00:00A rare day with the roof open in
00:05Atlanta and basking in the
00:07sunlight downstairs is Sarah
00:09Kustak.
00:10Hi Sarah.
00:11Hi Jason.
00:12We've got a game.
00:13There is no question that
00:14Atlanta has got some extra
00:15motivation to snap this four
00:16game losing streak against a
00:18team that dominated them in
00:19week three.
00:20But Michael Pennington Jr.
00:21told us that they know what to
00:22expect for him.
00:24It's about not over
00:24complicating things not getting
00:26bored with simple smart
00:27execution as the Panthers try to
00:29keep playoff hopes alive.
00:31Bryce Young's facing a team he's
00:32had the most success against in
00:34his career and since there's no
00:36carryover or change in mindset
00:38but you've got to believe there's
00:39some extra level of confidence
00:41lining up against this group in a
00:43place in a building that he's
00:45fared so well.
00:46Sarah thank you Brady.
00:47I mean it's easy to say like
00:48forget about that first game
00:50either direction you've played in
00:53divisional game like you know
00:54it's still in there somewhere.
00:56There's no doubt it's in there
00:57but I think the other thing the
00:58takeaway from that is even though
00:59the score looked completely out
01:00of hand you know Atlanta out
01:02game Carolina in that matchup
01:04and then maybe the score wasn't
01:05quite indicative of how that
01:07game played out and how this
01:08matchup will play out today.
01:13Atlanta will get it first
01:15Carolina trying to announce
01:17itself still as a playoff
01:19contender at five and five
01:20mentioned a game and a half
01:21back at Tampa Bay for first in
01:24the NFC South and Ryan
01:26Fitzgerald Georgia native has it
01:28teed up to get ready to go and
01:30we'll see Michael Penix Jr.
01:32playoff contender the John Robinson
01:33and the offense for Atlanta first
01:43off we go week eleven in the NFL
01:46from Atlanta and it's Jamal Agnew
01:48on the return for the Falcons
01:49across the thirty yard line and
01:50Michael Penix Jr. and this
01:51offense we saw him put up twenty
01:52five in Berlin they weren't a
01:53efficient on third down what do
01:55you see on tape from Michael
01:56Penix Jr. that suggests some
01:57upturn coming.
01:58Well I think that's the hard
01:59thing is there has been the
02:00last four weeks I mean the
02:01reality is this offense has
02:02struggled a bit in particular
02:03on third down to stay on the
02:04field that didn't convert at
02:06all in Berlin and I think the
02:08biggest thing for Michael
02:09Penix is finding a way of
02:10getting into a rhythm early in
02:11games when he does so usually
02:13that translates to third down
02:14red zone touchdown so he's
02:16going to be able to get into
02:17a way of getting into a rhythm
02:18early in games when he does so
02:19usually that translates to
02:20third down red zone touchdown
02:22success Robinson the tailback
02:27there you see some motion
02:28Atlanta a heavy motion offense
02:31under Zach Robinson it's an
02:35opening handoff for Bajon
02:37Robinson breaking a couple
02:38tackles and he ends up with
02:39five Mike Jackson the corner
02:41comes up to make the stop in
02:42our first marker
02:45offense number seventy one
02:47ten yard penalty replay first
02:49down claim Martin
02:51who had it right the first time
02:53he did
02:56and you could tell right away
02:59took Wharton
03:01it was like I told on to me
03:03there I thought I had a good
03:04look at Bajon and
03:06can quite get enough of a hand
03:07on him but not the way you
03:08want to start off a drive and
03:09I think this has been though for
03:11Atlanta one of the issues
03:13somewhat predictability
03:14there's an outside zone running
03:15play not going to find another
03:17team the NFL runs as much outside
03:19zone is that way in the Falcons
03:22yeah about six out of ten run
03:24players are outside zone out of
03:26that pistol formation that they
03:27use more than anybody in the
03:29league and it's another handoff to
03:31Robinson but we expect both these
03:33teams are going to be pretty run
03:34heavy today that's why penalties
03:36on first down are going to be a
03:37real problem if they insert
03:39themselves into this game well
03:40that's been the formula for
03:41success look at the first five
03:42games you know Bajon Robinson goes
03:44over a hundred scrimmage yards
03:45each of those first five the
03:47offense was kind of flowing
03:48there for Atlanta that in the
03:49last four weeks held under that
03:51number and so look he's one of
03:53the most dangerous players you
03:54got to find a way of getting
03:55the football in a variety of
03:56ways and that's going to be the
03:57challenge they're often
03:58supporting her Zach Robinson
03:59today good news is Drake
04:01London is in the game he is
04:02starting you saw on the line
04:04ups there without the left
04:05guard Matthew Bergeron for the
04:07second week in a row.
04:08Penix off the motion from
04:13Sills he'll throw it down the
04:14middle and a juggle that ball
04:15is loose it's down on the
04:17ground and recovered
04:18eventually by Atlanta Mooney
04:20puts it on the deck so that
04:22was a catch and fumble and it
04:25will be third down and this has
04:27been one of the issues with
04:28this past game is Darnell Mooney
04:30Michael Penix it's been well
04:31documented that was actually a
04:33catch though struggling with
04:35some drops and finding that
04:36connection.
04:37Fortunately got back in the
04:38football.
04:40Carolina rushes for Penix wanted
04:42to load up now he dodges the
04:43rush he turns his eyes up field
04:46and throws to the sideline
04:47that's a tough grab and Mooney
04:50was at the sideline that is
04:53incomplete.
04:57Longer developing play but
04:59Mooney stays alive can't get
05:01both feet in balls too far
05:02outside.
05:03that's Corey Thornton the rookie
05:06out of Louisville in the
05:07coverage.
05:08We'll see more of him today at
05:10the nickel spot for Shaw Smith
05:12Wade and Bradley Pinion will punt
05:15this away to the rookie Trevor
05:18Etienne.
05:19So Carolina very quickly goes three
05:21and out certainly hurt by the
05:23penalty.
05:24Etienne at the 19 has the sideline
05:29and ends up to the 27.
05:33Good to see for Atlanta some
05:34better coverage work there it's an
05:36eleven yard return only they did
05:38struggle in Berlin with kick
05:40coverage and Bryce Young who's
05:42made a mini career out of facing
05:44the Falcons he's got three of his
05:46eleven wins as a quarterback
05:47against Atlanta Brady.
05:48This has been a stadium he's had
05:49a lot of success go back to his
05:51college days used to winning SEC
05:52championships here but last
05:54week you were inconsistent
05:56performance from Bryce Young
05:58you look at two weeks prior to
05:59that getting a big win versus the
06:01Green Bay Packers and that's
06:02where this team's at.
06:03But a 500 football team who's
06:05trying to figure out what their
06:06identity is.
