1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Falcons Audible presented by AT and T is back, and 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: yes we are here. We are post draft coverage mode 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: right now. You got Rack, you got DJ, you got Arch, 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: and guys, let's dive into it because there's been so 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: much discussion about the entire draft, whether it's the Falcons, 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: it's the NFL, but we are here to talk about 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. So if you're a Falcons fan, if 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: you're an NFL fan, if you're a football fan, get 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: ready because we about to give it to you. Okay, Hey, guys, 10 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: by the way, I just hyped it up, so good 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: bring it. Okay, all right, so let's go. Let's get 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: into this, and let's just start with as as I've 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: heard Terry and Raheem say, the elephant in the room 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: a quarterback situation. Okay, not only was it a focal 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: point this entire offseason from the moment that Raheem Morris 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: was hired, he even said it himself. The elephant in 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: the room was the quarterback situation addressed in free agency 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins and then arguably pulled off the surprise 19 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: of the first round by picking a quarterback with their 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: eighth overall selection. In Michael PENNOCKX junior. So there was 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: a lot of question marks. And then after the end 22 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: of the first round, Terry and Raheem came out and 23 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: they did a press conference and they kind of explained 24 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: where they were going with the idea of picking Michael Pennix. 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: We talked about this a little bit last year. We 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: talked about this in our pre draft show. You never 27 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: really know what the head coaching, the coaching staff, and 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: the personnel department, what they have between the years because 29 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: they're not telling anything right. But they decided that they 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: wanted to make a play for the future and they 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: felt like they were not going to be having an 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: opportunity to be picking this high again. With what they 33 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 1: are projecting, they're going to start winning, so they plan 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: on being at the latter ends of the draft from 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: now on. So they said, we got a quarterback that 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: we feel really good with. He fits the makeup. They 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: always talking about the makeup, the ethos, that what they're 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: looking for. And so Shock, let's go ahead and start 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: with you your initial impressions and then after you heard the rationale, 40 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: your thoughts behind the selection of Michael Pennock junior. 41 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 2: I'm glad you put it that way, because I'm gonna 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: keep it a buck. I was kind of similar to 43 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: every other fan that was outside the building of Flower Branch, 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: and I was confused. I didn't know why the pick 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: was made. I didn't understand it. And that's because this 46 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: entire time we felt as though the thing you just 47 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: talked about was solidified. You have a quarterback here that 48 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: can win ballgames for you. That's the number one thing 49 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: you talked about coming to the offseason was hey, make 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 2: sure we solify this position and we're good. So we 51 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: get to the eighth pick and we said, okay, we 52 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: got our quarterbacks, we got receivers. What else do we need? 53 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: What else is out there that could feel a need 54 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: for this team? And obviously, similar to myself and everybody 55 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: else who had followed this franchise, you thought, okay, what's 56 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: time to go get an age rusher, or it's time 57 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: to get a corner, time to feel spot. So initially 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: I was a little confused. I didn't know why the 59 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: pick was made and I didn't understand it. But like 60 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: you mentioned, they came out, they spoke on it. They 61 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: talked about the scenario in which why they felt as 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: though this was a home run for them, And I 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: heard Terry say he wanted everybody in the building, from 64 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: owner Arthur Blank to the scouts to love this pick 65 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: and it had to be made in this position because 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: of where they feel the future is headed. And the 67 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: other thing that I think confused me at first was 68 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: I said, all right, at the beginning, we talked about. 69 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: This was a team that wanted to win right now. 70 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: And when you initially say, okay, let's drive a quarterback 71 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: for the future, what is that saying about right now? 72 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: But I thought after they explained it, it makes perfect 73 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: sense on why they went this route and why he 74 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: was the pick. Now, it could have been these other 75 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: guys that's out there, but they felt as though Michael 76 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: Pennick Junior was the guy that they wanted for the future, 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: which gave them the opportunity to go out and get him. 78 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: And kudos to them for keeping it all inside, because 79 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: that is something tough to do exactly in this day 80 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: and age. You know, I heard Terry talk about, you know, 81 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: he had a situation back in the day with Patrick 82 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: Mahomes and all that kind of stuff, and he got 83 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: out and this was the guy they really wanted. So 84 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: I know there was a very very small circle of 85 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: people who knew about this possibility, and when it finally 86 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: came to fruition, they explained it really well. 87 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: And I'm all on board with Arch. 88 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: It's real easy for everybody out there to be armchair 89 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: general manager right, to feel like a lot of them 90 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: that they've got every single answer, But none of those 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: people sit in the chair. None of those people actually 92 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: sit in the chair. And Terry actually talked about it 93 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: in their post draft press conference, saying a conversation he 94 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: had with Bill Pollion or Bill Pollion told him that 95 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: when he got the job as a general manager, he said, 96 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: the most scrutinized people in this country are the President 97 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: of the United States and sports general managers. So get 98 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: used to it, right, So Terry said, it comes with 99 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: the territory. You gotta understand. You gotta have broad shoulders, 100 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: you gotta have thick skin to be in this position. 