you were kind of looking at when you 198 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: saw this initial roster posted, what kind of stuck out 199 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: to you? 200 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: Well, I think that what stuck out to me. You know, 201 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 3: I played quarterbacks, So what's the old line look like? 202 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 3: You know, I think you really like the offensive line 203 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: prior to the end of last week when we lost 204 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: Caleb McGary to an injury. Looks like he's going to 205 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: miss some significant time from what Raheem Morris talked about. 206 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: And then Storm Norton is a guy that had ankle surgery, 207 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 3: so he'll be a guy that you can get back 208 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 3: at some point during the season. But that's your swing tackles, 209 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: So what's going on there? Elijah Wilkinson steps in and 210 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: probably we'll start at that right tackle position. Obviously, Again 211 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 3: I talked about the fluid situation what goes on with 212 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: the roster, but that looks like what is going on. 213 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 3: That's where my eyes went initially, because you know, you 214 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: want to get Pennis protected, you want Bjon running downhill. 215 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 3: But I think that the surprise for me Rack was 216 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: what happened in the interior defensive line. Okay, I think 217 00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 3: you knew Onyamada, Rower, Row Dorless, Zach Harrison. I think 218 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 3: you had a pretty good idea there. Then where was 219 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: the rest of the depth? TQ Graham is a guy 220 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: I know they liked a lot. Now TQ is going 221 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 3: to start off on what the pup list right now, 222 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: so he's he's not going to be probably available. But 223 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 3: Lacale London, you talk about a guy that came into 224 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 3: camp and won a job on the team. We all 225 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: can identify with that, right not coming in as the 226 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: heralded guy, and how do I win a job? And 227 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 3: I got kind of a warm spot and thinking, hey, 228 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: that's a guy that came in and wanted because that 229 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 3: was a pretty we we felt like it was a 230 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 3: pretty deep roster spot right there, you know. And talking 231 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 3: about Kntavio Street, who's played a lot of ball here, 232 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 3: did a good job in training camp. There was a 233 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: number of guys there. Morgan Fox the guy they went 234 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 3: out and got who was a veteran player, but like 235 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 3: Kale London, how. 236 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 4: About that a guy that they'd. 237 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: Elevated off a practice squad a couple of years ago 238 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: that played some maybe bulked up a little bit, played 239 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: his way onto the roster. 240 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that was That was one of 241 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: the things that I looked at, Arches is sometimes when 242 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: we in shock we start talking about the preseason, we 243 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: don't get as interested because we see that none of 244 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: the starters are going to play in its backups. But 245 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: to me, there was a few names on here that 246 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: I felt like one roster spots with preseason play. 247 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 2: You mentioned Lakale London, another. 248 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: One I thought about was Josh Woods, and then even 249 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: going to the running back position, you could probably make 250 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: the argument that Nathle Carter, after his performance in the preseason, 251 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: won himself a roster spots. 252 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: Exactly at the tight end. 253 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: So when when you kind of think about, oh, it's preseason, 254 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: I can't wait to just fast forward this to get 255 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: to the regular season. There are guys that one roster 256 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: spots initially because they embraced the competition. And sometimes it's 257 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: whether somebody gets banged up. Sometimes it's just you went 258 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: out and played better. You showed the coaching staff that 259 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: you deserve to be on this roster. Did you kind 260 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: of look at any of those names as well and say, 261 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: oh wow, he did end up earning a roster. 262 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, had all three of those guys on on 263 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 5: my list as well. Talking about guys who really flashed 264 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 5: during preseason. Obviously, Josh Wards in that first game versus 265 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 5: Troit was a. 266 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 4: Guy who how about on Friday Night? 267 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you, I mean running through dudes. I 268 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 5: mean it's just a certain guy that just flashy. You 269 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 5: remember what they did in the ball game, and that 270 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 5: sticks out, That goes a long way. 271 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: How about David. 