I'll start 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:31.800 with you, Well. 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.200 Fresds that I'd be kill hero. 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.880 He's gonna be a flash because he's so fashed. You 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.600 probably run backing time. I've seen him making time doing again. 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.400 I've seen him do that in real life already with fourth. 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.280 Down he ran baking time and first down all over again. 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:46.440 What about you? 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:46.920 Do? 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:47.199 You know? 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.760 You said Thor I like Captain America.

But also then 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:58.840 you think about it now that I'm older, it's got 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.720 a lot of money. Yeah, Like the money kind of 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.440 like like swings it the other way, so it's not 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.680 just work ethic and grind it's like he got a 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.120 nice inheritance from his family.

He 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.160 One of the things I've always said is crazy, because 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.080 I tell folks is all the time, you know how 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.560 like we don't see ourselves as fighters. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.639 You know, you look at that guys. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.680 He's an MMA guy, he's martial arts, you know all 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.960 this stuff. I always wanted to know how to just 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.640 hit people pressure points like this, get teach me how 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.000 to just be able to go up and mess you 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.600 up real quick without having to fight. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.320 You just want to show up like Spock. 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:21.919 And it just took. 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.679 I kind of found that interest in all my life, 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.000 always said that I want to learn that. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.600 But I took did never like wrestle with people who 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.160 like know what they're doing or fighters who know what 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.280 they're doing. Here tell So I took a boxing class 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.200 once and there was that there was an instructor. He 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.480 was probably one hundred and fifty pounds, yeah, and he 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:38.960 was in there We're gonna spar and I was like, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.160 I'm gonna mess this dude up. And yeah, he had 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:42.920 a full like padded suit on and you know, like 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:43.760 a head gear and everything. 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:44.480 So I was like, here we go. 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.160 And so I started just like throwing hard body shots 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.480 and it got to a point where he could tie 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.760 my punches up where I couldn't even touch them, like 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.640 probably like midway through, like probably thirty seconds in the 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.919 first round, I could not hit him. And I was 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.280 like and then I was so tired, and I was like. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.320 What he's about wear me out? 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.720 He dropped fifthar b. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.560 So yeah, when you that is like take a superhero, 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.400 take a super hower when you get to those guys 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.280 next level. All right, so let's talk about this weekend, 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.400 let's review the game or this last week and excuse me, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.040 let's just do the Philadelphia game. Guys, what are your 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.040 kind of high level start thoughts to start the conversation off, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.840 We're getting to like offense defense here in second, but 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:22.960 what are the high level thoughts? 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.440 Well, my first approach when it came to just pregame, 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.839 we were talking about what do you want to see 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.320 from this team. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.600 I want to see the competitive game. I think I 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:31.280 got that. You got. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.560 I literally set up there. It was like, damn, they 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.560 gave me what I want. Then I also added to 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.200 I said made a bit. I want to see the 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.320 game to be so competitive, meaning that at the end 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.840 it's going to be one of those games where the 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:41.520 best team. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.360 One play is going to win the game. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.080 And it was exactly that, And I feel like it 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.960 could have went anyway when it comes to just how 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.160 the outcome, you know, you know went, but from our standpoint, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.400 that's what you want to see. When you go into 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.400 someone else's home, you know, you can't go in there 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.800 with the mentality because I've been hearing the whole radio 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.880 talking folks who just it's crazy, how up here? 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:02.360 Man? 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.880 And I've always found this, you know odd, you know 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.160 when it comes to just listening to people who talk 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.640 sports and ready when you're the hometown team, you know, uh, 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.480 you know this jockey or whatever you want to call 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.400 those guys, I find it odd when they talk negative 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:17.880 about that. 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.640 It's a lot of hate. It's a lot of men. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.120 It's like after one game, it was already like, oh, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.680 it's a boat race coming you know. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.720 It was a bad game, but yeah, I like, how 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:27.240 do you go. 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.400 Far from I'm feeling this, what's going on. I'm loving 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:31.920 the energy from this team. And then you know, the 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.000 next regard, it's gonna be a boat race coming up. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.720 There's no chance to win. So you know, when I'm 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.760 hearing that, I'm saying to myself, this is why I 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.800 didn't listen to this when I was playing the game, 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.760 because like, bro, don't talk. Then if you don't, if 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.120 you ain't got no love, just keep it, you know. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.560 Because I think that's the thing is I think people 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.720 think that we as football players are like happy when 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:51.560 we play badly or. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.039 I don't know. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.960 We want to win football game. You don't want to 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.560 put that out there. So it's just like we have 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.440 pride in what we do, and that was it always 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:01.160 found very frustrating. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.080 I like that y'all was just talking about boxing because 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.960 that's what I'm compared to. That's what I want to 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.000 see in this game. I want to see a boxing match. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.600 And I saw what I saw. Sam how go blow 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.560 for blow with Jalen Hurts and say, you know what, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.919 I'm a quarterback that's trying to get on your level 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.120 and I am coming when blow to blow with him. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.320 I want to see that trench warfare with the offensive, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.960 live defensive, live both sides. 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.440 I saw some deep charge going to war, blow for 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.400 blow with Jaylen calling, and dude, how about that? 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:27.040 How about that. 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.039 With Gates cosmic? I saw some war going on in there. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.800 Then I flipped the page again. Our defensive line gets 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.240 the best office line in FOOTBALLFIC. I saw some brawl fists. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.600 I saw Mike Tyson abanda, I seen somebody ear get 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.080 bit off. I seen it all all in one match. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.680 I saw everything I wanted to see. Yes, we came 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.039 up short, but it's like your son when he knocks 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.800 the knock on the door and come in the house, like, yeah, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:51.880 I got in a fight at the park. 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.479 What happened? I followed him back then I got a 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:55.039 black eye. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.920 I'm proud that you you took up for yourself, and 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.440 that's what I felt like the team did nicely. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.520 In the next kind of segment, is there such thing 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.400 as a moral victory? 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:05.599 Like how do you feel about it? 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.520 Because like, Okay, you just said you're gonna put your 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.520 thumbs down, but you're proud of them, and I think. 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.880 But I don't believe in more victories because the casino 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:17.120 ain't giving that more money. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.800 Like, at the end of the day, you won or 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:19.279 you lost. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.480 So now I gotta say this, though, you know, when 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.159 you're playing and you had these games, you more hot 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.159 about the fact that we're. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:27.279 Supposed to win these games. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.360 You ain't thinking about the reverse about yeah we hung 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.120 in there with them, No, man, we gave that game 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.039 and so at the end of the day, we a 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:35.960 better team than them, and we feel that and we 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.440 can't wait to play you the next time. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.240 You know, I'm not one of those guys that look 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:40.040 for him as a player. 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.560 You know, as a player, I can see every guy 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.960 in that locker room probably discussed it about how it 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.360 feels today knowing that man, we just went They gave 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.520 us their best shot, and we probably at home, we 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.800 probably got screwed a couple of times from calls. We 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.479 could have easily won. That game could have been in 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.359 our favor. But when I look at it from a 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.680 fan standpoint and a guy who's watching and covering this team, 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.880 and you said it, proud, I'm proud that they went 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.839 out there and play made up for what they showed 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.080 at home. We could go and not only just a team, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.800 certain individuals, you know what I mean, especially your quarterback. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.280 When you have a young guy, you know how much 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:18.240 is you know, determined on his shoulders and his legs, 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.360 everybody you know, and it's like, you know, when you 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.280 watching the game, especially just hearing people talk about or 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.280 comparing them, I'm like, yeah. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.800 I feel you. We know that he can play. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.320 He showed that already, But what can we do as 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.160 an offense that helps him? Because you know, when you 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.680 see a quarterback that has tendencies of doing some. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.720 Of the things he's shown. Yeah, okay, now we got 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:39.200 to adjust. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.880 It might start with the guy who's calling the plays 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.520 I have to adjust and make this offense. I can't 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.440 keep putting him in a situation where I know he's 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.240 gonna be detrimental to itself. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.680 So I saw that he bat has. 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.040 Been in his backs from from week one, but I 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.520 saw him go a little further and say, let me 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.960 protect them a little differently, but still get to what 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.200 I'm trying to get to him. And that's what I 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.880 love the most about it, because you see the growth, 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.000 you know, as a whole. Yeah, not just from individuals, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.600 but you saw the guys or who needed the rise rise, 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.880 but you also saw the team play together. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.960 We saw the bully in the school yard and we 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.000 looked him in the face and we followed him. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.080 Yeah, and I agree, man, I think, like, you know, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.360 moral victory is a kind of a bad word, especially 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.600 when you're like hyper competitive, and I think the guys 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.360 on the team probably don't feel this, you know. Yeah, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.000 But when I think about it, I'm like, man, the 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.840 quarterback played well, the offensive line paid better, the running 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.800 game looks solid. Yeah, you got competitive, you got Terry involved, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.560 you got the coordinator calling like in his bag. Like 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.120 I just remember, like they had a three and out 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:36.760 and then the next drive, It's like, what's he going 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:37.240 to come out with? 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.240 Is that a run? You want to be. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.360 Conservative, is a quick game, little sprint rolls, nice easy 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.800 seven yard completion, sets you up on a nice second 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:45.360 and three and then you're able to get a first down. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.880 So I just from an offensive standpoint, I thought there 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.000 was a lot of stuff that maybe said, you know, like. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:50.960 Yeah, that was awesome. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.640 And I just think about the composure, man, like the 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.760 composure of the team in that last drive, and I 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.680 was like, it's unbelievable, Like I can't think of since 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.360 I was like when I was playing or what I 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.559 was covering the team, like of just being so confident 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.160 or seeing a group so confident in those moments, you know, 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.480 like not not. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.280 Make the small mist not make the small mistakes, not 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.200 shoot theyself from the foot, and just continue to grind. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:13.680 And I really felt this. 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.880 People will say right now today Philadelphia own paper probably 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.840 one of the best, if not the best. I looked 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.959 at us against I mean, side by side, we got 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.920 as many ath least as they do. Even though it's 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.240 this thing of we represent Alabama christ and title here. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.040 We got their best for ten years and they got 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.120 George's best. But I saw a team. 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:35.680 That we matched up. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.120 We are, like we got as many athletes as they do. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.679 One of the things that stood out too is just 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.280 remember I remember listening to I'm not sure if it's 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.400 Terry or someone on the offensive side said one thing 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.520 we do we run that two minute drill well in practice. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.480 And I smiled about it because I remember remember how 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.360 solid we was with call them with the two minute, 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:54.920 like we got them two many, and we were like open 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.199 the score, like you knew a certain I mean, the 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.280 place was just like that. We knew like, man, when 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.400 I hear you know, we were like, because I gotta 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.719 I gotta be closer to the tight end. So you know, 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.880 I'm playing the gator position, playing the slot, and I 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.719 knew I'm basically not I'm gonna be the one that's 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.520 moving me and the tight end moving you know, left 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.640 and right, everybody else standing in that spots. But I 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.319 was watching them on that drive and I'm like, bro, 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:15.680 they got that, they got a. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.559 Bounce and they step. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.920 You know what I mean that they're confident with every 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.160 play that's being called right now. They know they know 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.719 they can go out and make a play and What 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.760 was surprising to me is that the one that I 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.800 thought could have been an easy touchdown by I think 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.320 it was Curtis. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.560 When the ball skipped the ground. He threw it quick. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.680 It was like a slant, I know what catches that 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.360 clean scores. I mean, he can walk in. But the 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.040 guy was a little you know, right there on him. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.640 But we had one second left and I'm like, man, 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.560 we got lucky on that one because but it was 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:43.800 great because he threw it quick. 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:44.720 He made. 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.560 I gotta get least that's. 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:50.240 In that situation. 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:51.640 Like games on the line, I think there was five 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.640 seconds after the game when they were running that player. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.320 Maybe six they bring all out, you know, or six 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:57.920 man pressure, so he's gotta be hot and you gotta 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.520 get the ball out. And it actually ends up playing 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.960 better for us because they got the more conservative cover 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.199 instructure for the last play and we're able to kind 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.760 of find our best matchup. Do you remember that play 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.120 we used to be called? Uh it was like I'll 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.040 go stop or something like that with Kyle right, and 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.240 you just kind of play like get open in the 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.560 end zone like kind of and find your best matchup. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.800 So love that, man, I love that there's that confidence. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.439 I love they were able to bounce back to you. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.000 I mean, yeah, they couldn't. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:20.920 Have played worse last week. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.640 You know, they couldn't played against the Bills like it 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.640 was a tough game for everybody, and then for them 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:28.119 to come out and just there's something there, right, there's something. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.240 I can't gain some respect. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:30.360 This is what they did. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.240 You didn't get a victory, but. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.240 I'm saying, I'm saying as a coach, as a guy 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.439 who played like there's something there like that you can't 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.200 define quality to the team. Yeah, that gives you confidence 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.559 moving forward. And I don't know who's responsible. Is that 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.040 Eb is that Sam is that Terry is at the 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.320 leadership whatever it is man. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:48.000 A bit of everything. 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.800 I think it's a gumbo. I think it's a little 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.080 bit of everything and this team. But like, listen, this 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.559 team is not afraid of Philadelphia. They proved that the 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.560 last two years. If that's going to be your measurony stick, 0:11:58.720 --> 0:11:59.719 we're not there far off. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.240 And so I think, like, obviously we feel pretty good 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.160 about what they did offensively because I think there's a 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.120 lot of like they were great on third down, great 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.160 in the red zone, there was some creativity in the 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:08.640 red zone. 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.600 Yeah, b Rob ran hard. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.800 Like it wasn't maybe the most efficient game for b Rob, 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.400 but he had some physical. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.120 Runs, had some good runs and then the. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.480 Old line was physical and you know, like they weren't 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:19.719 the best, but like there was a lot of. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.240 Positive stuff offensively. Yeah, the thing. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.839 I think that a lot of fans are upset about 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.120 today is the third quarter offensively. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:27.839 Oh we disappeared. 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.120 Yeah, Well, what I'm saying is, so I actually just 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:30.680 went and watching. 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.680 I thought it was bout control by feeling was but 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.679 we so that one drop that I got ride down 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.160 that drive there, I think could have been something that 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.160 we could have put together. 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.600 So what I will say is like outside of the 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.360 third quarter, they were really efficient on third down. The 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.319 offense was and then in the third quarter you have 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.440 a drop by Johann on third and four and you 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.160 have a sack on third and four the next series, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.800 and so like you just don't get to you don't 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.200 get to play football at that point. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.120 You talked about it last week all the time. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.760 I swear I love talking to you guys, because when 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.960 I'm sitting there watching the game, it's not a it's 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.280 not a down that goes by or a series that 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.440 I'm not hearing you guys. You know the things that 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.960 you guys are saying coming up, Like you're talking about defense, 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.720 were talking about when I saw aj Brown line up 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.680 on a little young feller, I'm like, French. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:14.400 Of this due accident. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.920 And then I'm like, I seen the double moves, and 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.960 and me and be missed talking about They said, well, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.319 you know he's acceptible to you know, double moves, and 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.880 I'm like, it's crazy. It's so much stuff. Watch your 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.000 aggress and then you seeing other teams knowing. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.000 Clues about certain individuals. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.640 That's when football goes beyond just the exit rose. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.040 You got people that's. 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:41.720 Really studying, studying this game. So what you said that 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.040 was key and I and I had my eyes on that. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.400 You know, it's about possessing the ball. It's about how 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.520 long can we keep the ball moving, converting on third downs, 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.640 doing what we do. And when I saw that first drive, 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.120 I was like, right there they can. They came out 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.000 to Joab. It's gonna be a long day. 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.000 They had one drive. We had one drive that was the. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.520 And that's because you're possessing the football, you're converting up 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.920 third down. Yeah, and and so I think like that, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.600 like when you look at that third quarter, like if 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.640 if you're curious, fans drop on third down, they're sack 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:10.160 on third down. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.000 They're both manageable, they're both in third and four. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.120 So we stay the chin and then I guess you'd say, well, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:16.640 maybe like the defense to be able to be a 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.320 little bit stouter. But let's talk about the defense real quick, 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.920 because I think, like you know, Ron talked about Forbes, 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.000 you know, I kind of think the defense play. It's 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.840 hard for me to evaluate the defense. And I'll tell 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.720 you why. I did the first drive and I go 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.200 through and I'm like, oh, here's a third and eight. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.560 They converted on a past over the middle of field. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.120 And I say to myself, like, that's just defense. Like 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.080 there's only a couple opportunities to like win, and if 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.240 you don't win in those situations, it's tough. 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.840 You know what I'm saying, It's like it's defense. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.360 Yeah, so the great quarterbacks? 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.440 Fine, yeah, so what I. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:46.840 Was gonna say in the first In the first that 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.040 first drive, it's like fourteen plays for them, Yeah, and 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.720 I think they were okay. I think I think Jack 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.480 likes that he likes long. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:54.560 But don't break. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.560 And then I think when you get to the second half, 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:01.080 there's just an explosion of a big big that is 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:02.200 the difference. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:03.440 Well, it go to thing about it. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:08.520