101 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna ask you the same question, Arch, your 102 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: initial impressions when you heard the pick, and then after 103 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: the explanation, after you were able to stew on it 104 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: a little bit, did your initial impression change it all? 105 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? 106 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 4: We you we sat here the week to Tuesday before 107 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: the draft, or the Tuesday before the Tuesday of the draft, 108 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 4: or whatever it was, and you and I both picked 109 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 4: Dallas Turner, and you picked Kenyon Mitchell Quinnon Mitchell. So 110 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: we were thinking along the same way. I'm sitting in 111 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 4: Mercedes been Stadium, not far from where Shaq was, we 112 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 4: were doing our radio show, and shock would probably be 113 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 4: a good way of describing it. When they made the announcement, 114 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 4: I didn't know what to say, you know, because it 115 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 4: was not what I was considering. I wasn't thinking along 116 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: those lines or any of that kind of stuff. But 117 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: as the term I used was, I marinated. 118 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: On it for a while. 119 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 4: You got it, got Dale's steak. So whatever I put 120 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 4: on it, I marinated for a while. And and when 121 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 4: you begin to look at what they did, it makes 122 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 4: a ton of sense. These guys said in their pre 123 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,559 Speaker 4: draft press conference, both of them, or least Terry said, 124 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 4: we're going to draft the best player available for us, 125 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: and that back end is very key, if you remember it, 126 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: he said, for us. So if you look at this team, 127 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 4: let's just go to the Matt Ryan era. This team 128 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 4: got caught with its pants down when Matt Ryan left. 129 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 4: You had no idea what you wanted to do. You 130 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 4: tried to stop Gapitt Mariota came in, you drafted Ritter. 131 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 4: You had a lot of stuff you're trying to do, 132 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 4: but it was all on the fly. Okay, there was 133 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: no plan in place. That very much resonates here too, 134 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 4: is the succession plan. Yes, there's a chance that Michael 135 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 4: Pennix Junior is not going to play for a couple 136 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 4: of years. In fact, the grand scheme of things in 137 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 4: the perfect scenario, as you talked about, this team plans 138 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: on winning a lot of games in the next couple 139 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 4: of years. That means they're not picking in the early 140 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 4: part of the draft. That means they don't answer they 141 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: have access to a guy like this. So that planning 142 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 4: and future thinking was part of the mix as well. 143 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: That Okay, in a perfect world, Michael Pennix Junior plays 144 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: two years from now, three years from now. Okay, So 145 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: what's that look like? Did you give up on opportunity 146 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 4: to get some key players? Well, what did you do 147 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 4: in free agency? This team wasn't a sleep in free agency. 148 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 4: They went and got guys, they built. Yeah, they put 149 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: depth and stuff on this team. By the way, they 150 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: went ahead and did a really good job of drafting 151 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 4: in the second, third, and fourth rounds as well as 152 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 4: we'll talk about some of the players that are going 153 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: to be on this football team and probably on the 154 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 4: field on the first day of the games they play. 155 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: So all that played in and then you begin to 156 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 4: look at the player. And as you started as I 157 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 4: got that Meritnation process, and look at the player. Just 158 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 4: look at the player. This guy fits exactly what you 159 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 4: want to be. I mean, seventy five eighty percent of 160 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 4: this game shot and I'll tell you, having played the 161 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 4: quarter of position is played on time. We get so 162 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 4: caught up in the periphery, the impromptu, off schedule plays 163 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: that guys make. And oh, by the way, this guy 164 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 4: ran four to five nine at the combine. He's going 165 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 4: to be able to do some of that for you 166 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: did some of it in his career. But what did 167 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: he do the last two years at Washington He's twenty 168 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: five and three. He played the game on time? And 169 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: what has Rahem talked about repeatedly processing and getting the 170 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 4: ball out. That's who Kirk Cousins is. That's who Michael 171 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 4: Pennocks Junior is. So if something happens to Kirk and 172 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 4: the unlikely event, hopefully nothing happens to him. But if 173 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 4: he does, you're handing the ball to a dude. You 174 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: hand picked the play in this offense because of what 175 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 4: he does, his ability to process and get the ball 176 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: out on time. All you gotta do is put any 177 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: tape on you want to. You can even put the 178 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: National Championship game if you want to. The things that 179 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 4: he did in that game wasn't his best game, but 180 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 4: he still did things, a lot of the stuff on time, 181 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: and that's the way this game's played. 