Dave Archer Racks not with us, Racks out 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: vacation with his family, so I hope he's having a 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: good time. But Shock and I have you down for 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: this week's Falcons Audible here presented by AT and T 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: and Shaka. Is a tough one. We got a break 7 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: down a game that was very meaningful for the team. 8 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: It had a lot of impact on staying alive. Now 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: I'm going to do a dumb and dumber on here. 10 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: Oh you're saying there's a chance, yes, yea Atlanta is 11 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: still alive, And we'll tell you about that. In fact, 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Bears matchup. We'll also talk about 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: what that playoff picture looks like. It's very simple. We'll 14 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: break that down for you and we'll look at some 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: of the superlatives. Some of the guys that are playing 16 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: extremely well it seems like week in and week out, 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: and some of the guys we need to maybe pick 18 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: it up a little bit. But big matchup this weekend. 19 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: All right, Initial thoughts Bears, Falcons, cool weather, and the 20 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: whole backdrop of what's supposed to look like in Chicago 21 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: in December, but the result was not where it was. 22 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: What were your initial thoughts and about this game? 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: So I look back and obviously you think about that 24 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: game and you say, man, this was a game that 25 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: you felt pretty good going into, and you felt like 26 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: this was a huge opportunity for this team to go 27 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: on the road and do something they hadn't done a 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 2: lot this year, which was when I think you we 29 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: won two games on the road this season. But you 30 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: go into an environment where, hey, like you've always talked about, 31 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be actually got some 32 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: snow flurries, but both teams haven't play in that, and 33 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: obviously that's just part. 34 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 3: Of the plan. 35 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: But I thought in this game, I thought there were 36 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: some missed opportunities in the game from the Falcons standpoint, 37 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: that would have gave them a bunch of opportunities in 38 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: this game. Obviously, their receptions are something that you just 39 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 2: hate to have in the game, and whenever you lose 40 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: that turnover battle, as we know, sometimes you're wanted likely 41 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: going to lose the football game. But I thought you 42 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: had opportunities in this game to kind of push the 43 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: envelope forward there were number opportunities where you had guys 44 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: running free in their secondary. You had a bunch of 45 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: chances where you could have gotten off the field a 46 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: couple of times. But this just was a game ultimately 47 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: where those opportunities really didn't afford you to chance to 48 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: win the ball game late. 49 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: I thought, for for the most part, you ran the 50 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 3: ball well. 51 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: You a was five point six yards of rushing the 52 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: game another game over one hundred yards rushing. Had one 53 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty four in the game. One of the 54 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: keys I thought was Heineke being able to use his 55 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 2: legs in the game. He had a number of third 56 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: down rushers or just opportunities where things weren't there down 57 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: the field, and he took off the touchdown run to 58 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: cut the lead I thought was a big time run 59 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: by him over twenty plus yards for that. But this 60 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 2: just was a game where I thought you had opportunities, 61 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 2: especially at times on the defensive side, to get justin 62 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: fields on the ground. And he made a couple of 63 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: players in the game that were kind of backbreakers. Yeah, 64 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: they were backbreakers that that hurt you. And I remember 65 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: one third down where his third or some and you 66 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: got them corrut in the backfield. I think buddet pre 67 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: has a shot on him. I think on your Mana 68 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: has a shot on him, and he gets out of 69 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: it and has a you know, thirteen fourteen yard game 70 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: or whatever it is. So I just look back on 71 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: some of the situations of the game, and you just 72 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: didn't finish those moments as good as you as you 73 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: thought you should. 74 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: Shock. It seems like this has been something that we've 75 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: talked about repeatedly. This team has been in position to 76 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: make plays or plays are available there and they make 77 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: some and some they don't make. And it seems like 78 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: the ones they don't make, especially when you play in 79 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: close football games, which this team has a great deal 80 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: of the time. I think thirty three of their last 81 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: thirty three games twenty three have been one score games. 82 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: We've talked about that, and when you're in those kind 83 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: of close games, it's magnified when you don't make make 84 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: some of the plays. Okay, down fourteen nothing, okay, and 85 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: it happened. Seemed kind of like it happened quick. Atlanta 86 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: doesn't take the football or they take the football, don't 87 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: really get you get the gadget play. They get you 88 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: on the first play of the game, get you out 89 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: over midfield. All of a sudden, you got wow, you 90 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: got something going here, and you line up for another 91 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: gadget play and Viijon mishandles the snap maybe a little 92 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: off to his left, balls on the ground, and it 93 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: seems like this offense is at a tough time shock 94 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: overcoming negative plays within a three down sequence. Is there 95 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: something that sticks out to you? And it's tough for 96 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: any team, it's tough for any play caller when you 97 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, it's first and twelve, it's 98 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: second and twelve, Yeah, it's it's third and nine. Is 99 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: there anything that sticks out to you as how you 100 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: overcome that? Is there something we're not doing that we 101 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: can overcome more of those, or just let's let's stay 102 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: out of those situations. 