1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back into the Falcons Audible presented by 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: AT and T. We are back that shock. That's Arch 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: on rack. Just so you know, I usually tell Arch 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: to take his credentials off before the show, but we 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: could just leave him because it's just kind of like 6 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: it's just kind of part of the deal. I thought, 7 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: you know that he has access to the building. Okay, 8 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: you know that he's allowed to come in. Make sure 9 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't lose. 10 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 2: I had had a dog. I had to check for 11 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 2: a second. I thought you let want to lose, But 12 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: you just let your seat down. Heard some air come out. 13 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: I say, whoa starting. 14 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 3: To call down? All right, don't start. We keep it real. 15 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Well, let's keep a real shot and talk about out 16 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: its victory against a divisional opponent twenty six, twenty four 17 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: and uh, guys, another instant classic. I mean, I'm not 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: sure about you, guys, Arch on your pregame show leading 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: up to the game, DJ with some of your efforts. 20 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: But we talked about on the pregame show just the rivalry, 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: how tightly contested it was, and we talked about them, 22 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: just like what were some of your moments coming out 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: of the rivalry. But then it was like, we got 24 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: another one arch, we got another class Falcons Saints rivalry. 25 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: What did you think about this one? Just kind of 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: again big picture, then we'll kind of dive into the 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: details a little bit. 28 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it felt like the normal thing. I think when 29 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 4: all of us that we and we all had an 30 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 4: opportunity to be a part of the rivalry. From a 31 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 4: player perspective, you kind of expected. We talked about last 32 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 4: week what the rivalry is, an old college rivalry to 33 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 4: a certain extent, and two teams that got put in 34 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: the league, and hey, we'll shove you out west with 35 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 4: the forty nine ers and the Rams, and then we 36 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 4: finally get back here where we're supposed to be in 37 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 4: the NFC South. But it's two teams that I think 38 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 4: a lot have a lot of respect for one another, 39 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 4: two fan bases that can't stand one another. And as 40 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: it turns out, you you played it out that way. 41 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 4: I think that even well, yeah, even on the scoreboard, 42 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 4: I don't think they actually put. 43 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: The Saint name on the visitors Falcons Visitors. 44 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: That's just the. 45 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: Way it is, And as it turned out, the game 46 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 4: played out that way. But as far as play in 47 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 4: the game, I think there were a lot of good 48 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 4: things in the game that you could build on. Certainly, 49 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 4: it's a lot more fun to build on some of 50 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 4: the negatives and get some of the negatives out of 51 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 4: the way when you win the game. New Orleans is 52 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 4: on the other end of that, down to New Orleans 53 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 4: getting ready for their game this weekend. They've got to 54 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: travel out and take on Kansas City on Sunday night 55 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 4: coming up, so they got to lick their wounds pretty quickly. 56 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 4: So it is Atlanta with Tampa on Thursday night. But 57 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 4: I just thought it was a classic game of mistakes here, penalties, there, 58 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 4: a turnover, little things that happened in the game, and 59 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 4: do you play yourself in position late to have a 60 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: chance to win the game? 61 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: And that's dj one thing that we have been talking 62 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: about here on the podcast seemingly every week, as even 63 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: though there was a couple of games who came up 64 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: on the losing side, they've always had a chance to 65 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: win at the end. And that was the case again 66 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: in this one. And it looked a little dicey for 67 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: a while, but until a final drive and you know, 68 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: sometimes you don't really script it up right. You're thinking, okay, 69 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: maybe could put together another drive like you did at Philadelphia, right, Well, 70 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: weren't necessarily firing on all cylinders on the two minute drill, 71 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: but they get somewhat of a gift of a penalty, 72 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: which was huge. It happens, right, you take it where 73 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: you can get it. You ended up getting was a 74 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: thirty yard penalty. Pass interference penalty kind of helps out 75 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: the field position. We talked so much here DJ on 76 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: offense and defense, but can we talk a little bit 77 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: about special teams finally? I mean, we talk a little 78 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: special teams finally. 79 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: Me and me are just gonna sit back and let 80 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: you ride out of you know what I'm saying. 81 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: So but but no, it was it was great to 82 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: see kind of opening and closing the game with two 83 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: huge special teams plays. We end up punting punt gets 84 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: muffed down inside the five yard line. I don't know 85 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: why you're trying to catch the ball at that spot 86 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: on the field. I don't know why, but we'll take it. 87 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: And then Cadaryl Hodge, who's trying of turned into a 88 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: special teams Maven, if you will, just Johnny on the 89 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: spot ends up with the touchdown. And then of course, 90 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, ku was was good. You know, he's accurate. 91 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: You know he's like got ice in his VADs in 92 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: this situation. But we didn't know about career long but 93 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: it seems like it's part for the course in the 94 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: NFL this year, right, kickers are just kicking them from 95 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: longer than ever. What did you make of special teams 96 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: performance in this game? 97 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: First off, my man Cool longest and Mercedes Ben's history. 