00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: done it over the past few years. Chris Linstrom, but

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: also Bejon Robinson. I mean anybody, no matter where I

66
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: go when I'm color and games across country for Westwood One.

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: And while I was, I was in Baltimore this weekend

68
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting down waiting to call a Sunday night

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: football and my producer says, hey, what games do you

70
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: guys want to watch? And I said, well, can you

71
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: turn on the Falcons game? First of all, he gives

72
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: me a hard time former Falcons player that I want

73
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: to watch the game. But everybody that walked into the

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: booth and they saw one play from John Robinson, everybody

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: just comes.

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: At that dude sick man.

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: And you don't have to go very far when you're

78
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: watching a game or watching tape to find one of

79
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: those sick moments from Bijon Robbins completely earned. And I

80
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: think everybody across the NFL, whether you're a player, whether

81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: you're a coach, whether you're a broadcaster, everybody would say

82
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: that this dude is one special talent. So congratulations to him.

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Chris Lnstrom who has now done it multiple

84
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: seasons in a row, four in a row. Chris Winst,

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: by the.

86
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: Way, that joins some pretty exclusive company he's now closing

87
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: in on. These are the guys that have done it

88
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: more than four times. Mike Kin, Jesse Tuggle, Tommy Nobus

89
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: five Pro Bowls, Jeff van Note along that offensive line

90
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: of guy I played with the venerable one six Pro

91
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: Bowls along with Claude Humphrey, and of course the guy

92
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: that holds it down Julio Jones. But four Pro Bowls

93
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: in a row now for Linstrom consecutive, Yeah, consecutive that

94
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: Mike Kin did five consecutive. I believe Keith Brooking also

95
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: is in that mix as well.

96
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: I oh, yellow jacket, Okay.

97
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: So that's a pretty exclusive company. Congratulations to Chris and

98
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: to Bijon, and Bajon did some other stuff. I guess

99
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: we want to dive into some of the numbers here

100
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: in some in a little bit, but Bajon's in rarefied

101
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: air right now.

102
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

103
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: We get the the summary notes from the Falcons after

104
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: every single game, and it seems like with each performance,

105
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: it's the list goes like this, but it goes up

106
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: higher correct and you know what it's. I think that's

107
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: a testament to next level player. The reason why I

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: say that again, guys, I was I was doing the

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Ravens game this weekend, and the reason why I say

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: that is I was looking at the same type of

111
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: list for Derrick Henry and as I'm going through the

112
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: notes getting ready for the game, like, guys, it's pages

113
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: like you keep flipping for guys like Derrick Henry and

114
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: but Jehan Robinson is in that same mold right, he

115
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: is kind of following in those footsteps. Obviously different players,

116
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: but when you start doing the things that he's doing, like,

117
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: they can't stop typing things because you're right, it's honor

118
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: after honor, but it's less company that they're in. First

119
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: it starts oh, along with five other players, along with

120
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: three other players, and then pretty soon it gets to

121
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: be the only player that has done X, Y or

122
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: Z right, and that's the type of conversation that John

123
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: Robinson is in. Uh So, congratulations to those two guys

124
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl honors. All right, fellas, let's get into the game.

125
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily pretty, but sometimes in the National Football

126
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: League or any level for that matter, games are not

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: always pretty. But if you come away with a dub,

128
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: you find ways to pull positives out of it. So, fellas,

129
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: let's revisit what we talked about is some of our

130
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: keys to the game. Shock. I'm actually gonna start with you.

131
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm not here. This is gonna be you was feeding

132
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: the horses, feed them, and how do you felt like,

133
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: how do you felt like the horses performed after getting fed?

134
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: No? No, no, all top grade right there A plus

135
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: all top I don't.

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: Know if it was a town stayed out. I did

137
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: all that.

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: It's all incompassant, all encompassant, horses, the horses we just

139
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: he was rapping before we came on. Hey man, you

140
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: don't know what you're gonna get. You get balls with me.

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: You don't never know what a but on some real Yeah,

142
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: you're talking about bj We just talked about Bijon. Obviously,

143
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: his impact on each game is tremendous, and it's it's

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: it's pretty easy to say, all right, let's feed Bijon

145
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: because you continue to do that, you find a way

146
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: to do that. But we've seen consecutive weeks where we've

147
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: seen Kyle Pits make some big plays. Obviously, try to

148
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: get Drake involved in this ball game as well coming

149
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: back off the injury. Uh, but I thought coming in,

150
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: if you gave those two guys opportunities to go win

151
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: the ball game or help you win the ball game,

152
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: then you do it. And Kyle Pits ties his career

153
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: record with five touchdowns. You know, he's got what three,

154
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: four or five in the last few weeks. Continue to

155
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: play at a high level, continue to be a guy

156
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: on third down that you continually try to find plays

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: for Uh to go win and he uses his frame,

158
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: use his athleticism, using that wont to to go get

159
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: the football. You love that about him. And then obviously

160
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: Bjon doing it in a run game in the past game.

161
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: Just making life for a quarterbacks so much easier when

162
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: you could throw a swing route to him and he

163
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: can go make things happen. But give the guys a credit.

164
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: The swinging ride I'm thinking about for the touchdown. Obviously

165
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: you got Uh. You know you got draking those guys

166
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: on the outside blocking as well, or getting in the

167
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: way of the guys pick screen, whatever you want to

168
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: call it. They did a good job of getting in

169
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: a way so be junking outlivers this guy who had

170
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: him in man coverage. Another great play call from Zach Robinson.

171
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: But just those guys continue to show up each and

172
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: every week and play into that level. I think is

173
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: why you're in all these ball games. Because you always

174
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: talk about your star guys have to show up, and

175
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: then you need some other couple of marriad guys to

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: show up as well. But when you have your guys

177
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: show up, he's every week the horses ate.

178
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought the guys eight to what Shaq was

179
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: saying and letting the guys, you know, feed there. I

180
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: thought Zach did a really good job of creating opportunities.

181
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean Jan and that, and and Tyler carried the

182
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: ball and even number time sixty thirty two carries sixteen

183
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: a piece. They both ran for over seventy five yards.

184
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: Was a testament to the offensive line coming off the ball.