103 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, you know, I still come in 104 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: ar the smith for trying to be creative, And of course, 105 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: hindsight's twenty twenty. You look back and you say, man, 106 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: probably shouldn't ran that play or didn't work, it didn't 107 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: look good or whatever the personnel was in. And I 108 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: go back to some of the things I hear the 109 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: players talk about every single week, and it's the details. 110 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: And you go into these ball games and these are 111 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: plays that you've practiced probably five six times throughout the week, 112 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 2: and you have the play down, you have the details 113 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: of it, you know the nuances of it, how things 114 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: must go and forever reason the details of it, and then 115 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: you get in the game and you don't execute it, 116 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: and it's hard to pinpoint it. Obviously, we're not being 117 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: able to sit in the meetings with these guys or 118 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: you know, be able to talk to coach about it 119 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: in those scenarios. But I don't fault Ardor Smith for 120 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: calling these plays at times because he's trying to find 121 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: the best play in those situations and he's trying to, 122 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: you know, kind of break Tennessees. If you look you 123 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: look back on a lot of games, you look back 124 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: on a lot of situations, and you say, man, they're 125 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: so predictable at this They're so predictable that when you 126 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: fans say that all the time and then you see 127 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: something different happens and it doesn't work and you're bad 128 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: about it. I understand that, But I love the creativity 129 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: that Autor Smith has always had with this within his offense, 130 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: and I think that was the scenario there where you know, 131 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: the guys just did not executed. If it was a 132 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 2: play that he saw happen like this three four times 133 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: in practice, he probably would have scratched it. 134 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: He probably wouldn't have called it. 135 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: But obviously it was a play he felt good about 136 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: at that moment, at that time in the game, and 137 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: it just didn't go on execute. 138 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 3: So it's I think it's hard to. 139 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: Kind of fault either smith Ford or or fault the 140 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: situation because he's just trying to make Uh. I think 141 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: the best scenario for you, what do you think it is? 142 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: Because obviously you get to be around this team so 143 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 2: much more. You talk to Arthur, you have a king 144 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: since you talk to the quarterbacks every week. Uh, there 145 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 2: there has to be something that they talk about after 146 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: game where you know, a postgame that says, all right, 147 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 2: things just didn't go away. 148 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: But what do you think is the reason? 149 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, you got to take with the 150 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: good with the bad, right, I mean the first play 151 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: of the game, you get the double reverse pass, You're thinking, wow, okay, 152 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: that's cool. Yeah, and then all of a sudden you 153 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: look up and you're you're moving the football. And then 154 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: all both quarterbacks are in the game, and so you 155 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: kind of slide forward in your seat and anticipation, well 156 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: hereck Chum's another one, and you get a little snap. 157 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: So you're gonna have some good plays with some bad plays, 158 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: even when you go conventional offense and you run the 159 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: football for no gain essentially, or run the football into 160 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: two yard loss, or you have this play it seems 161 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: like we want as a fan to look at it 162 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: and say, why are you running a gadget play? Well, 163 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: we could have run it into the line and been 164 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: a minus shooting and play too. So we've had some 165 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: of those, and it's just been there has been a 166 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: little bit of an inconsistency with all eleven. And I 167 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: don't think it's necessarily a coaching scenario. It's a focused scenario. 168 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: You know, there's play calls and things that go into 169 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: it that just have not been completely in sequence for 170 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: an entire game. And frankly, most teams get out of 171 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: sequence at some point they're in the game. But shat, 172 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: I want to take you back to fourteen nothing, Atlanta 173 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: gets the football back and you go three count screen 174 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: and a guy that has been good was good last 175 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: year broke the rookie rushing record in Tyler Algear, we 176 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: don't talk as much about him as a pass receiver. 177 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: He had the screenplay against Carolina Labs next year in 178 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: like Week seven or eight, took twenty twenty five yards 179 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Well, this one he took a lot 180 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: further than that. Tell me about the play and the 181 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: way it unfolded, because there were some pretty cool stuff 182 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: that happened on the play that gave him the opportunity. Whoop, sorry, 183 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: gave up. He gave the opportunity for Tyler to go 184 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: to distance. 