00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Falcons Autoward presented by A D

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: and T.

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: That's DJ Chacles.

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: He always gives the shout out to everybody that's watching,

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: and if you're not watching and you're listening, he's still

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: giving you a shout out. This is Dave Archer right here,

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: and I'm Derek Rackley. We are fresh off of the

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: first preseason game, we are fresh off the first joint

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: practice with the Tennessee Titans, and we are ready to

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: give some fresh perspectives on everything that is going on

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Falcons. Before we get into the minutia

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: all the updates, I think it's important that we say

20
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: how grateful we are that Maurice Norris from the Lions

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: is good. He is healthy, He's going to be in

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: concussion protocol they're going to take it easy with him

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: for the next ten to fourteen days. But anybody that

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: watched or saw some of the clips from the Falcons

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: preseason game, I don't know about you guys, but the

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: first thing I thought about was, hopefully this is not

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: another Dark Tomorrow Hamlin situation.

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: But it was.

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: It was pretty scary there for a little while. Just

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: we don't have to go into detail, but just kind

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: of initial thoughts as you guys saw everything unfold there

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: on the field.

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was calling the game on the radio with

34
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 3: Wes Durham, and so you're, you know, you're just gotten

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: into the fourth quarter and you start thinking about who's

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: going to play and who you're looking forward to seeing,

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: and boom, this happens, and then immediately football goes out

38
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: of your mind, and which is essentially what happened with

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: Raheem Morris and Dan Campbell. They said, hey, you know

40
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: and Dan. I saw Dan's comments postgame about how class

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: he Raheem was and how Raheem said Hey, let's not hey,

42
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: you want to let's shut this down.

43
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's.

44
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: Think about him and his family, and and that's what

45
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: they did. And I thought that it was really cool

46
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: the way they handle it.

47
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Shock.

48
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Even after the game, it was a very concerned and

49
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: somber Raheem Morris when he was asked questions and he

50
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, was very short, basically saying that this was

51
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: all about him and his family didn't really want to

52
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: entertain any questions about football. And it was probably one

53
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: of the shortest and sweetest and while sweetest probably not

54
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: the right word brief press conferences that he's had because

55
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't about what happened in the game. They can

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: talk about what happened in the game afterwards and meetings

57
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: and everything else. It was all about whether or not

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: Maurice Norris was okay. And by the way, on social

59
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: media Maurice said, I'm all good man, don't stress it.

60
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Appreciate all the check ins in love And as I mentioned,

61
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: they're going to take it nice and slow with him

62
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: for the next ten to fourteen days and just kind

63
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: of assess his health and his situation before he gets back.

64
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: On the phone.

65
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, similar to what Arts just talked about.

66
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 4: For me, my mom went went directly to the perspective

67
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: part of it. And for so long, I used to say,

68
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: for so long. But when people watched a game, they

69
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: look at it and they say, you know what, these

70
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: are guys that are playing a tough, physical game. They

71
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: make a lot of money, but you forget about these guys.

72
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: You got families, You forget about these guys have real emotions.

73
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: And you can see it from both sides. I mean,

74
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 4: both teams come together, praying in the middle of the field.

75
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: You talk about the both hey coaches coming together. You

76
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: always hear the word brotherhood. When you're in the National

77
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: Football League as we were, you know that it's a brotherhood,

78
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: not just within your team, but it's a fraternity to

79
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: play in this league, and it goes a long way.

80
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: And you see a guy go down. You always want

81
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 4: to fight and compete hard, but you never want to

82
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: see a guy injured in that kind of manner. And

83
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: he puts different perspective I think on the game and

84
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: also on players that you know what, Yeah, these guys

85
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: play a really physical game. They're playing at the delete level,

86
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: but you never want to see a guy go through

87
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: what Morris and Orts had to go through or DeMar Hamlin,

88
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 4: because it's way bigger than football once you get done

89
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 4: with it.

90
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: And I was fortunate to obviously be in the locker

91
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: room right after the game and normally talk to Raheem

92
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: on the radio and for Fox excuse me, And this

93
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: was not just something for TV. That was what he

94
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: told his team when Raheem brought the team together, he

95
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: talked exactly about what you just said and how everybody

96
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: let's make sure that we have one solid mind going

97
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: towards him and his family. And then Vijeon Robinson got

98
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: in and gave the postgame prayer and he said the

99
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: same thing in the prayer too, So that was not

100
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: some kind of, you know, put on TV thing or

101
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: something like that.

102
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: That's exactly how.

