Speaker 2: He got that. He's into it. I'm talking about he

Speaker 2: is like lit because I want.

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: To start break. Yeah. I can get chills a little

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: bit thinking about what these two guys can do.

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Gentlemen and ladies of.

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: Falcon's audible is back presented by.

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: An AT and C just before we came on the air.

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: So everybody knows Shack is having phone issues. Right, You've

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: got a rehistoric iPhone six that is still in production.

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: Bro, mys and ms don't work. Is crazy, Like, I

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 4: try to hit the M and a return it. Adropted it.

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: Hey, they call.

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: Him he's a tech upgrade pro Max.

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: Give me right, all right.

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Falcons come up short to the Patriots on the

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Road twenty four, twenty three. A lot of things to

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: talk about here, fellas frustrating least, there's there's not too

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: many times, guys, as players, that we sat down in

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: meetings and we try to find the good out of

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: a loss. Right like you go when you watch the tape,

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: you're upset. These weeks are difficult in the building, doesn't

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Nobody really wants to have long drawn out conversations. You

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: walk past coaches and front office people in the hallway

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: and the conversations are short. This is how things happen,

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: not only when you lose a game, when you've losed,

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: when you've lost a few of them in a row.

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: So let's kind of revisit the keys. You guys remember

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: last week that we kind of finished the show with

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: all of us giving a key, and I think we

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: threw another one in there. Okay, shock, did you have

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: secondary plays? Well, wasn't that yours?

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Yes, sir?

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: How would you assess that key from last Sunday?

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: Uh ah?

43
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 4: We given a lot of grades? Are we just you know,

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: just however you want to grade it? Well, it could

45
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: just be a conversation. I think there were I think

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 4: there were I think there were times where, uh, the

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: secondary play well, then there's other times where you look

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: up and you got guys running open, you got guys

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 4: who are creating plays. Obviously Douglas made a bunch of

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 4: big plays in his ball game.

51
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: Never heard of him, never.

52
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: Heard of him. Made plays, but unbelievable, Yeah, we overt overroutes.

53
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. This guy is the king over out.

54
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: Stefan Diggs obviously catches a little little stop route and

56
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: turns it into a touchdown. Obviously that's got to do

57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: with tackling and all that kind of stuff. Uh, tight

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: ends played pretty good in that ball game. A guy

59
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: we know in Austin Hooper had a couple of catches

60
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 4: in the game.

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Obviously.

62
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: You know, overall, I think you look towards the second

63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: half where you had a little bit more success. I

64
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: think first half was obviously not indicative of what you

65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: wanted a ball game. And you know, Drake may was,

66
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: you know, having a good day throwing the football to

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: start the game. But to only give up three points

68
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: in the second half, give yourself an opportunity turn them

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: over twice. H. Jesse Base finally gets his ball, gets

70
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: his hands on one. H. That's a positive. But you know, overall,

71
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: it wasn't enough to be honest, You played I thought

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: decent enough, but not well enough to say to be

73
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: a key to go win the ball.

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: So if we were giving letter grades, if I'm reading

75
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: through the tea leaves, that sounds like a B minus

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: C plus, would that be fair?

77
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: I think that's a good G.

78
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: That's about all right.

79
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: They're good grade.

80
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, Sometimes you're right on a curve a little bit.

81
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: So I'm with that. Cools on the curve.

82
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: Arch. You had value on offense, right value on offense.

83
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: No wasted plays, didn't get that, didn't get to get that.

84
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: You were brutal in conversion situations. Atlanta now in the

85
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: last three games converting at about twenty seven.

86
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: Percent time on third down.

87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: But what it does Rack, and we talked about this

88
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: last week, is that when you're inefficient on offense and

89
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: give credit when you got in the red zone, were

90
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: presented red zone opportunities. You know, a lot of that

91
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 3: was manifested by the defense. Certainly the play by Walker

92
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: and Pierce gets it to the five or whatever and

93
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: you punch it in. You did some good things in

94
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: the red zone. You had three deep red zone penetration

95
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: he scored all three times. Now, God bless Drake London,

96
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: because you're throwing the ball to a guy that's the

97
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty monster in this place. So he goes

98
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: and gets the ball. But twenty five plays in the

99
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: first half on offense, you only ran three plays on

100
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: offense in the third quarter. I don't know if anybody

101
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: realizes that. Then all of a sudden it flipped and

102
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: the efficiency with which you need to operate offensively came

103
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: to life. Not that you converted on third down. You

104
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: were converting first downs on second down, and sometimes on

105
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: first down you stay away from third down. But you

106
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: ran twenty seven plays in the fourth quarter to eleven

107
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: plays for New England, and all of a sudden, you

108
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: look up, what happened? You climb right back in the game,

109
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 3: You make an extra point, we're playing, we're probably playing

110
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: in overtime. Okay, So that's what I was talking about.

111
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: Efficiency on offense, no empty series, no empty plays. Didn't

112
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: get that for the better part of three quarters. Yet

113
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter we saw how dominant this team

114
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: can be both thrown and running the football. He made

115
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: it happen in the fourth quarter. Climb back.

116
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: So if we're given a letter grade.

117
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: Letter grade is a C minus C minus.

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: And is that only C minus because the fourth quarter

119
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: bumped it up?

120
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

121
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, if you haven't gotten the fourth quarter, yeah,

122
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: you know, we'd be looking maybe to repeat the course.

123
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: Yea credit.

124
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Mine was first downs, and it was just period first downs,

125
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: and you had mentioned some time getting first down on

126
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: second down. I was going through the game and I

127
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: was taking some notes, and I think I had the

128
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: first Now, granted we're talking about first downs, but the

129
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: first third down conversion came with a minute ten seconds

130
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: left in the third quarter. Okay, they were one for

131
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: six at that point. At the end of the third

132
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Patriots had twenty first downs. Atlanta had ten.

133
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: Okay, that was a third and one conversion correct on

134
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 3: a seven yard pass.

135
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: So ten first downs at the end of the third.

136
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: Then you said they turned it on in the fourth quarter.

137
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: They ended up finishing with seventeen first downs. So if

138
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: you just look at the number, you're gonna say, wasn't bad.

139
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: They got beat Patriots had twenty three first downs in

140
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: the game. However, ten first downs in the first three quarters.

141
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Once again, Arch to your point, wasn't enough, right, You

142
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: weren't able to be efficient enough to keep yourself on

143
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 1: the field. Obviously, that ended up manifesting itself on third

144
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: down in such a poor performance on third down, but

145
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: my key was first downs, and I'm gonna go with

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: a C minus because the fourth quarter kind of changed

147
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: it as well, So the grades are not looking so great.

148
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: And then we threw the last one in special teams

149
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: more disciplined and I don't know, I guess if you

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: just look at a missed extra point, not necessarily not disciplined.

