00:00yesterday the difference i said you know the difference in the radio shows that we're about
00:03to do tomorrow are going to be like two different ends of the earth either we're going to be talking
00:07about a game where you know maybe michael pennix didn't have as big an impact or we're roster we
00:12just can't get our guys the ball or we're oh and three and looking at you know having to go
00:17to new
00:17orleans and baltimore and you know chicago niners they're all coming up in the next four or five
00:22weeks or i said like one and two with a game in new orleans a team that we're used to
00:28as a rival
00:28that we beat on a regular basis for katrina but but i don't think mike and i've covered the falcons
00:33for 32 years um it was i don't know top five or six best because it may be the most
00:42impressive
00:43start to finish of any two or three games ever right yeah utter domination on the road in a
00:49nationally televised game utter domination now there's been a lot of great wins you know the
00:54packer win here in the nfc title game i don't want i don't want to get too over the top
00:57of the season
00:58was hanging in the balance and you're playing a team that a big favorite over you and you're
01:02playing on the road and you're playing in lambeau field and your fan base is at wits end and you
01:09absolutely put an ass whooping on another nfl team that i have not seen for many times uh in this
01:16well not only that but you got multiple national pundits laughing at the fact that you've got three
01:21straight games on on primetime television great i mean a bunch of them uh and you're right i don't
01:26and i kept using this term last night so anybody that listened to that show probably heard me say
01:29this it's proof of concept right it doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme other than proving
01:35that what you want to do can work in in given circumstances it's proof of michael pennix it's
01:40proof of tommy reese it's true it's proof of bajon and this new run scheme and drake clinton and
01:44everything else it's just proof of concept that you went from a bunch of impossibilities to anything
01:50is possible moving forward and it feels pretty good you know uh when you say uh what was again
01:56proof of concept proof of proof of concept that the notion of like well you did just sign bijon
02:03for the biggest contract you did just sign drake london you did just sign kyle pitts like i don't
02:09think we're the miami dolphins like we know what they're doing they're not signing guys long term
02:12like our core nucleus and i was like at some point you know matt ryan they're not just giving
02:19out contracts because it's a nice thing to do yeah they're giving out contracts because these
02:23things these guys are impactful and i don't know if everybody's said it yet but bijon robinson is the
02:28closest thing to michael vick that we've had bijon is michael vick and i say it this way he's better
02:34than michael because michael vick wasn't the best quarterback in the league and bijon's the best
02:36running back in the league but um i know that nfl players are watching him like they watch michael
02:43and going dude that guy is it like he is the whole al michaels was falling all over himself last
02:50night
02:51he did not know what to he could not believe al michael's seen a lot of games and he just
02:56kept
02:56talking about bijon bijon he's like the national television audience there are not a lot of guys
03:03that look like him he's different no he is and it reminds me the clip we've seen a bunch over
03:08the
03:08last 10 years where larry fitzgerald's pointing to kyler murray and he's he's pointing at julio and
03:12he's going he's the best he's the best he's ever done it he's he's the best there is that's the
03:15way
03:16people in the league look at john robinson he's the best one out there doing what he's been able
03:21to do today i completely agree and he is the guy that is the cell michael vick was the michael
03:25vick
03:25was never you know the best player on the best team what he was was the biggest star in the
03:31nfl correct
03:31he was the biggest electrifying i think bijon robinson might be the biggest star in the nfl other
03:36than a quarterback right sure i mean now yeah if the falcons are 6 and 11 he's not as big
03:41a star but
03:41if they get on a run here yeah you want to talk about who you want on prime time and
03:47i agree with
03:47mike uh sandra that was the narrative was just mocking the falcons and they had every bit of
03:53evidence to do it i agree numbers were staggering and i when when i walked in yesterday and mike and
03:58i
03:58you know mike and i talk off the just tight and you said why why not like why not now
04:04and something
04:05flipped on that sunday where stefanski went nuts on them and drake and bijon talked about it on the
04:11set they go oh yeah after what happened after that game and stefanski just calm cool and collected and
04:16laid it out we knew it was going to be different this week yeah i and i'll give uh squid
04:21billy credit
04:21because obviously he's in those locker rooms and i could tell like he's never going to tell you and
04:25he is very comfortable saying look whatever that happens in that locker room is none of my business
04:29they were told turn the cameras off yes everybody shut up twitch your phone like he went crazy on
04:35i brought up i wonder what the message was from kevin's fans and the look on bo's face was like
04:40it was serious you know what i mean like whatever happened was absolutely crazy so i'm with you like
