1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Dirty Birds. What's up? And welcome to another edition of

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: Falcons Final Whistle presented by Zaxby's I'm your host Will

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: McFadden joined by Tarren Walk and we are going to

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: go through Aaron's fifty three man roster prediction. It is

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: the third and final edition that we will have before

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: the Falcons have to make the decisions themselves and they

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: have to cut down their roster to fifty three members

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: by Tuesday at four pm Eastern. Taren, you're the final

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: one to kind of go through this exercise. I had

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: never done it before. It was tricky for me. I

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: think it just wrapping my head around what some of

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: these decisions meant for this season and perhaps beyond. Just

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: what was this exercise like for you?

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: Dare I say we save the best for last? Just kidding.

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: I know people are gonna not like some of my decisions,

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: but bring them up. It just I was stressing out

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: and mine is just a prediction injection that I can't

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: imagine what it's like being in those actual conversations and

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: having to make those actual cuts with real humans where

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: I feel like mine's like playland, Like yeah, these are

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: real people, but I don't have a say, and this actually,

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: like Terry Fonto is not coming up to my desk

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: and be like, all right, Taren, who should we keep

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: between these two players?

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: Like if he did, you should see.

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: Me running away because I don't want to be responsible

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: for these people's livelihoods.

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: So with that said, like I feel bad for the

30
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: coaches in the upcoming days, and I feel bad for

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: the players who ultimately don't make the cut, but even

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: those who do, Like it's a tough time. You're losing

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: friends in the locker room, you're losing teammates on the

34
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 3: roster and people that have been here for like the

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: past month or so. So it is a tough time.

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: I think even Taylor Heineke said like it's one of

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: the worst days of the year in the NFL, And

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: I think that's true. Like dreams are made, but dreams

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: are also shattered.

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean candidly, Like even in our section of

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: the building and where we are located, the digital team

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: right now is different from where it was previously when

43
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I was here and we were a little bit even

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: closer to kind of where the front office people sat,

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: and players would literally kind of come past desk and

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: it was it was tough, Like it's really really hard.

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: And so even though you know, we don't interact with

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: players and staff all that much, we're kind of in

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: our own little area working on our own stuff. Like

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: these are people that you do see around and you

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: try to be very cognizant of like what they're going

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: through because you're right, like, it's a tough ti'm across

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: the league. But that's also you know, part of why

54
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: when Rahiem Morris kind of held out a lot of

55
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: the starters and key reserves, like it did give certain players,

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: you know, Bradley and I right, he had so much

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: action this preseason, and even though he was one of

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: the first thirteen players released, like, he got a great

59
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: audition for the thirty one other teams around the league,

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: and I think the Falcons really liked what they saw

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: from him as well. So if he ends up back

62
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, I wouldn't be shocked. But that

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: is kind of the flip side of that coin of

64
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: everybody focusing on the starters, need those reps really the

65
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: reserves like that could be their one shot. Yeah, And

66
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I do like about the fact

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: that the Falcons really did give three full preseason games

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: to guys much further down on the depth chart. So

69
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: did that make this year any harder for you? When

70
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at the fifty three man roster, And sure,

71
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: some positions like inside linebacker, we feel pretty good about

72
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: who those guys are. But others, specifically defensive line, maybe

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, cornerback, like some of these guys have popped.

74
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: Did that kind of tighten the race for you in anyway?

75
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: Oh? Well, when I started to like figure out who

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: I was going to keep and whatnot, the first thing

77
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: I did was go back to the list of players

78
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: who did not play against the Ravens, and I kind

79
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 3: of just like locked those thirty seven in. The only

80
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: one I didn't was safety Dane Kirkshank, if I'm pronouncing

81
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: that correctly, because he's been injured so we haven't seen

82
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: him since then, and I think he did sit that game,

83
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: beare because of the injury, not because he was a

84
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: starter or a high level backup. So he's the only

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: one out of that list at thirty seven who I

86
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: ultimately didn't end up putting on my fifty three I

87
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: think at least don't. So nobody go check my tweet

88
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: in the story and go side by side, and if.

89
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: You do do that, I encourage you to find a

90
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: different hobby because that's frankly insane.

91
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: I low key respect it so at me, but otherwise don't.

92
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: And so I started from there because if the mentality

93
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: was we've seen enough from these guys, then I'm guessing

94
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: they're on the team. And so from there I kind

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: of I had what's fifty three minus thirty seven, fifty.