272 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 5: Seals as well, a guy who, uh, we talked a 273 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,599 Speaker 5: lot about the receiver spot and a lot of was 274 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 5: talked about drumming, talking about Chris Blair making plays. We 275 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 5: saw Nash make some plays in that last ball game, 276 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 5: and it ends up being a guy like David Seals 277 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 5: who has the size, who can play inside, play outside, uh, 278 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 5: will play teams as well, and a guy that fits 279 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 5: what they wanted. You look at that receiver Cord. You 280 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 5: got Drake London, who's probably the biggest guy you got, 281 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 5: you know, and then you got Mooney, you got ray Red, 282 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 5: you got k C. Washington, all kind of around the 283 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 5: same size, and you got Seals, a bigger type of 284 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 5: body who they add to that frey of players who 285 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 5: you know probably did really well doing during practice because 286 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 5: you know you saw him, didn't see him a lot 287 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 5: during the games, but obviously he did enough doing maybe 288 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 5: the joint sessions or even in practice that gave you 289 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 5: enough confidence say, you know what, this is a guy 290 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 5: we want to add to our roster and add to 291 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 5: it along with taking seven receivers with agnew at the 292 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 5: end of it. 293 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, so, arch I know this is the time to 294 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: be optimistic, right we haven't played a regular season game yet, 295 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: But how does this edge Rusher group look to you? 296 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: And how optimistic how excited are you about what this 297 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: group can do this year? 298 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 4: Well, you got to be extremely excited. Rack. 299 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: I think because of what you did in April, right, 300 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: the two guys you drafted, we saw a great deal 301 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 3: of James Pearce Junior and maybe some of the speed 302 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: and everything you expect. Didn't necessarily get to see what 303 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 3: Jalen Walker could bring to the table because of some 304 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 3: soft tissue issues, which I think he'll be fully healthy 305 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 3: when Tampa Bay comes to town. So you're going to 306 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: be able to get a full load of Jalen Walker. 307 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,359 Speaker 3: Arnold Li Bacadie and Leonard Floyd. Leonard Floyd a known commodity. 308 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 3: You hope he can still get what he's done over 309 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: the last five seasons of his career of eight and 310 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 3: a half sacks plus over the last five seasons in 311 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: each of his locations. Arnold Abacadie a guy coming on 312 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 3: about do Angelo Malone. 313 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: He started talking. 314 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: You know, I'd be interested to hear what. 315 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 4: You have to say. Raq. 316 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: When we talked a little bit about these guys that 317 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 3: are versatile players, and remember D'Angelo Malone, we talked about 318 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: played the edge and that's kind of where he that's 319 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: kind of where he got his name out of college, 320 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: coming out of Western Kentucky, and just a sack master. 321 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 3: He's been a special teams maven for they played him 322 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: an inside linebackers and so his versatility stand inside play linebacker, 323 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: Mike Ford, Josh Woods, D'Angelo Malone may be known more 324 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: for special teams play, but showed in camp their versatility 325 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 3: to play corner, nickel, linebacker, edge rusher. 326 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 4: Pretty cool. 327 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, and I think we know what we're 328 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: gonna get from caderol Hodge when it comes to special teams. 329 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: But again, depending on the numbers. That's also somewhere where 330 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: you might see a Jamal agnuea David Sills having the 331 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: actor in on the kicking game as well. Again, when 332 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: I say numbers, we're talking about active on game days, right, 333 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: There's actually gonna be these guys that are not going 334 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: to be active on game days. So it's just all 335 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: depending on health and then who shows during practice that 336 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: they're one of those guys that have to be on 337 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: the field for special teams because keep your eye on 338 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: that third phase of the game. One thing I did 339 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: want to note, doubt that kind of leads me into 340 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: my next question, is that's been reported that the Falcons 341 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: have made a trade for offensive tackle Michael Drell from 342 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: Seattle that has been reported. So I want to use 343 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: that as a kind of a takeoff point to say, 344 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: and I don't I'm not trying to lead you guys here, 345 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: because you can go wherever you want. I'm gonna start 346 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: with you. Shock is what of the what part of 347 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: this this roster do you feel like this has the 348 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: most concerned that might still be getting addressed over the 349 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: next couple of days or even the next week. 350 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: I mean, it's not even more sugar code. 351 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 4: It's where we just talked about an offensive line. 352 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, because as much as we talk about the skill 353 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 5: guys on the outside of how talented Michael Pennings is 354 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 5: or Drake Lund and Kyle Pitts, all these guys, the 355 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 5: John Robinson, all these guys who are really talented and 356 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 5: guys who can make a lot of plays for you, 357 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 5: if you can't protect the guy that's going to distribute 358 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 5: that football, it's kind of a moot point. So I 359 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 5: think that is one of the top conversations they've had 360 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 5: since Caleb McGarry went down, is how do we feel 361 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 5: the void of that spot because of a lot of 362 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 5: situations of they love to run the football and that's 363 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 5: part of what they want to do. We saw you 364 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 5: know a lot of people may have seen it in 365 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 5: the game situations, but this is a play action offense. 