04:46i've been a part of those things and bijon saying that he sounded like martin luther king
04:49yeah that was just an incredible an incredible cut i'm like yes yeah uh but it but it had to
04:55be
04:56and i think we get so used to the stoic just monotonous kevin stefanski we had a caller earlier
05:02it was like shout out to kevin stefanski for just holding things steady you know what i mean when
05:05any bit of turmoil could have flipped this thing to be able to see matt ryan hand kevin stefanski a
05:11game ball last night just incredible scenes for falcons fans that weren't sure 24 hours ago what
05:17this team or what this era was going to look like yeah i mean there's so many elements that um
05:23speak well for the future but also speak well for this season which now you go like
05:29we know we've got a top-notch coaching staff tommy reese was absolutely friggin brilliant i was saying
05:35that in the second quarter or do he when he's like if i have bijon robinson and i can't execute
05:41a play
05:41action then what am i doing yep because there's only that's the best that's the best offensive player
05:47in the league yeah and if i can't find a way to to throw other things at folks and once
05:53panics got
05:53comfortable under his feet and he started going under center and running play action and zach
06:00robinson really threw panics under the bus by saying he's most comfortable in a pistol
06:04he's most comfortable in a pistol right we talked about this a little bit earlier yeah how many snaps
06:08was it 21 or 24 under center uh it's in the ballpark with one of those i'm not sure but
06:13it was a lot
06:14and it was beautiful and the whole thing that you're trying to do with john works so much better
06:19from under center talk about this all the time wide zone was not meant to be run out of pistol
06:22or
06:22shotguns just not it's not what that is and so you add that in you add the gap schemes you're
06:27right
06:27about that robinson dude you talked about that all year yes all last year i listened to you like dude
06:34you don't run that uh pistol offense or a gap scheme you don't run it and by the way the
06:38first snap of
06:39the night was under center i don't know if you know that michael pennix thing i was watching
06:42where's he going to be right under center hand to bijon six yard gain i was like oh i guess
06:48he can
06:48go under center and then after the pick i mean the play of the game really was the blow to
06:54the head
06:55we're down seven nothing oh my gosh the ball oh my gosh duh and i'll set the stage it there's
07:01an
07:01intentional grounding call michael pennix it goes from second one to now it's a loss of down to third
07:05eleven right he it's an incomplete pass brenton cox hits him in the face face you reset you
07:12get the first down the next play john robinson rips off the 50 plus yarder and you are off to
07:17the
07:18race i mean listen we were absolutely the better team we dominate we deserve it but that's how
07:22football games land they get the ball back michael pennix really hasn't completed a pass for them i
07:28mean maybe he had one started one of five and two of seven and that's when it was yep so
07:32they get the
07:33ball back he's one of five so far he's already got a pick and they have a chance to go
07:38up 14 nothing
07:39next play be john 55 it's seven all and then it was blow out city yep special teams gets the
07:46block
07:47nick folk you can count on the first things to fancy and the staff is we that's the sorriest ass
07:52special teams unit yeah that i've ever seen they fix that first uh stefancy was talking about their
07:57coverage right yeah he was and i think that's that's worth talking about too and it was you mentioned
08:03it's this well-rounded of a victory as we've seen in a long time the field goal block has a
08:07lot to do
08:08with that i mentioned earlier doesn't happen by accident that's something you scouted craig
08:12ackerman looks at zach harrison he's six foot seven he sees the lean out of the right tackle
08:16and he says you swim move in the sea gap and put that big bear paw up in the sky
08:20and you go block
08:21the field goal it doesn't just happen by chance man these are all things that these coaches put
08:25into motion yeah and and think about kyle pitts hasn't really had he has done nothing yet this
08:30year zachariah branch has done nothing yet this year i'm gonna stop you about kyle pitts
08:33his blocking his intention to detail his his mood i'm gonna say his tenacity is better than i've
08:42ever seen it well they also highlighted him last night on the broadcast on the touchdown run we
08:46listened to say look at what kyle pitts did he's going to the ground he's getting his face involved
08:51he's falling on people i've never seen that out of kyle pitts man i am so excited about the maturation
08:58process with him he hasn't caught many passes man but he was not worried about it last night
09:03well my point is just how i felt about bijon and drake they're gonna get theirs these are elite
09:08players these are some of the best players you know we're going to new orleans bijon ain't running
09:13for 170 on monday night football right drake ain't going for 190 on monday night football that's all
09:19they're going to be talking about yep but kyle pitts hasn't got going yet zachariah hasn't got going yet
09:23you know uh the brian robinson pickup i mean gosh are you kidding me he's so good 242 on the
09:30ground
09:31to 17 i'm not i'm not uh you know trying to be um crazy when i say it's one of
09:38the greatest falcon
