I'm Derek Rackley with you once again, 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: and we've got a couple of new faces that are 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: going to join us and we will get to them 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: in just a second. You know, it was a bye 6 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: week for the Falcons this week, so we're letting as 7 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: the Falcons get a couple of days off, We're letting 8 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: our own DJ Shapley and Dave Archer get some decompressed time. 9 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: That way they can come back and they can bring 10 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: the thunder the next time there on this podcast. But 11 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: before we get to our two guests this week, let 12 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: me tell you what we're going to talk about. Of course, 13 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: one of the biggest news this week is the injury 14 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: to Drew Brees. How is that going to affect the Saints, 15 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: How is that going to affect the NFC South, and 16 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: how does that affect the NFL as a whole. We'll 17 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: dive into that, and of course will the Falcons with 18 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: that injury to Drew Brees, will they see him again? 19 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: There's been talk about whether or not he's going to 20 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: hang it up, but they've been playing well this year. 21 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: Does Drew Brees decide to come back or does he say, 22 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: you know what, enough of these injuries. I'm going to 23 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: hang up the shoes and get ready for my induction 24 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. We'll also talk about the 25 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: Bucks with the Falcons and how that should end up 26 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: playing out. We saw the Bucks get back on track 27 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: in their game this weekend after a little over a 28 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: week ago getting blown out by the Saints. And then 29 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna dive a little deeper into what a lot 30 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: of people call hate week the Falcons and Saints. Is 31 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: the Falcons were back on the field this week, traveling 32 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: to New Orleans to face the division leading potentially Drew 33 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: brees Less New Orleans Saints. So that's the schedule for 34 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: today during this podcast. But before we get going, let's 35 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: say hello to our guests this week, Falcons reporters Kelsey 36 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: Conway and Will McFadden. Will you got like five seconds 37 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: to give me something great that's gonna catch everybody's attention? 38 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: How are you? What do you got for us? What's up? Rack? 39 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: What I got for you is the Falcons are gonna 40 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: win on Sunday. I was just waiting for so much 41 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: more than that. Okay, it's Okay, Will, it's good to 42 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: see you. It's okay. You don't think that's a lot. No, No, 43 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: it's not that. But I was just I was wading, 44 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: waiting for something that was gonna like, Kelsey, can you 45 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: do that you got anything for me? Welcome to the 46 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: podcast this week. I don't know. I don't know if 47 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: I got something on the spot, but stay tuned because 48 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: sometimes things just you know, I'm gonna come out of 49 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: my mouth and end up being funnier than I could 50 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: have ever imagined. The broadcasting world, they call that a tease. 51 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: That means stay tuned because something might be coming. Well, Kelsey, 52 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get into this first discussion about 53 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, and I'll start with you because since you 54 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: joined the Atlanta Falcons organization, you've been very close in 55 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: following this matchup and it's been something that I'm sure 56 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 1: you've seen the work of Drew Brees, how much he's 57 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: meant to the Saints, and it makes this rivalry just elevated. 58 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: So with his injury, in your opinion, how does this 59 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: change the landscape of the NFC South. The Saints have 60 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: been playing well lately, but with no Drew Brees in 61 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: the lineup. Are things more up in the air than 62 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: one might have thought. Absolutely, But my first thought when 63 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: you ask me that is I really wish the Falcons 64 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't have lost that game to the Panthers early on 65 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: in the season, because we'd be talking about a completely 66 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: different story in the NFC South in terms of the 67 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: Falcons chances to win in the division. But I would 68 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,279 Speaker 1: say for the Falcons standpoint, losing Drew Brees is obviously 69 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: he's going to be future Hall of Famer. It's it's 70 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: a huge loss for the Stints. But if it were 71 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: anybody other than Jamis Winston, who the Falcons have had 72 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: a really hard time defending, Oh my gosh, my ring 73 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: light there was That was the moment right there that 74 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: hold on to everything here, Kelsey, go ahead and finish 75 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: your thought. This is going to show how much concentration 76 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: you've got. Okay, I am like, hope fully holding my 77 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: ring light. But what I was saying, and if it 78 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: was anybody other than Jameis Winston, I would feel great 79 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: about the Falcons odds against the Staints. But he's very 80 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: capable of making big plays, as the Falcons have been 81 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: accustomed to seeing from Jamis, But I think it just 82 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: does change the landscape of the NFC South solely for 83 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: the Bucks standpoint. But then again, the Saints have beaten 84 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: the Bucks twice, so it's really interesting to see how 85 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: this is all going to play out. Yeah, and will 86 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: we have to wait to see how the act on 87 