98 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: That's getting it done. 99 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: I love the quote that Rack, I mean that that 100 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 2: Ra had with Arch after the game. 101 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: It didn't matter. We was gonna end it with Cool 102 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: wherever it was gonna be at. 103 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: And that thing probably was good for sixty two to 104 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: sixty three if they let him go a little bit further. 105 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: But I think it's the ultimate where we talk about 106 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: all the time and it sounds so cliche, and we 107 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: talk about it all the time. People say, oh, it's 108 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: all you say, But it's the ultimate game of complimentary football. 109 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: It's the ultimate team game. And yeah, offense and defense 110 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: gets all the hype and they got, you know, all 111 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 2: the different guys you could talk about from week to week, 112 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: and we've talked about, you know, the new additions on 113 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: this side of the ball, on that side of the ball. 114 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, that third phase 115 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: all ways matters and. 116 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: It always, you know, fine a way to rears head 117 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: in the National Football League too, because of what you 118 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 2: just talked about was these. 119 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 3: Games usually come down to one possession. 120 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: It's usually come down to something that end up a 121 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: ball game, and you don't really think about that guy 122 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: who's got to kick it until it gets to that moment. 123 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: It's like, oh, we're getting field goal range, what's his range? 124 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: How many has he made today, how many has he 125 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 2: made this year? And then just start worrying about, oh, 126 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 2: what kind of kicker you got. But I think for 127 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know how many years it has 128 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: been now, whenever we got into that range, We've always 129 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: felt confident with our man, Coop. We've always felt confident 130 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: with the way he's played. But then give the other 131 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: guy's credit to I mean, the punt that pinion just 132 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 2: I mean absolutely drills. I mean he's looking up and 133 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: I think it's just coming down forever and he just 134 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: loses where he's at. I mean, that's that's a credit 135 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: to being you know, really efficient in the way you 136 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: go about your business. And then guys running down there 137 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: and you know, making sure because we talked about it 138 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: in training camp, how a lot of guys make this 139 00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: ball team. 140 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: It's through special teams. And I don't know why people 141 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: don't take it as serious, but a lot of. 142 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 2: Guys have had ten twelve thirteen year careers all playing 143 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: special teams. And we saw it on Sunday how exactly 144 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: special teams matters and how each part of that phase 145 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: gives you a chance to win ball games. Kuodonknocks through 146 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: four of them, a couple of them from fifty plus 147 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: opinions involved. We got guys doing all kinds of stuff, 148 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: So it was it was fun to see all three phases, 149 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: you know, have a part in the ballgame. And the 150 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: special team was the one that just happened to be 151 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 2: highlighted the most. 152 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: Out Young Waiku four for four on the day, field 153 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: goals forty two, forty four, fifty three, and of course 154 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: the game winner career long and Mercedes Benz Stadium record 155 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: fifty eight yarder to win the game. So that that 156 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: kind of a good wrap up of the special teams. 157 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: But our when we talk about defense and we talk 158 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: about picking off passes the majority of the time, especially 159 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: this year, We've been talking about the safeties, right, they're 160 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: they're penchant for picking off passes and the fact that 161 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: they've done it so often throughout their career, and at 162 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: some point this year it was gonna be somebody else, Right, 163 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: it was gonna be somebody else, And it just so 164 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: turns out as Troy Anderson. Not only does he get 165 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: a career high in tackles, but he gets a pick 166 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: six his first career interception, and his first career score 167 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: ends up being a touchdown as well, takes it forty 168 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: seven yards back for the score. What'd you make of 169 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: the way that he played in the game. 170 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was phenomenal sideline to sideline and something that 171 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: you've kind of been waiting for. He's such a tremendous athlete. 172 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 4: You go back and you look him up at Montana 173 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 4: State and how good an athlete he was. Played quarterback 174 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: one year, played running back one year, then shifted and 175 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: played linebacker, and he was the FCS player of the 176 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 4: Year at linebacker. So the guy's been good wherever they 177 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 4: put him. You were waiting for that moment. I've always 178 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 4: often thought about, you know, is this guy a red 179 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 4: zone guy you can use? Do you put him at 180 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 4: tailback and you know it, six foot two, two hundred 181 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 4: and forty four pounds and just toss him the football 182 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 4: and say, hey, keep this guy out of the inversion 183 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 4: of Taysom Hill or something right, exactly right, So you wondered, Okay, 184 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 4: at some point he's gonna end up with a ball 185 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 4: in his hands. He blocked a punt if you remember 186 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: Out and Out in La blocks a punt that Renzo's 187 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,559 Speaker 4: Carter scoops and scores. So you okay, when is Troy 188 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: potentially going to get the ball in his hands? Well, Matthew, 189 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 4: Judon gets good pressure off the edge and I thought 190 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: it was pretty cool because they try to influence bock, 191 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 4: meaning the offense you tackle steps back, try to encourage 192 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 4: Judah up the field and then slip out and get 193 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 4: into screen. Well, Judon's slow rushes, it doesn't go after 194 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: the quarterback. Quarterback wants him to come to him, but 195 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 4: he stops and now he's kind of shadow boxing. 196 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: And if you look at Derry Carry tries. 