1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, and welcome to another edition of The

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Falcon's Final Whistle podcast. I'm Scott bar here as always

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: with Tory mclaney and Chris Ram, and we just got

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: done talking about how I wanted to come up with

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: a new introductory phrase and how I couldn't think of it.

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: My brain is so hardwired to saying exactly that. Chris

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Ram gave the stamp of approval that means everything to me,

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: so I was able to go along with what we've

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: always done. I wish that way. I'm mad that my

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: stamp of approval is not on the list. You haven't

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: even said that you want my stamp of approval, and

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: now I'm feeling left out. I'm sad. Good. I know

13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Chris is honestly between the three of us. Chris is

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: definitely like if we're going on like a cool meter,

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: which me even saying the word cool meater eater means

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: that I'm not even on the meter. Um. I think

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: you know what, fine one. Everybody's got our thing, you know,

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: everybody's cooling their own way. Yeah. Yeah, And we have

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: such a cool topic today. Fun transition, great transition, right,

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: thank you, forced laughter. Nonetheless, we are going to talk

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: Falcons football today, I swear it um and we're going

22
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: to dive into our question of the week, which is

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: which pertains to the future or Falcons future of one

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: Corderill Patterson, somebody who's made no bones about it. He'd

25
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: like to return to Atlanta for a second year. That's

26
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: very clear. It's not necessarily a guarantee. And we're going

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: to break down the pros and cons and pluses and

28
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: minuses and eventually drop a bowl prediction on everybody about

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: whether they're going to be able to retain someone that

30
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus recently designated as the best offensive signing

31
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: of last offseason, the best in the entire league terms

32
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: of value, it doesn't get much better. It was a

33
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: one year deal for three million yea right, three million dollars.

34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: He definitely exceeded that that pay rate and what and

35
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: I think I named him the most valuable player for

36
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: the Falcons because he did so much. The guy even

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: played Hail Mary safety and was a kickoff returner for

38
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: a while, of running back, receiver, all that type of thing.

39
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: There's no questioning his value. But now as we kind

40
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: of turned the page here and look forward, I guess

41
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, Chris, I guess we'll start with you

42
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: m terms of resigning him. What are your kind of

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on that if you want to play GM, you know,

44
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: how you evaluate Patterson and maybe what type of value

45
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: that you place on him if you want him back. Yeah, well,

46
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: I think with CP, I think it's interesting because his

47
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: numbers diminished at the end of the season, and I

48
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: think that was partly I don't know if it was

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: really because if you could say, like, oh, teams would

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: figure him out or something like that, But for one,

51
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: the Ryan lanes weren't there where they seemed to be

52
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. And two, it seemed like he

53
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: wasn't used as a receiver as much as he was

54
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: through the first twelve or thirteen games that he was in,

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: so that seemed to also play a role in the

56
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: numbers he had at the end of the season. But

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: I think the biggest question for me when you think

58
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: about bringing cpback is do you just terrifying No, and

59
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith believed that he that this year wasn't a

60
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: one year. Wonder do they think that he can recreate

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: this year? If they feel that he can, he'll be

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: thirty one in March. If they think that he can

63
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: do that, then maybe you find a way to work

64
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: that out. Again, there are plenty of needs elsewhere, and

65
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could definitely feel the production he had,

66
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, talk about Calvin being back, other guys esuppocially

67
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: coming back. You can feel that receivering production and you

68
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: could likely feel that rushing production as well. So I

69
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: think the biggest question is for them. I'm kind of

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: turning your question into a question, But for those two,

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: do you think that he can replicate that? And if

72
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: you do, then maybe you try to make it work

73
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: out in a team friendly way. Yeah, it's where what

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: do you think about what Chris is bringing up here?

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's lots of valid questions. No, I think

76
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: they're all the right questions, And I think that it's

77
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: really complicated because I feel like, you know, a guylike

78
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: CP in the year he has it should be rewarded.

79
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: But at the exact same time and in the exact

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: same breath, you do wonder is was this just a

81
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: one hit wonder like what Chris is saying, or is

82
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: this something that can be expounded upon in a couple

83
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: more years. I mean, I think that's where you're at,

84
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: like the Falcons as an organization or at this really

85
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: interesting I think crossroads where they're not exactly they're not

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: where they want to be. They're still the early stages

87
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: of trying to get the foundation set for where I

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: think Arthur Smith and Terry Fonte want to want to go.

