00:00it is dukes and bell guy talks on the way um we have been discussing and look i have no
00:07idea what
00:07the hell mr voice is going to say i told you guys earlier he literally threatened to stop
00:11stop doing these uh countdowns because i was like what happened he's like people were reaching out
00:15and saying nasty things to him after last week but i said to mike you know with michael penix
00:20and i'll get back into this at five o'clock we're a week out if penix is a hundred percent
00:25which i
00:25hope he is put the video out do it on your insta can he be trusted and just say hey
00:31i'm ready falcon
00:33fans rise up let's go you know what what kind of reaction that would get mike and i'm not saying
00:40he's going to i would love to see that but i think we're probably gonna have to wait to the
00:45first day
00:46of camp you're not gonna get that you ain't gonna get it why because he's because what i don't think
00:50the falcons want him to do 900 because maybe he's not going to be ready into the middle of camp
00:56you
00:56know i mean we don't we don't know i don't know listeners don't know only guy that knows is mike
01:01and look mike's what do you think is mike saying i'm gonna be ready i'm gonna be ready you know
01:04zach clinton i'm gonna be ready let us know but you carl you as day day preaches you've got to
01:09have
01:10patience really with this situation yeah you got it just we're six days is it six days six days
01:18i don't even know how many days now i've lost count uh what i do know is our rookies report
01:23friday and then the vets next week and then mike we're we're at practice was it wednesday
01:30thursday when it was thursday thursday so thursday yeah man i mean like that's that's
01:36carl in the words of george michael you got to have faith oh i got faith i just i don't
01:41know about
01:41the patience hey man how faith how dangerous and explosive is this passing game how dangerous
01:47bangkok dangerous because zachari branch said drake sets the standard for the wide receiving
01:52room drake's got his new deal but we'll kick in until next year i mean i don't want to overplay
01:56that it's deserved and he's going to get his money but how dangerous and explosive can it be that
02:02mike have we been dangerous and explosive since julio and roddy no i mean drake drake is dangerous
02:08in and of himself you know compare combine with pits you know i mean unfortunately we never got to
02:12see drake with calvin ridley because they had to go get drake because of calvin ridley that's right
02:16you know and it's just it's a darn shame we've had some amazing athletic receivers in here
02:19drake is is so physical don't know what john dodson's going to be i'm really excited about
02:24again another abe argument i mean the whole show was an argument but abe like i'm not so sold on
02:28zachariah branch of course you're not why a little bit softer now a little bit softer now why is he
02:35not
02:35sold on i don't know i i don't know what did zachariah branch do to abe maybe abe would say
02:40that's not
02:40what i said well whatever abe said he was like lukewarm on how he's going to be integrated into the
02:44offense i'm like all right fine but either way yeah i'm excited about zachari branch and like as
02:49we i think we all agree nobody knows jack about john dodson so whatever you get from him is going
02:53to be gravy because he did he got drafted by washington never panned out and then he was so
02:57deep on the depth chart with philly whatever numbers he got was okay but he's certainly athletic
03:02and he's you know he's a guy that was good enough to be a first round pick but is he
03:06going to recapture
03:06some of that magic here yeah and look it's a good question i i like the signing they gave him
03:11a two-year
03:12deal i think you know when you talk about the money involved mike comparative to other guys
03:17he got a decent deal considering what this team needs and and you know he was one of the first
03:24signings sometimes that's a that's that's a tale right right we need help in this room we need some
03:30other dudes uh and so i'm with you i i think johan dodson is going to be better than expected
03:36but what's that mean like you know guys are asking me is that a thousand yard receiver that i can't
03:41i i think that'd be well i tell you what if he is a thousand yard receiver we're having a
03:45hell of a
03:45season we're on to something no i mean and alamone is a key is guys the the ever understand even
03:50though
03:50these names maybe aren't as impressive that's still better than how bad the wide receiver was last
03:54year oh yeah casey washington got cut you had guys like blair and all these guys have been hanging
03:58around on practice squad for years they're just not that good they had opportunities they were either