151
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: But that's not the job, right And that's one of

152
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 1: the biggest storylines coming out of the game. And Raheem

153
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: Morris was asked about it, whether or not that's going

154
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: to be up for competition again, and his answer was simple, like,

155
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: we just got to make the kick, guys. And I

156
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: thought about it a lot because I'm the resident special

157
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: teams guy here and I was not a kicker, but

158
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: I was in a same position to where your success

159
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: is not necessarily about mechanics fundamentals, it's mental. It's your

160
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: ability to perform in the moment. And I heard a

161
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: quote from Raheem Morris and his press conference he said,

162
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: excelling in that position and making those kicks is won

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: during games, is developed during games, not intice, right, because

164
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: you can go out and you can drill forty three yarders.

165
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Coach can put the game on the line. You can

166
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: pring all the players up around the kicker in practice

167
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: and you could say this is a pressure moment. You

168
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: got to make this kick to tie the game on

169
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: an extra point, or win the game, or it's in overtime,

170
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: whatever the scenario will be. You could do all that

171
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: stuff in practice, fellas, but the game is different. And

172
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I would flip this to you. I was thinking about

173
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: this as I was driving here today. How is this?

174
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: I know it's two completely different positions, but how is

175
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: making an extra point when you have to tie the game?

176
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: As far as the mental side of it, how is

177
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: it any different than a quarterback and your ability at

178
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: the end of the game to put a drive together

179
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: to go win it versus not winning it? Is there

180
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: an element of confidence moxie been there, done that? And

181
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: not mechanics not well, his throwing slot is not great,

182
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: or he doesn't have the nest necessary, the right zip

183
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: on the ball, But it's has he been there? Does

184
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: he leaving himself? And is he gonna do it.

185
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 4: Just before you go out, say something real quest. I

186
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 4: think even more than just the last drive for a quarterback.

187
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: I think it comes down to if you have to

188
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: take the answers of Okay, they have this one opportunity

189
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: to make this play. I correlated to a fourth down

190
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: and you gotta make a throw. Yeah, and we saw

191
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: it in the ball game, as opposed to okay, you

192
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: got a whole drive where it's first Okay, I missed

193
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: the first down throw, I got a second down throw.

194
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: I can go it.

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 4: That's different when you're a kicker. But I think it's

196
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: a fourth down play. That's when in your mind, am

197
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: I gonna rip it and he got man covered right there,

198
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna rip it when I don't know if he

199
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: gonna really come out to break it. And I think

200
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: that's kind of the same mindset is I believe it,

201
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: I trust it, and I'm gonna throw it, as opposed

202
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: to oh, I'm gonna wait and see, or I just

203
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: don't feel like maybe it's a little bit of win here,

204
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: or maybe I need to hold it a little bit

205
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 4: on that left up right to bring it back. That's

206
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: too much thinking you gotta kick the ball and go.

207
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: It's same thing with throwing it on fourth down, similar

208
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 4: to I mean to throw that Michael Pennis makes to

209
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: Drake Lennon on fourth down. You can't make that throw

210
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: unless you trust it, Yes, And I mean that ball

211
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 4: was ripped to a spot where only his guy can

212
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: get it, and it was such a tight window that

213
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 4: if he didn't have confidence to throw it, he probably

214
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: don't put it in that spot. Maybe it's a little

215
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: bit behind, Maybe he you know, kind of hold it

216
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 4: a little bit then lets it go. I think it

217
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: just comes down to if you have trust and confetence

218
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: in that one opportunity to make it, Yep, you don't

219
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: think about it.

220
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: You just let it go arch before you go.

221
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: And I think it was a great point that you

222
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: made about trusting it. Okay, And what I the parallela,

223
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: what I want to want to draw here with the

224
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: kicker is I played with a couple guys that relished

225
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: in that opportunity. I was with Jay Peeley in Atlanta,

226
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: and I was with Josh Brown and Seattle, and both

227
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: of those guys could not wait for that moment like

228
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: get me in the situation and I'm gonna go win

229
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: the game and they couldn't wait to run out on

230
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: the field, and they just had that dog in him

231
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: that like, I'm built for this. Fellas, like, just give

232
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to kick the field, going, I'm gonna

233
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: win the game for us. And then after they kick it,

234
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: they've kind of just got that little that little you know,

235
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: cockiness if you will, or or confidence. But to me,

236
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: it's arch it's that dog that when you go out

237
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: in the field, you're not thinking about, am I gonna

238
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: make it the last kick? It kind of veered to

239
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: the right a little bit. What do I need to

240
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: do to correct it? It's no, I'm going on the

241
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: field and I'm gonna drill this kick to win the game,

242
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: which to his point is like the fourth and one

243
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna rip it for this first down into

244
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: this tight window because I got confidence in myself.

245
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the things you guys are touching on from

246
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: a confidence standpoint, the mindset that you go into, I

247
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of differences. The quarterback when you

248
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: get to a final drive of a game, is thrown

249
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: probably thirty five passes in the game, So you've you've

250
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: built up some idea of what guys are doing coming

251
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: out of breaks, how they covering things, Where do I

252
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: need to put the football? Your offensive coordinator has boiled

253
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: it down to where this is the best play based

254
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: on what we've seen throughout the game. The kicker and

255
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 3: I'm not believing I'm not trying to defend the kickers.

256
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: You don't even have to watch their uniform. They don't

257
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: even get dirty, you know, in the game. But but

258
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: but there, it is a different a different situation. And

259
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: here's something that I would throw on top of that.

260
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: This is a guy that didn't go through training camp

261
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: with you, has no really any you know, anything embedded

262
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: with the teamery chemistry exactly. So you you're talking about

263
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 3: guys Jay Feely was here forever, you know. So those

264
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 3: guys are kind of even though they're not in the trenches,

265
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: they've gone through all the stuff with you in the

266
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: highs and lows, and they've probably made kicks that have

267
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: won games for you. And so you try a guy

268
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: out here that's just trying to establish some kind of

269
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: credibility with the team. Had the good game against Minnesota,

270
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: the five for five game. Did that give him enough confidence?

271
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: It certainly looked like a lack of confidence. Kick, you know,

272
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: because it kind of bled off to the right and

273
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 3: he missed it. And I saw the guys come over

274
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: and try to, you know, try to you know, dapt

275
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: him up or whatever and try to make him feel okay.

276
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: I just think there's a lot of differences to the

277
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: kicker because it might be the only chance you get

278
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: in a game, might be And now he got trotted

279
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: out there two or three times, so it wasn't his

280
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: only kick in the game. And if you look at

281
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: the kick prior to that, it just snuck in the

282
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: field goal just barely got in. So, as you said,

283
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: he's coming out there with a mindset that a little bit,

284
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 3: Hey Bradley, can you tilt it a little bit more

285
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: to the inside because.

286
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I need to move my foot to the left.

287
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: And that's a question for you. You've been around those guys.

288
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: They're different. There's different breeds of guys. Some of them

289
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: are or like regular players. Other guys are kind of

290
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: off to themselves. You've probably seen all of the all kinds.