06:08See about Rico Dowdle today was
06:11dinged up a little bit during
06:12the week but he is ready to go
06:14he's got the opening carry and a
06:16very violent runner and how many
06:18people told us this week the
06:19word violent about Rico Dowdle.
06:22He runs that sort of
06:24physicality that you're looking
06:25for but the third leading rush
06:27coming into the weekend in the
06:28NFL and really he took over
06:31after Chuba Hubbard got injured
06:32earlier and they tried to split
06:33carries between the two and
06:34you'll see Chuba Hubbard today
06:36but Dowdle just was the more
06:37productive runner.
06:38Flat out said we tried to share
06:39both and we thought Dowdle was
06:41the more productive back and
06:42gives us the best chance of
06:43winning.
06:44Mitchell Evans in the game as an
06:46extra tight end Tommy Tremble as
06:48well Bryce Young to throw he
06:50goes to the tight end Evans who
06:52is knocked down after a gain of
06:54about two it'll be third down
06:56coming up and the Atlanta
06:58defense which has been much
07:00better against the past this
07:01year the run defense has been
07:03something of a struggle.
07:04As you look at this third down
07:06situation when he's not off the
07:08table he's staying third and
07:09short back in two weeks ago the
07:13Panthers able to beat the Packers
07:15keeping them more than third and
07:17short last week not so much the
07:18case.
07:19Atlanta's been really good on third
07:21and three or fewer sixth best in
07:24the NFL this is third and three
07:26exactly and Bryce Young scanning
07:29and throwing down the middle to
07:31midfield it's Jalen Coker back and
07:34healthy gain of 15 and a first down.
07:37This is one of the strengths of
07:39Bryce Young working through his
07:41progression he starts on the
07:42opposite side of the field goes
07:43through number one number two and
07:44finds a way back to Coker open in
07:46the middle of the field.
07:48Grabbed by Coker.
07:50See him back healthy this is eighth
07:53catch of the year it's been so
07:55T-Mac heavy Ted Aroa and
07:57McMillan this offense they have
07:59some variables they've added with
08:01Coker this week opening drive for
08:09Carolina to midfield Dowdle gets a
08:17yard and a half if that group a
08:20roller roll with the stop the
08:21second year man out of Clemson.
08:25How do these offenses make sure to
08:27not be predictable.
08:28It's tough because they're almost
08:31mirror images of one another they
08:32both want to run the football
08:33they've been able to have a lot of
08:34success with them they both have
08:35receivers in Drake London for
08:37Atlanta obviously Ted Aroa
08:38McMillan for Carolina that are
08:40their number one go to guys get a
08:42lot of targets a lot of attention
08:43so it's figuring out a way of
08:44working in these other pieces or
08:46disguising with the looks that you
08:47present the defense to thin
08:49secondary secondary for Atlanta
08:51Mike Hughes D Alford both in
08:54active today for the Falcons.
09:00Young a little pump and he'll try
09:02to lob it that came out weird.
09:05That was Khalid Kareem who came
09:07in to hit the arm and affect that
09:09pass it'll be third down and nine.
09:12He had Ted Aroa McMillan on a
09:14double move.
09:15Let's take a look Khalid Kareem at
09:17the top of your screen.
09:19Working on a quantum just gets
09:22that long arm out just enough to
09:23tip the football comes out funny
09:25and fall short.
09:26Kareem just signed to the active
09:28roster this week.
09:30Fourth year man out of Notre Dame
09:33former fifth round pick of the
09:35the Bengals Atlanta mixing and
09:37matching with some defensive
09:38injuries today.
09:40Third and nine for Bryce Young.
09:45Quick hitter right down the
09:46middle to the forty one it'll be
09:49just short Jatavion Sanders the
09:51tight end and likely Carolina's
09:54going for this.
09:56Look at the toughness of Bryce
09:57Young too though.
09:58Ronnie Harrison Judah came
09:59untouched right up the gut.
10:01stays in strong to get the
10:03completion put him in fourth
10:04and short.
10:05Carolina's been pretty good on
10:07fourth down this year seventeen
10:08for twenty five Atlanta's only
10:10seen fourteen against this year.
10:26young giving some ground sling it
10:29over the middle he's got it and
10:30then some for Xavier Lee get all
10:34the way down to the twenty one on
10:37a fourth down and one.
10:41You're going to love the play
10:42design to on fourth and to draw
10:45the defense one direction
10:47booting back to the other and
10:49everyone drops Xavier Leggett
10:51who just sneaks behind the
10:53defense.
10:55Nice young good awareness.
10:58Again.
10:59Find that soft spot in the
11:01coverage.
11:03That's just the second catch the
11:05last three weeks for Xavier
11:07Leggett and a big one there for
11:09a Panther first down to the edge
11:11of the red zone.
11:12They're going to throw again
11:13young to Dowdle out of the
11:15backfield Rico Dowdle is out of
11:17bounds after a gain of two
11:19Caden Ellis the former New
11:21Orleans Saint with the stop
11:22second down coming up.
11:24Carolina has such a tough schedule
11:31on the way this is one of the
11:34games that they look at if
11:35they're going to really make
11:37themselves a playoff contender
11:38you're saying must have.
11:40It's close.
11:41Definitely is for Atlanta.
11:42We know as much as that.
11:51Dowdle hits that hole so hard all
11:53the way down to the 15 it'll be
11:55third down and Ford coming up.
11:58Carolina team they still have two
12:01games left with Tampa Bay at the
12:03very end of the year the win
12:05percentage above 560 it's the
12:08toughest remaining schedule in the
12:09NFL.
12:10If you're looking at the number you
12:11need to probably make it into the
12:13playoffs even as a wild card team
12:15let's just think about the division
12:17you probably you're going to have
12:18to assure yourself of five more
12:19wins with that schedule the rest of
12:20the way.
12:22I'll say all starts here today.
12:24McMillan in the slot at the bottom of
12:30your screen part of that trips
12:31closest to the formation Bryce
12:33Young looking that direction.
12:34He's got McMillan inside the five
12:37and a first and goal for Carolina
12:39but that's his first target it's
12:42been a more multiple offense so
12:44far when they move him around a
12:46bit in this case they put him
12:47inside all the way in the slot to
12:49find a soft spot in the zone
12:50coverage to get the conversion.
12:53You see all the focus and
12:54attention for the Atlanta Falcons
12:55defense will be on McMillan
12:57especially in this portion of the
12:58field.
12:59He's going up against one of the
13:00best in the league to do an A.J.
13:01Terrell.
13:08Donald the tailback play action
13:10that way.
13:11And Young is wrangled and dropped
13:13he's sacked all the way back at
13:15the 13 yard line by the rookie
13:17out of Tennessee James Pierce Jr.