197 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 4: To drum sideway off to the side and Judah blocks 198 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 4: it with his elbow and it pops up in the air. 199 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: And of course, then Troy Anderson's ends up with it, 200 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 4: and then you get a chance to see the athleticism 201 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 4: what thunder coming downhill really looks like Chris. 202 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: Alabby wanted no part of that. 203 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 4: The goal line, they try to keep it out of 204 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 4: the end zone. So a pretty cool moment there. And 205 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 4: we talk all the time about making plays when you 206 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: have an opportunity to make a play, and yeah, offense 207 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 4: was you know good, he and then sputtered here and 208 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: make some plays when you up to Carderill Hodge shock 209 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 4: talked about that made the play when the ball was 210 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 4: on the ground, didn't go out of the end zone. 211 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: He got on it, made the play. This ball gets 212 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 4: bad in the air, Troy Anderson makes the play. So, 213 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 4: you know, again the ultimate and complimentary football. But it 214 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 4: was cool to see one of the really better athletes 215 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 4: on this team actually have the ball in his hand. 216 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, it was. 217 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: It was fun to watch him because throughout the course 218 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: of the game, I'm watching it. I just it seems 219 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: like every time we looked up, it was like Anderson tackle, 220 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: Anderson tackle. So then I went and I looked and 221 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: I was like, somewhere like beginning a third quarter, I 222 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: was like, dang, he got thirteen times already, Yeah, and 223 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you look down and it's like, oh, 224 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: this is a career high, you know. So he continued 225 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: to be productive. Obviously, it was a great moment to 226 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: get the interception for a touchdown. So we talked about 227 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: special teams, we talked about defense. Offensively, yes, sputtered a 228 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: little bit, did not score any touchdowns of the game, 229 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: still found a way to win because it's a three 230 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: phase game. One thing I thought was was positive is 231 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: the re emergence of time or else you now. And 232 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: not to say that it was an indictment on Bijon, 233 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: because we know how electric of a player he is, 234 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: but I think everybody kind of realized that, like, we 235 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: got to find a way to get out of here 236 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: the football a little bit more. Well, they made a 237 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: concerted effort to do that. In the game finishes with 238 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: sixty yards on the ground eighty total, ends up with 239 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: another reception as well. I feel like he brings another 240 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: element of attitude, another element of excitement into the game. 241 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: It just seems like the home crowd feeds off of 242 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: him when he gets the ball and he runs somebody over. 243 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: I'm watching the game and watching that third quarter happen 244 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: and watching him and three things came to mind to me. 245 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: He was physical, he was decisive, and he was powerful. 246 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: You're talking about running through guys. I mean as a 247 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: quarterback to drop the football down on third and eight 248 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 2: and he catches it and he's five six yards away 249 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: from the first down. You're like, okay, just not trying 250 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: to do anything to hurt our team. Let's put it 251 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 2: on the punters foot and you know we'll live to 252 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: play another down. And you check it down and this 253 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: man runs through four or five different guys and oh yeah, 254 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: my man said, oh you see why probably want he 255 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 2: was hurt after that particular lot. Taylor nightmares about Tyler 256 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: hold On bro I need I need it, I need it, 257 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: I need a twenty. 258 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 3: It was. 259 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: It was fun to watch him run, man. And when 260 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: you watch him run, you know, as big as powerful 261 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: as he is, he's very decisive and yeah, we go 262 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: stret zone. But once he sees that whole oh, it's 263 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: foot in the ground, it's verticals north and south. 264 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: And if you in front of me, I hope you 265 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: got your chips. 266 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: You got to make a business decision because he don't. 267 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 2: Bring it, and you love just like you mentioned, the attitude, 268 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: the energy that he brought and a guy who is 269 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: completely unselfish. You look at they bring in b Jo 270 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: Robinson and obviously he's the feature and focal guy, and 271 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: not a lot of guys can sit back and wait 272 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: their turn and it's. 273 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 3: Like, where's he Ben, where's he been? 274 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: But every time the guy steps on the field, the 275 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: guy produces, And that's the ultimate professional. That's the ultimate 276 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: pro being ready for your moment, and we are you 277 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: just missing guys making those moments big and making them 278 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: when it happens. Tyler Jery that was his moment when 279 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: the team needed a little spark on offense. He needed 280 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: somebody to kind of rejuvenate and get us going, and 281 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: he was that guy. 282 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: So man, a big shout out. 283 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: To the Tyler for the way he ran, the way 284 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: he goes about his business, and you know, weekend in 285 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 2: a week out, he's one of those guys that you 286 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: can depend on. 287 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: The opposition continues to underestimate what he can bring to 288 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 4: the table. Now, I think that anybody that's watched tape 289 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 4: on him and his career high was against New Orleans 290 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 4: in the last game of the year last year, So 291 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 4: you think New Orleans have a pretty good idea that 292 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: this guy can bring the noise, and he brought that 293 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 4: physicality that shocks. Talking about I think run the reception. 