Not this week, but 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.240 obviously next week we do the show. So it's so 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.040 what happened? I think we should start. I don't even 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:12.960 know where to straightfall. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.919 That's the hard there. Let's start on the Tommy. The 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:23.840 Beato will not beat us. I felt that. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.040 I felt it too. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.280 I felt because it was supposed to have happened. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:34.160 It's just like we make things that tangibly should be ugly, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.320 we make it cute. It's like your fifth drink in 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.080 a bar. You know, it's It's one of them things 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.800 where you just you're trying to figure out how, what, why? 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.240 First of all some questions I have to ask six turnovers, 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.000 nine secks. We're still in the game too, Like if 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.360 I can bring anything in it, this team ain't got 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.760 no give up. They do not give up on the 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.560 same how because usually three turnovers and you for it 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.240 and you didn't lost their game. But they did not 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.519 let it get out of control. But I just feel 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.679 like the teams that were supposed to beat we play 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.760 down to the level and it's scary to me. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.359 I think one of the things that stood out just 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.680 watching that game is even with all the turmoil that 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.120 was going on early in the first two first two 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.639 series that we had offensively, it's still left no doubt 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.280 in my mind that they can just beat these guys, 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.000 because you saw what our defense was able to do 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.040 to stop these guys running. You saw what they was 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.720 able to do to get out to Tommy, you know 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.080 the video, And it was all about what we allowed 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.400 them to do when they got the momentum on that side. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:34.560 Because we just wouldn't get right. 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.160 So when they finally scored that touchdown, we drove all 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.480 the way down there and we couldn't score it, We 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:39.640 couldn't punch it in. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.200 That's still momentium on that side. Like, hey, we just 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:44.360 they just gave us their best. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:45.480 We took it. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.760 These guys want to give us this game. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.600 So every every series that we had a chance to 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.440 go out there and really kind of like deflate them, 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.120 showed them that, man, it's really not gonna go down 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.400 the way y'all thought it was gonna go down. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:56.760 We gave life. 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.960 And then you find yourself in a situation where you're 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.520 gonna you only have five turns over and you're driving 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.680 to win the game. And before the other interception, which 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.360 we can all kind of sit here and argue that 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.080 he was trying to get rid of the ball, it 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.040 was a lucky thing. I was leaving the building already 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.520 saying to myself, why every game is coming down to 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.720 this last Why miraculo, They don't have to be that. 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:18.400 Yeah. 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.800 So that shows you a lot about the character of 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.359 these guys, because I don't think you can really judge 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.880 a team by just losing the game. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.360 I think you judge them. 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.560 By the difference. There's suffer cuts of losses. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.120 Yeah, exactly so, But you also judge them by the 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.160 will because honestly, if you're losing half of the time 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.960 and you don't have that fight, you're going to just 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.400 let them beat you. But every time these guys know 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.440 they don't supposed to be losing, or know they should 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.880 have tooken over the game much earlier, and they find 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.680 themself in that last drive trying to, you know. 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.360 Make something as they played in this division and played 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:51.479 in this rivalry. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.960 It's the field seems curse for me. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.880 I guys, guys, it's like, no matter how good we are, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.040 the Giants always have. They were giving me trouble when 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.320 we played, after I played, before we played. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.080 Is it something to it with the one year that 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.560 we beat them twice? They want a Super Bowl? 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.720 The Yeah, that so even when we do they won 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.640 almost in the super Bowl. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.880 That's a crazy part. We don't have this problem with feeling. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.520 We don't have this problem with that. 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.440 It's something with the Giants. Think about it that that's 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.039 that's that's what uniforms. If you the Giants walking in here, 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.400 don't you feel like it is Washington? 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:32.840 Let's go serious? 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.040 Why, I mean, why is it? It doesn't make any 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.960 sense because it's different people, different coaches and this in 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.080 this in this matchup, I thought, you know, Wing Martineau 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.600 did a great job. Honestly, he deserves a ton of credit. Yeah. Again, yeah, 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.760 they kind of change up what he does a little bit. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.080 The kind of got away from kind of that all 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.840 out there. They brought pressure, but it was more five 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.240 man pressures. Found it out of a stinkle sinkle front. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.440 They did bring some zone pressure. They did bring some 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.760 uh kind of interesting pressures in that they brought They 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.680 played man with droppers kind of as the plug players 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.160 and just brought some different looks. And the other guy 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:05.280 that I think you got to give a shout out 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.080 to in this game is Dexter Lawrence. That dude was 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.520 an absolute animal and like early in the game, you know, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.719 they got a lot of pressure with four, and I 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.960 think that when you look at them getting pressure with four, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.880 it accelerated Sam's process. So there was times later in 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.440 the game, like the ball to Logan Thomas in the 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.159 red zone that would have been for a touchdown, He's 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.520 he's going too fast. Right. It's a simple concept. It's 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.800 a five yard out by the tight end. It's a 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.680 flat by the back. You're trying to expand that hook player, 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.040 get the post in behind it, and then you've got 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.919 a shallow cross running to the five yard out right. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.479 So when that mic the Tampa two player matches the 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.440 tight end, like throw the cross. You know what I'm saying. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.440 But I felt like he was so accelerated at moments 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.640 in this game because of the pressure he was getting 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:48.440 from Dexter Lawrence. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.080 They anticipated it. And this is what I can say 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.640 about Dixter Lawrence. We thought it was Nick Gates. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:01.360 It was loaned everybody to everyone. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.520 But if you know, because we've been blocking wheel the 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.480 last couple of weeks, you thought we had found the 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.360 cure for it. But like you said, through their curveball 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.400 with Winks saying, you know what, I'm gonna dropping coverage 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.200 like most of the other people playing in the first 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.440 half and switching back up to the heated in the second. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.640 And that's something we were just talking about, Like, and 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.320 I think this can probably be a question for you, Logan, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.320 we both play offense. I was looking, you know, I 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.480 feel like in certain situations I have been in, I've 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:33.680 listened to so many quarterback coaches conversations, especially being that 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.560 big team meeting room when we're sitting there that seconting 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:37.160 what we had to do. 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.280 I remember Cayli used to do something to RG. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.880 That I hated a little bit because knowing how RG 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.640 was so young, I didn't think it was gonna affect 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.160 him until I started seeing affect him. And Kyl would say, 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.560 this was the second year twenty thirteen. Kyle said, what 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.320 tan of you know? I mean, Rgi. You know, Tennis 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.360 scored on this play last last last year, so they 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.520 might be covering him. So if they covered him, we're 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.920 gonna we're gonna hit this guy. Ain't being a young 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.280 quarterback or Gi Wild look at that other guy and 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.640 look and I'm wide the hell open. Yeah, So that's 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.520 one thing, But I've also been in those rooms where 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.320 those same coaches, those those kind of you know, discussions 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.360 goes on, and it's a counter. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.480 It's a counter to say, okay, counta punch. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.640 We we did this, we're gonna do it again. They 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.520 blitzed us last time. So if they don't blitz, if 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.360 they do blitz, you know, we didn't hit this guy 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.480 last time, So hit this guy. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.559 This guy should be wide open if they blitz. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.560 If they don't they dropped back, Oh, that dagger gonna 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.800 be wide open. Or that guy seemed screaming too. If 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.320 you get too safety, he might be the throat. So 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.960 I was hoping that, Okay, that's the kind of mindset 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.600 that we should go in this game. We say, okay, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.640 we all know gonna blitz. You know, he blitzed probably 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.560 before they even got they got on the bus, you 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.480 know what I'm saying. But also had in the back 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.360 of my head that what if he don't do we 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.000 have that counter? Do we have that thing in sam 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.560 head to make him speed up and not speed up 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.439 that say, okay, don't panic. I didn't get what I thought, 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.880 but I know I got that this route coming overto. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.760 The players back, you know what I mean. So I'm 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:02.360 asking this. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.560 To you really, you know, as a OC, because you're 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.320 a OC right now in high school. So I'm asking you, 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.760 do you set the guy up with those kind of 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.320 nuggets or is it just one of those things he 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.200 has to feel and see, you know, throughout the play. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.440 So I definitely think it's something you got to talk about, right, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.560 because you're trying to make sure that the concept's good 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.480 versus multiple different coverages, right, so like, you know, if 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.000 we're running this versus man and we're expecting man, like 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.719 what happens if they do run zone, Let's make sure 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.120 the quarterback has answers. And I do feel like the 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.079 perception coming out of the last Sight's game was that 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.480 they didn't have answers. When I went back and watched it, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.080 I didn't finish. I didn't finish the game today, but 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.400 I got through the third quarter, and when I watched it, 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.520 I was like, man, you know the first interceptions at post, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.800 it's wide open. Got need a little bit of a 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.000 better throw from Samy'd probably tell you the same thing. Right. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.520 The next sequence they come out, they run a keeper. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.480 It's wide open, right, I don't care Zoner man, it's good. Right. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.240 They get the run action all the hook player fits 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:56.920 the run logan, Thomas is wide up in the flat. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.200 It's a fumble. So like you never get into a 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.400 rhythm a game flow as a play caller, as an offense. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.120 And I think that's a big part of it. Early 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.200 and I thought there were sequences right where they go on. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.280 It was like an eleven play drive run pass did 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.240 some good stuff. They never got that big chunk play, 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.280 but they did some good things and they later on top. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.360 And then you get to that third drive or the 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.800 fifth drive of the game, excuse me, and Chris Rodriguez fumbles, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.160 and it's like it's a we. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.319 Are the worst enemy. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.280 We are the worst enemy because once we get the 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.400 ball turning, here we go turning the BA all over. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.600 And the worst thing you want to give a quarterback 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.679 that searching for confidence, like the veto is short field. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.080 You give him short fields. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.880 He won throw away from a touchdown at all tack 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.719 because at least he know I got to take care 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.400 of the ball so we can at least get these three. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.720 Yeah, And I think, like to your points in, I 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.400 thought like there were times where Sam looked like a 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.720 little bit unsettled and uncomfortable, but he's a young player man. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.040 I also thought he did some really dynamic things, you know, 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.240 like the touchdown run was. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.320 Run showed moxibas what Moxie looked like. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:10:59.520 They did this him. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.040 The one thing we know about Sam, he could take 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.320 a licking and keep on ticking. 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:04.040 I think he. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.440 Didn't prove that, Like, toughness will not be questioned with 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:07.840 this guy. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.840 Yeah, absolutely so. I mean it really comes down to 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.600 the turnovers. I thought there was late it was nice 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.040 to see the run game going to That was something 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.600 else I'd like to talk about real quick. I thought 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.040 b Rob had some really nice runs wheel. Yeah, there 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.520 was a run kind of going into the two minute 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.320 situation where they run a single back power to the right. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.680 He cuts it all the way back to the backside 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.400 a gap that was beautiful. I thought Chris Rodriguez had 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.720 an excellent game. Obviously he fumbles, that's a huge deal, 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.920 but I think you see what he brings from a 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.680 patient and physicality standpoint that gets you excited. So there's 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.440 a lot of good things there. Sam running the football, 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.359 I thought I did a great job. But really offensively, 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.760 it just comes down to turnovers. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:42.920 Man. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.600 I like we could talk about this all we want 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.240 but I think there was enough. They weren't able to 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.440 find exposive plays, which was tough, right, It's helpful to 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.680 find those exposive plays, and they weren't able to possess 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:54.600 the ball long look. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.200 Just to add to what you just said talking about 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.839 the momentum shifters, I had to go back to my 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.800 notes because I wrote some notes when I was on 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.640 I Do the Little Fox five show that comes on 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:09.080 Sunday mornings. I wrote minimized momentum shifters. And what I 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.240 meant by that is just offensively, we have moments where 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:13.600 we give the ball after we're. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.199 Doing so well putting up you know, kill. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.440 We had all we had like twenty something, you know, 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.640 first down, Yeah, we're doing so well, and then we 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.160 find a way to give them the ball and like 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.080 you just said, being our own worst enemies. Like to me, 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.720 that's that's that shows a lot. That shows immaturity. You 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:35.079 asks me, it does you don't understand that how big 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.280 this moment is for us to have this ball, attain this, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.520 have the ball this whole drive and finish it because 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.360 that can change, that can make that can make the 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.560 difference within our ball game. Because we saw that they 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.680 was laying around waiting for us to just take it over, 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.880 to take the game, and you know, we just kept 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:50.319 them minute. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.320 I think that's a great point, Like it's really like 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.040 if we were able to manage this game a little 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.000 bit better offensively, it's not even a context. I think 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.959 the defense stays aggressive. I think they keep and I think. 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.320 They maybe break the reck of the ten secs. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.040 The Giants have to get away from running the football, 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.480 but when the game flow is such that it's so close, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.240 it's always on the table for him and they can 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.160 and that good game flow really mitigates rushes. And it's 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.800 your point, Fredd. You brought this up too. It's like 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:19.320 short fields. So on their first touchdown, it's a you know, 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.840 they get to a third and ten or third and 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.800 thirteen actually after a sack, and they got a completion 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.720 on a first down where Benjamin Saint Juis we talked 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.200 about this, Yeah, jumps the hitch, hits the dig The 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:29.679 very next play is the touchdown too. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:30.120 Uh. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.080 And so that's four plays for a touchdown, right, And 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.880 that's what the turnover gives you because you turn over 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:35.480 the ball on the. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.280 Forty guaranteed points, get. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.240 Forty three yard line something like that. So it's in 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.920 your own territory. And that's just tough defensive ball and 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.160 obviously the defense needs to make a play. Yeah, but 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:44.800 that's just tough. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.320 I got to ask you all guys this too, because 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.480 we all have a consensus on if we could dress 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.200 in the jersey the new ones, we will all choose 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.120 to black. We love the black, it's true, but they 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:57.720 turning into funeral. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.559 Clothes because because we like we don't even to win 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.880 in the It was on you was on Game Day Live. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:04.400 What I said. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.720 I said something about those black jerseys when we play 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.240 team were supposed to win. Yeah, let's switch it, Yes, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.000 let me play. So we played we war them last 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.679 year against Days and Ben and beat us. But I 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.840 would rather play it in someone else's home with it, 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.760 because especially the a team that's likely to beat us. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.520 So if we go out and play well, then we 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.960 switched to juju. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, but 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.280 that juju playing at home for some of our reason. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.880 I don't know why or when have FedEx Field become 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.960 a not a good place to play in because you 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.000 play against favorable competition. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.480 Yeah, with your best. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.240 You on his own and you got your most turnovers 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.040 at home. It seems to be at home. Maybe this 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.320 I said this earlier on something men Jinks was doing, 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.520 and I was like, maybe this team has a bunker mentality. 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.080 Maybe they fell well when it's us against the world, 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.280 and on the road it's us against the world mentality. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.720 So then they bring everybody in and they actually play 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:05.160 better on the road. Why not at home? At home, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:06.840 you're supposed to be at your freeze. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:08.400 At home, you're. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.240 Supposed to whipponize the cry. At home, your outfits is quiet. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.840 Whyse going on? You would think, But they seem to 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.680 relish in anymage territory. 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.080 And that's why I feel good about. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.760 Thanksgiving, I feel better about things. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:27.320 Gets well, you know, we gotta do I got Can 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.040 we talk about the defense real quick before we move 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.640 on to Dallas? I think we definitely want to talk 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.240 about that. So a lot of a lot of sacks, 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.680 A lot of good things in this game, no turnos 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.840 a lot. Yeah, let's talk about it. So because I 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.320 chart the game, I go through every single play and 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:42.720 I charted, and I give it a greade. I give 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.480 it a green or red. Right, Green's good play, Red's 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.640 bad play. And so in the first half there's maybe 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.000 first three quarters there's maybe six total red plays. You know, 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.800 like there's the scramble where Devido gets. The completion of 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.480 Sa Kuan doesn't hurt them because they punt. There's the touchdown, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.160 There's the completion of a menagement Saint juiced, There's there's and 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.520 then three others. Right after that third quarter, after that 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:08.520 big Saquon run, there's five. There's five negative plays in 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.120 the fourth quarter. Yeah, you know, like either conversions on 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.120 third whatever it is, conversion third down, explosive run, explosive pass. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.840 And to me, it just was like it felt like 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.280 the damn kind of broke a little bit. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.400 Wearing yourself down when you put yourself in bad situations. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.120 Now you got to try to play hero ball. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.240 He roball equals zero ball, because if we ain't all 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.119 playing together, all eleven of us, none of us seceeds. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.800 And what I see sometime is long drives. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.360 They get tired and they ain't got the tricks that 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.760 the veteran tricks to get done. Like I was talking 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:44.920 to Tann in the hallway and I was like, well, 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.720 man man, Sean t would have inverted that. Sean would 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.440 have been literally coming down and I'll be replacing him 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:52.400 in the middle of the field. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.280 Did the coach tell us to do it? 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.360 No, We've been studying all week and waiting on that 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.960 formation in this down the distance. Want us finna go 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.560 get it? Yeah, that's that's when you know you together. 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.320 Like we had such good communication in my defensive backfield. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.480 We only used side language sometimes, like we didn't really 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.840 need to have the verbal conversations and queues because we 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.800 said during the week, watch out for this, especially the 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:19.320 third and loan, they're gonna do this. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:20.280 We're gonna take this. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.720
