 It's Friday night Atlanta time to rise up tonight with Kelly Price and Harry Douglas presented by AT&T Atlanta, how we doing? I'm Kelly Price joined as always by former Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas How are we feeling on this Friday night? Kelly? I'm doing well. Listen. It's the month of December time flies when you're having fun I'm excited to be here Friday night. It's time to rise up. There you go Well, it's a tough loss for the Atlanta Falcons at home again last Sunday Started off strong with the offense very first opening drive touchdown of the entire season Harry, what works so well for them on that drive? Well, I think coming into this football game You knew the strength of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense was gonna be their front seven right in the middle of the football field So the Falcons did a great job of getting things on the perimeter in the run game in the past game And then it was finished off by Mike Davis for a run as well on the outside zone play So shout out to Arthur Smith shout out to this offense for putting together a great drive and scoring a touchdown on the first one But then there were no more touchdowns for Atlanta's offense the rest of the day That's just not gonna cut it against the defending Super Bowl champions I felt like on that third drive after they got down to that one yard line only ended up with a field goal there That's when the game just really started to get away from them if they'd come away with a touchdown there Maybe it's just a different ballgame at that point The loss was really just a culmination of a lot of missed opportunities like that Sunday, right? Yeah, Kelly They had a lot of missed opportunities You've seen some drop balls earlier and then on third downs after drop balls Falcons didn't get first downs, but you mentioned that drive when they had first and go I think it was first and go first from like a three yard line. They got a penalty the Buccaneers did So it was first and go inside the one yard line They tried to pass the football incomplete second down played Matt Ryan fumbles the snap and then it was just disarray from there So if you score a touchdown there, it's even a different ball game outside of Marlin Davidson's pick six which Harry will get to in his film room later on Tom Brady and company just pretty much had their way with this defense Chris Godwin set some records Brady and Bronx moved up to Second all-time for touchdowns between a quarterback and receiver all these kinds of things just seem to always happening at the Falcons at this point But the Falcons D got only five stops on third down and none on fourth down and on the one fourth down attempt Yeah, third downs was was not the defense's friends the Buccaneers were eight for 13 But I want to point to a particular drive. It was about five minutes left in the third quarter, right? The Buccaneers had a third and two Davidson came in Tyler Davidson that is and then four-year looking could have made a tackle on Leonard Ferdinett in the backfield It didn't make that had another 37 situation where Mike Davis came open the middle of football field to cap that drive off 34 at the 12 11 yard line grunt catches a spray fade for a touchdown So three opportunities on that drive alone to get a stop and the score was still 20 to 17 at that point So that hurt the Falcons big time Well, the Falcons may still be looking for a complete game on the field or a statement win But they're continuing to make statements in the fashion department. Let's check out the best Falcons fits from Sunday Kyle pits my boy rockin a blue leather jacket looks very similar to one that I own I got to say leather jackets my vibe specifically, especially bright ones like this really loved this look I really like how he kept everything simple too. So it evens out and not only is it blue Kelly You went to the University of Florida so the cow pits its Florida gators blue So I like this you got the letter on looking like Michael Jackson, but a different color I love it sticking with the statement jacket theme debo rockin a cool varsity style jacket with some velvet looking details big fan of that and the jeans though Harry not gonna lie looking like Grandma's quilt right over here with these all this patches. There's no maybe to it You know, I took a home back in middle school, right? And they taught us how to knit these quilts, especially grandma's quilt That's exactly what the boy has going on here. I love the jacket. Love the white shirt underneath I just don't know about those pants. I got a smiley face on them and everything debo You debo debo doesn't smile. Yeah, I have nothing against ripped jeans, but the patchwork is interesting All right, here's Frank Darby with the trend. We've been seeing a lot these like 90s style graphic t-shirts. I dig it I especially love the pops of red with his beanie and his sneakers I know you got some love for Mary J. Blige on the t-shirt. I have some love for this Frank Darby I love you man because Mary J. Blige is my favorite female R&B artist of all time So you get a salute you get a thumbs up and man if Put the man in GQ magazine Lastly Darren Hall looking like a cloudy sky or something with this jumpsuit I actually do like the tie-dye, but Richie Grant behind him also in all red