294 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 4: I think I saw Dennis Allen hold it on the 295 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: offensive the head coach at some point trying to get 296 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: that big guy on the ground. But the thing that 297 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 4: continues to amaze me is his ability. And I talked 298 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 4: about this here a couple of weeks ago. As much 299 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: as we talk about thunder and lightning, he's got some 300 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: lightning in him too. And when he gets when he 301 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 4: bounced the wide zone play to the outside and ran 302 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 4: around the corner a Deebo, Paulson, Paulson and Debo came 303 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: up to try to make the play, he ran around him, 304 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 4: and that's the corner out there. I think he shocks 305 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: people with his short area of quickness and then his burst. 306 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 4: And part of that is how he finishes runs on 307 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: those physical runs. But the art of part of it 308 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: is when he gets to the edge, you better see 309 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 4: the edge because he's going to take it and he's 310 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: going to go down the sideline, so very accomplished running back. 311 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 4: He's a guy that we got to continue to get 312 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 4: the football too, not to the expense of Bijon, but somehow, 313 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 4: at some point you probably gin to look at it 314 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 4: at Zach maybe expanding the packages where those two are 315 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: in the game at the same time. 316 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and why not, because that's kind of the quandary 317 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: that I think about guys, and I, you know, sometimes 318 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: I try to put myself a little bit in the 319 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: shoes of a play caller, not that I want those shoes, 320 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: but juggling those two guys, like how do you effectively 321 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: get the right amount of touches? Because I could make 322 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: the argument fellas that Bejon Robinson should touch the ball 323 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: twenty times again, Okay, I could make that easy argument, 324 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: and then we see Tyler Algier and you could say, well, gosh, 325 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: he needs probably eight to ten. 326 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 3: Touches a game, right, maybe more than that. 327 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: Now you're looking at thirty plus touches between two guys, 328 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts hasn't touched the game, but touch the 329 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: ball yet. Drake London hasn't touched the ball yet. Darnell 330 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: Mooney hasn't touched the ball yet. So this is kind 331 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: of the quandary you get put in at the end 332 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: of the day. To your point, you got to be 333 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: unselfish because we're just trying to win football games. But 334 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: how do you get your playmakers the ball to win 335 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: those football games? Not saying that I got the answer, 336 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: but these are some of the things that play callers 337 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: have to kind of toss with in their minds as 338 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: far as how are we going to beat the next opponent, 339 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: how are we going to get the ball into the 340 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: hands of the guys that can help us score points? 341 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: And then try to make sure everybody's happy. Not that 342 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: you're here to make sure people are happy, but Drake 343 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: London needs to touch the ball too. 344 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: And I you know what, I think this is for fans. 345 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: I think a good point too, because everybody's wondering, Okay, 346 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: where is this offense going to explode? When is it 347 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 2: going to look like what everybody's talked about? And I 348 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 2: think for Zach Robinson, for this entire offense, just still 349 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: figuring that out. It's still a young season. You've still 350 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: got a lot of guys who are coming into new 351 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: roles on his offense, and you're trying to figure out 352 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: the best way to do that. 353 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 3: And you say, hey, I don't want to be in 354 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 3: his shoes because that's a tough thing to do. 355 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: We just we just went off seven eight guys that 356 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: you want to get the football to who can help 357 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: you win ball games. How to do that? That is 358 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: a tough job to do. Now they're figuring it out. 359 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: They're trying to Yeah, of course they're trying to do 360 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: the best they can, but just know that it's not easy. 361 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 362 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: Well, and then when you begin to expand what Shock's 363 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 4: talking about from a quarterback perspective, I'm sure Kirk Cousins 364 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 4: or whoever you know, Michael Pennix, whoever is the quarterback 365 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 4: at the time, steps in. I know I did. I 366 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 4: went and sat down with the offensive coordinator and we 367 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 4: talk about, okay, like this, I like that, Well, they 368 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: haven't really executed enough stuff on the field yet to 369 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: know what they maybe like a lot more than something else. 370 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: So to a certain extent, the games are a little 371 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 4: bit of a test case as to what they're doing. 372 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 4: And plus they're also feeling out the idio secrecies. I 373 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 4: talked a little bit about this, the hints and things 374 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: that you see. Different guys do things differently. For me, 375 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 4: I remember Billy White Shoes Johnson had a different wiggle 376 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 4: at the top of his route than Charlie Brown did. 377 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 4: And that's the same thing with Drake Lennon. He's a 378 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 4: big body guy. He's different than Raray McLoud is, and 379 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 4: so to be able to see those hints and stuff 380 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 4: as you drop read coverage and then all of a sudden, 381 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: I rotate my eyes and I want to anticipate throw. 382 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 4: I know there's little things, little hints that are going 383 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 4: to allow me to turn it loose earlier, and those 384 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 4: are all things that they're still working through to try 385 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 4: to get done. The beauty of it is, you've had 386 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 4: a chance, a shack said, to win all four games. 387 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 4: You've won two of them, and you haven't really even 388 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 4: hit your stride yet as far as the offense goes. 389 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's disturbing that you're not operating on all cylinders. 390 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 4: You played a quarter of the season to a certain extent, 391 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 4: but it's growing. You can see it coming. You could 392 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 4: see guys making you can see all of a sudden 393 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 4: some of those things starting to come together. 