00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, and welcome to Falcons Audible presented by AT

Speaker 1: and T. I'm Dave Archer.

Speaker 2: I got some dogs, be I.

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Got the Georgia Bulldog DJ Shockley, and I got Will

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: McFadden with me, and Will is dialed in Atlanta. Falcons

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: dot Com Senior editor writer Ficcionado Mamando's everything.

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 3: So we got Will with today.

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys joining me today with this thing.

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 3: What a week.

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so if I hyperbole can kind of spew from anywhere,

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: but early soon. We're five games in and I've been

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: doing these games a long time, as you guys know,

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: I think these are the two most impactful wins early

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: season wins that I've seen this club have in a

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: long time. Well, you been talking to fans and all

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: sorts stuff. Is that over the top?

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: No, I don't think that's sort of the top at all.

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 4: I think a when you start off with the fact

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 4: that these are two division wins, and we knew how

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: early in the season they were gonna have to be

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 4: firing on all cylinders. But then when you see the

22
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: way that they're getting these wins, kind of the full

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: team aspect of it, complimentary football, especially late in games.

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: I know they're still looking for kind of the four

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: quarters complimentary part, but like who isn't at this time

26
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 4: of the year, right, So to get plays from the

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: defense to set up the offense, the offense going down

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 4: the field to set up special teams. I do think

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: that that's going to mean something, and it's great to

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 4: see early on in the year. So no, I don't

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: think that's a hyperbole at all.

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: Ours.

33
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 5: When I think about what you just mentioned, the first

34
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 5: thing that comes to mind for me, and it's a

35
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 5: term that we use all the time. We're playing sweat equity.

36
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 5: And when you win games like this, you build the

37
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 5: sweat equity to go forward in the season. And you

38
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 5: think about man, usually teams don't get here to like

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 5: week eight, week nine, when you know it gets everybody

40
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 5: really finds out who they are and this team is

41
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 5: finally coming together and you got a big win on

42
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: the road somewhere. But the fact you've done it so

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 5: early in the season, with how these games have gone,

44
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: like we'll just talked about, it builds sweat equity within

45
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 5: your team. And then I know coach Rod talks about

46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 5: it all the time is the results. So you put

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 5: the sweat equity in you go into a ball game

48
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 5: and things happen and then you see the results come

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 5: out in your favor. Oh, that's major confidence for your team.

50
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 5: Like we all know, we've seen coaches talk the biggest talking.

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 5: Everything sounds good in preseason, everything sounds good in that

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 5: first game, but until it actually happens, that's when guys

53
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 5: really started to believe.

54
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you believe in your coach. You understand what

55
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: he's saying.

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 5: But until you actually go out and you know it

57
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 5: comes down to that last you know, series of the game,

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: and then you know both sides, all guys, you know,

59
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 5: lean on each other and you see come out. You

60
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 5: build that sweat equity within your program, within your organization,

61
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 5: and you have these big time wins. It just it

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 5: propels you. I think going forward that hey, this happened

63
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: so early in the year and happened in meaningful games,

64
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: and then it's happened within your division, because I think

65
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 5: we all talked about it before the season started. Man,

66
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: it started the season gonna be galling, and you gotta

67
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 5: go three games into the division that's gonna be a gauntlet.

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 5: And look where we're staying right now because of the

69
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 5: way it's finished out, you feel really good about where

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 5: you staying.

71
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Well, unless you've been under a rock. Atlanta one on

72
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: Sunday in dramatic fashion as young Way Coop kicked one

73
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: from fifty eight yards to beat the Saints, and then

74
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: four days later beat another division rival in Tampa Bay,

75
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: a team I thought was red hot, coming in with

76
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield thirty six thirty in overtime in dramatic fashion,

77
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: coming from behind in regulation, and then getting the win

78
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: in Overton with a walk off with Cadarroll Hodge. So Shock,

79
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: give me something that stuck out in this game to

80
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: you that you know in one thing, because I got

81
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: a limit Shock Shock.

82
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: Will talk about sixth He'll take it on.

83
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: One thing that's stuck out to you in this game

84
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: that maybe is a carryover thing. It's something that you

85
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: feel we can hang our hat on. Tell me about it.

86
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 5: I think the one thing that comes around with you

87
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 5: when you say that is another cliche term, which is

88
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: the next man up. Mentally, you think about JD. Bertrand

89
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 5: and stepping in and playing a big role. Obviously they

90
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: didn't him on the field every single play, but there

91
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: were times I remember what the goal line where he stood.

92
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: I don't know who it was. He stood somebody up

93
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 5: and they an't getting the end zone. J D birchrant

94
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: rucal Roll, who we saw for the first time get

95
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 5: a chance to play and actually was you know, throwing

96
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 5: dudes around. How about the man who scores the winning touchdown?

97
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: How big time did he have to come in for

98
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: Drake who you know was in and out of the

99
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 5: lineup because of injuries, and he's in and he seized

100
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 5: that opportunity.

101
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: This is the literal term of next man up.

102
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 5: And we say the term you hit the term all

103
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 5: the time and it sounds so cliche, but you can

104
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 5: actually see it happen on the field any big time

105
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: ball game. And if I had so many guys who

106
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 5: when their opportunity, when their name, their number was called,

107
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 5: they stepped up and they played their part. And you know,

108
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 5: I think we've talked about a few times where Rob

109
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 5: talks about, hey, are we gonna what people say, should

110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 5: they bring in somebody else? And Ro's always said, I'm

111
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 5: so good with the guys we got on Foster, and

112
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: I think it speaks volumes that he said that, and

113
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 5: then we saw those guys step in those moments and

114
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 5: feel those voice for guys who may have been out

115
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: for a couple of players out for a game and

116
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 5: they stepped up and were big.

117
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: Well, would you see on Thursday night that has some

118
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: staying power?

119
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

120
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 4: I mean even to follow that up though, there was

121
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: two play sequence. J D bertrand Clark Phillips down there

122
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: at the goal line, made two great plays back to back,

123
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: and it was like, all right, that's what we're talking

124
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: about with guys stepping up and making big plays in

125
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: big moments. But I look at the passing game, you know,

126
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: I know that that was something a lot of fans

127
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: were kind of waiting to see operate at that level.

