1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Mile two to the kind of he's.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Gonna slip through its for.

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: Falcons fans, Welcome back to Falcons Final Whistle. We have

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: an incredible and exciting Sunday night football game to break

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: down the Atlanta Falcons one on the road against the

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings twenty two to six, and boy, you talk

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: about a performance that really should leave a positive taste

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: on a lot of fans.

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: Now.

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: Its because Ree Morris likes to say that identity is

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: born out on the field, and I think that this

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: was an identity defining game for the Falcons in one

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: of the toughest environments in the NFL. So that's kind

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: of what I'm going to start off with if you're

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: new to this season's version of Falcons Final Whistle, a

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: quick rundown. We're going to give four quarters of review

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: of tonight's game, and tonight's going to be a little

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: bit different because Tory mclaney is in Minnesota. She was

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: on site covering this game. She's gonna join me for

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: quarters two and three and kind of give her thoughts

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: from location after talking to Raheem Morris and kind of

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: getting his thoughts on the game. So right off the jump, though,

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I want to just kind of get into why this

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: game just felt so different in kind of the best

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: possible way and answered a lot of questions that I

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: think if Falcons fans needed to see from this group.

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: And it's early on in the season, but to put

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: together a game like this where in Week one I

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: felt like Atlanta was the better team. I said that

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: kind of up top and I with more distance. Yes,

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: they were the better team, but they they lost kind

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: of because they shot themselves in the foot in some

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: of the similar ways that we have seen Falcons teams

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: do in years past. Tonight they won this game despite

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: the mistakes they were making because they came up with

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: the clutch plays and they came up with the clutch

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: plays against a really good team in their home environment.

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, the offense had to lean on the defense.

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: I am willing to be patient with the offense to

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: give them time to figure things out a because offense

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: is a little bit harder. You do have a new

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in there. It's gonna take some time to adjust.

43
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Didn't get much from Drake Lennon Darnel Mooney tonight. That's fine.

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I expect them to be just okay throughout the rest

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: of the season. But we didn't need to because this defense,

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: the defense that everybody has been so worried about pulling

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: their hair out all off season about. Man, they shut

48
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings down tonight. Are you kidding me? This was

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: a great performance. They did not allow a touchdown. JJ

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: McCarthy completed only eleven passes. The leading rusher in this

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: game thirty yards. I mean, in every single way you

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: want to look at it, Atlanta's defense steps up. And

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: that is what I always needed to see this see

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: from this team is the ability to win in multiple ways,

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: because that's kind of the secret sauce to it. All Right,

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: you can talk about defense wins champion, you need a

57
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: good run game. I've always believed that really the key

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: to success, especially in the postseason, is being able to

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: play in a variety of ways or play left handed.

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Is kind of Bill Belichick used to like to say,

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 1: because that is what teams are going to do. They're

62
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: going to take away the things you like to do best.

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: And so tonight I kind of felt like Atlanta's downfield

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: passing game was once again non existent. But I have

65
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: to believe that that is the part of the game

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: that Minnesota was really trying to take away. Now I'm

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to go back and watch the All twenty

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: two because the broadcast angle doesn't do the best job

69
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: of showing you all the coverages out there, so you know,

70
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: I asterisk this take a little bit. But if that

71
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: was the case, then Atlanta's offense did exactly what it

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: needed to do, right And I kind of think the

73
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Vikings wanted to play this style of game. The Falcons adapted,

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: realized what kind of game they were in and said,

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: all right, we'll beat you at this one too. And

76
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: to see that they have the components to be able

77
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: to kind of re tool on the fly there and

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: slide right into the moment and then dominate it was

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: so so good. And it doesn't mean that every single

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: week is going to look like this moving forward, right,

81
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: But to know that they have this pitch this early

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: in the season is something that you make a little

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: tally on when you are providing reasons why this group

84
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: can be that surprise team in the NFC. There's one

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: every year, right, so why not the ones that just

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: went into Minnesota knocked off a team that was one

87
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: of the very best in your conference last year? And

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: you looked really, really good doing it and answered a

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: lot of questions. I also thought the kicking game, right,

90
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: we talked about kind of night and day differences between

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: week one and week two. What about Parker Romo right

92
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: up until Tyler all Jeers fourth quarter touchdown to cement

93
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: the game, he was he was it baby. He had

94
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: a field goal for every day that he was a

95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: member of the Falcons leading into this game, which is crazy.