89
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: And I say this a lot and just kind of

90
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: looking at the cap, and I think that really and truly,

91
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: when you're looking at the cap, I think there's a

92
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: lot to be said about what the Falcons will be

93
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: able to do in twenty twenty three that they're not

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: yet able to do in twenty twenty two. I think

95
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: if this is a twenty twenty three conversation where we're

96
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: talking about CP, then I think it's a little different

97
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: of a conversation and you maybe do have more of

98
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: an ability to resign him. But in twenty twenty two,

99
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons are still strapped for cash. Things aren't easy

100
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: by any means in regards to the salary cap, and

101
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 1: they're really going to have to be very strategic about

102
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: the money that they're giving to some of these guys.

103
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: And even though CP had the year that he did,

104
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: and I think it should be rewarded. I just don't

105
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: know if the Falcons have the means to give him

106
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: what he would be asking, which is a pretty significant

107
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: number if you're going off of what his market value

108
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: projections are. Yeah, and we're going to dive into all

109
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: of these questions, including whether they would go, whether the

110
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: Falcons would go for some of these for some of

111
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: these projected salary numbers. We're going to talk about Terry

112
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: Fontono's statement about the best form of free agency is

113
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: rewarding your own players. We're going to talk about Cordarrell's

114
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: social media campaign which is very interesting called Terry Fonel

115
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: Scary Terry, I think yeah at one point, and what

116
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: do you think or what we think is required to

117
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: get Patterson back in red and black next year. But

118
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: before we do all that, big thank you to our

00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: the social media stuff in a little bit, let's go

126
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: into let's kind of combine the these first to these

Speaker 1: first couple of topics, and you can also, guys read

128
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: about our question of the week on Atlanta falcons dot com.

129
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: We have a full roundtable where where we go over

130
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: a number of things that Tory mclaney brings up. She

131
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: is the question the queen of the questions. I don't know, yeah, okay,

132
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: let me thanks to my crown real quick. Maybe I

133
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: should start wearing a crown while we record these and yeah,

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm just the queen of the questions. Eventually we're gonna

135
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: have to go to video here. I mean that would

136
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: involve I agree, I completely agree. I think people would

137
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: love to watch us just stare at each other and

138
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: laugh like I think I think people would like that, Yeah,

139
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: laughing till I'm literally crying. Yeah, especially if there's any

140
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: more data. App updates are always I hope not okay,

141
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, Terry fontineau Is has talked about the best

142
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: form of free agency resigning your own players. Um with

143
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: with that in mind, and I'm just reading Tory's question, now,

144
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: where do you where do you prioritize Patterson in regards

145
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: to the other free agents. The other free agents are younger,

146
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge, Foyer, Lewiken. There's a number of guys who

147
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: are in on one year deals. I mean, um, and

148
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: so what do you where do you prioritize Cordarrell in

149
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: that group with some of the bigger guys Hayden Hurst

150
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: and guys like that. You go ahead, Chris, Okay, Yeah,

151
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: how's it gonna say. I think we both started breathing

152
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: and talking at the same time. I was like, you're

153
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna go Yeah. I was just like, I don't know

154
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: what's going But I think I would say he's right

155
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: up there near the top. I would I would probably

156
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: say that flee A would be the biggest priority if

157
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: I deciding who designed, just because of his age and

158
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: because I think Foy has a lot of room to grow,

159
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: Like I think he was just scratching the surface of

160
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: where he could be this season. I think, you know,

161
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: the ta people say about the tackle's number is what

162
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: it really means. If it's if it means that you're

163
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: you had a good season, or if it means that

164
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: you're you know, defensive line wasn't really playing well. But regardless,

165
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: still a lot of tackles, and I think he had

166
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: had a good year. But with CP, yeah, I think

167
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: he's right up there around the same level. I think

168
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: with Gauge with his production and what he done what

169
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: he did, he was the team's second, either the first

170
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: or second most you know, dynamic offensive weapon. With Kyle,

171
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: he was probably the most consistent up until the end

172
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: of the season. So I'll put him right behind Foyer

173
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: on this. I was maybe you say, on this around

174
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: the same as Gauge. I guess Gage is younger too,

175
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe right behind Gauge. Yeah, I agree with that.

176
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I put him too. And because

177
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: I personally think Foy a is the number one free

178
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: agent for the Falcons that you're looking to race on

179
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: this offseason, and not going to talk about Foy because

180
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I talk about Foy twenty four to seven.

181
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: I write about him all the time. I apparently talk

182
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: about him all the time too, So I'm just like,

183
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: we're not going to go there yet, because we're probably

184
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: going to do a whole nother podcast just about Foyer.