128
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: But when you got Drake.

129
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: London and Darnell Mooney both over one hundred yards making

130
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: huge plays like that catch Darnell Mooney made down in

131
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: the end zone against what looked like triple coverage, it

132
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: was probably like real double coverage arts.

133
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: Would you ever make that throw?

134
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: I said it on the broadcast. There's nothing on the play. Yeah,

135
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: it takes you there with the ree right, it took

136
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: you there.

137
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: I probably shouldn't have thrown that.

138
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: Oh my goodn I'm watching against It's just funny you

139
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 5: bring it up. I'm watching the game too, want to

140
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 5: hear Archie's thought on it, but I'm watching the game

141
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 5: and he throws that foot boss. Oh no, yep, that

142
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: was my first thoughts. Oh no, with three four guys

143
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: around him, and.

144
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: There's absolutely nothing on the read.

145
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: That is so flabber down.

146
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 3: There's literally bopoposed to be the clear out route.

147
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Kirk, but that's it's just the level of

148
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: trust I feel like. And Tory mclaney pointed it out

149
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 4: way back at the start of the season on Falcons

150
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 4: Final Whistle. She said she felt Darnell Mooney would be

151
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: the team's leading receiver when all a said and done.

152
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 4: And I think when you look at the offenses that

153
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins has been a part of and the level

154
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: of receiver play he has sustained at the quarterback position,

155
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: there's no doubt in my mind that he can get

156
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: you know, Drake London involved, Darnol Mooney, Kyle Pitts, Raver

157
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: and McCloud. So I think that this passing offense took

158
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: a big step forward and I only expect to continue

159
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 4: or to see it continue get refined. But that is

160
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: I think will be a huge part of the remainder

161
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: of the season.

162
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: What do we need to do. We'll go back to

163
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I think was the last time Atlanta had

164
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: Week one and it had We had three that day

165
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: Russell Gage was the third day he got over one

166
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: hundred that day we had that was the first. That

167
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: was the last time we had two over one hundred

168
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: yards in a game. You go to go back to

169
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one when someone threw for over five hundred

170
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: yards in a game.

171
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: That was Joe Burrow.

172
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: And then you got to go back to twenty twenty

173
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: one forty plus completions. Kirk Cousins with forty two completions.

174
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Pretty interesting. What were your guys thoughts on on him

175
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: breaking the all time passing record?

176
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: Will we can't go past not getting yours? Good? Oh?

177
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: I mean people need to hear from Marge.

178
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: What show you guys went went? I love we got

179
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: three different answers here because you went next man up,

180
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: you went offense, which is a great choice, and all

181
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: the things that are going on with the offenses it

182
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: he continues to grow and get better. I'm gonna go

183
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: ahead and flip to the defensive side. And give them

184
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: a little love. Think about late in the football game. Third,

185
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: Late in the third quarter, you get a sequence of

186
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: plays where the score is twenty four to twenty. Tampa's

187
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: driven to inside the Atlanta fifteen yard line. I got

188
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: think first and ten at the like the eleven yard line,

189
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Grady Jarrett bursts through and gets a tackle for loss. Okay,

190
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: the very next play they hit the tight end, you

191
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: make a tackleing might have been j D. Bertrand it

192
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: came up. Made the tackle for about a four or

193
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: five yard play. And then David on Yamada bursts through

194
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: and gets a sack, forces the field goal. Why is

195
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: that a big deal? Well, it kept at a one

196
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: score game. They kicked a field goal there, Atlanta went

197
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: right down the field and tied the game. Then you

198
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: go late in the football game, you need the ball back.

199
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: It's inside three minutes to go, and who comes up

200
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: the guy that's got more ball hawkings killed me. I

201
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: remember seeing Jesse Bates bushes the ball out. You get

202
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: the football back. Now we don't do anything with it

203
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: on offense. In fact, we go backwards on offense. And

204
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Kirk cast a Force went in the coverage because wourthd down,

205
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: it's picked off. What's the defense do they come in

206
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: and force them out of field goal range or they

207
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: can't even kick a field goal? So that is you know, okay,

208
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: we got the next man up, we got offense. I thought,

209
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: I throw a little love to the defense even though

210
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: it was a thirty six to thirty game. Got some

211
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: defense involved there. So the Kirk Cousins numbers are astronomical.

212
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: We had a really cool moment we celebrated on Thursday

213
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: night where Matt Ryan went in to the Ring of honor.

214
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: The impact of Kirk doing I mean, is it I irony?

215
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: I mean, how would you think that is five o

216
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: three the guy who had five o threes in the

217
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: building and the guy five o nines on the field.

218
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 4: I think I said this in the postgame podcast, but

219
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: it was literally like that gift of like look at

220
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: me eye and the captain Now like I'm surprised that

221
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: he wasn't doing that right after the game. But yeah,

222
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 4: it was ironic, but it was it was fitting in

223
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: a way. It was kind of a passing of the torch,

224
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: I think. And when we mentioned the wide receiver numbers

225
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: as well, it's like, for so much of the twenty

226
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: first century, this offense has been defined by the passing game,

227
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 4: partially because of Matt Ryan. But you know, just with

228
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: the ways that I think it was ahead of the

229
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: curve a little bit early on in Matt Ryan's time

230
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: with the Falcons. So to see it really get back

231
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: on track the night that he is going into the

232
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: Ring of Honor was fitting in some ways. But honestly, yeah,

233
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 4: it was a little bit ironic that that that it's

234
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 4: the game where Kirk sends the all time record.

235
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Well, and we're talking about, if I'm not mistaken, the

236
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: night he threw for five hundred yards was the night

237
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: that Julio went for over for two hundred yards himself.

238
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: So more impressive shock that all of a sudden you've

239
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: got you know, you got Drake with one fifty, you

240
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: got Mooney with one oh nine, you got Kyle with

241
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: eighty eight, you got Cadero with sixty seven. The diversity

242
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: or the disparity and is spreading it around the more

243
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: impressive this one.

244
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: I think. So, I mean just a distribution of it.

245
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you look at that ball game, you look

246
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 5: at how many ways that Falcon's offense could attack you.