103
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: They felt class ACKed by both organizations and doing the

104
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: right thing in that moment, which was thinking about his

105
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: family and his personal safety and health moving forward. So

106
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: we are happy that he is good to go and

107
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: we look forward to seeing him back out on the

108
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: football field when the time is ready for him. All right,

109
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and change gears here. Talk about the preseason.

110
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: The first week of the preseason in the books and guys,

111
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: before we dive into the Atlanta Falcons, was there anything

112
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: from any of the other teams or any of the

113
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: other storylines or players that kind of stuck out to

114
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: you from the week that you were maybe paying attention to.

115
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Was it a Shador Sanders, Was it a Travis Hunter?

116
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: Was it anybody else from around the league that kind

117
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: of Oh, I want to see how he did, or oh,

118
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm interested how that team fared in their first preseason game.

119
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Anything come to your mind.

120
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Arch I think that.

121
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: I gravitated towards the quarterback situation. Shock. I mean, I

122
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of young quarterbacks that were getting

123
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: a chance to play. Whether it's JJ McCarthy in his

124
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: second training camp after being injured in Minnesota. We're going

125
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: to see him in week two, relive that National Championship

126
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: game of a couple of years ago with Pennix and McCarthy.

127
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 3: But just the talk and the conversation about the maturity

128
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: of these young players. We saw some guys step up

129
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: last year, you know, to the like of Jayden Daniels

130
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 3: and some that stepped up as young quarterbacks. We're hoping

131
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: our guy has a chance to do that too. So

132
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: I thought just the conversation around those guys should do,

133
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: or Sanders, how well he played? Cam Ward? Who were

134
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: seeing this week cam Ward had two drives, he had

135
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: one touchdown driving there where he had five of eight

136
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: hit Calvin Ridley two or three times in the Just

137
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: was cool to hear them talk about the maturity level

138
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: of the quarterbacks.

139
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: And what about Travis Hunter getting his first action on

140
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball in the preseason game, albeit

141
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: small sample size, but eighteen total snaps. I think it

142
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: was ten on offense, eight on defense. A lot of

143
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: people curious shock on whether or not that whole experiment

144
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: is gonna work him playing both ways in the NFL.

145
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's still something that's gonna be in

146
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 4: the works, I should say, because I just like you

147
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: mentioned limited sample size that he had in that ballgame,

148
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 4: But I think it's going to be something that people

149
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: pay attention to because you just don't see it at

150
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: this level, and you see it in college a couple

151
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 4: of times maybe, but you don't see it at this

152
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 4: level with the elite players that are at this league.

153
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: And you don't know if a guy can do that

154
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: at that kind of level for seventeen ball games. So

155
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: you know, it's gonna be interesting to see how much

156
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 4: they you know, they use him. Is he used sixty

157
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: forty on offensees he used fifty to fifty is it,

158
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: you know, throwing situation, whatever it may be. It'll be

159
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 4: able to see what they do with Travis. But I

160
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: think he's gonna be a big part of the conversation

161
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: all year long about what do they do with the

162
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: guy who you know wants to do both?

163
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: Can he do both?

164
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: The NFL is a game where the most physically gifted

165
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: players in the world excel. But what I don't think

166
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people realize is the mental capacity it

167
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: takes to perform in the NFL in one side of

168
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: the ball. Okay, think about all the stuff that you

169
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: guys had to absorb and then things that had to

170
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: just happen in real time in the snap of a

171
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: finger two or three seconds, right, And then to think

172
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: you had to do all that for the defensive side

173
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: of the ball as well, Right, So there's so much

174
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: that goes into it from a mental perspective. I'm not

175
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: saying that he can't do it, but that's gonna be

176
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: so hard because that's where you gain your edge in

177
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, is can you do all the small minute

178
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: details better than everybody else? Because guess what, everybody at

179
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: this level is great. They are fast, they are physical,

180
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: they are strong, they can make plays. It's how do

181
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: you gain an edge up here? So let's talk a

182
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: little bit about the falcon in their first preseason game,

183
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: of course, against the Lions. DJ want to come right

184
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: back to you, what kind of stuck out to you

185
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: as far as some things that you were looking for

186
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: that kind of popped off the field or popped off

187
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: the page, if you will, from some performances in that game.

188
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: I think number one, I wanted to see what this

189
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: defense was capable of. Obviously you're not gonna have all

190
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: the cast and characters you got out there, but you

191
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: can see the what the culture, what the vibe would

192
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: look like. And Rick talks about the ball is oxygen.