394 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 3: Now it has to. 395 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 4: Happen pretty quickly. Maybe needs to happen Thursday night, certainly 396 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 4: against an offense that we're going to talk about in Tampa. 397 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 4: That's operating pretty well. But I love the direction it's 398 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 4: going and defensively, real quickly right to get back to Deva. 399 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 4: How about the physicality of the of the little guys. Yeah, 400 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 4: I mean Mike Hughes, you do not want to make 401 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 4: a play over his side the field. He's gonna come 402 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 4: up tattoo you, aj Terrell, all those How about the 403 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 4: Afford coming off the slot to get a sack. 404 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 3: I mean those guys. 405 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 4: You could put all those guys in your pocket. I 406 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 4: mean as how big there, but they're willing to hit you. 407 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 4: And it establishes an attitude as to, hey, get ready, 408 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 4: you better squeeze the football because they're gonna get we 409 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 4: get tattooed. 410 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have to get ready and turn 411 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: the page because we got to do it on a 412 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: short week. As you mentioned, Arch, one thing that kind 413 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: of stuck out to me, guys, Arch you mentioned where 414 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: we're kind through of the quarter of the season. Right before, 415 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: when it was a sixteen game season, we could always 416 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: divide it up in quarters. Right now at seventeen, it's 417 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: a little bit different. It's kind of just before the 418 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: quarter or just after the quarter. How do you want 419 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: to look at it. But I look back, guys, and 420 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: now that we're finished through week four, you have two 421 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: teams in the league, two teams that's it, that are 422 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: four and oh okay. You have seven more teams that 423 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: are three and one okay, So you have nine teams 424 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: in the entire NFL that are above five hundred. That's 425 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: just was very interesting to me when I went back 426 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: and I looked at all the standings. So we're going 427 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: to face one of those teams this week on a 428 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: short week. That is three and one in Tampa Bay Bucks. 429 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: We know a lot about them, playing twice a year 430 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: every year DJ their offense has gotten off to a 431 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: pretty good start. I think you look at the playmakers. Obviously, 432 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: Mike Evans is a guy that sticks out season. Probably 433 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: got off to a little bit of a slow start, 434 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: but that changed this past week. They made a concerted 435 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: effort to get the football in his hands. 436 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it. 437 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: You've got two guys and got one and Mike Evans 438 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: who averaging close to twelve yards of catch. And you 439 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 2: know the guy that Mike Evans is, The guy's a 440 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: walking one thousand yard receiver. I mean, done it every year. 441 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: He's been in that National Football League. And you couple 442 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: that with a quarterback that's playing with confidence in Baker Mayfield. 443 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: And Baker has said, and he's been on records saying 444 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: he is probably the most confident he's been since he's 445 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 2: been in the National Football League. And that's where he 446 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 2: sits at right now. And you got another year within 447 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: this system. You got guys around you who you know 448 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: you can depend on. This is an offense that right 449 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 2: now is scoring about twenty five points a game. 450 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 3: They love to get after you. 451 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 2: They're gonna throw it all over the yard, and you 452 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 2: got a quarterback that can move and can create as well. 453 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 2: We've seen a couple of those this season already. So 454 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: that's gonna be a point of basically as well. Is hey, 455 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 2: when Baker gets outsied, he's a guy that take off 456 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: on you too. But also he wants to make the 457 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 2: big play. He wants to throw the football down the field. 458 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: He will test you when you talk about stretching the 459 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: field vertically. 460 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 3: And he's one of those guys. 461 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 2: They've been really good on third down now, I mean 462 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 2: around forty two percent right now on third down. Baker's 463 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 2: taking care of the football complete seventy percent of his passes, 464 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 2: eight touchdowns to interceptions. He got a couple of rushing touchdowns. 465 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: They've got kapped them a few times, they've been sacked 466 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: a few times. That may be you know a little 467 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: bit of Hey, Baker likes to scramble around, and you 468 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: know he'll take some timely sacks here and there. But 469 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: still this is an offense that will absolutely give. As 470 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: we know over the years, has you know, forced the 471 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: Falcons to you know, you have to play top down 472 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: because they're gonna get after you. They're gonna go they're 473 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: gonna throw it vertically and we'll see which Baker may 474 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: feel we actually get because you know, we've seen a 475 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: couple of different Bakers over the years. But right now 476 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: looks like he's in a good groove and he understands 477 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 2: exactly what they want to do as an offense. 478 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and to your point, I mean, for the opposing team, 479 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: it's not the greatest thing when you hear that your 480 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: quarterback is playing with the most confidence maybe that he 481 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: ever has. If you're on his team, you love it. 482 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: One thing that might be working in the falcons favor 483 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: is the fact that they have not ran the football 484 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: great this year, arch already probably giving the predominant of 485 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: their carries to Rashad White, but that's kind of shifted 486 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: to their rookie Bucky Irving over the last couple of weeks. 