 as well as Tampa Bay takes on the Carolina Panthers today in Carolina. But for right now, thank you guys for joining us for the Falcons pregame show presented by Ticketmaster for the last time possibly this season. Taylor Bismarck, Derek Grackley, we made it to week 18. How are you feeling? Oh, I had no doubts that we are going to make it to week 18. It was just going to be what's going to be the shape of the Atlanta Falcons as we got to the final week of the season and you kind of painted the picture. They got to have a victory over the New Orleans Saints and then they got a hope that the Tampa Bay game doesn't really help that. It's at the same exact time. Both of these games today will take off kickoff today at 1 o'clock, so we're not going to. We're going to be like scroll when looking at the scores, but the players and the coaches obviously don't in Arthur Smith. They'd mentioned today or earlier in the week that they they're just trying to figure out and trying to get a win on their own. They're not going to be thinking about the Tampa Bay game at all. They're trying to finish business on the field today. And I mean, if you don't win today, it doesn't matter what Tampa does, right? Yeah, exactly, but here's the thing in basically every NFL stadium. They either have scroll scores scrolling or somebody will come on in the stadium and they will do updates of scores going on around the National Football League. So yes, you can sit there and say that you're focused on what you're doing. But if you have a time out and all of a sudden somebody comes on the the stadium PA and gives you updates from around the league and they happen to give the Tampa Carolina score, it's going to be hard to just completely tune that out. So those are the things that happened, but you still have to just go out there and focus on executing what you're trying to do offensively defense and special teams. That's going to be a challenge in and of itself, especially playing at New Orleans. Exactly, it's going to be a really big challenge, obviously because of the division and of this rivalry. We're going to get into a little bit more later on about how tight this matchup has been against the Falcons and the Saints. But we've already played this team once before and we beat them before. But in Mercedes Benz Stadium, a couple weeks or a few weeks ago, excuse me, and then today in New Orleans, they're going to be doing a 5050 raffle for ALS. The New Orleans Saints Organization and Atlanta Falcons Organization are coming together for a second time to make a significant impact on the lives impacted by ALS. Both organizations have collaborated on a 5050 raffle initiative during their head to head matchups this season that contributes to the missions of football legends, Steve Gleason and Tim Green. All proceeds from the raffle will directly support tackle ALS and team Gleason and their mission to find a cure for ALS. Whether wearing black and gold or red and black, supporters for both teams can unite under a common goal, making a difference in the lives of individuals facing challenges and adversity. Let's join hands in supporting tackle ALS and team Gleason, contributing two of the efforts to find a cure for ALS and making a positive impact on those affected by the disease. I mean, again, we did it in Mercedes Benz Stadium and now they're going to be able to do it down in New Orleans. It's a great cause and it's crazy that both teams have a former player that is affected by ALS. Yeah, we had a chance to talk about this at the end of November when they played in the first matchup and I agree with you and I think it's a great initiative that both of these organizations decided to get ahead of this and say, let's do something for the better outside of just the football game that's going to be played in between the lines. And so the fact that they did it not only in Atlanta but they're going to do it in New Orleans today, the 5050 raffle trying to raise as much money as possible to help these organizations and these two players that are dealing with just a very, very difficult disease and I'm glad to see that better rivals can get together and they can put all that stuff aside and say, let's use our platform to do something for the greater good. Exactly, but speaking of better rivals, we're going to go ahead and talk about this same matchup and it's going to, we're going to take you down a road a little bit differently today because normally we talk about the grand picture of what the team looks like and what they were last time that we saw them but we're going to get right down to the meet today. We're going to start with inactives today because of the inactives for both of these teams we're going to go ahead and start with the Atlanta Falcons today. Taylor Heineke will be inactive today with an ankle injury. He was questionable coming into the game in New Orleans today but he will be inactive. So will Zach Harrison. So obviously Desmond Ritter will start. Desmond Ritter made his very first NFL start down in New Orleans last year. Obviously didn't turn out the way that he wanted it to but in his second start against the New Orleans Saints he ended up winning that game. So what are you expecting from Desmond Ritter today? Well I think that what we know is that Desmond Ritter is going to play Desmond Ritter's game which that's a good and a bad thing because he's not going to sit there and be hesitant because he knows what's happened in the past or at least maybe he's not because that's what we've seen that he continues to take chances and play aggressively. And there's one thing that you can say is yes you want a player to learn from mistakes and grow as an NFL