182 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: I want to add one more thing right before we 183 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: get yours initial thought on it and the more mayor 184 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: Nate on Like ars mentioned, I thought about from day 185 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: one what Raheem said and what things he put in 186 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: place to help this position but also to help this team. 187 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: You're talking about first going out to get Zach Robinson 188 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: as your OC, then you move TJ. Yates back to 189 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 2: coach the quarterbacks. Ken z MPZ DJ Williams. All these 190 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 2: guys who are quarterback who play the position, who know 191 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: the position and been around the league for years and 192 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: been able to do it. And he spoke about having 193 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: those guys in the building that can help you with 194 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: that process. Now, obviously we thought, okay, that was for 195 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, but also look forward, it was for this 196 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: position as well. For when you think about going to 197 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: get Michael Pennick Jr. You have all these great minds 198 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: coming together to come up with what they got, which 199 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: was Michael Pennick Junior. So if you ever questioned it, 200 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: you have some guys who have been around and done 201 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: it that I absolutely know what this position looks like 202 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: and what it looks like to play at a high level. 203 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 2: And you can say, all right, it just happened by 204 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: one guy Raheem liked him and say all right, let's 205 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: go get him. There is a multitude of people who 206 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: went through this process and said all right, this is 207 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: the right guy, like Ark mentioned for this offense arch. 208 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: You mentioned QB on the fly once or twice when 209 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: you were talking about this right, And I know Terry 210 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: has said this on multiple occasions that the quarterback position 211 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: is the most important position in the game of football 212 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: and in the National Football League, and so they had 213 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: to address it. They had to. And what it said 214 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: to me as soon as I heard the pick was 215 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: because I was not thinking quarterback. But what it said 216 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: to me was quarterback is not going to be an 217 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: issue for this organization anytime soon. That's what it told me, 218 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: and that's what this entire organization decided, is that quarterback 219 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: is not going to be an issue for the Atlanta 220 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: Falcons for the next I don't know, call it three 221 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: to five years, don't know what's going to happen. Right. 222 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: The other thing that I thought about is Kirk Couzins. 223 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: This is a competitor. We've seen that on the field. 224 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: Don't you think maybe Kirk Cousins gonna lock in just 225 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more even if the contract and the 226 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: age and all that other stuff wasn't enough motivation for him. 227 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: Don't you think the fact that in the back of 228 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: his head somewhere he's saying, this organization just spent a 229 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: first round pick on my position. So what you might 230 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: end up getting an even better version of Kirk Cousins 231 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: moving forward, because the competitor in him is saying, I'm 232 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: not giving up my job to this dude, because nobody 233 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL wants to give up their job to anybody. 234 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: Because you know how prescient it is it is when 235 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: you actually get an opportunity to step foot on the field, 236 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: so they're going to have a healthy competition. And the 237 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: last thing I'll say before I turn it back to you, 238 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: because I want to get your thoughts on the quarterback 239 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: is processing information. You talked abou all the people in 240 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: the building right that are going to be able to 241 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: help not only Michael Pennicks but Kirk Cousins. But just 242 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: think about how Michael Pennis is going to be able 243 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: to watch Kirk Cousins process information at an NFL level, 244 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: listen to one of the better guys out there, because 245 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: Kirk's game is reading defenses and throwing the ball on time. Right, 246 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: That's exactly so you got Michael Pennock Junior is gonna 247 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: be able to turn on the tape of every single 248 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: practice that happens on this field behind us, in every 249 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: single preseason game and every single game and watch how 250 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: one of the better quarterbacks in the league processes information, 251 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: gets the ball on the time, and sees mistakes that 252 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: he can kind of correct him in the meeting room 253 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: before he even gets out on the field. So you've 254 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: got a lot of really good things working for the 255 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: entire organization. Nonetheless, those two players before we move out 256 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: of the rest of the draft, because we got to 257 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: get to some other guys. I want to get your opinion, 258 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: your kind of scouting report on Michael Pennock junior. What 259 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: you saw. I got two quarterbacks here. You guys are 260 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: the most qualified to talk about the player. 261 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 2: Interesting enough, he was just one of those guys that 262 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 2: I was kind of drawn to before the even this 263 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: process started. Was out at the NFL Combine and obviously 264 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: played a lot of attention to the quarterbacks, thinking oh, 265 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: it has something to do with the Falcons, but just 266 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: because we played the position, and you want to hear 267 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: these guys talk, you want to hear what they're about. 