193
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: We talked about it last week. We talked about what

194
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: they want to do, and I thought we saw that

195
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: that was evident, Like they took the ball away a

196
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: couple of times, it got to the quarterback. Guys were

197
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: flying around, Guys were punching the ball out, and you

198
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: could tell that's just not something that's preached in the

199
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 4: meeting rooms. That's something that just preached on the practice field.

200
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: They took it from there to the actual game, and

201
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: I thought that was really cool to see. It stuck

202
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 4: out to me. You know when you watch a Brandon

203
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: Dorlan's kind of retrace your steps and come back and

204
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: you know, run down hitting hooker and hit comes. You know,

205
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: Josh Woods to punch it out and he comes, you know,

206
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: de offered to scoop it like.

207
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: It's a total team effort. Everybody flying to the football.

208
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 4: And you don't get that if you don't get it

209
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: done out here in the practice fielding you're doing these things,

210
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: you're talking about it, you're repetent. So it was good

211
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: to see some of those guys flying around making plays

212
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 4: and trying to, you know, have an influence. And I

213
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: think Josh Woods is a great kind of example of

214
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: why I love preseason because he may be a guy

215
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 4: that now Falcons fans are paying attention to now, like

216
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 4: this dude was everywhere. This dude was making tackles all

217
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: over the field. He was forcing fummos, he was you know,

218
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 4: he led the team in tackles. It's a name that

219
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: really didn't stick out when you first started and came

220
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: to camp, but now he's a guy that you saw

221
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 4: in week one like we saw last year when we

222
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 4: saw DeMarco Halem's like, yeah, we knew he drafted them,

223
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: but when you watch him play, that's a different story.

224
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: And you watch Josh Woods sitting in the middle of

225
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: that defense and he's flying around making plays on special teams,

226
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: you're like, Okay, I want to see more of this dude.

227
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 2: So I was.

228
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: I was excited to see kind of the outlying image

229
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 4: of what this defense could look like and the kind

230
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 4: of things that you know they're wanting to do. Obviously

231
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: they were very vanilla and what they wanted to do.

232
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 4: I won't go show you a lot of stuff from

233
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: a defensive coordinator scheme wise, but you love to see

234
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 4: the way the guys played and it gives you kind

235
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 4: of a picture of what when the starters get in

236
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 4: what's expected.

237
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arch a lot of defense from Shock and his observations.

238
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: What did you think?

239
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would echo a lot of that stuff from

240
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: a defensive perspective, just attitude, how fast they wanted to play.

241
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: DeMarco Hellms is a guy that embodies what Elbrick wants

242
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: to be, and he dropped the hammer a couple of

243
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: times early on. By the way, I thought the call

244
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: was completely ridiculous on him. But I thought Helms kind

245
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 3: of maybe established a tempo on the field early on,

246
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: so that was fun to see. So I'll switch it

247
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: over to the other side of the ball. I was

248
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: not pleased with our inability to run the football. I

249
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: thought that that was alarming, that there were some opportunities

250
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: there that frankly, we just didn't get people blocked up front,

251
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: didn't do it the right way. I think the young

252
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: backs are trying to run, but there just wasn't a

253
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: lot of places to go. On the other hand, I

254
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: thought Easton Stick played extremely well. I thought he did

255
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: a really good job of keeping his poise. I thought

256
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: that the receiving group that he played with, whether it

257
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: was Sills or Drumming or Blair or Nash or Skinner,

258
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: all those guys made plays, and I thought they did

259
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: a really good job of attacking the football. He made

260
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: a throw to Sills early on that extended to drive

261
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: or Sills is running an over route and the ball's

262
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: a little bit late. You know, he's like the third read.

263
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: He gets to him a little bit late, and the

264
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: defender is close enough where he can undercut it. Sills

265
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: attack the football. He lost ground back to the quarterback

266
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: to attack the ball, secure the catch, first down, move

267
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: the chains. Those kind of things stuck out to me

268
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: from an offensive standpoint, but need to run the football better.

269
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 3: But I do think that when you start thinking about it,

270
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: I know Eastern Stick. We hope Eastern Stick didn't have

271
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: to play, and you don't know what's going to happen.

272
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 3: Potentially with Kirk Cousins. You have no idea what's going

273
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: on there, with the injuries around the league, and maybe

274
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: there's a trade. You don't all that conversation that comes out.

275
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: I think you pretty feel pretty confident about Eastern Stick

276
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: if you had to play him in a game. The

277
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: dude gets up in there and go.

