Yeah, well actually Virginia Beach. But hey, 24 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: that's right. Sorry, that's my bad. Yeah, no, no worries, 25 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: No worries. 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: Man. 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: Well, look, it was a good start, right, really good 28 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: first half from the Commanders defensively especially, and just didn't 29 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: just weren't able to stay hot. I want to get 30 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: your thoughts on as you saw it from down there 31 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: on the sideline, like what was the difference and why 32 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: they couldn't kind of keep that momentum going. 33 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a big part of our Tell the 34 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: Truth Tuesday segment, right, is like they were hot in 35 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: the beginning, they didn't stay hot. I think that's a 36 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: really good question, Scott, because, like I think they came 37 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: out with just great energy and they executed in a 38 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: way that is required to win football games. I think, 39 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: right like you see a defensively, a drive, a hustle 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: of physicality, a tackling that we haven't seen for a 41 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It was great to see that you 42 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: saw them turn the football over and versus a team 43 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: like Kansas City, you're going to need to find those 44 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: edges wherever you can. But I think the other thing 45 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: is offensively, you saw a really well called game plan 46 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: by Cliff. You saw some zone read, you saw some 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: different variations of zone read. You saw some gap scheme runs, 48 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: you saw some quick games, some screens, some things that 49 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: kept them off balance. And obviously they weren't able to 50 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: capitalize on the turnovers the same way. But I think 51 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: you just saw a very clean brand of football in 52 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: the first half. And again, like you look at the 53 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: penalties in the first half, very low number. Obviously that 54 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: increases in the second half. There's some mistakes. The muff 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: kickoff is one that comes to mind, right, the third 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: down or lack of third down conversions offensively in the 57 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: second half, and the ability to get off the field 58 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: on third den I know those things are like high 59 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: level metrics, but I do think they kind of show, 60 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: kind of they give a good diagnosis for the ailment 61 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: of hot to not in the second half of that 62 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: football game. 63 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: Well is again, as we continue with it, tell the 64 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: truth Tuesday part of it. I mean again, you couldn't 65 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: have printed out a better start against Patrick Mahomes to 66 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: get in to turn it over twice. But then of 67 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: course you know comes the second half. You see it 68 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: a million times as you watch this guy. He is 69 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: the best backyard football player. I swear that we've ever seen. 70 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: What was kind of the key to getting off to 71 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: the fast start and why could they not maintain that 72 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: in terms of slowing down Mahomes? 73 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think, like you know, like you've 74 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: watched enough football, Sky like you kind of get it, 75 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: and like I've watched enough football and played enough football games. 76 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Is like sometimes when you're playing, I think it's important 77 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: to knowledge that, like right now, the Chiefs are a 78 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: more complete football team than compared to the Washington Commanders. 79 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: They're a good football team. And so when you're playing 80 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: a team like that and you're kind of punching up 81 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: your punching above your weight class, like you have to 82 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: take advantage of those opportunities. So, like I heard you 83 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: on the post game with Fred Smoot talking about how 84 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, like you get these two turnovers, but you 85 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: don't turn them into points, and think about like the 86 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: complexion of this game versus a better football team. If 87 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: it's fourteen to seven or twenty one to seven or 88 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: seventeen to seven. The pressure on the Chiefs is so different. 89 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: And I think like one of the things about the 90 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs like that I think is underrated is they've been 91 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: good for so long that they can win any style 92 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: of football game. They're confident they can win any style 93 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: of football game. So it could be going poorly and 94 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: they figure out how to rally. They could be up, 95 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: they could be even, and they just are very confident 96 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: in them in themselves and the team and their abilities 97 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: to win the game. And so I think like with Mahomes, 98 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: you saw kind of again, he got hurt, right, They 99 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: the Commanders defense did a great job turning the football 100 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: over and and kind of rocked him a little bit. 101 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: But he's been there before, he's been rocked before. He 102 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: knows how to kind of get his feet get back 103 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: in the rhythm of the football game. He's confident, Andy Reid, 104 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: He's confident in his team. And that's the problem when 105 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: you play good quarterbacks, like I think back to when 106 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: like I would play, or my teams would play like 107 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, like you could get them 108 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: right for a quarter for a half or three quarters, 109 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: but at some point you knew they were going to 110 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: figure it out and absolutely lay it on you. And 111 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: I think Patrick Mahomes brings a lot of that same 112 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: energy and it's one of the reasons why he's in 113 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: the conversation for one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Yeah, 114 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he really was. 115 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: I was looking at these numbers from last night. So 116 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: he starts the game, you know, five to nine, thirty 117 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: seven yards of the two picks. 