player as a professional but you also don't want to take the edge away. I remember seeing a quote from CJ Stroud as we were talking about the game that happened last night. CJ Stroud they were asking him about a couple of interceptions that he threw throughout the season and this was a few weeks ago and he said well I'm not going to change who I am I'm still going to take chances I'm still going to throw the ball down the field. That's the kind of confidence that you want from a quarterback. You still want that from Desmond Ritter but you also have to know that when it's not there you throw the ball out of bounds you live to take a punt if you need to and play the field position battle. So hopefully he comes out plays a much more ball security aware football game but the fact that Taylor Heineke's out Zach Harrison's out Drew Dalman is also out as far as the reason why we had to do these inactives first because a lot of the discussion around the game is going to have to do with some of the players that will not be playing in this one. Exactly and you mentioned taking those chances like CJ Stroud said but there is a fine line between taking chances and making good choices. Obviously last time Desmond Ritter was under center with the Falcons as a starting quarterback he made a costly error against the Carolina Panthers so it's going to come down to today if Desmond will be able to make good choices and take good chances as well but let's go ahead and get to the New Orleans Saints inactives today because this one is a big one Alvin Camara will be sitting out today. He was questionable all week. Obviously he came out last week against Tampa and second half did not return and he will be out again today. What does Alvin Camara being out due to this New Orleans Saints? Yeah, I mean this dramatically affects this game because Alvin Camara is still one of the more electric players and I'm not going to say running backs because I'm going to say players in the National Football League. You look at his rushing number, 694 yards and that's not necessarily going to move the meter but you look at what he's done on the ground and through the air. He's got 75 catches this year which actually is the most in the National Football League by a running back. So you see how many times that they're trying to get the football in his hands and what he can do when the ball is in his hands out in space. They're not going to have that option today so they do have Jamal Williams. Here's the interesting thing about Jamal Williams. He comes over to New Orleans. Doesn't necessarily have a great season but last year when he was with Detroit he had over a thousand yards and 17 rushing touchdowns. So it's not like they're going to be going to a backup running back that is not accomplished, that's inexperienced. This is a guy that just really hasn't gotten his number called this year. So is Atlanta going to have to take it easy now against this run game? Not at all because Jamal Williams can present some issues. He got the football lot in the game last week against Tampa Bay and then obviously you still know that you have Tayson Hill who's going to get involved in the game plan in a number of different ways. So not having Camara definitely helps Atlanta because he's a difficult player to stop but not to say that Jamal Williams is going to be an easy task either. Yeah, let me see this. Jamal Williams last week after Camara came out in that second half against Tampa Bay had 19 carries for 58 yards. So they're using him a lot. It's not like he's this rookie who's never played the game. Like you just said, he has experience. He knows how to run the ball. He also knows how to catch the ball. He can kind of do it on both sides as well which creates another problem that maybe the Falcons didn't really scout for this week against Jamal Williams instead of Alvin Camara. Yeah, I mean, Atlanta knew the situation. They obviously know when players get banged up they're saying, okay, well, here's what's going to happen if Camara does play and here's what's going to happen if he doesn't play. And so they're going to be ready for whichever running back and package that's in the game. There's going to be a lot for them to study on the defensive side just because they know that when Tayson Hill comes into the game you could get a little bit of anything. He could line up as a quarterback. He could line up as a running back. He can go out for a pass. So there's so many different things that you have to be aware for when he comes into the game. Now they're going to kind of do that with Jamal as well. So it's going to be interesting to see how New Orleans tries to attack Atlanta. Do they try to go just more traditional? Pound the football with Jamal Williams. Try to go in between the tackles because with Camara, you could do a lot of different things with him. You can go outside zone, inside zone. You can swing him out on the perimeter. Obviously they get him out of the backfield and try to get the ball in his hands out in space. Maybe not the same idea with Jamal Williams today, but still going to have to make sure goal number one is going to be stopped the run against whoever is in the backfield for New Orleans. Yeah, one thing that I do know with Camara out, Heineke out, Dahlman, Harrison out, all these guys out, it's still going to be a close game. Because listen, this rivalry goes back years and years and years and it is right down the line. Look at this, 55 wins for Atlanta, 54 for New Orleans. The New Orleans wins down in New Orleans, excuse me, this 27 wins and 27 wins for New Orleans. I mean, this is such a closely contested rivalry and that's why it's that good to watch and