i welcome hall of famer, tony dungy. we see how things started and the arduous trek you took to get here in the hall of fame. >> it's really hard to believe. i started at the university of minnesota. i played quarterback my whole life, elementary school, jr. high school, high school, college. i didn't get drafted. i was crushed at the time. i didn't know what would happen. it ended up being the best thing for me. i went to pittsburgh, switched sides on the ball. went to the defensive side, played for chuck knoll and learned professional football from coach knoll, learned the other side of the ball. after two years, i was traded to the san francisco 49ers. i played for bill walsh. at 25 years old, i was out of the league. the coach called me back and said, i think you would be a perfect fit for our staff. >> the coach called -- >> called me. amazingly, i got an intro into coaching at 25 years old. i'm coaching at the best place in football. >> it's also parallel with what your family life was like and the kind of influenc

we'll bring in tony dungy from our studio. i won't remind everyone that you picked the colts before the game. i won't do that to you. let's talk about how this switched so quickly in the second half. part of the story was a couple touchdowns scored by that seattle defense. they did at least remind us of how good and how important they can be as we get through the middle part of this season. >> no, they absolutely did, and this is what we're used to seeing from the seattle defense. the first half they struggled, but the second half they turned up the intensity, turned up the tempo and started creating pressure. this is what they do. they get after it, they just keep that vice on you, that defensive score to open up the second half, really started things off. i tell you, mike, if i'm pete carroll, i'm really more pleased by the play of my offensive line in that second half. they ran the ball much better. that set up the play action passes. they gave wilson time and this team, it was jus in the second half. >> confidence building.

so they gave up 41 against kansas city z that bring tony dungy in, this doesn't look like the defense that gave up 33 two game after. that new england is finding itself in atlanta's offense seems to be in search of. what did you see tonight, tony? >> well, i was definitely shock bid that, mike. rodney harrison is calling for weeks simplify, simplify. i think that's what matt patricia did tonight. no miscommunication, no guys open. but on the other side, i think the questions in atlanta are going to be what was our play calling like? they were aggressive. they came out. they went for it on fourth down twice in the first half. but there wasn't that imagination. they didn't mix formations. they didn't put people in motion. here's the third down play. first third down of the game. just line up, try to get sanu open. but you didn't see that i think that's going to be the big talk in atlanta. what can they do to get some momentum back in the offense? >> that will be the offensive coordinator. they average third down 3 a game, led the league last year. tony, thank you. see you next week. let

. >> welcome to the football set of football night in america, and tony dungy and rodney harrison, andve more questions about the patriots or the falcons? >> well, i would say the falcons at this point. i look at them offensive ly and it is not seeming that the offensive coordinator knows how to use all of the weapons in the right way, coach, but also the defense. it seems like they are faltering in the fourth quarter, and i just don't understand why. >> and yeah, dan quinn, the defensive coach can't like the fact that they have blown the leads. they need to get vic beasley back in the lineup and they have to pressure tom brady and obviously, that i don't have enough coverage guys in the b back. if they don't pressure brady, it is a long night. >> and they have to do a better job, atlanta, utilizing the backs out of the back field in the passing game. kyle shanahan did it a lot last year, and they are not doing it this year. >> it is a super bowl rematch, new england and atlanta, and we will see you football night in america at 7:00 p.m. eastern. >>> and the warriors are battling the g