13:19He and Walker have been menacing
13:22together recently.
13:23They were just what the doctor
13:24ordered when the draft came
13:26around they needed some pass
13:27rush help.
13:28See the long arms.
13:30He used to keep working at it.
13:32Rips around a quantum who.
13:34You know if there's one knock on
13:36a quantum at this point time in
13:37his career when it was come out
13:38at NC State it was the pass
13:39protection ability.
13:40It still seems to be an
13:41Achilles heel phone.
13:42First draft pick a couple of years
13:45ago for Carolina.
13:46They'll motion Dowdle here and
13:48then bring him back next to
13:49Bryce Young.
13:56Young steps up.
13:57Eyes downfield.
13:58He'll turn it upfield and end up
14:00at the nine.
14:01There is a marker in.
14:02It's Harrison with the stop.
14:04Looks like James Pierce got quite
14:06the jump on that.
14:07I almost thought they were
14:08going to play.
14:09Defense number 27.
14:11Five yard penalty.
14:12Still second down.
14:13And Bryce Young saw it
14:14immediately.
14:15Climbed the pocket off the
14:16snap.
14:17And in that case then when you
14:18got a free play I'd like to
14:19take a shot in the end zone
14:20instead of just kind of
14:21scrambling up.
14:22There's obviously not much
14:23from there.
14:24It was a great jump and then
14:25it wasn't as great of a jump
14:26because he realized it was too
14:27great of a jump.
14:28And that's going to be a
14:30matchup to keep an eye on the
14:31rest of the day.
14:32Again Jalen Walker you
14:33mentioned earlier but James
14:34Pierce both these guys can
14:35really get after.
14:36It's one of the reasons why
14:37the Falcons one of the best
14:38pass rush teams in the NFL.
14:42I know you get choked up by
14:43the pass rush.
14:44Second and goal.
14:49Young keeps it.
14:50Slings it into traffic right
14:52at the goal line.
14:53And McMillan is in.
14:55It's a touchdown Carolina.
14:57into a phone booth.
15:03And this is an area where
15:04Bryce Young excels almost like
15:06a point guard out there on
15:07the field.
15:08He just has this uncanny
15:09ability to kind of see the
15:10soft spots in zone coverage
15:13and watch McMillan turns
15:14around gets big.
15:16There's the power and
15:17strength to get in the end
15:18zone but it's the timing the
15:19accuracy and obviously again
15:20McMillan the connection
15:21they've got finding a way in
15:23the end zone.
15:27Carolina has the opening
15:29touchdown.
15:30Fitzgerald.
15:34To cap off a 12 play drive and
15:37half of the quarter.
15:39And the extra point is good.
15:43A couple key spots in the
15:44drive.
15:45Bryce Young turns to Ted Aroa
15:46McMillan.
15:47He's got his first touchdown
15:49since the Cowboy game week
15:50six.
15:54Love that.

16:07Opening drive for Carolina.
16:14Twelve plays seventy three
16:15yards seven and a half
16:16minutes and for a defense that
16:17has been outstanding in the
16:18first quarter this year it's
16:19another strong start for
16:20Carolina Fitzgerald boots it
16:32away side of the landing zone
16:34inside the five it's Brooks to
16:36twenty and he gets absolutely
16:38hammered at the twenty four
16:40yard line.
16:41My goodness gracious what a
16:43hit.
16:45That's princely who man me
16:47Allen who just demolished
16:48him.
16:49We talked about the rookies for
16:50the Atlanta Falcons on the
16:51edges.
16:52Well man me Ellen's one of those
16:54special talents opposite of
16:57Nick sports and that you'll
16:58see today.
16:59Two more rookies that brought
17:01in to help get more pressure
17:02off the edge.
17:03They see him as a speed
17:04rusher and it was on full
17:06display on special teams.
17:07Yes it was.
17:11First down for Atlanta.
17:17Robinson falls off the play
17:19action panics down the middle
17:21Drake London.
17:22His first grab he was dealing
17:24with a sickness and a back
17:25issue.
17:26Robinson fell.
17:27Everything's all right.
17:28It's a first down Atlanta.
17:31And they're going to run
17:32Mooney through the middle of
17:33the defense is going to help
17:34clear a window and then it's
17:35just about Drake London
17:37elevating and high point that
17:39football.
17:42He sees nearly a third of the
17:45passes in this offense it's
17:47about thirty percent of the
17:48time he's targeted.
17:49He's got the first first down for
17:53Atlanta.
17:54Now Robinson looking for the
17:56left side.
17:57He's been bottled up the last
17:58four games during this losing
17:59streak and it's Wharton and
18:00Robinson that time.
18:05We talked about the
18:06predictability of the Falcons
18:07Russian attack and it's a lot
18:09of outside zone lot of zone
18:10blocking scheme in general
18:11you'd like to see them
18:12implement.
18:13But more man blocking gap
18:14blocking help mix up the
18:15looks so the defensive front
18:16can't get a beat on it.
18:19And it's also you saw I mean
18:20predictable personnel wise you
18:21have two stars like that why
18:23not use them.
18:24Penix down the middle London
18:26wide open.
18:29Inside the ten down to the
18:31five.
18:32Trayvon Merrick saved a
18:34touchdown but once again
18:36Atlanta loves the Drake.
18:38And if your defensive
18:39coordinator and Jero Avero
18:41you got to be pulling out
18:42your hair right now.
18:43But I'm not sure he's got
18:44any left.
18:45But you cannot drop Drake
18:48London allowed me this wide
18:49open.
18:50In your zone coverage.
18:54Unreal.
18:55Roaming three.
18:57It's Robinson.
18:59And he breaks two tackles.
19:01Oh my.
19:02What a rugged run that was.
19:04Absolutely incredible.
19:13During the run.
19:14Hope.
19:15He's number 99.
19:16And it'll stand and rightfully
19:20so.
19:21I mean just the power the
19:22determination.
19:23I mean it looked like he was
19:26completely stopped.
19:29A nice low center of gravity.
19:32It's Mike Jackson because he
19:33gets the first shot in at it
19:34but.
19:35Just doesn't give up.
19:37Travis Gibson was draped on his
19:39back.
19:41And it wasn't enough.
19:44So I got to keep feeding the
19:45man even when it's not there
19:46early.
19:47He's going to do something
19:48special.
19:49extra point is there.
20:00We're tied at seven.
20:01But John Robinson undeterred by
20:04multiple Panthers.
20:05Whether or not Drake London would
20:15play.
20:16He has in a big way already 71
20:18yards on a couple of catches.
20:20And the Falcons cruise into a
20:22second drive touchdown.
20:25That's about 60% of your
20:26offense if you're an Atlanta
20:27Falcons fan.