giving me kind of Santa Claus vibes with the full Track suit. I remember in school. We used to make these tie-dye t-shirts, right? You dip it in the bucket and change colors and all this that's what this outfit tells me and then you see the Solid it must be sweatsuit season. Is it sweatsuit season? It must be. The weather's changing. It's cold outside. The guys are rocking their sweatsuits I remember those days back in high school, too. Something tells me Darren Hall's tie-dye is a little more expensive than ours. Weather outside is indeed getting frightful in the firesides around Atlanta. Delightful as we're all starting to think about Christmas and what it means to each of us So we asked the Falcons this week about their favorite holiday traditions in this week's question of the week You definitely spend time with the family But then I'd say you know getting to bust out the moose mugs to drink our eggnog from I mean that's a that's a classic Gotta gotta have those. My family comes for Thanksgiving or Christmas You know the family that you don't really see on a day-to-day basis I think that's the best thing and then we all obviously my parents are from Nigeria So they have different foods and different customs that they do. It's pretty cool So you know the magic pajamas things my twin brother who was like 285 pounds canvas thing where we all have to wear like a little footy pajamas So we put the little footy pajamas on for Christmas Eve before we open gifts all the kids They have to you know go around and just say what they're thankful for you know and how you know Jesus has blessed them Just before we start gifts, you know just give thanks and praise because we are just we're very very blessed You know to be in a position that we are I love that all right my favorite family tradition on Christmas morning We always make breakfast always make cinnamon buns specifically before opening presents I know that sounds good to you But honestly the best part of the holiday season just getting to see all the loved ones Do you have any family traditions? I think just been around my family and we normally go to the movies We normally all go to the movies whether it's the day before Christmas the day after Christmas So I really enjoy that with my family and spending that time with them That's so funny my in-laws do the same thing they always go to a Christmas movie premiere Every holiday yeah, yeah, all right still ahead on rise up tonight We go in our feelings with rapper Kevin Gates don't miss that deep conversation later in the show Plus I break down one of the shining moments from Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers my film room is next on Rise Up Tonight We got you covered with more Falcons news and nuggets including a trip over to Harry's film room rise up tonight. I'll be right back ATL this is Ted Crack Let's rejoin my favorite co-host Kelly and have you for more rise up tonight on your home from Falcons football Fox 5 Atlanta Welcome back to rise up tonight for this week's edition of Harry's family Now growing up every offensive lineman a defensive lineman had a dream of scoring a touchdown in the football game No matter the level but when it could come at the biggest stage at the hands of the greatest of all time It has a little bit more meaning. Let's take a look at a play for Marlon Davidson right before halftime Now pay attention to the clock. It's the second quarter 27 seconds now Now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on offense gets easily just run this football and go in the locker room and be be about their business Now I want you to pay attention to Marlon Davidson right here and how he sniffed out this screen as we let the play play I want you to see something right here. This offensive lineman for the Buccaneers did a terrible job of selling this screen So it allowed Marlon Davidson to smell a rat, right? He sniffed something so he sniffed this running back out And I want y'all to watch the rest Great job of sniffing it out Turns it to an interception for a touchdown big man baller, right? So but I want y'all to see the back end of this watch the back end not only did he catch it He called it with one hand. He caught it with one hand. Put that boy in the wide receiver room It's one more thing I want y'all to take notice of as we let this play I want y'all to watch how salty Tom Brady is after this interception happened Tom Brady's very upset at the hip Look at the eyes. Look at the eyes. Oh, yes He has an attitude. He even looks over at Marlon Davidson like what in the world? I got something for you No, mr. Brady. We have an interception for a touchdown Marlon Davidson. Shout out to you man for ringing your keys sniffing it out Squaring a touchdown doing it against the greatest of all time Kelly back to you It's a great play by Marlon. I especially like the breakdown of the Tom Brady reaction Well this week the Falcons shift their focus to the Panthers who even with Cam Newton struggles lately have managed to average more than a 100 rushing yards per game even without Christian McCaffrey Falcons insider Dave Archer brings that breaks down How important the run game will be for both sides in his keys to the game? Falcons stay in division this time on the road go to Carolina take on the Panthers take a look at some