Jamie UyeyamaHOST
It really is.
Jamie UyeyamaHOST
Cause that was Xavier Watts, right? That was JD Bertrand, right? That's what it, and it flows down, right? It's Howard cross, Raleigh mills like that.
Jamie UyeyamaHOST
It flows down to everybody.
Jamie UyeyamaHOST
That's how it works.
Kevin KnightHOST
And again, not meaning to slander Tua Tungavailoa, but if you watch any game from Tua last year that wasn't the Falcons game, you know, that was Tua's best game of the season.
Kevin KnightHOST
But they were just picking on JD Bertrand all game, essentially.
Kevin KnightHOST
By the way, JD, get healthy soon.
Kevin KnightHOST
I saw JD Bertrand was put on IR.
Kevin KnightHOST
Sincerely hope that he is able to recover quickly.
Kevin KnightHOST
And, you know, congratulations to Bertrand for making the roster, honestly.
Kevin KnightHOST
I think, I think Kendall Daniels looked really good.
Kevin KnightHOST
He's obviously like a giant, uh, um linebacker too like looks like a looks like an old school dumper plays like a safety so you know it's a little bit of a creative uh interesting prospect there but it seems like the early returns on that pick which a lot of people thought it's a big reach um you know we'll see christian harris imagine going from jd bertrand which like jd bertrand get well soon he's he's on ir this is not meant to to totally slander JD Bertrand here, but imagine going from JD Bertrand as your third linebacker to Christian Harris.
Kevin KnightHOST
It's like, wow, that's, that's a big change.
Kevin KnightHOST
That's, that's like a very meaningful change.
Ricky RoderickHOST
It became a third Daniels went off the field so it sure feels like there'll be a platoon next to Diablo when Diablo is healthy of Daniels and Perkins which won't be great for either one to start the year Christian Harris was a clear number four on this so he was not in part of the boop boop boop in and out yeah that's the technical term by the way this boop boop boop in and out stuff and so Harris is number four.
Ricky RoderickHOST
JD Bertrand got put on IR today, or maybe it was late yesterday, but Bertrand went to IR.
Ricky RoderickHOST
They claim Yasser Abdul off of waivers from the Jags.
Ricky RoderickHOST
If Abdul is playing, they're probably in real trouble at that point.
Ricky RoderickHOST
And so Harris is number four.
Ricky RoderickHOST
JD Bertrand got put on IR today, or maybe it was late yesterday, but Bertrand went to IR.
Ricky RoderickHOST
They claim Yasser Abdullah off of waivers from the Jags.
Ricky RoderickHOST
If Abdullah's playing, they're probably in real trouble at that point.
Aaron FreemanHOST
But At the same time, you don't want to rent a guy for one year using a fifth-round pick to rent a guy for one year, right? Because a fifth-round pick, even though the odds of finding a starter there are low, the normal expectation for a fifth-round pick is you're going to get a multi-year contributor for your football team, right? If you just look at the Falcons' last five fifth-round picks, so that would be J.D.
Aaron FreemanHOST
Bertrand, Tyler Algier, Taquan Graham, Avery Williams, and Addy Ogundeji.
Aaron FreemanHOST
they have averaged playing 45 games for the Atlanta Falcons across their rookie seasons or across their times in Atlanta.
Aaron FreemanHOST
So that's a little shy of three years.
Tre'Shon DiazHOST
So, you know, I, I, I think, you know, it all worked out and I think this was a right situation in which they could kind of pull off, you know, the roster shuffle, but don't necessarily like the optics or the message of like, we're going to cut probably one of the best performing players.
Tre'Shon DiazHOST
And, you know, a lot of people, you know, of the things i saw immediately which was like well they kept jd bertrand and not tyler goodson because of special teams um that's kind of my indicator that people really haven't been paying attention to tyler goodson this preseason because he's been on special teams not just as a returner he's been on the kickoff team he recorded a tackle he has been performing well in every phase of the game um and he was somebody who you know you could have probably just kept on the roster and had waved and cut somebody else but you know they have their own priorities in the building And it all worked out at the end of the day.
Tre'Shon DiazHOST
So not going to kick up too much dust about it, but definitely one of the weirder moves and decisions to kind of see the team make.
Kevin KnightHOST
Yeah, absolutely.
Corey BurtonHOST
So Cameron Williams is going to be a really good developmental piece on the offensive line.
Corey BurtonHOST
And also Yasser Abdullah is going to be a really good linebacker with J.D. Bertrand going to IR.
Corey BurtonHOST
Abdullah steps in and could put Bertrand out of work when Bertrand gets healthy enough to be activated.
Corey BurtonHOST
They could activate him and waive him.
Corey BurtonHOST
which I think would make a lot of Falcons fans happy based on the feedback that I've seen.
Corey BurtonHOST
Um, Josh Woods got elevated from the practice squad even.
Corey BurtonHOST
So that's cool.
Corey BurtonHOST
He he's going to be in that spot left behind by JD Bertrand.
Will McFaddenHOST
We've got five linebackers.
Will McFaddenHOST
Divine Diablo, J.D. Bertrand, Christian Harris, Kendall Daniels, Harold Perkins Jr., We got 13, I believe, defensive backs.
Will McFaddenHOST
Jesse Bates, Avion Terrell, Mike Hughes to Marco Hellams, AJ Terrell, CJ Henderson, Mike Ford, Sidney Brown, Xavier Watts, Billy Bowman, Jamie Robinson, Natrone Brooks, and Malcolm DeWaltz.
Will McFaddenHOST
And then we've got eight defensive linemen, Samson Ebukim, Brandon Dorlis, Deshaun Hand, Zedarius Smith, Mason Smith, LaKale London, Zach Harrison, Cameron Thomas, and then Gervin Dexter, who the Falcons traded for.
Kevin KnightHOST
Great depth, far better depth.
Kevin KnightHOST
Um, magic going from JD Bertrand to Christian Harris as your third linebacker.
Kevin KnightHOST
You love to see it.
Kevin KnightHOST
Um, and then the fourth li- linebacker is Harold Perkins Jr., who I think will have a rotational role, will probably p- play some in certain packages.
Kevin KnightHOST
Not great.
Kevin KnightHOST
You know, solid, not great.
Kevin KnightHOST
Um, but he's a special team standout, and I think he's definitely outplayed both Bertrand and Channing Tindall, um, for the sort of final, uh, linebacker spot.
Kevin KnightHOST
[clears throat] Moving on to corner, which I think is one of the more interesting ones.
