Tory with the offense, a huge day once 22 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: again from Kirk Cousins. He was nineteen of twenty four 23 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: for two hundred and twenty two yards with three touchdowns 24 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: and zero interceptions. 25 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: What did you see from Kirk out there? 26 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 4: He was everything that we, I think thought he would 27 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 4: be as you were going into the season and as 28 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 4: the Falcons acquire him, it was like, Okay, what can 29 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 4: this offense look like with Kirk Cousins in the pocket? 30 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 4: And how he progresses through this offense, and how he 31 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 4: gets the ball in the hands of his playmakers, and 32 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 4: how he says he's the point guard and he's just 33 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 4: trying to get the ball to his shooting guards. Like 34 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 4: all of these things are the things that we've been 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 4: talking about for a long time, ever since the moment 36 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: we knew Kirk Cousins was coming to Atlanta, and I 37 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 4: think that we're actively seeing it. And I know something 38 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 4: that I wrote about last week in my notebook was 39 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 4: about how he's getting this. He's becoming more and more 40 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 4: comfortable in this offense and understanding at a greater amount 41 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: what it takes to maneuver through this offense, what it 42 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 4: takes to get the ball in the hands of his playmakers. 43 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 4: And there are a lot of moments today where I 44 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 4: felt that connection in full swing. I mean the touchdown 45 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 4: to Drake London, the deep ball to Darnell Mooney right 46 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 4: off the top every moment of Bjhon Robinson and everything 47 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 4: that Kirk Cousins said I think in the postgame was 48 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: so indicative of the more he is talking about Drake 49 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 4: London and how he feels like those high point balls 50 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: are not something that he's thrown him very often, and 51 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: he wanted to incorporate more of that, and he said 52 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 4: that this week, and the fact that that touchdown pass 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: was exactly what Drake London does best. He high points 54 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: the ball, he puts it up there, Drake goes up 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 4: and gets it. 56 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 5: And then he talks about. 57 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: You know, Darnal Mooney and feeling good about where he 58 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: is and how b Jhon Robinson can get involved in 59 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: the past game and how that's something he's wanted and 60 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: all in this is just encompassing what I think we 61 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 4: saw from the offense today. 62 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was at one point Kirk was thirteen straight completions, 63 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: and you know, I think back to the very start 64 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: of the season when everything was new, new offense, kind 65 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: of new receivers, new quarterback of course, and you just 66 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: saw some of the miscues and tarn I mean that 67 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: touchdown passed to Darnell Mooney on fourth down, he let 68 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: that ball go like five seconds. It felt like before 69 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: Darnell was even open and running down the sideline, and 70 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: it was in the perfect spot at the perfect time. 71 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: I think it fully encapsulates the growth we've seen from 72 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins so far this season. Does it feel like 73 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: he just is much more comfortable with all of the 74 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: players and kind of weapons at his disposal. 75 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: I think so. And it's funny that you reference back 76 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: to like the beginning of this season. It's like, remember 77 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 3: when we were talking about his achilles. 78 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: Not anymore what achilles, But. 79 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you mentioned the touchdown, but I was 80 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: thinking of just a regular play earlier in the game 81 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: where he threw it up to Darnell and when the 82 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: ball was released there was no one in the vicinity. 83 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 5: Still kind of like where it was going. 84 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: Then Darnell finishes route and is right there and you 85 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: were like, oh wow, Like it's that complete trust in 86 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: his receivers to be where they're supposed to be and 87 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: credit to them too for doing that. 88 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think I remember the exact play 89 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: that you're referencing. It was kind of like Darnell did 90 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: an inbreaking kind of move and then cut back outside 91 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: and yeah, when Darnell's shoulders were like. 92 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: Facing the opposite way to. 93 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: The Falcons bench, Kirk let the ball go and then 94 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Darnell breaks back outside and catches 95 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: it right on the Cowboys sideline. So it was the 96 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: type of throw that Matt Ryan would make with Julio 97 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: and just after years of working together knowing where they're 98 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: going to be, that he that Kirk and Darnell have 99 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: already developed that type of chemistry in such short amount 100 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: of time is such a testament to I think both players. 101 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: And when you look at Kirk's overall day, he had 102 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: a plus eleven point three percent completion percentage over expectation 103 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: in this game according to Next Gen Stats, which is 104 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: his highest in a game this season. And again, I 105 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: think that just really solidifies kind of the point that 106 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: we have been dancing around, which is just they're locked 107 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: in right now. He has a level of trust and 108 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: the guys are making plays and rewarding him. But somebody 109 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: else who is a joy to watch every single week 110 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: and is rewarding all of us for seeing him in 111 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: a Falcons uniform, and that's but John Robinson. He had 112 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: a career high with twenty six touches on Sunday Toy. 113 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 2: I mean, how good was number seven out there? 