185 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you look back on that play and you say, 186 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: man first obviously starts with Taylor. He does such a 187 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: good job of having to change his arm angle just 188 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: to get that football out. You think about sometimes in 189 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: screens where you know, lineman, let the D line come 190 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: up and they're immediately in your face and you have 191 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: to kind of navigate the traffic of a guy in 192 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: your face and you got to get that football out. 193 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 3: So it does a good job of getting the ball out. 194 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: And then I think for a really good screen you 195 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: have to have athletic linemen who can get out in 196 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: space and block. And I thought Lynch from this is 197 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: such a great job of one of his guy by 198 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: swiping them by then getting out right now getting on 199 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: the dB, and it was such a good design. And 200 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: then you look down the field. You got receivers blocking 201 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: the on the back end. Tyler does a good job 202 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: of setting up the blocks and then using speed to 203 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: go seventy five yards. You'll see to happen run away 204 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: from a defense. But it was a perfect call. I 205 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: love the call on first down. Their defense is excited, 206 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: they want to get up field, they want to rush 207 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: the passer, and you drop that football off and you know, 208 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: you got guys out in front, you know, kind of 209 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: being a caravan for Tyler Igier, which was a really 210 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: cool play. Like you mentioned, it's fourteen nothing right now 211 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 2: you need a big time drive and you go back 212 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: and boom, one play, you're right back in. It's fourteen 213 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: to seven. Now you feel good about the west of 214 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: the way this game could go. But I love the 215 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: call from Walther Smith. I love the execution part of 216 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 2: it because there are a lot of things that could 217 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: have happened. A guy could not have got his block 218 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: or not gotten out, or Lenstrom could have you know, 219 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: whiffed on this guy. 220 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: He did a good job of. 221 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: Staying kind of square on that defensive back, and then 222 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: obviously DB's blocking down the field. You had receivers running 223 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: their vertical routes and then coming back to block. So 224 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 2: every guy had to do their particular job on that 225 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: particular play to get that thing back to seven boys. 226 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk about, you know, clutch moments, clutch plays 227 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: and clutch moments, and you talk to us through that perfectly. 228 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Algier's ability to step up and slow pay the three 229 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: count screen. Why is it called three count screen because 230 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: the old days thousand and one thousand and two thousand 231 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: and you release out okay, and so you're looking to 232 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: make it look like drop back, and everybody's got to 233 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: be on the same page. Quarterback makes it look like 234 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: drop back, and then he starts to lose ground, and 235 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: a shock said, I got to find an angle to 236 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: get the football to the back. Algier steps in there 237 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: like he's part of the protection. He can't release too 238 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: soon because of its man coverage, or even if it's 239 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: a zone and the linebacker sees it, he's going to 240 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: break on it. Linemen have to be timed up perfectly. 241 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: If they leave released too soon, man here come people 242 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: downhill trying to make the play. So the execution there 243 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: was phenomenal. So as much as we say, okay, there's 244 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: some moments where we don't execute that one was one 245 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: of those plays where it was executed perfectly. Talking about 246 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: Lynstrom downfield, Scotty Miller down the field and you have 247 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: a seventy five yard touchdown. By the way, how long 248 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: in this leag you're gonna underestimate how fast shot or 249 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: al Jack though. I mean, he looks like he's a 250 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: banger between the tackles, but if you get him on 251 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: the edge. He did it last week too on toss 252 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: play where he got in the end zone. I want 253 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: to ask you about the backs, and the backs have 254 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: been kind of the featured part of this offense. Drake 255 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: London's been solid. A few moments from Kyle here and there, 256 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: but the two backs have been predominantly the guys right. 257 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: Bijon Robinson touched the football yesterday, I'm sorry on Sunday 258 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: what eighteen times? Eighteen times for eighty six yards. Algier 259 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: touched it just six times for eighty eight yards, but 260 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: seventy five came on one play. Is is that one 261 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: of those scenarios shock for you where you're riding the 262 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: hot hand. Jon seemed to have a little bit of 263 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: a flow run in the football where we've seen Algier 264 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: in those positions before. 265 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. 266 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: It's interesting to say that because I think every game 267 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 2: has been different, and there's been games where it feels 268 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: like Bijon's involved up it feels like games Tyler has been, 269 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: you know, not really as effective. But I thought in 270 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: this game, you found ways to get Vjon on the 271 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: football in space, and he ran theom football really well. 272 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: Give the guys up front some credit to there were 273 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: some holes upfront, and this was against a defense that 274 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: was really you know, it was pretty good against the 275 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: run coming in. So you talk about being able to 276 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: run the football and have those two guys have a 277 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: kind of productive game is always good. And whenever a 278 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: guy has that kind of like you say, hot hand, 279 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: you gotta try to keep feeding him. And I think 280 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: the Falcons have done such a good job of trying 281 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: to create ways for those guys to get the football. 