487 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: Neither of them, though, has really controlled the pace of 488 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: the game at the line of scrimmage. But then again, 489 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: you got a quarterback that's feeling it throwing the football, 490 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: So to me, it's one of those games, is okay, 491 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: we got to make sure that we don't let them 492 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: end up getting their running game on check. But then 493 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: you know that they're going to put the ball in 494 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: the air probably forty to fifty times with Baker Mayfield. 495 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: Well, and we know that from a copycat league standpoint, 496 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 4: they're seeing that Atlanta has given up some run game 497 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: in between the tackles, So they're going to test that 498 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 4: area to say, hey, have you got that fix or 499 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 4: are we going to be able to use that from 500 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 4: a play action stampoint. Get the run game going a 501 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 4: little bit, get your linebackers coming downfield, and now I've 502 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 4: got Godwin and I've got Evans one on one in 503 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 4: the back of Kadot and excellent tight ends developed into 504 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 4: a really good player Rashad White's a good receiver by 505 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 4: the back. As his book at Bucky Irving. Bucky Irving 506 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 4: a little bit more shifty, a little bit more make 507 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 4: you missing space type, Guy Evans, a little bit more 508 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 4: of the banger, if you will. In their run game, 509 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 4: but they haven't been able to run the football very 510 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 4: well guys for a last several seasons, even when Brady 511 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 4: was the quarterback there, and they've they've gone through several 512 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 4: offensive coordinators kind of kept the same philosophy. They want 513 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 4: to throw the football, and Baker's playing at the highest 514 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 4: possible level. Now, if you're going to look at a tape, 515 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 4: go look at the Denver tape, because Denver got after Yes, 516 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 4: Denver gave limited them to seven points at home, beat 517 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 4: them soundly. They sacked Bakers seven times in that game. 518 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 4: They've given up fifteen sacks in their first four games. 519 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 4: You don't have to do the math. I mean, that's 520 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 4: just short of the quarter pole, but that's almost four 521 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 4: sacks a game. Maybe this is the week where Atlanta 522 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 4: starts to get some of that to get to the quarterback. 523 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 4: But Atlanta from a defensive standpoint has been pretty consistent. 524 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 4: They're playing cover four they're playing quarter quarter half, they're 525 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: playing two high. Safety is a great deal and that 526 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 4: lends itself to run a little bit. And so I 527 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 4: think it'll be interesting to see what Jimmy Lake does 528 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 4: us to some of that. How much do you bring 529 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 4: linebacker dog? You don't necessarily want to get caught with 530 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 4: a lack of you know, second level defenders against this 531 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 4: passing game. So be interesting to see what the game 532 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 4: plan is and how much can you change. Guys, how 533 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 4: much do you think you can change from a Sunday 534 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: game to a Thursday game. First game plan goes such 535 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 4: a short week. 536 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's like you go out on the field 537 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: a couple of times, you might be doing walkthroughs. You 538 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: might get up to about seventy five percent for sure, 539 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: but but you got to feel really confident DJ about 540 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: your game plan because you're turning around quickly. 541 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, Dad, I think that's one thing you actually 542 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: like about it. It Usually you get these games later 543 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 2: in the season where you've playing a team already and 544 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: you know what it's like to be you know, individual, 545 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 2: know what you're going to get, and the game plan 546 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 2: is simplified and it's probably what you want, especially on 547 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 2: the offensive side, you want to be simplified or you're 548 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: not putting in a lot of different wrinkles. And it 549 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: happens on the other side too for them, they don't 550 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: want to go out there. 551 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 3: All right. 552 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 2: We put in a brand new defense and we haven't 553 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: really wrapped it because we've been going through walkthroughs, so 554 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 2: we haven't seen it full speed. So don't expect to 555 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 2: see all the glitz and glamor they're gonna be a 556 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: couple of new wrinkles are sure for both teams. But 557 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 2: the other thing I wanted to mention was the Falcons 558 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: have to be good when you're talking about tackling because 559 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 2: this is a team. And think about Chris God He's 560 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 2: got three hundred and thirty two yards one hundred and 561 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 2: eighty eight. 562 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: He has yards after catch. You're talking about. 563 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 2: Making plays after he catches the football. Cheat White's the 564 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: same way. Another guy who just mentioned out of the 565 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: backfield who can make plays in space. And when you 566 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 2: play a lot of coverage, guess what it's gonna be 567 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: zones And when it got catched the football, you got 568 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: to make sure you better get him on the ground 569 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 2: and not to allow him to have more than the 570 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: whatever catch he has. 571 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: I was, I'm gonna be calling this game for national radio, 572 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: so I've already kind of dove into my preparation too. 573 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: And Arch, I wanted to ask you, since you've seen 574 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: so much of Bucks Falcons over the years, I've seen 575 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: a lot of things about Levante David and how the 576 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: players are just raving about this guy. They say Superman 577 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: looked at some of the st I think he's averaged 578 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: like one hundred and twenty three tackles of season since 579 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: back when he came into the league. How he continues 580 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: to operate at such a high level even later on 581 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: in his years at such a physical position reminds me 582 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of a guy named Derek Brooks, where 583 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: he's probably probably right behind Derek Brooks and all the 584 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: major tackling categories for the Bucks franchise. But what have 585 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: you seen from him over the years and the challenges 586 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: that he presents. 