114 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 4: Very good, especially when you consider the fact that the 115 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 4: Falcons were without Drake London for majority of the game. 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 4: He goes out of the game with a hip injury 117 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 4: after that touchdown, and I think, especially with the way 118 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: that Dallas was guarding against Kyle Pitts, I think when 119 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 4: Drake London went out, they really morphed to like, Okay, 120 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 4: we saw what Kyle Pitts did against Tampa Bay's secondary 121 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 4: last week. We're not going to let Kyle Pitts beat us. 122 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: And so that to me was what I saw from Dallas. 123 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 4: I know a lot of people were making a big 124 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 4: to do about Kyle Pits only being targeted once, but 125 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 4: I thought Dallas did a good job of taking him away. 126 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 4: But I thought the Falcons did a better job of 127 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: utilizing a different person to make up for the fact 128 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 4: that Drake. You don't have Drake London out there, and 129 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 4: they're taking away Kyle Pitts, and that was Bajon Robinson. 130 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 5: And I think something that. 131 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 4: Is going to be overlooked in all of this was 132 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 4: the versatility of which Bajon Robinson showed us who he 133 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: is and who he can be against this Dallas team. 134 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 4: He did a little bit of everything and did it 135 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: a little bit of everything. 136 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: Well. 137 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: I think, tarn this was a stat in your story 138 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 4: that's going to run on Monday morning, but something along 139 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 4: the lines of every single time he touched the ball, 140 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 4: whether it was run or a pass, he was averaging 141 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 4: over five yards every single time he touched the ball, 142 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: and he touched the ball a ton. Half of what 143 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 4: the Falcons were doing offensive involved with John Robinson, and 144 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 4: that was for the betterment of the offense as a whole. 145 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 4: And I think that bodes well for feeling for the 146 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: feelings of this offense and feeling like you're you're going 147 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 4: in the right direction because you look at every single 148 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 4: person on this offense, they're putting up career best numbers, 149 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 4: whether it's Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts, Bajon Robinson. 150 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 5: Definitely, I mean he's on track. 151 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 4: To be well shoot well past what his rookie season 152 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: was in terms. 153 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Of his numbers. 154 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, in terms of a statistical standpoint, I knew you would, Tarren. 155 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: I like numbers. 156 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 5: This command nerd. 157 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: But since you asked, So Bajon right now is averaging 158 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: nineteen point two touches and one hundred three point nine 159 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: yards per game. If he continues that, he's on track 160 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: to have three hundred twenty seven touches in one seven 161 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty six offensive yards by the end of 162 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: the season. 163 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: That's crazy. 164 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: And last season he had to one four hundred and 165 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: sixty three yards, So he's easily going to top that bar. 166 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 5: Nothing happens. 167 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, if he continues on this, on this structory, Yeah, 168 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: that's just like play numbers. Yeah, there's a lot of 169 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: like outside factors and whatnot. But what was interesting is 170 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: talking to him in the locker room afterward, is that 171 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: the game has slowed down for him. So when you 172 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: see him able to like dip and dive through defenders 173 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: and whatnot, it's because he's just really quick with processing 174 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: what's happening in the moment. He's like, if I see something, 175 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 3: I take it, like he doesn't stop to question it. 176 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: And he's saying that he's a lot more confident this season, 177 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: which makes sense. It's like year two. Anyone's more confident 178 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: in year two than they are year one. But you're 179 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: seeing that play out in action and in real life, 180 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: and the numbers are proving it too. Love when the 181 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 3: numbers line up with what they're saying. 182 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 5: It's funny because I'm curious. 183 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 4: We'll probably know this more on Monday in kind of 184 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 4: the post mortem of the game and looking back at 185 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 4: post mortems. He's stats, but I'm still in the Halloween mood, 186 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 4: but I would love to know what his mistackle right 187 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 4: was and also how many he forced and how many 188 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 4: yards after Carrie he had, because it felt like in 189 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 4: the moment it was a lot. I know he had 190 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 4: a lot against Carolina. I think that was his most 191 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 4: mistackles in a singular game if. 192 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 5: I'm remembering correctly. 193 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 4: But we all know how elusive he can be, and 194 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 4: that I felt like was on full display tonight against Dallas. 