It 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:33.520 all starts right now. Welcome to the Command Center Podcast. 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.760 I'm Logan, Paulsonate with Fred Smoot and Santanamausin. As always, 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.920 we are presented by Cognier Technology, Secure Today, Shape Tomorrow and. 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:46.480 Boys Playoff Show, Playoff Show in the Dance. 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:48.239 Let's go. 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.680 But before we start talking about Tampa Bay, which is 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.320 gonna be a big part of this show, We're gonna 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:56.400 have a quick, very tight review of the Dallas Cowboy game. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.480 Important game because it affected seating. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.000 But you know what, we're in the playoffs, all right, 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.440 let's just start with high level thoughts from both you guys. 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.520 Will start with Tanna and get moving. 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.039 I mean, I mean Honestly, for the first half, man, 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.040 I was kind of scratching my head, wondering, what are 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:10.479 we doing? 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:11.080 What's going on? 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.880 Yeah, but I feel that right, Yeah, I think for 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.680 the most part, man, I had the same feelings I've 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.560 had the last three to four weeks, where I knew 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.720 it's gonna be some adjustments many second half. Now I 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.559 didn't know if it was gonna be a quarterback change, 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.360 but I knew the defense was going to come out 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.120 of little stiffer. And to say the least, the defense 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.800 played phenomenal in the first half because they allowed them 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.240 to get in the reds on, but they help didn't 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.480 allow them to score. So yeah, man, it's just one 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.320 of those things. It seemed like this has been our moo, 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:38.360 you know, for. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:39.319 The last few weeks. 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.280 But like they said, you can call it a luck 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:43.680 or you can call it that we just know how 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.720 to win when it's time to win, and we. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.200 Did just that. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.640 I had fun watching the game, watching Let's put their 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.760 mobile lap. I just enjoyed it. It was one of 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.000 them things. And I got to give props to the Cowboys. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.680 The one thing they never did this whole year. They 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.160 never gave up, no matter who got hurt on they team. 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.680 To me, Treylant's played well well enough. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.400 Surprised by that, actually, I mean I shouldn't be surprised 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.400 because he was a third pick overall, but like he 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:07.760 looked just to feel. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.919 And the funny thing about it is, can y'all believe 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.040 this his fifth start? 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:13.200 How did you give up? 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.399 It's him and Anthony Richardson. I'm always like, man, they've 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:17.400 played such. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.600 Such little football that I don't really know what I got. Like, 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.720 if I'm Dallas, I want to resign this kid and 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.480 move forward with him. And I thought Michael parsing them, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.800 they came off the bus ready to rushed to pass 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.160 man like. And that's why I always tell people, man, 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.280 divisional games, I don't care what your record is, they're 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.520 not finished. Sit down and just let you come in 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.680 there and beat them up. So I thought it was 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.040 a game that we earned it. And I'm gonna tell 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.359 you what really just did it for me? The story 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.880 book end into a twelve season win. The only thing 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.959 I needed Terry mclaughan to do after he caught that 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.280 ball was just run to run to the locker room. 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.120 That was a walk off touchdown. 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.359 It encapsulate what this whole season has been about. We're 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.320 gonna we're gonna grabbed it out, We're gonna get to 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.160 that last play. I think that's the picture of the year. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.480 Terry catching that ball. Unbelievable. UFL is thank you all 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.480 for taking us on this ride. It's been great, no doubt. 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.480 Yeah, absolutely, and he you know, Tenny, you talked about 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.960 second half adjustments, but also think like the offense just 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.959 kind of dudes made plays offensively in the second half. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.400 Like I think about Oz making that tough older catch. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.760 Terry had probably three of the best catches, just catches 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.560 I've seen. He had that slant which was down in 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.359 the way, Yeah, kind of fell back and caught it, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:28.960 that dig where he kind of had to come back 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.000 to the ball, and then obviously the touchdown. So dude's 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.000 making plays for Marcus, which was really impressive. And then 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.320 I'm glad you brought a Michael Parsons. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:35.520 Man. 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.800 Is there a player in the NFL that wins as quickly? 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.280 I haven't seen a pants Lawrence Taylor all over again. Alt. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.560 I mean, and I didn't watch enough of LT growing up, 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.920 but the highlights just showed like the most dominant at 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.360 his position, like, Bro, it's not a play that he's 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:55.920 not causing, have it, you know what I mean? 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.720 And when I saw them come up there that first 0:03:58.760 --> 0:03:59.560 couple of plays. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:00.560 Like when we got to say, the first play of 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.720 the game, I'm walking to the suite like, bro, I 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:03.640 know we can just get a sack. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.040 And the third I think it was third down. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.720 So I stopped by TV before I got to the 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.040 suite and I'm watching they had the entire defense on 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.080 the line just sitting up there ready to you know, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.280 the s piers back. So I'm like, bro, yeah, it's 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:15.200 gonna be one of those d of. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.600 Games for him to be a legit past rush of 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:18.040 the way he is. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.880 When you think about pass rushing, the first thing come 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.320 to your mind age they putting him in the a 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.600 gap saying go woo a center like this, this is a. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:27.440 Different caick Man. 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.880 I have to give him his proper he's he's dominant 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.160 at the things he's Actually. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.520 I was questioning about just him when it comes to 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.200 the things he do off the field with all the podcasts, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.080 and it's actually, you know, because you don't see too 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.160 many guys of his caliber that vocal, you know what 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:42.720 I mean, like, it's been a lot of guys and 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.440 Donald dominated every year. You didn't hear peep from him, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.599 and now you get a guy that's actually dominant in 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.599 his own right. I'm talking about to say the least, 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:52.560 and he's. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.040 Gonna speak on it. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.480 He's gonna speak on who he thinks the favorite, how 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.880 he feel about his coach, about every topic. You know, 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.279 this kid, this guy has something to say about it. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.320 But the way he plays the game, let him do 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:03.480 what he do. I'm going to say. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.440 I like what he said on the podcast at the 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.680 Gay He was like, Hey, that JD five, Yeah is 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.000 the truth, and he said, we can't get mad. They 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.720 got they lick back. They went out there and they 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.880 took the game. So sometimes it's just what it is. Listen, 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.760 if that's all I got to worry about for him, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.599 I would love to have him in a commandment. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:20.960 Man. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.040 I do a lot of like evel on pass rushers, 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.440 like do reports and stuff. And I don't think there's 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.279 a person in the NFL who can win as quickly 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:28.440 as consistent. 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.120 I think it's so disruptive. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.680 And another thing just talking about in the second half 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.800 obviously was great for Mark Smurrio to the offense in 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.520 the first half. I also thought was just not quite 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.599 on the same page, you know, like a lot of 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.880 incomplete passes, penalties, sacks, negative plays, And it was nice 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.200 to see them kind of figure it out, you know, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.839 And that was great. See then let's hit the defense 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:54.479 real quick, defensively. Kind of a funny day because I 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.120 actually thought, on the whole pretty good, probably three or 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.680 four negatives that really stick out to you. Yeah, and 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.320 then obviously the red zone stuff is great, So I 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.200 don't know how you guys feel about that was great. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.159 Yeah, but I didn't think we played the rub every 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:09.680 well like that. 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.359 That bothered me, that daddle because to me, when I 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.839 looked at his yards at the end game, oh that's 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.720 all he had, because I thought he was at one 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.440 hundred plus yours. So this one thing that we're going 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.880 to have to fix moving into the playoffs. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.520 It's making people earn the run game. I'm also interested 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.200 in seeing. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.919 How they do things up front because I know that 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.320 we got, you know, back, and I feel like that 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.640 youth that we had from Johnny Newton, man, it. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.320 Just was a difference. They don't get a love and 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:40.680 and when I. 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.640 Saw those guys get their little sprinkles here and there 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:43.360 throughout the season. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.600 When you know Jay Allen was healthy. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.800 It was it was a different type of you know, 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.000 you know play down there. And to me, I'm still 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.120 questioning this cause we questioned this some years ago. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.919 Do Jail and Paine played way well together, you know. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:57.279 What I mean? 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.760 And so it's just it's because sometime to me, I 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.640 feel like Jay Allen gets a lot of double teams 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.360 that time. Yeah, because I saw a couple of times 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:04.800 they were double team and I saw he was he 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.120 was he had to get some wins. I mean they 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.360 had first game, Yeah, they had some drafts. But I 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.720 will say this also out of all the games, because 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.800 we know this is going to happen, your dB United goes. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.920 Those wasn't penalties on Saint Jus. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.600 The second one was perfect, like how can I do? 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:25.640 What can you do? 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.600 As far as the situation where he was at, he 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.040 put his head back. But I just feel like he's 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.400 created this kind of thing with itself by having so 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.920 many situations they waiting for waiting to see twenty five 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.960 in that spot, So you right about it, Joe. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.600 Was really frustrating. I felt I felt bad for talk about. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.920 Because I saw him, like you can tell it, tomorlized just. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.720 A tremendous play really, just like he didn't play it perfect. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.760 And again that's the thing about him is he does 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.720 that where he's like he's in good phase, he's playing 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.200 with good position and just never quite works. 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:55.480 Out for him. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.120 It's about finishing and uh, town is right once they died. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.679 Is on you and they're like, all right, he's handsy, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.120 like they ain't gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.080 And he didn't get the benefit of the doubt on 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:08.800 that pass. 