96
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: So no idea where that leaves everything with the kicking battle,

97
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: but Barber Romo answered every single question and he did

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: it at the perfect time. So he was nails tonight.

99
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: The defense was nails tonight. I thought Michael Pennock Junior

100
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: did a great job kind of doing everything that was

101
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: needed of him, again in a tough environment. So an

102
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: impressive performance and kind of a different performance than we

103
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: usually say is impressive from the Falcons.

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: Right.

105
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: We're used to shootouts, we are sometimes used to defense,

106
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: but not a pure defense a battle like this. This

107
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: felt like a Jets game from the last couple of years.

108
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: So it's nice to know that Jeff Olbrick still has

109
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: this and brought it to Atlanta. Because the defense looks

110
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: so good and I have a feeling that that is

111
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: what Tory and I are going to talk about here

112
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: in one second when we start our second quarter. So

113
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get on into that. Tory, nice

114
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: to see you. You look well, very excited after a

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: big win. How is the environment up there in Minnesota?

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it was crazy.

117
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: I think that the Vikings fans just in general, Like,

118
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: I've been to this stadium a couple of times now,

119
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: and it always shocks me how loud it is, how

120
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: much of an almost sec environment it is. So I

121
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: think that it was honestly one of those things that

122
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: you knew it was going to be a problem early on,

123
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: and it was. But you have to give the Falcons

124
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: run game specifically credit for kind of holding down the

125
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: fort for long enough to really get this thing going.

126
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: But honestly, the story of this game is the defense,

127
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: and I feel like I can't overlook what they.

128
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: Were for this group.

129
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's start with the defense. Well, we can get

130
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: to the run game as well, But do you want

131
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: to real quick explain to our listeners why you're whispering

132
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: a little bit?

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, So I'm currently in the visiting team press

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: conference room, I'm in between Raheem Morris's press conference and

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: Michael PENNOCKX Junior's press conference. So if I say, hey, guys,

136
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: Mike is coming in and I log out, don't worry.

137
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: I'll come back on all right. Well, yeah, I really

138
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: wish I was sitting next to you for this game,

139
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: because I feel like this is just one that we

140
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: would have sunk our teeth into. What did you make

141
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: of this defensive performance? It was not one that I

142
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: expected necessarily, but you know, I'm not necessarily surprised either.

143
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: So here's the thing is, it was everything that you

144
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: wanted it to be when you drafted those four guys

145
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, back back in April, back in May,

146
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: when you bring in Jalen Walker, James frist Junior, Xavier

147
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: why it's Billy Bowman Junior. Like this performance today was

148
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: why you got those guys. It's the manifestation of this

149
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: youth movement on defense in Atlanta. It's something I'm super

150
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: excited to get into the locker room and talk to

151
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: some of these guys about what today was and how

152
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: meaningful it was to see some of these young guys. Heck,

153
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: even Zach Harrison even Ricuerroro, even Brandon Dorles. All of

154
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: these names are all guys who are under twenty five

155
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: playing for this defense and playing to a clip that

156
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: I don't think we've seen since the early two thousands

157
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: with this Atlanta Falcons team.

158
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: No, and I mean those were some really fun defenses

159
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: back in the day. But that you're right, like and Tori,

160
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: I think I was wrong honestly going into this offseason.