268 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 2: And I had a chance to, you know, have maybe 269 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 2: like a three four minute conversation with Michael Pennings that 270 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: he was, you know, leaving on the podiums and just 271 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: introduce myself to him. Hey man in Georgia game, all 272 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: this kind of stuff, and throughout that conversation is just 273 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 2: that little time you got you felt as though he 274 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: was one of those kind of guys that you knew 275 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: from day one was a leader, was a guy that 276 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: you wanted to be a part of your team. And 277 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: one thing that I wrote down was this guy has 278 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: the followed me factor. And when I say that, that 279 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 2: means off the field on the field. I wrote down 280 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: some attributes about him that you know when you turn 281 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: on the tape or you talk to him. I had 282 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: a chance to talk to him on Friday when he 283 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: came in, you know, with his introduction, press conference and 284 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 2: all that, had a chance to sit down with him 285 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: and just shoot the breeze and yeat. Certain things just 286 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: stuck out to him. And one thing you like about 287 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: him is he has a charisma about him. And to 288 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: have that as your quarterback, a guy who you know 289 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: is out in front of a the time. He just 290 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 2: has that kind of you know all about him when 291 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: he walks into the room, when he's shaking hand, when 292 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: he's talking to people, and you got to like that. 293 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: Very likable, easy to communicate with. You understand his teammates, 294 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: you know they love him. You can look at any 295 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: videos you have. They're always having a good time. They're 296 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: back and forth. He has a little swagger about him too, 297 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: as we know in Atlanta, having a little swagger at 298 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: the quarterback existion. Having it anywhere period is a big thing. 299 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: And then you start thinking about some of the things 300 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: that he did on the field. Great pocket movement, good vision, 301 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: understands arm angles, understands, you know how to layer footballs. 302 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: And he gets talked about a lot throws a really 303 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: damn good d ball. 304 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: We've seen that. 305 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: We know that, but your turn on tape you see 306 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: him making all type of different throws all over the field, 307 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: and that gives you even more reassurance that this guy 308 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: gets it. He understands it upstairs. He understands it with 309 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: his feet and arch youo, manche you run a four 310 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: to five to nine. 311 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: He can move, He can run. 312 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: He probably surprise a lot of people, but the last 313 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: two years he didn't even use it. 314 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: A lot of people question could he. 315 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: Move because he didn't because he was such a prolific 316 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: passer inside the pocket that people didn't even recognize, Oh, 317 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: he actually can move, he can run, he can actually 318 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 2: get escaped. And those are some of the things that 319 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: I looked at and said, Man, the quick release, just 320 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: having that mental capacity to even understand, and we all 321 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: talked about the process is a big part of it. 322 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: But when you're around him, you feel like he is 323 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: that franchise guy. You feel like you just know he's 324 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: a quarterback from day one, and I enjoyed sitting down 325 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: talking to him. Man, very humble kid, had a bunch 326 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: of his family here. Everybody was excited, but just the 327 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: fact that you get that kind of guy who can 328 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: come and learn, is willing to learn. 329 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 3: And one last thing I heard throughout this process, there 330 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: were a couple of guys who the. 331 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: Falcons wanted to work out and they said, oh, no, 332 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: we probably be gone by that time. We don't need 333 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: to work out. He was one guy that said, yeah, 334 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: I want to work out, And I thought that spoke 335 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: volumes that anytime he get a chance to compete, like 336 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: we just talked about with Kirk Cousins, he wants to 337 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: do it. And I thought that's about Volumes two, about 338 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: who he is as a player, but also as a 339 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: person regardless of what's going on. This guy is a 340 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: guy you want to be at the helm of your office. 341 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: Here's the last thing I'll say on Michael Pennix and 342 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: then we'll get to the last part of the draft. 343 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: To kind of close this thing up, is I love 344 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: the quote that came out that said, obviously we know 345 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: about all the injuries that he had in Indiana, and 346 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: they were asking him about it, and the quote was, Yeah, 347 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: they can do all the MRIs and everything that they 348 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: want to do on my body, but what they really 349 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: need is to do in EKG to basically see what's 350 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: in my mind and what's in my heart. And I 351 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: was like, he kind of just might drive on. He said, 352 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't care. You can do all the little men 353 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: the evaluations you want on me medically, but you better 354 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: find out what's up here first, and maybe that's what 355 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: won this organization over So Michael Pennocks Junior, eighth overall, 356 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: first round, twenty twenty four Draft. All right, guys, so 357 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: we thought defense might have been the spot for number 358 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: eight overall. Well, let's talk about out second, third, and 359 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: fourth round because that's where the focus shifted to. So Arch, 360 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back to you when I'm gonna I. 361 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 3: Can't wait to hear him. 362 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you three names, and I'm gonna let 363 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: you go wherever you'd like to go with this. All right, 364 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: second round Rooke aroro Row out of Clemson, Brayln Trice 365 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: out of Washington, and Brandon Dorles in the fourth round. 