185
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: But what I will say is that with CP, I

186
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: do kind of put him in the same category as

187
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: I put Russell Gage, like, sure, it'd be great to

188
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: have them back, but you know that there are going

189
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: to be other offensive skill players elsewhere, whether we're talking

190
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: about the draft, whether we're talking about free agency, there

191
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: are going to be guys out there who can produce

192
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: at the same clip that these guys have in twenty

193
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: twenty one. And honestly, you're looking for more production as

194
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: you move forward into twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three, obviously,

195
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: because you if you're the Falcons, you're hoping this thing

196
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: is growing. So I think, like with that in mind,

197
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: if your look, if I'm looking at the top three

198
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: free agents this offseason for the Falcons being Foy, ACP,

199
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: and Russ, I think it's obviously Foy a number one,

200
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: and then two three can be interchangeable between CP and Russ.

201
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: And I say that because I think it's more difficult

202
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: to replace Foyer at that mic linebacker position than it

203
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: is to replace the production of CP and Russell gauge.

204
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: When you have a full complement of offensive skill players

205
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: which I think, I don't want to say are interchangeable,

206
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: but to a certain degree I felt, I do feel

207
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: like you can get that production in multiple spots, and

208
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: especially if this offense can improve from twenty twenty one

209
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two. So that's kind of just where

210
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: my mind's at. Yeah, they are so reliance on Patterson.

211
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: At times during the year, it was like if he

212
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't do a heroic thing, the offense was going to sputter.

213
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that if on the Falcons.

214
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that reliance on that player.

215
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: But you can see his value. If things aren't going

216
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: right at other spots, he can just do a lot

217
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: of interesting things that I think would be advantageous. And

218
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: for as much as Patterson enjoyed being here, the Falcons

219
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: enjoyed having him here, that seemed very clear to me

220
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: that Arthur Smith really liked him. I do think that

221
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: we talk about prioritizing the free agents right, and if

222
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: you put Foyer at one, and that seems to be

223
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: our consensus, It's about what it's going to take to

224
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: get that deal done right, because you're talking about a

225
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: finite and a relatively small amount of money that you

226
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: can play with, even if you create more cap space.

227
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: So if it takes maybe your arm to be twisted

228
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: a little bit to get Foyer and it's a little uncomfortable.

229
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Then you have less of a pool for the others. Right,

230
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: So that, in my opinion, you need to get Foya

231
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: done before free agency even hits. Just get it done

232
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: so you understand the playing field of where you're at

233
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: with the guy that you really want to keep. I

234
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: don't know Foya is going to go along that, but nonetheless, um,

235
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: since since Patterson is in that second tier, I think

236
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: it's important. But when you look at this spot track number, right,

237
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: two years, eighteen million dollars, Yeah, that's tough that that

238
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons aren't going to be able to play with that.

239
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: They just aren't, like, point blank, are not going to

240
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they should be able to play

241
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: with that. And this is no knock on Patterson, who

242
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: have covered it at two different teams. He's a he's

243
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: an elite athlete who has done some really interesting things.

244
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: But as Chris brought up, he's gonna be thirty one

245
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: next year, right, And is it flash in the pan

246
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: the fact that we are wondering that we're not the

247
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: only people wondering that, right, right? Yeah? And and I

248
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: think that that that kind of plays into it about

249
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: what kind of what kind of offer, what kind of

250
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: value suits him. Like I talked about wanting to get

251
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Foyer done before he hits the open market, maybe some

252
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: teams go nuts for him, right, I think maybe you

253
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: want to let corderall kind of see the market and

254
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: hope the market is depressed in some way for him

255
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: and then they can get him at a good value.

256
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Yeah, you know it's gonna say too.

257
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: I think when you look at that evaluation, I don't

258
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: think anyone's going to that number. To be completely honest,

259
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone anyone's paying that number. And I

260
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: think he knows that, and that's why he's campaigning the

261
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: way he is, because perhaps if he does hit the

262
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: if he does hit the open market, then he might

263
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: get even less than what maybe the Falcons offer him

264
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: before he gets out there, before free agency officially starts

265
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: and teams offer him. So I think I think he's

266
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: aware that. Like I said before, I think to make

267
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: them I think even to make the money work with TP,

268
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: there will be tough decisions, you know, with his best

269
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: friend on the team, with Mike Davis, because I don't

270
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: think there's a I don't think there's a future where

271
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: they both are back in the backfield, because that that

272
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: will free up money to give to him. And I

273
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: think my thought too is if if the Fucking's were

274
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: to bring him back, I would think it would be

275
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: a heavily incentivized deal with the front half the first

276
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: year guaranteed. And I could see something like that working

277
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: out where you know, you would essentially have to outperform

278
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: what you did this year to earn you know, six

279
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: million dollars or whatever amount of money it is. Yeah,

280
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good way to structure it.