20:28And it's one of the reasons why
20:29you don't start off with a
20:30penalty and you find a way of
20:31working these two guys the
20:32ball.
20:33Good things are going to
20:34happen.
20:35And touch back will give
20:39Carolina the football Bryce
20:41Young and this offense on their
20:43opening drive seven and a
20:44half minutes he was seven.
20:45Four eight.
20:46What did you like from the drive
20:47from the young quarterback.
20:48He's on time and rhythm and
20:50really excels.
20:51At those little calm spot routes
20:52and the receiver pushes up
20:53finds that soft spot in his
20:54own coverage.
20:55And settles down and it really
20:56found that he's on time and
20:57rhythm and really excels at
20:58those little calm spot routes
20:59and the receiver pushes up
21:00finds that soft spot in his
21:01own coverage and settles down
21:03and it really found that
21:04niche for this.
21:05You'll see those throughout the
21:06course of the game first
21:07second down third down as well.
21:10I'd love to see them sort of
21:11try to take the top off of a
21:13defensive end.
21:14It's one of the things that's
21:15been lacking.
21:16It feels like there's a ceiling
21:17on this offense that it's
21:18ability to push the ball
21:19vertically downfield.
21:20Stevin seen a whole lot of deep
21:23shots percentage wise from this
21:25offense this year.
21:27Young on first down the play
21:29action for Dowdle.
21:30He'll go up top and McMillan
21:32once again.
21:33He had the touchdown.
21:34That's catch number three and a
21:36first down for Carolina and our
21:38first chance to check in for a
21:39game break with Carissa Thompson.
21:41Thank you so much Jason Giants
21:42Packers Jackson dart out with a
21:43concussion James Winston getting
21:45the start hands it off to Devin
21:47Singletary from five yards out
21:48Giants up early on the Packers
21:50seven nothing.
21:51Jason.
21:53Interesting Packers season two
21:55huh.
21:56They lose to Carolinas bounce back
21:57wins in there as well.
21:59Who knows.
22:00It's that time of the year too
22:01you'd like to be ascending
22:02starting to play your best
22:03football.
22:05Tucker crash injury.
22:06Yeah certainly does not help.
22:09Pitch it out.
22:10Etn.
22:11And he gets a yard and that's
22:14all Ronnie Harrison again with
22:16the hit second down coming up.
22:20Not seen Chuba Hubbard as yet
22:22but we expect to in this game
22:24along with Dowdle and Etn.
22:27Harrison in that linebacker room
22:29for Atlanta which has been
22:30thinned out pretty substantially
22:32this year.
22:33Still awaiting the return of
22:35Divide Diablo.
22:36Dowdle turned around and he'll
22:50end up with three first man in
22:52was Cantavia Street to slow him
22:54down a little bit and set up a
22:55third media game number 19 for
23:01Street with Atlanta activated
23:04this week as well.
23:05Lot of defensive injuries for this
23:07team.
23:08Lot of defensive injuries but
23:09they've been able to overcome
23:10it.
23:11In particular in past situations
23:13the amount of pressure they've
23:14been able to get.
23:18It is Dowdle in on third and
23:21six.
23:24Pressure shown.
23:29That was Bowman coming up to
23:30the line.
23:31Bryce Young a long opportunity to
23:34survey it.
23:35Pressure coming anyway it's
23:36Bowman.
23:37Everybody knew it was going to
23:38happen and he still spikes down
23:40Young.
23:41Bryce Young is down on the play.
23:46And hurt.
23:53It was an awkward fall for Bryce
23:55Young.
23:57Bowman.
23:58Came surging in and Bryce Young is
24:01down.
24:02Well he shows it early.
24:03Young sees it and he checks.
24:05Although there was clearly a
24:07miscommunication up front because
24:08he's still a free runner to hit
24:10Young.
24:12We'll check on Bryce Young when we
24:14come back.
24:18I get it.
24:22It's hard to change.
24:23Me.
24:24I'm pretty loyal.
24:25I've been on the same.
24:26Dad after the sack by Billy Bowman
24:28Brady.
24:29Yeah and it looks like the right
24:30guard here.
24:31Zavala.
24:32He's working down inside.
24:33Everything else is picked up.
24:34Young did check to pick that up.
24:35He saw the pressure.
24:37However something was not
24:38communicated in the sack.
24:39Now the injury.
24:40Sam Martin just barely got that
24:42punt off and a fair catch inside
24:45the nine for Agnew and it bounces
24:48out of bounds fortunately for him
24:50and Atlanta.
24:52Wow.
24:57This thing felt like it was
24:58hanging in the air forever and
24:59that you do have to wonder to
25:00with the roof open it's not very
25:03common.
25:04They open up here at Mercedes-Benz
25:05Stadium.
25:06That happened to play a role in
25:08pick up the football and securely
25:11catch it.
25:12Now 8% of the stadium feels like
25:14they're on Kawhi.
25:16The other 92% is in comfortable
25:18shape.
25:19We're in the 8%.
25:20Yeah.
25:21It's nice in the sun.
25:23A little hot.
25:24I think the three piece suit was a
25:26poor choice.
25:27Yeah you might be one piece too
25:29many.
25:33Not for me to judge.
25:34Right?
25:35That's right.
25:36First down for Atlanta.
25:38After the muck punt.
25:45Rose Grove up to the line and
25:47Penix will hand it to Robinson.
25:50And Bajan Robinson powers his way
25:52into Nick Scott.
25:53I mean if you're a secondary player
25:55and you're trying to fill a hole
25:57Bajan Robinson has something for
25:58you.
25:59Well and that's where it's tough
26:01sledding for those guys and I
26:02think when you talk to Zach
26:03Robinson the office coordinator
26:04for the Falcons they just feel
26:05like if they get the front
26:06blocked and Bajan Robinson gets
26:07to the second level he'll make
26:08things happen.
26:09He's tough to tackle in space.
26:10Let alone just try to bring him
26:11down as we saw in the last
26:12touchdown run.
26:13Let alone just try to bring him
26:14down as we saw in the last
26:15touchdown run.
26:22Motion London.
26:29Robinson again showing patience
26:31getting to the edge.
26:32Bajan Robinson.
26:36To the 29.
26:38And this is just all Bajan
26:40Robinson.
26:41This player was supposed to
26:42design to go to the front
26:43side and said he has the vision
26:45to see the backside and the
26:46huge game.
26:49Tied at seven after one in sunny
26:51Atlanta.
26:56People think the players who
26:58step on the field are the
26:59strongest.
27:00The toughest.
27:01The ones who never give up.
27:03But real strength.
27:04It's a coordinator.
27:05They know each other very well.
27:07One worked under the other.
27:08And that leads to like you
27:10think that I think that you
27:11think that you're going to do.
