00:00What did Mike Kafka say about his decision to finally fire Shane Bowen?

00:04And who did Kafka say is now going to call plays on defense?

00:09The timing for Bowen, Kafka said he didn't want to make any rash decisions

00:14when he took over two weeks ago as their interim head coach.

00:18Obviously, things haven't changed.

00:20He spent a lot of time around the defense.

00:22The results just aren't changing.

00:24It's the same game every week.

00:25So Kafka said he felt like now was the right time to make the decision,

00:30and especially with an extra day to prepare for the Patriots since they play on Monday night.

00:35And then obviously they'll have two weeks after that to get the house in order

00:38because they have a bye.

00:40It'll be Charlie Bowen, the outside linebacker coach,

00:43which is an interesting choice, praised by his players quite often,

00:48but not as familiar with Kafka as some of the other assistants

00:52who have been here longer than Charlie Bowen,

00:54a second-year guy and not the play-calling experience

00:58that Marquand Manuel has as a former Falcons defensive coordinator.

01:02So interesting choice by Mike Kafka.