278
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty good first performance from him in a Falcons

279
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: uniform going out there this year and performing. I want

280
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: to say his numbers were eighty three percent completion rate

281
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: through the first half, which was pretty impressive, and he

282
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: did what he had to do. What like you talked

283
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: about the eleven carries twenty two yards in the run game,

284
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: they weren't able to count on that element, and so

285
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Easton Stick Zach Robinson said, Okay, well let's go through

286
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the air. Let's get some work and let's see if

287
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: we can move the football in that manner, and they

288
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: were able to do it. One thing I wanted to

289
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: ask you guys about defense is we did get a

290
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: chance to see for the first time a little Jalen

291
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: Walker and James Pierce on opposite sides, and those two

292
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: guys not necessarily filling up the stat sheet. But I

293
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: think you could maybe say, and we know that there's

294
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: not a lot of game planning that goes into two preseason,

295
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 1: but maybe you say that the focus from the outside

296
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: was on those two guys, which maybe that opened up

297
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: some of those opportunities for a guy like Brandon Dorles

298
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: to make some plays inside.

299
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about it. You look at the interior,

300
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 4: you know that the defensive line. That's a big topic

301
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 4: of conversation is who's gonna feel the void of a

302
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 4: greater Jerry Are She were looking forward to seeing ruker

303
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 4: r in there as well.

304
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: He played Dorle's play.

305
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: Uh. Where you talk about the two guys on the outside, obviously,

306
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 4: I think there were moments where you know, they were

307
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 4: still trying to fill out what this NFL speed, what

308
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: the physicality was gonna be like, because there were times

309
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 4: you can watch him say well, it looks like he

310
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 4: may have got ing up on this play. You're like,

311
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: oh man, he could have did something else. But there

312
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 4: are other times be like, Okay, here's both guys really

313
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: closing the edge. Here's a play where James PRIs is

314
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 4: really turning the corner forcing the quarterback up in the pocket.

315
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 4: There's a really good play. The Falcons actually have it

316
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: on their on their on their on their on their

317
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: X where you know you see jeling walker, guy comes

318
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: up trying to block him inside, he keeps his head inside,

319
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: fights off another guy and makes the tackle, falls inside

320
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: on the play, or he keeps leverage on the play.

321
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: Those are little details that they turn on the tape

322
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: and say, you know what, you played it right. You

323
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: talk about some of the minute details when you're watching

324
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 4: a guy or playing. Those are the things that coaches

325
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 4: look for, and as fans you look for the statue stuff,

326
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: all did he get his sack?

327
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: Tackle for lost?

328
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 4: All that kind of stuff is good, But in these

329
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: moments where they're getting their first start, they're getting their

330
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 4: first chance to play this level, you want to see

331
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: them do those small things correctly. And I think there

332
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: were times where both guys had opportunities to rush the

333
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: passer and you could see him get some pressure there.

334
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: I saw James Bridges had a couple pressures in the

335
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 4: ball game. Jayler's still trying to figure a couple of

336
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 4: things out with the speed of it, and you know

337
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: how to go against you know certain guys.

338
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: But they're both gonna learn, man, They're both still young.

339
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: They're going through the process and we'll see how they

340
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: get better from week one to week two.

341
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: It was evident there right at the end of the

342
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: half where you got a glimpse of the future. Pierce

343
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: on one edge, Walker on the other edge, Dorless in

344
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: a rower row inside and they were rushing a four

345
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: man pass rush. Hard rushes to the outside by both

346
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: those guys. Shoved Kyle Allen up in the pocket and

347
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: he tries to get by and Dorles strips the ball out.

348
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: Then now they fell on it and got it back.

349
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: That ended the half. But you got a four man

350
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: pass rush from the guys, the last four guys you've

351
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: drafted in the draft to play on the defensive line.

352
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: I thought that was pretty cool.

353
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: A lot of focus on the new face. But before

354
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: we end up moving on, I did want to mention

355
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Arnold A. Bakati as well. I thought he was active

356
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: in the game, and I believe he was the one

357
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: that ended up getting the red zone force fumble, which

358
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: is huge. Like once the opposing offense is driving down

359
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: the field and they get in the red zone and

360
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: not only do you get a stop, but you get

361
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: a turnover. That's huge. And he's another one of those

362
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: guys where it's like, can he have a breakout season

363
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: to where he ends up and then all of a sudden,

364
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: you got this rotation of pass rushers that can get

365
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: in there. So he showed he flashed a little bit

366
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: to me on some of the plays that he made

367
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. So continue to

368
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: see all those guys that's one preseason game this year

369
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: under their belt. How much better do they get now

370
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: that they know, Okay, this is the speed of the NFL.

371
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: This is what I have to do. I got locked

372
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: up a couple of times.