27:12We've seen both teams adjust so
27:16far.
27:18We're tied at seven after a
27:19quarter.
27:20Robinson the motion man.
27:22He absolutely surges through the
27:25hole.
27:26Off the hesitation.
27:27It'll be second down and short
27:29coming up.
27:30Well that's something that you
27:31don't use to see a lot of last
27:32year.
27:33Check out number eight Kyle Pitts the
27:34tight end.
27:35To be last year.
27:36You know they'd be running away
27:37from him.
27:38But he's improved so much in his
27:39run blocking now that he can be
27:41at the point of attack to much
27:42more balanced and talk about that
27:43cat and mouse game between his
27:45two staffs.
27:46It's one of the things that have
27:47been a tendency break.
27:48Robinson again pinballing for a
27:52first down.
27:53I mean how quickly do you become
27:55predictable in this league now
27:57Brady.
27:58Well you're predictable based on
27:59your personnel.
28:00When you present a defense with a
28:01lot of different options that
28:03they have to deal with it's
28:05pretty easy then to hide what
28:06you're trying to attempt to do
28:07or work in those different
28:08matchups.
28:09But.
28:10We got a few guys who are
28:11pitching in.
28:12We're going to make sure your
28:13execution is up and you're
28:14doing different things to help
28:15get those guys to football.
28:19London.
28:20The motion man we've only seen
28:21Robinson so far.
28:23No Algier as yet.
28:25Penix coming this way.
28:26He's got it for Mooney across
28:28the 40.
28:30Couple of looks to Mooney early
28:31on from Penix.
28:32And talking to Zach Robinson the
28:33offensive corner he just said we
28:34just got to get him and Mike on
28:36the same page.
28:37He was a broken collarbone and
28:39he was dealing with a hamstring
28:41and they never really feel like
28:42Mooney's got into a rhythm.
28:44You know struggling to develop
28:45that chemistry but they feel
28:46like with one breakout game that
28:47could really open things up and
28:49add another element to this
28:50offense.
28:52Only one catch each of the last
28:54three weeks for Mooney the
28:55former Chicago bear.
28:57Pete Robinson on the cut back
29:00and he'll take his four or so
29:03second down coming up.
29:04So if you're just going to
29:05start coming up.
29:06So if you're Zach Robinson what's
29:07the next horizon for this
29:08offense.
29:10Well it's continuing to evolve
29:11and I think you evolve with
29:12Michael Penix.
29:13He's only got not even a full
29:15season of started under his
29:16belt.
29:17And so your offense is going to
29:18go as he goes.
29:19And you know one of the things
29:20you see often is B. John
29:21Robinson behind him in the
29:22shotgun.
29:23That's called pistol.
29:24And that's something that
29:25they've worked to a lot
29:26purely because the comfort of
29:27Michael Penix playing for
29:28me.
29:29About half the time they're in
29:30that pistol set as Penix
29:32unloads for London who is very
29:34close to the line to gain.
29:36And there's been some
29:37criticism sort of you know
29:38saying that hey that's more of
29:39a college style system or
29:40offense to put the running
29:41back that far back but they do
29:43feel like they want to feed to
29:44the confidence of Michael
29:45Penix what he feels comfortable
29:46doing.
29:47And they built their offense out
29:48of it.
29:49And it actually helps in some of
29:50the outside zone running
29:51getting the ball into B. John
29:52Robinson's hand soon.
29:55See if it's Robinson here on
29:56third and one.
30:08It is.
30:09And it's very close.
30:12Let's see.
30:14He's going to be short.
30:15There is a marker down at the
30:17twenty seven.
30:24Here in the run.
30:25Holding.
30:26Defense number ninety seven.
30:28Five yard penalty.
30:30Automatic first down.
30:31That's a second holding
30:32against the Panthers
30:33defensive line today.
30:36There's number ninety seven
30:37in the middle of.
30:39The defense.
30:41And you really try to create
30:42a scene for your linebacker.
30:44There number.
30:46Fifty three.
30:47Clodden.
30:48Cheryl is.
30:49We're trying to allow him to
30:50be able to be a free runner to
30:51get through and get the stop.
30:52But instead.
30:53I'm getting called for holding.
30:54Cheryl is in for the injured
30:56Trevin Wallace today which.
30:59Shifts the linebacker room for
31:00Carolina.
31:05Now two backs Robinson and
31:06Algier.
31:07Algier.
31:08We expected to see a little bit
31:09more of that today.
31:10And it's Robinson out of the
31:11backfield swinging wide to him.
31:13And Bajon Robinson breaking
31:15tackles again into Roseboom.
31:16Their leading tackler first.
31:18But that's another dimension and
31:21another tentacle here for the
31:22Atlanta offense.
31:23And that's a credit to Tyler
31:24Algier and how they feel about
31:26him.
31:27You know wanting to get both
31:28backs on the field even though
31:29Bajon is.
31:30The back they're highlighting.
31:31They feel like they're too good
31:32to have one sitting on the
31:33sideline.
31:35He's on Robinson takes a break.
31:38Algier has been such a
31:39touchdown maker the former BYU
31:41linebacker for a time.
31:52On second down first touch for
31:54Algier fresh.
31:55Off the sideline and stepping
31:56through tacklers there is a
31:57marker down all the way down.
31:59All the way back of the 21 and
32:01then a second comes flying in
32:02from the back side of the play
32:03as well.
32:04So we'll see these are two
32:05distinct fouls it looks like.
32:10One in the backfield is going
32:11to be a holding.
32:13I'm sure I saw on the back
32:15judge what he was throwing the
32:16flag in for.
32:21Clay Martin will rifle through
32:23it all.
32:24There are two fouls on the
32:25play both by the offense.
32:27Illegal block in the back.
32:28Number eleven that penalty is
32:30declined.
32:31Holding.
32:32Number eight.
32:33Card penalty.
32:34Replay second down.
32:37We just were given Kyle Pitts
32:39credit for the improved blocking.
32:41However in this case gets called
32:43for the holding.
32:44Still work in progress.
32:45See on the right side of your
32:46screen is holding.
32:48Nick Scorton.
32:49And you see the the number is a
32:51little bit of like a jagged
32:52font on the Falcons jerseys.
32:54They just called it on Jalen
32:55Walker.
32:56I believe 71 rather than 11.
33:00Would be my guess that that's
33:02correct.
33:05Big font guy.
33:06Grady Quinn second down and 14.
33:08For Atlanta.
33:11Sent some frustration from your
33:12college games at all.
33:17Penix.
33:18To Algier.
33:19And he is stonewalled at the 24.
33:23Merrick got enough of him to slow
33:25him down.
33:26And it's third down as Cheryl has
33:27finished the deal.