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: the field is going to affect without Drew Brees being 88 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: in a lineup? How's Jamis Winston gonna end up firing 89 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: this one? And there are a lot of times will 90 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: when when NFL teams have a backup quarterback that there's 91 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: some guys that just haven't played a whole lot of football, 92 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: and then some are fortunate enough to have a ton 93 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: of experience under the belt. I think you could stay. 94 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons have one in Matt Shop. He's been 95 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowler, he's been an MVP of a Pro Bowl, 96 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: He's been a starter. James Winston kind of fits the 97 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: same mold. Now. Fortunately for the Saints, they had a 98 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: guy in Teddy Bridgewater that held that same role for him, 99 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: specifically last year when Drew Brees got hurt, he held 100 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: down the fort form. So with Jamis Winston, let's just 101 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: assume that he ends up being a quarterback moving forward, 102 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: How do you feel like the Saints are gonna Are 103 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: they going to be confident with him coming in obviously 104 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: coming off a year last season with the Buccaneers where 105 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: he threw thirty interceptions. Yeah, the big thirty for thirty 106 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: last year with over thirty touchdown passes and thirty interceptions. 107 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: And that's really the big thing with Jamis is he's 108 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: got the experience, he's got the first round pedigree. But 109 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: unlike Teddy Bridgewater, I'm really really interested to see how 110 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints mulled their offense to Jamis Winston 111 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: because he's different than Drew Brees or Teddy. You know, 112 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Teddy is still a little bit more of that. And 113 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: everybody uses this as kind of a negative, but it's 114 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: not as kind of a game manager. Jamis wants to 115 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: assert himself in these games. He wants to take the 116 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: shot down the field, he wants to connect on some 117 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: big plays, and he's not always the best at playing 118 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: within the scope of the offense. And that's exactly what 119 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: New Orleans has designed their offense to be this year. 120 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: They have tailored it around not only Drew Breeze, his 121 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: strengths but his weaknesses. He doesn't have the deep all 122 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: that he used to, So what if they'd done instead 123 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: they get it to Alvin Kamara, they get it on 124 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: these short, open routes with timing and precision. I don't 125 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: know if that's Jamis's game, So that could be to 126 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: Atlanta's advantage, But that's also the exact same reason why 127 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: it could be a negative, because it's not as though 128 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: Sean Payton can't dial up those deep shots. We just 129 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: don't know what that looks like with James Winston running 130 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: the show. So if I'm Atlanta, I think you've kind 131 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: to be prepared for pretty much anything. You may get 132 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: some poorly thrown balls and you've got to take advantage 133 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: of those. But if James is hot, this isn't an offense. 134 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: I think that you can necessarily prepare for. By reviewing 135 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: the film of when Drew Brees is in there, well, 136 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: you you make a great point about the Falcons have 137 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: to prepare for everything because I look at the Saints 138 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: guys and I see a coaching staff that is very 139 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: creative and they know how to work with the tools 140 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: on their offense. So some could say, okay, well, Drew 141 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: Brees is not going to be in the lineup. This 142 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: is going to be a completely different team. Well, you 143 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: got to remember the guys they still have in uniform. 144 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: They still have Michael Thomas, they still have Alvin Kamer, 145 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: they still have Taysom Hill, who's a very dangerous player 146 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: in the limited role that he ends up providing for 147 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: the Saints. So well, I'll come back to you. With 148 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: this type of an injury to Drew Brees, do you 149 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: expect that Sean Payton and company are going to go 150 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: with more trickery if you will. Maybe it's more plays 151 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: where Taysom Hill is taking the ball from center. Maybe 152 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: it's more players where it's going to be a direct 153 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: snap to Alvin Camaros, where he can just automatically use 154 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: his athleticism to try to make the defense miss, try 155 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: to make some big plays for him. Because to me, 156 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: when I look at this, I see as an opportunity 157 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: as a really skilled offensive play caller to use all 158 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: of those weapons will that they have on offense, even 159 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: if they don't have Drew Brees. Yeah, and I think 160 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: that you even saw the very next three plays after 161 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: Drew Brees got hurt in this last game against San Francisco. 162 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: You really saw saw Sean Payton's creativity come to light. 