282 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: I remember there was games where you know, Tyler is 283 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 2: the feature guy in the ball game and people think, oh, 284 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: you draft Bijon and he should be the guy that's 285 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: touching the football every time. Well, we heard early were 286 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: probably midway through the year after Smith talked about, hey, 287 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: maybe we use Bijon a little too much and put 288 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: too much on his plate, and then you remember, hey, 289 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: I do got a thousand yard back here and Tyler 290 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 2: Jeer who can make a lot of guys miss, who 291 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: can make a lot of things happen for him. 292 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 3: So I love the combination. 293 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: I love the fact that you're going to a ball 294 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: game not knowing who will probably be the hot hand, 295 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: but you continue to feed him and it only bodes 296 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: well for the quarterback bos well for his offense. And 297 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: I think both those guys have done a good job 298 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: this year of understanding what they're role is in a 299 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: particular game, because it changes every single week of who's 300 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: going to be the guy that has the ten to 301 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: fifteen carriers, who's the guy who's going to catch the 302 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: football out of the backfield, or it's been times both 303 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 2: of them been in the game. So I love the 304 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: usage of both those guys. I think they're both ultra 305 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: talented and fit what Alice Smith likes to do really well, 306 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: which is be downhill physical backs but also have the 307 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: ability to hurt you in the past game. 308 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: Okay, some superlatives from this game. And I know the 309 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: win was the number one concern. It always is when 310 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: you get in the game. We didn't get that done. 311 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: But Tyler alger I mentioned what he had in the 312 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdowns, the longest play of his career. 313 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: It's the longest play from scrimmage this season for the Falcons. 314 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: In fact, it's the longest play from scrimmage since the 315 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown pass by Demere Bird a year 316 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: ago in Cincinnati. So a big time play. Jean Robinson 317 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: eighty six yards from scrimmage. He ties William Andrews record 318 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: set in nineteen seventy nine for a rookie Wow thirteen 319 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: and thirty two yards in sixteen games. And so that's 320 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: where it's gonna end for me. I played, we have 321 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: another gewn the game. Jon's gonna get's gonna break the record, 322 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: but it's a sixteen game record, and I'm gonna I'm 323 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: gonna protect you. I'm gonna put will you, I'm gonna 324 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: protect William Andrews here. That's a that's a bit, but 325 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: an unbelievable performance by a guy taking that had unbelievably 326 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: high expectations. You're talking about a guy now that's on 327 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: the verge of a thousand yards. He's got nine hundred 328 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: and forty forty eight yards rushing. He's got fifty one 329 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: receptions on the year. He's got seven touchdowns, which eclipse 330 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: is what William Andrews did that year. William had five touchdowns. 331 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: V Jon's got seven touches or something. 332 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: Excuse with saying, just I'm thinking about those numbers and 333 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: you come into the season and everybody you know was 334 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: enamored with what Jon Robinson can do. How would he 335 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: fit in his offense with the numbers you just mentioned, 336 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: would you say that was a successful season without knowing 337 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: anything else, you say, okay, these are the numbers heading 338 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: into the last week of the season. Would you say 339 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: this was a deductive and what you thought would be 340 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: for a Vjon Robinson in this offense productive? 341 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I think unfortunately our head is a little bit 342 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: clouded because we're equating wins. We want wins, and so 343 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: we're shy in that category. And I would concur with 344 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: the fan and that we're in this game to win games. 345 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: Numbers are nice and you can sprinkle all the numbers 346 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: you want to, but ultimately you got to win football games. 347 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: But if you just singled out his performance as a rookie, yeah, 348 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about a record that stood since nineteen seventy 349 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: nine in this franchise. Think about how many really good 350 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: rookies have come through this organization and Bjon Robinson to 351 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: be standing there tied for the all time record. Also, 352 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: Drake London breaks the record that Julio Jones had pretty 353 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: good player back in the day. Julio Jones not too 354 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: far back in the day, but most receptions in a 355 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: two year span by a player. He has one hundred 356 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: and thirty seven receptions. Julio set that record one hundred 357 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: and thirty three receptions. And Jesse Bates eleven tackles this weekend. 