195 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually it's really scary to hear him say 196 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: that the game is slowed down because even as a rookie, 197 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: like one of the very shoot at Texas, but like 198 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: the first thing you noticed when he set foot on 199 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 2: the practice field in training camp as a rookie was like, Wow, 200 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 2: this guy's ability to cut to the Yeah, it looks 201 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: like he is operating on one point two to five 202 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: speed around everybody else, and so then to hear him say, like, no, 203 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: now that one point twenty five is like a one 204 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: point five or one point seventy five because it's just 205 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 2: slowing down around him that much more Like that is 206 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: got to be so frightening if you're an NFL defender. 207 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 2: But the big question I think we had about Bijon 208 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 2: coming into the season was could he be a war course, 209 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 2: could he really be a lead back in the backfield. 210 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: You know, part of that was because of Tyler Algier's presence, 211 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: and you know, he's still a great running back in 212 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: his own right. But I think we are starting to 213 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: see in the Carolina game, in a game like today, 214 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: the Bajean Robinson can be a little bit of the 215 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: drum beat of your offense when you need to lean 216 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 2: on him in that way. And he is currently fourth 217 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 2: thanks to Sekwan Barkley having another big game in the 218 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: afternoon slate after the Falcons wrapped up their game. God, 219 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: I still can't get over his backwards hurdle, Like talking 220 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: about the game down for you, that's he and not 221 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: even the same species. That's not fair a great question, 222 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 2: but he's Bajeon is currently fourth right behind Saquon in 223 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: in yards from skirmish this season. And it's the evolution 224 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: that kind of Christian McCaffrey role that we heard about 225 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: all off season with Bijon in this offense. 226 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: So he's had four consecutive games with one hundred or 227 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 4: more scrimmage yards. Yeah, like that just goes to show 228 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 4: you that things are ramping up with this offense, that 229 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 4: Zach Robinson's getting more comfortable with it, Kirk, Cousins, Bajon, 230 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 4: everybody collectively has a better feel for who this offense 231 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 4: is and what it wants to be, and that includes 232 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 4: Bijon Robinson. 233 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 5: And I think those numbers speak to that. 234 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 3: And it's just insane because he's doing that and yet 235 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: Kirk is still putting up the numbers he is, So 236 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 3: it's not even like it's like a run heavy. 237 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: They're so versatile. 238 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: This offense has so many different ways to attack you, 239 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: which the best offenses do, and it's awesome to see, 240 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: and you know it was it was really cool in 241 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: stretches to see what this group looks like when they're 242 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: not kind of putting themselves back behind the eight ball 243 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: with some of those penalties and Taren, I know that's 244 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: been something you and I have talked about and some 245 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 2: of the preview shows on Friday kind of going into 246 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: each weekend is like, what do we want to see 247 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: get cleaned up this team? And a lot of times 248 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 2: it's the penalties, it's those self inflicted mistakes. They did 249 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: have three offensive penalties on Sunday, but all came in 250 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: the first half and then it was quiet. 251 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was all good. 252 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: I definitely did roll my eyes upon the first penalty 253 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 3: because I was like, oh, here we go again. But 254 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 3: the fact that they all came in the first half 255 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: shows that like that halftime correction was made, or just 256 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 3: like that mental upgrade, mental switch, whatever you want to 257 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 3: call it, where you just come out in the second 258 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: half in a different mode that came into play because 259 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: they were clean in the second half, and your hope 260 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: is that you're cleaning the first half of the next game, 261 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: you're cleaning the second half of the next game. 262 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: Like it just keeps. 263 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 3: Going rather than popping back up in similar ways in 264 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: a negative way. 265 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: I think beyond penalties, the bigger story of this was 266 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 4: the four of thirteen on third down. I think that 267 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 4: the Falcons may be fit that little penalty bug that 268 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 4: they that they got bit with, especially against Seattle. But 269 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 4: I do believe they need to be better on third 270 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 4: down because even though they're two for two on fourth 271 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 4: down and one of those included a long touchdown pass 272 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 4: to darn Old Mooney, and they have been good on 273 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: fourth down, they definitely are very aggressive and going after 274 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 4: it on fourth down and converting those that third down 275 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 4: percentage of four of thirteen, which I guess could be 276 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 4: closer to six of thirteen if you were to include 277 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: third and fourth down, uh, but did not have to 278 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: put yourself in those positions. Yeah, And what's funny is 279 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 4: I felt like looking at that four of thirteen on 280 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 4: third down, I didn't feel that way while I was 281 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 4: watching this offense. 