366 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: All three defensive linemen slash outside linebackers, give us a 367 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: little scouting report, and what you like most about these 368 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: guys are, well, let's. 369 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 4: Let's couple Rooke Aroo with Brandon Dorles because what you're 370 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 4: getting our versatile defensive linemen that are very similar players 371 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 4: from a size standpoint, both about six three sixty four, 372 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 4: about two eighty five to two ninety five, both are 373 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 4: very similar guys. What you see when you put Rooke's 374 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 4: tape on is a violent player that plays to a certainty, 375 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: which is kind of cool, kind of plays a little 376 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 4: that out of control, kind of plays a little bit high, 377 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 4: which you'll have to work on at the National Football 378 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 4: League level, get his pad level down. But when he 379 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 4: picks a side and decides that's where he's going, there's 380 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 4: not a lot of people that stop him. And I 381 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 4: think that what you saw with he and Dorriless, the 382 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 4: young man out of Oregon was position versatility. These are 383 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 4: guys because you're making a transition to a hybrid three 384 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 4: man line. You now have Doro Less and Auroro can 385 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 4: play from the one technically all the way out to 386 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 4: the five techniques, so you're talking about three technique five, 387 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 4: so they can play all along the line. Where were 388 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 4: you hurt last year. From an injury standpoint, Grady Jarrett 389 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 4: goes down with a knee, you lost David on Yamata 390 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 4: for a significant amount, you had guys playing that were 391 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: off of the streets that you didn't you know, had 392 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 4: to look them up, you know who they were. You've 393 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 4: got some depth now as you add these two guys 394 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 4: in and they're young guys that have had success. Now 395 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 4: do they have do they need to work on their games? Yeah, 396 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 4: But to go back to what Terry said in his 397 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 4: pre draft press conference, We're going to draft the best 398 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 4: player available for us. And why these two guys fit 399 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 4: is because of their position, versatility, and their relentlessness with 400 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 4: which they come off the ball. They're splitters of gaps. 401 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 4: You're tall. You're not asking these two guys to two 402 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 4: gap or anything. You're going to give them a side 403 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 4: and they're going to rip through people and the ability 404 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 4: to do that. Brandon Trice Rayln Trice is a guy 405 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 4: that has a more polished game. This is a guy 406 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 4: that comes in from Washington, had outstanding success. You go 407 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: back two years ago, he and will Anderson were the 408 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 4: top two pressure makers on the quarterback in the entire nation. 409 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 4: So this guy has success. He's got a mature game. 410 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: By that, I mean he's got multiple moves to get 411 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 4: to the passer. You essentially got a guy that many 412 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 4: had raided in the back end of the first round, 413 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 4: and I had him on my top five edge rushers 414 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 4: in our evaluation on falcons dot com. He was one 415 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 4: of the five I talked about it. They had him 416 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 4: rated in the back end of the first round, early 417 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 4: second round. You got him in the third round, like 418 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 4: seventy fifth pick. This guy had first round grades all aroum. 419 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 4: You know why didn't he go in the first round? 420 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 4: You're asking didn't run four or five. He didn't run 421 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 4: four four six like Dallas Turner did. He ran four 422 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 4: to seven or something like that. But when you put 423 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 4: the tape on, he has what I termed on those breakdowns, 424 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 4: he has a last play mentality. Every play he plays 425 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 4: with a relentlessness and a motor that doesn't turn off. 426 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: And by that you got a guy that's gonna make 427 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 4: a lot of plays for you. That's my evaluation those three. 428 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: Day One thing I wanted to point out arch you 429 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: mentioned that Rouke's game was a little bit out of control. 430 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys might have seen it, but if 431 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: you didn't get a chance, Like listen to Rouke's conversation 432 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: when he got the phone call about him getting drafted. 433 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: He was going out of control when they found out 434 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: let's know that he was getting drafted. I mean to 435 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: the point to where he wouldn't even let Arthur Blank, 436 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: the owner, talked to him. He was going nuts with 437 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: all the people that was at his draft party, and 438 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: let's go, y'all got a dog, I'm ready to go 439 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: to work. 440 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 3: He told you. 441 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: He told you it was pretty entertaining. So if you 442 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: haven't seen it, make sure you go look that up. 443 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool to see dj I'm gonna ask the 444 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: same question to you, which of these three guys sticks 445 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: out to you as a guy that's gonna be a 446 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: potential difference maker maybe early on for this Atlanta defense. 