358 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: He now has six games with double digit tackles. If 359 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: I told you Jesse Bates and what he's gonna bring 360 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: the table, were you thinking, I think you were thinking takeaways, 361 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: which I was to and he's done that. Yeah, Were 362 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: you thinking one hundred and twenty plus tackles for this guy? 363 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: No, I would not have guessed that. I'll be honest, 364 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: I knew Jesse Bates was a really good player. Obviously, 365 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: over the last few years, Cincinnati was a team that 366 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: was in the playoffs. They were always you know, you 367 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: seen him playing a lot on TV, so you knew 368 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: who Jesse Bates was. 369 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: But I would never have understood. 370 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: The impact that he would have made this season with 371 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: the numbers, the interceptions, the way he's all over the field, 372 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: just the way he commands himself in the locker room. Like, 373 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: those are things that I didn't know all the way 374 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: about Jesse Bates. And you know, you start the season 375 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: with those couple of pigs versus Bryce shown You're like, okay, cool, 376 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: Yeah he got it versus a rookie year. You know, 377 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: he threw it right to him and those are good plays. 378 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: But as a season progressed, this was who Jesse was. 379 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: This is who Jesse is, and we've seen him. 380 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 3: All year long. 381 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: I think anybody who turns on the tape, who watches 382 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: the Falcons defense play this year, you say, man number 383 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: three is all over the field. You see him in 384 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 2: the high hole, you see him down below, you see 385 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: him blitzing, you see him covering guys. This dude's been 386 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: everywhere and done everything for the defense. Has been the 387 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 2: ideal player you needed for your secondary coming into this season, 388 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: and definitely was an extreme high point. I think whatever 389 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 2: you know the Falcons Peyton wul Come here was well 390 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 2: worth it. And I'm glad that this guy would be 391 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: around for years to come. And the fact that he 392 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: has been such a tremendous value for this team on 393 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: the defense side of the ball has been fun to 394 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 2: watch this year. And if this dude's not all pro, 395 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what all pro looks like. 396 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with that. 397 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: Now. 398 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: Of the nine tackles for Kaden Nellis on Sunday, a 399 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: sack at his four sack on the year. And how 400 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: about Zach Harrison. The rookie seems to get better as 401 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: the season's gone long. We talked about three sacks in 402 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: his last two games going into the Chicago game. He 403 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: had a career high four tackles for the rookie from 404 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: Ohio State, and I guess he had a lot of 405 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: fun getting after his former teammates and justin fields, but 406 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: maybe not enough. We didn't get him enough on the ground. 407 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: Let's look forward now. Shock. Okay, we talked about playoff 408 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: picture and the fans probably aren't wanting to hear all this, 409 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: that and the other, but it's real. This is a 410 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: Tampa team that stumbled this weekend against New Orleans. That's 411 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: who Atlanta's got this weekend in New Orleans. That was 412 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: a New Orleans team that went to Tampa and beat 413 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks. Tampa's now got to go to Carolina, 414 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: a team they beat eight twenty one to eighteen just 415 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: three weeks ago in Tampa. Very close football game. It 416 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: was close late Tampa scored with about five minutes left 417 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: in the game, a very close game down the stretch. 418 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: Tampa held on to win the football game. So don't 419 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: think that even though Carolina got shut out last week 420 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Styles make fights, and 421 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: they fought pretty well against this Tampa team last time. 422 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: And now the key is Atlanta's got to go take 423 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: their business. But very clear cut, Tampa must lose to Carolina. 424 00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: Atlanta must go to the hated Saints and win. Mine's 425 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: for you as a player, knowing that that's kind of 426 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: the offing, can't really be looking over here, what's on 427 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: this screen. You got to take care of your own. 428 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 2: Business, which is hard. Which is hard because obviously you 429 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: know your fate depends upon somebody else. And I think 430 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 2: for the fast past few weeks you've understood that you 431 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: need other things around you to happen. 432 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 3: But also you got to take care of your own business. 433 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 2: Because you think about this past week, you know the 434 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 2: loss hurts you because hey, it takes all the wild 435 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 2: cart scenarios out of it in case, you know, Tampa 436 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 2: does go on to win and all this kind of stuff. 437 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: But I think going into this week, ultimately, if you 438 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: do not take care of your own business, nothing else matters. 439 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 3: Because if you go into this. 440 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: Ball game and you're so concerned with what's going on 441 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 2: down in Carolina and you don't execute what you're supposed 442 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 2: to do in New Orleans, well, guess what, it won't 443 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: matter because if you lose. At the end of the day, 444 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: they go down and lose, it won't matter because then 445 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 2: New Orleans takes it. Because it's one of those scenarios. 446 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: As a player, which every game you should have the 447 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: same mindset is you got to take care of what's 448 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: in front of you the here and now, because ultimately 449 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: you can't control what goes on anywhere else. And that's 450 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: one thing that I know, you know what are It's 451 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 2: always been ingrained in my head. You gotta take care 452 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 2: of the here now. You gotta make sure you're taking 453 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: care of the business that's in front of you right now, 454 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: because if not, then guess what, nothing else matters going forward. 