281
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's I mean, it's not going to

282
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: be another one year deal, I would assume. But you're

283
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: right if you put all the guarantees up front and

284
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: you can find a way to make that work. And

285
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: to your point that well, I guess, in addition to

286
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: your point that we talk about the wide Receiver Corps,

287
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: the only guy's under contractor Calvin Ridley and Frank Darby.

288
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: The only guy under contract in the running back room

289
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: is Mike Davis, and there's no guarantee that he could

290
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: be around. The Falcons could be looking at a clean slate.

291
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: I do think it's an either or situation. Right, if

292
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: you can get Cordarrell, then then you can let Mike

293
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: go maybe draft a younger runner. No matter what happens

294
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: with Patterson, the Falcons still need a workhorse, right that,

295
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: they still need a guy that can produce, and younger

296
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: is always better at that position. So I think it's

297
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting to see how this thing shakes out.

298
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, do you agree Tory that it's gonna have

299
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: to be like a I mean, two years, one year

300
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: at a super high rate, Like I don't know what

301
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Patterson might take, how much leverage that he has at

302
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: this point. I mean that all of those questions are

303
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: questions that I think, like the CPS agent CP, the

304
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: Falcons are all kind of weighing as we kind of

305
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: head into free agency in the next what is it

306
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: next month? I mean, I just kind of think about it,

307
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, in order for the Falcons to

308
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: sign CP, CPS going to have to be willing to

309
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: play ball a little bit. Like, you know, he's saying

310
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: that he wants to stay in Atlanta, and Atlanta he's

311
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: wearing sweatshirts that say Atlanta, Georgia changed my life, and

312
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, and he's saying he wants to stay in Atlanta,

313
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, Like, if you want to stay in Atlanta,

314
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: the way that you stay in Atlanta is to work

315
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: with the Falcons because they don't have the money to

316
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: pay you everything that you're probably going to be asking for.

317
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: So if you really feel strongly about staying in Atlanta

318
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: and potentially retiring in Atlanta sometime in the next year

319
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: two years, you gotta essentially work with the organization in

320
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: order to do that. If you're just in it for

321
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: the paycheck and the money, which if if that's all

322
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: it is, then that's all it is, and that's great.

323
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Go get your paycheck, my guy. Like, no one's gonna

324
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: be mad or upset about that. But if it's also

325
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: this like sentimental feeling of wanting to be in Atlanta

326
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: and to stick with this coaching staff that essentially helped

327
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: you kind of like crack a code that in the

328
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: ten years that you've been in this league it hasn't

329
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: happened yet. I mean, I think that's all something you have, Dwayne.

330
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: We also have to think about it this way that

331
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: like this is very much going to be a negotiation process.

332
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that this is going to be

333
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: a solid negotiation from CPS camp to the Falcons side

334
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: of things, And it's going to be a lot of

335
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: talks back and forth of trying to figure out where

336
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: this deal could be made. And I think there is

337
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: a possibility that o'deal could be made, but it really

338
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: will depend on how much CPS willing to play around

339
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: and play ball with the Falcons organization in this and

340
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: so in that they always say to not negotiate through

341
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: the media, Right, Oh yeah, well Cordero's not really negotiating necessarily,

342
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: but he's talking a lot about wanting to stay in Atlanta,

343
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: posting a lot of if you guys follow his Twitter,

344
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: especially you know, seeing pictures of him hugging Arthur blank

345
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: and cut the check Arthur, and you know, a photo

346
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: of him and quote unquote scary Terry. And although I've

347
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: imposted an update of his locker and like lockers still here,

348
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: like with the emoji the sunglass emojis or something like that. Like, so,

349
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: this is someone who's actively campaigning to stay with the Falcons,

350
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: which I find incredibly interesting because I don't think many

351
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: people do that during free agency. Yeah, and it's pretty

352
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool too, because I think it puts the

353
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: front office in a kind of a tricky situation. Not really,

354
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: I mean, if they care that much about, you know,

355
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: the fan base, but if you what he said in

356
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: November when I talked to him was like he already

357
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: had this on his mind, like I try to win

358
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: your fans over so when it's contract time, they're also

359
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: rooting for me too, And that's literally happening right now.