185
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: But I thought there were a couple of you talked

186
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: about some of the outside throws to Baijon. If you

187
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: go back and you look at the tape, and I

188
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: know we kind of study that stuff. Is what he

189
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 3: did to leverage their defenders. He motioned from the numbers,

190
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: tightened it down and released two guys vertical up the field,

191
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: and be Gen runs a swing route, and so their

192
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: corners naturally tightened down with motion coming to the inside.

193
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: So now you're tightening their their framework defensively, and now

194
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, your running back is on the

195
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: perimeter with no leverage against him. It happened twice in

196
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: the game. Just the design of that little piece, just

197
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: that little piece. Now seeing that on tape and getting

198
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: that designed, I think that was brilliant by Zach Robinson.

199
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: I don't think he I know he's taken a lot

200
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: of you know stuff over the season, Zach Robinson particular.

201
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: I know the fan wants to point at something to

202
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: point out that the reason Atlanta's been here and there offensively,

203
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: and he certainly is culpable in certain situations. Players are

204
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: as well. But I don't think he gets enough credit

205
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: for some of the cool stuff that we've seen in design.

206
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: I thought there was some cool things in this game.

207
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: There have been throughout the season, and that was just

208
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: one of them.

209
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: How about one of the How about Kyle or his

210
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: touchdown similar to the week before, or shall lacrosse forcing

211
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: the miscommunication gets him again? Ye, and he gets springs

212
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: free again two weeks in a row. I'm sure they

213
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: watched that on table and say, all right, we got

214
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: to make sure we talk when this happens, and they

215
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: come back and run exact same thing. Give Zach a

216
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 2: lot of credit for Hey, if it ain't broke, guess

217
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: what you ain't gotta fix it. And they did a

218
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: good job of that and Kyle pops free again.

219
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: Understanding the concepts too, the players have to execute what's designed,

220
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: and sometimes that's been a misfunction during the season, there's

221
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: been some good stuff designed and players haven't operated very well.

222
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: By the way, the other team gets paid to play too,

223
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 3: and sometimes they defend what you've designed. But in particular

224
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: on that little drag, Kyle's got to know that he's

225
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: got to get some depth and then he's got to

226
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: use the zone linebacker to rub his guy off on.

227
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: So it's a mesh concept where he's just actually rubbing

228
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: off on two defenders as opposed to him meshing with

229
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: another receiver coming from the other side. So just understanding

230
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: the concept and executing it properly, the Atlanta's done at

231
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: pretty high level on offense.

232
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is definitely improved. I felt like

233
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: early in the season there were so many opportunities or

234
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: so many plays where guys had such tight coverage on

235
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: him and shock, I know you and I talked about

236
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: this a couple of times at halftime right before we

237
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: did our halftime show. Is how can we get more

238
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: plays where scheme ends up working guys free?

239
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: For sure?

240
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: And that was one where I was watching and like

241
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: Pitts goes in motion and I was thinking, down by

242
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: the goal line, this is prime opportunity to get him

243
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: the ball and like as soon as he started on

244
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: his route and I saw the way the defense tried

245
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: to defend it. I was sitting there watching the game

246
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: with my wife. I said, touchdown because you could just

247
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: see how he was going to end up wide open.

248
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: And as long as they had the protection like and

249
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Kirk puts the ball out in front of him, it

250
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: was going to be an easy one. And those are

251
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: the ones. It doesn't always happen like that, to your point,

252
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: the defense gets paid to, but those are good to

253
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: see when your scheme and everybody does their little part.

254
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: We always talk about do your one to eleven right,

255
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just what you need to do to

256
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: spring somebody wide open. And that was a great play

257
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: design to get him in for the touchdown. Arch let's

258
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: go to you give them deja vu? Was there? Give

259
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: them DejaVu? You know, we didn't do that what they

260
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: experienced in some previous game.

261
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: But we didn't do that, Okay. You know I talked

262
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: about the Texan game where two weeks ago, the Texas

263
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: went down, scored seven to nothing. They kicked off, the

264
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: Cardinals fumbled the kickoff. They got it. Good defense by

265
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 3: the Cardinals. They force a three field goal. Cardinals come out,

266
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 3: go three and out, and Texas go down seventeen to nothing.

267
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: I said, can we get him to feel that again?

268
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: We didn't do that at all. It wasn't well.

269
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: And so yeah, so that's a complete miss on my suggestion.

270
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 3: But give the team credit. This is the second week

271
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: in a row they've fallen down by double digits in

272
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: the game. Now, this was early in the game, fell

273
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: down by fourteen two weekends ago or the Thursday night

274
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,119
Speaker 3: against Tampa, and you've been able to keep your focus

275
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: and go win a football game. I think those are

276
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: some of those building blocks that you're looking for that

277
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: you're never out of a game, you know. I think sometimes,

278
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 3: like we were talking about with the Cardinals, do they

279
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: get that, oh here we go, you know we're in

280
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: trouble again. Yeah, we didn't do that, and I think

281
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: that's one of those steps that you're looking for for

282
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: a team to take.

283
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: So didn't necessarily win on that key. But like to

284
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: your point, they were able to kind of turn the

285
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: game around as they made a nice run at the

286
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: end of the first half to tie it up, and

287
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,479
Speaker 1: then obviously played better, made some more plays.

288
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: And secondly, suggests.

289
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: The ractly suggestion was keep them off schedule. Okay, so

290
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: this was did it?

291
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: Yes, especially in the second half.

292
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I would say,

293
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: if you look at third down numbers, it's not going

294
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: to be great.

295
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 3: Try to walk you through it.

296
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: He's he's been doing.

297
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 3: I've had four cups of coffee, a little wired up

298
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: in here. Do you see my next out. We're gonna

299
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: have a We're gonna have a change.

300
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: Uh. Cardinals actually statistically pretty good on third down in

301
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: this game. They went seven to thirteen on third down.

302
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: But I think to your point, arch Atlanta kind of

303
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: buckled down and made the plays that they needed to

304
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: in the second half, ultimately to keep points off the board.

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: And if that's what you can do, and you allow

306
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: enough time for your offense, even though the offense stubbed

307
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: their tone a couple of drive second half, I think

308
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: I would give them a B in this department. Okay,

309
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: So I think it was that's good, but I think

310
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: it could have been a little bit better.

