By Delta State, Gavador, you find your goal has reacted to the certificate issues rocking the vice-presidential candidate of his party, the People's Democratic Party, the PDP. The Gavador made a journal inspection exercise at the Delta State University of Science and Technology Oslo in Isoco, North local government area of the state said he lost his West African Examination Council result but has a printout from the adult college in Benin. Our correspondent Ako Majeru Friday reports that Gavador Kowa noted that all his documents are real and his highest school certificate was charged and they have received it. Printing is that yes my wife's certificate I lost but I have my printer, the wife's printer from the college in the adult college clearly stated there and it's not, I had this decision almost all of a sudden. But the people that I even wrote that apart from found the printout is there, also from said adult college, the highest school certificate was a tight and the acknowledge that it was a tight and that I made, I didn't act then to do so but they told, they put it out there that I made an ABBB. It's very difficult and the highest school certificate to make that. I do not pride myself and that was the second best result nationally in 1976 when I finished my high school. That was the second best result and that was why many universities at that time, you don't have all this in time at the rest now so it was by telegram. So many universities admitted me automatically by telegram to start making choices. Ogoa however called on the federal government to do something about the strike on the academic staff union and universities as well. I continue to sympathize with our children who are in their various homes rather than being in school for several months now. I think that is the opportunity to call on the federal government to do something urgent because we cannot want to keep the children back home. But for Delta State as a government, we have fulfilled all the requirements and that is why you find that this school is active, other universities also are active because we do not have any issues with the lecturers in the foreign universities of the state. We do not have any issues with them at all and that is why I find that school is in section, everything is active, not only in the university of science and technology as well but also in the other free universities. So all four universities are in section in Delta State and that is why actually I think what Parker has told Nigerians that education is very foremost on its mind. Thank you.


Let's do some math in the real world. Oh god, I know where you want to go, Hedgie. We will do that mathematics at some point. Really. Especially the 95% efficacy thing, which is crazy. 95% if you know what I'm talking about. It's basically how I'll give you a little hint on people, right? What's the difference? I have to look it up. I have to look up their definitions. Between 0.04 and 0.88, right? What can you do with these two numbers? Well, you could do this. You could say 0.88. Let's do this. 0.04 minus 0.88 divided by 0.88. This is equal to 0.84 divided by 0.88, which is equal to approximately 95.0.95, which is... If you do it, it's... Let's do a little eraser. 0.95, which is equal to 95, approximately 95%. If you're on our Discord page, if you're in a certain folder, which is the topic of discussion in the world for the last two years, these numbers will ring a bell if you watched about a two-minute video that I posted a link to, right? At some point, we'll dig into this. At some point, we'll dig into this. And this data. And we'll see where it takes us. We'll see where it takes us.


Over the years, Nigeria has experienced attacks from several angles. The former head of crisis, which has failed the news bulletins in recent times, has existed since 1999, when Nigeria's forced republic began. Boko Haram terrorists also began to terrorize the nation in 2009, and now on the spate of attacks, kidnappings and assassinations have increased, even more in recent times. The attacks have left many destitute, poor and even lost. These people are usually called internally displaced persons. The ICRC, that is the International Committee of the Red Cross, has taken it upon themselves to ensure humanitarian protection and assistance for these victims of war and violence. Joining me to discuss this is Aliyu Dawab. He is the spokesperson of the International Community of the Red Cross. Thank you very much, Mr. Dawab, for joining us. Thank you very much for inviting me. Great. Good evening. Thank you. In most disturbing of stories, of course, Nigeria's headlines have filled with very disturbing stories lately. But the most disturbing is that there are about 14 states that have been globally pinpointed as states that are unsafe in Nigeria. And of course, most of those states are in the north and some parts of the south-south and the southwest. But for someone who's worked in these troubled zones for a long time. Paint us a picture of what's going on in the north-south part of the country. Thank you very much again for inviting me into this program. The Northeast of Nigeria has been having these issues of conflict for more than a decade now. A lot of people have been affected, thousands of hundreds of people have been affected. They live in camps, actually, in very, very dilapidated conditions, very poor conditions. They are in need of a lot of basic things that has to do with like water, food, shelter, medication, just to keep their livelihood. They really need these basic things. Nobody talks about other things that are really not basic, but what they need presently is the basic things for their survival. A lot of other people are separated from their families. From our record, we have about 24,000 people registered in our organization because some of the people know that we support in terms of reuniting families that have been separated. So people come to us, and now we have a figure of 24,000 people that have registered and are trying to get reunited with their loved ones, either parents or children or husbands and wives. These are some of the people that are looking for. Sixty percent of these people are actually children that are missing. So like I said, this is just a picture. The primary health center is no more working. Primary health centers are equally sometimes because all the healthcare staff that have been there in these remote areas have deserted these areas. So the primary health centers are not actually working as they are supposed to be working. So these are some of the challenges displaced people can face in the notice of Nigeria and also in other parts of Nigeria where we are having conflicts and other situations that are related to violence in the country. We noticed that there have also been attacks on these people who work with NGOs, humanitarian agencies like yours. And this has also caused some form of shortage of people to help these displaced persons. Recently, there was an attack on a UN hub somewhere in the North again. And I remember the kidnappings of some aid workers. How do you... I'm trying to put it the best way. How do you get the energy to get back to work when you hear the next day that your colleague has been kidnapped or someone was killed from your camp? What's the driving force for people like you to continue to work in these places because it's of course the conditions are harsh and you do not know who's going to attack next? Thank you very much for these comments that you have made. Humanitarian actors are actually very busy trying