118 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: Then the rest of the. 119 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: Game he's twenty to twenty five, two sixty two, three 120 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: touchdowns and obviously no more interceptions. And then if you 121 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: go to the you know, Winny's in Commander's territory one 122 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: to five minus one yard the two picks to ten 123 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: for twelve one hundred and fifty to three TVs. I mean, 124 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: it's like he understands a moment, like you said, And 125 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: you know, one thing everybody's been talking about this year 126 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: with kan City, Okay, they can play more explosively now, 127 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: but you know, really last night it was it. They 128 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: were kind of more of the Chiefs we saw for 129 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: a few years ago. They'll take what the defense gave him, right, 130 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: and they got some chunk plays, but not like the big, 131 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: big plays that maybe you've seen some of them, you know, 132 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: hit earlier this year, as they've been kind of opening 133 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: their offense a little bit more. 134 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: Well, it's funny, like when I was getting ready for 135 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: the game, like I remember watching film thinking like, they're 136 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: they have this reputation this year of being more explosive, 137 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: and they are more explosive. I'm not trying to take 138 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: that away from him, but they are very comfortable playing 139 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: kind of this horizontal brand of football with the RPO, 140 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: the quick game screens and kind of biding their time. 141 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: And one of the things when you look at the film, 142 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: or at least in the prep leading up, is like 143 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: when they find their explosive opportunities, it's Patrick Mahomes extending 144 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: the play. Right, He's getting out of the pocket, He's 145 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: making a subtle movement in the pocket. He's making an 146 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: off off angle of off platform throw to a guy 147 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: that's wide open in the middle of the field after 148 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: the defense has covered for three and a half or 149 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: four seconds, And I think, like, that's what this is, right, 150 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: It feels more explosive, but like it's because of his 151 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: ability to create in the back end and find guys 152 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: that are open after the coverage has been stretched, in 153 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: some cases been broken. And again, like you can talk about, 154 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: I think, you know, the defense is culpability in that 155 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: in terms of how consistent or not consistent they were 156 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: with their rush angles, their rush path, the continuity of 157 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: their rush. But again, you got to give him a 158 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: lot of credit because that is the thing that drives 159 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: the explosive element of their offense, at least this year. Right, 160 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: It's not like they have Tyreek Hill. It's like he's 161 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: the guy that says, I'm going to sit back here, 162 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: cook spin this thing up and make some play down 163 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: the football field. And in some cases it's not even 164 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: down the football field, it's just to wide open Travis 165 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Kelcey in the flat on a play action pass where 166 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: in man coverage they've dropped him because the down has 167 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: just gone on for so long. 168 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I don't think you would ever flip 169 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: on the tape you coach young kids. Would you ever 170 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: turn on the tape and say to your quarterback, hey, 171 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: just do what Patrick Mahomes is doing. 172 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? I probably would never say that to them. You know, 173 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: you want them to be creative and play the game 174 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: but right, right, he just does things that are so unique, 175 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: and I think you know, he's he's like the modern 176 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: He's like the archetype of the modern quarterback. Right. You 177 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: want a guy who can move around. You want a 178 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: guy who's got kind of flexible fundamentals when it comes 179 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: to throwing the football, because it gives you these kind 180 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: of awesome plays off schedule, and he just has that. 181 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: I feel, like, you know, watching him this year, he's 182 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: been a little bit more off schedule than normal, but 183 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: the team has needed that, and like you said, like 184 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: he does such a great job of finding or understanding 185 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: the moment and like what the team needs, Like does 186 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: he need to scramble, does he need to push the 187 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: football down the field? Does he need to extend and 188 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: find these opportunity And he just seems to consistently make 189 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: the right decision, which is incredibly frustrating to play a 190 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: guy like that who's not going to get himself out necessarily. 191 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: It is the Booth View podcast. Everybody's out, So I'm 192 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: Scott Jackson in here with Logan Paulson. This week is 193 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: the guys make their way back from Kansas City. The 194 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: other thing that really hit you last night and I 195 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: know you saw this at the field level and you 196 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: gotta love this as a tight end. But you know, 197 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey, there was that one big play right the 198 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: thirty plus yard where he's not even in the route. 199 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: He's back there helping out with protection and then the 200 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: play extends and it extends and he'll this leak out 201 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: and be wide open and you know, run up field 202 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: for a big play. I mean, those two guys like 203 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: it's like they have telepathy with one another right now. 204 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think I just saw a statistic 205 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: or Jason got a statistic for us. It was like 206 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: eighty or seventy eight percent of his yards where aft 207 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: we're on off schedule plays and it just speaks to 208 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: like what they're good at. Even the touchdown is like 209 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: semi off schedule, like he's running a kind of a 210 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: kitch or like a comeback in the end zone. Play 211 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: gets dragged out a little bit, Patrick Mahome flushes out 212 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: to the right, he throws the ball back across his 213 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: body and Travis Kelcey's there magically with great leverage on 214 