455 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 2: So the mindset is simple, go do your job, win, 456 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: you're one on ones. And then also you got to 457 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 2: make sure your team is ready to go, because there's 458 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: no tomorrow, there's no second chances. 459 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 3: This is week seventeen. This is what you want. 460 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: You coming to the year saying, hey, if you got 461 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: a chance to go to the playoffs, win your last 462 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: ball game, would you take it? You say, absolutely, so 463 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: go handle your business in the Warleans because you don't 464 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: want you don't want the double ledge of you lose 465 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: the ball game and Tampa losers and the team that 466 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: you hate the most walks into the playoffs where you 467 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: have the opportunity. So that's absolutely what you do not want. 468 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, gonna take a peak human nature 469 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: to see what's going on down there, because that has 470 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 2: a big feel. But ultimately, you gotta do what you 471 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: gotta do and take care of your business first. 472 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's look at some of the specifics 473 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: Saints Falcons in New Orleans Sunday, one o'clock kick. This 474 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: was a game that Atlanta won just a few weeks 475 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: ago with twenty four to fifteen. Atlanta won the football game. Remember, 476 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: Jesse Bates got it all started. Bates had an interception 477 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: deep in Falcon territory, return to return to some ninety 478 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. Kind of kickstarted Atlanta. Atlanta ran 479 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: for two hundred and twenty plus yards in the game 480 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: by Jean Robinson. You got Tyler Aljier going now. The 481 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: turnover scenario was two and two. There was a couple 482 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: of turnovers for the Falcons, a couple of turnovers for 483 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: the Saints in the game. So is you kind of 484 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: digest what just happened to Atlanta? And I'm bringing up 485 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: what just happened DJ Moore, and then I'm gonna equate 486 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: that to remember Chris Olbby got off to a really 487 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: good start, yeah, and then got hurt. Remember you got 488 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: slammed on the sideline by Aj Terrell Atlanta. Aj wasn't 489 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: shadowing a Lave early on, and they switched him over 490 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: on him and then big tackle along the side on 491 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: Lava hit his head and was out of the game, 492 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: big loss for them in that football game. But knowing 493 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: what DJ Moore just did and how they schemed Atlanta 494 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: up Chris Olave and what he did early on in 495 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: this game, how much are we gonna see that copycat 496 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: thing out of this thing? 497 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 3: Oh, no doubt. I think you'll see tons of it. 498 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 2: When I was watching his ballgame, I thought Chicago tried 499 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: to try to with their game plan, with their where 500 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: with where they had him lined up. They got him 501 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: on our safeties a lot in the ballgame, and uh, 502 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: you know it's not ideal. We have your number one 503 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: receiver on you know, our safeties, which you know still 504 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: a good cover guys, But in those moments, Uh, those 505 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 2: are the players that were big in the ballgame. And 506 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: like you mentioned, Olive was having a big time ball 507 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: game already for he was taken out. Uh, DJ Moore 508 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 2: is a big time player. Gonna come in and have 509 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 2: that same kind of mindset. They're gonna look at hey 510 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: Bears found x Z to get their guy free. But 511 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: I think ultimately it comes down to what happened on 512 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: the other side of the ball for us in that ballgame. 513 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: I thought the Saints for remember of Saints for zero 514 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 2: to five in the red zone that ball game. You 515 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: gave up zero sacks in that ballgame to the Saints. 516 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: Protecting your quarterback was big. Bijon went sixteen for ninety 517 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: one in the game. Drake had five catches for ninety 518 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 2: one yards in the game, and you mentioned it, two 519 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight yards rushing the football. The Falcons 520 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: were really good on third down against the Saint Saints, 521 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: for only six or fourteen in the ballgame. So you 522 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: talk about some things that you did really well in 523 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 2: a ball gament, you can go back and look at 524 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 2: the tape and say, okay, what were some of the 525 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: things that were very successful for us? And obviously that 526 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: was you know, a few weeks back, they're gonna be 527 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: a different wrinkles coming into this ball game. But I 528 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: think ultimately that's what it comes down to. You can 529 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 2: protect your quarterback and you can limit their explosive plays, 530 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 2: which that's what they want to do. We know Derek 531 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: Carr is the guy who's throwing the football over the yard. 532 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: Went back and looked at his last three ball games, 533 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: eight touchdowns to only one interception. He completed seventy five 534 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 2: percent of his passes versus the Bucks with two tubs 535 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: and zero interceptions. So he's gonna come in feel the 536 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: good about himself. He understands at home it's a different animal. 