33:28And Trevon Merrick is something
33:30special in this Panthers defense.
33:31You know the way they utilize him.
33:33You'll see him at the linebacker
33:34level.
33:35Safety.
33:36He'll be over the slot at
33:37Nickelback.
33:38Such a sure tackler.
33:40Good against stopping the run.
33:41He's good in coverage.
33:42Does everything well.
33:44When you talk to a Jaro
33:45Aveiro and he says this is the
33:46chess piece within our defense.
33:48Allows us to do a lot of
33:49different things.
33:51Merrick has been so important to
33:53this defense behind the line of
33:54scrimmage.
33:56There in the open field the
33:57former Raider at least gummed it
33:59up.
34:00It's third and ten.
34:02Tenth play of the drive for
34:03Atlanta.
34:04Penix has loads of time.
34:06He'll sling it far side for a
34:07first down to Mooney.
34:09And a tough catch.
34:11Against multiple cats.
34:15Well this is what we were
34:16talking about too.
34:17Trying to find a way of getting
34:18Darnell Mooney going.
34:20It's twice now.
34:21He's going to release up.
34:23Find that soft spot in the
34:24cover six.
34:25Big hit from Corey Thornton.
34:26Still hangs on to the football.
34:29He made the case.
34:33He's defenseless in that
34:34position the way Thornton hit
34:35him.
34:36Should be a little bit more
34:37there.
34:38I mean year two in Chicago.
34:39Darnell Mooney had 81 catches.
34:41He was a breakout star for the
34:42Bears that year trying to get
34:44back to numbers in that
34:46stratosphere.
34:47Panics on a screen.
34:48It's Robinson had to wait for a
34:49second.
34:50And Robinson down to the two.
34:53Wow.
34:55And just the way he punished
34:56Merrick at the end of this run.
34:59This thing probably scores if
35:00Kyle Hinton can cover up his
35:02block on the outside.
35:04Great play call.
35:05The perfect coverage.
35:07Watch the end.
35:08After that symbol crash first and
35:18goal.
35:19Atlanta they'll feed him down to the
35:21one.
35:25And that's all Turk Wharton.
35:26Derrick Brown.
35:28Carolina Panthers defense bowing up.
35:31On that play.
35:38It's good to see Derrick Brown back
35:39this season healthy and.
35:41And the first matchup wasn't quite
35:42a hundred percent but.
35:44He's playing that way now.
35:46Grew up a.
35:47Falcons fan.
35:49Atlanta here goes to Robinson and an
35:52easy touchdown.
35:54For the powerhouse.
35:56Bishon Robinson.
36:04We talked about it.
36:05See I was in the pistol formation.
36:06Watch the cut back.
36:07They get the ball to him sooner.
36:09He is able to see the lane.
36:12When nothing's there on the front
36:13side and that's part of the
36:15reason for this pistol formation.
36:17The outside zone the effectiveness
36:18of it.
36:20That extra split second.
36:22Does what for running backs you
36:23think Brady.
36:25It does everything.
36:26I mean it's like having an extra
36:27half second the pocket throwing
36:28the football to and decision
36:29make for the quarterback.
36:32Check on the injured Carolina
36:33Panther when we come back.
36:40The Chevy Equinox is more.
36:42A&M the sack leader in a tie at
36:43the top of the.
36:44Panthers stat sheet.
36:47Big piece of this team is getting
36:48better and better week to week
36:49but.
36:51Atlanta in with Bajon Robinson.
36:54They get 13 to seven extra point
36:56pending.
36:57Sporting was having a great week
36:58after.
36:59Well at least a good half of the
37:00weekend after A&M came back.
37:03Yesterday against South Carolina.
37:04Keeping their national championship
37:06hopes and playoff hopes.
37:08Still alive.
37:10This Purdue folks might have an
37:11issue with.
37:12You're getting so much credit
37:13Texas A&M.
37:14That's true.
37:15That's true.
37:16I just wanted to try to get our
37:17big new money's worth.
37:18I don't even know how to handle
37:19that with these new kids coming
37:20in the league now.
37:21The players so many different
37:22places.
37:23They just list them all off.
37:26As we did as a collective.
37:27Very nice.
37:28Zane Gonzalez.
37:31The new kicker last week for
37:32Atlanta.
37:33It's been something of a mess
37:34kicking wise for the Falcons.
37:36This year 14 to seven Falcons
37:39and now.
37:40These messages.
37:44Level upper slices and sticks
37:45for me 6.99.
37:46I get Call of Duty Black Ops
37:47seven rewards.
37:48Ha ha.
37:49Feel my wrath.
37:50Nobody games ideal dear.
37:51Get slices and sticks and Call of
37:53Duty in game rewards.
37:54Little Caesars is the real deal.
37:55Pizza pizza.
37:56Lowe's knows.
37:57Tackling projects now means you
37:58can football Sunday.
37:59We need a new fridge.
38:00This one has craft ice on
38:01demand.
38:02More ice than me.
38:03Four kinds of ice actually.
38:04Gonna need a bigger bucket.
38:06Like this one.
38:08Do you always have two bucket
38:09chains?
38:10I do.
38:13So the year the Panthers
38:14drafted Cam Newton in the
38:15first round.
38:16The Bengals drafted a quarterback
38:17in the second round.
38:19By the name of Andy Dalton.
38:20That's right.
38:21He's now going to be the
38:22quarterback for Carolina 14
38:24years after that.
38:25In game number one hundred and
38:28eighty of his NFL career
38:30because of the injury last
38:31drive for Bryce Young.
38:32And he's already filled in.
38:33You know once this season for
38:34Bryce.
38:35Here's the injury Billy Bowman
38:36again off the edge.
38:37Free runner.
38:38Hard to tell.
38:39Don't want to speculate what
38:40the injury is but Young left
38:41the field when the tunnel is
38:42questionable to return at
38:43this point.
38:44Now he's back out.
38:45Well he's now a hundred percent
38:46to be on the sideline but
38:47questionable.
38:48I see what you're saying.
38:49Questionable comeback in the
38:50game and he is such a huge
38:51part of this Carolina offense.
38:52This goes rolling through the
38:53end zone.
38:54And let's see.
38:55Bryce Young has some hop in his
38:56step.
38:57He's coming back into this game.
38:58Well and the telltale sign was
38:59Andy Dalton who had his helmet
39:00on.
39:01He goes over takes it off and
39:02high fives a couple guys.
39:03So I'm not sure if he was
39:04relieved.
39:05He doesn't have to go back in
39:06or.
39:07How about that.
39:08Andy Dalton in year number 15.
39:23We'll have to watch the drive
39:25on the side but like look he
39:26wants Bryce Young for the team's
39:27sake of course to play.