587 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a killer when it comes to you just 588 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 4: trying to get him blocked. You look at his numbers 589 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 4: just against the Falcons. He's got over one hundred tackles 590 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 4: for loss just against the Falcons in his career. Now, 591 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 4: he's played a number of games. He's thirty four years 592 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: old and he's played probably thirty some odd games against 593 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons, but he averages about two or three 594 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: tackles for loss. Poor game last weekend against Philadelphia eight tackles, 595 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 4: had two sacks. That's not necessarily something you equate with 596 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 4: Levonte David his sacks. But he had two sacks against 597 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts last weekend when they really snuffed out Phillies offense. 598 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 4: So the guy still playing at a high level, takes 599 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 4: care of himself, does all the things he needs to do. 600 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 4: But I think that when you start thinking about heartbeat 601 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 4: of a team, Levante David is that guy. And he's 602 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 4: a guy certainly you gotta account for now. I don't 603 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: think he's one of these kind of guys racked that 604 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 4: you're thinking, Okay, wow, that guy's coming off the edge. 605 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 4: We need to find him, get him blocked. It's not 606 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 4: that kind of deal. He's just a guy that's an 607 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 4: active dude that gets into plays. 608 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean it just always finds the ball. 609 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's always around the ball. 610 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 4: Good way to say it. He finds the football and 611 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 4: gets the football. They've got a different cast of characters. 612 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 4: One guy that's not different is Videvea, the interior defensive tackle. 613 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 4: He's been a problem for Atlanta in the past and 614 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 4: now it's it's six foot three three and forty five pounds. 615 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 4: He's been a problem for a lot of card so 616 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,959 Speaker 4: but there are different, different cast of characters. They have 617 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 4: not sacked the quarterback at the level and I've got 618 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 4: to find some wood to knock on here. They have 619 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 4: not sacked the quarterback at the level they had with 620 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 4: Shaq Barrett was there and some of the other guys 621 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 4: that were coming off the edge. They're still trying to 622 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: kind of figure that out. You know, Joe Tryan Shorinka 623 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 4: is maybe their best pass rusher off the edge. He's 624 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 4: a guy that has of Washington about his third year 625 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 4: in the league. But they got eight sacks through four games, 626 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 4: and that's not a bad number, but it's not to 627 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 4: the level that they normally are at. So you know, 628 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 4: when I look at their numbers racking, you probably saw this. 629 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 4: I mean, their defense is kind of doing similar to 630 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 4: what Atlanta's defense is doing. They're kind of bending and 631 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 4: bending and not allowing you in the end zone, which 632 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: is what Atlanta's done. A really good job. But what 633 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 4: Shack said, they have been put points on the board. 634 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 4: Other than the Denver game. You're going to need to 635 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: score some points in this game. 636 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: So, guys, I want to ask you about matchups and 637 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: where you, guys, feel like there it might be a challenge, 638 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: and where you might feel like Atlanta has opportunities in 639 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: this game. DJ and this could be player, this could 640 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: be position, group, this could just be strictly offense defense. 641 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: But let's start with Let's start with matchups that you 642 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: like in Atlanta's favor in this game, ones that they 643 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: need to take advantage of to have success against Tampa Bay. 644 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: I think Tampa right now is allowing about five six 645 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: yards of carrying this ballgame five six yards a rush. 646 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: I think this is a game where you can get 647 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 2: back on track in the run game, and I think 648 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: you want to be able to do it. Arch just 649 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: mentioned a big physical guy front of Vava. Obviously, you 650 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 2: got to get him blocked, that's number one priority. But 651 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 2: we've seen guys who are game wrecords and you find 652 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: ways around it. And I think this is a game 653 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 2: where you get back to creating that run element of 654 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: your offense where he comes to play action he comes 655 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 2: to boots and everything else starts with that. And I 656 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: think that's been part of the reason the last couple 657 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 2: of games, why offensive you haven't looked as fluid as 658 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: you would like because not being able to get the 659 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: run game going. So I think this is a game 660 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 2: where it kind of gives you an opportunity to be 661 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: able to get the run game going, and like, hey, 662 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: you can get v to bayl block, you can get 663 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 2: Levonte blocked, and you got a chance. And I think 664 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: this is a good enough offense to be able to 665 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 2: do that up front. So I think the run game 666 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: is a big test in this ball and can you 667 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: get that going and give yourself another dimension of the 668 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 2: offense that helps you and helps your quarterback to have 669 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: more success and sustaining drive. And we've talked about the 670 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 2: third down problems that we've had over the last few games. 671 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: First three ball games only had two conversions on third down. 672 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: Last week we had four. So it all goes back 673 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: to success on those early downs. 674 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 3: Can you run the. 675 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 2: Football good enough to help yourself on third down? So 676 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: hopefully this is a game when you get that going. 