You listen. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.920 I told you my battle was Bill Belichick the mind. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.600 This was a battle of the mind and EBA's offensive coordinator. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.960 Past the battle of the mines. He and then Sam 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.200 How I really want to see Sam because going against 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.440 Belichick tells me where you're at in your growth and 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.400 in his growth, tells me I can complete the hard passes, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.040 I complete the routine passes, but I also can make 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.200 the right reads. That's what you got to do against 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.840 the Bill Belichick offense, I mean defense is you have 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.640 to go to where he the weakness is. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.200 And Sam took it all. I was pleased. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:01.400 You know. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.640 I also thought coming into the game that you know, 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.800 as much as we talked about, Belichick is gonna be 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.200 a little exoetic, gonna make the young man, you know, 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:10.800 play young, play younger. 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.400 He went out there a little Vanella early. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.280 You know what I mean, he didn't bring as much 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.560 as he but when he brought it, yeah, we was 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.600 we was ready for and Sam, you know, he responded well. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.040 So that was you know, pleasing to me. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.040 And it's not only just you know, responding. I want 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.840 to see this offense kind of pick up where they 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.600 left off at the prior week, you know, playing play 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.840 against the Eagles. I felt the offense was very productive. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.160 They moved the ball down a field. You saw that 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.400 early in this game. And I think anytime you especially 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.040 this time of the year, when you're playing against these teams, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.360 especially on the road, you need to have control of 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.240 the game, be like you always say, possessing the ball, 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.640 moving the chains, and we did that wherever you will. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.320 Yeah, And I think you bring up a great point there. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.800 Like Bill Belichick, you know, unlike Wig Martindal, who's gonna 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.520 pressure just like the bus kind of like, oh it's 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.600 first down, Oh cool, Oh it's third and two. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:57.600 Oh, let's do it now. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.960 I think Belichick's a little bit more regulated to your point, Santana, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:02.880 so like he was really in this game kind of 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.600 said when we get to that strike zone. So that 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.600 kind of that thirty five to twenty five yard area 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.080 in the field. I'm gonna bring zero, and when I 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.080 bring zero, like, what are you gonna do about it? 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.560 And I thought that Sam did a really good job 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.120 on specifically the johanauny of saying like, hey, man, I 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.280 know this is zero. I know you're probably gonna bring 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.159 six here, so let's make sure we got to tight 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.920 end down. The back is going to stay in. We're 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.480 gonna run a concept attack in the middle of the 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.359 field where there's no post safety. And that's all stuff 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.400 that Ev probably put in the week, but it comes 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.000 down to the quarterback identifying that stuff, and I thought 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.080 he did a really good job of that. You know, 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.560 some of the things that stuck out to me too 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.680 about Sam we're the off schedule plays that he made. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.160 I like some of that stuff. But also because I 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.239 think everyone's like so quick right now to like annoint 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.760 Sam is, I think there's times where he's vacating clean 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.960 pockets still, right, which is yeah. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.039 Yeah, well, well one of the things I actually doing 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.120 on the post game. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.720 Show great interview, by the way, check that out. 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.000 I asked him about some of the things I've been 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.039 seeing the last you know, two weeks, is him getting 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.440 rid of the ball early. And I was asking what 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.240 those or it was just something that he's seen from 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:03.920 over the time of playing, because you know how when 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.920 you play, the only way you can learn is by 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:07.200 going through it, going through the fire. 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:08.320 And he said both. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.400 He said, some of the things are designed, so basically 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.520 what you just talked about seeing it, you know, being 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.919 able to understand it, knowing it's coming, and you have 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.680 a you have a perfect play call, and he knows 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:18.200 who to go. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:18.880 To right now. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.680 And then at times when he didn't have it designed 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.960 or had it called, he just knew to get rid 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.360 of the football. And you saw that the last two 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.279 weeks it's been really you know, pivotal for our offense 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:30.680 to continue to stay ahead of the chains. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.000 Yeah, and I was gonna say, I think to that 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.280 point one of the things you do see is I 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.120 think EV's calling a game that is like it's it's 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.520 nice in terms of variety, right, It's got a lot 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.960 of a lot more quick game, a lot of screens. 