373
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: How do I.

374
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: Adjust the next time? So, speaking of a just it's

375
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: now into the next week of the preseason, and as

376
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: we mentioned, the Falcons are hosting joint practices with the

377
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans this week, so we talked a little bit

378
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: about cam Ward and his performance last week. But we

379
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: got a brand new team on the Falcons headquarters fields

380
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: and you guys got a chance to go out and

381
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: watch this first practice. So Arch, let me start with

382
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: you and say what did you see out there from

383
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: these joint practices, because it was everything from one on

384
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: ones to a whole lot of teamwork, you know, and

385
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: it's good versus good. It's different scheme, which is what

386
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Ulbrick said after practice today. When you get to

387
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: see a different scheme, that's the value and having these

388
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: joint practices. What did you see that stuck out this morning?

389
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: I thought it was a defensive day by both defenses,

390
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: and just in my opinion, I'm a shock what your

391
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: thoughts were. But it looked like both defenses were kind

392
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: of controlling the line of scrimmage and both were able

393
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 3: to get pressure on the quarterback. I thought that there

394
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: were some errant throws by both quarterbacks. I'm talking about

395
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: Penix and Ward. I'm talking about the number one guys

396
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: in particular. So I thought that the defense has had

397
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: some of theday. And I also thought that real time

398
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 3: adjustments to routes because certain one of the things you

399
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: get out of joint practice, and we talked about it,

400
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: is you're going to see a different scheme, You're going

401
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: to see a different way of playing things. And so

402
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: now my routes a lot of our routes in an offense,

403
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: as you guys both know a just based on what

404
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: I'm seeing, whether I'm sitting it down in a zone

405
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: or whether I'm playing leverage and breaking away from man coverage,

406
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 3: and teams play him differently and Tennessee plays differently defensively

407
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: than we do, and so that's what that's what's value.

408
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: Now you're getting real time information and real time adjustments

409
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: on the move, and I didn't think we did a

410
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: couple of those things very well. So there's that information,

411
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 3: that knowledge that you log back in. As far as

412
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: taking the football away, shock A continued. Took the ball

413
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: away from from Tennessee. I think what three four times today? Again,

414
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 3: I didn't see us throw did we throw a pick?

415
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: I don't think we threw any interceptions. So it took

416
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: care of the football. So you win that battle three

417
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: zero four zero. You're gonna like what you find out

418
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 3: at the end. Usually in those situations. But I do

419
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: think I felt like it was more of a defensive

420
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 3: day by both teams than it was offense.

421
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: By the way, if you didn't get a chance to

422
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: see it, Dave along with Taylor Vismore did a show

423
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: this morning and kind of briefing what was gonna happen

424
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: in the joint practices, and they also got a chance

425
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: to show a little bit of the actual one on

426
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: ones that happened. So if you didn't get a chance

427
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: to see it, go back and take a look at it.

428
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: You can see Drake London getting to go some u

429
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: some one on one, a j Terrell with a great

430
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: couple of matchups against Calvin Ridley in this morning's practice.

431
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: You want to see some.

432
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: Actual action, go back and take a look at that.

433
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: Shock what's stuck out to you from the joint practice

434
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: this morning.

435
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing is the communications that you

436
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 4: have to have between I think you know your offensive line,

437
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 4: quarterbacks and receivers seeing it on the same page and

438
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 4: ours talked about there were a couple of this is

439
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: where you know things didn't work out the way you

440
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 4: wanted to, And I got a couple examples. There was

441
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 4: one took a playing team offense where it was Falcon's

442
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 4: first team offense going against the Titans first team defense,

443
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: and they give a look and looks like they got

444
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 4: double a Gapps and they bring pressure off one side

445
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 4: and Pennings had to throw it away. Two three plays later,

446
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 4: they give the exact same look, but this time they

447
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 4: bail out of it, and Penning hits very ravy cloud

448
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 4: on a corner route and you know, they go from

449
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 4: it looks like, oh, they're bringing pressure to they're playing

450
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: cover too, And you can see the communication between Pennix

451
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 4: and the offensive line talking about pointing guys out. But

452
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 4: then there's also the communication that you don't have with

453
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: are receivers. But they also got to be on the

454
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 4: same page at the same time as oh, it looks

455
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 4: like it's man coverage. It looks like that guy's price,

456
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 4: but on the staff of the football he bails, corner goes,

457
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 4: you know, into cover two. You have to safety over

458
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 4: the top, and the ball is out right in between

459
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 4: the corner and the safety and you got a big

460
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: time completion. That's the little thing that you get from

461
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: these joint practices that's maybe a little bit different from

462
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 4: when you're going to gainst your own team because you

463
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: know what they gonna do. You know what certain looks

464
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: look like, but now you get a different look. Now

465
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: the offensive line that's communicate differently with the quarterback with

466
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: tight ends with the backs. I saw Algir pick up

467
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 4: a nice blitz then blizz period and then the situations

468
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 4: of practice is what I like to in a game.