to support people that have been affected. It is very unfortunate that we have some of our staff being affected during this conflict that is going on. It's unacceptable to kidnap or abduct humanitarian actors in the course of their duties. This is unacceptable in this national humanitarian law says no to this. We call on all the actors to understand that humanitarian actors, the International Committee of the Red Cross specifically does not participate in the conflict that is going on. What we do is mainly to try to see that we have supported people that are affected. People are affected, mostly civilians that are affected by the conflict. Yes, of course, we have these situations 2018. We had two of our staff that have been there once, Saifura, we still have them in our minds. We still remember them very, very unfortunate that they were abducted and finally they were killed. This is something that we always try to call on actors to understand that humanitarian actors, health workers are actually people that are out there to support the people that have been affected. Denying them access to people that are affected is actually not something to do. So we encourage people to allow access so that civilian populations that have been affected will have access to medication, will have access to food, will have access to shelter and also sanitation and so on and so forth. So this is our appeal to all the people that are engaged in fighting, all the armed groups that are fighting to be able to respect humanitarian actors and to be able to respect the International Committee of the Red Cross in Nigeria and across the globe. Let's talk about the issue of migration. There's been a lot of, in fact, there's been mass migration from Nigeria and it didn't start today. It started from when the issues of Boko Haram continued to hold sway. Now we see more and more people migrating away from these troubled zones, either to places where they feel they can seek refuge. But do you see serious cases of migration? Are people really fleeing, especially the shores of Nigeria, places that are bordered with other countries? Do you see a loss of them? Yeah, if you talk about migration, you are talking about the conflict in the Northeast generally is bordering four countries, Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. Of course, with the borders that are not very demarcated, it's easy for people to move across Niger Republic, also easy for people to move across Chad or for people of Chad to also cross over to Nigeria, Cameroon and the rest of them. So we have seen these people, we have also traced people that are missing to other countries and we were able to reunite them. Of course, people are moving, there are a lot of movement of civilian population to areas that are experiencing conflict. Some of them, of course, naturally they will need to have safety and security. So they move to safer areas, these safer areas, this is where we try to also move and see how we can support them. That's why we position some of our offices in the very strategic locations. Our office in BU, for example, in the southern part of Borno State, is positioned specifically to support people that are moving down south from Borno State, down south to northern part of Adam House. We also have another office in MUBI, where this office is also very strategically located, harboring people that are displaced and are moving down south to Adam House and so on. So positioning of this office is actually very strategic so that we would be able to have access to civilian populations. Of course, as an organization, we also have situations where our safety is not guaranteed. So these areas we surely would not like to send our staff to areas that are not very safe for them to be affected by one situation or the other. So we try to avoid that. Of course, the situation is changing. It's always very dynamic. Things that happened yesterday could not... So we keep assessing the situation to try to see how we can adapt our activities to the people and how we can adopt some of the measures to do so that we will be able to keep getting support to the civilian populations across this region. It's really very, very daunting task and we are trying our best to see that we are able to meet some of these people that are in need. All right, finally, we hear that there are so many ungoverned areas, ungoverned zones and spots in these places where there's no security, no cover or presence of government. I'm wondering to myself, what is the face of those people who reside in those ungoverned spots? And again, what is the level of collaboration that you've gotten from the government, especially because you are in the field, you see what's happened. So you are able to give them underspot assessments. How forthcoming has government been in dealing with these situations, especially the issues of not properly demarcating these borders and easy access? Of course, we're also going to see these terrorists run back and forth through those borders. Okay, thank you. I would go for the first question you asked. There are actually thousands, hundreds of thousands of people out there in villages, in remote villages where safety is not guaranteed, security is not guaranteed. These people, we always have them in mind because we don't know how they are able to get food. We don't know how they are able to get medication. We don't know how they are able to continue with their livelihood in these areas. So we still have them in our minds. And we are actually very committed to see that once we are able to get some guarantee, security guarantee, to get to these places, this is something we are really happy to do, to be able to support these hundreds of thousands of people that are not accessible in these areas. This is our hope that we will be able to have this. A lot of, like I mentioned earlier on, a lot of structures have been destroyed out there.  So imagine a place where you have like a thousand people without a primary health center. This is something that is really, really, really very bad and we still have this at the back of our minds and thinking on how to get access to these people to be able to support them. This is the first part. The second part, for the government, we actually have a very good collaboration with the government. What we do is to try to work closely with government authorities, state ministries of health, state ministries of agriculture to support people that are going back to farming activities. This is what we do. People that are like supporting primary health centers, we also work closely with the primary health centers and the state ministries of health. This is a very good collaboration that we have with the government. Also, we work closely with the armed forces, trying to train them also and also to remind them on international humanitarian law so that in the course of their engagement, they should be able to know that there are rules to respect in the course of our operations. So this is like some of the collaborations. Like as in Maidukuri, for example, we have to go, unfortunately, we are out of time. Well, out of time, unfortunately, but I want to thank you because you have been able to do justice to all of this questions that we've put across to you. We want to appreciate the ICRC for the job that you're doing for the people in these troubled zones. Aliudawab is a spokesperson of the ICRC. That's the International Commission for Red Cross. All right. Well, I want to thank you all for being part of the program tonight. I am Mary Annakul. Have a good evening.

Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education. I am Dr. Reshmi Singh, Assistant Professor in Department of Education, SS Khanna Girls to be College, University of Allahabad. And it is my email ID. In previous video, in previous lecture, I have discussed about diet, its background, its role in the context of RTE, and the vision of the establishment of diet. In this video, I am going to discuss Mission, Role, Philosophy, and Functions of Diet. If it is a special reference to a teacher education, a special reference to a teacher education of elementary level teachers. So first of all, the mission of diet. We have known that diet is a district institute of education and training. So what is the mission of diet? We have also known that diet is the establishment of elementary education, universalization of elementary education, primary education, universalization of primary and elementary education, and adult education. You can say for adult illiteracy or adult literacy. So what we will say is that diet's mission is to provide academic and resource support at the grass roots level for the success of the various strategies and programs being undertaken in the areas of elementary and elementary education with special reference to the follow up. This mission is that we can achieve UPE and in National Literacy Mission, the concept of functional literacy, which has been in the previous video, can be achieved for 15 to 25 age group people. So what is the role of this? The pursuit of excellence would have to inform all activities of the diet in which context, if we have two interrelated aspects. There are two main aspects. What is the diet? Excellence in the institute's own work. That is to show excellence in our work or helping the elementary and adult education systems in the district in achieving excellence. And the work that is being done in the district, the organizations that are working for elementary education and adult education will also help them in achieving excellence. That is to say, for the excellence... Sorry, my eye is a little high flow. So the institute should develop excellence in their work and the organizations working in the district, elementary and adult education systems should also help them in achieving excellence. What are the functions? This is what we have to read in this video. This is what is mainly asked about what the diet for teacher education is. So the main work is for the research and in-service education and training for elementary level teachers. So what is the work? Mainly training. The second number is resource support and the third number is action research. That is, the most important task is to provide education. Then it supports the resource in some ways like in the form of extension, guidance, development of materials, in the form of aids, in the form of evaluation tools, etc. And action research. Action research is to increase the study of the topic itself. This means free soul education. Free soul education means that a small level of research is done for a short period of time so that you can solve the problem and the result of action research cannot be generalized in any other context. This context is specific. So the main thing we have to read is the training for induction level and continuing variety. That is, the student who is going to go to school will be given education. As the elementary level teacher's teacher is full of recruitment, it will be given the same way. All kinds of training helps the diet. So elementary school teachers provide both free-service and in-service education and training. In addition, headmasters, head of school complexes and officers of education department are up to block. That is, the officers of the education department or the school complexes and the headmasters also have the work of training and diet. In addition, instructors and supervisors of non-formal and adult education. That is, the center of adult education in your life, which is of non-formal education. Instructors and supervisors also have the work of training and diet. In addition, DBE, DBE is coming in full form, abbreviation is coming. DBE means district board of education. BEC means village education committee. The village education committee and the district board of education are the members of the community. The youth and other volunteers and elementary education want to do the work of training. In addition, resource persons who will conduct suitable programs for the target group. The target group is teachers of elementary level who have the work of training, headmasters, head of school complexes. The resource persons who will conduct their programs will also have the work of training and diet. Then, you have understood that the work of teacher training is the work of teacher content, elementary level teachers will also have the work of training. So, mainly we have to read the pre-service and teacher training in the diet. So, what happens in pre-service teacher training is that as per the standards of National Council of Teacher Education in Delhi. Now, NCF is the National Curriculum Framework. It is also a framework for teacher education. It is also a framework for school education. So, now, we have NCFTE. What is this? NCFTE is the National Curriculum Framework for teacher education. NCFTE is the National Curriculum Framework for teacher education in 2009. In 2009, the National Curriculum Framework for teacher education came. After that, no curriculum framework came. Although, NEP 2020 has said that the new NCFTE should not come. So, according to the standards of National Council of Teacher Education in Delhi, classes are conducted for training courses as prescribed as per the standards of NCFTE in New Delhi. Classes are conducted for teacher training courses as prescribed in DL Ed for elementary education. They are saying that according to NCFTE in New Delhi, classes are conducted for teacher training courses. For example, in DL Ed, that is, department, diploma in elementary education. Do you understand, the full form of DL Ed? Where does it come from? From where does it come from? From classes 1 to 8 for teaching. Their teacher training course will be conducted with NCTE New Delhi. And the SCERT of all states must initiate a review and reformulation of the elementary teacher education curriculum. And urge universities to review the DH curriculum in the light of the NCFTE. I mean, the previous states and states' SCERTs and State Council of Educational Research and Training should review and reformulate the elementary teacher education curriculum and in its light, in the light of the NCFTE. And the DH curriculum which is the diploma in education should be reviewed and reformed on SCERT. And according to that, the diet will be trained. Diets must contribute to the revitalization of PST through their own DH program by applying quality standards in all states. They are saying that what is PST? What is PST? PST is Pre-Service Teacher for Pre-Service Teacher Education. Ok. So, what is this saying that diet will be working to revitalize the PST as well. How? In their own DH program, they will apply quality standards in it. They must play a leading role in implementing the curricular Reform in the Light of NCFTE 2009. When the time comes, I will discuss the NCFTE 2009 and what it is. I mean, it's been 14 years in 2009, but it's been pre-signed because no one has come since then. So what is the natural curriculum framework for teacher education? What do our politicians and policy makers want? What do they want the teacher education to go in this light? So according to this, diet is the training of the teacher. Do you know what is the basic teacher training course? Basic training course. For those who have not done the beard, it takes 2 years. Then it is done with a specific BTC. They do the beard for teachers and go to the elementary level to study. So the specific BTC that is bearded is only 6 months from here. They are given training. Similarly Udu BTC is also done. So in this type of course, a diet is done in the basic teacher training. What will be done in the in-service teacher training? The person who has become a student has become a teacher. But he has to give education to everyone. So the in-service teacher education programs would work for the development of master resource persons. The main task of the diet is to make you master resource persons. Especially for training at the block level, as well as direct work with teachers with a view to continuously enhance understanding of and better quality of planning and implementation of all parts of the curriculum. Diets are also expected to organize specially designed courses for headmasters who will train headmaster, education department teachers who will train the block level officers, village education committee members, school management committee members, what is the essence of that? School management committee. The community leaders who will be the heads of PRIs. What is this PRI? The Panchayati Raj Institution. They will train the heads of Panchayati Raj Institution and block resource center and cluster resource center. The coordinators will also train the courses on diet. Now we understand how much you are a glitch. Then the in-service teacher training programs are some special common areas in which the guilds are found. One-one is TLM development, that is the teaching learning material. How to make it, how