282 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 5: I did not feel that they weren't converting. 283 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: Their numbers in general didn't really line up with what 284 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: I was like looking at for Sean Sunday when I 285 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 2: looked back then, and it was like they only ran 286 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: like fifty six plays. They were only averaging like you 287 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: know whatever. It felt less and in the real what we. 288 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 5: Were seeing in real time. 289 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 4: And I think that was something Someone even tweeted me 290 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 4: because I was talking about how I felt like this was. 291 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 5: A true complete win or a complete game bye by 292 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 5: this team. It was a complete team win. 293 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 4: And someone was like, essentially like, what are you talking about? 294 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 4: Look at the box score. But the box score to 295 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: me didn't didn't change how I felt about what I saw. 296 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: It's because stats are forty. 297 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 4: According to Raheem, But you know, sometimes I do think 298 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 4: that's me. There is I mean, just looking at it, 299 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 4: there are multiple style lines where you look at like, oh, 300 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 4: the Cowboys should have been the Cowboys were better in 301 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: these certain situations, they should have scored more points or 302 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 4: blah blah blah. Yeah, but that's not ever, how I 303 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 4: felt while I was watching it. It really did feel 304 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 4: like the Falcons had control. 305 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 5: Of the game. Yes, from their second drive onward. 306 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: And that's that's the important thing, right, that's another way 307 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: to win. Yeah, Like the reason Dallas had as many 308 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: yards as they did and what it's they were empty calories. 309 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: They weren't amounting to anything and they had to play 310 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: catch up. This was one of the first times all 311 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: season that the Falcons really got out to a lead 312 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: and then just kind of maintained that lead, you know, 313 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: they built upon it in the second half. It was 314 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: it was just it was nice to see. And I 315 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: think that also played into some of the lower numbers 316 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: because in the second half they kind of could focus 317 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: more on the time and the clock and salting the 318 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: game away. 319 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: I don't even think the score reflects what we saw necessarily. 320 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, that last touchdown that Dallas scored kind of felt 321 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: like me, okay. 322 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an ideal because it's a one score game, 323 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: but like looking at it throughout the game that like. 324 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: Could this go weird? 325 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 5: Could this go bad? It wasn't there. 326 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 3: It was like, I what, I turned my recap and 327 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: do you with eleven minutes left in the fourth quarter 328 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: before that last touchdown? 329 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 4: I like it. 330 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: I get to watch like I just simply watch. And 331 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: so yeah, I can admit in certain instances the numbers 332 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 3: don't tell the whole story. 333 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: I know it said it. It's on the record. 334 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 4: There's so many times where I'm talking to Teraren about 335 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 4: stats and I was. 336 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 5: Like, but but but why, like why does this stat matter? 337 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 5: Or tell me like why it matters or why we're 338 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 5: using it or anything like that, And I just like 339 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 5: the number. 340 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 4: And I know Tarren loves the stats, but to hear 341 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 4: you say that sometimes they can't. I've always been a 342 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 4: firm believer like stats can always be manipulated. Yeah, and 343 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 4: this was a game in which I didn't feel like 344 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 4: the stats aligned with what we were seeing. 345 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: You're gonna like clip that part of when I said 346 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 3: it and make it my ring tone. 347 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 5: I I surely am, or I'm gonna have like a 348 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 5: buzzer like that. I'm gonna every single time you come 349 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 5: in to my officers is gonna go. 350 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 4: It's just gonna be you saying stats sometimes don't matter. 351 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 5: I'm gonna give it to Bradley Pinion. 352 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: To punt the stats that do matter though in this one. Yeah, 353 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 2: look at that stay. Three sacks On Sunday against Dallas. 354 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: Raheem said in the locker room, we can hit the quarterback, 355 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 2: which now, so, in in case he didn't know, the 356 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: Falcons can hit the quarterback. This is the single game 357 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: high so far for them this season. On lib Katie 358 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: started things off, then Greedy Jarrett on the very next 359 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: play got a sack of his own, and then Cayden 360 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: Ellis also had a sack. He led the team with 361 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 2: five pressures on fifteen pass rush snaps. Was Kaden Ellis, 362 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 2: So I think we can probably start with Cayden because 363 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: you know, Tori, he's been I think, your favorite player 364 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: like all season long. 365 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to toot my own horn, but 366 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to. I hope that y'all go back and 367 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: listen to kind of what I was saying or what 368 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 4: we were saying in training camp about the uses of 369 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 4: Caiden Ellis. It was going to be important how this 370 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 4: defense used Cayden because I felt like his strength as 371 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 4: a defender isn't necessarily just in your normal inside linebacker 372 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 4: mike linebacker role. It's coming off the edge, it's being 373 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 4: over the A gap or the B gap, it's coming 374 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 4: off the interior line. It's it's kind of being and 375 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 4: doing a bunch of different things, particularly in pass rush. 376 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 5: And at one point, I believe. 