163 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: He kept Drew Brees on the field for the first 164 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: two plays and had Taysom Hill at quarterback, so the 165 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: defense didn't really know what was coming. They didn't know 166 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: that Drew Brees was hurt. For the third play, they 167 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: bring Breeze back under center and it's a pitch to 168 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara for a touchdown. So Sean Payton knows how 169 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: to execute an offense even when Breeze is not the 170 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: focal point. Now, I don't know if they're going to 171 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: necessarily get more creative. I think they will with some 172 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: of their passing schemes down the field because that suits Jamis, 173 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: and I think they will would Taysom. You know, if 174 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: you saw kind of New Orleans game against Tampa Bay, 175 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: really big Taysom Hill game. He did a lot of 176 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: power runs down hill, especially in short yardage situations. I 177 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: would expect some of that. But I do think they 178 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,559 Speaker 1: made dial it back and depend on Alvin Kamara, who's 179 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: playing as well as he's ever played in the NFL 180 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: this season. I think he will be the focal point 181 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: of the offense. On Sunday one, of the most difficult 182 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: guys in the league, not just for the Saints but 183 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: in the entire league to slow down offensively with all 184 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: the different things that they do for him. The last 185 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: thing I'll say about this before we move on is 186 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: I want to see how the Saints respond when they 187 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: get that first turnover from Jamis or the first couple 188 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: of turnovers, because, as we've seen from him, sometime they 189 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: can come in bunches. They're playing with a ton of 190 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: confidence right now. Guys, they've won six straight games, They've 191 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: got weapons all across the offense, their defense is playing 192 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: at extremely high level. But what happens once the turnovers 193 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: start coming in bunches? Does that team start to fall 194 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: backwards a little bit and say this is the Jamis 195 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: that ended up getting booted out of Tampa because of 196 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: his turn issues. So we'll get a chance to see 197 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: what happens there with Drew Brees though, Kelsey, I want 198 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: to get your opinion on this because we saw last 199 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: year things kind of slow down maybe a little bit. 200 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: For Tom Brady in the discussion was when is he 201 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: going to hang it up? Well, he decided not to 202 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: hang it up. He decided to take fifty million dollars 203 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: and go down to Tampa tax free, by the way, 204 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: but I'm not counting. Do you think this is the 205 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: last time that maybe the Falcons have seen Drew Brees 206 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: because he is older, he is towards the end of 207 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: his career. Do you think he hangs it up or 208 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: do you think he still has more left than the tank? 209 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: You know, it is so hard to predict that, because 210 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: part of me says yes, because I was full blown 211 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: like the Saints were going all in on this year 212 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and this was going to be the last year you know, 213 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: Drew Brees was ever going to square off against Matt Ryan. 214 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: He was added to the broadcast booth or whatever he 215 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: chose to do in retirement. But part of me thinks 216 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: this is his decision is going to rest solely on 217 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: what happens with the Saints, because the Saints feel like 218 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: they have a championship caliber team and Drew Brees wants 219 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: a ring and he wants one more ring before he 220 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: calls it quits. And if this season, if he's able 221 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: to come back, and you know, this season goes well 222 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: for the Saints, and he feels good about walking away 223 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: for sure, But I don't know it's just really hard 224 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: to tell. He's just such a competitor. But at the 225 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: same time, you gotta think about all the injuries he suffered. 226 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: But I don't know. A part of me is like, 227 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: I'm ready for not Drew Brees up. But then at 228 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: the same time, I'm big on appreciating greatness in sports, 229 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, Lebron James, Michael Jordan, in this case, 230 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: Drew Brees. You know, I think I've tweeted it a 231 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: couple of times. Saints Anne Falcons fans should put their 232 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: beliefs about each team aside for a little bit and 233 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: just appreciate the quarterback play and what they're seeing between 234 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: Drew Brees and Matt Ryan, because it doesn't happen for 235 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: this long time very often in sports. And you think about, 236 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, all the times of the Celtics, the Lakers 237 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: in the NBA, and then you talk about some of 238 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: the greats, you know, with Jerry Rice and Joe Montana 239 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: and all those guys. You know what the Falcons have 240 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan for how long they have and Drew 241 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: Brees in New Orleans. I think everybody should just kind 242 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: of stake that in and we'll see if it's we'll 243 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: ever see it again. But when you were talking about 244 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, I was kind of thinking about I wonder 245 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: if when Jamis does throw his first interception, if the 246 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: rest of the Saints will feel kind of how I 247 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: do right now, kind of hoping that my ring line 248 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: doesn't fall over one more time, hoping that another interception 249 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: does not come like something that your camera does not 250 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: fall down from in front of you. Very good point, 251 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: because I'm hoping that doesn't happen for the next twenty 252 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: minutes or so well. I will say, you know, Kelsey 253 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: makes a great point about sometimes you just need to 254 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: appreciate the greatness, right because arguably three of the best 255 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL in one division right now as 256 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: far as what they've accomplished to date. But you look 257 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: at Drew Brees will and you think when a guy 258 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: decides to hang it up, it's usually because he can't 259 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: perform at the level that he's accustomed to, or maybe 260 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: because he doesn't feel like he has the weapons around him. 261 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: If I look at Drew Brees the way he played 262 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: so far this year, will his completion rate at about 263 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: seventy three percent this year and all the weapons that 264 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: he has to work with on offense. To me, that 265 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: doesn't spell a recipe for retirement, does it for you? No? No, 266 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: that that in and of itself does not. But I 267 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: think that it's gonna be really hard for any organization 268 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: to say, you know, thanks, but no thanks to a 269 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer, which Drew brees undout of last 270 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: You know, in my opinion, I would probably have him 271 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: in the top five quarterbacks of all time from just 272 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: a pure accomplishment standpoint of what he's done on the field. 273 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: But you know, what we saw before his injury, there 274 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: were limitations with him at the quarterback position. You know, 275 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: I mentioned that the Saints did have to tailor their 276 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: offense to not only what he does really well, which 277 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: is everything cerebrally, he's still pinpoint accurate, he doesn't take sack, 278 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: he gets rid of the ball quickly, but he just 279 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have that down the field, dynamic type of arm anymore. 280 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: And when you're seeing other players in the league like 281 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Holmes, like Russell Wilson, like a lot of these 282 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: young players who are able to make their offense so 283 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: much more dangerous because on any single throw they can 284 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: beat you deep that just stretches the field in an 285 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: entirely different way, and I haven't seen that from the 286 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: Saints so far this year. It's been a lot of 287 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. It's been a lot of Jared Cook kind 288 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: of over the middle. It's been a lot of these short, 289 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: quick routes. And ultimately, I think it's up to the 290 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Saints to decide do we really want to have to 291 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: kind of have a very specific game plan for how 292 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: we can win and it's proven to be successful. I mean, 293 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: we're sitting here talking about one of the kind of 294 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: contenders of the NFC right now, and that was with 295 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: Drew Brees at quarterback. So no, I'm not ready to 296 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: say that the Saints should move on from Drew Brees, 297 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: because I don't think they should. But when you start 298 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: looking at salary cap implications players that they're going to 299 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: have to lose there, this is kind of their best 300 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: I think window this in the past couple of years. 301 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: If Breese comes back and there to make a run 302 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: and they end up in the Super Bowl kind of 303 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: win or lose, that might be the time for Drew 304 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: Brees to say, look, I've done everything I want to do. 305 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: If they don't get there. That's when you have to wonder, 306 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, does he look at this injury situation. If 307 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: he ends up missing the rest of the season, maybe 308 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: he comes back. Rack. Can I just add one point 309 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: to Will what Will just said? Because I feel like 310 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: so many people have said exactly what you just said 311 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: to Will? Is it time for Drew Brees? And they 312 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: bring up Drew Brees can't throw the deep ball? Right? Okay, Well, 313 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: how about this. The Saints rank number four in points 314 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: per game, averaging thirty points per game and number four 315 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: an average time of possession. So to me, who cares 316 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: if he can't throw the deep ball? If they can 317 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: be that productive, who cares? You know? Yeah, who could 318 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: throw the people? Yeah, but they got somebody that could 319 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: pretty much do everything else better than everybody in the NFL. 320 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm kind of I get where you're going 321 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: with it. And there's a lot of discussion about the 322 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: lack of pushing the ball down the field. But I 323 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: was on the call that game against the Buccaneers, and 324 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: that him and that offense did everything and anything that 325 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: they wanted against that defense, which, by the way, he's 326 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: got some studs on the defensive side. Of the ball. 327 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: That offense didn't look like it was struggling at all. 328 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: Let's move on a little bit, Kelsey, because I like 329 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: where you're going right now, so I want to tea 330 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: you right back up with this. You gotta be quick, though, 331 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: because let's talk about the Bucks. They got back on 332 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: track on their game last weekend. What are the Buccaneers 333 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: this year? Are they the team that we saw against 334 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: the Saints? Are they the team that we saw against 335 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: the Panthers on Sunday? Are they somewhere in between? Can 336 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: I answer by saying I don't know. No, you can't 337 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: more definite than that. You said be quick, and to 338 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: be honest with you right now, I don't know. I 339 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: watched the Bucks a lot, and it's so hard to 340 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: tell what they are. Two weeks ago I said to 341 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: arch On face to face that I thought the Bucks 342 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: were the best team in the NFC. Then they go 343 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: and almost loose to the Giants, then they get blown 344 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: out by the Saints, So I don't know. I think 345 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: their defense can be outstanding. Obviously, you've seen what Todd 346 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: Bowls can do with the pass rushers they have upfront, 347 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: and they're playing better in the secondary. But sometimes on offense, 348 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there like Tom Brady's got all these 349 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: weapons and for whatever reason, it's just now working sometimes. 