469
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 4: You have to kind of adapt to what's happening in

470
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 4: the game out here. The coaches can dictate those situations.

471
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 4: There were a couple of times where hey, Falcons jumped

472
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 4: off Rod's like thirty fifteen, let's back it up, or

473
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 4: they get a couple of yards are at thirty six

474
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: here we go thirty sixteen. You can kind of simulate

475
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 4: what you want to see, which helps you give a look,

476
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 4: and then you can go through the process of how

477
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 4: you go through it all. So I love the details

478
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 4: in which that you watch things just happening, and then

479
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: you watch maybe a mistake like ours talks about, and

480
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: then you can see a couple of days later, you

481
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 4: overcome something that maybe hurt you a few plays ago,

482
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 4: and you're adapting, you communicating, and you.

483
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: Get through it.

484
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 4: So some of those small things for me stuck out

485
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 4: that you know offensively you overcome some things, but then

486
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: also think that you got to work on which helps.

487
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: You as you get ready for week one.

488
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of collaboration that goes into these

489
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: practices between the head coaches and the coordinators saying, hey,

490
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: what do we want to get here? What do we

491
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: want to work on? It is controlled, uh, but I

492
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: think it's also good to note for anybody that hasn't

493
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: paid attention to joint practices before, but they have actual

494
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: officiating staffs, like real officials that are on the field

495
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: that are officiating these plays, this competition, if you will,

496
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: just like it's games, so they can get work and

497
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: then also so the players and the coaches can have

498
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: a realistic depiction of was this guy offsides? Was that holding?

499
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: Was this a penalty? And how do you end up

500
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: adjusting off of that? So we know that there's value

501
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: into facing another team, another set of bodies. But arch

502
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: is the importance specifically for the starters, because again I

503
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: don't think Raheem Morris has made him mentioned as far

504
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: as what's going to happen this week, although my guess

505
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot of the same as

506
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: what we saw last week. Meaning not a lot of

507
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: the starters are going to play, But this is where

508
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: the starters do get their work. That's where a lot

509
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: of this value comes in.

510
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: Correct. Yeah, I don't think there's any question rack. The

511
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: more times you can you can rep at a heightened

512
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: adrenaline situation, a heightened competition situation without getting your guys

513
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: banged up. And that's the beauty of this is it

514
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: is controlled around the quarterback, and it is controlled tackling

515
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 3: guys to the ground. To a certain extent, we still

516
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 3: see some guys get a little over zealous, and you

517
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: still get guys drugged to the ground from time to

518
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 3: time because it's not our guy, that's their guy, so

519
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tackle their guy. For the most part, the

520
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: two teams treat each other the way they're supposed to,

521
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: and you want to take care of one another. But

522
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: the unscripted looks that Shock was talking about, where you know,

523
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 3: you got to adjust your route based on coverage, and

524
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: this leverage is different than what I see from our guys,

525
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: so I'm supposed to continue out instead of sitting the

526
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 3: route down. Just all the little things that come from that,

527
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: there's tremendous value and all that, but yeah, the starters

528
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: probably aren't gonna play. So where do I get as

529
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 3: close to team, close to game type reps as I

530
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: can Other than for the quarterback, I think it's pretty

531
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 3: close to full speed when you.

532
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: Agree, yeah, I agree. I mean it's it's tackling guys, right.

533
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: It's fun to watch.

534
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 4: It because it feels like game kind of speed out

535
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: there because you're going to get somebody different. And we

536
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 4: were standing on them sideline and they had a team

537
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: period and you hear berzermon come, he's yapping, he's into it.

538
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm talking about he is like lit, he is talking

539
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: about they don't want this, they can't feel it. This

540
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: guy ain't made a play.

541
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 4: And you can tell that there's a different kind of

542
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 4: juice and energy about it when you see somebody else

543
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: and you're going against him of your balance, So like this.

544
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: Is a little bit it feels a little bit different.

545
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 4: But it's still controlled in fact that you take care

546
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 4: of each other, but it's still hid into a sense

547
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: of we can get some real quality work because of

548
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 4: the speed that you're going at.