360
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: So if they aren't able to come to a deal,

361
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: and then fans say, while this guy really wanted to

362
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: be here he was campaigning, how many guys do we

363
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: have who do that? And you won't even resign them

364
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: like that? Something like that, when it couldn't even have

365
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: been that way. It could be he's behind the scenes

366
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: saying something completely different, I need this much money, but

367
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: on the outside it looks like he wants to be

368
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: here for whatever and y'all couldn't make it work. So

369
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: it is an interesting tactic. I guess it has pros

370
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: and cons. Yeah, raised, I have my hand raised. We

371
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: need videos so I know we really do. I'm legit,

372
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: like raising my hand in the camera shot. Uh, Chris,

373
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: didn't you ask Terry if he had seen Twitter. Yeah,

374
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: what did you say? You just started laughing the whole time.

375
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: He said, I didn't. He just said, I don't notice it.

376
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: He was kind of looking at being like, has absolutely

377
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: someone has absolutely screenshot and sent it to Scary Terry

378
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: and be like, scary Terry, what's this about? Yeah, there's Yeah,

379
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 1: he said, I don't notice it, man, but you know

380
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: it was it was one of them. I think he

381
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: notices it. Ye, he's a funny guy, but a guy

382
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: that's scary Terry Arthur Blank has seen it. That's what.

383
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: That's what. That's better. That's even a that's a better question.

384
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: He called him pops. Yeah, I think that's his profile

385
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: pick now right it is? Yeah, out of them, all

386
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: them given a last little hug. Yeah, it's it's It's

387
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: definitely an interesting strategy or um and I think it

388
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: does work because the fans they want players who want

389
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: to represent their town and their colors and their logo, right,

390
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: and Patterson is a guy that clearly wants to do that.

391
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: At the same time, you know, who knows if he

392
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: hits the open market, right, I'm gonna rewind start over, right,

393
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: this is this is an opportunity maybe the last one

394
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: to cash in, right. And I don't know what cash

395
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 1: in means. It doesn't mean cash in like you know,

396
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: like like a true tier a free agent. But this

397
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for him to go make some money

398
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: and earn longer. He's been planning on one year deals

399
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: for a long time essentially, so this is that shot.

400
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: If I was in that position, just speaking for me,

401
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, Yeah, I'm gonna go get some no

402
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: doubt Queen video because I'm sitting here just like the

403
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: money signs like dropped in dollars, like go get your

404
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: paycheck man, yeah, and and and kind of do what

405
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: you gotta do to get it now. If if it

406
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: can work out where Atlanta you know, offers that, but

407
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, I would really be trying to say, hey man,

408
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: look at look thirty one other teams. This is what

409
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: I can do if you know, if I'm still on

410
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: the open market by March, let's let's uh, let's fill

411
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: up the dance card. So I think that that plays

412
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: into it too. Even though I know how old am

413
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: I said, I know it was so funny. Anybody watched

414
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: Bridger tin up in here the dance card I'm reading.

415
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm currently reading a book. It's called Bringing Down the

416
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: Duke The Duke, and it's essentially like that time period

417
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: she was talking in. It's about Oxford women's suffrage movement

418
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: in eighteen seventy nine. Yep, and just that old yeah,

419
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: that's scot Bear eighteen seventy nine nine. Oh my gosh,

420
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: this podcast has run off the rails. I did it

421
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: the first time about fifteen seconds in, and then it

422
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: just became an okay thing to do. We need to

423
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: We need a quote graphic with that on there, the

424
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: women's suffrage movement, Tory on there, and like black and

425
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: white and like nice, I'm stopping type fun or like

426
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: we should just have a series of quotes Tory mcilaby

427
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: talking about resigning or getting asked about football questions in

428
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: dating apps, and the next week talking about women's suffrage

429
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: in Oxford University in eighteen seventy nine. Oh god, next thing,

430
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, you're getting aggregated by Oxford magazine or something. Hey,

431
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: that's fine, we'll do that. Tapping into all new elements

432
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: of search engine optimization. Okay, we're trying to get that

433
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: never mind, Oh god, okay, all right here we're starting

434
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: to wind down to the end of this thing here.

435
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: Let's trying to put us back on course, maybe just

436
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: maybe U two final questions, what do you think will

437
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: need to happen for the Falcons to resign him? And

438
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: do you think that he's a Falcon next year? Ready go?