291
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: What is it then, from a kicker perspective, In let's

292
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 3: say Parker Romo's situation the way he is now, where

293
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: he joined this team three or four games. There are

294
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: two games in the season, and he's trying to build

295
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: some credibility. Had an off day against Carolina, had a

296
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: really good day against against Minnesota. Kind of a mixed bag.

297
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: I know, you know he's hanging on because you got

298
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: a kicker on practice squad, just waiting for an opportunity potentially,

299
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: and I know that's part of the business. But as

300
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 3: a mental as it is, what is he going through

301
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: mentally on it?

302
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is That's what That's kind of

303
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: where I was going with this entire conversation is this

304
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: is not a mechanic, This is not a leg strength,

305
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: this is not an operation with the field goal unit

306
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: where he's not trusting people. It's none of that. It

307
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: is simply a mental thing in its confidence or lack

308
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: thereof that he's been in this moment before that he

309
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: is going out there and he's going to drill the kick.

310
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where I was trying to kind

311
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: of frame this conversation because even though you never really

312
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: think about a kicker being a dog, that's still kind

313
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: of the same mentality. Yeah, right, is the guy that's

314
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: been there before, that has so much confidence in himself

315
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: that the nerves are not going to get to him,

316
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: puts the ball right through the middle of the uprights,

317
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: or it's not close. Maybe it's a little bit to

318
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: the right of the middle, but it's not sneaking in

319
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: right because they're so confident in everything their approach, their footwork,

320
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: their placement, their body angle, all of those things right,

321
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: and the really good ones when they have a miss

322
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: earlier in the game, it's just like any other position.

323
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: It's just like the quarterback position. Is it short term memory?

324
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Like that one's gone, the really good ones, but the

325
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: ones that still aren't trying to find their way. Because

326
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: I had a lot of these guys in preseason when

327
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: I was playing, like you always have the younger guy

328
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: that was coming in to kind of challenge your incumbent veteran,

329
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: and you could just kind of see it. In those

330
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: pressure packed situations, they're thinking more about the ball faded

331
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: a little bit to the right last time, what do

332
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: I need to do to fix that? Whereas the guy

333
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: that's been there before is like, please right, like I'm

334
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna go do my thing, and I'm drilling this one

335
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: right down the middle. And when you think like that,

336
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: the body just follows it. Right, like your body, your nerves,

337
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: everything just follows right down the middle of the uprights.

338
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: It's probably one of those only moments where as a

339
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: fan you can probably have some perspective on this. And

340
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: the way I say say that is a lot of

341
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: people play golf, right and you've blown You blow one

342
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: in the trees off the tea boxe. Okay, Now you're

343
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: trying to get back in the game. You make double bogue. Okay,

344
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: loss on that hole. So here I go. I got

345
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: a stride to the next tee and hit them yep.

346
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: Right.

347
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: So it's kind of one of those only moments where

348
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: the common fan can kind of if you play golf,

349
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: not everybody plays golf, that you can kind of get

350
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: a feeling for what that feels like, you know, and

351
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: you can't really feel what a quarterback feels when he

352
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: you know, it's fourth quarter and it's fourth down, when

353
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: that's that's hard.

354
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: You got a lot on the lines, that money, you're

355
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: playing for all that money, But no, it's it's one

356
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 4: of those moments.

357
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's we've probably beaten a dead horse down

358
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: on that deal. But it's interesting. It is a very

359
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: different mindset, tough and to try to, and I know

360
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: what you're trying to do, is you're trying to Is

361
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: there some similarities I guess in the very moment, there's

362
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 3: some similarities for quarterback trying to make a throw on

363
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: fourth down or something like that. But again, you've thrown

364
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: probably twenty five to thirty five, maybe forty passes in

365
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 3: the game that have kind of set the table for

366
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 3: you not to really be thinking about, oh, this is

367
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 3: fourth down, the games on the line, because you're not

368
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 3: even think you're going through reads. You're doing a lot.

369
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 3: He's standing there. Way, I got to kick this through

370
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 3: the uprights, Yeah, or we lose the game. You're not

371
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: even you're not even going there as a quarterback, right,

372
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: So you're right.

373
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: So you're right. We did kind of have a long

374
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: drawn out conversation about it, and just as a disclaimer,

375
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: as we shoot this show on a Tuesday, we don't

376
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: know anything whether or not there's going to be any

377
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: changes at that position. We're just talking about as it

378
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: as it ends up unfolding. Fellas, Let's talk a little

379
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: bit about this game. I know you're not really trying

380
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: to the best way to analyze it is not to

381
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: look at things positively and paint a picture when it's

382
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: another loss. However, there was some positives takeaways in the game.

383
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: DJ six sacks in the game, the defense showing up

384
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Jalen Walker, I thought, played a really

385
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: good game with how he was able to make some plays.

386
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: What are some not to sit there and say, oh,

387
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: let's sugarcoat it here, but yeah, things that you can

388
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: take away from the game that you're hoping continue week

389
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: after week.

390
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: The one thing that sticks out at it, that comes

391
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 4: to mind instantly is how about the first and second

392
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: year guys, especially in that front seven for the falcom

393
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: You probably called Rook's name a bunch of times, probably

394
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: called during his name a couple of times. Obviously, we

395
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: talked about Pierce, and we talked about Jalen. I mean

396
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 4: he filled up the stat sheet. I mean it was

397
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 4: fun to watch those guys kind of Okay, things are

398
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: starting to click. So if you're looking at something to

399
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 4: be possible, you're thinking about, Okay, these guys finally turn

400
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 4: in the corner a little bit, You're like, okay, uh,

401
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 4: I heard Arch talk to my man Daules after the

402
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 4: game and he goes, oh, man, soon as La Kale

403
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: got a sack. Oh, I gotta go get me one now,

404
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: and that's I mean, you love that kind of mindset.

405
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, it's time to go eat.

406
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: He eating, I need to go eat.

407
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 4: You love that attitude, and I think you're starting to

408
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 4: get that. And you see these guys playing these different roles.

409
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 4: And if you look back at this game with those sacks,

410
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't a lot of blitzing.

411
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: It was maybe four or five man pressures. At times.

412
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: It was here's an et stunt, here here was another

413
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: guy just went it off effort. I mean, it was

414
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: some of that going on up front, and you gotta

415
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: love that. So I when I look at defensively, the

416
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 4: thing that comes to mind is those first and second

417
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: year guys making their presence known, having an impact. We

418
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: talked about the beginning of the season of Okay, this

419
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: is a big time for Route, It's a big time

420
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 4: for doallus no more? Grady, Jared, are you gonna be

421
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 4: those guys to step into that void and feel it

422
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 4: for him? And I thought, these guys are starting to

423
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: make their presence known, especially on the inside. And then

424
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 4: I think I was seeing somewhere, you know, Jalen and

425
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: Piers are you know, top five and pressure raised to season.