247
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: First off.

248
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 5: Congrats to Drake, fourth fastest Falcon to reach two thousand

249
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 5: receiving yards just thirty eight games, Kirk eighteenth all time

250
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 5: now and touchdowns in two hundred and seventy six. But

251
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 5: the way they went about it I thought was hard

252
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 5: to stop because you look up and you say, yeah,

253
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 5: Drake's always had pretty good games versus Tampa. He's played well.

254
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: He was playing really well in that ball game. But

255
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: then you got Ray ray Hill on third down. You

256
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: got Darnell Mooney here catching a curl around to convert.

257
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 5: You got Kyle you know, running down the scene of

258
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 5: busting through. I mean, it was so many options that

259
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,479
Speaker 5: he had in his ball game. And as a defensive

260
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 5: coordator looking at this ball game, he said, Okay, what

261
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: do we take away? Who do we try to attack?

262
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 5: Do we try to go after Kirk? And he does.

263
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 5: He did such a great job of getting the ball

264
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 5: out of his hands. I mean, just listening to him

265
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 5: talk to you after the game, Arts, you could hear

266
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 5: the mental processing that he goes through on every single play,

267
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: even the play we just talked about with Mooney.

268
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: I heard him say, you know what, I really didn't

269
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: have much on that play.

270
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: I saw them dropping a little bit, and I felt

271
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: like that was the best play, so I just shot it.

272
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: And that's called just trusting it.

273
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: And as a QB, to have that kind of trust

274
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: in commonness and your receivers goes a long way. And

275
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 5: obviously with him spread it around, it shows you he

276
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 5: has that trust in Commedt. The one thing I lean

277
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 5: on is what did everybody say of the week one?

278
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 5: After watching him play versus Pittsburgh, And you hear guys

279
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 5: coming to Press common and say, you know what, there's

280
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 5: just a couple of things here there. There are a

281
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: couple little plays, There are a couple of little execution

282
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 5: things that if we clean those up, we're gonna be

283
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: really special, gonna be really good. And then you see

284
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 5: a game like this happen, then you say, it's not

285
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: just talk. These guys actually are starting to get better

286
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 5: weekend and week out, and that's all you can ask

287
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 5: for as you grow into this season with all the

288
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 5: new pieces that you have. So I thought it was

289
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: really impressive the way they went about it and the

290
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 5: way they moved the football around. So many guys you know,

291
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 5: we're part of it, and it keeps a lot of

292
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 5: dudes happy. As we know in this league, guys want

293
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 5: their touches, guys want the football. And if you got

294
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: a chance to do that and you get a chance

295
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 5: to win too, oh man, it's it's a dynamic thing.

296
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: I think it was twelve or thirteen plays of fifteen

297
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: yards or more you were looking for that explosive eighty

298
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: one plays on offense to fifty one for Tampa. You

299
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: talk about a complete flip from the first four games, right, true,

300
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: All right, so we know all the kind of things

301
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: that went well, and we know how coaches are. You

302
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: talk to coaches all the time, Shock and I have

303
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: played for guys. They're never happy with anything. Hey, good

304
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: to get the win. But what do we fix? I

305
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of things, even with this Atlanta

306
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: team at three and two, that there are things you

307
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: could really adjust. Will for you what sticks out to

308
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: you that Atlanta needs to really continue to work on

309
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: and try to.

310
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 2: Get fixed penalties?

311
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: For me, I mean that that is especially offensive penalties,

312
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: because when you look at the defensive side of the ball,

313
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 4: I want to say the Falcons are one of the

314
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: best in the league in terms of defensive penalties, meaning

315
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 4: they have the fewest and It really is just these

316
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 4: drives that begin with a with a false start or

317
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: where you've got a hold, and you know, I don't

318
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: want to sing single anybody out, but I will just

319
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: because I spoke to him after the game. But Matthew Berchern,

320
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 4: you know, even in a win like this that was,

321
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: you know, exhilarating. You could tell that he was seriously

322
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: kind of grappling with some of the plays that he's

323
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: had over the last couple of weeks. And it can

324
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 4: tell that they're taking this stuff seriously because they understand

325
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: how thin the margins are in this league. And when

326
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 4: you one of those drives, all it took was one

327
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: of those I was getting derailed because of an untimely penalty,

328
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: And when you see what the ceiling is, and honestly,

329
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: the ceiling could have been even higher on Thursday night,

330
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: that just shows you what this team is capable of.

331
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: But it also highlights how detrimental those penalties can be

332
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 4: because of what they can ultimately cost you. So I

333
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: think that that is the attention to detail part that

334
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: will hopefully we'll start to see getting ironed out over

335
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: the next few weeks.

336
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: That's such a great point in Atlanta even scored a

337
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: touchdown and overcame two major penalties in one drive, had

338
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: two holding penalties that they ultimately got the ball in

339
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: the end zone. That doesn't happen very often. Great point there,

340
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: will You got to don't derail yourself. It's hard enough

341
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: to gain yards, let alone give it. Give it back shock.

342
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: What's something that sticks out for you that Atlanta really

343
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: needs to continue to work on and try to move

344
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: toward a little bit better success.

345
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 5: In I think we're still in the phase of trying

346
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: to figure out how best we can affect the quarterback.

347
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 5: And I think obviously the big thing that everybody looks

348
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 5: at it sacks and the numbers, and I think that

349
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 5: that's still an issue right now. Obviously you bring in

350
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 5: a Matthew Judah, you hope some of the guys around

351
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 5: him can help in that. But I think we're still

352
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 5: struggling on getting to the quarterback. But I think you've

353
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 5: done a good job of trying to affect a quarterback.

354
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 5: Now that's two different things, and I think the facts

355
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 5: are in a space where they're trying to create the pressure,

356
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 5: they're forcing the issue and just sometimes you're just not

357
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 5: getting home or we've played against some really good quarterbacks,

358
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: to be honest, and a lot of guys know where

359
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 5: to get the football out where to go. You also

360
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 5: played against some athletic quarterbacks, so sometimes if you may

361
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 5: be home, they find a way to get out of it.

362
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: And you know, we know a deal on that.