366 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 5: They want to move Michael Pennick. They want to be 367 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 5: able to use the stretch zone to be able to 368 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 5: you know, come out the backside and be able to 369 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 5: throw the football. You want to throw the football vertically. 370 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 5: You want to have time to push the football down 371 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 5: the field, which we know Michael Pennix loves to do. 372 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 5: He talked about it, you know a lot of time 373 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 5: about being able to stretch it vertically. You got to 374 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 5: secure up that offensive line. We know what the other 375 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 5: four guys about. We've seen him. They played a lot 376 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 5: of football together. All these guys are invested in this 377 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 5: league of when it comes to what you can do 378 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 5: in the National Football League, but there's always one piece 379 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 5: and you can't just act like it's not is nulling board, 380 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 5: act like oh, we can just put a tight end 381 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 5: over there, or we can just you know, chip mos 382 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 5: kind of stuff. This guy's going to have to hold 383 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 5: his own over there, and that's gonna be a big topic, 384 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 5: good conversation everybody talks about. Hey, is Michael Penny's backside protection. Yeah, 385 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 5: that's part of it too. And the Falcons do a 386 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 5: good job of, you know, the style of office at 387 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 5: which they do where it's not as dangerous as people 388 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 5: will think in the past, but it's still something that 389 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 5: you have to worry and concern yourself about. So who 390 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 5: feels that void, how they go about doing it, how 391 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 5: Xerob calls plays, according to who's there is a big 392 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 5: topical conversation because you can't you can't just act like 393 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 5: it doesn't exist. And I think you have to go 394 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 5: into a game plan understanding what you have at that 395 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 5: spot and the things that you can do with your offense. 396 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 397 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 3: I don't like to get overloaded or analytics, and I 398 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 3: think that sometimes we tend to lean on the numbers 399 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 3: too much. But there is something to Atlanta running the 400 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: football when you go back and look at the numbers. 401 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 3: Atlanta ran to the right side. Falcons ran right side 402 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 3: behind big Kalob, but Gary and obviously the all pro 403 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 3: Chris Leinstrom about fifty seven fifty eight percent of the time. 404 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: So you flip that over, now it's about forty three 405 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 3: percent over the time to Jake and now can you 406 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 3: change that up maybe, but McGarry had a special ability 407 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 3: as a road grader to come off the ball. That's 408 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 3: a big body, dude. We call him the big Viking 409 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 3: here because that's what he looks like, you know, coming 410 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 3: off the ball. Four and his hammer coming off the 411 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 3: ball with Leinstrom one of the best guards, if not 412 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: the best guard in. 413 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 4: The country in the league. Yep. 414 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 3: How much does that change now from a game plan 415 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 3: standpoint to where maybe you start flowing the other way? 416 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 3: Does the Michael Pennock's left handed thing comes into play? 417 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 4: Shock? 418 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 3: How much do you remember with Michael Vick? And this 419 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 3: is just a general statement, how much do you remember 420 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: with Michael did we move to kind of a left 421 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: handed type scenario because he was a left handed quarterback? 422 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 4: Is that? Is that real? Yeah? It's a real thing. 423 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 5: And I think more than anything, it's about the comfort 424 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 5: level of the quarterback, and I think he was in 425 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 5: his brain understanding I feel more comfortable obviously as any 426 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 5: quarterback with what I can see, and a lot of 427 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 5: the would come going to that left side. And he 428 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 5: was really good throwing either way, So it was an 429 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 5: advantage for this offense. But it definitely was something that 430 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 5: was thought about when we went in the game plans 431 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 5: or we were talking about which way Mike's like to 432 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 5: move or which way he kind of shifts or motion 433 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 5: that motion but kind of moves within the pocket. That 434 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 5: was a big part of his comfort level. Is that backside? 435 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: You know, you guys talked a little bit about play calling, 436 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: and I think it's an important thing to talk about. 437 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: And I don't want to minimize anything from the projected 438 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: starter that we think and Elijah Wilkinson because we're not 439 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: at practice every day. I know you guys got to 440 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: watch a lot more of training camp than I did, 441 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: But maybe there is a lot more comfort level there 442 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: than what we think. 