39:28And he filled in earlier this
39:29season when Bryce was doing
39:30with an ankle injury and quite
39:31frankly you know he's been
39:33dealing with it.
39:34He's been dealing with it.
39:35He's been dealing with it.
39:37He's been dealing with.
39:38You know some some little
39:40minor things throughout the
39:41course of the season.
39:42So Bryce Young is back and
39:44Carolina has it.
39:45From the 20.
39:46In and checking at the line.
39:55Dowdle on a first down carry
39:58he gets three and there's a
39:59marker in back at the 17.
40:02holding.
40:03Offense number 62.
40:05Five yard penalty.
40:06Excuse me.
40:07Ten yard penalty.
40:08First down.
40:10St. Carolina was.
40:12Excited about that holding
40:14call.
40:15Yeah you we have to take your
40:16first answer is what they were
40:17saying.
40:18You're going to see Zavala at
40:19right guard.
40:21Talked about the last series
40:23when Young was the free runner
40:24got hit.
40:25Probably needed to pick up
40:26Bowman.
40:27In that case just getting his
40:28hands to the outside.
40:29Gets caught.
40:30Good to see Bryce Young back in
40:34his game for Carolina off that
40:36ball.
40:37Eight different offensive line
40:38starting combinations this
40:39season though for Carolina.
40:40It's been a.
40:41A bit of musical chairs.
40:44Blake locked down to three.
40:45They got to go here.
40:46He wants the ball.
40:47And they didn't get it off.
40:48And he was hammering his hands
40:50together clapping.
40:51For the snap.
40:52And he never got it in time.
40:53Offense number 17.
40:54Five yard penalty.
40:55First down.
40:56It's on.
40:57We get on the false start.
40:59And they give you every benefit
41:14of the doubt of that last
41:15second.
41:16To snap the football.
41:17There is a bit of a delay
41:18between the play clock.
41:19Yep.
41:20The lead the lead way you're
41:21given but in that case it's
41:22called on the get.
41:27First and forever.
41:29First and twenty five.
41:34As loud as it's been on defense
41:36for Atlanta.
41:37Here today.
41:41Give it to Dowdle covering up
41:43the football as he saw the
41:44oncoming Jalen Walker.
41:47It'll be second down.
41:49To go back to that first
41:50scoring drive of the day.
41:52Nine passes three rushes.
41:55Carolina's very aware of Atlanta
41:57wanting to stop the run and
41:58take away Dowdle.
41:59Get back to some of the spot
42:01routes in those easy pitches
42:03and catches that we saw in that
42:04first opening drive.
42:05They're going empty here.
42:07Bryce Young still.
42:08Only the one in completion.
42:09The penalty is.
42:10Really hurt.
42:11This drive the pair of them.
42:13Bowman fades back.
42:16Atlanta rushes only three and
42:17Young just spins it out of
42:18balance.
42:22They got at least a little heat.
42:24That time.
42:25On second down.
42:26Well and that's part of the
42:27reason why you draft guys like
42:28Jalen Walker.
42:30James Pierce.
42:31You'd like to go just rush
42:32forward to get pressure with
42:33those guys.
42:34And then.
42:35Provide a bunch of
42:36variations of coverages.
42:37Man zone.
42:38Mix those looks up.
42:39I was able to do that.
42:40It's one of the reasons why
42:41the pass defense has been so
42:42much improved.
42:43This season.
42:44Biggest improvement in pass
42:45guards allowed.
42:46In the NFL.
42:47Drop it off for Sanders a
42:48tight end with a hurdle.
42:49And.
42:50And.
42:51And.
42:52And.
42:53And.
42:54And.
42:55And.
42:56And.
42:57And.
42:58And.
42:59And.
43:00And.
43:01And.
43:02A.
43:03And.
43:07And.
43:08And.
43:09That gets submarine by Bowman
43:10who's had.
43:11A whale of a first half for
43:12Atlanta.
43:14Kobe Bryant too.
43:15Just got activated and
43:16brought up.
43:17As well.
43:18The rookie out of Kansas.
43:22Just trying to add yards
43:23under the punt at this point.
43:25Bl 무엇 in their first
43:26Bowman as well.
43:27Everyone swore into the
43:28football.
43:29Kobe Bryant has a ball of
43:30energy.
43:31having seen him in Kansas he is
43:34thrilled to be on the field
43:36finally the rookie for Atlanta
43:40Martin to punt from the end zone
43:42he does get it away Agnew the
43:44month the previous one watches
43:46this roll out of bounds and
43:49Atlanta will have the ball not
43:51far away from midfield when we
43:54come back Bryce Young back the
43:57Panthers trailing by seven
44:01guys let's go boys one thing
44:05back to Mercedes Benz Stadium
44:08nailed it thank you that's on a
44:10card if you can believe that you
44:11need an oxygen tank for all this
44:13heavy lifting after all those
44:14words on the card it's it's
44:16exhausting Kate Nellis over on the
44:19sideline Jamie Bertrand boy Kate
44:22Nellis is quite the personality
44:24you can tell he loves football
44:26loves the whole team dynamic of a
44:28dad a tremendous player in the
44:30football team and the Falcons
44:32offense has it and Robinson once
44:34again he has been a dynamo today
44:36it's 11 on a first down carry to
44:37move the sticks Drake London gets a
44:38lot of credit for what he is as a
44:39wide receiver catching the
44:40football it's the little things to
44:41me though he was at the point of
44:42attack here on the front side
44:44blocking Trayvon Mary and it
44:46helps allow Robinson again to get
44:48to get to the second level and
44:50that's where he becomes special
44:51just 84 on the ground last week
44:53for it to John Robinson who again
44:55early in the year was mammoth for
44:56this offense teams have been
44:57loading the box more against him
44:58they're five to go in this first half
45:12right back there right up the zipper
45:13and he's got four to set up second
45:15down why change I mean if you go
45:20And he's got four to set up second down.
45:24Why change?
45:25I mean, if you go back to the struggles of the Falcons on third down,
45:28a lot of it's been, they've been third and long.
45:30And that really comes back to lack of success on first and second down.
45:36Staying off track.
45:4029%, 29th they should say in the NFL, they see you're 33% on third down.
45:46Last three weeks, though, they're like one for every 10.
45:50On third down.
45:55Second and six.
45:57Robinson, oh, what a sidestown.
46:00That is just a nasty cut by Bajon Robinson to set up a third down and manageable.
46:06Man Mielan got a face full of it.
46:08He thought he had him dead the rights.
46:10Take a look here.
46:11And just the start-stop ability of Bajon Robinson,
46:14there's so many things that make him special.
46:15Right there, a little jump cut past him.
46:17I mean, he turns what would have been a negative play, should have been a negative play,
46:22into now a third and short scenario.