363
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 5: But I think affecting a quarterback is still something that

364
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 5: we are searching for. It is something that we still

365
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 5: are hungry for. And that's something I know fans are

366
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 5: really wanting to see get done. Is us get the

367
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 5: quarterback on the ground. And I know it's gonna come

368
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 5: with time. I know Jimmy Lake and his staff are

369
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 5: working hard as ever. I know that want to get

370
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 5: to the quarterback. And you know, no defensive coordinator says, yeah,

371
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 5: you know, we're just good with affecting the quarterback of

372
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 5: being around them.

373
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: You want to get them on the ground.

374
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 5: But I think once that starts happening, then you start

375
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 5: being able to get off the field, you start being

376
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 5: able to create more turnovers. All those things got to

377
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: work hand in hand together. But right now, you know,

378
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: through you know, four or five games of the season,

379
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: you're still near the bottom of the league. When it

380
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 5: comes to you know, getting that quarterback on the ground.

381
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: I'll take you one area guys that I'm a little

382
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: concerned about, and I love the coach who runs it,

383
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: so I'm not overly concerned, and that's Mark Keith Williams

384
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: in special teams. But our kickoff coverage units are.

385
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: Struggling a little bit.

386
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: And it's interesting too, because we think about injury and

387
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: how it impacts defense and how it impacts the offensive

388
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: side of the football, but we don't think about the

389
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: depth because those guys now step up and start and

390
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: then you got to take them off some of the

391
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: special teams, and so some of these guys you elevate

392
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: off the practice squad or whoever, they now step into

393
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: some of those roles and they haven't been repping it.

394
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: You know, they got that reps that week, but they

395
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: haven't necessarily gotten the reps. So, but the kickoff coverage unit,

396
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I think most teams are still trying to figure this out.

397
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: Well.

398
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've tracked this yet, but I

399
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: mean it's interesting to kind of watch other games as

400
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: to how people are kicking off and what they're trying

401
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: to do to kind of it's the new dynamic kickoff.

402
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: How to manipulate it, but you certainly you're already giving

403
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: the team if you kick it in the end Z

404
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: on the thirty yard line, and that if you look

405
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: at the numbers of teams that started their twenty and

406
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 1: start their thirty, the numbers go dramatically up as your

407
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: chances to put points on the board. Now all of

408
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: a sudden they start at the thirty five or a

409
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: couple of return one return out over.

410
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: The fifty in this game.

411
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: If you had any conversation there and what your thoughts

412
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: on on what's going on there as far as the

413
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: different ideas is how to play.

414
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: That, yeah, I'll be honest, Actually there's not the level

415
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 4: of creativity I expected to see, you know, even from

416
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 4: week one on till now. Like I thought it would

417
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 4: be a little bit of an open season and that

418
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 4: they were playing koy all throughout the preseason and then

419
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: it'd be like boom, week one hits like now we're

420
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: getting the craziest returns you've ever seen. It hasn't been

421
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: that way. And to be honest, in the conversations that

422
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 4: I've had with with special teams, coaches and players, like

423
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 4: I can't tell if they're being cagey and that they

424
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 4: do actually have some things up their sleeves, or if

425
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: what we're seeing is just kind of what we're getting

426
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 4: and they haven't really cracked the code yet on these

427
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: rule changes, and maybe there's not really a code to

428
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 4: be cracked, because all these guys are amazing athletes and

429
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: they can cover space and they're well equipped to do it.

430
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think the jury's a little out so

431
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 4: far on the new kickoff rule. But I do remember

432
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 4: one thing Keith Armstrong saying back, you know, when he

433
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 4: was here in Atlanta, is anytime there is a rule

434
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 4: change like this, and usually we see it on special teams,

435
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 4: it seems a racing to figure out, like what is

436
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 4: that edge that we can gain and the first one

437
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 4: to figure it out if there really is one to

438
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 4: be gained there, like they will have a legitimate advantage

439
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 4: in some of these games based on special teams.

440
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 5: I'll be honest, my, I feel like watching a lot

441
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 5: of games around the league, and not even just to

442
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 5: facus because it's been a little bit different, but just

443
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 5: watching other games, I felt like teams have had more

444
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 5: success when they pooch it.

445
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: They pooch it kind of like in the.

446
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: Corner or something, and that kind of shrinks the field

447
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 5: form and now you get everybody coming into one area

448
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 5: and teams are not getting back to the twenty five

449
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 5: yard line. So I think for me personally, you know,

450
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 5: I still think the jury's out on it, for sure.

451
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 5: I think some teams have had some success they got

452
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 5: it out of had some good runs here and there.

453
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: Maybe a guy but you could be missed. But I

454
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 5: think for the most part, from what I've seen, is

455
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 5: when they pooch it in the corner, that's when teams

456
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 5: have had more success of covering those kicks and having

457
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 5: a little bit more success as opposed to just kicking

458
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 5: it down in the middle of a guy running back.

459
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 2: Yeh, that's great point, bro.

460
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, We've got one of the best in

461
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: the game at trying to figure this thing out, and

462
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: that's Marquise Williams. I don't think there's anybody better in

463
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: the league. Got some good ones around the league, there's

464
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: no question, but there's nobody better than Marquis and figuring

465
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: out what's going on and how you move your chest

466
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: pieces around to try to get the most out of that.

467
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: And obviously the flip side of that is getting some returns.

468
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: We've got two guys that are dynamic back there and

469
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: Avery Williams and Ravery McLeod, so providing them some opportunities. Certainly,

470
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: special teams is another thing that we need to continue

471
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: to work on. A couple of the things that jump out. Obviously,

472
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: you got to continue to tackle well, especially if you're

473
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna play defense the way you are the way you're

474
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: you're kind of playing a little bit softer and allowing

475
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: him to throw the football underneath.

476
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 3: That's something.

477
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: The third down thing was a huge, huge point of

478
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: emphasis this week. I think that in credit the team

479
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: forgetting and that's another point I want to get to.

480
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: Let me get to this before I start talking about that,

481
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: was will the growth of this football team from a

482
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: maturity standpoint. You win a huge game in dramatic fashion

483
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: on Sunday, fifty eight yard field goal. This is a

484
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: young football team. You got a bunch of young guys.