to teach it. How to do action research, there is no problem in your class, you will be trained. Planning and management of programs. How to do Neogen, how to manage it, the training of the guild. Adolescent education will be told to you. There will be courses of gender sensitization and environment education courses. Adolescent education, gender sensitization and environment education. These are the basic issues that should be told to all the students and teachers. First you train the teacher, the teacher will train the teacher. Then your teaching learning is related to TLM. You can come to make it, you can come to do action research and you can come to the planning and management of the programs. These are the basic teacher training courses. There is diet. Apart from this, there are many sections of the diet. W.E. Work experience is related to the diet. What does it do? Organize various activities like cleanliness, drive, repair, maintenance, beautification of the premises etc. To promote work experience. We have read in the work experience that we need to inculcate the dignity of the child. To dignify the child and accept the child by seeing the child. To do that, we can do cleanliness work. We are doing repair in schools and colleges and we are making them maintenance, to ensure that the child's son has a small tummy, some beautification premises are being done so that he develops the work experience in the children. Organized activities related to related to social services. Then the second section of the branch is the Discrete Resource Unit. What is done under this unit to develop and implement plans for the universalization of education in the district. To organize training related to women empowerment, population education, teenage education, AIDS awareness, this type of work to organize training in the district. So that you can achieve the goals of education in the district. You can get help. Apart from this, these are the programs for the Interaction and Innovation and Coordination Unit, which is known as IEFIC. What is done is to make the annual calendar of the diet. Which training will be given, which scope will be given, which block you have to visit, where you have to monitor, how you will do the evaluation. The need of training in the district can organize subject based and theme based training. First, the need to identify where you need to give training. Then the program will be organized. To prepare and implement annual plan of district education research forum, this is the new IEI abbreviation, district education research forum, DERF. We have to make it, we have to implement annual plan. Apart from this, the material development and evaluation. The new textbooks are coming. Review the curriculum, update it, remove the portion. To identify and develop learning material as per the local environment. The most important thing is to get a diet so that the local needs work according to that. To conduct training regarding diagnostic test and remedial teaching. I think that you know about diagnostic test and remedial teaching. And education technology. What will happen in this technology? Everything will come in this. In education technology, the programs will come. To organize training regarding development. And use of low cost teaching aid and audiovisual material to conduct training regarding use of technology in education to give you to make communication effect. How you can influence the environment. How to make low cost teaching aid audiovisual material. And to collect my educational data. The entire planning, management of this. The focus areas of the diet are based on the activities of the diet. Who tells them how to work. According to NCF 2005 National Curriculum Framework 2005. Then NCF TE 2009 The National Curriculum Framework 2009. The reflective teacher and manual for in-service training of NCRT 2007. The operational guidelines for BRC CRC is good GUI Government of India 2010. And other such recent documents that have been providing ideas regarding the directions for teacher professional development work. So mainly what to do is development of teacher. What level of teacher elementary level of teacher. How to do pre-service teacher training. Why? Because we are universalization of elementary education. And that is why this is happening. So that teacher professional development is suggested in the NCF teacher's professional development. As suggested in the NCF 2009. All programs involving teacher education need to be tailored and connected to the goal of professional development. Tailored means if you take your name and make it your dress will not come to anyone else. Similarly, if you make it for any district why? All needs, resources, speciality and everything is different. So what we will do is conducting and supporting pre-service teacher education in the light of NCF TE 2009. Conducting and supporting in-service teacher education. Conducting high quality pre-service teacher education programs for the education of elementary teachers. Organizing and supporting the organization of effective professional for teachers at the district and block and cluster levels. And developing modules for in-service teacher education to be conducted by other agencies to be offered to teachers of the district. So our goal is to plan pre-service teacher education We plan pre-service teacher education and in-service teacher education and do everything in the same way. Conduit. So now the diet is complete. What is the background for professional development? What is the vision? What is the mission? What is the philosophy? What is the role? What are the functions? Then the diet will be complete and complete like this. There is a lot to learn and learn for writing, for your competition teaching examinations. There are so many questions to be answered. So in this way I have completed diet in holistic way in totality. So thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel Explore Education. I have done it from my side.


I'm Senator Ellington on the line. Thank you. The paper that you had, had it too thick. Oh, I just had a little fill-in came out. Get your day-to-day and you... All the lines were busy and I abandoned it. Well, I've been... I've been very busy going over the state. Yeah? Our section of the country, uh, what... Well for you, except... I was in support of the audience. Yeah?  You topped Goldwater Boundary at barely 1,000 votes. How are we doing? In Mount Parish, uh, Turbo only topped that two times as much. How are we doing? The Third District, uh, went for you almost, uh, your national average. That's where I live. That's good. Well, that's wonderful, isn't it? I'm sure glad I didn't know how to stay program. I'll tell you that northern part, as well as the Florida Parish, as you know, the Negro question was predominant. That's right. And I...I didn't understand it. I knew it was awfully... Yeah? Yeah, impossible. But I was really disappointed with the Northeast Parish, where I, uh, talked to Boggs the day before the election. He said everything was hunkidory. But it didn't turn out that way. Yeah? Yeah. I don't know what caused it. Well, we'll just have to work on them. Well, I hope that you take a good rest, and that you don't, uh, rush yourself into more work until January. I'm not. I'm gonna take it a little easy. I wish you would. I'm gonna take it a little easy, my friend. There's anything I could do to give assistance on your foreign policy. I'd like to talk to you sometime about it. All right. All right, we'll...we'll sit down. This business is pretty rough. Yeah? We'll sit down. What do you think we ought to do in Vietnam? Well, if it were left to me, as I said on many occasions, it might be that this is more of a civil war than anything else. It has been that way for the past seven, eight years. And, uh, there were a lot of dissidents that grew up there, and, uh, in my estimation, uh, a DM, of course, didn't try to take care of those two pockets that give us the great trouble we had later. Now, of course, uh, I've got all my reports, uh, Lyndon. I'd like to go with women over here personally when I have a chance. All right. Before anything is done there, because it's gonna be another second career, you know? And our army people tell us we can't get out of there now. We've got to stay there. And we're spending quite a bit of money there, you know, and sustaining two divisions there. And if we don't mind out, we'll have another, uh, another second career in South Vietnam. Oh, yeah. I'll put you there. Yeah. And another thing, Lyndon, is to strike. I notice where Rusk is in, uh, Western Europe with the NATO. I believe we've been a little too liberal there.  Now, those are things, uh, I don't want to bother with them now. But I've studied that carefully. I've been on the ground. I know what I'm talking about, I think. And, uh, as I told you two, three times, I think we have entirely too many military missions abroad. These military missions, you know, keep things straight up. And, uh, it's my belief that you could save money there and, uh, have bought a lot. All right. Okay. Well, we'll get together when we get back. Okay. And, uh... Thank you for calling me. All right, uh... I sure enjoyed seeing your grandson, Tyler. Well, I tell you, they're very proud of that. They're fine boys, aren't they? I enjoyed being with them. We're going out fishing this afternoon. Well, good luck to you. Good.