96
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: Three minus thirty seven sixteen?

97
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I had sixteen spots love and then well

98
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: seventeen because of Dane. And from there it's just kind

99
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: of like filling in the blanks of like who I

100
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: don't think is going to get cut even if they

101
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 3: did play in all three games. For example, wide receiver

102
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: Casey Washington, I think he's making this roster.

103
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: I think they've been really happy with what they have.

104
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: Seen from him, and even though he was a sixth

105
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 3: rounder one of the three, I don't see them getting

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: rid of him because if they do, I don't think

107
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: he'll clear waivers and be available for the practice squad.

108
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: Because that's another thing to consider.

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: Just because they're cut doesn't mean they can go straight

110
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: onto the practice squad. They have to yep, get through

111
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: the shopping spree essentially.

112
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: Exactly, Yeah, I mean they do. They get put back

113
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: on the shelf, and any of the other teams around

114
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: the league are able to put in a waiver claim.

115
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Which is why it's always interesting when people not only

116
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: do a fifty three man roster prediction, but also then

117
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: are like projecting practice squad because it's likely that we

118
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: have no idea who the pro personnel members of the

119
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: front office are even looking at. Across the right. There

120
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: could be four new players on this practice squad. There

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 1: could be zero new players. There could be fifteen new players.

122
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Like I have no idea, but that's kind of what's

123
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: so exciting at this point in time. The rookies are

124
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: a good point because like there's almost two different categories,

125
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: as you just pointed out, like the guys who did

126
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: play in all of these games. J. D. Bertrand is

127
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: another probably great example. Jase McLellan another good example. Exactly,

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: it's like, we're very confident that those guys are gonna

129
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: be on the roster, and yet they did play. So

130
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: that's where the nuance comes in. It's like, sure, you

131
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: know what you're looking at but it may come with

132
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: a grain of salt, or there may be an exception

133
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: to the otherwise pretty standard rule. So let's go ahead

134
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: and dive into it. We're gonna start with the quarterback position.

135
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Tory and I had three quarterbacks sticking around. You've also

136
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: got three quarterbacks sticking around, the same three that we

137
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: all know and love. Kirk Cousins, Michael Pennix Junior, Taylor Heineke.

138
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Taylor Heinekey because I know right

139
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: now he is a very popular name to discuss on

140
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: the bubble for the Falcons.

141
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: I went back and forth with Taylor Heineke for a while,

142
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: like the elite retype delite retype, because the more I

143
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: went back and forth, I don't think he's going to

144
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: be someone who would be around to sign to the

145
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: practice squad.

146
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: We saw that Taylor Heinekee.

147
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: Could be a good option in a backup role last year,

148
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: and I think maybe other team will value that more

149
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: than the Falcons are because they already have Michael Pennock junior.

150
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 3: But I don't think they're willing to take that risk.

151
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: I personally wasn't with my fifty three man roster, so

152
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: that's why he ultimately made the cut.

153
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: You're right, like, there's a lot of teams. I was

154
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: almost surprised at the number of NFL teams that kind

155
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: of like base jumped into training camp, which is like

156
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback parachute they hope deploys. You know, you look

157
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: at like Las Vegas, right with Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.

158
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: There's not the most proven option there. I know Gardner

159
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Minshew has been in the league for a long time,

160
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: but like he and Taylor Heineke at one point, probably

161
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: in kind of the same conversation, this journeyman backup who

162
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: you believe maybe has the potential for more. So you're right, like,

163
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: if Taylor Heiniekee becomes available, I think someone would swoove in.

164
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: I just assumed that there's maybe three teams out there

165
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: that would be kind of like, sure, we'll take Taylor Heineke.

166
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: We'll look at that. So that becomes a very kind

167
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: of nuanced conversation once again, So let's see how the

168
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: rest of this all shakes out. Because against Domino, this

169
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: is where it all you'd maybe put a pin in

170
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: in that quarterback. If you're the front office and you're

171
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: like let's see what every how else we want this

172
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: all to look. So running back, everybody is kept the

173
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: same for this whole time. It's John Robinson, Tyler al Jeer,

174
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Jase McClellan, Avery Williams. Any difficulty in these four? Did

175
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: you really want Carlos Washington or was it kind of

176
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: clear cut?

177
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: I think it was clear cut.