311
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: Well, how about your to your point, I think there's

312
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: a there's sub sets to keeping them off schedule. Yes,

313
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: and part of that was possessing the ball the way

314
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: Atlanta did in the second half. Right, Yes, I mean

315
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: you had the ball for what twenty one minutes in

316
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: the second half, So that speaks to what you're talking.

317
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: Only one what one complete drive offensively in the third quarter.

318
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: The second one bled into the fourth quarter because they

319
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: ended up putting such long drives together. And so if

320
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: you can, like, first of all, the score was tied

321
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: right going into the third quarter. That helped. If they

322
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: were down, it's a different story. But tied, they were

323
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: able to score points. But then they minimized the amount

324
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: of possessions that errors we had in the second half,

325
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: which obviously was a big thing.

326
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: Now, the quarterback came in completing sixty seven percent of

327
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: his pass is fifty percent completion percentage, which goes again

328
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: to talking what you're talking about off schedule and kind

329
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: of disruptive for the quarterback.

330
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: So let me ask you guys this question after we

331
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: kind of recapped our keys, because we've kind of touched

332
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: on it a little bit, but shock, let me start

333
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: with you. Are you more impressed by the way that

334
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: they erased the deficit and came back and won a

335
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: game again or frustrated by some of the either the

336
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: way that happened or some of the plays in the

337
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: second half, or you're like, gosh, come on, we're close,

338
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: but we're just not quite there yet. More impressed or frustrated.

339
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm more impressed because you look at arts just mentioned

340
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: it probably a couple months ago about being down in

341
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: the ball game. Man now ten oh, and you could

342
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: easily be like, well, here we are again. This is

343
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: the usual things that we have done, and we've kind

344
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: of snowballed into finding a way to lose a ball game. Yeah,

345
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: you didn't finish the way you wanted to, but then

346
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: you also finished really good no defense side only allowing

347
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: three points in the second quarter. I mean in the

348
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: second half. You think about how well you played once

349
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: they crossed the fifty yard line, forcing six field goals,

350
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: not allowing them to, you know, score a point. That's

351
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: a big deal. And I think the way you started

352
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: the ballgame. They had an unbelievable play where you know,

353
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: the guy catches the Wilson catches the ball and he

354
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: falls on it, and you know, Kobe does a really

355
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: good job, right he was there. So here's a caveat there.

356
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead. I'll tell you a little bit about.

357
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: What I heard a little bit about the conversation was

358
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 3: on the sideline with the official.

359
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: But go ahead, no, I love to hear that.

360
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: Oh well, so you get the the suppose it was

361
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: it a catch or not kept Michael Michael Wilson going

362
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: against Kobe Bryant. Right, Kobe's in right in his hip pocket,

363
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: does a good job. Balls obviously juggling around. What'd they

364
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: call it on the field?

365
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: Incomplete?

366
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 3: Incomplete?

367
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: Right?

368
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 3: Okay? Yeah, so I think Raheem walked over and said, hey,

369
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: what you know, what was the decision there? He says, well,

370
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 3: we couldn't tell whether the ball touched the ground or not.

371
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: Well it's incomplete, then we couldn't tell.

372
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: You got to stay with the evidence that it did

373
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: touch that didn't touch the ground. You don't have that, Well,

374
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 3: we couldn't tell.

375
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: That's the point. Well, you got to stay with the call.

376
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: What's so?

377
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: So I think I think Raheem just did what he's

378
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 3: supposed to do, turned and walked away, thinking what are

379
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: we doing? You know? But he you know, and I'm

380
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: paraphraidic kind of making up what he probably had in

381
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: his head. But yeah, that was they got an explanation

382
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: that they couldn't tell that it didn't touch the ground.

383
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, obviously one of those plays that was a

384
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: big difference making the first half there. Wow are so

385
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: many polls.

386
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: The Saints after nineteen penalties the week before, it.

387
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: Was much better this past weekend. By the way, same

388
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: question to you more impressed overcoming the deficit or frustrated

389
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: by some of the plays in the second half where

390
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: it was like, could have really opened things up.

391
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I'm impressed with how they handle their

392
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: business that they did and like shocks talking about that

393
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 3: they didn't allow themselves to go down that track. You know,

394
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: you said, we're going this direction and we'll make that happen,

395
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: so making something different happen. But I am disappointed in

396
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: the fact they have the ability to put people away.

397
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 3: This was a team that they could have put away,

398
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: and there was dysfunction on a couple of those short

399
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: yardist plays. On me, we missed on fourth down twice. Obviously,

400
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 3: when you go back twenty twenty, hindsight's twenty twenty, can

401
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: you punt the football there and make them go the

402
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 3: long field, eat clock, maybe eat their timeouts, and then

403
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: if they do put a field goal on the board.

404
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: Or a touchdown on the board, they don't have enough

405
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: time potentially to come back. That's the whole debate, And

406
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: so you're going with your gut and analytics do we

407
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: go for it? And talking to Raheem and his coaches show,

408
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: he said, Hey, we had a chance to put the

409
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: game away right there. So at that point, as players,

410
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 3: you have to seize that opportunity. I got to get

411
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: my pad level down. Know they're going to try to

412
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: blow the run game up, and I've got to come

413
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: off the ball and create some kind of movement so

414
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: Tyler can lean in there and get you a first down. Now,

415
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: Kurt completely blows the play with Charlie Warner coming across

416
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: in motion. He sends Charlie in motion and then calls

417
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: for the snap and he turns around. Oh by, oh,

418
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: what a surprise, Charlie Stanton, You send him in motion.

419
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 3: So that's a player screw up. That's not a design

420
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: screw up. You're trying to get Charlie across the formation

421
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: where he's going to be on the front side of

422
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: the potential of.

423
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: The lost the execution stuff you're talking about right there. Way, Hey,

424
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 2: we got a good play called, but we don't execute

425
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: it right way, so you don't go out of convert.

426
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 3: So there it is, and we've had a couple of that.

427
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: Those things happen, right, we go back to the New England.