447 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 2: I think it has to be Brailer, the last guy 448 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: that that Arch mentioned, because of his ability to be 449 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: able to like mention. He's one of the more polished 450 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 2: guys that's come out the league, and he's a guy 451 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: that struck out to me when you watch Washington, he 452 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 2: was a guy that I watched. 453 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: I saw that number eight all the time, and he 454 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: was a guy that showed up for you. 455 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 2: So when his name came across the board, he said, Oh, 456 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: this is a guy you can get in the third round. 457 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: You feel as though this is a guy that can 458 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: come in from day one and add value. Now, not 459 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: saying the other two guys won't add value, because I 460 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 2: think they will, but I think Brailan comes in and 461 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: has that kind of distinctive nature about him that he's 462 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: gonna find a way to get on the whether it's 463 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: a third down, maybe it's in a rush package where 464 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: he's gonna find a way to be a part of 465 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: the mix and be a guy that you can actually 466 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: depend on when you open up the year. 467 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's probably the one of those three that I'm 468 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: the most excited to see if he ends up being 469 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: the difference maker, probably just because we talk so much 470 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: about an edge rusher, an art you talked about again 471 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: for those that may not be that football savvy, you 472 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: talked about the other two guys as being inside like 473 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: one technique meaning out to a five right, So you're 474 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: looking at a guy that can line up over the center, 475 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: right over the top of the center, anywhere out to 476 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: the outside shade of a tackle, right, So these guys 477 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: are basically playing inside of the tackles, whereas Brayln Trice 478 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: is probably gonna be more of your prototypical nine technique. 479 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: Maybe he's gonna line up on the on the outside 480 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 1: shade of the tackle, but he's likely gonna be somewhere 481 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: out there in space so he can go and use 482 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: some athleticism, use his length that we're talking about so 483 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: much that you know Terry and Raheem talking about length. 484 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: Raheem loves length, right. He brings some length to this defense, 485 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: but you also got two disruptors inside that you've got 486 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: some depth behind. Because they also talked about it's the 487 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: one position on the field where you're seeing probably the 488 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: most rotation. Right your offensive line. You might have eight 489 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: of them active on game day, you're pretty much seeing 490 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: five of them play right. You're seeing one quarterback play, 491 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: you're seeing three or four wide receivers, but you're generally 492 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: seeing your defensive front rotate. 493 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 3: Right. 494 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: If there's sixty plays in a game, it might be 495 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: forty to thirty five for one and twenty five for 496 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: the other. Right, So they're going to play a lot. 497 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: If these guys prove during training camp and during the 498 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: preseason that they're ready to go out and compete for 499 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: this organization. Guys, let's wrap this up with the final 500 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: four selections. JD. Bertrand out of Notre Dame. You got 501 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: inside linebacker. You got a running back, Jase McClelland from Alabama. 502 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: You got a wide receiver in Casey Washington from Illinois. 503 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: And Zion log a dog Georgia, another big body for 504 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: the interior of that defense. Let me start with you, Dj, 505 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: which of those four guys sticks out to you the most. 506 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 2: I'm excited to see a Nady Birchran and obviously a 507 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: guy from this area with the blessed trinity. An athletic 508 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: guy from that lineback position. Actually played both sides of 509 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 2: the football in high school, played off at play a 510 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 2: linebacker and also running back on that side. You know 511 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: he has the athleticism, but then goes to Notre Dame 512 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: and is a leading tackler in the last three years. 513 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 2: Had to see on his jersey at a place like 514 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 2: Notre Dame. You know it means a lot. You watch 515 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 2: this guy. He is a downhill thumper, wants to get 516 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 2: to the football, probably not going to be confused at 517 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: all because of the way he plays. But you're talking 518 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 2: about a guy led team in tagle last three year 519 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: seventy sixth, last year two and a half. But it's 520 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: just want to stay title on two state titles in 521 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: high school. But a guy that you know, if thrown 522 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 2: in the voy, you need a guy like last year 523 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 2: we had Nate Lambon throw in there and the guy played, 524 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: actually JD birch Trane. I think fits similar mode of Hey, 525 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: if something happens to your inside guys or you need 526 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: a now that the guy to come in there and 527 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: run and move around. 528 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 3: He is that kind of guy. So I like j. D. 529 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: Bertrand is one of those type of players to really 530 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: pay attention to and then you know he's gonna be 531 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 2: a really good player on teams, and I think that's 532 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 2: part of this process as well. Like a Casey Washington 533 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 2: as well, a speedy kind of guy you expect to 534 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: see him Acgunnard who could show up for you and 535 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: be a real gown that third that fourth down play 536 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: for you and be bad for you. So I like 537 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 2: those two guys for the fact of they're gonna add 538 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: great depth for you, but also are probably gonna be 539 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: Stale made from day one on your special teams. 