178
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: I really like Carlos Washington as like a person, But

179
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: I just don't see the Falcons choosing him over Jase McClellan,

180
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: because again, there's more stock in Jas, there's more potential potentially, Yeah,

181
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 3: we don't know yet.

182
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: It's still you're.

183
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Starting running back at Alabama for a season.

184
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I know I should say it was a

185
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: lot of potential in the Alabama product yours truly, but yeah,

186
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 3: I like and I also didn't. We thought Carlos was

187
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: going to pop off more in the preseason. I know,

188
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: you were rooting for two thousand yards a ridiculous.

189
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: I was just like, he's going to lead the NFL

190
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: in rushing yards.

191
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: There was going to be more. There was the attempts,

192
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: there wasn't the distance.

193
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: You know what was interesting is when I was looking up,

194
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, the numbers for this piece. Editing it, I

195
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: noticed Spencer Brown actually had like fifteen cars and like

196
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: actually seventy seven yard Like he actually was second on

197
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: the team in rushing yards and had the highest average

198
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: yards per carry. I think Spencer Brown joined the team

199
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: a little too late to really get any series consideration here,

200
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: but that was Yeah, it was just kind of disappointing,

201
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: but not because of Carlos Washington in particular, because again,

202
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it depends on the offensive line, a

203
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: lot of it, but they played some pretty good defensive

204
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: lines I think in the preseason when you go against

205
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Miami Baltimore and then Jacksonville, like those are pretty and

206
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: then the Jacksonville game was against the starting defense, right,

207
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it was tough slotting out there, I

208
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: think for the run game.

209
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: And this is one of those situations where I think

210
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: back to the difficult conversations Harry and Raheem have to have,

211
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: because you and I had Carlos right in here, and

212
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: it was a great conversation, and so now leaving him off,

213
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I.

214
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Had the same exact feeling. So let's let's not linger

215
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: on it on the pain, Let's get to wide receiver

216
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: this is one that is kind of bounced up and down.

217
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, Torri and Shehally had five. She

218
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: left Chris Blair off. However, that's really caveat right. It

219
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: was right after rond eiel Moore's injury. She was kind

220
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: of having I think, if this is fair to say

221
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: a placeholder sixth. She just didn't know who exactly that

222
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: was going to be. I had the benefit of riding

223
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: mine after the Baltimore game, and at that point we

224
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: had Chris Blair, who was third in the NFL in

225
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: receiving yards in the preseason, So it was a very

226
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: easy decision for me to add him as that sixth player.

227
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: You do not have Chris Blair, he fourth, Yeah.

228
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: He's tied for four yards.

229
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: But and this was another one I went back and

230
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: forth because the reason I ultimately did not include Chris

231
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 3: Chris Blair is because I needed the spot which went

232
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: to the defense.

233
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: And we can come to that later. Unless you want

234
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: me to tell him now who I pick over, we

235
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: can save it. Okay, good? Oh, I wasn't ready.

236
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 3: But it's just they have so many options, and you know,

237
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: Drake and Darnell are the ones, and then you have

238
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: Rey Ray in there too, and then you have a

239
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: solid backup in Casey, who's shown a lot. I think

240
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: he has a lot of growing to do, but the

241
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: potential is there, Like it's just kind of like crisping

242
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: things up.

243
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: He's another Carlos Washington to me though, where it's like

244
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: the attempts were there, the yardage maybe wasn't like it

245
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: wasn't uncommon to see Casey Washington like six targets two catches.

246
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: Right. Again, he's a rookie. He's got to clean that up.

247
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 4: I think that's what you're pointing at for sure. And

248
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: I just don't think he would go through the waivers.

249
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

250
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fair.

251
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 3: It's just out of all the draft picks, I only

252
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: cut one, and that was Zion Log because what he do, Like,

253
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: I just never heard his name this preseason.

254
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: And I think he's an excellent practice squad candidate. Yeah yep,

255
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: like you still got drafted. Kudos to you.

256
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 2: I think he will end up.

257
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Your tough rotation to crack right exactly.

258
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: That one was way too deep at which we will

259
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: get into there too. So I just picked Casey ultimately

260
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: over Chris, even though Chris had better numbers. I think

261
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: it has to do with what they see in each

262
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: and what could possibly be Okay, bind into the potential

263
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: a little more with Casey Washington than I am Chris Blair.