426
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 4: But you could just feel those guys coming off the

427
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: edge now and it was good to see Jalen may

428
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: to come through, get the ball out and then how

429
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 4: about to wear a fall for peers, not just fall

430
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 4: on the rock.

431
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: He trying to scoop and score.

432
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 4: You love that you got two athletic dudes on the

433
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 4: outside who are eager to get to the quarterback. And

434
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: I thought those guys did a good job.

435
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: I guess you guys a question though. When Pierce is

436
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: running that ball toward the end zone, were you guys

437
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: yelling at the TV too, like, bro, you better tuck

438
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: that football away? Like the only thing I could think

439
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: about was he was gonna make this game changing play

440
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: and then somebody was gonna.

441
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: He looked up at the board. He looked up at

442
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 4: the board. I'm sure you look up at the board.

443
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 4: You can see he's behind you.

444
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: Where's the confidence? You're thinking like a kicker?

445
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: I'm old school everybody that I was. He's going in.

446
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the unless your name is Dion Sanders,

447
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: tuck the football away. That's okay, arch, let's do let's

448
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: Let's pivot here though, because I don't want this discussion

449
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: to just to be about, Hey, this is all the

450
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: really good stuff that happened on the defensive side of

451
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: the ball. Let's talk about third down. Because third down

452
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball was a problem. All right, offensively,

453
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: you already talked about the struggles the last few weeks.

454
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: Now like this is building defensively eight of twelve, Like

455
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: you needed to get a stop to get them off

456
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: the field, to give the offense another opportunity to kind

457
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: of get things going. What is the issues on third down?

458
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: Because that's what a lot of people that are listening

459
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: and watching is they're looking for us to say, how

460
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: can what what is their opinion on what needs to

461
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: change for it to.

462
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: Get bettle third loans?

463
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were a couple, and those are the disappointing ones,

464
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: because that's that's where you've won to put yourself in

465
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: the position to get off the field, right or as

466
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 3: Raheem likes to say, off the grass.

467
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I love that.

468
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 1: It was.

469
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: It was essential lack of efficiency on first and second

470
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: down defensively, which creates these opportunities to be, you know,

471
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: in a manageable third down situation. That's what you're trying

472
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 3: to do, trying you hear all the analogies, trying to

473
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: stay on schedule, efficiency on offense, manageable third downs, all

474
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: these different little cliches that are thrown out about it.

475
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: But what what New England was able to do for

476
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: the most part was stay in those situations. And when

477
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: you did win on first and second down and to

478
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 3: your point, shock you lost coverage. You had to you

479
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: had to check down to a tight end and the

480
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 3: left flat and he runs for a first down, or

481
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: you know, where's the underneath coverage? There was some You

482
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: got a little discombobulated in the back end. There wasn't

483
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: a guy at a flat defender there to come up

484
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 3: and make that tackle. You want him to throw the

485
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 3: ball underneath, come up, make the tackle for six seven yards,

486
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: they have to punt the football. I think that's the key.

487
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: They were able to run the ball with some success

488
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: in this game. That continues to be a little bit

489
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: of an achilles heel for this defense, especially that interior run.

490
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: I thought it was better in this game, and I

491
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 3: thought it got better in the game because when they

492
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: tried to throw the ball on first and second down.

493
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: You created some negative plays, and that's what has to

494
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: happen to create opportunities.

495
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: Get off the grasses.

496
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 3: Where he likes to say is you have to create

497
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: some negative plays on first and second down. When you

498
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 3: look at Atlanta early on on offense, third and twelve,

499
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: third and nine, third and ten, third and ten, you're

500
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 3: getting negative plays or stalemate plays on first and second

501
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: down that are creating those opportunities for defenses to get

502
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: off the field. We're not doing enough of that on

503
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: first and second down to create those moments, and I

504
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 3: think that that'll be something that deff Olbrick and his

505
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: group look at. I think overall, they're number four in

506
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: the National Football League in total defense. You like where

507
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 3: that is six sacks you talked about that. You love

508
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: where that is two turnovers. You win the turnover battle.

509
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: How do you lose the football game? Well, you allow

510
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 3: them to eat clock or your offense can't be on

511
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 3: the field and your offense can't get any kind of

512
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: rhythm because they're not on the field. So I would

513
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: say you go back to the efficiency on first and

514
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 3: second down, much like you do on offense. You got

515
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: to be efficient on defense too. You've got to create

516
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: some negative plays like we're that's happening. Do us to

517
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: create those opportunities to get off the field and give

518
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: your offense the ball?

519
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 2: L Right, So let me ask you this.

520
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm watching the game, and obviously a big part of

521
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: this game is obviously third down and some execution there.

522
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 4: And one thing that just kept just just ringing from me,

523
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 4: and I went back and I looked it up, and

524
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 4: I counted twelve plays of ten yards or more in

525
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 4: this ball game. And we talk about execution, but then

526
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: you also talk about limiting the explosive plays. When a

527
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: fan looks at that part of the game, what do

528
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: you point to is how you can remedy that because obviously,

529
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 4: as we know we talk about every week, teams are

530
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: gonna draw up stuff. Yeah, they're gonna win, they're gonna

531
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 4: they got good players too, But twelve plays of ten

532
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 4: yards or more is something you can't have in a game.

533
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: Well, again, you begin to look at some of them,

534
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: and I thought there was specifically a place they attacked

535
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: in our defense. Are they attacked the inside part of

536
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: our defense? The nickel situation is where they attacked. Douglas

537
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: got freeing on a couple of those big plays. This

538
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: was a team that came in and had sixty three

539
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: plays of fifteen.

540
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: Yards or more.

541
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 3: They were averaging eight plays or more per per game

542
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: of those explosives. So they matched that they got to

543
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: that number. That was the number you wanted, and that's

544
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 3: not a number Atlanta had. Atlanta done a pretty good

545
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: job thirty three plays coming in in seven games of

546
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 3: fifteen yards or more. They had not allowed that to happen.

547
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: It's you know, it's not just one guy now, I said,

548
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: the Nickel situation, and that's a man demand. Sometimes situation.

549
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes you're comboing there, but it also has to be

550
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: you have to get home with pressure. If I'm coming

551
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: to pressure and playing man coverage, my guy can't cover

552
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: an over route, which is what Alford was asked to do,

553
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: and some other guys were asked to do clear across

554
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: the field. So it becomes a team concept. But that

555
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: that's an aberration, I hope, because Atlanta had not done

556
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 3: that defensively given up the explosives. New England had been

557
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 3: doing that. So when in a battle of wills a

558
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 3: little bit, New England won that shock.

559
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about Arch was alluding to

560
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: the fact that Atlanta was not able to have success

561
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: on early downs, which contributed to them being poor on

562
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: third downs. A lot of that had to do with

563
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: the fact that, and we talked about this last week.