161
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: If you had asked me what do the Falcons need

162
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: to add on defense? I would have said, you need

163
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: to get some guys who are going to kind of

164
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: play some of those foundational roles for you and be

165
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: those connective tissues and building blocks to allow cade Nellis

166
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: and Jesse Bates and Ajates are and your stars to

167
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: kind of be stars instead. They're kind of aj Terrell,

168
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: David On Yamada, Jesse Bates, Divine Diablo. They're your glue,

169
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: they are your core on defense, and these young pieces

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: are the ones making the flashy, standout plays and I

171
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: freaking love it.

172
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

173
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: No, I mean I think it's so funny too, because

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 3: I was joking on Twitter during the game that our

175
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: creative team and posting all of these graphics of milestones,

176
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: was just turning them out, churning them out, because you're

177
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: talking about Brandon Dorlyss, James Frist Junior, Jalen Walker, Billy

178
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: Bowman Junior, Xavier Wise. I believe ruquererro like, there were

179
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: so many guys who had firsts for this defense, and

180
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: I think it's honestly like and I even asked for him, Morris,

181
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: this about Ruguerrero and Brandon Dorles specifically. These are two

182
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: guys who, let's be honest, this is kind of an

183
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: extension of their rookie year.

184
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: To see them have the start that they did in these.

185
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: First two games in a year where you do not

186
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: have the veteran leadership of Grady Jarrett anchoring that interior

187
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 3: defensive line, Like, it just shows me that the Falcons

188
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: defense as a whole, the defensive unit as a whole,

189
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: is heading not just in the right direction, but they

190
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: are maybe a step ahead, two step, two steps ahead

191
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: from where I thought they would be at this point

192
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: in time. And we talked, you know, last week about

193
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 3: how close they were on certain plays like so close

194
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 3: inches millisecond sentis. Yeah, this was something that completely flipped

195
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: on its head this time around against a very difficult

196
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: Minnesota offense that we saw what they did against the

197
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: Bears on Monday Night Football last week. I honestly, I

198
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: think that if you're this defense, you leave this game

199
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: with absolute like a chip on your shoulder in the

200
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: best way possible that Hey, you're young, but you showed

201
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: that the youth movement is real in Atlanta.

202
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the first quarter, I kind of talked about

203
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: how this game felt like a little bit of a

204
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: flipped version from Week one, and you're talking about making

205
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: those plays in the moments where adversity was going against you,

206
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: And I think a really great example of that was

207
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: in the first half. I think it was the second

208
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: quarter when Minnesota was really putting together their best offensive

209
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: drive and JJ McCarthy kind of throws a beautiful out

210
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: route against AJ Terrell to Jalen Naylor and moves them

211
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: down like deep in a falcon's territory. And the defense

212
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: then responds with I think like back to backs as

213
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: to get them to kind of force the field goal.

214
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: And I was just like, Wow, what a moment to

215
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: stand up with your back against the wall in a

216
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: pitcher's duel, right, And that's what this game was. And

217
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: so for the defense to kind of emerge in this

218
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: way at this time again in this environment. Like hats

219
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: off to Jeff Olbrick in his group.

220
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think so too. And there was

221
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: another moment, you know, to start the fourth quarter the

222
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: way that they did with you know, the I believe

223
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: that was when the strip sack happened.

224
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Or was that?

225
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

226
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: And Zach Harrison another player yep.

227
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So sorry, everything's kind of running together as I'm

228
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: going through this, but like that moment was an absolute

229
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: tone setter for how this game was going to end.

230
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: And I think the fact that like it was that

231
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: for this team was pretty impressive. Also, Mike's coming in,

232
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: so i'll cloil back.

233
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: Tory is back. She has spoken with the starting quarterback

234
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Falcons, Michael Penn Junior. Tory, do you

235
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: want to start with what Raheem Morris had to say

236
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: or what you just heard from Mike about tonight's game.

237
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Mike because it's fresh in the brain.