443 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: Number one. 444 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: Number two is, in my opinion because I've seen it 445 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: throughout the course of my career, is this is where 446 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: play calling from an offensive coordinator perspective really becomes. That's 447 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: that's where you can show how good you are. Is 448 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: what do you do from a scheme perspective arch to 449 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: put potentially protect Wilkinson a little bit, because you're right, 450 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: you can't always have somebody over the top of him, 451 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: but you can for a large percentage of plays have 452 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: something designed, whether it's a running back, checking on the 453 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: way out, a tight end starts there, a wide receiver 454 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: comes across the formation and gets a little shoulder pad 455 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: on this way out. In this route, there's a lot 456 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: of different ways arch where you can get everybody else 457 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: to help, just kind of push him back on right 458 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: if he gets if he gets on the edge, just 459 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: to make sure that he's not gonna sitting out there 460 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: on island all by himself. When they do have traditional 461 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: drop back plays. 462 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that you touched on it right 463 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 3: there at the beginning. They're probably more comfortable with this 464 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: situation with Wilkinson, who played some guard during training camp, 465 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 3: slide not to tackle and be able to do this 466 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 3: because they have confidence. It's not his first rodeo, he's played, 467 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 3: he's played in the league, so they see him every day, folks, 468 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: so they have an idea of what this guy can 469 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 3: do and are very confident with him sliding into that position. 470 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 3: You're exactly correct. From a schematic standpoint. We can do 471 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 3: things that helped create, uh, maybe a little bit of 472 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 3: confidence in him. Maybe you're getting confident just like anybody. 473 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 3: You want to get up to speed and so some 474 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 3: confidence kind of get you going and then all of 475 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 3: a sudden maybe we can you can leave them alone. 476 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: And I don't know that Jake necessarily goes into the 477 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 3: game at oh, I'm completely locked up. 478 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 4: That's okay, But tight End wants aship with me too. 479 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 3: I think that was going to have to be the 480 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 3: equation anyway there, rack In Shock, I think that from 481 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 3: a game plan standpoint, there is the entity that they 482 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 3: did not play the starters in preseason. Okay for speaking 483 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 3: from my perspective, and what I got a chance to 484 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 3: do as a player, playing in the games is a 485 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 3: little is a different deal. So there's going to be 486 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: a ramp up moment. Hopefully it's just a moment. It's 487 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: not a game that these guys. 488 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 4: Are going to have to do. 489 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 3: And so who helps coax you through that? 490 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 4: Your play caller. 491 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 3: And so if Zach has a really good plan, which 492 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: I expect him to have against Tampa, make no space. 493 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: Tampa knows they got beat by Atlanta twice last year 494 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 3: and they're coming up here, you know, hoping to try 495 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 3: to take care of business. And they know they got 496 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: Penn explaining quarterback, and they know they've got a maybe 497 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 3: the third offensive tackle. 498 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 4: Playing whatever it is. 499 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 3: So they're going to have a plan for I think 500 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 3: Robinson will counteract that and try to get everybody rolling. 501 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: How else, how cool is it? 502 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 5: Also, you got a guy who coaches the position and 503 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 5: left for who's probably been there and done that. 504 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 4: How big is that? 505 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 5: Because you look at you look at Ross's staff, every 506 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 5: single position coach has played that particular position. You're talking 507 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 5: about having a guy who's been there, done that and 508 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: can help him as well, and you talk about to 509 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 5: play caller as well, and say, you know what, here's 510 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 5: some of the things that can help you as you 511 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 5: eat your way through this process of going from one 512 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 5: position to another or even within his offense and saying, hey, 513 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 5: all eyes are going to be on you for sure, 514 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 5: but here's how you got to handle it. And I 515 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 5: think that helps us having a guy who's been there, 516 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 5: done it. It helps a guy once you get in 517 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 5: there knowing that guy understands exactly what it's about. 518 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: Guys, I want to ask you this question because this 519 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: is one that I think a lot of our viewers 520 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: and lets are curious about. Now that we've got this 521 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: roster that has been announced, this initial roster is this 522 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: game the NFL is about winning. Don't make any mistakes 523 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: about it. It's about winning and getting to the postseason. 524 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: The easiest way to get to the postseason is winning 525 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: your division. Shure shack. I want to ask you this question. 526 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: This roster that you see, the initial roster, is this 527 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: roster built to win a division title and get to 528 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: the postseason. 