564
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 1: Going into the matchup, New England had not allowed a

565
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: running back, a singular running back, to rush for over

566
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: fifty yards in a game. And what happens with Jon

567
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: Robinson held to less than fifty yards in this game? Again,

568
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: this is now another week We're not only talking about

569
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: the run game getting stuff, but now we're talking about

570
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: some guards, offensive guards getting banged up. So what did

571
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: you see in the running game? Because to me, I

572
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: don't think, yes, you want to tip your cap to

573
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: New England and say they've been a really tough run defense.

574
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's a valid excuse to just say, hey,

575
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: they're pretty good, they're gonna shut us down, right, Not

576
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: when you've got somebody like Bijon Robinson, Not when you've

577
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: got an offensive line that's played together as long as

578
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: they have. I feel like, to me, that's that's not

579
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: a great response. So what needs to happen with this

580
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: offense to get him not only just him, but Tyler

581
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: Algier going so they can be more of that dominant

582
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: run offense.

583
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 4: I think you mentioned part of it is obviously, you know,

584
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: having the mixed combinations up front of a couple guys

585
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 4: coming in and out of the lineup. Obviously that doesn't

586
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 4: help when you don't have your key guys in birds

587
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 4: goes out early. We know what a dog Burge is,

588
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: especially in the run game, his physicality, and that's part

589
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: of the two that we've talked about last couple weeks

590
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 4: is the other side of the ball has just been

591
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 4: more physical than we have and ultimately you're not gonna

592
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: drop up new plays. The run game is what it is.

593
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you got outside inside, you got ways to run,

594
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: you got ways to you know, get to a formation

595
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: of motion whatever it may be. But the end of

596
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 4: the ball game, it comes down to being able to

597
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: move that guy in front of you, and I think

598
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 4: between the last two weeks, we just haven't been able

599
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: to do that. Three weeks, to be honest, we haven't

600
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: been able to just move that guy in front of

601
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 4: you to be able to create the run lanes we like.

602
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 4: And the other part for me is, I know it

603
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: was a little bit tougher in the Miami game because

604
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 4: you were down you know, twenty seven three or whatever

605
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: it was, and you had to get away from it.

606
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 4: But I think we have to have we have to

607
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 4: be more adamant about staying with the run game a

608
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 4: little bit longer. Obviously, there are times where it's advantageous

609
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: for you to throw the football. Teams maybe loading up,

610
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 4: they're bringing that extra guy in the box, and obviously

611
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: they're having success doing that, but I think there's still

612
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 4: opportunities where you have two guys back there. I think,

613
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 4: regardless of how many guys they have down there, can

614
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: make a guy miss, can get you three, four or

615
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 4: five yards. And I think we have to stick to

616
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 4: it a little bit longer now when it comes to

617
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: the execution part of it, you know, without going back

618
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 4: and knowing exactly what each guy is supposed to do

619
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: in the run game, that's tough to say. And you know,

620
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: we've been a part of long enough to know, okay,

621
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 4: we were outside zone. You know where God's supposed to go,

622
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: get up to that second level. That's a part of it.

623
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 4: But I think you have to have to have to

624
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: give it a little bit more just to show it

625
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 4: because we want to be play action. We want to

626
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: better move a mic around a little bit more, and

627
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 4: that's part of it too. I think also is I

628
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: think now I can use his legs a little bit more.

629
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: And I think that's something we saw in his last

630
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 4: ball game. He took off for a fifteen yard run.

631
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: Everybody's like, whoa, whoa, what he can do that? And

632
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: the dude's athletic. URST talk to him after the game

633
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 4: about Hey, possibly use your legs a little bit more,

634
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 4: and he's like, yeah, that ain't my first thing, but

635
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: if I have to, I will. I think that's part

636
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: of also forcing defenses to respect that, hey, that eleven

637
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 4: God can hurt you too. And I think if you

638
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 4: can do that, when you get him on the perimeter,

639
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 4: on the edge, or him just having the ability to

640
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 4: take off on you, maybe add something else to the

641
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 4: run game as well.

642
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: And I know we've done.

643
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: A good job of trying to create the quote unquote

644
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 4: run game, putting Bijon out, throwing it to him in space,

645
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: kind of a you know, a look over what the

646
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: run game would.

647
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: Be just giving him the football. But I think I

648
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: can actually have a big part of it.

649
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: Two the problem and I agree with you completely Shock

650
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: the ability to commit to the run game. You ran

651
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: twenty eight plays in the first three quarters. How much

652
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: can you commit to the run game when you're not

653
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: getting any movement in the run game. Let's say you

654
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: run half the time, you run fourteen plays, and you

655
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: look up and you've got thirty two yards rushing. Well,

656
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: you're not on the field, and now your defense, much

657
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: like the Miami game, is on the field for thirty

658
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 3: eight minutes. That's why I thought that they came out

659
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: and I completely You don't want to hurts your pride

660
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 3: as a football player to say, oh, well they're good

661
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: against the run. We can't run it. No, no, no, no,

662
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: we can run it. But you have to be able

663
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: to be efficient on first and second down throwing the

664
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 3: football in the perimeter or in your quick game to

665
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: give you a chance to get first downs, to give

666
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: you a chance to state of the run game. Because

667
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: if I run it, it's minus one. Now I run

668
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: it again, it's two. Now, Now my young quarter backs

669
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 3: third and eight, and I don't convert. I'm off the field.

670
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: Here comes my defense and they get a couple first downs,

671
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: maybe they move down the score and you look up

672
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: and it's twenty one to seven. Well, I want to

673
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: keep Bjon involved. Maybe I need to throw it to him,

674
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: throw it to him, and then you're not efficient in

675
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: your screen game. The game, Yeah, your screen game is

676
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: not efficient. You miss him blocks on the perimeter. So

677
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: it's a it's a holistic approach to what we're doing,

678
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: as much as you want to stay with the run game,

679
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: I feel, Zach Robinson. You look up and I've only

680
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: had the ball for twenty five plays in the first half.

681
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: I ran it nine times or ten times, and I

682
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: didn't get anything out of it. How do you stay

683
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: with that? You know, if you keep your sanity, how

684
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 3: do I continue to beat my head against a wall

685
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: and keep sending my defense out there after three and outs?

686
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: You can't do it.

687
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: I can't do that on man, Yes, come on, hey, manage,

688
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: Hey Robinson, trying to keep it so let's not.

689
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: But the key, though, real Rack you said it is,

690
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: is the what you can do is you begin to

691
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: use nine more, get panics more involved out of bootleg stuff.

692
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 3: If people are crashing down and you've got second level

693
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: guys that are running to the to the play side

694
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: A and B gap and are running through, how do

695
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: I stop that because that's what's happening. You look at

696
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: Bijon touches the ball, Both linebackers are coming. You stick

697
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: the ball in Beajon's belly and get all that flow,

698
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: and then I naked bootleg out. Now, all of a sudden,

699
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: I got a problem in the set if my tide

700
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: end looks like he's blocking, and then Check releases and

701
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 3: goes across the formation. Those linebackers are flowing downfield. I've

702
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: got Kyle Pitts on the move. You know, you start

703
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: incorporating some of that stuff. But the confidence level we

704
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: were talking about the Kicker conference, Love, I think Michael

705
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: has to have the confidence that he can take off.