264
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: That's a good way to put it. And I think again,

265
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: what kind of Forrey and I talked a little bit

266
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: about was the clone notion, right the RHEM likes to

267
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: talk about. And I made the point that Chris Blair

268
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: could be a little bit of a clone of Caderol

269
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: Hodge and you or actually Amna who wrote a great

270
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: piece about Chris Blair over the weekends to go check

271
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: that out. But she mentioned how Chris was, you know,

272
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of using special teams as a little bit of

273
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: a pathway to try to make the roster and focusing

274
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: on that aspect in camp, and that would be like

275
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: perfect if he can get under Cadol Hodge's wing and

276
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: just learn how to be this like savvy that A

277
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: and fifth receiver, fourth receiver, but then like kick butt

278
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: at special teams.

279
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

280
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: But I look at Casey Washington as well, and what

281
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: was kind of one of the main things that they

282
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: said about him when they drafted him is we view

283
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: him as versatile within this offense. He can do kind

284
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: of all three roles, so that in and of itself,

285
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: it's like three clones, you know, So I get what

286
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: you're saying.

287
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of recency buys too, because he was a

288
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: draft pick.

289
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: You know. I don't know, maybe I'm putting too much

290
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: into draft stock, but you picked him for a reason

291
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: and it just happened.

292
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's safe to fault to have, right, if you're

293
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: gonna fall back on any rule, Like, that's not a

294
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: bad one to get to fall back to, especially a

295
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: first year guy right around.

296
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: I always forget Caderrel Hodge and I feel bad.

297
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: Like when we were talking about wide receivers coming back

298
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: to this team, I just could be like, it's only

299
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: Drake London and everyone be like Caderrel Hodge too, and I'm.

300
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, but that's he's like one of those

301
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: players where and usually we talked about offensive lineman. This way,

302
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: it's almost like it's not a bad thing that nobody's

303
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: talking about him because I guarantee you out there on

304
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: the field, like his teammates him, the coaching staff loves him.

305
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: The reason he's he's making a lot of plays out

306
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: in practice. It's just kind of ho hum, you know,

307
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: like it's not as exciting as even in Casey Washington.

308
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: I get it. That's the stuff we're we're drawn to

309
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: in camp. And caderrel Hodges just meanwhile, just solid, just

310
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: crushing it every single day. He made my roster mine

311
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: as well. So we've got the tight end position. Next,

312
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: you have three. I had three, Tory had four, but

313
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: again she had she went first. I think things have

314
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: trended a different way. So talk to me about John

315
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and ultimately leaving him off.

316
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: I went back and forth.

317
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: It's just it's kind of like exposure theory a bit

318
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: too rather than thinking of the negatives. For me, it's

319
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: like I just saw more from Ross Dwelly than I

320
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: did John Fitzpatrick.

321
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: I think it was between the two.

322
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: I didn't have this base to keep a fourth and

323
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 3: because I mean, cutting Chris Blair was really tough. Yeah,

324
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: trying to cut someone else to get John Fitzpatrick in

325
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: there wasn't going to happen. So I think I think

326
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: it was just the signings of Charlie Warner and Ross Dwelly.

327
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: They have showed up and shown out more in my mind,

328
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: and I think we always talk about them being the

329
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: blockers and whatnot. But both Charlie and Ross have been

330
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: utilized in the passing game too, like ye in good ways.

331
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: Like I've seen Ross with a near one handed diving catch.

332
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: I think it ultimately was out of bounds, but it

333
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: was still athletically impressive and shows what he can do.

334
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: And so it's it wasn't me leaving John Fitzpatrick off

335
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: because he didn't do well. It was me picking the

336
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: three I thought were strongest.

337
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: And I agree with that approach. That's half full for once. Yeah,

338
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: I look at you that day. Oh my god, I'm

339
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: so proud. I used to think. And this maybe even

340
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: goes back to kind of the previous offense that was

341
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: in here, right, this almost no name offense. And I

342
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: don't mean that as a slight to like Drake Lennon,

343
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, but John Robinson, Tyler, al Chair, everybody who

344
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: was he knew their names on the offense last year.