677 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, run defense hadn't been too great for Atlanta, but 678 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, not great either for Tampa allowing one 679 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one and a half yards per game. 680 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: What's a matchup that you like that one that potentially 681 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: favors Atlanta in this game that they need to try 682 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: to take advantage of. 683 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 4: Well, can you guys talked about and shock You mentioned 684 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 4: Baker wants to shove the ball down the field, and 685 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 4: I'm interested in that. Will he be willing to do 686 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 4: what we've seen the last two weeks. We saw a 687 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 4: guy that likes to push the ball down the field 688 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 4: and Patrick mahomes what you gave him. Derek Carr wants 689 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 4: to shove the ball down the field, but he did 690 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 4: a really good job of kind of taking what Atlanta's 691 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 4: given him. How much does Baker take Solas in those 692 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 4: two tapes and do the same thing, drop the ball off. 693 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 4: I tend to think that the back end he's going 694 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 4: to be encouraged and taking. He wants to take shots 695 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 4: to Evans. He got Evans going last week you talked 696 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 4: about he wants to take shots down the pipe to Godwin. 697 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 4: I think the secondary again, even though that's one of 698 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 4: their strengths, Evans and Godwin and Shepherd, the new third 699 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 4: receiver there ought in the tight end. I really think 700 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 4: we match up really well there. I like the matchup. 701 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 4: I think that Aj is aj going to draw Evans 702 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 4: probably based on what we did this last weekend. AJ shadowed, 703 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 4: he was shadowing, we shadow in Rashid Rashid Dhed and 704 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 4: so AJ's probably going to shadow somebody and I would 705 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 4: imagine it's it's Mike Evans. So those matchups are going 706 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 4: to be interesting. But I do like our back end 707 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 4: secondary wise, I think our linebackers, the way they run, 708 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 4: I think they're going to be able to get after 709 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 4: the two backs. So as much as that's kind of 710 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 4: the strength of who Tampa is right now their offense, 711 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 4: I think our defense matches up pretty well. Again. 712 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: I want to throw this question out to you guys, 713 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: because I think you make a great point in the 714 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: fact that some of these quarterbacks kind of takeing what 715 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: they're giving him right, looks like things are covered up downfield, 716 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: they're just dropping into the check down. In your guys' experience, 717 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: how often did you ever have a safety tandem like 718 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: Atlanta has where it's maybe made you think twice about 719 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: taking those skinny posts down the middle of the field. 720 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: Because you know how much experience and how successful guys 721 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: like Simmons and Baits have been as far as picking 722 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: off the like do you think that has anything to 723 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: do with it, DJ the fact that they haven't taken 724 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: as many shots down the middle of the field because 725 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: of the ballhawking safeties back there for Atlanta for sure. 726 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 3: I mean you got two of them. Usually you got 727 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: one usually got or. 728 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 2: One corner that you're like, Okay, I got to know 729 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: where this guy is because this guy is an aggressive guy. 730 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: Oh you got a safety who like last year we 731 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: had in you know, in Jesse, who can cover, has 732 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 2: a lot of range, and you got to find out 733 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 2: where he is. Now you got two of them back there. 734 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: Now I got to worry about two guys or where's 735 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: one hat or you know even as ones down in 736 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: the box, how savvy they can be. It absolutely plays 737 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 2: into your mind as a quarterback on where these guys 738 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 2: are and their ability maayle to find the football. And 739 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 2: I guarantee you when any team starts their scouting report 740 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 2: and they start talking about this Falcons defense, you talk 741 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: about those two safeties. They're a big part of the 742 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 2: conversation of you gotta know what these guys are. The 743 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 2: guys love to get the football out. Think about when 744 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 2: we when we played New Orle The first thing we 745 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: talked about freaking honey Badger because he will go find 746 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: the football. 747 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 3: And you know you got one guy. 748 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 2: Ye, now you got two guys, and both those guys 749 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: who are really talented players, very smart players, very very 750 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 2: good IQ when you comes to you know, reading the 751 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 2: quarterback and all that kind of stuff absolutely plays a 752 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 2: part in a quarterbacks decision matan. 753 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 4: Well, the other piece of it is is they'll cheat. 754 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 4: And so if you get a natural look, you say, okay, 755 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 4: it's cover two. 756 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 3: Got a half hat. 757 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 4: Uh uh, They'll show you half look at all of 758 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 4: a sudden, somebody teal cheat into the robber position even 759 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 4: though he's given up maybe the place he's supposed to 760 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 4: be because of their experience, and you look up. These 761 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 4: two guys have fifty one career interceptions. 762 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 3: That's why. 763 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: Now, Patrick Mahomes tried to take a shot down the 764 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: middle of field against the Chiefs and Simmons said, no, no, no, 765 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: let me get that really all right before we go, 766 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: before we go shock, I want you to give me 767 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: one one key to the game.

Rack. 795 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 4: I had a chance to go to the evening with 796 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 4: Matt Ryan, which was on a Monday night down at 797 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 4: the Bucket Theater.

Harry 800 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 4: Douglas shout out to Harry Douglas, former wide receiver here 801 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 4: came in the same draft class as Matt and O eight. 802 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 4: He was the MC of the event and they walked 803 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 4: through Matt's career. It's an unbelievable visit to go back 804 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 4: and think about where this guy came from. From a 805 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 4: little tiny high school that had four hundred kids, did 806 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 4: it just outside Philadelphia to becoming arguably, and I don't 807 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 4: think it's an argument.