428
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: Remember the New England game where you got the early

429
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: snap from NOWSL. So there are some of these things

430
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: that you got to kind of lay at the feet

431
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: of the players and say, hey, you know, you can't

432
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: clutch up in this situation. And in this case it's

433
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 3: your quarterback who's played pretty good for the last several weeks.

434
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: And I think you summarized it well, Arch because that's

435
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of the camp that I was in. I mean,

436
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: I was impressed that they found themselves down early but

437
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: then kind of immediately clawed their way back up to

438
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: even the game back up by halftime. But then it's

439
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: like the second half, because there's certain times to your point,

440
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: with field position, as players, as broadcasters, whatever you want

441
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: to call it, we're always like do you go or

442
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: do you punt here?

443
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: Right?

444
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: But to me on fourth and one situation that they

445
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: were in, I like the decision to go for it,

446
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: But the first one was the execution with the ball

447
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: can end up being on the ground like it just

448
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: has the motion has to work out perfectly. And then

449
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 1: to your point, like everybody's got to have like this

450
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: man up moment on fourth and one that like we

451
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna get one yard. Fellas, like we gonna find a

452
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: way no matter how, whether it's the blocking up front,

453
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: whether it's the running back running through a tackle, whether

454
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: it's somebody coming behind and helping push the pile like

455
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: we've seen so many times in the National Football League.

456
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: Got to find a way to get one yard, to

457
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: stay on the field, continue to take time off the clock,

458
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: and ultimately get more points on the board. However, in

459
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: the second half, defense did a good enough job keeping

460
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: points off the board and they were able to come

461
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: away with the wins. So, Shock, let me ask you

462
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: this question, biggest takeaway from the game. You had two

463
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: teams competing that were not eligible for the postseason. You

464
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: had two teams that are competing trying to put stuff

465
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: out on tape. You could make the argument that, like,

466
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: what is the mindset when you know you're not going

467
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: to the postseason? And we've seen a couple of wins

468
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: from Atlanta, But what's your biggest takeaway from what you've

469
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: seen in this game? And maybe the last couple.

470
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: Of games in this game. I say, we just talked

471
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: about Bjon and every ballgame you come in knowing this

472
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: dude is a guy you have to stop, and most

473
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: weeks teams can't do it. They come in and they

474
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: find a way and here's some plays here and there

475
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: he finds out a break one. I think the biggest

476
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: takeaway from me is what they did with Trade McBride.

477
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: I thought they did an outstanding job of limiting him

478
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: in this ballgame. How about Jesse Bates, you know, locking

479
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: in on two straight plays in a row, locking him down,

480
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: had to play in the end zone, fighting, scrapping with

481
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: this dude. And this is a dude who coming into

482
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: this game, what had sixteen straight games of five catches

483
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: of more and his four for twenty seven in his game. Yeah,

484
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: and I mean the last few ball games he has

485
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: just been killing people. And for the Falcons defense to

486
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: man up and say, you know what, this guy's not

487
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: going to beat us.

488
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 3: Wow, that's such a good guy.

489
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: So I love that factor of the ball game. You

490
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: come in and you know, you limit one of their

491
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: biggest playmakers on offense who pretty much did run their

492
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: offense through now that. Yeah, yeah, they ran the football

493
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: well in the game, and you know, they did a

494
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: good job of that, but ultimately they want to be

495
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: able to get their football they and get that guy,

496
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: and they weren't able to do it, and the defense

497
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: bowled up and played really well.

498
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: I think we had a similar thought when Atlanta played

499
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: Seattle a few weeks ago. We said, don't let Smith

500
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: and jig but beat you. And they did a pretty

501
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: good job in the first half against him, and then

502
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: things kind of added up and he made his impact

503
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: in the second half, which that's the reason why he's

504
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: leading the National Football League and receiving So sometimes art

505
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: you can go into games and saying we don't want

506
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: X guy to beat us, and then it doesn't actually

507
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: happen because either the execution isn't there. Hear that guy's

508
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: just really good, right, But they were able to hold

509
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: him down because even though Arizona was having not a

510
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: great season, he has been one of the biggest, biggest

511
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: things positive things for Arizona all year.

512
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred and five catches, almost twelve hundred yards,

513
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: ten touchdowns. The lastest the last time we saw him

514
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 3: was two years ago. He had eight grabs for one

515
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty one yards in the game, and so

516
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: we had had a problem with him before. And we're

517
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: not the only team in the league obviously with one

518
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: hundred and five grabs throughout the So when you come in,

519
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: he was coming off of a career high game the

520
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 3: weekend before, much like Kyle Pitts was. So he was

521
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: hot and to your point, shock to be able to say,

522
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 3: this is what we're going to do, and like Rock's

523
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: talking about, sometimes that just because they move guys around,

524
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: that's hard to do. They moved him around. They didn't

525
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: line him up on the edge of the line of scrimmager,

526
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: they put him outside the numbers. They put him everywhere,

527
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 3: and Atlanta had somebody waiting on him. I thought Divine

528
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: Diablo did a couple of times started, Yeah, did a

529
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: great job there. And then what they did was they

530
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: made sure that he knew that if the ball came

531
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 3: his direction, he was going to get hit. Yeah, Divine

532
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: hit him and Jesse unlocked him in the end zone

533
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: after Trey got up and talked a little smack on

534
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: the play a couple of plays earlier. Yeah, yeah, that's

535
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: the wrong guy in a challenge he is a silent assassin,

536
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: and just a point on Jesse bates real quickly. I

537
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 3: think that what's been lost defensively some in his his performances.

538
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: I think it's been a quiet performance by Jesse. We

539
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 3: normally are seeing him kind of the focal point, leading

540
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: the team in interceptions. He led the team in tackles two

541
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: years ago, had one hundred plus tackles. Last year, had

542
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: four interceptions, four force fumbles. Last year it's been a

543
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: little bit quieter year from a numbers standpoint, but he

544
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 3: still got eighty eight tackles, which third I think is

545
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: third or fourth on the team. He's closing he could

546
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 3: potentially have another on hundred t year, which would be

547
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: three consecutive for him. But what he has done is

548
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: he's wrapped his arms around the other guy, Xavier Watts,

549
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 3: and to hear him talk about Watts, he's got a

550
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: great reverence for Watts and what he could potentially be.