706
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: You know, this is a he's got a history of

707
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: getting banged. I'm not sure that that's there's a ghost

708
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 3: or a skeleton in his head that says, oh, if

709
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: I take off, I'm gonna get hit. I'm gonna get hurt,

710
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: or something like it happened to him Irland his career Indiana.

711
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: But I thought you made a great point, and then

712
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 3: I said it during the game. He got out and

713
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: he looked like the best athlete on the field. In fact,

714
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: I kind of blurred a little bit. I said, wait,

715
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: is that is that Vic running with the because that's

716
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 3: what he didn't. Yeah, he looked like the fastest guy

717
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: in the field. I'm hoping that that manifests itself into

718
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 3: a confidence for him that he can skate out of

719
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: there and take advantage of his athletics.

720
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: Because guys, there's times when it might be second and

721
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: ten and they dial up a pass and if everything

722
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: vacates and he doesn't or he doesn't have anything downfield

723
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: because it's covered up like it's third and six, is cool.

724
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: Like third and six is much better than third and

725
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: ten if he just tucks it down and picks up four.

726
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: But i mean, we saw a few weeks ago Josh

727
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: Allen like that's what he does. Like Josh Allen, he like,

728
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me the run, Like I'm gonna take it.

729
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is he's one of the best passing quarterbacks

730
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. He's gonna take the yards

731
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: if you give it to him, and he's gonna slide

732
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: right well.

733
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 3: Drake State came into this game two hundred and fifty

734
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: yards rushing. He skated out a couple times. I'm looking

735
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: at I'm looking at pinning. Now Pinnicks missed a game,

736
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 3: but Michael come into the game twenty four carries or

737
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, seventeen carries forty three yards, forty three yards.

738
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: Used it much, Drake May, Drake May came into the

739
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: game with fifty one carries, obviously a couple of if

740
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 3: you work, two hundred and fifty yards two touchdowns, and I.

741
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: Think the two fifty was second most on the team,

742
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: Is that right?

743
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

744
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's a guy that's not more athletic than

745
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: Michael Pennix's. And I think everybody's got this misnomer about, oh,

746
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 3: he's a pocket passer, and I hear all these these

747
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: talking heads around the country, so oh, he just stands

748
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 3: in the pocket. Throw go look at this guy's history.

749
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: This guy he ran four or five at the combine,

750
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 3: all that kind of he can go.

751
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: Now, he just got to go take it, all right,

752
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: So let's kind of use this as we transition into

753
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: the next week, as the Falcons not only have a

754
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: big challenge of travel this week as they go to Berlin, Germany,

755
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to Dave about that, but they're also

756
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: going to face arguably one of the hottest teams in

757
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So let's start with a little

758
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: bit of the travel, because Arch you've done this europe

759
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: trip a couple of times with the Falcons. So give

760
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: the people that are listening and watching a little bit

761
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: of flavor of just what that part of this trip

762
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: is about.

763
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's well, it's it's not routine, right, guys, with

764
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 3: the players are so used to be in routine. So

765
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: the team's gonna leave Thursday afternoon. So it's essentially, if

766
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: you were in la and you're gonna fly back to Atlanta,

767
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: you jump on that eleven thirty flight, and you got

768
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 3: the red Eye back to Atlanta, get in about six

769
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning. That's what's gonna happen here. Only

770
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 3: the red Eye is gonna take nine hours to get there.

771
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 3: So you're gonna leave here at about four four point

772
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 3: thirty in the afternoon and you're gonna arrive in in

773
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 3: Germany around what seven eight o'clock in the morning, Okay,

774
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 3: with a time change. I think it's a six hour

775
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: time change there. The team is immediately going to go

776
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: to practice. So what you're immediately trying to do, you

777
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 3: guys know this is you try to get on that clock.

778
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: That's the idea of going over a couple days early,

779
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 3: is you got to you get on that clock. And

780
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 3: so we're not gonna hopefully you can get some slip

781
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: up on the plane. They're going to get a lot

782
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: more sleep than I am because they have those little

783
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: sleeper things and I've got a regular chair. Yeah, I

784
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 3: got to get in. Remember the old bus rides, you

785
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: had to get underneath the bus that's underneath the seats

786
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 3: to get rid. But anyway you get over there, they're

787
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: going to practice and try to get on that on

788
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: that time clock. So what the coaches are going to

789
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: try to do is you guys have played international stuff too,

790
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: is they're going to try to get things back to

791
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 3: normal as quickly as possible. So practice here on Thursday,

792
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 3: load up, get on the plane, get over there. Practice

793
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 3: when you get over there, go back to the hotel.

794
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 3: Try not to go to lay down at four o'clock

795
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: in the afternoon, you know. And then uh, and then Saturday,

796
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 3: you hope you settle into more of a normal Saturday,

797
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 3: come in, walk through, do whatever you want to do, meetings,

798
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 3: and then you just you disperse and go or do

799
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: whatever you do from a from a home game standp

800
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 3: but it kind of becomes a home game scenario, hope,

801
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 3: and then you get up and play. Now it's gonna

802
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: come on what here at nine thirty in the morning, Nick,

803
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 3: that's over there? I think is kick time over there?

804
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: I mean, is it?

805
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 3: Is it realistic? And I'll ask you you this rack

806
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: you you you did a number of these as well

807
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 3: as a player. Is it realistic to do the whole

808
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: get on the time clock thing or is it still

809
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: kind of feel weird to you?

810
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still a little bit off. Let me just

811
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: say it that way, right, Like you're gonna try, but

812
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: like getting on that time to me doesn't take like

813
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: thirty six hours. It takes a little bit longer than that.

814
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: If you can get yourself a customer. And the biggest

815
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: thing for me because I I played in two international

816
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: games in Japan as a player, which was a preseason

817
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: and that's even longer trip. Preseason was different. It's not

818
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: a game that like every that matters for your win

819
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: loss record, right, but it's so much of a longer trip.

820
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

821
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: But then I've also probably called eight of these London

822
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: games on the radio for Westwood One, so I've done

823
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: this trip a number of times. Now, I don't have

824
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: the benefit of their physiologists, their sports science people, and

825
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: all of the different things that they do to try

826
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: to get these guys prepared, from a nutrition, from a sleep,

827
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I just fly over there like a

828
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: regular person, and I generally lift would leave at like eleven,

829
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: land over there at nine or ten in the morning,

830
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: and then I am exhausted, and everybody told me, fellas,

831
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: don't go to sleep the first day. I tried it

832
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: one time, and I made it to about seven thirty

833
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: or eight o'clock, and I was fighting it all day long.

834
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: Every other time I went over there, I had to

835
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: fall asleep because I don't sleep well on those planes

836
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: going over there, because I'm in a regular seat, I'm tall,

837
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm never able to get comfortable. It's different for these guys, right,

838
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: So hopefully they are able to get some sleep, they

839
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: are able to get on the clock, because they're gonna

840
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: get over there and move right away.