377 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 4: This was last week or the week before last, he 378 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 4: actually was the Falcons leader in total quarterback pressures and 379 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 4: was the only off ball line It was the Falcons 380 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 4: were the only team in the NFL with an off 381 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 4: ball linebacker who led the team in pressures. And that's 382 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 4: because of the way that Cayden Ellis is used. He's 383 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 4: not used in a traditional way, and that's something we've 384 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 4: been talking about for months and months and months, So 385 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 4: to finally see him get to the quarterback in a 386 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 4: true pass rush situation I thought was indicative of like final. 387 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 4: It was almost like a finally type of moment. I 388 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 4: think even when I asked Rahim Morris about Caden's usage 389 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, he said like, yeah, we're 390 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 4: really glad about his pressures, but like we need him 391 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 4: to get home. And I think he was able to 392 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,479 Speaker 4: do that today. And I mean thirteen total tackles mattered. 393 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 4: I think he had two or three quarterback hurries and 394 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 4: then the sack. He played very, very well today and 395 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 4: it was a game that the Falcons needed him to 396 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: and it was a game in which the pass rush 397 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 4: kind of needed a boost, because that's the only thing 398 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 4: that I feel like we have been nitpicking about this 399 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 4: team in recent weeks and kind of being like, if 400 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 4: the Falcons pass rush doesn't get it together, it's going 401 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 4: to be the difference in then winning and losing games. 402 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 4: And today it felt like it helped them immensely on 403 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: multiple occasions. I mean Dallas, we talk about Falcons third 404 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 4: down conversions, Dallas was worse. They were three of thirteen 405 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 4: and one for five on fourth down. This defense showed 406 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: up and played to the way that I thought that 407 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 4: they would from a defensive front perspective. So all of 408 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 4: that to say, this was good, but can they do 409 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 4: it again? 410 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 5: Like that's the big thing we're talking about. 411 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: All this in summary, it was good. 412 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 4: In summary, this was good, but like I'm not gonna 413 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 4: believe it until you do it again. Like the fact 414 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 4: of the matter. The truth of the matter is they've 415 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 4: played eight games where the pass rush hasn't really done 416 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 4: all that much. This is the one time in nine 417 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 4: games that they have and it's been obvious. See if 418 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: you can do it again, if you can do it again, 419 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 4: and you can prove to me that you can get 420 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 4: after the pass rusher in multiple weeks, in multiple situations, 421 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 4: in multiple games, then then we'll stop talking about it. 422 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 5: What's so crazy for me is to see how much. 423 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 3: Love and like recognition naturally that Cayden Ellis gets. Because 424 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 3: when I was in New Orleans, he was third on 425 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 3: the depth chart, and here he is number one because 426 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 3: he was behind Tomorrow Davis and Pete Warner, And so 427 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 3: when Warner got hurt and kyd and Ellis swooped in, 428 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 3: everyone was kind of like, what's this guy gonna do? 429 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 3: Like this kid didn't Idaho. Yeah, he didn't really have 430 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 3: special team so much experience whatsoever on the defensive side. 431 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 3: So it's it's good to see him now get the 432 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 3: attention and whatnot that he deserves. And to Mario Davis 433 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 3: said it best that Cayden Ellis was the best kept 434 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 3: secret in the NFL because now he's not a secret. 435 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's a real testament to Atlanta's 436 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: defensive scheme because I like a lot of people would 437 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: look at that Caden's stat that he's kind of leading 438 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: the team in pressures as like an indictment on the 439 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: you know, pure pass rushers quote unquote for this team. 440 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 2: But if anything, it's like when when the coaching staff 441 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: is saying, hey, we're looking at everything, We're doing what 442 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: we can to try to manufacture some pressures. Things like that, 443 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 2: like Cayden Is example one A, I use him why 444 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: why was great at that? And it's it's benefective. Today's 445 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: episode of Falcons Final Whistle is brought to you by Zaxby's. 446 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: And after a long game, when I'm tired and I 447 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: need to refuel, I turned his Zaxbies their marinated, handbreaded, 448 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 2: fried to perfection chicken fingers. They get the spot every time. 449 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 2: Get yours with seasoned crinkle fries, a nice drink in 450 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: whichever of their twelve signature sauces you're feeling at the moment, 451 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: but it always hits just right. So next time you 452 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 2: need to refuel, go get yourself some Zaxbies. Something else 453 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: that was very clear today was the complimentary football. You know, Tori, 454 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: you wrote about this being a complete team win twice 455 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: when the Falcons forced a turnover on downs, of which 456 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 2: they did three times on Sunday, but after two of those, 457 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 2: the offense took the ball right back, went down and 458 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: scored a touchdown. I mean, it was really kind of 459 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: like picking up the baton and just keeping it rolling. 