1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,480 Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back to this in the second's right 2 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: and where we have to the ka Commas Spirit Health 3 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: highlining and bring on Brian Baldinger, who does great breakdowns 4 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: at Baldi NFL NFL Network, Fox Sports. Brian, you're on 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: with Dave Logan, Ryan Edwards and Shelby Harris. 6 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: How are you, man, guys. It's good to be with you. Man. 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 2: I'm here just leaving the media center just in a 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: couple of hours in they're just soccer football, celebrating the game. 9 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: And here I am with you guys right now. I'm 10 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 2: in a good shape because I know five days from 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: now it's a finish line and you know, and we 12 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 2: started in July. It's trying to wrap this thing up 13 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: with a good game on Sunday. 14 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 3: No doubt about it. And Baldi, we appreciate your time 15 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: and also appreciate your work. So I want to ask 16 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 3: you from an offensive line standpoint, because you played that position, 17 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 3: and I want to I think it's going to come 18 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 3: down to that when you look at these two offensive lines, 19 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 3: what couple of things do you see on each one? 20 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: And do you favor one as maybe having a bit 21 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: of an edge? 22 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: We sure I would say that, I would say Seattle 23 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: has a little bit of an edge. We've seen Campbell 24 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: struggle a little bit against some elite rushers in the postseason, 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: but I feel like Seattle does just because of the 26 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: style of play. They're a little bit more play action 27 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: than New England. They're both two back offenses, but I 28 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: feel like Seattle crazy tabels made a big difference. They're 29 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: both very, very, very good, and maybe New England gets 30 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: a few more explosive runs with Trey von Henderson than 31 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 2: what Seattle does with the loss of Zach Charbonnay. But 32 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: I feel like Seattle right now has had a pretty 33 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: good job of protecting Sam Bradford, a little bit more 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: than what New England has done protecting Drake may. 35 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: WALDI what'd you think about the Broncos offense this year 36 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: and what are some ways you'd like to see them 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: improve next year? 38 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I thought they were lacking some big 39 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: plays in the offense. I thought Evan Ingram would have 40 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: a bigger role than what we saw. I thought they 41 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: could run the ball better. 42 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: JK. 43 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: Dobbins, the loss you seem to hurt them a little bit. 44 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: You know the fact that you know, I mean Wattenburg 45 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: went down, they were down to their must for it 46 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: was our thirteen center of one game. He was in there, 47 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: so they had you know, Ben Powers went down. I 48 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: thought the depth was pretty good. I thought overall, you know, 49 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: I mean both Nicks because of his mobility, really kind 50 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: of bails him out a lot, you know, in certain games, 51 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: which is good because he's been able to up until 52 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: whatever that thing happened to his ankle. It's just the 53 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: weirdest thing ever. But you know, I thought they did 54 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: a great job of protecting him throughout the union, regardless 55 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: of who was in there. But I thought, I thought 56 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: overall they played. I thought they were missing some big plays, 57 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: you know in the passing game, and then I thought, 58 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: you know, they needed to run the ball, probably better 59 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: than what they did this year. 60 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 3: Last thing for me, we again appreciate the time looking 61 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: at these two quarterbacks. Sam Darnold has had a hell 62 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: of a year and yet with twenty five touchdown passes, 63 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 3: he's also led the league in turnovers. And we all 64 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: know how Drake May in his second season, has really 65 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 3: played Well's position and his legs are a factor. Seemingly 66 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: the more the season goes on, to look at these 67 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: two quarterbacks from from an ex player standpoint and tell 68 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: the audience sort of what you see. 69 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: Well, Drake May you know, he's got the longest run 70 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: in the postseason. It was against the Chargers right before 71 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: to half, thirty seven yards in a three to three game, 72 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: allowed him take a field goal right before to half. 73 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: He's if you take the eight meal downs at the 74 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: end of games, he's run the ball sixteen times. Twelve 75 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: of them have gone for first downs, you know, including 76 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: the only touchdowns scored by the Patriots against Denver, the 77 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: six yard quarterback draw up the middle, and so he 78 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: is a big part. You know, when Denver wanted to 79 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: get the ball back like, he didn't allow him to 80 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: get the ball back like. He was able to scramble 81 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: and beat their the coverage and you know, beat anybody 82 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: that was chasing them. So he's been a huge part 83 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: of the run game. He's run for one hundred and 84 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: fifty yards, you know, in these three postseason games. So 85 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: he's a big part of it. Sam Is look the 86 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: game that he had against the Rams the game of 87 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: his life, and Jackson Smith and Jigbu looked like the 88 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: best receiver in football in that game. And has all 89 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: year in large part because of the way that they 90 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,559 Speaker 2: move him around and position him, whether he's in the backfield, 91 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: in the slot, in a stack, out wide. 92 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: In motion. 93 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: I mean, that's what you do when you get a 94 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: number one wide receiver. You make sure that the other 95 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: team has no way of really figuring out how to 96 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: double them and how to take them out. 97 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: Baldy, Hey, we really appreciate the time, man, Thank you 98 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: so much for giving us a few minutes my pleasure. 99 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: Guys, enjoy the game, appreciate it. 100 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: All man, Thank you.