841
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: Right.

842
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: But then once you get over there, guys, it's like,

843
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: guess what the colt's got play under the same conditions

844
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: as well, right they're traveling, they got to do it too,

845
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: So guess what excuses are gone because everybody's got to

846
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: do the same thing.

847
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: Now.

848
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: It just gets back to doing what we talked about

849
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: all season long, and it's executing. So shock. I'm gonna

850
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: turn it over to you, and I'm going to have

851
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: you give the listeners and the viewers a little bit

852
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: of flavor of what the Falcons are going to see

853
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: in the Colts this year. Again, a team that coming

854
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: into the season, I don't think anybody expected to be

855
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: one of the right that to be one of the

856
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: top teams in the National Football League.

857
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 4: And to start the season, you thought, coming in the

858
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 4: Annapolis coach would be having a quarterback in Anthony Richardson who.

859
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: Would be their guy.

860
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 4: And you said, oh, okay, yeah, he's coming into you know,

861
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 4: second third year trying to figure it out, and that

862
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 4: they're still a work in progress.

863
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: And then they bring over.

864
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 4: Danny Dimes and you're like, oh, Daniel Jones. He was

865
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 4: all right in New York, but sometimes you just need

866
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 4: a new surrounding, sometimes you just need a new voice.

867
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 4: And he's playing some of his best football to date

868
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 4: and a lot of people say, hey, he could be

869
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: in the conversation for one of the top guys in

870
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 4: the league. And obviously last week they didn't have their

871
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 4: best game. He threw three interceptions in that ball game,

872
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 4: and they held Jonathan Taylor to what forty six yards

873
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: rushing or some of that ball game. But this is

874
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 4: an offense that is you're talking about putting up points

875
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 4: eighth in rushing offense, one hundred and twenty five game,

876
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 4: third and pass offense, and two hundred and fifty seven

877
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 4: a game, and first International Football League in points.

878
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: It's going thirty two a game.

879
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: Both him, Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor both lead their

880
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 4: respective categories and passing yards Daniel Jones and then rushing

881
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 4: yards and Jonathan Taylor. You're talking about a guy who

882
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 4: you look up the statute and you say, oh my god,

883
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 4: this dude is going for one hundred like it's nothing

884
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 4: every single week. He's a tough player. He can catch

885
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 4: it out of the backfield. And then you look up

886
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 4: and say, oh man, they got some receivers on the outside.

887
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 4: I mean, you look up, you got Pittman Junior, who

888
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 4: he's got six touchdowns on the year. They got three

889
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 4: guys with over five hundred yards already in this season. Obviously,

890
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 4: the tight end Tyler Warren, who I think we all

891
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 4: saw the last couple of years that know, the Dame,

892
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 4: a do it all guy from We.

893
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 2: Saw this guy to play quarterback and to Penn State.

894
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 4: Talking about the Penn State Ye, yeah, Penn State did

895
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 4: did a lot of great things for them. Alec Pierce

896
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 4: another guy who's averaging twenty yards of reception. I mean

897
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 4: you're talking about a receiver group that. And then you

898
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 4: got another little guy on the Insime from North Carolina

899
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: and Josh Downs who is also a threat on the

900
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: outside who is for so you talking about having playmakers

901
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 4: at every freaking level.

902
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 3: They got it.

903
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 4: And then you got a quarterback who can describ the football.

904
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 4: They're playing at a high level offensively. Last week obviously

905
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 4: one of their best showing against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh put it

906
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 4: on pretty good. But this is the offense that you

907
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: got expect to bring it because they're looking to put

908
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 4: some points.

909
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: On the ball.

910
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 3: Shout out Gary Downs too, Gary Downs, former Falcon.

911
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean he is producing like absolute stunts hitting sun

912
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: It is going to be like the best defensive player

913
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: coming out in the draft.

914
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 3: Well I think he's got a daughter. So they playing

915
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: volleyball Xander built or not, but like a duke, that's

916
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 3: an all American. So Garry, way to get it done, brother,

917
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 3: you and your wife getting it done.

918
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: Arch. Here's the interesting thing. The Falcons and what do

919
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: we call it? Four weeks now have faced Christian McCaffrey,

920
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: Devon ah Chan and now Jonathan Taylor. So they're getting

921
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: a steady dose of some really electric running backs. And

922
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: Taylor's built a little bit differently than the first two guys,

923
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: but Shock talked about his numbers and what he was

924
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: able to do. However, is it it's not as easy

925
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: to just put on the Pittsburgh tape and say this

926
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: is what we need to do. However, you slow down

927
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor to the tune of forty five yards and

928
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: then you forced Daniel Jones to throw the football fifty times, like,

929
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: that's when you're gonna have some opportunities. So it's so

930
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: at least Atlanta seeing some a recent recipe in how

931
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: you slow down this what we didn't know was going

932
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: to be a potent Colts offense.

933
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, get them off the field, get them off the

934
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: field on third down, try to win that down. This

935
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: is a team that's converting forty five percent on third down.

936
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 3: And that's the part that's even tougher is they've converted

937
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 3: fifteen of seventeen fourth downs, So which tells you they're

938
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 3: staying on schedule, comfortable enough to where they get to

939
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: fourth and two they're going to go for they're staying

940
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: on the field. Yeah, so they're converting at a high,

941
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 3: high level. When it comes to staying on the field.

942
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh took that away from them. Pittsburgh turned them over.

943
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 3: And those are the obviously that's the recipe. You want

944
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: to sack the quarterback and turn them over. What do

945
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 3: we do this last weekend? Sack the quarterback and turn

946
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: them over? So you got to be more efficient on

947
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 3: first and second down. But that's that's what you're looking

948
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 3: for there. I don't think there's any special pill that

949
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 3: you take. You've got to stop the run. And what

950
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 3: are they going to look at, say, Okay, what are

951
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: teams that run the football that have an off day?

952
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 3: Which they did against against the Steelers lost twenty seven

953
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 3: to twenty of the Steelers turned it over, did some

954
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: things uncharacteristic that had been kind of existing in their

955
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 3: first seven games. They're gonna get back to what they

956
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 3: do to They're gonna try to pound the run. They're

957
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 3: gonna say, o, hey, just what the Doctor ordered. The

958
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: team that can't stop the interior run game, We're gonna

959
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 3: come after the run game. So Oldbricks group's gonna have

960
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: to swell up there. This is a pretty good defensive

961
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: unit as well. They've got a linebacker that hits like

962
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 3: the most really good linebackers, Ira Franklin. Flies all over

963
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 3: the field. He's got three consecutive seasons one hundred and

964
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 3: sixty five plus tackles. They've got an outstanding safety in

965
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 3: Nick Cross who is another tackling machine that flies around.