345
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: But just kind of this, if everybody's getting three catches

346
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: in a game and you have seven players catching three passes,

347
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: that it's like so difficult for a defense to actually

348
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: know who is your number one or number four. So

349
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: you're like spreading it around, right, And that is kind

350
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: of where I would be, like, you know, Luke Stocker,

351
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: to pull out a name from the past, right, bring

352
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: him in. What can he do? Oh man? He could

353
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: be like this guy in this offense. And now I've

354
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: kind of shifted that thinking and going back to the

355
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: way like Kyle Shanahan used Levine toy Lolo or Josh Palmer,

356
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: who were tight ends in that twenty sixteen offense. They

357
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: only had four catches five catches all year, two of

358
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: them were for touchdowns, right, And so it's kind of

359
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: picking your spots for when to use these guys. It's

360
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: not that Charlie Warner can't catch pass, right, It's that

361
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: he's also a dang good blocker. That's why I nominated

362
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: him for Camp Champ after Wednesday scrimmage is he was

363
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: just getting after people. So when you have a guy

364
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: who was at someone in one area and capable in another,

365
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: it's not really like we're going to use the capable

366
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: quality so many times that you have to respect it

367
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: the way you respect the excellent quality. It's just picking

368
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 1: the right spot to utilize that skill to maximum effect.

369
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: And that's what I think you're going to see out

370
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: of the kind of backup tight ends. Yeah, almost like

371
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: a surprise exactly. I like it more that way. Yeah,

372
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: like you kind of okay, block block block oop, now

373
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: sneak out the back door surprise. Today's episode of Falcons

374
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: Final Whistle is brought to you by Zaxby's. And after

375
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: a long game, when I'm tired and I need to refuel,

376
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: I turned to Zaxbis their marinated handbreaded fried to perfection

377
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: chicken fingers. They hit the spot every time. Get yours

378
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: with seasoned crinkle fries, a nice drink in whichever of

379
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: their twelve signature sauces you're feeling at the moment. But

380
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: it always hits just right. So next time you need

381
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 1: to refuel, go get yourself some Zaxbies. All right, offensive line,

382
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: you had I believe eight as well. We've all had

383
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: the same eight, so read it off. Jake Matthews, Matthew

384
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: burrs Around, Drew Dalmond, Chris Linstrom, Kayla McGarry, Storm Norton,

385
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Hinton, and Ryan noosel Any anything there that you

386
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: really want to touch on.

387
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: I mean, just having all the starter's bag is great. Yeah,

388
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: there was no like battle for those five spots. It's

389
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: just like, all right, this was easy. And then picking

390
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 3: a few strong backups that you kind of notice peak

391
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: a bit more in the preseason.

392
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: And backups have been here as well, exactly, and.

393
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: This is a maybe not age wise, but this is

394
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: an older group together.

395
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: An experience experience. That's sword They've They've got a lot

396
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: of chemists experienced. It's it's something that even the backups

397
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: in these games. And I'm speaking more, I think about

398
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: the internal three or interior three with Hinton Newsle and

399
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: then Jevon Gwynn, who I hope is back on this

400
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: practice squad because I loved watching him play, but it's

401
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: they were really doing some things that were kind of nuanced,

402
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: like passing off stunts and twists and late blitzers, and

403
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: I was really impressed, and I was like that that

404
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: is an experienced offensive line. When even your twos are

405
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: doing kind of some tricky stuff, it just is indicative

406
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: of a group that's been together now for a little bit.

407
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: So yep, I think we can move on to the

408
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: defensive line. We're all crazy and it's just so tough

409
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: to cut anybody. And so when Tory started out with

410
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: eight guys on our list, and I was like eight guys.

411
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: I think they're going to keep like six guys because

412
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: they're going to have the outside linebackers too, and then

413
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: they're going to have no I got to it. I

414
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: couldn't do any more or any less than eight. You've

415
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: got eight.

416
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: So it was six or eight.

417
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 3: Because if I had to cut anybody, not that I

418
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: want to, it would have been between Eddie Goldman and

419
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: Contavious Street just because the other ones are so strong. Again,

420
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 3: it's a hard picking, and so when I looked at

421
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: those two, I'm like, I can't pick because they both

422
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: had really strong preseason. I remember the scrimmage is perfect

423
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: example of this. It was Eddie Goldman had a really

424
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 3: strong first half and then Kintavie Street had a really

425
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: strong second. Yeah, like they were just in the backfield.

426
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: And so then I was like, no, you can't do it.

427
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: I can't do it, So I'm not going to So

428
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 3: there's eight.

