It's just crazy 'cause you don't know what's going to happen. 367 00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:55,259 It's just weird to be week-to-week and… not being able to plan anything. 368 00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:57,719 But it's exciting. 369 00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,972 All right. Cheers. Cheers to the one seed. 370 00:19:00,055 --> 00:19:01,974 -Cheers to a bye week. -Cheers. 371 00:19:02,057 --> 00:19:04,059 -A little break. Some fun. -Yay! Finally. 372 00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:12,151 Entering the final three weeks, Atlanta is still very much alive. 373 00:19:12,234 --> 00:19:14,736 One game back in the NFC South. 374 00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:18,532 So, what went into this decision to bench Kirk Cousins? 375 00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:21,785 It goes back to the torn Achilles, and coming back from that, 376 00:19:21,869 --> 00:19:25,164 they didn't feel like he was driving the ball the same in September. 377 00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:28,750 That resolved itself in October, but then in November, 378 00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,502 in a game against the Saints, 379 00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:34,131 he banged up his shoulder and elbow, and he really hasn't been the same since. 380 00:19:34,214 --> 00:19:36,383 He's had a turnover issue, lost some confidence. 381 00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:38,135 Now they'll turn to Michael Penix. 382 00:19:38,218 --> 00:19:42,264 Once I lost my shoulder and my elbow, should I have sat out? 383 00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:44,850 Should I have done something different in my rehab? 384 00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:46,768 You have all those questions. Um… 385 00:19:46,852 --> 00:19:49,897 With the information I had at the time, I made the best decision. 386 00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:54,318 But you also know that if you sit down week ten, 387 00:19:54,401 --> 00:19:57,446 and take two or three weeks or more to let it heal, 388 00:19:57,529 --> 00:19:59,489 um… you may never get your job back. 389 00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:00,490 You know? 390 00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:04,161 I remember reading Drew Brees' book back in 2010 when he first wrote it, 391 00:20:04,244 --> 00:20:08,290 how he made the point that he tried to never let his backup see the field, 392 00:20:08,373 --> 00:20:11,877 even if it was, you know, somebody who was really no threat. 393 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,923 He felt like you should never do that. That Doug Flutie taught him that. And so… 394 00:20:16,006 --> 00:20:18,884 That was something I always was aware of, that, in this league, 395 00:20:18,967 --> 00:20:21,887 if you give someone else the chance… if you wanna be Wally Pipp 396 00:20:21,970 --> 00:20:25,057 and there's Lou Gehrig behind you… you know, that can happen. 397 00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:27,976 You gotta make the decision with the information you have then. 398 00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,436 Confident? 399 00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:32,940 Sure.

Yeah. -If you want to do scout team, you can. 403 00:20:39,863 --> 00:20:42,449 -I just gotta stay sharp. -Let me know what you wanna do. 404 00:20:42,532 --> 00:20:46,036 You're good either way? I just want to leave it to you. I'm giving you a week. 405 00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:57,965 CB, I'm taking my first scout team reps here 406 00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,343 in, uh… in probably ten years. 407 00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:05,597 I'm trying to think. I don't think I've taken a scout team rep in ten years. 408 00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:08,016 -But today's the day. -That's insane. 409 00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,185 We'll get some work in today, you and me. 410 00:21:12,354 --> 00:21:14,773 Our building rallied behind Kirk, 411 00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:17,859 and to find a way to find those winning moments 412 00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:19,820 that we found earlier in the season, 413 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,989 but were just not able to do it. 414 00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:25,075 And, uh, ultimately, when we played that last game, 415 00:21:25,158 --> 00:21:26,785 on that Monday night in Vegas, 416 00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:29,955 that's when I had to make the change, which is tough. 417 00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:32,082 There it is. 418 00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:33,625 Good ball, Mike. 419 00:21:34,376 --> 00:21:36,295 Good ball.