460 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: When the defense made a big play, the offense kind 461 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: of responded, and vice versa. You know, when Dallas's defense 462 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: made a big play, Atlanta's defense kind of came right 463 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 2: back and stood up, as they have so far this 464 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 2: season so many times. So I thought, the complimentary aspect 465 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: of this team is starting to come along in the 466 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: ways that you want it to. 467 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 4: The best example of this in this game was coming 468 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 4: out of halftime, the defense forces the three and out. 469 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 4: The Cowboys tried to enact a fake punt. Natron Brooks, 470 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 4: who got recently called up from the practice squad, makes 471 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: the play, almost had an interception, and then the Falcons 472 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 4: get the ball on the Dallas thirty eight and one, two, three, 473 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 4: four or five plays later, they're in the end zone. 474 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 4: That is all three units working collectively together within a 475 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 4: five minute span. And I think that moment was the 476 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 4: moment were actually wrote down is this all coming together? 477 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 5: Because that's what it felt like in that moment. 478 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 4: That it the juxtaposition of going from the last home 479 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 4: game that they have, which was against the Seattle Seahawks, 480 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 4: and losing that game thirty four to fourteen, and we're 481 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 4: talking about how that was a complete team loss because 482 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 4: there were miscues on offense, defense, and special teams in 483 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: that game, to now completely turn it around two weeks later, 484 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 4: using the example of Seattle that Raheem Morris said postgame, 485 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 4: he was like, yeah, I talked to them about the 486 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 4: Seattle loss. That's your example of what not to do. 487 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 4: That's what happens when you don't show up with the 488 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 4: right mindset with an NFC opponent coming into town. So 489 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 4: Seattle was on a three game louds street coming into 490 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 4: that game. Dallas is on a two losing street coming 491 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 4: into this game. 492 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 5: The Falcons were coming off of a. 493 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 4: Road win against Carolina in Week seven, coming off a 494 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 4: road win against Tampa in Week nine. Like, there were 495 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 4: so many parallels to this game, but ultimately the ending 496 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 4: was different because I think the challenge was right, like, 497 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 4: don't let an NFC opponent come into your house and 498 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 4: take a win from you when. 499 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 5: You should beat them. That's the thing. On paper. 500 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: The Falcon beat the Seattle Seahawks going into that game, 501 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 4: and they should have beaten the Dallas Cowboys. 502 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 5: They did do that. 503 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: Some negatives from today's game, and that was the injuries. 504 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 2: Drake London left the game after his touchdown catch in 505 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 2: the first quarter with a hip injury and was later 506 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: ruled out. Grady Jarrett left the game in the third 507 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: quarter with an achilles strain and he was also. 508 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: Later ruled out. 509 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: You know, did Raheem Morris have anything an update or 510 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 2: anything on the injuries after the game? 511 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 1: Turn No, no, short and sweet always. 512 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 3: I know, once we talked to professionals, I'll have a 513 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: better idea. 514 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 515 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 4: I also think like but you're never gonna like how 516 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 4: many times I know you have to ask about it 517 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 4: after a game, but like, how many times do you 518 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 4: actually get an answer on the extent of injuries within 519 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 4: the first fifteen minutes of the game ending? 520 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I agree. 521 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to ask and you know, hey, I 522 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 2: got to ask if the head coach Saidney and he 523 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: did not. But I will ask you, Tory, which of 524 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 2: these injuries you know is gonna sit with you and 525 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: is maybe more concerned? 526 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: Are you more concerned about I should say looking forward? 527 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not. 528 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 4: I'll be honest, I'm not too terribly concerned about either 529 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 4: of them. I think the Falcons have been very the 530 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 4: coaching staff particularly has been very honest that they keep 531 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 4: guys out for precautionary reasons, like if they're going through 532 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 4: something like they're not like if they don't feel very 533 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: very compelled to throw them back out in there and 534 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 4: just have them work it out. 535 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Troy Anderson is case number one. 536 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 4: Right when they were winning, right, Chris Lindstrom in Tampa Bay, 537 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 4: like he had his knee rolled up on and he 538 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 4: never came back in and he played perfectly well today, 539 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 4: Dolmond this week. Yeah, so I think that they're very 540 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 4: they do. They do this a lot, so I'm preseason. 