be a part of. I mean, just look at these numbers. It's just eerie how everything is so close, not only in the history, but even this season, if we can look and see what the numbers are this season as well. I mean, everything is so close here. You can see why these teams have similar records and why this is such an interesting matchup. Look at third down efficiency, 40% to 39%. Here's the interesting thing, if you take rushing yards and passing yards for Atlanta and New Orleans and you add it up, you get 5,538 for Atlanta. You get 5,549 for New Orleans. That's a difference of 11 total yards between these two teams. So not only is it the entire series history, but it's also what they've done on the football field this year is just so eerily similar. So that just shows why this game is probably gonna be a close matchup, why a certain amount of plays, probably three or four plays in this game will probably prove to be the difference and why mistakes are gonna be amplified so much because these two teams are very close. You make one of those critical mistakes, the other team's probably gonna take advantage of it. Exactly, I was so shocked by it when I looked at the split of times played in New Orleans because everyone knows that New Orleans is one of the loudest stadiums to play in. It's eerie. The way that they made this stadium is for the volume to go up and then to slam back down on you. It is known to be a loud stadium, not Superdome, so obviously I thought that it would be more on the New Orleans side, but it's not, it's right down the middle, Atlanta and New Orleans are tied right now down in Caesars Superdome right now and as you can see, it's reached the top of 136 decibels. That is so, so loud. Yeah, I think that 2013 game actually is the third loudest ever and I've played there a number of times. I wanna say I've played there at least six times. I was trying to remember really quickly if I ever played there when I was with Seattle, but I played there at least six times and I can tell you that the noise definitely goes up and it definitely slams right back down on you. It's one of those places in the National Football League that is truly a home field advantage because of how loud it gets. For anybody that comes in there, nonetheless a division rival. So it's always just a little bit more amplified with the noise when the Falcons come to town because there's that hate between the two teams on the field. So that's, we're gonna get to that a little bit later. We can talk about keys, but it's gonna be a big part of this game. Exactly, and I think too, it's always loud down there in New Orleans, but also when you look at this rivalry and then you look at what's to come and what has to happen today for both teams, I think it's gonna be one of the loudest they've heard the stadium probably all season because both of these teams are looking to win today and they're hoping that Tampa Bay loses to the Carolina Panthers because the Saints obviously beat them last week by 10 points down in Tampa. But let's talk about this Saints team. Obviously we already talked about them a little bit without having Alvin Camero, but when you look at the Saints team, obviously they have a really big defense that they have a lot of sacks, a lot of tackles, a lot of interceptions. What strikes you as a problem from the Saints team? So Cam Jordan is the one that has always given Atlanta Falcons problems over the years and not to say that he has not got the ability to give them problems in this game, but he is not having the type of season that we've seen him in years past. He's got just two sacks this year. He really hasn't been the difference maker as far as getting after the quarterback, but that's been Carl Granderson this year who's got eight and a half sacks. He's been the difference maker, did not have one last week, but the three previous games he had a sack in those games as well. Then you got DeMario Davis who leads the team in tackles with 112, but he's also got six and a half sacks in this game. He's a very physical, very smart linebackers, played a lot of football. You're not gonna trick him. He knows where he's gonna be, very good communicator. And then you got a couple of defensive backs that have taken the football away. I think Atlanta knows about Tyrone Matthew and ended up getting two interceptions in that first game off of Desmond Ritter. And then Paul said to Debo, I remember we talked about him in the pregame show before the first game because he was a guy that had gotten his hands on the football four times early on in the season and was in the top five as far as interceptions. Oddly enough, he has not had an interception in the entire second half of the season. Again, not to say that he can't happen in this game, but he's not been as hot as he was early on in the season. So thinking about some of the players that could present some issues, those are some of the guys that come to mind. But again, it could be anybody, but those are some of the stars that have made some plays this year. Exactly, you bring up Tyrone Matthew. He has three interceptions all in season, two of which came from the Falcons game. Last time we saw him in Atlanta, he had two pick offs, one of which was right before the half. I don't remember that. It was a huge pendulum swing in the Saints' favor. And then DeMario Davis, he's just been rolling for the Saints defense all season long. He's kind of been that leader of the defense, but something I want to mention about those sacks, there's been 33 sacks for the Saints all season long. Not one of them was against Atlanta last time. So when you look at this offensive line, obviously, Drew Dahlman is out today. Ryan