485
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: For them to reboot the system and get ready again

486
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: in four days to play speaks to the maturity of

487
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: the team.

488
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: I think, don't you absolutely yeah.

489
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: I mean you mentioned that it is young, but it

490
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: is a young team that got kind of older. I

491
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: think quickly during training camp when they added guys like

492
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: Justin Simmons and at Judon, I thought that that would

493
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 4: have just as big an impact in the locker room

494
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 4: as anywhere else. And when you already have players like

495
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: Jesse Bates, Grady Jared Jake Matthews, like the core is

496
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: in place, and I think Raheem Morris a lot of

497
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: people like to talk about his energy and his personality

498
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: and the impact he's having on the building. I think

499
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: the biggest impact he's having is allowing these guys to

500
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: kind of be themselves and giving them the space to

501
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: operate and really take ownership of this team, of this

502
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: locker room. And so to your point, like that is

503
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 4: a great green flag that we see them go from

504
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: a really emotional, impassioned game and then on a short

505
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 4: week turn right back around against a good team and

506
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: in another like thrilling late game, Like the emotional toll

507
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 4: that these five games probably have taken to still see

508
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 4: them persevere, it does mean a lot. And again, like

509
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: as the season continues to unfold, I think we will

510
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: see them get better in these details. But the perseverance

511
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 4: and personality part of this team, they've already kind of

512
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 4: answered a lot of questions that I had, and again,

513
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: they needed to be doing it right now at this time,

514
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 4: given what the stretch is that they're currently in shock.

515
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: Before we turn the page and go to Carolina, walk

516
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: us through that final sequence no timeouts. Rod does a

517
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: really good job. Rahiem does a really good job of

518
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: taking care of the time using the timeouts, and the

519
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: defense is a good job of shoving them out of

520
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: field goal range, which provides us the opportunity to need

521
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: a field goal to tie it. So take me through

522
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: your thought process there as you take the field with

523
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: no timeouts left, knowing I've got to get young Waiku

524
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: at least to the other team's forty yard line somewhere

525
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: that there.

526
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 3: I think it's a quarterback.

527
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 5: The first thing you think about is the first play

528
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 5: has to be a productive one. The first play of

529
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 5: a drive always has to be one that gets you

530
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: going and understanding you got no timeouts, understanding where to

531
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: go with the football.

532
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: And it's not just a quarterback.

533
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 5: If you watch the sequence of the last couple of

534
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 5: plays of the ball game or leading into that field goal,

535
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: you think about, you know what, here's a situation where

536
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 5: we got a lot of opportunity.

537
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: We've got a lot of options for us, and.

538
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 5: People think, oh, let's go to the side, let's you know,

539
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: find creative ways to throw it down the field. And

540
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 5: I thought Zach Robinson and Kirk Cousin and the whole

541
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 5: offense was very strategic about how they wanted to get

542
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 5: to a certain spot and certain area on the field.

543
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 5: And a lot of people like, man, you ran a

544
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 5: shlant at the last part of it, But I think

545
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 5: they had a great, great strategy amount of where to

546
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 5: go with it. And then you watch every single other

547
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: guy on the field, and here's the thing that a

548
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 5: lot of people or people not talking a lot about,

549
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: is the process of going to that point of where

550
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 5: the football has to be, you know, put down everything else.

551
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 5: If you watch the play before and or you watch

552
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 5: the play where he throws the slant to Drake London,

553
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: my main news is running a forty all the way

554
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 5: to Drake London to get to the football because he understands,

555
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 5: for one, if I get lined up as fast as

556
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: I can, every single other person on that offense can

557
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 5: get lined up as well.

558
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: That's Ryan news, by the way, the center.

559
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 5: And he does such a good job of springing to

560
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 5: the football, getting lined up and every other guy. You know,

561
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 5: you gotta have seven guys on the line screaming, So

562
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 5: it don't matter where you're at getting lined up. It's

563
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: some guys teams work on all the time. But in

564
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 5: that clutch moment, each guy was prepared, and that tells

565
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 5: you about what the staff does weekend and week out

566
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 5: to get these guys ready to play. Yeah, these professional players,

567
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: but they also have to go through the nuances of

568
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 5: a ball game and this is one ending the game

569
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 5: and this is something that they prepare for that gave

570
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 5: them an opportunity to go win a ball game. So yeah,

571
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 5: the innergy's great. Ron sounds good, everything's good. But guess

572
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 5: what these coaches are teaching to. These coaches are doing

573
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 5: a great job of putting these guys in positions to win.

574
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 5: So these guys getting lined in. You can see the

575
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 5: last play. My man be John is standing seven yards

576
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 5: you know off the hash, you know, with his hands

577
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 5: on his knees, but he understands get set, be still.

578
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 5: I don't care where you're at, just getting lined up,

579
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 5: and you're talking about just the small minute details that

580
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 5: give you opportunities to win. A ball game center running

581
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 5: to the ball, Drake handed it to the referee, so

582
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 5: they get spot a real quick news who's getting down

583
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 5: everybody else in their spot. And then young Way coming

584
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 5: on after having a block kick, having a miskick and

585
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 5: be able to have the mental appetude to just finish

586
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 5: a kick like that to send your team till overtime,

587
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 5: give yourself a chance. I mean, that sequence was fun

588
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 5: to watch and it shows exactly what happens here, you know,

589
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 5: Monday through Saturday when they go through practice that people

590
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 5: don't see. But these guys are doing the small things

591
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 5: that's helping them win ball games.

592
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: And one more aspect of that play, if you watch

593
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: where Drake Lennon goes down, he gets right on the

594
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 4: hash that's where he gets tackled. It's I don't know

595
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: if the play is designed to go right the but

596
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: like he gets it, he finds that hash and he

597
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: stays on the hash park and he gets tackled ball

598
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 4: right there.