439
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: I think to resign him, to resign him, like I said,

440
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: I think Mike will have to go, and then it'll

441
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: have to be a heavily incentivized deal. And then I

442
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: think I said, I think I said earlier when we

443
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: were writing this, I said, yes, I think the fuckings

444
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: resign him, and I said that it'll be I think

445
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: partly I said that because you know, Tory said no,

446
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: so I was trying to I think I think I've

447
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: agreed with her in the past couple so I'm just like,

448
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: let me. But my case for yes is that, especially

449
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: with Tory was saying earlier, he keeps saying he wants

450
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: to stay. He keeps saying he wants to be here.

451
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: His family lives right down the road, he has young

452
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: kids and a long time girlfriend. Moving is his fifteam

453
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: is sixty years. I'm sure moving is not, you know,

454
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: not the easiest thing to do. For all of them

455
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: starting over so many times, so maybe he is really

456
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: willing to, you know, retire here and right off into

457
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: the sunset, take a deal that's maybe not the most

458
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: he could get, but a team friendly one. So that's

459
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: my stance for Yes, Uh, I'm gonna drop the hammer

460
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: and make everyone upset, including maybe CP. CP if you're

461
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: listening to this, dude mad respect for for all all

462
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: all the things, and this is not a knock on CP.

463
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: I want CP to get paid. So I'm as a

464
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: preface my no by saying that I don't think that

465
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: Patterson will be a Falcon in twenty twenty two. And

466
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: I say that because it's just like the whole idea

467
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: of like follow the money, and I just don't know

468
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: if the money is gonna go to Patterson at this

469
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: point in time and this where this organization is. And

470
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: I say that thinking about Terry Fontineau and Arthur smithing

471
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: for players that they can build upon in the future,

472
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: because if you think about it, there are a lot

473
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: of old guard guys who are not who their contract

474
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: is not going to be around in twenty twenty four,

475
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: and so don't you want to start building something when

476
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: all of these people are gone, and to be completely honest,

477
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: because of his age, CPS not going to be here

478
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, So why would you not start

479
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: investing in the people who will be? And I think

480
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: that in and of itself is kind of where my

481
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: mind is when it comes to do I think, if

482
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: do I think CP will be a Falcon in twenty

483
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: twenty two, And I think no, just because of those reasons,

484
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: simply moneywise, what I love to see CP back in

485
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: the Falcon's uniform one. I think CP's been really great

486
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: for this Falcon's organization and for the fan base. But again,

487
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: for me, it's all about the money. Yeah, And I

488
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: think that even though it's all about the money, I

489
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: think if he is not signed by one, I think

490
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: he will be back. And here's why. I think the

491
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: open market for a thirty one year old running back

492
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: who's new to the position and has allowed to learn,

493
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: I think that I think that the market won't be

494
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: as robust as maybe he would like. And I think

495
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: the Falcons can offer him a deal that I think

496
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: allows him to stick around here, allows him to thrive here.

497
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I really like this two year deal concept. The

498
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: first year guarantee. The second one gives the Falcons some options,

499
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: and I think that that's how they could structure it

500
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: in a way that is a win win and maybe

501
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: in a type of scenario where you take what you

502
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: were going to pay Mike Davis and then you combine

503
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: it with what Patterson made last year and maybe you

504
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: can work something around that. So for that reason, I

505
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: think that he's I think he will be back. I

506
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: think the deal will be pretty reasonable, even if he

507
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: doubles his paycheck over the course you know, of twenty

508
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty two. Um, I feel like they I just feel

509
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: like eventually it will come together. I don't think it's

510
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: gonna be quick though. I think it's gonna be something

511
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: that there's so many moving, so many dominoes have to

512
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: fall before they get to that point. And but I

513
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: do think eventually they end up with a deal. So

514
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: for all of those people going to Tory mclaney's in

515
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: dating apps asking the question which was brought up originally,

516
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: are they gonna resign CP? Right like that was the

517
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: original question that you were getting, Well, you don't have

518
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: to go to the dating app anymore. We've answered it's

519
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: on the records, on the record. So if Anybould ever

Speaker 1: asks again, you just say timestamp twenty three fifty five, okay, right, No,

Speaker 1: the five star review. Yeah, that was that was it.

526
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: My gosh. Um. We genuinely kind of just meander towards

527
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: an ending. I think that's a good way to punctuate it, right,

528
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't do. I mean, it's a natural it's a

529
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: natural progression. You know. We as storytellers, we love a

530
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: full circle moment, and we have now come full circle