350 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: So right now I'm gonna say, I don't know, Well, 351 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: have you seen enough to give us the book, if 352 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: you will, the book on the Buccaneers on what they 353 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: are this year? Yes, And I think that when the 354 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: regular season comes to an end, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 355 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: will be playing the best football of anybody in the NFC. 356 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: I think that it's not uncommon. Keep in mind, this 357 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: team did not have an offseason to work with. There 358 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: are a lot of new players coming together trying to 359 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: work together. Another one just got added with Antonio Brown. 360 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: The defense is really kind of clicking. They've got their 361 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: moments where they look a little iffy, but generally it's 362 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: been getting better from the start of last season. And 363 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of young guys, especially in the secondary. 364 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: I like what Antoine Winfield junior does, Jamal Dean, Carlton Davis. 365 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: Their two corners are playing really good football. Upfront, They're 366 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: still really good. I'm not worried about the defense, and 367 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the offense. When you've got Tom 368 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: Brady there. All he has to do is really start 369 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: to gel with guys like Chris Godwin and Mike Evans 370 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: to a level that we haven't seen yet. It's starting 371 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: to get there. But Tom Brady is a notoriously a 372 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: stickler for being exactly on the same page with receivers. 373 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: He needs to know exactly what you're going to do. 374 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: I think that the addition of Antonio Brown is going 375 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: to be one of the most important acquisitions for any 376 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: team this year, because clearly Tom Brady loves what this 377 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: dude brings that they advocated for him to be in 378 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: New England. That first game that he was with New England, 379 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: Tom just looked his way every single play. So far, 380 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: He's not looked his way every time in Tampa, but 381 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: that's because he's got other really good weapons. But if 382 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown starts clicking, I really think that the offense 383 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: has the tools with Ronald Jones playing the way that 384 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: he is, to really take off. And if they do 385 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: the next few weeks, this team is as good as any, 386 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: not just in the NFC, but in the leak. Yeah, 387 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned their defense too. With Todd Bowles, we've seen 388 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: what he can do. They've got studs on the defensive 389 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: line linebackers and then the second there and you mentioned 390 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: a guy named Antoine Winfield junior from Minnesota. Yeah, there 391 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: you go. Anyway, I just wanted to get that in 392 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: there because everyone's Arch just usually gives me a hard 393 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: time about the Minnesota behind me, So I just I 394 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: felt like I would drop that in there. All right, 395 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: So we talked a little bit about Arch and Shockley 396 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: being off this week because the bye week. So it 397 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: was the bye week for the Falcons, So I need 398 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: you guys to put on your coaching hats or your headsets, right, Okay, 399 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: so you've got your headsets here. Kelsey, if you were 400 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Raheem Morris and you had this bye week with what 401 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: you've seen through the first nine weeks of the season, 402 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: what would have been your focus and not just giving 403 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: guys time off because we know that they got to 404 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: have time off during the bye week, right, they need 405 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: to decompress a little bit, but to finish out the season, Kelsey, 406 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: what would have been your message if you are Kelsey 407 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: Morris to the team as far as how they're going 408 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: to finish out the season. Well, I think I break 409 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: it up into two different messages. I think I would 410 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: start with the idea the overall identity of both offensive 411 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: and defensive and rather than saying I want us to 412 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: be this blanket tough football team whatever, I want to 413 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: pick one thing on defense and one thing on offense 414 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: that I want to make sure that we are night 415 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: into it better than we were at the beginning of 416 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: the season. And for me, on offense, that's the red zone. 417 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: This offense is way too talented and has way too 418 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: many weapons to not be scoring more touchdowns. And it's 419 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: just that simple, because if they're able to be more 420 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: efficient in the red zone, I don't know which defense 421 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: can stop all the weapons back and ta And on