599
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: I talked to Raheem yesterday for then this is being

600
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: We're taping this on a Tuesday, so I had a

601
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: chance to talk to Raheem for his Coaches show for

602
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: the radio, and I said, were you okay with the

603
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean, because I've been in those situations. Are you

604
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: practicing there's kind of we're kind of right on the

605
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: dividing line. Twelve seconds. It's about the number that you

606
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: need to get the playoff and then get up and

607
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: get it spiked. He says, Yeah, Drake might have taken

608
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: one two mint, but he got down in time. And

609
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: as you said, Ryan Newsll got up, got the ball,

610
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: he touched the ball, spiked it, and so just a

611
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: tremendous operation. And it's something, as Shaq said, they work

612
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: on it. That's something they do that kind of stuff

613
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: in practice. So it's not something that hey, let's just

614
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: see if we can figure this thing out. They do

615
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: practice that all right. Well, when we turn our sights

616
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: to the new the next division opponent, I think most

617
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: fans will look at us say Carolina are really Carolina.

618
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta's favored by five or six points in

619
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: the game, which is kind of a pretty big spread

620
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Your thoughts on Carolina where they're at

621
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: that they had some moments to but Hubbard's played pretty

622
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: well for them running back wise. I think he fell

623
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: three yard shot of his third consecutive hundred yard game

624
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: against the Bears Carolina.

625
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when you look at kind of the

626
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 4: tail of two teams here, at least two offenses. Once

627
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 4: Andy Dalton kind of got inserted in the lineup, they

628
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 4: had that big Week three win where they I think

629
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 4: surprised a lot of pe But since then they've come

630
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 4: back to earth a little bit. Chuba Hubbard is still

631
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 4: their lead dog in the backfield and he is playing

632
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 4: really well. So that is where I think it starts.

633
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 4: When you're kind of looking at Carolina's offense, at least

634
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 4: is slow down that run game and then maybe take

635
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 4: your chances with making Andy Dalton and Deontay Johnson and

636
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 4: Savior Legett and those guys beat you. But to me

637
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 4: and I like the fact that this is actually a

638
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: road game because I think it's just a different element

639
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 4: that allows this team to really take the business trip mindset. Hey,

640
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: we're going up to Carolina to do a job, to

641
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 4: get a win, to come back and continue rolling on

642
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 4: our way. Because after the emotions of what we've talked

643
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 4: about in this really hard kind of five games Slay

644
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: to open up with, you could look at the Carolina

645
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: Panthers and even though this is an NFL team and

646
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: there are no guinea games in the NFL, this is

647
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 4: a different caliber, at least on paper of opponent than

648
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 4: what you've played the first five weeks. So I like

649
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 4: that this is a road game. I like that the Falcons,

650
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: I think will be a very business approach mindset and

651
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: going and the job done. So yeah, it's it's a

652
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: little bit of a trickier one than I think a

653
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: lot of fans are thinking at this point, but it's

654
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 4: a division game at the end of the day, and

655
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: it's extremely important.

656
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: Man. That's such a good point. I think that to

657
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: be able to kind of take yourself away from the

658
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: emotion of the Stagemen Stadium and all the magic that's

659
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: happened over the last week or so down that's a

660
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea great thought there as

661
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: far as you try to dial back in to get

662
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: a win you need to have. You got to go

663
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: have a division win for sure on the road. Jaques

664
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: Carolina is a team that has been a thorn in

665
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: our side a few times. We've seen it the last

666
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: couple of years we've gone up there. Tell me about

667
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback and Andy Dalton, who's on a team

668
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: that they're struggling. A little bit mindset there for him

669
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: knowing that, hey, I've won in this league and I

670
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: can get it done. Your thoughts about Andy Dalton at

671
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: quarterback first, So Arch.

672
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 5: I know you're looking forward to going, hoping and getting

673
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 5: good weather. I think I ain't been good weather since

674
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 5: I've been up there last two times.

675
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: Right, It's been nasty and we found a way to

676
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: make it even nastier.

677
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 5: But you're talking about Andy Dawson, a guy who's been

678
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 5: around the league since the twenty eleven. He's played a

679
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 5: bunch of football, and he is an opportunity and I

680
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: think he realizes, Hey, the first cutball games he was in,

681
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 5: he played pretty well, was able to, you know, do

682
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: some good things for him and move a football score points,

683
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 5: something they weren't doing at the beginning of the year

684
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 5: with Bryce Young and now didn't have his best game

685
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 5: last week versus Chicago. But this is still a veteran

686
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 5: Curada quarterback that's been around the league, that's done it.

687
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 5: He understands the nuances of how to play in this league.

688
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a guy who's you know, I think

689
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 5: it's doing pretty good taking care of the football. This

690
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 5: year's complete sixty five percent of his passes, five touchdowns,

691
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 5: two interceptions. But the best thing for him is you

692
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 5: mentioned earlier he's got a back. He's got a dude

693
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 5: that's downhill, that's physical, that runs in Chewba Hubbard. This

694
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: guy's got three hundred and fifteen yards rushing last three

695
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 5: ball games. Aren't you just mentioned he had two one

696
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: hundred yard games like he at ninety five ninety seven

697
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 5: in the last ball game, average over five point eight

698
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: to carry, and next closest to him is Miles Sanders

699
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 5: with twenty seven carre. So I expect to see a

700
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 5: lot of Chew behobbling in this ball game. And we

701
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 5: talked about the last few games the Falcons have kind

702
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 5: of struggled with that interior run from opposing teams, and

703
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 5: this is gonna be a guy who they absolutely are

704
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 5: going to force the issue when you call run the football.

705
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 5: So you think about the quarterback and what he means

706
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: similar to what we have here, similar to what every

707
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 5: other team in the National League talks about, is having

708
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 5: a good run game absolutely help SAI quarterback. Regardless of

709
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 5: what the year he's in. If you can have a

710
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 5: guy who can be productive, it gives you a chance

711
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 5: to go play. Now, on the other side, you're talking

712
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 5: about a team that's giving up I think, one hundred

713
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 5: and forty three points and in their four losses this year,

714
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 5: they got to find a way to shlow this offense down.

715
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 5: They're gonna look up and say, man, he's dudes through

716
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 5: for five hundred yards last week. They got a bunch

717
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: of dudes out there who can catch the rock. And

718
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 5: that weighs in as well on the other side for

719
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 5: and Dalton in that offense, because you look at him

720
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 5: and say, man, these Jews are scoring, these guys are

721
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 5: putting up points. How much does he start to press?