551
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 3: And he's almost taking under zooming like a little brother.

552
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: And you could see why Watts is playing at a

553
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 3: high level too. Watt's learning all the time. Jesse's challenging.

554
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: So I would I would say that if you're a

555
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: little disappointed potentially in Jesse's numbers or whatever. Don't be

556
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 3: because he is tutoring and still playing at a high level,

557
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: which we saw on t.

558
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: So you mentioned John Robinson earlier and we talked about

559
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: some of the numbers. I'm just gonna read off a

560
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: couple of them. I don't have long enough here in

561
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: the show to talk about some of the things. But

562
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: seventy six scrimmage yards passed Pro Football Hall of Famer

563
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: eder and James and Clinton Porters for the third most

564
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: scrimmage yards by a player under the age of twenty

565
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: four in NFL history. Okay, so history, not just since

566
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: two thousand or Okay, So that's pretty impressive. Six games

567
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: this season with one hundred and fifty or more scrimmage yards,

568
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: two more than any other player in the league. Okay,

569
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: surpassed one hundred scrimmageyards for the tenth time this season,

570
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: in the second consecutive season he's had ten or more

571
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: games over on hundred scrimmage yards. Forty one yard reception

572
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: in the second quarter his fourth of the year, most

573
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: among all running backs in the league this year running

574
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: backs fourth forty plus yard reception. The list goes on

575
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: and on, folks, and we could sit here for another

576
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: thirty minutes and just rip off what he continues to do.

577
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: But the fact that we're in third season, we're in

578
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: week whatever it ends ends up being, I lose track

579
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: with eighteen weeks, seventeen game all that, and everybody comes

580
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: into the game saying, we can't let me John Robinson

581
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: beat us, And what does he do? Beats him not

582
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: only in the run game and in the past game

583
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: as well. And Guys, I was thinking about this. I'm

584
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: generally one of those that looks at running backs performance

585
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: and it's like, did he dominate on the ground, right,

586
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: But as I look at what Bejon Robinson does and

587
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: when he has games like sixteen carriers for seventy nine yards,

588
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: but then he leads your team and receiving I'm actually

589
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: okay with him not having all these one hundred yard

590
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: games because he's he's wrecking people both sides, and it's

591
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: he's still getting the touches, right. I think he had

592
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: twenty three touches this game. But to me, it's like

593
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: he's different in the fact that he doesn't need to

594
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: have these one hundred plus yard games all the time

595
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: because he's going to get you in both ways. And

596
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have thought about it

597
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: that way, but sometimes how you grade running backs is

598
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: total rushing yards. How many times were they over one

599
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards arch And it's not necessarily the case with

600
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: him all the time because he gets so much production

601
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: out of the backfield.

602
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, Shaw.

603
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: One thing that sticks out to me when when you

604
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: talk about Bejon that matter you say, oh, he didn't

605
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: have the ney yard games every single week. The one

606
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: thing that I'm think about when I watch him every

607
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: single week is he's like the death by a thousand throwns.

608
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: Like you look up and you're like, man, that's supposed

609
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: to be a negative yards play and he gets six. Oh, man,

610
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: that looks like they probably get three or four yards

611
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: and he gets twelve. Like those kind of plays add

612
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: up during the ball game where you got him, you know,

613
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: second and nine and he ends up picking up a

614
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 2: first down, You're like, man, we could have got out

615
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: the field there. Or then there's that one that you

616
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: throw a swing route to him and the guy's in

617
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: the flat, makes that guy missed and he's up the

618
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: sideline for forty five yard game, Like those are the

619
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: plays throughout a ball game. I think that add up

620
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: for a defense. So you may not have the one

621
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: hundred hundred and twenty yard performance, but it's those little

622
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: plays throughout the ball game that really hurts you. And

623
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: you're like, man, we're supposed to go out the field there,

624
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: or man, he's supposed to have a negative yard of

625
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: game there, or it'supposed to be limiting them to one

626
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: or two yards, and you're like, how he gets seven

627
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: yards on that? Like that makes sense? So I think

628
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: those are the plays that when you really watch the film,

629
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: that are really as impactful as you're throwing it out

630
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: there and he goes, you know, eighty yards for a

631
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: touchdown like those ones, I think. And it happens throughout

632
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: the ball game, not just the first quote, all the

633
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: way do the fourth quarter, and it just adds up

634
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: on you, like, man, you look at me, like, man,

635
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: this dude, dude make me mad? That does happen me?

636
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: For he made a run in a third quarter that

637
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: My analogy on the radio was if you have been

638
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: at a marta station and you're waiting for the train

639
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 3: to pull up and a bunch of people are getting off,

640
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: but you need to get on and you know the

641
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: doors are going to shut pretty quickly. He looked like

642
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: one of those kind of people trying to get on

643
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 3: the train and not run into anybody. He made I

644
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: think eight or nine guys miss this. This This got

645
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 3: nine yards and it's through the center. And I said,

646
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: it looks like a dude trying to get on the

647
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: Martis everybody get off? Because he was he was Nobody

648
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 3: could touch him. He's the matrix. I mean, the guy

649
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: is phenomenal. The numbers are phenomenal. Like the guy I

650
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: want to mention though that's in the same breath as

651
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: him that he's now being mentioned with, is William Andrews.

652
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 3: The guy had a chance to play with, who was

653
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: a phenomenal player at Auburn. Was a running back here

654
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: tore his knee up like his fourth or fifth year

655
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 3: and it limited his career. But will was one of

656
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: those guys. He was a bigger dude than the Majian.

657
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: He weighed about two hundred and thirty pounds two hundred

658
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: and twenty five pounds, but he just had soft hands,

659
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: could catch the football and he did a lot of

660
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: the same types of things from running the ball. He

661
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: pounds you a little bit more physically. He had good

662
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: top end speed but could catch the football on the

663
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: backfield like Bijeon Robinson. I wonder, and we've got a

664
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 3: ways to go, but you almost begin to wonder. I

665
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 3: start thinking about great backs like you were talking about,

666
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: and there's a there are categories, but the greatest all

667
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: around back okay, And I think I mentioned this before

668
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: on this to me, that greatest all around back was Walter.