540 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Arch, you're probably looking at you know, not to 541 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: take anything away from these guys as far as their 542 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: ability to play offense or defense, but you're you're looking 543 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: at more teams guys, somebody that's gonna provide depth for you, 544 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: but is maybe gonna be on the punt team. They're 545 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: gonna be on the punt return team, and they need 546 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: to go out there and take care of that business, 547 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: show a willingness to do that. And then if their 548 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: number is called due to injury or due to lack 549 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: of production, then that's when you step up and you 550 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: contribute at an inside linebacker position, at a wide receiver position. 551 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: Which one of those four guys sticks out to you. 552 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Shock did a really good job of 553 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 4: breaking those guys down. I guess instead of camping on JG. Bertram, Well, 554 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: what I'll do is mentioned with Bertrand and Trice both 555 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 4: were team captains. You mentioned were the Sea. It's something 556 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 4: that I've talked to Terry Fonta about a number of times. 557 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 4: He loves guys that were those kind of guys for 558 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 4: their team that were elected by their teammates to be captains. 559 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 4: Why is that a big deal. Well, they're self starters. 560 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: There are guys that you're not going to have to 561 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 4: encourage to go in in practice, they're going to be 562 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 4: the guys doing that, even though they're young guys, because 563 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 4: that's the role they played in college, and so they're 564 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 4: going to bring that to the table here. And so 565 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 4: you love self starter type guys, and that's what a 566 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 4: lot of team captains are. Trice and Bertrand both held 567 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 4: that mantle when they were in college at Washington and 568 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 4: Notre Dame. I think Casey Washington, and I'm going to 569 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 4: liken him to a guy we picked in a very 570 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 4: similar situation, probably about six or seven years ago, again 571 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 4: named Russell Gage, that we drafted that had not played 572 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 4: a lot of receiver or not, had not garnered a 573 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 4: lot of attention as receiver, racked up a lot of 574 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 4: numbers until his senior year and then it was still 575 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 4: a little bit slight there. This kid is very similar 576 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 4: to that. He can run, he's got good size, six ' 577 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 4: to two, about two hundred pounds, but a shock talked 578 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 4: about this guy's going to be a monster for you 579 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 4: on special teams. And oh, by the way, he had 580 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 4: two hundred and eighteen yards receiving. In his last game 581 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 4: against against Northwestern, he had eighty five thrown balls thrown 582 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 4: at him. He dropped three passes. So if he does 583 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 4: get pushed into wide receiver duty, the dude's going to 584 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 4: catch the rock when you throw it to him. I mean, 585 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 4: his his track record would say that log is a 586 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 4: guy that's going to be another rotational guy if he's 587 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 4: going to be a developmental guy too. Talk about Zion, 588 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 4: he's a guy that got to play at Georgia, played 589 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 4: a lot of games. What was more of a guy 590 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 4: that they plugged in from time time and Shot can 591 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 4: talk more about him, but he's a guy at six 592 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 4: foot six, three hundred and fifteen three hundred and twenty 593 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 4: pounds that becomes one of those bodies that if he 594 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 4: does get to play on game day and is active 595 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 4: on game day, which there may be some develop metal 596 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 4: pieces to that as we move forward in his career. 597 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 4: You love those guys you can kind of develop on 598 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 4: practice squad or at the back end of your roster 599 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 4: that ultimately are going to have to play. Probably because 600 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 4: of the just the guys going down, he has the 601 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 4: opportunity to come in and do that because of the 602 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 4: big body. Jace McClellan's another guy will be a special 603 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 4: teams guy. He was a solid runner, nothing flashy about him. 604 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 4: He does have really good vision. If you watch him 605 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 4: on tape, he is a really quick decision maker. Doesn't 606 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 4: have great top end speed, but all of a sudden 607 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 4: you look up and he ravaged five point six yards 608 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 4: of carry for Alabama. So that's a guy that if 609 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 4: he does get plugged in at running back that third 610 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 4: running back position, he's gonna be able to come in 611 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 4: and do some stuff. But he's also going to contribute 612 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 4: on special teams. So all in all, I thought they 613 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 4: got a bunch of guys that are self starters, like 614 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 4: I said, but guys are going to come in and 615 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 4: are going to contribute. As you start talking about depth. 616 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 3: The self starter is a big thing. 617 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: And the other part about the last two guys you 618 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: mentioned Jas and Zion Low two guys who are patient, 619 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: guys who knew their role. You think about the last 620 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 2: few years. How long did it take for Jas mccollon 621 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 2: to play at Alabama. Yeah, and then when he finally 622 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: got his got his opportunity. He was a big part 623 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,719 Speaker 2: of how good they were last year, So give him 624 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: a lot of credit for understanding that he wanted to compete. 