537 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: We both played and been in New Orleans plenty of 538 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: times know with that environments like and they know exactly 539 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: what's on the line too. They're speaking the same thing 540 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: and they're building that. We're speaking here in Flowery Branch 541 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: that we got to give ourselves a chance to go 542 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 2: to the next level in the postseason, so we need 543 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: our best ball game. So it will be a battle 544 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: of possessions. I think in this ball game, I think 545 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 2: every possession will be critical. The players you make that 546 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: are there that you have to make, I think will 547 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 2: be crucial. You can't have the missed opportunities. And I 548 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 2: go back to the Chicago game. Yeah, the weather was 549 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 2: a big factor, but you know, we left some points 550 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 2: on the board. We missed a couple of field goals, 551 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 2: we left a couple of sacks on the board. I mean, 552 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: there were a couple of small things in the ball 553 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: game that led to us not ultimately coming out with 554 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: the w. So I think you got to go to 555 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: new walls and you got to make sure every possession counts. 556 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: Protect your quarterback and do what you've been doing, which 557 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: is run the football versus this unit and force those 558 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: guys like Tyn Matthew to come up and tackle you. 559 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: Now, listen, it's not lost on Shock and I we 560 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: know what you're thinking out there. We've been inconsistent at 561 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. I think that's the best way I 562 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: can say it, the nicest way I can say it. 563 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: Three interceptions this weekend. You're not gonna win a lot 564 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: of games when you throw the ball to the other 565 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: team three times. Now, whatever the circumstances are for the 566 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 1: ball in and up there, I'm responsible. As quarterbacks, we 567 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: throw it wherever it ends up, we're responsible for it. 568 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: Can't win that way. Got to have better consistency at 569 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Got to take care of the football. 570 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: Turnovers have to be minimized. We talked about there were 571 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: two and two in this game. Last time Atlanta had 572 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: the big one, the pick six by Jesse Bates. Can't 573 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: have anything like that happened. And then you got to, 574 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: as Shaq said, make the plays that are there. There 575 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: was a play in the game this weekend against Chicago 576 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: where Atlanta play action fakes. You got two front side routes, 577 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: and you've got Scotty Miller that works across the formation 578 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: and works down the sideline. He's wide open and we 579 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: missed him for whatever reason. Guy in your face, whatever 580 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: it is, you make that throw, it's a walk in touchdown. 581 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: Can't miss those in this game. If you want to 582 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: win this football game, shock a couple of you just 583 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: talked through kind of the way this game needs to go. 584 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: I think we just talked through kind of the keys there. 585 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: As far as turnovers, is always one of those scenarios. 586 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: Win the moments, third down, red zone moments. From a 587 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: defensive perspective, how do you regroup? I got a couple 588 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: of questions for a defensive perspective. This was not the 589 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: best game defensively, lost guys and coverage. There were a 590 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: number of moments where you didn't get the quarterback on 591 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: the ground. You said, how do you reboot the system here? 592 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: And what are you looking for from a group that's 593 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of veterans on that side of the ball. 594 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because I think this ball game is 595 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 2: a little different from what you just came from. And 596 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: for the majority of the season, this has been a 597 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 2: defense that has been really good. You've been able to 598 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 2: you've been a top fifteen ranked defense for majority of 599 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: this year, and you've played some really good football. I 600 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 2: think it comes down to what we just talked about, 601 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: limiting some of those big time plays. That's something that 602 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 2: you haven't you've given up from time to time yet 603 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: because team's gonna make their plays, but not as many 604 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,239 Speaker 2: as you did in the run and pass game. And 605 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 2: I think that ultimately was a big part of how 606 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: they were able to have sex. I mean, I have 607 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: success was because of how they came off the ball 608 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 2: and was running football against US. I know Khalil Herbert 609 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: had a couple of big runs in the ball game, 610 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: especially laying the ball game. And then you mentioned DJ 611 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: Moore the kind of things that he were doing for 612 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: me for this defense. It goes back to what have 613 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 2: we done all year loan to be able to have success, 614 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: and I think that's being able to disguise pre snap, 615 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: give some look of something different, and then pro snap 616 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: you do something totally. If I think you've done a 617 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: good job of mixing up your pressures, mixing up man 618 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 2: his own mixing up. If you're one of those guys 619 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 2: AJ Terrell say hey, the top receiver, I want to 620 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: go get Let's go get it. I've seen Aj be 621 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: that guy before and say let's force issues. And I 622 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 2: think the other part of it is when this defense 623 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: has really got atter, he is when they've created turn off, 624 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 2: they've forced the issue and forced the other quarterback into 625 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 2: uncomfortable situations. I remember of the Napolis Coacht game where 626 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: you harassed men, shoot, you got him off his spot. 627 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: Tons of times you did that versus justin fields. He 628 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: just was athletic enough at times to make plays and 629 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: get out of it. But I think in those games 630 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 2: where you're able to affect the quarterback, that's when his 631 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: defense has been at his best and you're in guys 632 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 2: hip pocket. You're playing confident on the back end. So 633 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: I think there's I mean, you look back at kayan Ellis, 634 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 2: you look back at what late Lambon has done this year, 635 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 2: two guys that have absolutely flourished in this defense this year. 636 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 2: You thought, what Troy Anderson went down, Hey that's a 637 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: big loss. Yeah, he's a big loss. But Nel Lamban 638 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: has stepped in and looks like he could possibly be 639 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 2: a pro bowler with the way he's played this year, 640 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: kayan Ellis there were times you saw him run down 641 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: justin fields a couple times in his ball game. Those 642 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 2: two guys have played a tremendous role in this game, 643 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: and you can't allow a guy like Camarow to be 644 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: the guy that beats you. We know Taysom Hill is 645 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: another guy who we've seen over the years, has had 646 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: three or four plays in a game to just say, 647 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: all right, those were big defining plays that gave them 648 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 2: an edge. You can't allow Taysom Hill to have those 649 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: kind of plays in a ball game as well as 650 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: have Derek Carr have a good game as well. So 651 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: you got to force their playmakers to be kind of 652 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: null and void, and you can't have all those guys 653 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: hitting on all similar So defensively, lock in on those keys, 654 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: man and make sure that you're in the position you're 655 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: supposed to be. 656 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: From a quarterback perspective, I can tell you throw three 657 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: three in a game before, not proud of that, but 658 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: you got to bounce back, and so you got to 659 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: a short memory, put the tape on, learn what you 660 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: can are there moments when I kind of drop the 661 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: ball off instead of throw the ball late a couple 662 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: of the interceptions were late throws down the field that 663 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: usually doesn't work out unless you're out of the pocket 664 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: somewhere and you're buying time. So learn from those moments 665 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: and flush that out of your system and be better 666 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: for your team because your team's counting on you and 667 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: you know that. So you flush that out and you 668 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: get ready for this one. Hey, it's Saints week, Taylor, 669 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: Heineken quota is saying, we know where we are right now. 670 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna focus on the Saints, go out and beat them, 671 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: and we're gonna root like hell. 672 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 3: For the Pathos. That's about all you can do. 673 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: It's Saints week, baby, and everything kind of gets flushed 674 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: out of your mind at that point, right. 675 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know Arsen, Well, last thing I gotta 676 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 2: ask for you, man, if your guy who's played in 677 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: this series tons of time and how impactful it can be, 678 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 2: does going to New Orleans and the emotion of that 679 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 2: ball game have any effect on you as a quarterback 680 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: being the same aggressive players you want to after what 681 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 2: just happened. 682 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 3: Let this past week. 683 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: Now we know Taylor has a you know has a 684 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: has a, has an ankle and all this kind of stuff, 685 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: and you know, it's all up in the air about who 686 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: plays all this kind of stuff, But regardless of whoever 687 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: is playing quarterback, this environment is different. And it's week seventeen. 688 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: You got everything on the line, and it kind of 689 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: goes back to the scenario we talked about when Taylor 690 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: took over after you know, the second time, when Dare's 691 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: you know what's put down and you said, Okay, if 692 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: I'm walking into this game, the number one thing that 693 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: I do not want to do is turn the football over. 694 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 2: Now you go into week seventeen, everything's on the line, 695 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 2: and how do you combat. Okay, I still got to 696 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: be aggressive and make plays for my team, but I 697 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 2: also do not want to hurt my team because this 698 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: is wain or go home pretty much. How do you 699 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: manage that emotion as well as playing in the game 700 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 2: to help your team be the best it can be 701 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 2: from your standpoint playing that position. 702 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: Well, you know as well as I do. You cannot 703 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: go into a game with negative mindset. I can't do this, 704 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,959 Speaker 1: I can't do that. I've got a flush whatever I 705 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: got last week out of my system. Learn from though, 706 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: what you did, and I can tell you it's a 707 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: fairly learning easy learning process. Two of the interceptions are 708 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: late throws. He just late throws it down the field 709 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: when I need to check the ball down or go 710 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: get something myself. And he did that a number of times. 711 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: Made the right decision, he made the wrong decision a 712 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: couple of times, and force it into coverage. Learn from 713 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: those moments and get ready for the next opportunity. But 714 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,479 Speaker 1: you got to go into the positive mindset because that 715 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: will make you hit the brake a little bit on us. 716 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: Throw inside if I'm not willing to trust your eyes. 717 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: We talked about this before here on Falcons Audible, where 718 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to trust your eyes, turn 719 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: it loose on time. If you're late, drop it off. 720 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: Let's work from that perspective, and I think you'll have 721 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: the right mindset for Saints Week.