669
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: Payton has a chance to play against Walter, and why

670
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: is he the best all round back? He doesn't have

671
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: the most yards Emmitt Smith does. He didn't have the

672
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: most catches as a running back, but what he did

673
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 3: was everything. And that's what Bajon does. What you're talking about.

674
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: He does everything that breaks your back. Like to play.

675
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: Walter would step up and shorten a guy's neck. It

676
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 3: was coming on the blitz. Go back and look at

677
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: the table. How many times but Jean Robinson steps up

678
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: and picks up an upper extra rusher. We see him

679
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: with the ball in his hands. He steps up in

680
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: that a gap and shortens somebody's neck. Ye, you know,

681
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: to give you a chance to throw. Then his ability

682
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: to make people misrun, we haven't seen him throw it.

683
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 3: Yet Walter could throw the football.

684
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: So I'm still waiting on that.

685
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: In the atmosphere, folks.

686
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 3: But that's the realm I'm putting him in is it's

687
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: the all around and to me that when you say

688
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 3: the best running back in the National Football League, that's

689
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: what you've got to be and to me, he's that

690
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: guy right now.

691
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: Well, he obviously had a phenomenal performance in his home

692
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: state of Arizona and was very integral in the victory

693
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: over the Cardinals. So helps have a much more enjoyable

694
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Christmas Week when you're coming off a win. But one

695
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: of the presents that you get as the member of

696
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: the nfls as you get the La Rams coming into town,

697
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: which arguably is the best team in the league right now,

698
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: arguably has the best offense in the NFL, and has

699
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: the front runner for the MVP Award right now in

700
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. So that's life in the National you know, welcome,

701
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. So shock to me a favor for our

702
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: listeners and our viewers kind of break down the Rams

703
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: a little bit and what Atlanta is going to be

704
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: facing with them on Monday night.

705
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: Well, first off, how great of a president, is it

706
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: to have a game like this in your building with

707
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: everything on the line for them, and you having a

708
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: chance to on national TV show people what this team

709
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: could be, can be in the future going forward and

710
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: showing it now. You's gonna lay down because you have

711
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: there one of the top teams the NFC. So I

712
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: love the fact you have this ball game. And if

713
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: you're a Falcon, you got to be excited. I mean,

714
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: you got to be pumped up to have a game

715
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: like this team you're building on Monday night to show

716
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: people what you're really about. Obviously, it seems hasn't going

717
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: the way you want it, but this is another opportunity

718
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: to put on display what this team could be. Now.

719
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: Obviously you're facing the Rams team led by who you

720
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: just talked about and Matthew Stafford, who obviously this offense

721
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: number one offense scoring thirty points a game, yards per

722
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: game six in rushing offense at a one to twenty

723
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: six a game, second in pass offense. Stafford's one of

724
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 2: those guys who's fearless throwing it. He won't care if

725
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: you got a guy there. He's gonna give his guys

726
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: a chance. Got a guy on the outside named Pooka Nakua,

727
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: who is absolutely crushed fifteen hundred yards this year. Is

728
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: doing things that a lot of people haven't seen. Eight touchdowns,

729
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: Lee's NFLS and receptions yards per game, averaging thirteen yards.

730
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: He got one hundred and forty five targets on the year,

731
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: So you know, Stafford's looking force feeding, force feed. I

732
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: don't know if DeVante Adams is gonna be back, but

733
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: he's another guy that Stafford's been feeding all year long. Yeah,

734
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 2: I mean, he's another big play for him, tight end

735
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 2: Kobe Park. He's another guy got six touchdowns on the year,

736
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: so it's it's an embarrassment of riches as well. Then

737
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: you turn around and you can hand it off to

738
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 2: Kyra and Williams, who's got two hundred and thirty four

739
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: carries on the season, So you think about them spreading

740
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 2: it out, throwing all over the yard. But then also

741
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 2: they got a guy that can turn around and hand

742
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: it to and he's been productive ten touchdowns on the

743
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: season as well, averaging almost close to five yards of carry.

744
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 2: Then he got another guy who we've seen play University

745
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: of Michigan and Blake Korum, a little shifty dude who's

746
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: got you got a great absolute grade one two punch.

747
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: He's got six touchdowns on the year, so you're like

748
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: close to seven hundred yards. They got dudes all over

749
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: the places on offense, and we know what Sean McVay

750
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: has been about since he's been his league, and his

751
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: acumen too obviously spreads you out and throw you a round.

752
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: Raheem knows this unit pretty really well. Obviously coming from

753
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: that part. It's gonna be a interesting and fun matchup

754
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: for our defense because they're gonna test you in a

755
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: lot of multiple ways, running and throwing. And then on

756
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: the other side, the one guy that sticks out, it's

757
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: a guy who's in this building for a long time

758
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: who We've seen a lot of dudes who are like

759
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: tackling machines, but Nate Lemmon has been that. Yeah for

760
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 2: this defense, all over one hundred and twenty three tackles

761
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 2: on the season, they only give it up nineteen points

762
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: per game. Jared Verse, who you know they drafted in

763
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: the first round, is going to be is a good player.

764
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: Braydon Fisk is a good player upfront for him. This

765
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: is gonna be a fun matchup because they got a

766
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: lot of big time players on both sides of the ball,

767
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: and you got to show up and be ready to go.

768
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talked a lot about the offense. I think

769
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: the matchup between Jeff Olbrick and Sean McVay is going

770
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: to be must watch, television, radio, whatever you want to

771
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: call it, because you're thinking about what Olbrick has done

772
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: this season to transform the defense. One that could not

773
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: get pressure on the quarterback a year ago, and this

774
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: year they find themselves in the top five in the

775
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: NFL going up against who a lot of people would

776
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: say might be the best play caller in the league

777
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: right now. It's debatable, but he's top five and I

778
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: don't know what number he is, but he's top five.

779
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: It helps you have the guy squeezing the trigger.

780
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and the personnel that you talked about. So Arch,

781
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: the other thing that kind of sticks out to me.

782
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned the numbers on defense Byron Young eleven sacks,

783
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: Jared Verse six and a half sacks, Kobe Turner seven sacks.