625 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: But then also he held that role in Zion Logan 626 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 2: is another guy who you know, he played throughout his career, 627 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: played a bunch of games for Georgia, but he also 628 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: sat behind Jordan Davis, sat behind Jalen Carter, sat behind 629 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: guys who were really fagme names and faces. And then 630 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: he got his opportunities last year and was a captain, 631 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 2: played really well and got on the radar and obviously 632 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: called the eye of the falcon. 633 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 3: So give those guys both a lot. 634 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: Of credit for understanding their roles, which is gonna be 635 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: huge coming to the National Football leagueer O, I just 636 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: mentioned where you're probably gonna be a developmental guy. You 637 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: may be a practice squad guy, you may be a 638 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 2: guy that's forced to be a scout team guy. So 639 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 2: you got to make sure you know how to handle 640 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,239 Speaker 2: that particular role. And these guys have been in it, 641 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 2: and they also have been at the highest of captains 642 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 2: and all that kinds of part of their team. 643 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Terry and Raheem talked about so how 644 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: makeup is so important and that probably was part of 645 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: their decision making process on those two guys, like they 646 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: liked the makeup of those guys that stayed in it, 647 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: stayed committed, waited for their turn because guess what, at 648 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: the position that they were drafted, You're probably gonna have 649 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: to wait your turn here in the NFL too, if 650 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: you get a turn. That's just how things work in 651 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: the National Football League. But somebody that's willing and able 652 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: to just go work every single day and wait for 653 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: your opportunity and then seize that moment once you do. 654 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: The last thing I'll say about these last four guys, 655 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: and I don't want to take anything away from Casey Washington, 656 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: He's going to kind of be excluded from this comment. 657 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: But you had J. D. Bertrand from Notre Dame, you 658 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: had Jace McClelland from Alabama, and you had Zion log 659 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: from Georgia. Three what I would call purebred college football 660 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: programs that are always in the spotlight, and guys that 661 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: produced at programs that are always in the spotlight. There's 662 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: always pressure on their shoulders at those three organizations. Take 663 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 1: that for what it's worth, but it's another factor that 664 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: I think coaches and personnel departments look at is. These 665 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: are guys that performed when they were constantly on television, 666 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: constantly evaluated, on criticized, and in front of some really 667 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: good coaching staffs. I mean, you can make an argument 668 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: that Kirby Smart staff and Nick Saban's staff is very 669 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: close to an NFL staff the way that they coach 670 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: their players. So these guys have been coached extremely hard 671 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: and they're ready for this opportunity. So there you go. 672 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: We broke it down from one to seven. Hopefully we 673 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: gave you some nuggets. Hopefully we gave you some information. 674 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: But that is the twenty twenty four Atlanta Falcons draft class. 675 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 3: Aren't you got any nicknames? Are ready for any of 676 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 3: these guys yet? 677 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 4: You know? 678 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 3: Well, I mean thinking. 679 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 4: About going with Ruke ro Okay, okay, I'm gonna maybe 680 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 4: his first name is actually tougher than his back last name. 681 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 4: They've simple flied. Ruke is like four letters in the 682 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 4: middle of his first name, so they did them somebody 683 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 4: a service. At Clemson, his first name actually starts with 684 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 4: an O two, so I thought double O and if 685 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 4: we could give him like number seven, could we put 686 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 4: number seven? 687 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 3: Oh? 688 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? 689 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? Like it? 690 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 4: Can we go double oh seven? This hedge. You might 691 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 4: bet there, But hey, how about Dorlesworth. 692 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: I love the Big Dade single digital number? 693 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that, knew I knew had thought about 694 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: it because you know, I know he got some good 695 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: ones when he called double Oh. 696 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: I like that one for Ruke. Although a lot of people, 697 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: if they don't know the story, we're going to be like, 698 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: what's the first his name is Ruke? But I know 699 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: you're pretty safe if you go with Ruke. If you 700 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: if in the broadcast arch, if you keep saying a 701 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: roller row, at some point, you're gonna get tripped over that. 702 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: As broadcasters, we all know how that goes, all right. 703 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: So there's a breakdown of twenty twenty four Atlanta Falcons 704 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: draft class. Again, this is looking out into the future 705 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: and maybe these guys end up being playmakers. They said 706 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: that they were very busy in the off season and 707 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: free agency, and by the way, the guys that were 708 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: drafted last year or the year before, they're looking for 709 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: them to take bigger steps in their game and be 710 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: bigger contributors. As we step closer to the twenty twenty 711 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: four NFL season. That's going to wrap it up here 712 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: in the Falcons Audible presented by AT and T. We 713 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: are here talking about all the big moments of the offseason, 714 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: and I think the NFL Draft classifies as one of 715 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: those big moments.