549
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you kind of know after you've gone against

550
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: the same players, right, Like if you're an offensive lineman. Right,

551
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about burs aroun. You go, you're going up

552
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: against the same I don't know, let's call it twelve

553
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: defensive linemen for the last three weeks. You know what

554
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: their tendencies are, right, Like, this guy's a power guy.

555
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 1: This guy's his speed quickness, this guy likes to use

556
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: a swim move, he likes to grab and rip.

557
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: Right.

558
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden, you get these new

559
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: jerseys in and guess what, it gets a lot more

560
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: like the regular season. You don't necessarily know what their

561
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: best move is. And that's when you got to get

562
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: back to your own technique, and you got to execute

563
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: your technique, and you got to be able to work

564
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: and control your one eleventh.

565
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 3: Right.

566
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: I know, it's one thing that you talk about a lot,

567
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: and so it gets back to the fundamentals of what

568
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: football is like every single week in the season when

569
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: you get new bodies in there that have strengths, that

570
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: have weaknesses, and you've got to prepare properly for it.

571
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: So that's what you get with some of these preseason

572
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: joint practices. All right, let's kind of shift gears and

573
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: talk about second game in the preseason arch I'm going

574
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: to go to you and I'm going to ask what position,

575
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: group or what areas do you want to see the

576
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: most growth in this week after what you saw on

577
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: the field last week and maybe what you've seen in

578
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: practice a little bit that needs to take the next

579
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: step forward in week two.

580
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's easy for me. Rak You got to run

581
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: the football. You got to be able to get off

582
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: the ball and run the football. And I know that

583
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 3: we've got a group, a front five, first five. They

584
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: think we feel pretty comfortable. I saw news Will play

585
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 3: a great deal last year, so you're not overly worried

586
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: about the fact that Dolman is not your main center.

587
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: News Will played eight games at last year, I think

588
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 3: six games the year before that, so he's played a

589
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: lot of football. Make you feel good about the starting five.

590
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about the rest of it now. Who's

591
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 3: the backup center. Who's who's going to slide into that storm.

592
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: Norton's been a little banged up. We haven't seen him

593
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: at the swing tackle. I thought it was an indoctrination

594
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. Quite frankly, for Jack Nelson,

595
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: I thought he had some moments there where he had

596
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: some good solid moments, but there was some moments. Hey,

597
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 3: we're not in Kansas anymore or Wisconsin anymore where you know,

598
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 3: so there was guys coming off the edge. So there

599
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: is that you know, you exponentially think to see make

600
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: him better next week. But you got to be able

601
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: to run the football, you know, And I think that

602
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: that's something that I think Dwayne Ledford in an offensive

603
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: line group will be concentrating on.

604
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: When it comes to offensive line, generally, fellas on an

605
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: active roster, you're going to keep somewhere from eight to

606
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: ten players, and then you know with the expansion of

607
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: the practice squad, there'll be a couple more guys down

608
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: there that you have additional bodies. But generally you're looking

609
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: for eight to ten, right we probably know who five

610
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: to six are going to be, so DJ they're looking

611
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: or that other two to three guys doesn't have to

612
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: be offensive line for you. But what area of the

613
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: game or what players are you looking for this week

614
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: to make the biggest impact.

615
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 4: I want to see the receivers can continue with what

616
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: we saw last week. Art mentioned by four or five

617
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 4: guys who you know showed up in that ball game,

618
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: and we know you look up and you say, hey,

619
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 4: my man, Dylan Drummond had eight targets, had eight catches.

620
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 4: Look at Chris Blair had three targets, had three catches. Uh,

621
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: they were accessible to the quarterback. They made plays when

622
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 4: they had to. Uh. Youre talking about Nash adapting to

623
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 4: the football and you know, ball behind him snagging a

624
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: cuffew ball. I want to see him do that again

625
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: and again. See you saw it in week one? Can

626
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: you do it again in week two? And I think

627
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: that speaks volumes to a staff, to the coaches who

628
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 4: are evaluating you, that you know what, this guy can

629
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: do this consistently over time.

630
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: And I think that matters the.

631
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 4: Most is Okay, you think about in the season, you

632
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: go in and you're that fifth six, sometimes maybe seven

633
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 4: receiver and a guy goes down and you're thrown into

634
00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: this opportunity.

635
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: Are you ready for it?

636
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 4: Can you go out and you know in that moment

637
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 4: where you get the opportunity to make a play, can

638
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 4: you be the guy that makes that play with the

639
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 4: limited ref that you get?

640
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: And I think you.

641
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: Saw a lot of guys making a case for themselves

642
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: to you know, be that guy.