784
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: So they've got some guys that have fill up filled

785
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: up the stat sheet on that column. So Arch, my

786
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: question to you is, what is the blueprint for Atlanta

787
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: to come away with a victory against this team that

788
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: shocks so eloquently headlined for us, that's loaded.

789
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm scared and I haven't even feel I don't

790
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 3: get here. I'm playing, I'm playing, I playing. You know,

791
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 3: Stafford's been outstanding, has been outstanding his entire career. He's

792
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 3: got a corps of guys around him. Nikua is coming

793
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: off to over two hundred yard performance against Seattle. If

794
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: you go back and look at this Seattle game, now

795
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: they play them twice, so I would almost apply more

796
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 3: game plan stuff to them as opposed to maybe some

797
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 3: of their other opponents. If you know what I mean,

798
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 3: teams that you see twice, you generally try to switch

799
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: stuff up. But if you go back and look at

800
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 3: the last game, this is a game the Rams. I'm frankly,

801
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 3: I don't have no idea how they lost the game.

802
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: They end up losing on a spectacular play at the end,

803
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: what was a thirty nine to thirty eight They went

804
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 3: for two and won the game. They were down thirty

805
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 3: to fourteen in the game and got a punt return

806
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: for a touchdown and then started and it started kind

807
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 3: of changing, Yeah, started changing, kind of changing things around

808
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 3: for him a little bit, But this was a game

809
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 3: the Rams were dominating running the football on. What they

810
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: did is they came out in twelve and thirteen personnel

811
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 3: and they pounded Seattle with the run game. They sprinkled

812
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: in a Stafford play. Nicoua makes a huge catch on

813
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: an over route about halfway through the second quarter, but

814
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 3: it was Kyra and Williams coming downhill running the football

815
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: at him. Now again, that's where I go back to,

816
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 3: was that more? Okay, this is what we did in

817
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 3: game one? They won Game one, I think twenty one

818
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: to nineteen. Darnold to what four picks in that game?

819
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 3: Three or four picks in that game.

820
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: So I had a few days.

821
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he did, he had a couple of That's

822
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: why I don't know how they Well, they won the game,

823
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: but they had a decided idea that they were going

824
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 3: to try to get after them physically. After seeing what

825
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 3: the Cardinals were able to do in this game. You're

826
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: trying to put, you know, two and two together. Here

827
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: is that? Okay, the Cardinals had some good run success

828
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 3: in the first half. The Cardinals ran for ninety five

829
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: yards in the first half, and they were running primarily

830
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 3: in the middle and so they're running inside zone and

831
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: duo with Kyron Williams coming downhill at a twelve and

832
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: thirteen personnel. I'm anticipating them doing that again. Now Atlanta

833
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: does have a potentially if Mike Es doesn't play, they're

834
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 3: gonna have either CJ. Henderson, who have made a monster

835
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 3: play this last game. Yeah, or you're gonna and a

836
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 3: guy hadn't played a lot here recently. Or you're gonna

837
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: have Kobe Bryant another young player out there. How do

838
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: you get Nakoola out there? And what does Olbrik do

839
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 3: with that? That'll be that'll be interesting. But it's it's

840
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: a really good team. That's why either what eleven and

841
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 3: four right now they're in they're vying for the number

842
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 3: one spot. And like Shock says, what a great opportunity

843
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 3: to play prime time and play against the guys. But

844
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: to get back to your point, what is it? What

845
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: does it take? I think you got to possess the football.

846
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 3: Can you go out and you can you hang on

847
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 3: to the football and do some of the things you've

848
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: been doing. You've been converting at about fifty percent rate

849
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 3: on conversion downs the last two games. That's allowed you

850
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: to possess the football and it's allowed you to go

851
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 3: down the field. Here, we got.

852
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Pads coming out.

853
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: We'll see what I do.

854
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: Is I read the first one.

855
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 3: Sustain sustain drives. Yeah? See what I do is I

856
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 3: try to grab his pad just before we great note

857
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: take or great note take shock.

858
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set you up for your comment here by

859
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: saying a couple of questions. First of all, this Falcons

860
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: Rams game is on what night? This week.

861
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: Night?

862
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: Monday night. Okay, there was a game that was played

863
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: in this twenty twenty five season that happened to be

864
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: played against the Buffalo Bills that was on what night

865
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 1: night football. Buffalo Bills have a quarterback that won which

866
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: award last year MVP, But the Rams have a guy

867
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: that's favored to be the what this year MVP. This

868
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: was not even scripted, by the way. So here's my comment.

869
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: I know what I'm handing over to you is you

870
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: want to know what a pretty good blueprint is duplicating

871
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: what Atlanta did against Buffalo Bills. They had one of

872
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the National Football League come in town.

873
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: I think the difference is you can make the argument

874
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: that the Rams got better wide receiver positions, but James

875
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: Cook is pretty good at the running back position. But

876
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: what did Atlanta do in that game? They limited the

877
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: Bills to two for nine on third down and Jon

878
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: Robinson and Drake London hammered them right, I mean they

879
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: dominated in that game. Robinson had one hundred and seventy

880
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: rushing yards. That usually tells me they possessed the football

881
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then Drake London said, I'm gonna

882
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: over now. This is you want to talk about matchup?

883
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: Like who wants to show that they're one of the

884
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: better receivers in the league. This could be one of

885
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: those games where Drake is like, everybody's talking about pooking

886
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: the coup, but watch them by me hold my drink

887
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: extra day to get ready. Yeah, Like, so, so are you?

888
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: Are you down with that kind of a blueprint? Make

889
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: this look like the Buffalo Bills game. They don't have

890
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: to go far to look for a really competitive, highly

891
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: anticipated matchup on Monday night football.

892
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: I think the premise is the same when you talk

893
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 2: about getting after the quarterback. Now we know Stafford ain't

894
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: going to will he don't want to run like Josh Allen.

895
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: We know Josh Allen that second play his ability, but

896
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 2: he makes up mass. That was a big part of

897
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: that ballgame, was limiting him when he gets outside and

898
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: moves around. But I still think the premise is the

899
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 2: same of affecting Stafford, affecting the quarterback, and what we've

900
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: done the last few weeks, and we talked about when

901
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: we came on Brandon Dorlans seven and a half sacks,

902
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 2: the best way to affect a quarterback right up the middle.