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.200 And and I understand how the fans where I could 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.680 hear fans all over Americas not again. I just know 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.240 it because I have been in that spot. I have 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.800 been that defensive back. But it's a he's a guy 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.520 we gonna need in this playoff, so we need his 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.160 confidence to be there. And I know how it feels 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.520 to get that letter of Monday that wasn't a pended. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:29.400 It's too late too. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.840 And not only that, it's just a simmer fact for 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.320 being the guy that was called against knowing what you've 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.079 been going through. Yeah all season long, man, you just 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.800 that's what that's what hurts guys. Because you got to 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.320 be tough skinned in this league and just period, you know, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.640 and this guy's went through you know, turmoil when it 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.520 comes to just those college's period. So I'm just glad 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.640 though that we can actually speak on it and show 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.240 the good about it, because I feel like if anybody 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.760 out there that you know, that understands how critical we've 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.600 been all year loan with that position and this guy's 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.640 in general. Man, to me, that was perfect and you 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.000 could tell he's getting coached up. Somebody's taught him, you know, 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.199 get got in his ear and told him how to 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:07.960 play it a lot better. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.560 Yeah, it was. It was really great. It was great 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:10.959 to see. It's too bad that it was a penalty. 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:12.920 And again back on the run game stuff, it's just 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.800 that's it's it's frustrating to watch y'all twenty two, yeah, 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.040 because it's really just like. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.600 One gap, one guy playing the whole team. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.040 Yeah, you know, one guy's spilling it the wrong way, Yeah, 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.000 taking it on with the wrong show. And again there 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.439 was no explosion. I think the longest run of the 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:27.600 day was like thirteen yards. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:32.880 Orf like that just adds up five six, seven yards. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.480 And uh, and it just shows you kind of how 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.520 when the offensive line's playing well and the back's kind 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.439 of making them better, it can lead to one of 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.720 those days. You know, it's funny because it wasn't bad, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:44.240 but it wasn't good. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.040 Yeah it was. It's it's a weird thing. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.000 Tell me this because I know you watched tons of it. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.040 Man, I didn't get a chance to ask that much 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.520 post game, what are you seeing from our run game? 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.240 And I know a lot of the one of the 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.880 big reasons is not having to beyond Yeah he's a 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.720 he's a into part of that whole scheme, but just 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.960 with the times, whether he was there or not, what's 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.120 been you know, on a handicap, right, So yeah, let's just. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:08.760 Talk through it again. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:09.000 We can. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.319 We could probably do a whole show on this, So 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.040 I'll try. I'll try to keep it nice and tight. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.440 The main thing is, I think when you look at Dallas, 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.199 just check out what they did yesterday. They had seventy 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.480 eight plays, so basically eighty plays. So they're getting first 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.600 downs or finding explosives, they're fishing on first second down, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.120 and it allows you to run the ball more, you 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.960 know what I'm saying. And so we only had eighteen 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.560 attempts yesterday, you know, because of situation. The situations again, right, 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.200 and think about it, three or four of those are 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.520 quarterback runs. So in terms of backs getting carries, it's 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.280 not very high because we can't We've mained. Yeah, you 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:41.760 got to sustain, maintain the drive. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:42.360 We don't do that. 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.319 So when you look at the run game, you say, 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.160 there's times where b Robs not trusting it, there's time 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.520 where the offensive line is aren't targeted correctly, there's. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:50.920 Times where they're not winning one on ones. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.800 And when you compare that to Dallas, I felt like 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.600 Dallas was just more consistent with the targets, more consistent 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.440 with the back trusting it. But to your what you 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.960 just said there, Tanna, they had more bites at the apple. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.120 And when you look at how effective we've been in 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.079 the rushing game over the course of the season, b 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.480 Robb's getting twenty opportunities, but we're running seventy plays. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.720 But we also got the other odd ten run from 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.160 quarterbacks and reverses and stuff like. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.120 That, and it really comes down to just holding the football. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.079 Because again, like the first run of the game I 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.840 think is a perfect example. This Dallas runs a little 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.520 line stunt right, and the run is a little mistargeted. Right, 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.640 They're not going to the right guy, the combinations aren't 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.400 going to the right guy, and as a result, it 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.280 ends up being a gain of nune. So on the 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:34.920 sideline when I'm walking back and forth, I see the 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:35.680 A line coach being like. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:36.640 Hey, we're gonna take it here. 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.200 So if we got to run that run again, yeah, 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.160 it's probably gonna be a gas. Yeah, but we never 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.640 get back run yeah, because we had to punt and 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:45.760 we had a bunch of three and outs in the 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:46.160 first half. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:47.920 So I think it's it's a combination of everything. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:49.920 I do think having the Odish back were really and 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.199 I don't think Deeter played poorly, but again there's a 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:52.760 reason he's not. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.400 It's it's a difference in. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.920 And you know, I was a backup for a lot 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.160 of my career and I understand, I understand, and so 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.800 I have a lot of empathy for Dieter for sure. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.000 But getting him back in will help with the targets, 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.600 to help with some of the one on one matchups, 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.320 because again, like he does some stuff that's really special 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.960 in terms of blocking nose guards, really fitting combinations, creating space, 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:13.199 so getting him back in there. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.000 I think all big so and answer your question. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.479 It's a lot of stuff, and it's it's just frustrating 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:19.959 and it's frustrating to watch. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.680 Because because we know this and when we play in 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.959 that base ball is when we run in the ball 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.240 and control in the game. And I think that's what 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.079 we want to get back to now. Think about it. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.280 The games that we ran and control the ball, blowouts, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.040 games that we did we win in the last play 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.280 it again like so, but what I do like, they 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.520 finding ways to win. 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.520 They don't care how the game goes, but they find ways. 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.320 And I'm really glad you brought that up because to me, 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:44.720 it's like in the first half, it's like all the 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.120 offense is clunky and everyone's like, oh, it's because Jayden 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.600 wasn't playing well. Jane actually was seeing it pretty well, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.880 but just wasn't hitting on some stuff. Yet if the 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.320 run game's cooking, you probably don't probably don't notice it. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.960 You probably don't notice it, right, And so when Superman 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.679 can't be Superman, it really negatively affects the offense. But 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.800 the other thing you said there, Fred, which I love, Uh, 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.360 they won the last player of the game. This is 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.760 the fourth straight victory coming here on the last player 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:09.920 of the. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.079 Game, which is cardiac command. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.120 This mind blowing, amazing, mind blowing. 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:16.120 I think it's a skill. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.040 It is. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.079 I think they have learned how to win no matter 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.320 what the situation is. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.320 How many time have we been in the situation at 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.640 Layers and lost. How many time we sat here and 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.760 say we was in that situation. So when you have 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.680 a knack for knowing how to finish, and that's the 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.000 that's the key word finish. And that's something that dan Quinn, 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.360 you know, emphasizing being a player. Like just to hear 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.120 some of the some of the some of the guys 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:48.040 you know talk about what he preaches about finishing, it 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.520 shows you, like these guys understand, like it's gonna be 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.760 games where we gotta it's gonna be money, but we 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.040 gotta find that cliss part. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:55.559 We gotta find our way out of it. And that's 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:56.040 what you've seen. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.600 You've seen time and time again that somebody stepping up 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.319 to the rides of the challenge to make a player. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.800 And our quarterback is starting to get that, uh, that 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.520 aura of himself Like Tom Brady gets about to last drive, he' 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.920 all gonna lose. Like Patrick Mahoon get the ball to 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.920 lands drive, You're probably gonna lose. Well, you know, Jedi 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.199 five is starting to If Jedi five. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.960 Get that ball, you might lose. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.680 Is almost at the point that where you got two 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:22.680 guys that feel that way. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:23.920 So it might be just our offense. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.040 Our offense have that or about hey, when we get 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.000 the ball in our hands, it's time to go score. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:28.880 Yeah, most definitely. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.280 It's definitely something they practice, something they talk about, like, 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.120 you know, the the end of the end of the 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.120 game there right, there's twenty three seconds left. Understanding that 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.160 you can take a shot to the middle of the field, 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:40.840 you can get up and spike it. Yeah, you can 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.200 take one shot to the end zone as opposed to 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.920 avenue kick a field goal, like when we played the Bears, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.960 like they screwed up a lot of those situations just 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.200 not knowing. And so to me, that's also a testament 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.200 to Dan like because he knows it right, Like when 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.760 you talk to him, he's like, he's like, that's my 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.120 area of the like I handle situational football statteas and 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.200 so like for him to kind of have everybody got 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.240 locked in that aware. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.840 Did you see the safety with his left hand up, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:05.520 left hand. 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:07.080 We win. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.280 The Marcus Mariota run he has by the way, he 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:11.200 thought it was a time for loss. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.280 Yeah, Marcus Mariota could be the best ball handling quarterback 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:21.000 in the league. Kenley in college when he was at Oregon, 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:22.920 they was running these r p O. 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.960 His ball, his his he is if you want if 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.320 you're high school coach, you want to. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.080 Know how to run. 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:31.560 Job. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.440 He hides that ball, and he hides it and his 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.840 ability to like glide it and then pull it in 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.880 put it at the last minute. A lot of quarterbacks 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.240 can't do it. And then the other thing about that to 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:41.880 Fred and you can tell it because he did this. 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.040 That organ a lot, you know, like they run that 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.880 mid line like midline zone read, which is instead of 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:47.480