News will probably step in for that center position. But what, I mean, how good exactly is this Falcons offensive line? Yeah, I mean, they're gonna have to have another great one today. Obviously, we know Chris Lindstrom got named to the Pro Bowl this week, so it's another great honor for him. We knew that he was one of the better interior offensive linemen in the national football league for him to continue to be recognized is a credit to him. And obviously we know about Jesse Bates and Derek Carr knows about Jesse Bates from the last time that these two ended up playing together. Those are the Pro Bowl selections and starters from the Atlanta Falcons this year. So again, congratulations to those two guys in the tremendous seasons that they've had, even with Lindstrom dealing with some nagging injuries, continued to fight through them. And then Jesse Bates coming over as the big time prize free agent. And not only did he earn his dollar this year, he exceeded all of that. And he exceeded all of his statistics of what he has done previously throughout his career. Let's get back to the offensive line real quick. They gotta find a way to control the line of scrimmage in this game, because if they can get this running game going, if you remember in that last matchup, Bijan Robinson arguably the best game that he's had the entire season. And over 120 scrimmage yards, he had a couple touchdowns in that game, but they had the ability to control the line of scrimmage, whether that's running the football with Robinson, with Tyler Algier, whoever ends up getting the ball in their hands, and then the pass protection, trying to keep people out of the face as much as possible with Desmond Ritter. It's gonna give him a chance to move the football up and down the field. First downs are gonna be their friend. Staying on schedule offensively is gonna be their friend, meaning stay away from penalties, stay away from third and 14, third and 20. It's just a difficult way to continue to operate on the road when you're way back up behind the chains like that. Yeah, and we were talking before the show started that Drake London, as we know, is a lot better seemingly at home than away. What does Drake London need to do today to make sure that he has not just a good game, but a great game? Well, I think it's two things. I think it's a play-calling effort to try to find ways to get the football in his hands immediately, and it's a quarterback, again, not trying to force the football into a window that's not there, but understanding why you got a first round draft pick that's got a size advantage over basically everybody that he's gonna go against in the national football league. So let's get him confident. Let's get him cooking early on in the game. Let's get the ball in his hands, because we know when he gets going, he gets excited. He gets the rest of the team juiced up, because that's the energy that he plays with. Find a way to get him the football because he's physical, he'll put his shoulder down. He'll go up over the top of the defense if he needs to, but I think it needs to be a concerted effort by Arthur Smith with the play-calls and with the quarterback, Desmond Ritter. Let's find a way to get the football in his hands early to get him going and see if he can be a difference maker on the road for him. Yeah, so talk about Drake London. Let's go to a wide receiver that he's compared to a lot, especially in this NFC South Crystal Lave, obviously, as their wide receiver won, and they were relying on him a lot. Last time we saw them in Atlanta, he obviously came out on concussion protocol in that game. But when you look at how to defend Crystal Lave and what kind of wide receiver he is, I mean, he's one of the better young wide receivers in this league. How do you defend and make sure to shut a Lave down today? Well, there's a number of different reasons, ways that you can do it. Remember, he had a really good game against Atlanta the first time. Seven catches 114 yards in that game. I think the ways that you slow him down are this. Number one, it doesn't even go up as far as right over the top of him. It starts at the line of scrimmage. Find a way to get pressure on the quarterback immediately so he doesn't have the ability to find Crystal Lave early in the route or throw the football on time. Number two, you can get in his grill on the line of scrimmage. Mess up the timing coming off of the line. That way, you get your quarterback to say, okay, the timing's gonna be off with a Lave. I need to come back to the middle or go to the other side. So you could mess around with playing some press. You could play some cover too, where your corner's gonna be up already. Get in his face a little bit, but you gotta make sure that you either get him at the line of scrimmage or you have help over the top. Because he's a smooth wide receiver now. He's got over 1,000 yards this year for a reason. Make sure that you find a way that if he gets out on the, cause he likes to run speed outs along the sidelines in the middle of the field as well, they're gonna try to get him the football. You gotta make a play on it. That's where Jesse Bates comes in. That's where AJ Terrell comes in. Find a way to knock the football loose. Again, he's gonna find a way to get his hands on the ball. This needs to be like a four catch for 65 yard game for Chris Olavi. If that's what he finishes with, we're in good hands. Okay, we're gonna try to shut down Chris Olavi and Jesse Bates might be the guy to do it. If you don't remember, he had the pick six last time down in the red zone. It was their only red zone turnover all year at that point for the New Orleans Saints. And I actually