of the keys to the game It's a Carolina team you go back to Halloween That was the afternoon the Falcons took on the Carolina Panthers here at Mercedes-Benz stadium and Carolina got after him physically ran the football for over 200 yards and really limited the Falcon running game after the first quarter of the game That's where the Falcons have got to be better on defense They have got to stop the run game and you know that Cam Newton a quarterback is going to be a big part of that But Chuba Hubbard had over 80 yards rushing in the first game He will be the featured runner Christian McCaffrey hurt got to take care of the run game make them beat you Throwing the ball Newton had a really tough day in Miami throwing the ball against the Dolphins all hands on deck now Just five games to go got to find a way to get a W this weekend in Carolina and keep your playoff hopes alive Thanks Dave will still to come on rise of tonight Mike Davis named the Falcons Walter Peyton man of the year nominee this week Victor Pranto has more on that coming up later in the show and coming up next we go in a nest with Kevin Gaze Don't miss that next on Rise Up Tonight Rise Up Tonight is presented by AT&T and brought to you by Georgia Lottery today could be today by Home Depot How do is get more done by Mercedes-Benz the best of nothing and by Truas committed to a better future Come back to Rise Up Tonight and it's time to hop into the nest with Kelly Harry and tonight's influencer What's you by Mercedes-Benz? We are here in the nest with rapper Kevin Gates. We saw you were at a Atlanta Hawks game recently What do you love about the city of Atlanta, man? If I was to tell you what I love about the city, we will be talking forever, but I'm gonna say this Atlanta was the first place that let me know that I could really make it and be something with music I mean coming from Louisiana It was my lifestyle that I was living at the time Was either me going to jail or dying and that was my only two options And then I realized once I came to Atlanta, you know, I could really do something with this music Like I could really do something in both of my children were born here, Waterburn, Eastland, Carl's Island It was born here. So it got sentimental value to me and then I got a lot of family That's what's up, that's dope man. I gotta ask you now out of all the cities you didn't perform then You got to give us your top three. What's your top three? And if they got a little meaning behind it Give me your top four then I take four Dallas Houston baby Rouge in Atlanta. It's no, it's no, okay. I can't say baby I gotta say the whole Louisiana brothers. I gotta say baby Rouge I gotta say Dallas Houston baby Rouge and Atlanta Like it's no specific order, it's whatever order they come with, them four right there just it's just different One of my favorite songs from you bro all time is this song in my feelings You know what I mean? And a lot of guys would be scared of your stature to make a record like that But so I want to ask you what inspired you to do that track? This is no disrespect to no man on earth most men having learned how to process their emotions and feelings and I'm still learning how to do it. You know It's a nurturing aspect That as a man that you can have also Like say my daughter was the file down and straight for all I wouldn't give a mess in the image I would give her a feminine image. I would say come on baby. Get up. I would nurture her But if my son was to fall I tell him hey get up. Come on. You all right? Come on big man. Let's go. Let's keep going. So It's like as a man you always told you gotta be tough gotta be this you gotta be that but if you know Detox emotionally and I do that through yoga like every morning. That's my emotional detox is through yoga We harbor so many emotions in our body, but we don't know how to process It's okay to feel it's okay to go along in your bedroom when your shower and crack It's okay for things to hurt you because all feelings are valid And when and when you don't process these emotions properly you could implode or you could explode And that's just why I met with it right now. But as far as what inspired the song true events Like physical abuse is is one thing but verbal abuse. Hey, you know It had me not believing in myself for a long time people telling me you're never gonna be this you're never gonna be that I used it as motivation I'm gonna show you how great I am but it was also my ego I'm gonna show you how great I am But then I had to start putting that love into myself. It's how you know what character you're an amazing guy. I love you Doesn't matter who goes I love you like I had to start telling myself like I love you And doing the things that I so freely do for others Like I'm just a giver. I got a big heart But I had to learn how to set boundaries and start giving to myself Because if I don't love me, how could I ever love you? And it's just like we're we're raising my children. I don't want to I don't want I don't want my children to repeat the same cycles that that I've been This patternistic nature this patternistic behavior is Like if I have an abandon me issue, so to say like, you know what I'm self sabotage this relationship So my feelings don't get too involved. So I don't have to be hurt. It's easy. It was just quick