What's up everybody and welcome to the latest edition of the Falcons final whistle podcast I'm Scott Bayer looking through the zoom technology at Tori McElaney and Ashton Edmonds Coming to you after another unwelcome results and let's be honest a series of them the latest which came on Sunday of week 15 was a 21 to 18 victory by the rival New Orleans Saints over the Falcons and This was yet another one that comes down to the wire Tori McElaney and I were joking on Saturday that we weren't sure what was gonna happen But we were pretty sure it was gonna end with a three-point swing either way Yeah, we got that part right and again unfortunately for the Falcons It doesn't end well for them. They now fall to five and nine But just because of this result doesn't mean that there's nothing to talk about in fact There's quite a bit because this was a lot to talk about absolutely. This is Desmond Ritters a lot This is Desmond Ritters NFL debut we have Tyler Algier going full-on beast mode We have another disappointing result and we have a weird wild Will this ever end with a victor NFC south where Tampa Bay loses Carolina loses Atlanta loses The Saints when everybody's bunched together in a confusing and absolutely maddening way That I don't really think is I mean, it's I don't even know if it's entertaining. It's kind of just become sad a little bit Those things that I think it has become It's taken on a life of its own and I don't know if I like it It's like it makes it fun and I feel like I've talked about this before where I love it when You know NFL teams are kind of all on the same level I think that's when you have like the most fun games league wide I mean we just saw on Sunday how many over the course of this week 15 How many games like took a last second swing or a significant comeback or anything like that? The NFL is at its best when kind of everybody's on the same level. I think but the NFC South right now is just Bonkers it's really wild to sit and think about all the different outcomes that we could have in the next three weeks Right, but none of them matter until the Falcons Figure out themselves, right? So this is going to be an inward-looking podcast almost all the time We get to the end of it and we say what's the state of the NFC South? Well, the state of the NFC South is that Tampa Bay leads it at six and eight every other team is five and nine But it doesn't matter that Atlanta's on the bottom it wouldn't matter if Atlanta was in second place what matters is that they are not doing enough good things and not Are not putting together a complete enough performance to come out of these games with a victory. They've lost Too many in a row. They've lost too many in a cluster Troy, what did you say five six? I Think it's six of seven now six. I think it was five I think it's five of six before we went into the bye week Well, call me on that right but but we're gonna go ahead and focus inward about what the Falcons did about how Desmond Ritter and Tyler Algier and the defense did and where the Falcons go from here more than Let's try to figure out some mathematical tiebreakers in a way that the Falcons can still win the NFC South that's for only if they get on the winning track and finish really strong and Perform better in close games than they have recently Before we get to all that big picture type of stuff before we break down Desmond Ritter's debut This was one of those situations to worry where they were down 14 to nothing early Then it was 14 three at half then they came storming right back ultimately fell just short What it what did you make of this Falcon Saints installment on? its own I Think that when I go back and look at this game What will stick out to me will be that it's kind of fall it followed similar Patterns to what we have seen this Falcons team be in 2022 and what I mean by that is you know You have a bin, but don't break defense, you know The it looked like the defense was breaking at the very very beginning of the game, you know Like it didn't look good I think all of the defenders in that locker room would tell you that their start was not what it needed to be But then you look at what the offense was doing and the run game was so so productive And you have over 200 rushing yards And this is now how many games that they have had over 200 rushing yards and not actually won the game That is We know what this run game is we know how good it can be and the fact that the Pass game is not catching up to the production of the run game continues to be Something that I think we talk about weekend and week out and I tried to like Say this throughout the week that just because Desmond Ritter was starting didn't mean that that was automatically going to fix It's like the problem that they have in the pass game and the lack of execution that they have in the pass game That's a lot of pressure to put on one person Um, it's it I think it's a collective Issue that the Falcons have had from the beginning of this season to where we are now We're now in week 15 with what week 15 has just ended We're going into week 16 of the 2022 season and this has been a consistent Talking point. I think of what we've had to talk about about this offense, particularly as we've gone through this season Ash and why are the Falcons struggling in one score games? Man, honestly, I think I look at the first quarter Um, same score twice in under six minutes. I think I was that's big the defense gave up two critical touchdowns and you can't let a team get a lead that early into the game like It was in the first quarter. Um, and I think that really hurt them early on I definitely think the defense held their own in the second half, um, which they played really well They were really solid But I think that first half start is what really hurt the Falcons early on they just it couldn't find a rhythm They were giving up way too much chunky art edge um The the secondary was getting deep left and right and I think that's something that they really have to Home in on but I would say what really hurt the Falcons in my opinion was that How the the Saints really got off to a fast start and scored two touchdowns in under six minutes Yeah, look last year. They were seven and two in one score games this year. The record is a lot worse Um, it's mostly been coming close after early deficits like ashen pointed out and kind of not being able to finish the job That they kind of chip away chip away chip away and can't really seal the deal They've done so a couple times and those have been fun wins to watch I think more more often than not it hasn't gone that way and something that I feel like torian I've been screaming for the last 12 months is that the the Performance in one score games doesn't travel, right? Like there's too much randomness to assume that that can be like a foundational quality of your team with the exception of if you got a brady rogers Manning ask person at the helm, right that that's like the that's the i before e accept after c type of situation But they haven't done well enough They they are getting into early deficits. They are battling all the resiliency the the the fighters There are lots of things that we know about this team But just quite not quite good enough to get over the hump and I think tori brings up a good point that inserting a 20 An early 20 something year old in desmond ridder wasn't going to magically solve all of their problems when I think a lot of people Maybe unspokenly thought that that they thought well There's a lot of critical mistakes that we can pin on the quarterback if we get a new quarterback Those like those mistakes won't happen and if we were going from veteran to veteran. Maybe that's one thing but we're going from Veteran who you know what you have versus an unknown commodity an asset Where it's his first nfl game and there's so much to adapt to so tory yeah, and also like he I mean, he's a third round pick too. You know, it's not like we're talking about a first round pick in the 2022 nfl draft It's not like we're talking about the expectations that were put on like trevor lorenz or zack wilson or Even justin fields in their first years like I feel like desmond ridder's trajectory has to be looked at through a different lens because There's a reason why Some people don't get drafted in the first round, you know, like it's it's not like this is all like Oh, like he fell all that way Like there's a reason why guys are taken when they're taken and so I think you have to think about that too when you're watching A guy who hasn't taken a true live snap since august right Yeah, okay, so let's just look at the stat sheet not that it means a whole