643
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: But there's gonna be some opportunities in this ball game?

644
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: Can you do that?

645
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: And we've seen plenty of times where a guy has

646
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 4: a really good Week one, but can he show up

647
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: in Week two? And we're gonna be a lot of

648
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 4: guys in that spot who are have an opportunity to

649
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 4: go do that.

650
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: Can they do it again?

651
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 3: Specifically, there's a position I'm wondering if you guys have

652
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: one position in mind. Mine is going to continue to

653
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: be the competition that's going on at the nickel position

654
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 3: with the offord, with Billy Bowman, Mike Ford, Clark. Phillips

655
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 3: has banged up right now, so Clark is kind of

656
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 3: eliminated from that for now, not saying he's eliminated from

657
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: the team, but he's not able to be on the

658
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 3: field and compete. I'll be interested to see from a

659
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 3: one position, specific the nickel spot, because all those guys

660
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 3: are gonna play, who begins to solidify maybe take the

661
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 3: reins of that, because I think you can start to

662
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: feel Hughes and Terrell on the outside, and you know,

663
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 3: obviously Jesse's not going anywhere. It looks like Fuller and

664
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 3: Wats are kind of rotating in their helms. Just threw

665
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 3: his hat in the ring and said, wait, don't forget

666
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: about me. I want to be on the field as well.

667
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: But I don't know that you initially feel that way

668
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 3: about the nickel spot. I think that D's had a

669
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: pretty good training camp. But Billy made a couple of

670
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 3: plays in special teams in the game, got a chance

671
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 3: to play some nickel. Mike Ford is it as a

672
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: guy that's going to play special teams for you, but

673
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: he's capable playing corner and nickel. I'll be interested see

674
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 3: how that plays out.

675
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: Long About you guys, yeah, I mean you talked about

676
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: offensive line, you talked to run game, nickel wide receivers.

677
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking at again, still one of the biggest focuses

678
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: in the offseason, and that's going to be the defensive front.

679
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: And it's going to be pass rushed because I think

680
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: we saw some really positive things that came out of

681
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: the first game. But we all know and you kind

682
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: of alluded to it from the first to the second game.

683
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: In order to be good in the NFL, it's consistency.

684
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: So can you do it in the first game, and

685
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: then do it in the second game, and then do

686
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: it in the third game, and then come back and

687
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: do it when live bullets are flowing in week one

688
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: all the way through week eighteen in the season, because

689
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: that's what the really good teams do. But my eyes

690
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: are still going to be on that defensive front. And

691
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to just say edge rushers. I'm going

692
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: to talk about that defensive front because Dorles was active,

693
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned Ruke, and we saw the rookie draft picks

694
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: in there. I want to see, is it a little

695
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: bit better this week? Did they still find a way

696
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: to take the football away to rake the ball out?

697
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Are they getting off of blocks aggressively? Are they getting

698
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: around the corner to make the quarterback feel uncomfortable? These

699
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: are all areas where I feel like Atlanta has not

700
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: quite excelled in the last couple of years and why

701
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: they've invested so many assets to that position group. I

702
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: want to see the consistency from week one to week two.

703
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Can that defensive line continue to produce?

704
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 4: And I'll add a little extra to in reck and

705
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: we're talking about these joint practices. We're over there watching

706
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 4: today and there were several instances where ken Ward had

707
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 4: nothing or he had to try to escape the pipe

708
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: and you see pressure coming, you see different looks from

709
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 4: that that defensive front, and they're showing the ability to

710
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 4: maybe get to the quarterback and push that pocket, especially

711
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 4: with a guy who can move like a cam Ward.

712
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: And there were instants today where you're like, Okay, that

713
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: looks good. I like the way the pressure is coming

714
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: now you're forcing on the back end. Or there was

715
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 4: times where he may have had a little time and

716
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 4: the back end had had straps on him and you're like, Okay,

717
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: that looks good too. So putting it all together, I

718
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 4: think goes hand and in what you're talking about.

719
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well, so we talked about run game, we

720
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: talked about nickel position, we talked about wide receivers, we

721
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: talked about defensive front. Hey, let us know what you're

722
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: looking for in week two of the preseason, or maybe

723
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: it's the joint practices this week and you want the

724
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: guys to let you know how that ended up shaking out.

725
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: On the field.

726
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: Let us know, maybe down in the comments or reach

728
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: your eyes on this week. Let's going to wrap it

729
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: up for the Falcons Audible presented by AT and T.

Speaker 2: Right.

738
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,960

Speaker 1: is going to look like, and the regular season is

740
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,800