46:25And again, even four down territory if they don't get this.
46:27So, 29th in the NFL, as we talked about, third and long has been a mess.
46:36They're like 16% on third and seven-plus.
46:39So, that extra couple of yards you talked about, so important,
46:42and that was not what it's supposed to look like.
46:45163, five-yard penalty, third down.
46:49I thought we were going to have one of those calls from Clay Martin
46:52that there are rips of on YouTube that say,
46:55false start, everyone but the center.
46:59In that case, unfortunately, Chris Lindstrom ends up being the one called for.
47:03But, again, going back to their struggles,
47:06these are the sorts of things that add up.
47:07People want to know what's been their struggle during the four-game losing streak.
47:10But third down's been a big piece of it.
47:12There's been drops.
47:13There's been lack of protection.
47:15There's been poor play, lack of, you know, penics delivering.
47:19Penalties as well.
47:20But now you're in one of those third and long situations,
47:23and it completely changes the playbook as London was in motion.
47:26It'll go to Drake London, and with a soft opportunity in front of him,
47:31he ends up getting the first down to the 37.
47:36He took a big hit from Sheryliss and Roseboom,
47:39but, man, soft coverage from Carolina
47:41who plays as much zone as anybody in the league.
47:44We still have to respect Mooney,
47:47who's caught a couple of balls now in the deeper zone coverage,
47:50and London finds a soft spot.
47:52Man, his leg got bent up there.
47:56He's already dealing with some back issues this week.
48:01See, Roseboom just wrapped that right leg in there.
48:04Nowhere to go for London's back.
48:10And we get a whistle before the snap.
48:12It's going to be a timeout Atlanta at 2-0-6.
48:19Let's get a little chippy down there.
48:20David Sills and Mike Jackson were probably exchanging addresses maybe for Thanksgiving or the holidays.
48:29Do you think that's what it is?
48:30You think that's what it is?
48:30Right to the snap.
48:32Atlanta calls their first time out.
48:3430 seconds.
48:36Yeah, the announcement in stadium was that there was a penalty,
48:39and they're going to talk to Drake London over on the sideline there.
48:42But it was a timeout for Atlanta.
48:46They start your Saturday strong with Big Noon Saturday.
48:49All the three-piece suits you need.
48:51No margin for error.
48:52Top-ranked Ohio State takes on Rutgers.
48:55Big Noon kickoff 10 a.m. Eastern, then Rutgers, Ohio State, only on Fox.
48:59There is no better way than to start your Saturday with the smiling face to my right, Brady Quinn.
49:05Thanks, Jason.
49:06This whole crew.
49:07Really appreciate that.
49:08And what do you got in store?
49:09I know you've probably got a three-piece suit based on what you just said there, yeah.
49:11I meant content-wise, but, you know.
49:14Football.
49:15College football.
49:15I like it.
49:16By the way, you saw Raheem Morris talking to Drake London after that tackle.
49:19Things got a bit heated.
49:20That was one of the reasons why Sills and Mike Jackson were also having some words.
49:28See if everything settles down in this divisional matchup.
49:32Penix, a little play action.
49:34He'll spin it wide for London, and that's way too tall.
49:37You'd have to be Big Ben to haul that.
49:40And there is a marker down, though.
49:41At the 23, did he get caught up in the works?
49:51And that's a throw, by the way, if you're Penix.
49:52You've got to hit.
49:53You had London.
49:54You had Sills coming across.
49:56Hands, hands to the face.
49:58Defense number seven.
49:59They get Merrick.
50:03But he fortunately got bailed out if you're a Falcons fan.
50:07So we'll take another look.
50:11Merrick's going to grab.
50:16And this is, again, there's fighting after the whistle and there's fighting during the whistle.
50:21And that's one of those you wonder if the emotions of in the tackle a couple plays ago, Sills and Mike Jackson getting into it.
50:29Obviously, things are heated, divisional opponents.
50:32Both these teams know what's on the line.
50:33Neither can afford to lose, given their current record.
50:36Atlanta, three and six, Carolina, five and five, second place in the NFC South.
50:41They'll go Robinson before the two-minute warning.
50:43And he skates through the hole.
50:44He sees it so well.
50:46Man, oh, man.
50:46It's a gain of eight.
50:48And he wanted to go all the way is why he's frustrated.
50:51Roseboom knocked him down.
50:53But Atlanta is driving.
50:55Hey, Copilot.
51:05Gia climbed up to one of those linebackers, but instead just continued to keep pushing, allowing Bichon to find the cutback.
51:14But he's always getting double-teamed, getting a lot of attention, especially as well as he's played.
51:18There's not many defensive tackles that are as productive as Derrick Brown is.
51:22He's a tackling machine.
51:23And batting passes as well at the line.
51:26His hands are great.
51:29He told us earlier this week his first jersey ever was a Mike Vick jersey.
51:35Yeah.
51:35Well, he told us not to let that get out, so we're in trouble with Derrick Brown now, Jason.
51:39Oh, boy.
51:40We'll get to see it.
51:42Second down and two.
51:43I missed that part of the conversation.
51:45Penix to throw.
51:48And London somehow reels it in with a marker flying as well.
51:53Just incredible.
51:56They're going to get Corey Thornton on what looked to be holding, maybe even P.I., but the fact this ball gets out of Michael Penix's hands.
52:03Nick Scorton was right there about to tip his football.
52:05Before the pass was thrown, holding.
52:06Defense number 31.
52:08Remember, that's the rookie out of Louisville, Corey Thornton, who's in for Shaw Smith-Wade at that nickel position.
52:20Incredible concentration.
52:21Strong hands.
52:24Taking a hit as he's going to the ground, completing possession of the football.
52:33So Thornton will come out.
52:35Goal line package here for Atlanta.
52:37Well, we'll see what the subs look like.
52:43Some conversation about who should be on the field.
52:49So they're going to split Robinson out wide.
52:53Goal line.
52:53Goal line.
52:54You got Derek.
52:55You got Derek.
52:56Ready?
52:57Attack.
52:58Wonderful.
53:00Penix.
53:00First down roll.
53:01Going to his right.
53:02The lefty has to fade back and toss it out of bounds.
53:06It'll be second and goal.
53:08Robinson and Wharton provided the pressure almost immediately.
53:13And there is a marker down in the end zone as well.
53:18Before the pass was thrown, holding.
53:21Defense number eight.
53:22After this is to the goal.
53:24Automatic first down.
53:25This is the second least penalized defense in the NFL coming into today, Carolina.
53:32A lot of laundry, though, so far this first half.
53:34That last play with Charlie Horne in the backfield, the tight end.
53:40We figure it's not going to be a run.
53:43It's London working against Horne.
53:47I'll be honest, I've seen worse.