lot and then tory We're going to let you break this down because you talked to arthur smith the desmond ridder to several people about desmond ridder and his nfl debut desmond ridder 13 completions of 26 attempts 97 yards a 59.3 passer rating six carries 38 yards with a long of 18 The stat sheet doesn't inspire confidence But I can tell you I can promise you one thing that we're going to do over the course of the next four Final whistle podcast, I guess including this one is we're going to look at the stats because they're there for us But we're not going to stop there. This is about the eye test. This is about the ear test for us as as journalists What are the experts saying around us? What are they seeing and what are we seeing as we Use a fine tooth comb to try to dissect and find little moments of positivity or negativity About desmond ridder's performance beyond the box score tory give us a synopsis of what you wrote about and what The falcon said about desmond ridder after his nfl debut Yeah, I think it starts off with what arthur smith was talking about where he made the comment to desmond ridder on saturday Before he'd ever taken a snap on sunday and he made the comment to desmond ridder and told him look like It doesn't matter if you go out and throw for 400 yards or 100 yards against the saints That's not going to define your career And I I say that because I want people to understand That this these next four games include well including the game that was just played the saints game It's to me. I look at it more as an evaluation period to decide What direction you want to go in 2023? I know that people are like, oh like we're playing for wins and everything like that and yes, you still are because yeah, you're still in it But I I need to be able to see if there's something that can be built moving forward Really thinking about big picture stuff. And so with that in mind I thought what arthur smith and desmond ridder both said and not just them but chryslyn strum as well was that desmond ridder excels In all of the pre snap stuff. So like getting the call in Getting everybody set everybody understands what the call is everybody knows the timing He's not running out of time with the the play clock Like all of those things he commands the offense very very well That's something that they talked about gosh even back in rookie mini camp Even back during training camp that this is a guy who mentally understands Leadership and what he needs to do as a quarterback in this role So I say that to say that I was actually very pleased with I agreed with what desmond ridder and and arthur smith said about his command of the offense and Something that was really interesting when I was looking back at it The falcons actually weren't penalized a lot in this game against the saints like hardly at all They only had three penalties as a very very few Penalty is thrown or penalty penalty likes I apparently can't penalty flags thrown penalty flags thrown. Okay All of them those three not a single one of them were based in procedural penalties by the falcons offense And to do that as a rookie quarterback in your first start And not just that but in norlands was I think very impressive to me But even in that it's like okay, so pre snap stuff is there the leadership stuff is there the intangibles are there But then desmond rudder said he was like I wasn't executing In the past game and that's true. We can look at the stats and see that we can watch the game and see that There just wasn't execution there and I think a lot of it did have to do with Ritter being in his first start. I feel like every quote-unquote mistake that he made was a typical rookie quarterback mistake and that's not me like giving him an out or anything It's just kind of what I see and I think too It was interesting kind of hearing desmond rudder talk about it as well when he was like, yeah I would give myself a c-minus Or a d. I thought I was really good in the pre snap stuff, but post snap That was where the execution kind of fell apart so I say all of that and I don't know. I feel like I'm I feel like people are going to be like, oh you're making excuses and and everything But I I said all week long like it's not fair to Say that desmond rudder is going to come in and completely change the way this offense operates and that he's the savior of falcons The ball is just not fair to do that at this point in time What happens over the course of the next three weeks for desmond rudder? I think it's so Important to where the falcons go in 2023 and 2024. I know that's a big long spiel And I'm sorry if you've made it this far. Thank you for joining me on this segment of tory won't stop talking Scott please start talking Ashing what ashen what were they saying about desmond on the broadcast? Honestly for the most part they were saying that desmond was doing really good Um, I know I saw a stat or not a stat But I saw like something about how they were kind of comparing quarterbacks who played in the warlands their rookie years Um, I think it was they talked about like seven quarterbacks not only think two of those quarterbacks including a robert griffin Uh, one in the warlands their rookie season. Um, so they were basically saying that playing in the warlands is a very tough and hostile environment And that desmond handled everything really well. Um, I think over the course of the game He did handle everything really well Um, like those first deep Balls that he threw in like the first quarter and he talked about in his post game pressure like tory said he was you know Trying to be perfect might have been a little nervous But I think as over the course as the game went on you could started to see his confidence and his Comfortability within the offense. Um, and I feel like he did really good in his first nfl start These last three games will be critical for him Um, but I think after he goes back watches the film and see what mistakes he can capitalize on I think uh, he's going to really well these last few games Yeah, I I look at it and you could see there were times there were times where He was a bit hesitant, right and I go back to what tory said about The mistakes that were made were mistakes that rookies make right there were on two instances Where there were two near interceptions and there was another example where he just didn't see the guy coming, right? He that that some the nfl defensive backs and linebackers are very good at making Somebody seem open, but they're really not right and I think that desmond fell victim to that a couple of times As people are known to do who haven't played in a game for three months and are playing at this level for the first time Again, I agree with you somebody I guarantee you will show up in the youtube comments and be like 98 passing yards or 97 passing yards The end he was terrible. Okay And you are allowed and entitled to that opinion. That's fine. He played a part in this loss No doubt about it But I think that what I said at the top of the ridder conversation Is that we're trying to bring a nuanced outlook to it, right? And if this is our baseline and this is our this is exhibit a what's going to happen in exhibit b I think arthur smith even said look He's got a big challenge. It's going to be cold in baltimore. Lamar jackson's coming back The ravens are desperate and it's on a short week Right, that's a lot of challenges But he said that's a good challenge because he wants to see little subtle signs of progress little subtle signs of Progression or regression. Well, we can't have any of those things because this is our first example So that's what we're trying to look at here. I agree. He was too amped up I arthur smith said that plainly. I think that that was evident. The guy's got a fastball. The guy's got a cannon Maybe we could see some more loft Maybe we could see some more touch and some more decisiveness But that's us being nitpicky the bottom line is the passing game's efficiency Didn't improve enough to beat the saints They the defense allowed 21 points as I always bring this up charles woodson told me if it's 24 or less That's all the defense can do 231 rushing yards What else do you want? Tyler algear who who we're going to get to but it's also about desmond ridder's candor and desmond ridder's Understanding that it wasn't too big for him tory and I were walking up to the press box across the field and desmond Was running by himself and he did not look straight. He gave us the uh dual p sign pre game by the way pre game This is pretty game. Yeah, he was totally comfortable afterward He was honest in his assessment If he gives you a bunch of coach speed or