spoke to Jesse earlier in the week and he said, I think the New Orleans Saints pick six was probably my favorite play I've ever made in the national football league. And he's been having a career year. Obviously he was selected to the Pro Bowl earlier in the season and I will not be shocked if he is an all pro as well. But let me look at this, from last year to this year, four interceptions, six interceptions this year. 28 yards after a fumble or an interception or what have you, 95 yards this year. I mean, he has just broken every major statistical category this year in Atlanta. And I asked him, you know, how does that happen? And he said, I watch film and I wanted to break a lot of these records. I wanted to go out and show that, you know, I can still be doing and growing outside of my rookie contract. I mean, what kind of guy is Jesse Bates for safety and also for this Falcon Steve? Yeah, it's just been a difference maker. I see the three forced fumbles, which is a big deal. Not only getting the interceptions but finding other ways to create turnovers. But to me, maybe the most impressive thing is the plus 57 in tackles this year. When you add up the solo and assistive tackles. I mean, he's having a monster year by getting involved in the run game and obviously making some tackles in the past game as well, but he's not just one of these guys that sits back in center field and he's looking to make a play on the football. This is guy that's a willing and able tackler. He's going to come downhill. They feel confident with him blitzing if they need to getting close to the line of scrimmage. But he's been the consistent force for the Falcons defense the entire season where we've had some injuries, especially on the defensive line at the corner position. He has been back there. He has been solid all year and he's continued to make plays in at least one more regular season game. Let's see if we could find a way for Jesse Bates to make a couple more plays because he's got the ability to do that. That's right. It's really fun just to watch him work in the backfield. He kind of sees the field kind of like a coach. You can see him like yelling at everybody and telling everyone where to go and what to do and where to move and all the things that's so interesting to watch him on the field. So I mean, if it's like a first and 10, I mean, maybe check out watching Jesse Bates down in the backfield if you will. It's really fun to watch him go to work. But let's go ahead today. You talked about walking down that backfield. It's got to be a key to the game. I know that you have your three. This is presented by Wells Fargo. The keys to the game as we always do. Last time for sure that we're going to be doing this today. So what are the keys to the game today to get a win down? Well, we talked a little bit about the decibel level that can happen down there in the Cesar Superdome. And number one is going to be manage the environment. And for a visiting team, any visiting team that comes in there, it's a challenge. But we talked about when it's the Atlanta Falcons, a division rival, it just ends up being a little bit more, a little bit louder. So how do you manage it? You got to make sure you minimize the adjustments that you're going to make in plays, right? So your audibles, everybody's got to be on the same page if you're going to make an adjustment. The snap count, everybody's got to be on the same page. And especially your wide receivers and tight ends that are split away from the football, from the tackle box, if you will. You got to think about every wide receivers talked about, make sure you look at the football. You don't move until the football moves. When you're playing on the road, you got to do that anyway because you're not going to be able to hear anything, especially if you're using a silent count. So all of those things to make sure that everybody is on the same page and you avoid those penalties that we talked about earlier that get you behind the chains and off schedule. So again, now you're at second and long, third and long, just a difficult way to operate in any environment, even at home. Nonetheless, when you're playing where the New Orleans Saints call their home place, it's a difficult place to navigate. It is, and you have a younger offense, obviously, with your big playmakers, Cal Pitts, Drake Lennon, Bajon Robinson, obviously that will be his first time playing down in New Orleans. But even with the guys that have played just a couple of times, it's still a loud environment to go to. And if you can get yourself poised, calm the moment down, just stay in the zone and allow those plays to create themselves in a way and make those good decisions like we were talking about at the top of the show, I think they'll be able to get it done today. But let's talk about your second key to the game. Yeah, it's gonna be stop the run. And this is one where I thought about early in the week, especially with Alvin Camero in the backfield. But even though he's not gonna be in the backfield, all of that still stays the same. He goes out with the injury, Jamal Williams comes in, you gotta stop the run. Whether it's him, whether it's Taysum Hill or anybody else in the backfield, this is gonna be first and foremost. Try to make this team one-dimensional offensively and get their car to start throwing the football through the air. Maybe as we talked about in AJ Terrell, Jesse Bates gets their hands on the football. But one of the ways to lose in any level of football is allow a team to start manipulating the pace of the game because of how they run the football. New Orleans, not a great year running the football. They're 21st in the NFL, just