04:02inconsistent or not good at all you know i mean look ray ray that thing that ship sailed they got
04:07sideways darnell mooney was a buster he went back to being what he was an injured off injured bear
04:11before we signed him on that extension so he's never got no we raised the floor of of this room
04:16but i think zachariah branch to me can be the secret sauce i think again on paper if we get
04:21reliable quarterback play you you think now certainly zach robinson couldn't create the
04:26mismatches we expected but i think stefanski will yeah um it's one of the big questions and while we
04:31say dangerous and explosive that that's that's a word that that we'll probably use all season long
04:36because we need more explosive plays down the field specifically in the passing game
04:39404-726-0929 as we gear up for falcons training camp and again we will be there every day and
04:46covering the falcons like nobody else guys give you the latest on all the things and uh all these
04:52these battles that we're talking about there's only a couple the defensive thing mike we got some
04:58i want to say battles like avion like av you know i still think he's going to be on the
05:03field he's a
05:03first round pick but we got some don't know what he's going to be though because he's a different type
05:07of player than his brother no he is he is but he uh he gives us some options with with
05:11the nickel and
05:11all of that so there's some things there once billy bowman comes back and that's another guy
05:14i mean as much as we're talking about michael pennix billy bowman was balling last year guys
05:18um and i think he upgrades your secondary if he's ability you know if he's if he's back and on
05:24time
05:24and on schedule but those are things we'll figure out here over the next week or so and hopefully get
05:28updates as we get up there but we will be there every single day and the days we're not just
05:32we'll keep
05:33you updated but mike and i were talking about this um we'll be at you know various locations and we're
05:38inviting you to come out and join us uh we'd love to tell you we'll be at the tajma hooters
05:41which is
05:42up there in buford every day but that's not going to be the case every day because the practice times
05:46have changed this year and so you need to listen and make sure you're tuned in to 92.9 the
05:51game so
05:51you know where we're going to be right we're going to have that big stage set up for the fans
05:54coming by
05:55going to be a lot of fun man like can't wait just cannot wait to see the quarterback battle can't
05:58wait to see
05:59some of these new faces uh again everything and guys ask us almost every day on the text line about
06:03it sure sounds like the nfl has no ruling coming down the pike on james pierce jr if the falcons
06:08are
06:08aware of it they're keeping it close to the vest we're of the opinion there isn't so expect to see
06:13james pierce jr next wednesday yeah i hadn't shared this but uh his trainer and we had him on the
06:19show
06:19my couple of maybe last year yes he's training hard he's preparing for the upcoming season as if he
06:28will be there week one now i do not know if he will be but i'm just telling you behind
06:32the scenes
06:33jpj is getting it in and that is great news for us because you know i think most people assume
06:40mike
06:40that's what's going on but he is actually working hard and working on pass rush moves and all the
06:45things that he needs to get better at so i do know that as far as the falcons in the
06:49nfl don't know a
06:50damn thing i have no idea i'm with you on that and let's just hope he's there because for me
06:54i the
06:55punishment and the crime and and the things that he's dealing with on that side of mike that's
06:59going to handle itself as a fan i want this dude on the field because i know how he affects
07:03the game
07:03right look we've talked about this the optics again we're not going to rehash it it is what it is
07:08it
07:08yeah it was crazy he lost his damn mind hopefully he's getting his head right and he'll let that
07:12thing something like that will never ever happen again but yeah i mean if you believe in one strike
07:17you're out then you don't want to see him on the field i don't think the world should work that
07:19way
07:19but he but he doesn't have any margin for error on the flip side no not at all all right
07:23buddy what do we have
07:24coming up in guy talk all right man uh guess who got an a minus on their off season from
07:30espn
07:32all right now you got me curious i'll tell you about that also that's i'm trying to i'm trying
07:36to study from the tease master you are the tease master he got me curious draymond likes one of the
07:40moves we made uh also guys um today what the hell is going on on the highway man it was
07:45just