defense, 422 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is how to generate more 423 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: of a pass rush without having to blitz everyone. And 424 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: that's gonna be really difficult because they don't have Dante 425 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: Fowler right now. Tack obviously is no longer with the team. 426 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: They gotta get find a way to get Moreland Davidson 427 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: going they a second round pick. So for me, I 428 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: would probably break it up into two different messages, one 429 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: for the offense, one for the defense. Let's be really 430 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: good at this one thing and really good at this 431 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: thing and then we've got all the pieces in place 432 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: to really make a run here. And if she would 433 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: had just a little bit more passion and maybe a 434 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: bad word mixed in there, I would have believed her 435 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: as the head coach. I might have actually gone out 436 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: and done that. So let's just see, will if you 437 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: can take it to the next level. Here your Raheem Morris, 438 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: your message for the rest of the season. Obviously you 439 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: got to take it one game out of time, But 440 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: where do you feel like this team needs a little improvement, focus, 441 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: extra work on to achieve some of the goals that 442 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: they've got this year. Well, look, I mean I think 443 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: it actually just goes beyond messaging. I think he's done 444 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: a good job in flipping the mindset with his message, 445 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: making it feel different than you know when DQ was here. 446 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: He seems like his own man, his own coach, with 447 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: his own leadership style. The bye week, to me, is 448 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 1: not a time for messaging. The bye week is his 449 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: first chance to really get under the hood from a 450 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: strategic and a scheme standpoint. Now that you got a 451 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: week speek off, the players gone, you don't have to 452 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: worry about an upcoming opponent. Yes, take some time look 453 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: at the Saints, but figure out what exactly you want 454 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: to do as a coach and have your identities at 455 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: playing on offense and defense. Come up with some new things, 456 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: throw some new wrinkles out there. This is the toughest 457 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: stretch of the season, but you've got the opportunity to 458 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: really get creative with the scheme, with the types of 459 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 1: plays that you want to run, and throw stuff out 460 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: there that they've not only never seen this season, but 461 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: they've never seen with Dan Quinn as the head coach. 462 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: So that if I'm a Raheem Morris, That's what I'm 463 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: trying to do is give them stuff that is not 464 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: only unscouted, that they've never even thought was possible with 465 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: this team. And the other thing that I would do 466 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: is just make sure that the guy's heads are clear. 467 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: The first half the season does not matter. That you've 468 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: played yourself back into a position where you're not completely 469 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: out of it, but you still have a very tough 470 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: uphill climb. Continue that one week approach, forget about the 471 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: first of the season, and then take it upon themselves 472 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: as coaches to really put together game plans that these 473 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: other teams have never seen before. One thing you have 474 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: to have as a coach and a player in the 475 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: National Football League is a short term memory. So it's 476 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: a great point that you make. Well, they can't think 477 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: about anything that happened during that and five start to 478 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: start the season. They have to be living in the present. 479 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: They got to be thinking about moving forward. And I'll 480 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: piggyback on both of you, guys said to try to 481 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: summarize what my thoughts are, because offensively, I feel like 482 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: they've been good enough to win more games than what 483 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: they've won this year. They're averaging twenty seven points per game. 484 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: I actually went back and looked at it, and there's 485 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: twelve teams that are better than them right now as 486 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: far as scoring on offense. Okay, six of those teams 487 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: are leading their division in scoring. Every other team of 488 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: those twelve has a winning record. Okay, when you score 489 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: twenty seven points in the National Football League, you should 490 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: win more games than what you have done throughout this year. 491 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: So my biggest point is whatever they have to do. 492 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: If it's Will, if it's pulling out a new wrinkled defensive, 493 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: if it's Kelsey, it's bring more pass rush, but they 494 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: have got to find a way to limit points. Defensively, 495 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't care if an imposing offense has four hundred 496 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: and fifty yards of offense, but if they get a 497 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: fourth down stop inside the five yard line or they 498 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: get an interception in the end zone, all that you 499 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: have to do is do not let the opposing offense score. 