429
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: Eddie Goldman is actually like we were talking about Zion Logan,

430
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: and I feel like if Eddie Goldman wasn't a player

431
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: coming off of a couple of seasons kind of away

432
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: from the field, no brainer, then he probably wouldn't have

433
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: been out there as often as he was during the

434
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: preseason and in practice. So maybe you got a rookie

435
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: like Zion more snaps in some of those areas, but

436
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: because Eddie kind of needs those snaps, I think to

437
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: get the feel for the game back a little bit.

438
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: You see how that has a ripple effect maybe further

439
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: down the depth chart and kind of the same thing,

440
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: but in reverse. With Kntavious Street, he was somebody who

441
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: I noticed very early, like day one of camp, as

442
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: the placeholder for Grady Jarrett. Like when you looked at

443
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: who were the starters in there with kind of the

444
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: first team into your your defensive line, it was sometimes

445
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: like David Onyamada, Zach Harrison, and Kntavius Street. Sometimes it

446
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: was like Takwon Graham, Zach Harrison, Kntavius Street, But like

447
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: KNTAVIIU Street was always just kind of like right there

448
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: in the middle, and I had to assume that's gonna

449
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: be Grady Jarrett when he is back in his acclamation

450
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: and more like up to full speed again. I'm talking

451
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: early camp.

452
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 3: I think is also signed shortly after Grady's injury.

453
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that and they're similar types of players going

454
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: back and rewatching kind of the Miami preseason game, Like

455
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: you can see the quickness that Kntavious Street plays with

456
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: at times. So yeah, again we're talking about kind of

457
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: like clones. Contavious Streets a valuable back up there. Eddie

458
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Goldman's a little bit of a one on one on

459
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: this roster. Like if let's say, if they were going

460
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: to go to six, you think it's clear that it

461
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: was would be Goldman and Street.

462
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think Street might be picked up by

463
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: someone else if he is, really that's good. I don't

464
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 3: know that Goldman is because Atlanta has put all of

465
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: their eggs in his basket. Yeah, like they have wanted

466
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: that man exactly, and so I think he would end

467
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: up here on the practice squad or something and then

468
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: elevated as many times as you can be.

469
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but I think eight again for this this

470
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: defense feels right. And part of that is because when

471
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: you look at what the pass rush where it's going

472
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: to come from, I think the defensive linemen are going

473
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: to be just as much part of that as the

474
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: outside linebackers. So looking at the outside linebackers, you have

475
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: five and this is where I think you know, or

476
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: Chris Blair and Ryan John Fitzpatrick. Don't know why I

477
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: want to say Ryan Fitzpatrick. Them not being on this

478
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: roster allows for another camp stand out to make the cut.

479
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: So you've got Matt Jewton, Lorenzo Carter, Arnold, mccatie, James Smith, Williams,

480
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: who I had as well. But you've got one extra.

481
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: You've got D'Angelo and Moore.

482
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: Yes, because we all know I'm a special team supporter.

483
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: If I sort of put the Angela Malone under specialists,

484
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: I probably actually should have. I should have just thrown

485
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 3: him down there. But I will hang my hat on

486
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: this dynamic kickoff because it's so vanilla right now. But

487
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna turn into fun fetti in the season.

488
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was maybe your best one yet. Hey, I

489
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: love that.

490
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 2: I didn't know where to go with it.

491
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: Now I'm like over excited about it. But the Angela

492
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: Malone was so good on special teams in the preseason.

493
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: He had not only a team high what was it,

494
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: I think six?

495
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: Right? Six?

496
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: Not only a team high, that's an NFL best six tackles. Wow,

497
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: when you looked at the whole league, he had the

498
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: most special team stops. Yeah, and I just I think

499
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: it was Baltimore where we were like Malone again Malone

500
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: with the stop. It was either there Miami.

501
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean Miami was the first. It was definitely Miami

502
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: was kind of like the breakout where he was just

503
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: doing it like in on punt, on kickoff, on like

504
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: all of them. And then he doubled down in Baltimore

505
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: and it was like there's Dangel alone. Yeah, oh my god,

506
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: there he is again, like yeah, yeah.

507
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 3: And then another thing is we talked to him after

508
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: practice one day and the full time switch to outside linebacker.

509
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: I think he's so much more comfortable with it, and

510
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: he did kind of grow and develop that this could

511
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: be the season of growth, Like he's getting his in

512
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: with special teams, but I wouldn't be surprised if he

513
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: starts to earn some opportunities with the defense too well.