238
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: I'm literally just coming off of that. A big part

239
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: of his conversation was about the run game. I mean,

240
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: I think that you can't talk about this game without

241
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: talking about what this run game was, and I asked

242
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: him about the specific moment where it's late in the

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: fourth quarter and they're running the ball, they're bleeding clock,

244
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: and Chris Linstrom just kind of motions to the sideline

245
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: like just keep going, keep running it, and he made

246
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: Michael Pennix kind of said, you know, everything starts with

247
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: the offensive line. He said that during the week, he

248
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: said that again today, and it starts with the run

249
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: game as well. Everything that the Falcons want to do

250
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: leeds off of what they do in the run game

251
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: and what they specifically do with Jean Robinson. So the

252
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: fact that they were able to have the success that

253
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: he did running the ball tonight even though they weren't

254
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: getting in the end zone, which Michael Pennack it's also

255
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: kind of talked about that and what the Vikings were

256
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 3: doing inside the red zone and how they were executing that.

257
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: Those were all yeah, those were all things that he

258
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: spoke about as well. But he was like to have

259
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: the run game have such a significant jump in production

260
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: from week one to week two just shows one how

261
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: much the Falcons wanted to get back to their bread

262
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: and butter, which they were able to do tonight, but

263
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: also to how much they would just rely on it,

264
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: and how good it was to get that jump started

265
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: and how that could look moving forward.

266
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was a big credit to the

267
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: offensive line, Charlie Warner, all those guys who who have

268
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: a significant role in the run game. And yeah, it

269
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: was a shame, you know, they didn't get more of

270
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: those red zone touchdowns, but to possess the ball as

271
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: much as they did to kind of, I think keep

272
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: the defense fresh, to allow the defense to continue to

273
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: be on its front foot all throughout the night in

274
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: what was a defensive lead game was important. And that

275
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: is another value if not talked about with the run game.

276
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: It allows you to kind of when you need to

277
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: slow down, take a breather, you hopefully can. But what

278
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: did what did Mike have to say about what the

279
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,359
Speaker 1: Vikings were doing in the red zone specifically?

280
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he I mean, when the field shrinks like that,

281
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 3: it's like the margin of error shrinks too. And he

282
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: kind of talked about they were out executing them in

283
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: the red zone and I think that's like the main

284
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: point that he made. He didn't really get into too

285
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: many specifics, but he just kind of said, like they

286
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: brought it in the red zone and the Falcons were

287
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: just having a hard time getting anything going in the

288
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: red zone that ultimately turned into six points on the board.

289
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: Like and I think that he did say he was like,

290
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: you know, I do need to go back and I

291
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: need to watch it.

292
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: That's something that always comes up.

293
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: I feel like in these post game press conferences that

294
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: like it's so fresh, it's really difficult to like really

295
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: hone in on specific issues or specific things that popped up.

296
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 3: But he did say that ultimately it's an execution thing.

297
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: And he also kind of talked about the early in

298
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: the game and the crowd noise and the procedural penalties

299
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: and he said he actually said like that's on me,

300
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: that's on that he kind of took. He kind of

301
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: took a lot of responsibility for those, and he said

302
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: it was a miscommunication kind of on his end as well.

303
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: And so he's like, those are things that we need

304
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: to clean up. Red zone production is something that they

305
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: need to clean up. So he was very open and

306
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: honest about the mishues that the Austin had, but also

307
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: feeling like they do have an opportunity to move forward

308
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: in a in a better space.

309
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got two, two more for you, So we'll

310
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: move quickly through these two. But uh, on the broadcast

311
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: for you, I couldn't see the coverage. I know this

312
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: is something you're your keen eye as always looking for.

313
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Were they taking away Drake and Darnell because it was

314
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: not a big night from those two guys.

315
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they were kind of doing something similar to

316
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: what Tampa was doing where they were putting a cap

317
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: on the they.

318
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Were going to felt very similar. It's just like there's

319
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: nothing downfield.