529 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 4: I think it is. 530 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 5: I think you have the pieces in place that gives 531 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 5: you the confidence going into the season that if one, 532 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 5: of course is a big it's a big if. Every 533 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 5: team talks about if those guys stay healthy, and that's 534 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 5: a big part of every season, big part of every 535 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 5: team and everything. You'll go in and saying the same thing. 536 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 5: But I think if you look at this roster from 537 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 5: top to bottom and you go through every position group, 538 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 5: you say, you know what, I feel really good about 539 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: that guy. Oh we brought in d Divine Diabolo. Ooh 540 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 5: watching that guy in practice. This guy can run, this 541 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 5: guy can hit. This guy's downhill. Add him with killis 542 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, just talking about Leonard Floe on the outside, 543 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 5: been doing it consistently for a long time. 544 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 4: We saw edmy Katie. 545 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 3: Come on. 546 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 5: Last year, you got Rook who's always so hungry. He 547 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 5: didn't get a lot of time last year doing it's 548 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 5: the same way. A lot of guys who are hungry, 549 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 5: ready to feel that void to beat those guys. You 550 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 5: got two young guys who come from uh four young 551 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 5: guys on that rookie class who come from programs where 552 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 5: they're used to winning, they're used to playing at a 553 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 5: high level. Then they got guys around him who can 554 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 5: help them. You feel really good about the talent that's there, 555 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 5: and then the talent on the officers about you know 556 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 5: what it's all about. Look at the offensive line who's 557 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 5: been together and done it minus the one piece that 558 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 5: you gotta add to it. But that's the great thing 559 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 5: about having continuity of front of it. You've got so 560 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 5: many guys who can bring those guys along. And you 561 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: got a guy in the backfield who when you do 562 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 5: Fantasy Draft, everybody said he's the number one overall pick 563 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 5: for a reason, like, come on, you can get that 564 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 5: guy to football. And then I mean it's a reason 565 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 5: you got five prize and people are excited to see 566 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 5: Michael Pennix Junior and what he's about. 567 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 4: Uh Falcons. 568 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 5: When he got him at number eight, when there were 569 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 5: tons of teams who wanted him, so there is a 570 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 5: lot of expectations for a lot of guys on the team. 571 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 5: Drake Lunnon coming up, gonna be one of the top 572 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 5: paid receivers in the game, coming up next. I mean, 573 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 5: you got so many guys who you look at it so, 574 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 5: you know, I feel really good about the pieces, and 575 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 5: you bring them all together and they play at the 576 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 5: level that you expect them to play at. They can 577 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 5: play with anybody. 578 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: You're the analyst for the Atlanta Falcons radio network, Okay, 579 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: I know you've thought about this team a lot, with 580 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: the draft, with free agency, with what you've seen now 581 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: with the initial roster. Give me one or two of 582 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: your not for Tampa, but one or two of your 583 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: overall keys on what you feel like has to be 584 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: different this year for the Atlanta Falcons to frankly get 585 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: a different result when we finish the regular season. 586 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 3: Well, I think from a defensive standpoint, which is what 587 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 3: we attacked in the draft, the ability to get teams 588 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 3: in third and long situations, third and medium or third 589 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 3: and long. You have to be able to stop the run. 590 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people want to talk 591 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 3: about rushing the past or rush the pass or yeah, 592 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 3: but you've got to get yourself in position, you have 593 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 3: to rush to passer. In this day and age, when 594 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 3: coaches are going forward on fourth down, they're playing a 595 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 3: four down game. And so once I get probably to 596 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 3: about my forty five yard line, I'm thinking about going 597 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 3: forward on fourth down. If I can get a reasonable 598 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 3: down and distance, I've got to be able to defend 599 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 3: the run. That's why we talk so much about the interior, 600 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 3: and Shock was talking about the linebackers and Vine Diabolo 601 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 3: coming over. That's one of the areas that my eyes are. 602 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 3: And then Shock you talked about what is a positive 603 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: guys being very hungry, It also could potentially be a 604 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 3: detriment to you because you're depending on a lot of 605 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 3: young players to play. So dorles in a rower row 606 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: in the middle, the two edge guys that are rookies, 607 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: maybe a rookie nickel, maybe a rookie safety starting. You've 608 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 3: got a lot of young players on that side. They're 609 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: going to have to play grown up football. So that 610 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 3: concerns you a little bit as well. I think the 611 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 3: upside is through the roof if you see what they 612 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 3: did at the level they were at before, but we 613 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 3: need them to go to the NFL level and are 614 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 3: they ready for that? And does that mean you got 615 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: to be patient. You don't have time to be patient 616 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: when you look at the rat whether you look at 617 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 3: the schedule, you can't be patient, especially not out of 618 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 3: the box. You've got two divisional opponents your first three games. 