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: the DV for a completed ball. So I don't know, man, 215 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: they like watching the film leading up again, Like that 216 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: was one of the things that just jumped out at 217 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: you in terms of what made this offense dangerous. Is 218 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: like there was clips that we looked at in our 219 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: film review show where it's like there's free runners to 220 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: the quarterback and it doesn't really matter because he and 221 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: Travis are just on the same page. And so like 222 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: when you've played that much football together, when you have 223 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: that relationship with the quarterback, like that's the result is 224 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: it gets you out of stuff, right, Like that's what 225 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: the continuity of an offensive personnel gives you as you 226 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: get these relationships built. Like I think about Peyton Manning 227 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: is a great example when he was in Indianapolis with 228 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: those great receivers Marvin Harrison, Junior, Reggie Wade, Like he 229 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: could throw to those guys in the dark because of 230 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: the reps they'd bang together. And you see that here 231 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey. So again, like I 232 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: know fans are probably freaking out today and they want 233 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: to be critical of the defense, but there is a 234 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: little bit of like man Kansas City is just a 235 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: very good football team, and these offensive relationships are so important. 236 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 2: It is part of tell the truth Tuesday, hear on 237 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: the Booth Review podcast. Injuries are part of the story 238 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: with this team, right Terry McLaurin is to leave the 239 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: game Javon Kenlaw, though he said he could have come 240 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 2: back and to leave the game. Lemy Tunsell left the 241 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: game last night. Of course you came in with the 242 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: various injuries obviously, No Jaden Daniels hearing a lot in football, 243 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: more so than other sports, people say, Look, injuries are 244 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: non excuse, next man up. But that's just not real. 245 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: I mean it's not real. Your ones are your ones 246 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: for a reason. At some point, you know, there is 247 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: this battle of attrition. I kind of feel like this 248 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: this team is like at that point where it's hard 249 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: to kind of find the solutions. How do you look 250 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: at it if there's a guy that watches all this film, 251 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: I mean, is there enough depth that they can be 252 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 2: competitive and win games moving forward? Even if this is 253 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: maybe going to be the reality where they're going to 254 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: be missing people, you know, out the different stretches of 255 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: this season. 256 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think they can win football games. It's 257 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: just going to be hard, you know. And I made 258 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: this joke with B Mitch and JP last night in 259 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: this morning when I was doing their show, and it's like, 260 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, there's a reason Jordan Reid was the starting 261 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: third down pass catching tight end when I was on 262 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: the team. It's because old Logan Paulson out there with 263 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: the neck role and the mouthguard and the big face 264 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: mask isn't catching the football the same way, and so 265 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: there was a distinct drop off between the two people. 266 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: And I think there's a reason that Terry and Deebo 267 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: are making all this money. It's because of their ability 268 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: to affect defenses right, their ability to win versus man 269 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: and man coverage, explosive, make explosive plays down the field, 270 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: make plays that are unusual, and that's what dictates them 271 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: getting that compensation from the team. And so when those 272 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: guys aren't playing, when Laramie Tunseel's not playing, who's a 273 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: top five player at his position, Like, you're going to 274 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: feel the drop off to the next player, Like Brandon 275 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: Coleman played great in this game when he was playing, 276 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: but it's a difference. It's a different caliber of player. 277 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's not a knock on the guys 278 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: backing up. It's just that's that's what makes those other 279 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: guys special. That's what makes them the point oh one 280 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: percent of the NFL. And so yes, you can win 281 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: football games, but it does challenge you. And I think 282 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it more when we get 283 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: to the problems and solutions segments. But the level of 284 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: detail when you lose those explosive playmakers just has to 285 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: tick up a notch. And that's hard. That's coaching, that's players, 286 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: that's everybody walking and pulling in the same direction and 287 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: saying like we cannot have a penalty on you know, 288 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: like on a on an illegal contact down the field, 289 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: we cannot muff a kick with there's just the margin 290 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: for air for us. As we lose those playmakers just 291 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: gets smaller and smaller and smaller and more difficult to overcome. 292 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think about you know, sometimes, as 293 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: we've seen over this first year plus of Jada datals, 294 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 2: how many times he solves some situations right where it's 295 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 2: third and long and he somehow slips through the pocket 296 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: when the pressure's onto caving and finds a way to 297 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 2: make it to the yard marker. Like those kind of plays, 298 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: you don't look, you don't probably respect them as much 299 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: as you should until they're gone. And then you know 300 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: watching it without a year, like man, that's one of 301 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: those plays where you know Jaden is fined away. Sometimes 302 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: he's like you say, you just don't have that, and 303 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 2: there's a reason why. You know, he's he's a one 304 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: of one, you know, and you don't. It's tough, even 305 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: though Marcus does a great job, it's just you lose something. 