320
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: Nothing downfield. They were completely taking that away. I also

321
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: think that they were doing a good job, especially early

322
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: in the first in the first half, in totality of

323
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: there were not a lot of routes that were able

324
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: to manifest.

325
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: There weren't a lot of.

326
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: Ice getting to the top of their routes, simply because

327
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: of the pressure that was on Michael Pennocks, like within

328
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: zero point two seconds, you know, like it felt like

329
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: in the moment, I'm gonna have to go back and watch,

330
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: but it felt like, especially in the first three quarters,

331
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: that the pressure was on Michael Pennocks from the get go.

332
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: And I think that that kind of coupled with the

333
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: whole fact that they were really taking away the deep threat.

334
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: I think teams know that that's what the Falcons want

335
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: to do. They want to push the ball down the

336
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: field with Michael Pennocks and the arm talent that he has,

337
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: so then taking that away it kind of reinforces that

338
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: the Falcons have to really truly rely on their run

339
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: game to be their generator for production. If if they're

340
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: going to take away the explosives downfield for Michael Pennick Junior, like,

341
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: they have to counteract that with some short quick outs,

342
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: which you saw them do very early in the first half,

343
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: and also the run game just taking over in the

344
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: second half and really bleeding that clock down when it

345
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: was a pretty close game up until the very very end.

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I set up top. You know, the Falcons showed

347
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: tonight they can win when forced to play left handed.

348
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: You know, I forgot at the time Michael Pennix is

349
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: actually left handed. But you know it's besides the fact.

350
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Really quick, did Raheem Morris have any update on AJ Trell?

351
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: No, no update on AJ Trell. It is a hamstring injury,

352
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: which I'm pretty sure everybody knows that, but I imagine

353
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: with those soft tissue injuries, I wouldn't be surprised if

354
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: if we kind of go through the week and we

355
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 3: don't really know that much about his status overall, it'll

356
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: be something to monitor for sure, though.

357
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: And that is the whistle. All right, Tor, you've got

358
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: a bus to cat Thank you for taking time to

359
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: top on. We're going to try to do this for

360
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: away games this season. So this was a successful first

361
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: go great team win, Enjoy, have a safe flight back.

362
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: Thank you.

363
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 3: I'll see all in Atlanta.

364
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: All right, we have heard from Tory. We are back

365
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: for the fourth quarter. And yeah, I just am so awestruck,

366
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: frankly by Jean Robinson. And I shouldn't be by this

367
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: point because I've seen it and I shouldn't be surprised,

368
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: and yet I still am. Every single time I watch

369
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: him do what he does. I mean, whether it's the

370
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: first play, whether it's kind of a third play where

371
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: it was like an inside zone that he bounced outside

372
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: and he just slips tackles, and every single time he

373
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: does stuff that is so electrifying. So I just kind

374
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: of started thinking about who in my life have I

375
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: seen who is capable of putting up, you know, one

376
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty eight yards in a given game from scrimmage.

377
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: That's his third most in his career, by the way.

378
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: And you know, it's a short list of players pretty

379
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: much from the twenty first century, because that's the time

380
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: that my memory is watching the Falcons works. So I'm

381
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: just gonna kind of share him with you here. I

382
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: guess it's maybe in some kind of particular order, but

383
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: it not too much thought was given to this, right,

384
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: But Alan Rossam was a guy who kind of came

385
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: to mind as a former returner. He was just one

386
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: of the most dynamic return men in the league during

387
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: his era. And as a kid, I loved watching him.

388
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: My mom called him awesome Rossam and so I always

389
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: just kind of loved him for that reason as well.

390
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: Brent Grimes, I mean, who the matchup between Calvin Johnson

391
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: and Brent Grimes optimist Grimes versus Megatron. Oh my god,

392
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: that was legendary. He could jump out of the building.