quarterback speak player speak or he thinks he did better than he did Those are warning signs Instead you have offensive linemen with good reviews saying that that the communication and the assignments were clear The pre game operation was good. What we need to see improvement on is post snap execution Identifying the right guy and be being confident that you've identified him there's plenty on this tape to coach and I think that those are positives because This is a four game evaluation. This is not a decision of whether he sucks or he's great based upon four quarters of football As ashen pointed out in new orleans it got up to 120 decibels there We know because they kept bringing up that meter Constantly during the game back and forth back and forth open air press box Like we don't have glass in front of us like we do it a lot of places and so it really was loud at one point I think I yelled at scott like just not mad just right and and and just yell But nonetheless we welcome the comments if you don't like what we have to say here comment back and forth We can engage in a productive keyword productive dialogue Because it's going to be important to evaluate where desmond is and did he inspire enough confidence to Lower quarterback on the priority list. Let's not forget that quarterback is a priority I would anticipate I guys. I don't think it's inaccurate or unfair to say I would not anticipate marcus mario to being on this roster next year despite his contract status running through the 2023 season At some point you're going to have to add through the draft through free agency through a trade How much are you paying? Versus That will tell us more than anything that said in front of a microphone what terry and arthur and kyle smith and falcons brass think about the number 74 overall draft pick we could go on all day on this We're probably going to go on constantly about this, but we have three more games Right, we have three more games to talk about this and we're going to keep talking about it And we're going to keep learning and our opinions are going to keep getting refined That's the good thing about a four game period. So let's take this as one chapter in four and see what happens from here But we've spent a lot of time on one rookie drafted in the third round Let's spend some time on a rookie drafted in the fifth round. Why don't you? Hold on wait before I do have a question. I'm so sorry before we move on to a different rookie I do have a question when I was talking about um You know desmond like intangibles the mentals are there getting the play call in is there and maybe not like the physical Parts of being able to execute in the past game is not quite there yet not on the same page yet Would you rather if you're like looking at a rookie quarterback?  I mean, I'd rather deal with the mental side of it first But I also think That what you're talking about with with post snap execution some of that is mental too Some of that is pull the trigger and fire. He's got a quick release. He has a strong arm There are physical attributes there, but there's that decision making under fire that I think needs to improve So I'd rather have A professor Peyton Manning type. I think over anything else But that isn't discounting I think the fact that Desmond's got the tools it's just about using them at the right moments more than anything Yeah, I think I said I think I wrote something along the lines of you don't need to change Desmond Ritter You need to refine him and I think that is where I think that's where I would leave everybody With this as we end this Desmond Ritter discussion I think that's where I would leave everybody is like Desmond Ritter doesn't need to change who he is They just need to refine Kind of what it is that he's doing so that there is better execution. Yeah, and that's a long process I think but so let's move on to Tyler Algier Career day very early in his career, but man, did he look good or what third one to 43 yards? He had a touchdown I'm just going to read the stats and then Ashton you can break down tyler's performance here 17 carries 139 yards 8.2 yards a clip for a rushing offense that was averaging 5.9 yards a carry Against a defense that is tough along the front And was loading the box and somehow a rookie from byu who has a preferred walk on Ran all over that defense Ashton. What did you see? What did you hear from tyler and from those who talked about him? Look man, tyler is honestly one you can argue that tyler is one of the best running backs in the nfl Atlanta has the fourth best rushing offense in the nfl in tyler. I would hear his production has it plays a big role in that Um, what we saw today against the Saints man, he showed up in every way in every aspect I think he converted on six or seven first downs They continued to give Atlanta's offense second chance or you know second and third chances But um, he showed up big not only on the ground, but even in that two-point conversion Um, that great run. Great run. Yes. That was a great run He bounced to the outside and extended the ball over the pylon But I think like Arthur Smith said his instincts. Um, and he's a he's a very smart player And he's only a rookie and I think you know down in the in the future Of his career, he's he's going to be one of the best when when it's all said and done But I think um, you know, he's he's definitely a bright spot for our lannis offense and just for the team in general And I think um, you know for him to be a fifth rounder man I don't think anybody expected him to come out the gate like this and really, you know Really have this much production. I mean, I think the ringers bill Simmons He said he even said the least covered NFL story this season is Tyler Algier Being a best-running bag That might be his opinion, but that I think this is a story that you know should continue to get more spotlight because He's he's doing amazing as a rookie and I think he's exceeding expectations Yeah, I think Arthur Smith said he's he's a guy that you don't want to keep tackling over and over and over He's a volume guy And yet he was really efficient in 17 carries I don't know. He just seems to Kind of get it as an NFL runner. I'm always more impressed by You know, we talk about like what what we like in certain position groups. We want, um Cerebral quarterbacks, right who can make the good decisions pre and post nap Uh an underrated feature that I like which is always why I love Levy on bell and his prime is patience, right? It's about knowing and he wasn't maybe even Super patient, but it's about knowing when to hit the hole when to give up On a run and bounce it outside when to make the right choice. It doesn't necessarily mean That you're sitting around waiting. It's just let's pause. Let's take a breath And make the right choice and I think that we're seeing Tyler do that And then when he makes the right choice, then he's a bowling ball and that and that tory I think it's it's fun to watch and it's fun to watch him develop He was inactive in week one and now he's running for 139 Yeah, that's what's crazy is is kind of how he has It was like a slow burn almost with tyler alger where you you didn't necessarily You knew that the falcons drafted him for depth, but if you are talking about this falcons running back group, you're In august you're talking about cordial patterns and damien williams Tyler alger is kind of there, but it's kind of he's kind of on the back burner He's not really the star of the show per se he was The I don't want to say the one good thing that the falcons had going from them for them on sunday But he was the most productive that thing that they had going for them on sunday against the saints and Something that desmond redder said and I even asked him this question in the middle of the week when we first talked to desmond on wednesday Before the saints game and I asked him I was like, you know the fact that There's like this old saying that the the best friend of a rookie quarterback is a productive run game and How that kind of adds a little bit of comfort to desmond redder going out there against the saints and you know, it's not Do or die if he can't connect on so many throats well Yes, they lost the game But you do and then I thought it was interesting how you fast forward that to you think about that conversation on wednesday and fast forward it to today where desmond was like tyler algear is almost like in the run game in general is almost a Security for me like I don't worry when i'm handing the ball off to tyler that We're gonna get anything less than like five yards and arthur smiths kind of said the same thing He's like, you know, we