| 0:00.0 | Tuesday edition of PFT Live here in Indianapolis, the room's starting to, starting to, we were here first. |
| 0:09.7 | We were here early. |
| 0:10.6 | There's no a murmur. |
| 0:11.7 | It's starting to fill up a little bit. |
| 0:13.1 | I noticed when we got started, our guy Bob V's here helping us out today. |
| 0:17.4 | I noticed on the other side of the curtain. |
| 0:19.6 | And I've been meaning to ask him during a break, like one of those radio people over there who prides himself on being really loud was making a lot of noise. And I saw Bob walk away. And then when Bob came back, it wasn't as loud. I have a feeling Bob went over and said, hey, man, can you shut up? Can you shut off a little bit? Can you just tone it down? Other people are in here trying to hear themselves. |

| 0:58.8 | One of these two can do it on your behalf. |
| 1:01.9 | Franchise tag for Kyle Pitts, Senior, Falcons Tight End. |
| 1:05.7 | This is a great story. |
| 1:07.5 | Now, it's not great that the Falcons are going to tag Kyle Pitts. |
| 1:10.8 | It keeps him from going to the Kyle Pitts. It keeps him from |
| 1:11.3 | going to the open market. But his quarterback in his rookie year, his only 1,000-yard season, |
| 1:17.9 | Matt Ryan, is now back as the president of football operations. And for his first order of |
| 1:22.9 | business, he applies the franchise tag to the guy he threw enough passes to that he had a thousand yards as a rookie. |