514
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: And even when he was coming out of college, liked

515
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: Angelo Loan was in a little bit of this hybrid

516
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: three four outside linebacker edge guy, and the things that

517
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: he did well were like rush the passer or drop

518
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: into coverage, and now I think you're seeing him able

519
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: to do more of that in this outside linebacker three

520
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: four look as opposed to what was kind of the

521
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Nielsen four to three hand in the dirt we're

522
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: going to go, and he wasn't really suited for that

523
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: type of work.

524
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: I think you're trying to fit a square in a

525
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: circle and now the circle just gets to be the circle.

526
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he gets to ball out on special teams,

527
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: which if you're saying he led the NFL in special

528
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: teams tackles, like the k about the preseason is like

529
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: you got to earn your roster spot on special teams, Well,

530
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: there you go. I think he made a pretty good

531
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: case and he made your roster. So inside linebacker, the

532
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: same four that has always been Kate Alstroy Anderson, Nate Lamon,

533
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: j D Bertrand let's use this space really quickly though,

534
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: just to touch on kind of the injury updates that

535
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: Raheem provided on Friday night.

536
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: Which one was the quad, in which one is the groin.

537
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: So I believe groin is Elis and quad is Nate Laman.

538
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 3: Regardless, they're both nursing some injuries right now. I know

539
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: Nate did not put his jersey on at all for

540
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: the final preseason game, whereas Cayden did suit up for

541
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: warm ups. I mean all the starters suited up for

542
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: warm ups, but then they changed out.

543
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: It was like a tease. It was such a tease.

544
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, are they going to do it?

545
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: And then they did not?

546
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 3: But that only interesting to see, Like how raheem Moore

547
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 3: said their day to day, So it'd be interesting to

548
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 3: see how long that day to day continues. Does it

549
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: continue into Week one preparation, does it continue into the

550
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: Week one game? Like is JD gonna get us to

551
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 3: start in week one as a rookie? So he stepped

552
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 3: up to the plate in the scrimmage like him and

553
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: Troy Anderson held their own together.

554
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

555
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: It wouldn't It would stink to start off the season

556
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: with injuries in that group because we've talked about all

557
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: precent how strong that group is.

558
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: But you would want you'd want Kayden Ellis or Nate Lambon.

559
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: I would think to be in there against Pittsburgh again

560
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: knowing their experience with Arthur Smith's off Like if j

561
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: D Bertrand is in there, who wasn't around last year

562
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: and is a rookie against an offense that we expect

563
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: to have a lot of moving pieces. Just from what

564
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: we saw here, that would be a tougher spot. I'd

565
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: feel much better about Kaden Ellis being back, or Nate

566
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: Lamon or both honestly, but all four out there, but

567
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: all four out there at the same time, it would

568
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: be amazing. All right, back of the linebackers, cornerback, we've

569
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: got six players the same six the entire way. So

570
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: that's crazy. As much as we were talking about that

571
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: being a spot for camp battles and like who is

572
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: the depth, what's going to emerge, it's pretty consistent. We've

573
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: got a j trel Mike cues D offered Clark Phillips,

574
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: Kevin King, and Antonio Hamilton. Any any thoughts there that

575
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: were kind of unexpected for you, I.

576
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: Wouldn't say unexpected. If I needed a space on the defense,

577
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: Antonio Hamilton would have been the.

578
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: One interesting, but.

579
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: He was on that He was on that list for

580
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: Baltimore that didn't play, so he was like an automatic

581
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: slide into. But another way to wiggle around would have

582
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: been making Kevin King a safety. But I the numbers,

583
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: a number like changing his position doesn't change the body count,

584
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: so that didn't end up happening. But yeah, I think,

585
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: obviously AJ is going to be here for a minute,

586
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: he just signed his extension. Then you have Mike Hughes

587
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 3: and Clark Phillips who were essentially competing for that role

588
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 3: all throughout the preseason, with Mike essentially getting the nod

589
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 3: with the depth chart putting him as the one, and

590
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: then Clark has a great option right behind him. He's

591
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: his a little special nickel, like he's got his own

592
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 3: little spot.

593
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

594
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 3: Kevin, I just think his versatility will be a huge

595
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: asset for either cornerback or safety.

596
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: So I could have put him in either group.