and to just be brave and facing So I don't want to I don't want my children to grow up and Me pass on these same cycles to them. So I have to heal myself I'm really hard hitting stuff here. I mean, I feel like I just went to a therapy session and learned some stuff from you So thank you so much for your time. We really appreciate that Hey, thank you for having me Yeah, of course for anyone who wants to check out the full conversation hit to fox5atlanta.com We'll post it on there and we'll be right back on rise up tonight Santa this is a crack talking and you watching rise up tonight presented by AT&T Hey crack here rise up tonight has been presented to you by AT&T When the falcons signed mike davis this off season the stevensson high product immediately started making an impact in our area You can just tell it meant more to him to wear an atlanta falcons uniform and give back to the city that raised him Victor prieto has the story of a well-deserved honor. He received this week as we rise up for atlanta brought to you by truest Though the field may look brand new right now for mike davis the second He returned to was on a modern stevensson high school He was taken back to its older days before he attended south carolina and before he became an atlanta falcon davis tributes his success to the work He put in right here on this field and on tuesday morning when he was announced as the falcons nominee for this year's Walter Payton man of the year award. He came back home to pay it forward where it all began once again to represent the Atlanta falcons as the walter payton No freaking way I was really just overwhelmed by how uh by being nominated for it because I know I did a lot of stuff in the community But I never thought that I'd be up for the walter payton man of the year award Considered one of the league's most prestigious honors the walter payton man of the year award recognizes an nfl player with exemplary Volunteer and charity work within their community having the mike davis foundation of hope along with hosting community events like his football camp Where he hosted over 200 kids from the west side of atlanta davis made an easy choice for the falcons He's done so much in the community. He's made so much to uh the state of georgia Really, you know just to see him getting honored for that. It means a lot and uh, I know he's excited about it and proud for him But I I could truly say the whole falcon organization and i'm proud for him I think it means more than what people what what people think it does davis returned to his high school along with falcons linebacker aude ogadeji And spoke with the football team giving both career and life advice I think it's important because because some kids need uh, some people need to hear, you know from the horse's mouth and um Let them know that, you know, I've been in your shoes. Like I know how it is You know, I made it out from bending your shoes like you can like you can do it like it's possible Don't think nothing's out of reach earning 40 000 dollars to a charity of his choice Mike says he has big plans if he were to be named the league-wide award winner man, it'll be It'd mean a word to win it man You know it honestly just makes me want to do more in the community now and uh to win it man I'd probably be in the community every day God Mike's coach at stevensson high school with the legendary ron gartrell was the one that broke the news to davis that he was this year's falcons nominee Now davis says it was an emotional day and some tears may have been shed But overall he was proud to represent his home community and be a role model for those students sitting in the exact same seats He was sitting in 10 years ago reporting from stevensson high school in stone mountain. I'm jacquieto fox five sports Awesome story. Thank you so much victor. Well harry the last time the falcons met the panthers It was halloween joe brady was still the offensive coordinator for carolina sam darnold was their quarterback But carolina still narrowly won that one 19 to 13 a lot has changed So how can the falcons get the win this time? Well, so the first thing first thing they must do is stop the run in that football game The panthers rest for over 200 yards on the ground. You got to be able to stop the running game tuba hubbard He's still there even though christian mccaffrey is not there You got to be able to contain cam in his legs because once you get down in that red zone He's going to be a factor and then you got to take advantage of the opportunities offensively when they're when they're When the plays are there to make you have to make them have to convert third downs They weren't good on third downs in that game either How can this offense really kind of get over the hump of not scoring in the last couple quarters? I'll say um execution it all comes down to execution kelly. You got to be able to execute Things that are being called. You can't make simple mistakes. You got to be able to just just just to step it up Right step it up. I think when it all boils down to that They just got to step it up more. We'll see what they can do on the road They've had a lot of success on the road this year whatever the outcome will be right back here next friday night to tell you about it Thanks for staying up for rise up tonight. Good night