541 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm trying not to read too much into these. 542 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 4: I think the fact that you know, you saw I 543 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 4: was watching Drake Lennon a lot on the sidelines and 544 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 4: he's up, he's moving around, he's walking around, he's jumping 545 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 4: up and down like he seems fine. After the game, 546 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 4: there's all these pictures of Grady Jared like celebrating with 547 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 4: his teammates, and I know in the locker room Grady 548 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 4: Jared did say that he feels quote solid, and that 549 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 4: it was for precautionary reasons. I believe he told Josh 550 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 4: Kendall the athletic that he's going to get an MRI 551 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 4: on the achilles on Monday, so we'll probably know more 552 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 4: of that more about that. So overall, I'm not super 553 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: concerned about it, just because I don't think that when 554 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 4: it comes to injuries, it's been very with this coaching staff. 555 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 4: They've they've played very cautiously when it comes to injury 556 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 4: injuries and not wanting to reaggurate aggravate things, and I 557 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 4: think that's probably what's going on here. 558 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 5: If I'm just reading the tea leaves. Again. 559 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 4: We don't have anything specifically confirmed outside of what Grady 560 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 4: said in the locker room. We don't have anything confirmed 561 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 4: from the team side, but I'm sure we'll find out 562 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 4: more as the. 563 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 5: Week goes on. 564 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 2: Better safe than sorry, Yeah, yep, for sure, and that 565 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: will be some thing we monitor throughout the week, So 566 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: keep your eyes peeled on the injury reports as they 567 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 2: roll out. But certainly Raheem will be asked about that 568 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 2: again on Monday, and we will keep you guys updated. 569 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and touch back on our closest 570 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 2: to the pin game from our preview podcast. Unfortunately Anna 571 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 2: is not here with us, but it doesn't really matter 572 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 2: because she didn't win co. Let's run down really quickly, 573 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 2: who we all picked. Amna had Tyler Algier rushing yards. 574 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 2: She guessed fifty five and he finished with eighteen. Taren 575 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 2: had Jesse Bates tackles and she picked nine. He finished 576 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: with six, and sticking with our one tackle equals ten yards. 577 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: Taren was thirty yards off for that. And I had 578 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 2: Drake London receiving yards. I guessed eighty three. I really 579 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: feel like that would have been within reach. If he 580 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 2: had not left the game in the first quarter. 581 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, but he did. 582 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 2: But he did, and he with twenty seven. So Taran 583 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 2: is our winner because all of the math that I 584 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: did shows that thirty is the closest. So congratulations, tarn 585 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 2: I am not getting you a prize because I already 586 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 2: owe on a set of golf clubs that she's never 587 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: going to get. So let's go and wrap things up 588 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: with our game balls. 589 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: Tory. We'll start with you. 590 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 5: I'm going to give my game ball to Zach Robinson. 591 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 4: I think that over the course of the last probably 592 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 4: five or six games, you've really felt this offense come 593 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 4: alive and really start clicking in a way that we 594 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 4: were missing in those early games as they're trying to 595 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 4: figure each other out. And I think Zach Robinson is 596 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 4: a big part of that. And I think that this 597 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 4: offense is building confidence and building confidence quickly, and it 598 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 4: when that happens, I feel like I am more confident 599 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 4: in this offense and their ability to go out there 600 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 4: and get the job done. And for that, I feel 601 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,239 Speaker 4: like I have to give it to Zach Robinson. And 602 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 4: I'll say this, I'm gonna really deep dive this in 603 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 4: my notebook. But the fact that they've been so successful 604 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 4: on fourth down plays I think speaks to the trust 605 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 4: of every single level of the organization. Trust in Zach 606 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 4: Robinson having the right play called, trust in the players 607 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 4: being able to execute it. Trust and RhE Morris for 608 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 4: being like, yep, we're gonna go for it. Like ultimately, so, 609 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 4: I I don't know. I think that they're aggressive when 610 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 4: they need to be, in their conservative when they need 611 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 4: to be, and that I think bodes well for the 612 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 4: future of what Zach Robinson's offense is and could look like. 613 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 4: I mean, we're only nine weeks into this, We're only 614 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 4: nine games into it. I feel like it has grown. 615 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 4: My confidence in them has grown exponentially from the first 616 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 4: two or three weeks to where they are now. 617 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. 618 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: I mean they're eleven of fifteen on the season on 619 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 2: fourth down. That's either fourth or sixth in the league. 620 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: Those two numbers are I'll. 621 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 5: Look it up, everybody check it out on my notebook 622 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 5: tomorrow Monday. 