500 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Because this offense. Have they been great? No, but they've 501 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: been good enough to where they they should have more 502 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: w's in the win column because they're scoring twenty seven 503 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: points a game. So if I'm the head coach, I'm 504 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: finding a way to create that wrinkle defensively or challenge 505 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: my guys to say, I don't care how many yards, 506 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: Yes you want to stop them, but keep them out 507 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: of the end zone. With this offense that we have, 508 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: we got a chance to win more football games. And again, 509 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: it's not looking back at the previous season, but they've 510 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: been good on offense. They've been good enough on offense 511 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: to get more victories in the win column. All right, 512 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: let's transition here because I want to kind of talk 513 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: a little bit about the Falcon Saints rival. We're not 514 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: going to talk about XS and o's here. We're gonna 515 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about memorable moments and will. I 516 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: want to start with you because you mentioned before we 517 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: came on air one that kind of sticks out to 518 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: you as far as a memory from this rivalry, and 519 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: it was actually one that I participated in. I'm actually 520 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: proud that you are old enough to remember a game 521 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: that had Buddy well, yeah, you know, and I wouldn't 522 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: say super It's definitely from my childhood. But thanks having there, 523 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: you go, just had to get a dig in there. 524 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: But you know, having grown up kind of in the 525 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: city of Atlanta, of course, you know all about the 526 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: Falcons and Saintans rivalry. But you know, people who like me, 527 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: frankly grew up and enjoyed the Matt Ryan era a 528 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: little bit spoiled. This is actually a lot of it 529 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: spoiled because for a long time the Falcons Saints were 530 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: a very intimate rivalry, but only because they had absolutely 531 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: kind of no national exposure. So it was purely between 532 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: these teams and these fan bases, which is why it 533 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: has continued and endured as one of the best rivalries. 534 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: The game that you played in RAC two thousand and 535 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: five Week six matchup. This was a thirty four thirty 536 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: one game with a game winning field goal no time 537 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: left on the clock. By the way, a very important 538 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: part of this particular rivalry. It happened in the Alamodome 539 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: right in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, A very important 540 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: part for the state of Louisiana, something that had will 541 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: forever tie this rivalry because would have had what happened 542 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: in the reopening of the Superdome. So there's a little 543 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: bit of everything there. I mean Michael Vick and his 544 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: cousin Aaron Brooks both playing quarterback together. The team's combined 545 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: for three hundred and seventy one rushing yards, which seems 546 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: like a bygone era when you talk about today's NFL game, 547 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: but very much not uncommon for those Falcons teams. I mean, 548 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: one of the top teams, if not the top team 549 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: every single year in rushing yards. And that was partially 550 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: because of what Michael Vick could do. But TJ. Ducketting 551 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: worked done in there as well. So I just this 552 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: game stuck out to me because those teams didn't do 553 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: well that year. I mean the Falcons one eight and eight, 554 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: which was a letdown based on the fact that they 555 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: were in the NFC Championship game just the year four. 556 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: The Saints thirteen. None of that mattered thirty four thirty one. 557 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: This was as closely competitive a game as any in 558 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: a series defined by close and competitive games, and it 559 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: just goes to show you, even if the season's not 560 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: going your way. Last year was a perfect example, both 561 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: of these teams are going to come out swinging from 562 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: the jump. Yeah. I remember that game vividly will because 563 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: we were going into, as you mentioned, the Alamo Dome, 564 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: and there's there's usually a lot of how do I 565 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: call it displeasure with the players in that game because 566 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: of this rivalry. So there's not a whole lot of 567 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: chit chat that goes on before games because a lot 568 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: of times that chitchat would turn into some scuffles around 569 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: the fifty yard line. But I can remember this was 570 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: a different year because when we got on the field, 571 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: there were so many guys that were talking amongst each other, 572 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: meaning Falcons and Saints, because we felt for them and 573 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: all the things that they were going through, having displaced 574 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: from their homes and having to play their home games 575 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: in a different state, and all the different frustrations and 576 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: headaches that all they were trying to deal with on 577 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: top of being a professional football player and going out 578 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: there and performing. You mentioned the record. I don't know 579 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: how it could have been for them to have a 580 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: more successful year with everything that they were going through. 581 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: But I remember that game. I remember snapping the field 582 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: goal where Todd Peterson actually ended up kicking the field 583 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: goal to win it. And actually there was a penalty 584 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: because he missed the first field goal. There's a holding penalty, 585 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: which we got another shot, and then Todd ended up 586 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: knocking the field goal through to prevent us going to overtime. 