were running it out of clip of almost six yards of carry. Why would we stop doing that? so I I think tyler algear and not just tyler algear, but quarter l paterson and This offensive line talk about stories that I think a lot of people are missing right now is the improvement of this offensive line as a collective group and a desmond redder was sacked four times against the saints but their run blocking just continues to impress me and I I do think that There's just a lot There's a lot to be happy with with this run game and I said this after the game I think I even tweeted it like I don't have any issues with the falcons run game I need the past game to catch up to that productivity Yeah, and that's what I wrote about it is that passing efficiency right now is the missing link to their winning formula It's just not pulling enough weight. It doesn't have to be the second coming of war and moons run and shoot It doesn't have to be patent manning With crazy hand signals and omahawk or the you know second coming of Those types of offenses It what it does need to do is it needs to be a bit more efficient and play off of how well that they're running and Burn teams for putting eight and nine people in the box and let's say the run game doesn't do well enough And you got a hit on a third and seven then that's what you have to do And I know it says in our script to go defense here Um, I I do want to hit on two more things though One is a rookie and one is dean peas at the very end of it as we kind of wrap this thing up The first is drake london, right drake london had a good day today in terms of again If you just look at the box score, you're looking at 11 targets seven receptions for 70 yards Um, he also had on fourth and five say what you will about desmond ridder's Or the flaws in his game on fourth and five do or die moment He delivers a perfect strike to drake london That was a clutch read a clutch throw a clutch play And drake london gets the ball knocked out of his hands And a lost fumble a lost opportunity that happened at the saint 39 yard line Then and and then you got two minutes left and you can at worst You can set yourself up in the middle of the field for the most reliable kicker in football outside of justin tucker To give young way a chance to at least tie it, right? That's not what happened the saints get the ball Drake london did talk to the media. He easily when asked for an interview He could have said I got to go somewhere else at the doing he could have made up any excuse He did not do that. He talked Two or three separate times and I want to bring up one quote to you guys I didn't include it all in my tweet, but I I think it's important when talking about the fumble one He brought it up himself He was talking about the game and he said that game would have looked a little different and I'm paraphrasing right now That game would have looked a little bit different if I didn't drop the ball, right? And I think that's an important thing For someone in his position To have to say You know and basically what he said is on a couple different Occasions he said we just have to figure out a way to get over over the hump I don't think my play helped he got a hand on it I have to be better with ball security better situationally and better overall In the game and then later on he talked about that same play and he said I'm not I'm not going to be at all happy about it. I just sold the game It's hard. I'm a competitive person And for me to let the team down and let the fans down it just sucks It's a hard pill to swallow That is honest truth right after the game when your emotions are still firing. This guy is a good player I think he's motivated by these welcome to the nfl moments. He's not a guy that puts the ball on the ground I thought it was honorable for him to do that and I don't think this will impact him long term I think it's important in these moments. I think it shows maturity for a young player and now I'm in Scott never shuts up mode here toy is that Um, I think it's important in those moments, right fans may not care if if a guy talks or not But he stood up there. He owned it. He said how much it bothered him and I think that those types of things that's good It's good professionalism and you know, it's going to motivate him Moving forward. He doesn't seem like the type of guy to make the same mistake twice Right. Yeah. No, I think that's all really good take and I you know, we saw You saw you see glimpses of what drake london can be and I think about that catched it like Right down the sideline. I think when he was cutting back across. I'm not sure I it all runs together at some point Was it a 100? Yeah, yeah, yeah that one. That was That was nice Yeah, you see these moments and then you but then you see the fumble and I think it's I think you heard it with I mean you think about all the people that kind of spoke on camera after the game Who's desmond ridder drake london And tyler algear a lot of other guys spoke on camera for sure But those were the ones that I saw as I was kind of walking around and those are all rookies Those are all guys that are going to be here for the next four years. So I think it's important that they do have these welcome to the nfl moments because you do learn something from them Yeah, and uh Ashen go ahead. Oh, yeah, I was just going to pick you back up for what you said Scott just about his maturity I think a lot of young sometimes you can see a lot of young players lash out and and get mad and be really emotional But from watching on cb it seemed like he walked over to the sideline and was just trying to keep his composure Um, you could tell he was really mad and really disappointed in that play But I think like you said his maturity and the way he handled himself After the game speaks volumes about his character who he is Yeah, um, and then one more thing just we have only a couple minutes left before zoom Officially boots us because I'm too cheap for the upgrade Is this what happened early in the game? Please go read the statements issued by the falcons, but Dean peas was standing on the field during warm-ups talking to Someone there was a collision between him and a player He was carried off the field in a stretcher taken to a hospital and evaluated It was a scary moment tour and I were on the field at the time I didn't see it happen. I don't know if you did Tory, but nonetheless, it was kind of a scary scene More than anything else. I just didn't want this whole podcast to go without Us saying how much we like and respect and care about dean peas part of working for a team Is you really get to know some of these people better in cafeterias and on airplanes and those types of things It was a scary moment for everybody on the sideline. I thought I thought frank bush called a really good game But it's nice to see dean peas was able to come home on the plane And you you could tell how much he meant to everybody in that moment Um, and it's great to see that he's going to be okay. It was pretty scary in the moment though Yeah, it was really scary. You know, we send out, you know, all all the get well dean peas vibes that we can Because I mean he's a y'all know how I feel about him I did a whole two series podcast three series story just about dean peas in his 50 year coaching career So, you know, you don't need me to go into all that but It was very scary and just seeing the concern of everybody on the sidelines from Arthur Smith to terry font know to players to coaches and I think I I think the start of the game I mean, I'm not trying to make an excuse for anybody but like the start of the game I can't imagine because of when this happened Before the game started it was like 15 minutes before the game started. This was a very quick Process where the falcons literally had to see dean peas get taken off the field into an ambulance You're having the coaches are all huddled up trying to figure out. Okay. What's what are we doing next? What are we doing next and then you have to go out and perform and that's really really hard to do but You know at the end of the day as good news is I think we could have gotten He was able to come home on the plane with us and so Um, we send off all the vibes and we're just I think everybody's just really thankful that it wasn't Worse than it was because it was very very scary when we're kind of just standing there Watching him get worked on on this on the field Yeah, so uh for us to be in this, um position again best of a kind of bad situation but I at least just wanted to You know say what to I said and just kind of Extend the fact that you guys kind of see him in press conference moments.