619 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 3: You talked about you gotta go win the division. You 620 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: got to go get both those games. 621 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 4: Yep. 622 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 2: I like it. 623 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: I'm old school at heart, and so I love the 624 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: fact that you started with stopping the run because that's 625 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: what it does come down to. But I'm gonna give 626 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: you my two and then shock. I want you to 627 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: give me your one or two afterwards, but my two 628 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: are going to be this. Cut it, slice it however 629 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: you want. You got to get great play out of 630 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: your quarterback position in the National Football League. That's just 631 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: how it works, guys. And I saw something on social 632 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 1: media yesterday. Maybe you guys chime in on this as 633 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: somebody said, well, maybe this year needs to be one 634 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: that was kind of like two thousand and eight where 635 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: they ran the footballs early auto mats care I believe 636 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: its rookie year. 637 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 5: Kie. 638 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: They ran the football, Michael turn, they played good defense, right, Well, 639 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: we can do that, right, we can run the football. 640 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: But though you know what, the one thing I also 641 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: noticed on the defense that year John Abrahead had sixteen 642 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: and a half sacks. 643 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 2: It's a little different, right. 644 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: So my two things are, if you're gonna win in 645 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: the NFL, you got to play great at the quarterback position. 646 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: And I am gonna be one of those guys arts 647 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: that says you got to get after the passer. After 648 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: you stop the run, you gotta get after the passer. 649 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: So teams are built and they win by investing through 650 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: the draft. Okay, and I think the Falcons did that. 651 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: Michael Pennock's first round are two first round ed rushers. Okay, 652 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: and you're right, there's not a whole lot of time 653 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: to figure this out, like it's a results based business. 654 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: Like do you win or do you lose? 655 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: And you can even say, well in college, yeah, they 656 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: have the whole academic in college, you gotta win football 657 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: games too. Okay, That's what it all comes down to. 658 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: So mine is quarterback play in pass rush. What would 659 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: be your It doesn't have to be two one, two three, 660 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: But what has to happen this year for the Falcons, Like, oh, 661 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: you're Jared producer, I'm sorry this is end up being 662 00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: the fifteen minute podcast. 663 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: All right, go ahead, shot, I'm going to have to 664 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 2: wrap this up at some point. 665 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 5: I got to I had one and then, you know, 666 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 5: I think. First thing is you have to be better 667 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 5: than you were last in the red zone. I think 668 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 5: last year there were times on both sides of the 669 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 5: ball where you should have been a lot better than 670 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 5: you were inside the red zone. The last one I 671 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 5: think is arch We've talked about this a lot. You 672 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 5: gotta win the turnover differential, and that's a big part 673 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 5: of the ball game because if you could turn people 674 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 5: over in sacks, force them in those third long situations, 675 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 5: force them to turn the football over, that gives more 676 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 5: opportunities to that side of the ball who we all 677 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 5: are excited to see. And if you can win that 678 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 5: part of the ball game that gives you, that gives 679 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 5: you a greater chance of winning more ball games, I 680 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 5: think than anything else. If you can turn people over 681 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 5: and then you could turn those into points, puts a 682 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 5: lot of pressure on the posing teams right away. So 683 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 5: if you could do that, thenk got a great chance. 684 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 3: One point, I want to know what you guys think 685 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 3: about this. There's a lot of conversation about explosive plays. Okay, 686 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 3: and you go back to Bejon Robinson season a year ago, 687 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 3: fourteen hundred plus yards rushing, fourteen rushing touchdowns. Nine of 688 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 3: those touchdowns came inside the ten yard line. 689 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 4: Okay, So where is it? 690 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: You both talked about down the field throwing the football 691 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: with Pennis. That's a piece of it. But how much 692 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 3: do we need the explosives? How much do we need 693 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 3: the thirty yard but maybe the home run touchdown run? 694 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 3: We talked, we there's been some conversation. Bijon did some 695 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 3: work in the offseason about making guys missing the open field. 