393
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he has to be on this list. Julio

394
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: Jones of course, right like he's still I think has

395
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: the most two hundred and fifty plus yard games in

396
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: NFL history. That diving touchdown against Tampa was incredible. The

397
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: leaping catch over Luke Keiklee was in incredible, Like his

398
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: first touchdown against Indianapolis was incredible. Then Jon Robinson He's

399
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: on this list. What he did tonight outstanding, just outstanding.

400
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: He's added an element to his game as a receiver

401
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: that I really really like as well. Michael Vick, He's

402
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: obviously first on this list, right he is mister electric,

403
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: mister dynamic as an Atlanta Falcon. But but Jhon Robinson

404
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: is is on that list. I mean I had a

405
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: number two. You could quibble with, Julio, maybe Taylor Gabriel's

406
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: on this list. You know, there's some other names that

407
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: come to mind, Antoine Smith deep cut out there for y'all,

408
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: But Jean Robinson is on the shortest possible list of

409
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: no freaking way, they just did that players in Falcon's history.

410
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: So wanted to share that with you guys, because he

411
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: deserves just a little bit more of a shout out

412
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: in this episode for what he did tonight. But now

413
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: I want to bring on a very special member of

414
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: our podcast network. He's been behind the scenes, absolutely kicking

415
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: butt for a It is Jared call Jared producer Jared,

416
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: as we have called you on the show before. How

417
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: you doing, man, I'm doing great.

418
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: The classic producer with the crappy audio setup, so don't

419
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: mind that. But yeah, thanks thanks for having me on.

420
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 4: It's good to get a voice on the airwaves.

421
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: I guess there you go. Yeah, what'd you think of

422
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: tonight's game?

423
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: It was electric.

424
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 4: A lot of people, I think a lot of my

425
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 4: family were reaching out being like, wow, what a snoozer

426
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 4: for a Sunday night football game.

427
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: But the defense, the defense was not snooze it. This

428
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: was absolutely electric.

429
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 4: It was so fun to see Billy Bowman, Xavier Watts

430
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 4: get their first NFL picks. You got your first sacks

431
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 4: for James Pierce Junior and Jalen Walker, Like, it was

432
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 4: absolutely electric.

433
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: I was a little bit worried in the first half.

434
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 4: I think we all were going into halftime after the

435
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: Monday night football game last week with JJ McCarthy ealing

436
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 4: this big second half comeback, the two down two scores

437
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, Like, I was a little bit nervous.

438
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 4: But the Falcons just they did not let up the

439
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: pass rush. I mean apart from the big pass to

440
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson's right before halftime, Like that was really it

441
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 4: for the Vikings offense. So I was really really impressed

442
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: with the Falcons defense tonight.

443
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: That's such a great point because you know, when they

444
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: stalled out in the red zone in the first half

445
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: a few times, I just kept thinking to myself, Man,

446
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: that other shoe is dropping, right. This always happens is

447
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: you leave those missed opportunities on the table and the

448
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: other team comes back and makes you pay eventually. This

449
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: is the NFL. We know what this is. We've seen

450
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: this movie before, Jared, and especially last week with what

451
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy did. One of the first notes I wrote

452
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: down in the first quarter was all right, JJ's got

453
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: some baker to him, because it was kind of that

454
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: first scramble where he steffed the ball out there at

455
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: the last second, and I was like, oh, he's got

456
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: some sneaky little to him. And man, credit again to

457
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: Parker Romo. Just like in those moments, what you have

458
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: to do is just keep adding points when you have

459
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity. At least it's not zero in three, right,

460
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: So to just have that drum beat. What do you

461
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: think of park Romo tonight?

462
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's absolutely crazy. Like it was, let's say

463
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: it was the postgame interview. They're doing with Romo.

464
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 4: He's standing next to like Leonard Floyd, but John Robinson.

465
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: He didn't even know Leonard Floyd's name.

466
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 4: Like, this guy has been here for less than a

467
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 4: week and he comes in and just nails what with.

468
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: Five field goals like that.

469
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040
