Jeff Ulbrich

Darren Rizzi.

Obviously, Jeff Ulbrich got the complimentary interview.

Vance Joseph, that would have been a solid one.

That would have been a better one.

downhill and and kind of do all of that and come at you what do you make of of the challenge that Atlanta's up against

well I think first off I'll go back to what you said about Joe Burrow playing some of the best ball of his career Jeff Ulbrich today said the exact same thing and he he said he's Joe Burrow someone who he's seen play a lot he has a lot of history with and he was like you know what this guy i've seen him play pretty well but this year specifically he was like this is somebody who is constantly making the right decision even when you are in you're trying to manipulate things defensively he was like it's kind of been wild how this year maybe more than any other year of dobro's career he is reading things so cleanly And I use the word clean because I also think that you have to give kudos to the offensive operation as a whole for the Bengals.

And it's a very clean operation.

Joe Burrow is not really... rushed or hit or anything that often this offensive line is playing very very well in terms of their protection and then when teams do blitz this was so going back to this game against the Titans that the Bengals are just coming off from they blitzed at a percentage of almost 30%, they were blitzing, which was the third highest in a game for them this season.

This is a high-scoring, high-functioning offense.

It's one of the best that the Falcons may see this year.

So it is a very, very big challenge for Jeff Ulbrich and for this defense.

And it's kind of like the flip side of the challenge they were just up against.

I wonder if they'll go out there.

If the Jets decide to move on from Will McDonald, I could see Atlanta as a landing spot because of the Jeff Ulbrich relationship.

Cowboys are 3-5.

We move to Sunday at 1 o'clock.

I think the defense did a great job of limiting scoring and keeping the game in play, despite the fact that they did not, you know, ultimately shut down Tampa Bay's run game in any way.

They're also not really built to do that, and I think that's kind of something that Ulbrich's got to figure out, is like...

Like, I know they don't want to, like...

Like, they want to do this attacking style thing 24-7.

They're really bad against gap scheme inside runs.

And that's just kind of that's a partially a limitation with the scheme, but it's partially just a stubbornness on the part, I think, of Falcons.

of Ulbricht and, and Nate Ali to some extent where it's like, they're committed to playing the style and the style has served them well, but there are some teams and some schemes that are going to be able to take advantage of that.

And you've got to find a way where he Morris again, a better plan, I guess, not a way, a better plan for how to deal with that particular style of offense.

Defensively, they've had a lot of injuries, especially at the corner position.

But Jeff Ulbrich usually... has a pretty good plan for whoever's in there.

And so I feel like because they've had bad games already this year, that they're going to be able to put it behind them.

They know very much that with the three wins they have, they're very much in the race in the NFC South.

We're on an app, you know.

Jeff Ulbrich's son, Jax.

snooping through his dad's iPad that was left open, getting Shador Sanders' number, pranking him, claiming he was Saints GM Mickey Loomis, and we're on the clock about to draft you.

The apologies that had to come from dad, the Falcons, the fines, the embarrassment, that can only happen to a Falcon assistant head coach.

Head coach is Todd Munkin, and the Browns defensive coordinator is Mike Rotenberg, formerly with the Falcons, which is very interesting to me.

I'm not saying—I don't know how much his defense mirrors a lot of what Jeff Ulbrich runs um defensively but just interesting just caught my eye when i saw that the browns are 29th in points uh which is interesting they're 28th in epa per rush which means that they haven't been good at rushing the ball running the ball they're 13th in pressure rate oh boy here we go again boy here we go 13th in pressure rate 24th in rush defense.

So they allowed the 24th most rushing yards allowed per game.

So you have, this is going to be bad on bad.