722
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 5: All right, we had a couple good ballgames with things

723
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 5: look well, and he says, all right, here's my second

724
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 5: opportunity to get in this game and play at a

725
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 5: high level. And if he doesn't, he starts looking over

726
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 5: his shoulder. Now, So I think this is a big

727
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 5: moment for Andy Dalton as well, to show the Carolina

728
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 5: Panthers organization that he still deserves to be the guy.

729
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 5: I know they're you know, trying to figure out who

730
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 5: they are as a team and as identity for him.

731
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: But this is a game that the facts will have

732
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 5: to make sure they're on their p's and q's because

733
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 5: this is the guy who's been there and done it.

734
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: You just wonder about the atmosphere up there, and I

735
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of conversation about how that ship's

736
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: being run and all that kind of stuff that they're

737
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to dive into that. I don't profess

738
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: to know how that's going up there. But I think

739
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: we're too early in the season. Fellas for a team,

740
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: I think fans might say, well, they got nothing to

741
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: lose or one and four. It's too early for that mindset.

742
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: I think if you were in week thirteen, week fourteen,

743
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: and you were you know, you were two and twelve

744
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: or whatever, then yeah, you might have some of that, Hey,

745
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm playing for my NFL career, might be playing another team.

746
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: I think it's too early for that right now, don't

747
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: you will?

748
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it definitely is.

749
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: I mean when you're talking about what we're five games

750
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 4: into the season, Yeah, there's way too early for teams

751
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: to kind of, I think, be hitting the panic button. However,

752
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: when you saw how things shook out last year in

753
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 4: Carolina and you know, coach doesn't make it all the

754
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: way through, Like, yeah, it can be dicey in an

755
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: environment like that, especially as a first time head coach.

756
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 2: And so I'm really curious to see the type of.

757
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 4: Carolina team that we get out there on Sunday because

758
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 4: they've already made one big shake up by benching Bryce

759
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 4: Young and going with a different quarterback. So it feels

760
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 4: like there's you know, fewer and fewer levers for them

761
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 4: to maybe pull week in a week out to get

762
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: a different type of result from this team. But I'm

763
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: curious to see given the worst scoring defense in the

764
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 4: NFL that the Panthers possess right now. And we can

765
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 4: open up this to both of y'all because the Falcons

766
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 4: surprised me a little bit by taking the ball yes

767
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 4: last week on Thursday against but they like, do we

768
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 4: expect them to do that again in this game and

769
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 4: just say, hey, let's go ahead and take it, shall

770
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: we mean business?

771
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: Go down the field? What's the approach there?

772
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 5: That's a good question because it brings up my next

773
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 5: thought that I wanted to ask Archi about, who's you know,

774
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 5: been around his team, been in all these different environments,

775
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 5: And think about our last three foot ball games with

776
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 5: inside mercey has been stadium, the energy, the atmosphere. How

777
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 5: much that helps a team, helps a player, helps you

778
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 5: go about your business. And you just talked about the

779
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 5: environment going to Carolina. How do you think or what

780
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 5: would you say the mindset should be for this team

781
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 5: heading to an environment like Carolina where you mentioned it

782
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 5: won four. Things aren't going well. You just played on

783
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 5: Monday night, Sunday night. You've had these electric environments. Now

784
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 5: you go into Carolina where quite frankly, you're gonna have

785
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 5: to bring your own jeeks. Do you think that plays

786
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 5: a part in how this game could be played out,

787
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 5: as Hey, the energy's not gonna be the same as

788
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 5: it was the last few weeks.

789
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

790
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: I think it translates to a good bit of what

791
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Will was talking about early on. The mindset has to

792
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: be your own, your own juice, right, you got to

793
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: go up there. Like Will was talking about, was hey,

794
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: this is a next opportunity for us to sign our

795
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: own resume, and our resume means we win in the division.

796
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: I think this is a veteran game too. I was

797
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: thinking this last week it would be a veteran week

798
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: because we talked about, okay, young football team that their

799
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: veterans been added to, like you talked out with Judahn

800
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: and Simmons and you Kirk and what Grady and what

801
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: Matthews mean to this team from a veteran standpoint, But

802
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that really hadn't played in impactful

803
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: games at least certainly over the last couple of seasons,

804
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: even the ones that were on this team. So I

805
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: thought this last week could be a veteran week. Veterans

806
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: are going to get them ready to go because you're

807
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: not going to game plan a ton a lot of

808
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: walk throughs, you're not going to rap a lot of stuff.

809
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: And they came out and played their best football game

810
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: on the offensive side, which is all about execution. This

811
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: one might be that when you start talking about maybe

812
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: I missed it a week, this is the week maybe

813
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: the veterans have to step forward and say, listen, yeah,

814
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: we just won two games in our building. But like

815
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: Will's talking about, we've got to get we got to

816
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: put the hard hats back on, and we've got to

817
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: go to work, and we've got to go to somebody

818
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: else's building. I'm wondering too. We've played in Mercedes Bens

819
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: for the five games. Yeah, okay, and so you played

820
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: outside in in in Philly and played, well, now you're

821
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: going to be outside. I don't know what the effects

822
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: are of some of the weather that's going on in Florida,

823
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: and you our hearts go out to those people. Hopefully

824
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: they'll be safe down there with this with this hurricane

825
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: coming in. But the weather and everything that's gone on

826
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: with Helene and the new one coming in, are we

827
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: going to get some residual and what does that do

828
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: potentially to us from a from an offensive standpoint or

829
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: being able to execute properly.