696 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 4: He was third in the National Football. 697 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 3: He wasn't well, that's saying I've got the number written 698 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 3: downe eighty three misstackles third best in the National Football. 699 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 3: But the home the home run ball do is that that? 700 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 4: Where does that fall in? 701 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 5: You? 702 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 3: Guys's idea of this is going to be a successful 703 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 3: offense with more Do we need more home run shots? 704 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 2: And the reason here's here's what I would equate this to. 705 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: And I know it's not the same, guys, but I 706 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: come from a special team's background, and we always talked 707 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: about the punt being one of the most important plays 708 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: in football because it's the one play where you can 709 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: guarantee to change field position of forty yards or more 710 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: on one play. Okay, well, how about an explosive play. 711 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: Is that not the same thing where you can change 712 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: you can flip the field. 713 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 2: You could be on. 714 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: Your own thirty or thirty five and you can hit 715 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: a fifty yard pass and all of a sudden you 716 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: are knocking on the door of the red zone. You 717 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: are immediately looking at points. So yes, expulsive plays and 718 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: however they come. Whether that's a five yard crossing route 719 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: that gets thrown to Jon Robinson he makes three people 720 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: miss and he ends up taking it, or it's Drake 721 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: London going up over the top of somebody because Michael 722 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: Pennix wants to air it out and he's got the 723 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: cannon to do it, or however they come. But I'm 724 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: a huge proponent of some explosive plays because now you're 725 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: taking an offense that's maybe trying to put together an eight, ten, 726 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: twelve play drive, and now maybe it's a six play 727 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: drive to put points on the board. Not that we're 728 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: trying to score fast, but that's explosiveness, getting in the 729 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: opponent's scoring territory and ultimately capping it off of the points. 730 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 4: Eighty three missed tackles is not good enough. 731 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 5: Look out, Oh my goodness, cause that just says this 732 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 5: guy's not satisfied. And that's a great, great mindset to 733 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 5: have for me. Similar to what Archi mentioned earlier, the 734 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 5: first thing that comes to my mind is when you 735 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 5: got something like that, Oh, it makes the quarterback so 736 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 5: comfortable he could just turn around and hand it to 737 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 5: this guy and oh yeah, now we're on the other 738 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 5: side of the field, or now it's you know, instead 739 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 5: of first intent, you got another first intent, like you're 740 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 5: not even a worried about you know, second and long. 741 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 5: It helps the quarterback's mindset so much and gives you 742 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 5: the Billity know what, I got a guy that I 743 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 5: don't have to do a lot. I got another guy 744 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 5: I can just check it down to. And that's something 745 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 5: that Michael Penny's talked about is yeah, we want to 746 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 5: be the number one offense in all the categories. But 747 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 5: then he also said, I want to have a better 748 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 5: completion percentage this year. 749 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 4: Well, if he. 750 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 5: Knows I can throw this flat right out hit up 751 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 5: John Robinson and he can pick up eight, nine, twelve, 752 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 5: thirteen yards. Oh, that's gonna take the mindset of Okay, 753 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 5: maybe I got this guy one on one. Maybe I should, 754 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 5: Maybe I just want to take a shot. It's a 755 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 5: low percentage stroll, but uh, I'm gonna get to be 756 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,239 Speaker 5: young and he gonna he gonna get me right. So 757 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 5: I think that helps the mindset of the quarterback when 758 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 5: you know you have it they need. Can help his 759 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 5: completion percentage and all of a sudden you're moving the 760 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 5: chains and all of a sudden you're putting together drives, 761 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 5: you're scoring points. I think it all comes together for. 762 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 4: Sure, helps that old lines mentality, right, that balls out. 763 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 4: My guy's not laying on the ground behind that good. 764 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 2: I'm Goodlet's get down with that money, all right. 765 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: So that is our initial thoughts on the initial roster 766 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Falcons as it was just released yesterday 767 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: or Tuesday at four pm. And as I mentioned, it's 768 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: going to be fluid. It's gonna change probably today and tomorrow, 769 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna change next week, and guess what it's going 770 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: to change throughout the course of the entire season. 771 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 5: Just to be on the rock by the time you 772 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 5: guys hear you don't he could be the third QB 773 00:33:59,200 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 5: in this one. 774 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, I can run practice squad stuff. 775 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 2: No, I think I think they may have. 776 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 4: The show show show them this stealthy body.