587 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: And that was definitely a great moment. And Kelsey, you've 588 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: got a little bit of a different viewpoint on this 589 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: because you don't go back to the early two thousands 590 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: and like I do. And let's not talk about age 591 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: here or anything like that, but your experience when this 592 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: rivalry has been a little bit different. But I think 593 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: it's a cool one to get your viewpoint because it's 594 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: not necessarily about I remember this play, that play or 595 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: this play. It's more on a macro thirty thousand foot level. Yeah, 596 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: and it's been really cool. So I'm from right outside 597 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: of Baltimore, Maryland, and I grew up huge NFL fan, 598 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: and the rivalry that I was a part of was 599 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: the Raven Steelers and that rivalry you could say rivals 600 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: the Falcons Saints for one of the best rivals in 601 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: the rivalries in the NFL. But the difference, and I'm 602 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: glad you brought this up, is that when you talk 603 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: about Raven Steelers, you talked about physical Ray Lewis, Troy 604 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: Paul Lamalu, like those defenses. But then you go to 605 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: the Falcons and Saints. And when I started covering the 606 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: team in twenty fifteen, I've been fully a part of 607 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and Drew Brees in their prime and it's 608 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: just been really cool to see the differences in the 609 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: styles that these teams play. But honestly, the best part 610 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: about it is I'm a sportsman. That's why I got 611 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: into this business. And being in Ubers in New Orleans. 612 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: When you know your Uber drivers driving, then she's like, 613 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: and I hate those dirty birds and I love me 614 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: some Sean Payton and she's driving you and she doesn't 615 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: even know that You're working for the Falcons in the 616 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: back seat, But I'm just dying living it up. And 617 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, being in at Atlanta obviously don't really get 618 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: to be in the stadium on game day that much, 619 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: but just seeing the way that the fans doesn't matter 620 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: what the Falcons record is, they show up for the 621 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: Saints game. And I think it's been a really cool 622 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: rivalry to see, and I'm glad it's been competitive that 623 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: it hasn't been when you look at the total records, 624 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: it hasn't been one team has really won it more 625 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: so than the other. And for me, that's been the 626 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: coolest part because these fan bases even more than the players. 627 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: I think they really get into it, and you know, 628 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: having some of these rivalries happen on Thanksgiving Day has 629 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: kind of brought it out even more, which has been 630 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: really fun. Yeah, it's a great point because I don't 631 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: know if we talk about the rivalry as much in 632 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: the locker room, but anytime I would go out and 633 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: do a function when I was a player, you'd always 634 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: when you ran into a Saints fan, they would always 635 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: be happy to tell you what they thought about this 636 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: matchup and how happy they would be to tell you 637 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: how much you were going to lose in the next game. 638 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: But it is from a fans perspective, it's it's been 639 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: a great rivalry and guys, I'd be remiss if I 640 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: didn't mention this, because was actually one of my greatest 641 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: moments from this rivalry. Was a game that I wasn't 642 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: a part of anymore. Um. And it was the game, 643 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: the first game back in the Superdome for the Saints, 644 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,239 Speaker 1: and I think everybody remembers where Steve Gleason ended up 645 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: blocking the punt for the Falcons. That really kind of 646 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: just that. They say it was the rebirth of New Orleans. 647 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: And the reason why I bring this up is that 648 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: was the first game back in the Superdome for the 649 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: Falcons without me as the long snapper on the punt team. 650 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm not away ended up differently, but it wasn't me 651 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: out there for the first time in six years. I 652 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: had been the long snapper every year. I'd made plenty 653 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: of trips to New Orleans and again without being in 654 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: that meeting room or or how they had schemed up 655 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: the protection. UM. I do remember that play vividly, and 656 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: I also remember my phone blowing up afterwards and all 657 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: my friends that were saying, are you watching this game? 658 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: Falcon just got a punt blocked and it wasn't you, 659 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I realized this. I was in 660 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: Seattle at the time, but I'll never forget that moment 661 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: just because it was obviously a big moment in this rivalries, 662 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: even bigger moment for the New Orleans Saints. And I 663 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: know we're Falcon's people here, but that was that was 664 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: a big game. And obviously that play will go down 665 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: forever just because of the impact that Steve Leason had 666 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: on that game, and obviously all the things that have 667 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: come down with him from a health perspective has been 668 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: so unfortunate, but it was. It's been cool to be 669 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: part of that rivalry as a player, and I'm sure 670 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,479 Speaker 1: those guys are appreciing that as well.