830
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a great question. And obviously, if the

831
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 4: weather is going to be a factor, I would expect

832
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 4: the run game to be more involved, certainly than maybe

833
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 4: we saw on Thursday. And that's the beauty of this

834
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 4: type of varied approach that Atlanta is looking for, frankly,

835
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: on both sides of the ball, and why I would

836
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 4: expect maybe to see a few more four to three

837
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 4: fronts on defense against a good run team with a

838
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 4: good interior run game, and offensively, yeah, maybe let's kind

839
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 4: of go right down the middle on them. A little

840
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 4: bit with Tyler al Jeer and John Robinson if whether

841
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: it's a factor obviously, if not, the beauty of this

842
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: matchup from an Atlanta offensive perspective is that you've got

843
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 4: a few different ways that you could look to attack

844
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 4: Carolina's defense. So I think again, for me, this game

845
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 4: just keeps circling back to it's more about what the

846
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 4: Falcons do. If the Falcons are able to take care

847
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 4: of their business, execute on their details, I think they

848
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 4: can have a pretty successful game on Sunday. It's more

849
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 4: just about staying out of their own way with penalties

850
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: and really being able to be on their p's and q's.

851
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: So specific key for you in this game would be,

852
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: let's do a better job of eliminating the penalty. You've

853
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: talked about that a couple of times. Is that Is

854
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: that where your kind of your head goes.

855
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

856
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 4: I think it's a two prong approach. Eliminating the penalties

857
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 4: to stay in advantageous situations out of the six, and

858
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 4: then efficiency and kind of those key areas third down

859
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 4: and in the red zone. If they're able to really

860
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 4: kind of execute in those three areas, I don't care

861
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 4: if they have two hundred and fifty yards on Sunday total.

862
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 4: I think they'll have a successful outcome if they're able

863
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 4: to avoid the penalties and be good on third down

864
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 4: and then the red zione.

865
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: I know you'll look at the third down number and

866
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: you'll say, well, hey, there were only six or fourteen,

867
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: But factor in the fourth down as well, because that's

868
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 1: the extension of the drive. You're two or three of those,

869
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: and so now all of a sudden you're eight of seventeen,

870
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: and that's in about that forty five forty six percentile.

871
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 1: That's winning football if you're right around that fifty percentile. Shock.

872
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: If you got a key for me for this game

873
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: against Carolina.

874
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 5: I think you gotta get after Andy Delton. I think

875
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 5: that's a big part of this ball game obviously. If

876
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 5: you you slow him down and slow down what they

877
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 5: want to do offensively. Gives you a chance to really

878
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 5: put the pressure on him and score points because you're

879
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 5: getting after him. Guess what you're getting after the run game,

880
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 5: You're getting after you know, forcing him into the third

881
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 5: long situation. Now that third down situation comes up and

882
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 5: you get off the field, Now you've got more opportunities

883
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 5: for the guys on the other side to eat more

884
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 5: and continue to spread that thing around. I think you

885
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 5: gotta good a chance of walking out of there and

886
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 5: feeling good about yourself.

887
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

888
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: For me, I'm going to continue to lean on one

889
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: of the areas that I was a little disturbed about

890
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: early in the game, and then it got better in

891
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: the second half. And it seems like that's what they've

892
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: done defensively, is they got to continue to tackle well

893
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: because of the way they're playing defense and the way

894
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: teams are trying to attack them with underneath passing game.

895
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: We've seen it three weeks in a row now, three

896
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: veteran quarterbacks. You've seen over the last three weeks they've

897
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: tried to attack you underneath. Thought that you better did

898
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: a better job in the second half tackling. Did a

899
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: better ob in the second half of tackling in the

900
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: New Orleans game. This will be a game they're looking

901
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: to latch onto something if they can get explosive from

902
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson or somebody dropped the ball to Schubert Hubbard

903
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: on a screen and find a way to get some

904
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: explosive yardage that they don't necessarily earn on it because

905
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: you miss a tackler too. That might be a key

906
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: for them to kind of keep this game close.

907
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: If you will. That's it for you.

908
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: You guys, got anything else you want to throw on

909
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: the Falcon fans out there.

910
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: We're not going to talk about the delay game, Pedal

911
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: till Man.

912
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't even know what to

913
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: say about it. Anybody that watched the delay game, if

914
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: you're not.

915
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 3: Maybe you can't remember.

916
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 2: That's if you don't remember.

917
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: At the end of the game, we get in position,

918
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: obviously to kick the field goal, and the referee stands

919
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: over the ball, and all our guys are just staying

920
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: there waiting, okay to flow it ready, and then all

921
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden we get a flag. Can you tell

922
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: us what is there something there that we don't know

923
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: that you could tell us about that will?

924
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

925
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 4: See, you know, I just walked myself into this trap

926
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 4: because I can't I can't afford you about anything.

927
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 2: Only to say that the players are as confused as

928
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: we all were.

929
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 4: I just know after the game, Raheem said he didn't

930
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 4: really know what was going on either, that he was

931
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: going to ask and try to get some more information.

932
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 4: But we haven't talked to him since so, so Wednesday

933
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 4: will be our first chance to follow up with Raheem.

934
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: And this might be the earliest week and get this

935
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: information too. Do you have any news for the fan

936
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: at this point on guys like Drake London as far

937
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: as he got banged up in the game. A couple

938
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: of times it seemed like Drake came back the Alford

939
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: was knocked out of the game. He's probably in concussion protocol,

940
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: I would assume, and we won't know anything about that

941
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: until Wednesday. But you've got a word on those guys.

942
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 4: No, not not on those guys, and generally you know

943
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 4: Raheem has held those until Wednesday, but I will say

944
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 4: yesterday was announced Nate Landman has been designating return officle.

945
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, land minds back.

946
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 4: It remains to be seen where he is obviously at

947
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 4: twenty one day window, which which opened up on Monday.

948
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 4: But if he potentially could get back on the field

949
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 4: for Sunday, as we look at this Chebe Hubbard matchup

950
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 4: like that would be a huge get back for this defense,

951
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 4: that would allow them to do some fun things. So

952
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 4: we'll see as it pertains to Drake London de Alford,

953
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 4: those guys. But Nate Lamban coming back designated to return

954
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 4: off of IR.

955
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 3: That's great. We're gonna bring Arch out of the booth.

956
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 3: Roy Anderson played quarterback and lamb back and running back.

957
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: Arch can do it no problem.

958
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: And the young guy from Notre Da, man JD. Bertrand,

959
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job, by the way. Congratulations Luke Roukeroo.

960
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: He played in his first game as an Atlanta Falcon,

961
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: and I thought he played with his hair on fire.

962
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was a difference maker in the defensive line. Well,