903
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: And how about if you're able to put pressure on

904
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: Stafford from pushing up the middle, forcing him off his spot.

905
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 2: And we know staff can throw from mini arm angle

906
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: and he's willing to try it and all that kind

907
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: of stuff. But still, if you have to do that

908
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: for four quarters, I think that bowls well for you.

909
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 2: So I think the premise is the same, try your

910
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: best to affect the quarterback. But obviously you can't give

911
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 2: up those big plays. Can't give all those big deep

912
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 2: overroutes to Pooker, can have those big exposive plays down

913
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: the field, And I think you have a really good

914
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 2: opportunity to do what you did like in that first

915
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: game versus Buffalo. So you gotta affect Stafford you can't

916
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: allow him to have free rein to sit back there

917
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: and survey everything. Dude, seeing too much football, knows too

918
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: much about what you want to do to be able

919
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 2: to confuse him in that way. So I think affecting

920
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: him has to be number one. And that's why when

921
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: you mentioned the olbrig VERSU mcveag, that's gonna be a

922
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 2: primetime matchup. It's gonna be the chess match of what

923
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: you want. And I know Albrick's looking at the same way,

924
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: and don't think not to say that Olbrichson' come to

925
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,959
Speaker 2: this game and say, hey, I'm putting everything on trying

926
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: to stop everything Sean. But they look over and they're

927
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 2: they're competitive too. Now. They they want to show that, hey,

928
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 2: I can do some things that can slow down what

929
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: everybody thinks is one of the top offense in the league.

930
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 2: So I guarantee you there's gonna be some wrinkles in

931
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: this ball game that they're gonna be able to find

932
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 2: a way to get to Stafford or find some ways

933
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: to confusion from here and there. But you gotta affect

934
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: that dude, all right.

935
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna get to

936
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: the keys to the game. And I'm following instructions because

937
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: our producer Jared call put down here shock you go first,

938
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: so Arch doesn't steal yours. Okay, starty starting go all right.

939
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: So you were pretty adamant about affecting the quarterback. So

940
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: my question back to you is, is that's your key

941
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 1: to the game? Number one thing that you're looking to see?

942
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: No? See, I said it.

943
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 3: Was the number one thing.

944
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: No, no, no. I said it was part of the

945
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: game plan. He asked me, part of it? What is

946
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: something I'm looking forward to?

947
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did say that. I said most important, it's okay,

948
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: give us your key.

949
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: I think most importantly is continue your hot streaking the

950
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: red zone. I think you've done a really good job

951
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 2: of scoring touchdowns in the red zone as we noticed

952
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 2: the team we talked about the highest scoring offense coming

953
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 2: in in the RAMS thirty a game that means just

954
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: scoring touchdowns. You have to match that. If not match it,

955
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: you got to put the pressure on them to score

956
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 2: when they get the football. So I think continue what

957
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: you've done in the red zone of scoring touchdowns not

958
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 2: field goals. That puts a lot of pressure on their

959
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: offense to continue to score at a high rate, and

960
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: you think about it and say, hey, they need this

961
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: game as bad as anybody. So red Zone efficiently got it.

962
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: Like it.

963
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: Okay, what are you going second, because apparently you have that.

964
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: I'm stealing people's stuff.

965
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: I don't know what all this stuff has.

966
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: I have written down it.

967
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm going to record arts does not steal anything. Our

968
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 2: minds are really, uh, kind of similar, So the thought

969
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: processes are kind of what.

970
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 3: Do you got racked?

971
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: Mine's going to be a disciplined football game. And the

972
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: reason why I say that is you mentioned this earlier arch.

973
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: You mentioned you went back to that game where there

974
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: was a nineteen penalties. Huh, Well, it was much better

975
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: this past week against the Cardinals in the penalty department.

976
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: Let's not get art started on the penalties.

977
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 2: Okay, but it's not.

978
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: Just there turnovers. It's missed assignments like we saw one

979
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: in the second half last week. So to me, this

980
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: is a game where the margin for error is going

981
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: to be extremely low. Right, So we can't afford to

982
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: have a bunch of penalties. We can't afford to be

983
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: turning the rock over, and we can't afford those missed

984
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: assignments that turn into disastrous type plays. So to me,

985
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: it's just a truly disciplined football game that's playing hard.

986
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: But also understand you got to play with great technique

987
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: and fundamentals and you can't make those big mistakes. So

988
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm going with a disciplined games bring us home. Baby,

989
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: Well just stole mine because my discipline involved like three

990
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: or four different things.

991
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: Yes, I was just gonna say play clean. I didn't

992
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 3: realize Iraq was going to cover the entire so I'm

993
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna I'll go to what Chock talked about

994
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 3: earlier that I thought was going to be as key,

995
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: but he flipped it and went to red zone efficiency.

996
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with. Okay, you've got fifty forty eight sacks,

997
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 3: forty nine sacks. What do we got fifty sacks?

998
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: I think?

999
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 3: So Okay, so you're five sacks away from the all

1000
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 3: time Falcon record. Okay, no one better to get after

1001
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: more than this guy. Okay, Georgia guy. He ain't going

1002
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 3: nowhere like Shock talked about. Okay, so let's heat him up.

1003
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 3: So getting after the quarterback, putting him on the ground,

1004
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 3: and changing the dynamic of what it is going to

1005
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 3: take to get first downs. I think this team does

1006
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 3: a good job of getting explosives. They have a lot

1007
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 3: of explosive plays, but make them have to make explosive

1008
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 3: plays to stay on the field. So I'll just settle

1009
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 3: back with what Shock was talking about. You've got to

1010
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 3: make sure Stafford doesn't take over the football game.

1011
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: Like the got it all right, So we got folks,

1012
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: red zone efficiency or as Shock termed it, continue the

1013
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: red zone streak. Mine was playing discipline, football penalties, turnovers,

1014
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: missed assignments.

1015
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 3: And then get off the bush like.

1016
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: That would help before.

1017
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: You, by the way, if we can find a way

1018
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: to make your but Stafford doesn't get on the right

1019
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: bus too.

1020
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: Shows up late to the stag, or maybe it doesn't

1021
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: make it there at all.

1022
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: Uh, give us your key. What do you got, you know?

1023