shy of 100 yards a game running the ball. But you don't want this to be the game that they break out of that and they end up with 160, 180 yards rushing and they control the pace of the game because of their ability to pick up first downs. So first and foremost, stop the run. They always say stop the run and earn the right to rush the passer. That's gonna be the story today. You talk about controlling the clock and manipulating the play, how long you have to play. Obviously I wanna mention this really fast because of how important it's been for Atlanta all season long. There have been seven games where the Falcons have been up at the half. They have won five of them. They've obviously lost two of those games. But it's really important for the Falcons to be up at the half because if they are up at the half, the ability to win really grows itself a little bit more. And for the Saints, obviously, most of their games this year have been decided at the half. Well, whoever is up ends up winning their game. So it's really a first half show against these two teams today. Yeah, Falcons just been not great as a trailing team in the second half. And Arthur Smiths talked about the middle eight a lot of times last four minutes of the first half, first four minutes of the second half. And it's gonna be even more important. I gotta try to get away to get on the scoreboard early as you get play out in front. Put the pressure on New Orleans as a visiting team. Saw a little bit of that last night with the Texans playing at the Colts. See if Atlanta can do that today. Get themselves a lead early on. Put the ball in the end zone a couple of times and then see what happens in the second half. All right, so let's get to our third and final key today. What is it gonna be? I've been harping on it all season long but I'm just gonna continue to do it because it's ball security. You gotta find a way to protect the football. And think about the New Orleans Saints now. They've gotten a little bit hot. Won three of their last four games and they have dominated the turnover margin in those three wins that they've had over the last four games. And you think about the last week, they forced four turnovers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in that game and they sit at plus eight in the turnover margin right now. Atlanta Falcons minus nine. So think about that delta this year and that's the reason why Atlanta struggled to find any consistency because they just haven't been able to get out of their own way with the football. So how do you do it again, especially playing in New Orleans today? All the stuff that we talked about, the communication, the decision-making, can't take your edge off. You still have to take chances when they're there but you have to trust your eyes if you're the quarterback and all these ball carriers. You decide to tuck the football down and run, it's gotta be ball security. You can't get loose with the football as we've seen a couple of quarterbacks. Desmond Ritter, Bijan Robinson, have gotten the ball knocked out from the backside just because you pass up a defender doesn't mean somebody else is not coming. They gotta find a way to protect the football and give themselves a chance with no turnovers in this game. And as you mentioned, the Saints forced four turnovers last week against Tampa, two interceptions, two fumbles, which the Saints actually ended up recovering on those fumbles as well. So they're kind of finding their cadence of getting those turnovers and putting them in their favor, getting positive yards for the Saints. So what you don't wanna do is let them continue to snowball and get those really big turnovers for this game. Yeah, protect the football, take it away on defense and those playmakers that I've talked to you about in previous weeks, those guys gotta show up. Tyler, Bijan, Pitts, Drake, those guys gotta get the football in their hands and they gotta make things happen. Yeah, there was a game. I don't remember what game it was, but you were like, Drake needs this many carries. 15, 10, and five. And he was right and he hit it on the head. It was nuts. This guy knows what he's talking about, you guys. I think we should listen to him a little bit more. But yeah, so it's week 18. Last time for sure that we'll see you. If we win today and the Carolina Panthers beat Tampa today, we will probably be seeing you guys in Mercedes-Benz Stadium next Sunday. And we'll see what happens then. A home game, never know, right? So we'll see what happens. This guy is the limit for the Falcons right now. It's gonna be exciting day across the National Football League because of the playoff scenarios in Atlanta being one of those. This might be one of the most fun weeks in the NFL outside of like week one when like it's just everything that's great and grand and green. But week 18 is where everything is final. What is gonna happen today will determine what the wild cards look like. So listen guys, it's been so fun with you. This is my first season as the host and it's the first season of the pre-game show. So obviously, thank you to Derek Grackley for being the guy next to me and just leading me along the way here. Thank you guys for joining us every single week. It's been so much fun. I have loved to be able to sit down and talk about each and every game with you. I want to send a shout out to all the guys and girls up in the control room that always makes it look so good on the screen for us. Thank you to everyone. If we don't see you again, we'll see you next season. And yeah, hopefully we'll get up. Enjoy the game. Yeah, do you wanna go? But first, enjoy the game today. Yes, enjoy the game down in New Orleans.