966
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 3: And Leatu Latu, who they drafted a couple of years ago,

967
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 3: leads them in sacks. They are I think eight or

968
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 3: ninth in the league in sacks as a team. So

969
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 3: they're doing some stuff defensively. The one thing they're not

970
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 3: doing they're not stopping the pass and they're not getting

971
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 3: people off the field on third down. Teams are converting

972
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 3: forty five point six percent on third down. That's near

973
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: the bottom of the league. If there was anything the

974
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: Doctor ordered was a team struggling on third down defensively,

975
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 3: which is what we're struggle around on offense, right.

976
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: And to be a week where they get things back

977
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: on track. I was looking at Daniel Jones's numbers, and Guys,

978
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: this is not really a surprise, but like pretty much

979
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: the whole season, he's thrown anywhere from twenty five to

980
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: thirty four passes in the game, and I think that's

981
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: where they want him to live. But the fact was

982
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 1: they got off schedule in the chains, they got shut

983
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: down in the run game, and they forced him to throw.

984
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: Like there's certain guys like I don't know if you

985
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: want Patrick Mahomes throwing at fifty times or Jared Goff

986
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: throwing at fifty times, because those guys are probably gonna

987
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: end up making you pay at some point throughout the

988
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 1: course of the game. But generally when a quarterback's thrown

989
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: at fifty times is not a good thing, right. But

990
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: I think if Atlanta can get to the point to

991
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: where Daniel Jones has to throw it a lot, where

992
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: you got a defense that's got some confidence of getting

993
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: after the quarterback, you've got a secondary that can take

994
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: the football away, maybe this uncorks Jesse Bates a little

995
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: bit more after you mentioned he got his first interception

996
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: of the season that this is a game where the

997
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: defense can can try to get back on track, slowing

998
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: down the run game again, but also trying to get

999
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: some takeaways. I'm reading our rundown and this is throwing

1000
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: me off because I didn't see it. But it's time

1001
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: for our get that right, say that, say that zoom spiel.

1002
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: Do you want to try that here here, right here,

1003
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: right here, try try this right here.

1004
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: Well, I think I don't know I can say anything

1005
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 3: in the nib slum zim zeal a shock.

1006
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: Your turn, your turn. Let me see what your best

1007
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: German is.

1008
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 2: It's your shoes sizem spin.

1009
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 3: Why did he sound like Why did he say like

1010
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 3: an English guy?

1011
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: I sound like a little bit of Irish.

1012
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not a native, alright, So for people that are.

1013
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: Like a native, that is supposedly probably a completely off pronunciation.

1014
00:46:53,840 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: But keys in German zoom spiel. All right, So we're

1015
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna give our zoom spiel. I need one zoom spiel

1016
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: from your keys to the game, key to the game

1017
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: for Atlanta to come away with a victory.

1018
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 4: Zoom some spill, I would say, dominate the line of scrimmage.

1019
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 4: This will be a ball game. I think that if

1020
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 4: you win the line of what.

1021
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna let you. I'm not gonna let you

1022
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 3: what game. Don't you want to dominate the line of scrimmage?

1023
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: It's my key, my key.

1024
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: You don't hide Jackson, you will.

1025
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 2: You know why.

1026
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 3: It's because he's a Georgia Bulldog. And what do they

1027
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 3: do every game? They dominate the lin of Have we

1028
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 3: not dominated? No?

1029
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 2: We have not? We have not not. That's a good call.

1030
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 3: That's a good I give it you saying.

1031
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 4: And it seems like duh, But I feel like with

1032
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 4: the way they run the football, with our need to

1033
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 4: be able to run the football, we got to own

1034
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 4: the line of strimage.

1035
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean every game you have to have that for sure.

1036
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay with us room spiel, Okay, that one is?

1037
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 3: Is that really kind of a piece of it?

1038
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 2: Ah?

1039
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: Is that a piece of somebody's.

1040
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: Listening or watching that strudle with something sprinkled on top of.

1041
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 2: Just butchering this? All right?

1042
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: Arch give us a key to the game.

1043
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: Wow, so we're gonna die.

1044
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 3: Like so, I can't go anywhere near dominate the line

1045
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 3: of screamage or anything like that, because that takes run

1046
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 3: game all that kind of converting on third down is

1047
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 3: really boring. So how do you get there? I'm gonna say,

1048
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: the the quarterback that has the most rushing yards in

1049
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 3: this game.

1050
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 1: The game, dang okay, feeding off of what we talked

1051
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: about earlier. I can't I can't even get an I

1052
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: don't know how good it is, but it's different.

1053
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think if Michael can have an impact

1054
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 3: on this game, just other than throwing the ball, because

1055
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 3: you know, Daniel Jones has the ability to do that

1056
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 3: same stuff. He can get out and run as well.

1057
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 3: So the quarterback that has the most impact in the

1058
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 3: run game or his ability to move, let's just say

1059
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 3: his ability to move, the move out of the pocket,

1060
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 3: extend things, I think he wins the football game.

1061
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it all right, So you guys stayed

1062
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: offense kind of yours is both like yours was the game.

1063
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 2: And it's not every part of the game.

1064
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: Though, what are we talking about?

1065
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: We're still going to throw we gotz I mean, come on,

1066
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 2: we got a.

1067
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: Lot of different things. My key is going to be

1068
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: defense causing chaos. Okay, and so what does that mean?

1069
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: That means sacks? That could mean tips at the line

1070
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. That could mean hurries, which forces Daniel Jones

1071
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: out on the perimeter. That means past deflections. When they

1072
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field, that obviously means takeaways.

1073
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about up with that because I was trying

1074
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: to give variety, you know, that's.

1075
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 3: Tried to He got control line of scrimmage so completely

1076
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 3: completely screws us.

1077
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have no chance to go because

1078
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: it's like we can't do all three of the same thing.

1079
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: And so so yours was offense. I went with defense.

1080
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 2: I like you.

1081
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: Yours yours was much on defense. I'll drink just by

1082
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: the way, that was a backhanded slap to you that

1083
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: he didn't like your Is that.

1084
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: Is that is he?

1085
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,240
Speaker 3: Is that an American German beer? Or is that actually

1086
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 3: a German beer? Or is it even a German beer? Heineken?

1087
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2: Consume it. Oh no, I plan on it.

1089
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, here's what I want to know. After

1090
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: you go over there, is this one of those things

1091
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: where like Americans say that we're drinking it because it's German,

1092
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: but over there they don't drink it at all. Right,

1093
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 1: So let us know, did you see local people drinking Heineken,

1094
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: because I I know when you go to Ireland, like

1095
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: they drink Ginnis like that's their job, that's water.

1096
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 3: Yeah right, but I sense it. I feel like that

1097
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 3: that is a beer made from there that we brought

1098
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 3: over here.

1099
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: Rch.

1100

Speaker 1: I don't have a good answer for you, but I

1106
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: take pride in that because if I had all of

1107
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: the answers about beer and alcohol, you might start questioning

1108
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: what my priorities are in life.

1109
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:26,719