597
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't even be shocked if you see when

598
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: they release the fifty three men roster, if they just

599
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: have this as defensive backs and they have just ten

600
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: guys listed as defensive backs, right because Kevin King in

601
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 1: the scrimmage on Wednesday was playing in dime package and

602
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: also kind of a safety box safety hybrid role, and

603
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: then in the final preseason game played safety for a

604
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: long time out there, So I definitely feel like they

605
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: are exploring that potential in case they do put DeMarco

606
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: Helms on injured reserve once fifth, and then that does

607
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: the math. You can maybe keep nine defensive backs, but

608
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: still have kind of six corners and four safeties. These

609
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: one player fills both spots for you, that would be

610
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: maybe the upside here. So let's quickly get safety Jesse Bates,

611
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons, Richie Grant, DeMarco Hellams. I. You know, where

612
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: do you think they would go if let's say they

613
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: put DeMarco Elms on injured reserve? You think they try

614
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: to backfill that safety spot or do you think, yeah,

615
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: is that the opportunity to get somebody else on here?

616
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: I think that I think Micah Abernathy would fill that void.

617
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: I think I noted that in my story too, because

618
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: he was spoken very highly of as soon as DeMarco

619
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: was hurt, where it's like, this is the opportunity for

620
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 3: him to step up and show us that he can

621
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: do it. And I know they really liked him even

622
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: last year in that role. So I think if they

623
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: do put DeMarco on IR, then Micah has his way

624
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: back in.

625
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's quickly close out with special teams and like quickly,

626
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't even really have to talk about them.

627
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: It's young Waku, Bradley Pinion and Liam McCullough it's done

628
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: that way, since it will be that way on Tuesday.

629
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm very confident about that. So let's wrap up with this.

630
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: Uh oh, if there's one player who you don't have

631
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: on your fifty three men roster, but you wouldn't be

632
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: shocked to see on Tuesday at four o'clocks Blair, it

633
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: would be Chris Blair.

634
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one's going to eat at me. People on

635
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 3: Twitter are already like you should have kept Chris Blayir.

636
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know, if all right, So if you

637
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: were going to put Chris Blair on here, who would

638
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: you take off? Oh no, and you don't have I

639
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: mean again you stuck by your fifty three again kind

640
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: of like that final toss up? Was it? Dangela below was?

641
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: But like the more I think about dangel, the more

642
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: I'm confident in that decision.

643
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: M hm. I mean, if anything, this is I think

644
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton is. I think it's more given what the

645
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: injury situation at safety is, Like, I think it's more

646
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: important to keep somebody like that in the secondary. I

647
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: wonder if it wouldn't be like a Kentavious Street or

648
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: a Taylor Heineke or somebody you know, like.

649
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: That, but again bottom like five.

650
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 4: This.

651
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this fifty three though, feels strong. It feels kind

652
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: of like what it could be, Like I think that

653
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: there's a very realistic chance this is the fifty three,

654
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: And honestly it's indicative of a strong camp, like the

655
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: fact that they were able to kind of set aside

656
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: a lot of this roster for the final couple of

657
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: preseason games and we saw young players emerge and actually

658
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: really make strong cases. We're not trying to pull guys

659
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: onto this fifty three man roster, We're trying to keep

660
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: some people off of it and double long like that's

661
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: a much better place to be in. So any last

662
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: thoughts about this exercise and kind of the next twenty

663
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: four hours before I let you go.

664
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: So I remember a practice one day.

665
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: I can't remember who I was talking to, but we

666
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: were like, what if the NFL required X amount per position?

667
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: Like oh okay, like mandatory minimums or maximums.

668
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 3: Both, Like you had to have five running backs? No

669
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 3: questions asked, Oh my god, you know what I mean.

670
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: I don't even want to think about that. That would break

671
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: my brain. Five running backs like high school prompts you

672
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: would get.

673
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: Or like three guys standing around most of the game. Okay,

674
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: that was a bad.

675
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: One to put it.

676
00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: But like required only sixty linemen required for safeties, required

677
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: four cornerbacks, like really specific, like that you don't have fun, that.

678
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Would be see. I almost go in the opposite direction

679
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: because I am for experimentation. I want people to throw

680
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: stuff at the wall, Like I want people to get crazy,

681
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: and that would hind people in right, but I want

682
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: somebody to be like, we're going to keep one safety

683
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have fifteen cornerbacks on the roster, you know,

684
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: like yeah, let's let's just get crazy with it. Let's

685
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and wrap up this podcast. This was a

686
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,680