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.200 To that point, they've gotten out of the five step 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.440 stuff too much. It's still there, still part of the offense, 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.680 but it's not the cornerstone that it once was right, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.600 they've gotten to this other stuff. Yeah, and I think 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.880 that's a great point, right, Offenses evolve right now? 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:53.760 Yeah, and they do. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.200 And what people cease to believe, Like I don't know 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.560 why everybody look at coach b Inham and be like, hey, 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.800 you've been offensive COORDINATD for like ninety three years. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:05.680 No, Like he's coached his eight game and like its coordinate. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:06.640 So he had to grow. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.960 He had to learn, Sam, he had to learn now. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.880 They had to learn everything. But everybody wanted because we 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.800 in a microwave society, everybody wanted. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:15.200 Now. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.920 Well, this took Grandma's cook and it took a little 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.840 while for them to get on the same pace. And 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.240 by the way, I seen you pick a buck out 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.680 of your nose and like two minutes ago, yeah, it 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:37.200 was let's go back here we want and watch him 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.520 slowly pick it out his nose. 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:39.320 It was sweet. 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.080 But I just thought, I'm watching something grow. And when 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.080 you watch some grow, because I plant things, it's slow growth. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.719 But guess what when it started to bear fruit, that's 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.480 when you know all the work is done. And I 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.279 think right now they're starting to hit their stride because 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.799 of protection and because the same maturation. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.520 Then now the growth. I can see the growth now. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.160 And one of the other things that stood out to 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.640 me too, man, you know we've been harping on, you know, 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.560 just seeing a little more from the run game, and 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.120 AG had some great. 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:14.800 Oh yeah he did, you know, be robbed his runs. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.600 But more importantly what I was amazed by it's seeing 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.920 us under center would have fall back. And when I 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.360 saw that, I'm like, and then we ran a couple 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.120 of times with it, and we came with the play action. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.880 You're like, brother, this is playing football. This is when 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.239 you really going into your bag. You're saying, look, whatever 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.240 you thought he was coming here with baby, you know. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.680 And even you know, even if it didn't really like 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.480 fool you. You know, if you have to respect you 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.400 have to respect it. And that's what that's what stood 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.520 out to me, that you saw us have better success 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.880 or more success when those guys were dropping seven than 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.200 we did before, you know what I mean, Or when 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.560 those linebackers couldn't really just drop because they had to 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.120 make sure that we were running the ball, you know 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.760 what I mean. So that was amazing that that amazes 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.400 me more than anything because now you see the staff 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.320 that offensive staff is really starting come together and know 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:02.120 what they have about. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.440 They're from player my number through my human computer, and I. 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.240 Computed that, like you're talking about your own brain and. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:10.080 My own brain. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:10.520 I am. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.880 I literally, I literally said that teams that carry fullbacks 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.200 win ten to eleven games a year. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.840 And that's just something that's definitely came from your brain. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.720 Listen, the forty nine Ers, the Ravens, the teams that 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.480 care right now play a physical brand a football and 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.000 they still throw the ball out around it. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.640 It's interesting to that point, Fred, with actual information, I 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.800 think the teams that are leading the league in rushing 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.480 attempts are also kind of the top teams in the NFL. 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.640 It's like, you know, you get your it's a correlation. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.360 Yeah, there is a strong correlation. Yeah, So I think 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:45.320 tennis is your point. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:46.760 One of the things about the fullback that I love 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.080 it said, it's just some different stuff for the defense 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.520 to prep form. We got a fullback in, we got 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.880 two tight ends, and we're not just in offset gun. 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.680 And the new school linebacker do not like full backs 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.880 because they are two hundred and thirty pounds. They're not 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.360 LeVar Arrington's, they're not these gold dudes anymore. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.360 They used to them because they used to. 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.080 Now that's seven on seven stuff running sideway side, you know, 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:07.880 you know, you know, there's all the good teams have 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.480 these fast, athletic linebackers. 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.199 Yeah, back in our day we had in London. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.000 Guys that's like gonna be a bowling ball coming down 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.360 coming down here. So I watched that specifically just seeing 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.800 defenses have these athletic hybrid types style linebackers, Guys that 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.120 could play safety, Guys that just you know, have a 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.200 body like you know, we have one our team, Hudson, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.360 we have you know, Jamie David, all those guys like 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.360 they can play safety and play something different. Now that's 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.440 just saying they might look that way. They're not saying 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.959 that they but most teams have. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.320 Those guys that just can run. 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.480 And when you get a linebacker, I mean you get 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.800 a fullback and have a linebacker that's not ready to thud. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.760 Yeah, it'll be a long day for that defense. Yeah. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.120 So It'll be interesting to see how much they use 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:51.480 that moving forward and whether that was just kind of 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.040 a game plan thing. But I do think that's a 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:54.960 nice wrinkle to bring the offense. And I think Alex 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.559 Arma like, to his credit, brings a sense of physicality 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.240 and toughness basically. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:09:59.959 So I think that's great. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.000 And then, you know, speaking of physicality and toughness, let's 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.000 talk about that offensive line. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:03.200 Fred. 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.640 You mentioned the protection, right, and I do think the 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.760 protection has gotten a lot better. High level thoughts, what 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.120 are you thinking about that group communication? 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.360 I see them identifying the mike, I see them the cadence. 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.040 I see them switching up different things. I see them 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:23.120 passing off rush schemes. Uh settle I think lost and 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.520 just settles them down. Well, well, maybe they was amped 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.480 up and everybody individually was trying to do their job. 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.040 Now I see them working as the Jackson. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.600 Five, and when that happens, I think you become a 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:39.040 stronger unit. And I don't like even on even with 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.520 the fact we talked about the five step drops and 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:46.760 the deep drops, I still see them forming armor around 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.280 Sam where it wasn't there. And I don't know if 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.280 it's just simple it's replacing Nick Gates lost in but 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:58.080 Chris Paul, my god man, like this dude is playing. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.920 Some good football right now. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:00.480 He is. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.760 Yeah, I think that's an interesting point about the depth 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.439 of the pocket. And I do think it's helpful having 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.160 Larson in there. I think Chris Paul, I think he 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.040 may he makes some, you know, kind of subtle, like 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.959 subtle mistakes in the run game, like taking a bad 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:16.280 angle or not sitting on the double team correctly, right. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.720 But I do think when he's in past protection a 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.640 one on one situation, he sets the line of scrimmage. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:22.760 And I think one of the things when you look 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.320 at shorter quarterbacks. And John Kinin brought this up on 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.960 his podcast, and it's something that I heard when my 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.360 tight end coach in UH in Chicago worked with Drew 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.440 Brees and Sanford and New Orleans, excuse me, and one 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:34.880 of the things he said is like, we want offensive 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.400 lineman that can create depth to the pocket because it 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.200 lets the quarterback see a little bit, right. So I 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.240 think it's like, I think that's an interesting addition. I 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.319 also think the fact they've added more quick game is 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.480 interesting because the offensive line is less leveraged on a 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.440 down to down basis. I think there's a lot of 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.040 things kind of coming together around when Tyler Larson is starting, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:54.839 and so it's easy to say, oh, Tyler Larson is 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.320 the reason they're better, But I think Sam's seeing pressure better. 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.360 I think he's avoiding pressure better. I think EB is 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.320 calling a better game in terms of insulating the offensive line. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.720 I think you're getting some of that leadership from Tyler Larson, 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.240 and I think Sam is also understanding how how defenses 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:09.160 are trying to attack. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.440 Them at lost sheer size. 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.280 He's a bigger, wide body guy. 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.320 Yeah, yeah, I was going to say wid body guy. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.319 But it is a coincidence that now you have CP 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.400 and lost in and things starting to look a little better, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.079 because if you think about it, the last game before 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.000 those guys actually started playing with that giant game, and 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.360 we saw so many mistakes on that offensive line. So 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.120 it makes you just kind of stretch your head a 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.000 little bit to say, is it these two guys or 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.600 is it that this this group you know, the coach 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.320 have had enough and say hey, you know each man, 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.719 like you know, man up, I mean, do your job, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.319 like we've been talking about that, do your job in 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.560 the last few weeks. It seems to me these guys 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:44.520 are doing their jobs. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.160 Something interesting I just want to point out here is 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.040 like I I've been maybe in the minority here. I 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.559 think the offensive line's played pretty good outside of the 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.679 New York game. So I think maybe it's kind of 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.480 if that that is a continuation. They're playing a little 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.800 bit better and it's all these other things. I think 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:58.640 that's a big one too. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.120 I just think to it, and I'm not saying that 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.080 Day was playing awful right up to the game. That 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.160 game was the wrong game to have the miscues that 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.160 they had. There was a lot of guys running free, 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.000 and it was like, I. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.680 Can't wait to play Tommy DeVito. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.600 Do I tell you that I can't wait to get 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:15.320 a piece of him? 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.520 And so offensive line skillsis and guys. It was nice 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.520 to see kind of a lot of people get some touches. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.280 John didn't exposed to play. I mean, he still looks 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.120 like he's, you know, working through some stuff a couple 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:27.920 of drops early, but obviously exposed to play. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.400 Is terry with the explosive play? 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.439 And is that just because Sam's playing better, you think, Tennel, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.400 Or is that just like he said, he's able to 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.560 tap into that potential or what do you think? 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.640 I think a little bit of both. 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.040 I think, you know, yeah, one, Sam is playing better, 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.240 but if you look at some of these throws that 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.160 he's making, we saw these these same throats early in 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.640 the season. You know, we saw him hitting some of 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.600 these passes where you like, how did he get the 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:54.000 ball there? I mean, so that's that's been being basically. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.280 I talked about Sam, regardless of winning little loss this year, 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.000 that he has to be guy or has to have 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.160 the you know, the talks that we're saying, this guy 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.720 potentially can be that guy because the throws have made 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.400 us overlook everything else. You know, just seeing this guy 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.000 be decisive with the football and getting into guys, hitting 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.760 guys downfield when they open, that's what give you that 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:16.320 kind of man. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.000 Let's put all the other talk behind because he can 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:18.680 get that, he can. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.680 Get better with that, he can make he has he 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.520 has the arm that we haven't seen in a long 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.320 time here that can and the moxy because that's the 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.560 one you know, it's one thing. 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:28.080 That happened to arm. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.200 But if you're scared to get hit, this guy's standing 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.120 in there. He's doing that. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.840 So I think a little bit of it It is just, 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.560 you know, Sam getting better, but a lot of a 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.720 lot too, what these guys have been making plays, especially Terry. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.960 But now you're starting to see the cors coming together. 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.520 Now you start to see guys like Diami Pringle, all 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:43.200 these guys are. 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.320 Making plays to make these guys prouder. 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.080 Oh my god, his career. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.320 Lord here, I'll be trying to resigning right now, right now, seriously, 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.360 Like this is when you do these things, you say, all, 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.080 I'm gonna give you a year extension right now. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.480 For you know, a meal in a half or two, 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.040 and he yeah, why not? Why now? So not? 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.560 So I think it's a little bit of both. 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.000 Right, So let's I think that's enough offensive talk. I 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.600 think we feel pretty good about whether right. 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.520 Obviously there were the two turnovers, the fumble, the interception 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.080 of the red zone. That's gonna happen. Got a limit those, 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:17.240 but young group, they'll get better defensively. Yeah, what are 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:17.640 your thoughts. 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.960 I'm not gonna get you know what. I love what 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.960 you did. You beat the people you were supposed to be. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.320 But I'm not gonna give it more from really props 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.800 because Matt Jones stinks the offensive wide receive was stinks 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.320 like it was one of those times where you know, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.320 do what you're supposed to do with the group you 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.760 were playing against. So I'm giving them props for doing 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.560 what they want to do, I mean doing what they did. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.920 To the Patriots. But I think the big test offensive 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.560 wise is gonna be with Geno Smith in the Seattle. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.520 I think I think defensively, we had a great game 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.160 going for ourselves into that fumble was we was up 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.800 ten zip and we could if we could have put 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.880 our defense in a better situation, they would have never 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.040 got on the board because we went zip to them 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.880 scoring that that one little you know, red zone shot. Uh, 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:01.880 And then they came back and had that long run 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.720 when it looked like jamn or. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.200 One of the somebody wanted somebody mixed up. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.280 And I remember watching it on the TV copy seeing 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.000 their rio look disgusted, and James said, my bads, that 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.400 gave me the notion that he did something wrong, you 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.000 know what I mean. So not to say that he 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.360 came back and played a better game, but just it 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.080 going to show you how one play can try to 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.000