623 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: But yeah, they're they're right up there among the best 624 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: in the league on fourth down. And you know they've 625 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: not only converted those they've scored touchdowns on fourth down. 626 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,239 Speaker 2: To your point toy. They they are dialing up some 627 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: one on one looks in some of these critical situations 628 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: where I feel like they're really catching teams with their 629 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: guard down against an explosive play, and while they're so 630 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: focused on stopping the Falcons from gaining like one or 631 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: two yards, the Falcons are like, fine, while you're looking 632 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: over here, We're going to go over the top for 633 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 2: forty two yards and score a touchdown on you. So 634 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 2: I do think that he has picked his spots to 635 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: get aggressive, really really well this season, and that's been 636 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: fun to watch. So, Taren, who gets here game ball? 637 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 3: I'm going to counter mcilhaney's coordinator with a coordinator and 638 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 3: I'm sure you can guess which one. 639 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy Lake, Marquise Williams. 640 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 3: Yes, Marquis, because I got to cap off my special 641 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 3: teams week with some special teams love of course, and 642 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 3: then I've done with them, Dpeci. But it was the 643 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 3: sniffing out another fake punt for me, because I mean 644 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 3: what they did that was it last week? 645 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? Literally, back literally back to about. 646 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 3: Games where the special teams unit is just on one 647 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 3: and ready, then you also had them ready to defend 648 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 3: that on side kick that could have completely changed the outcome. 649 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: So Markise Williams has his guys locked and loaded at 650 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: all times. 651 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: Oh man, the trum Brooks could have had a pick six. 652 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 2: I know, I know some people were like, oh, well 653 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 2: he dropped it, so now they actually like Dallas is 654 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 2: further back right because where they started versus where he 655 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 2: dropped the ball, Like Atlanta technically gained some but take 656 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 2: all that out the window, like if Natrons was told 657 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 2: onto that ball, yeah, he is running down the left 658 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: sideline and that is a pick six. So it could 659 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: have been an even you know, bigger day. But Dallas 660 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: had a great return unit. I thought outside of that 661 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: one return where you know they kick off return where 662 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: they kind of move the ball closer to to midfield, 663 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 2: like by and large, Atlanta handled Dallas's special teams very well. 664 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: So that's a solid game ball for Marquis. But I'm 665 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: not going to get mine to a coordinator. I'm going 666 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 2: to go ahead and give mine to Bijon Robinson, very 667 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 2: very nearly gave it to Kirk Cousins, who is a 668 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: willing game ball recipient in his own right. But you know, again, 669 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five yards on a career best 670 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: twenty six touches. Bijon Robinson is becoming kind of the 671 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: focal point of this offense in the way that everybody 672 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: had hoped he would. And now he has a great 673 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: quarterback with him and a strong passing game. So it's again, 674 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 2: it's just really cool to see how this offense is evolving. 675 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 2: But Bajon Robinson has been as advertised, and again, if 676 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 2: if the game is getting slower for him, that's just 677 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 2: a scary proposition for everybody else. So we got two 678 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: coordinators and a damn good run back who gets a 679 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: game ball? 680 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 5: Can we cuss on the podcast? 681 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 2: Now, Well, it depends on what your your leeway is 682 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: for the word damn. I kind of feel like that's 683 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 2: a that's like a preschool cuss word. Pre school, your preschool, 684 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 2: I hope. 685 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: So I should be so lucky, I should be would 686 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 1: be the proudest father. 687 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 2: About me? Yeah, So that will that will stay in. 688 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 2: But the Falcons move to six and three. They have 689 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: a strong grip on the division. Tampa Bay is set 690 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 2: to play on Monday night, so we don't yet know 691 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 2: the outcome there. But the Saints did fall to the Panthers, 692 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 2: and that is who the Falcons have on tap next 693 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: weekend in New Orleans. It'll be really interesting to see 694 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 2: what is going on with that organization throughout the week 695 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 2: in the lead up to that rematch against their hated rival, so. 696 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: Streak Crazy. 697 00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 5: The NFL trade deadline this week fifth so. 698 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 2: So that will be Tuesday, So we will definitely have 699 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: a lot to update everybody on throughout the week. We've 700 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 2: got some injuries, we've got some trade deadlines. You know, 701 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: remains to be seen what all is going to take 702 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 2: place there, but sure to be a flurry of moves 703 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 2: around the NFL, and maybe the Falcons will be among 704 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 2: those teams making the moves, but it remains to be seen. 705 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: It will make for an exciting week. 706 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,439 Speaker 2: But that was an exciting game today and we will 707 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 2: go ahead and wrap it up there.