306 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: And I think that's a great point, and that's one 307 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: of the reasons I am confident they can win games 308 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: because when he is at his best, he is a special, special, 309 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: uber talented football player. And I think back to the 310 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen last year that he's able to scramble 311 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: for and get a first down, the numerous fourth and 312 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: shorts that he was able to crew last year, stealing possessions, 313 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: Like it probably looks different in the last game on 314 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: some of those fourth and fourth down plays when he's 315 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: in there, some of those third long plays when he's 316 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: in there, because he does have a natural knack for 317 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: elevating not just players around him, but the offense. Like 318 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: I think back to the Bears game, which is the 319 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: last game that he played in, and the Bears are 320 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: playing all this man coverage. I know people want to 321 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: be very critical of that game because he drops the football, 322 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: he throws the interception of the red zone. But when 323 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: you watch the plays through and you're like, man, that's 324 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: a great decision to scramble there. That's a tight window throw, 325 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: and you feel him just pulling everybody along with him, 326 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: dragging the offense forward. And when you don't have that again, 327 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: like you said, I love that you said this. Marcus 328 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: is a good player, right, but he doesn't have that 329 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: special gear that some of these top flight guys do. 330 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: And so I do think that when Jaden gets healthy, 331 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: if there is some pieces around him to give him 332 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: confidence to play like this could be a different thing 333 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: moving forward. But again it goes back to the initial 334 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: point of the conversation, which is the injury bug is 335 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: rampant on this team. It's and it's so hard to 336 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: overcome that. But you need special performances from special players 337 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: when they do get healthy, and you need to be 338 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: incredibly consistent moving forward. 339 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: It is the Booth Review Podcasts got Jackson Logan Paulson 340 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: in for the guys as they make their way back 341 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: from Kansas City. All right, let's get to the problems 342 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: plus solutions as we dissect the big moments from this 343 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: football game. Let's talk about the problem of the red zone. 344 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: This year a seventy seven point seventy eight TV success 345 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: rate entering Monday Night, which is second of the NFL, 346 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: but obviously didn't have as many opportunities or successes Monday Night. 347 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I think, like when I look at 348 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: and again like Joe Wood Junior and this defensive staff 349 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: are probably well aware of this. But when I look 350 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: at it, and I say, like, and I talked to 351 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: London Fletcher, talk to guys smooth, you know who you 352 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: know very well. Like, one of the things that comes 353 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: to the forefront for me is just like can we 354 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: get the rush to marry with the coverage? And specifically, 355 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: I think as a case study, when you look at 356 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: the Kansas City game, I think the coverage in the 357 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: back end in the red zone was actually pretty good. 358 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: But as the down gets longer, as you're pushed into 359 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: these longer counts for the quarterback holding the football man, 360 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: coverage gets stretched. Zone coverages get stretched. And so what 361 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: I would say is like, I know, we're really banged 362 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: up on the defensive line. You know, No, Dietrich Wise, no, 363 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: Doran's armstrong Frankieluvu's playing defensive end for us, which was 364 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: not in the car. We're not on my Bengo card 365 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: at the start of the year, right, But you know, 366 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: can we get a four to five man rush. Can 367 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: we bring some pressures to again allow to support the coverage, right, 368 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: because I look at it this last game and it's 369 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: like when the quarterback escapes the pocket, because our lack 370 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: of rush continuity like that just makes it really a 371 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: really hard down for the guys in the back end. 372 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: And I'm sure the guys in the back end, the linebackers, 373 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: the corners, the safeties would say, oh, we can hold 374 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: up beach it all bit longer. But as someone who 375 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: coaches high school football, as someone who's played in the NFL, 376 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: like that's an unrealistic expectation, that's an inevitable breakdown. So 377 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: can we get that rush to really come to life 378 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: here with a little bit of pixie dust and duct 379 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: tape kind of stringing this thing altogether. I think that's 380 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: the thing I would look for moving forward, specifically in 381 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: those red zone moments, pass rush married with the rush, 382 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: married with the coverage to make sure that we can 383 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: kind of be more efficient in those situations. 384 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: All right, another problem plus solutions. What about the big plays? 385 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 2: We talked about a few of them earlier, but kind 386 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: of is Patrick Mahomes big play moments and how to 387 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: slow those things now? 388 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, And to me, if you look at again looking at 389 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: the Kansas City as a model, right, and you look 390 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: at the rest of the year and kind of some 391 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: of the issues that have plagued them, it's really and 392 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: I think Joe wid Junior identified this weeks ago to 393 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: his credit, right, he just said, we got to play 394 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: in the context of the defense, like we got to 395 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: fit runs the way we're supposed to fit them to 396 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: eliminate explosive run plays, and we got to play coverages 397 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: the way we're supposed to play them. And I think, 398 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: like when you look at last night, I tipped my 399 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: hat because I felt like in the first half they 400 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: came out they fit runs the way they were supposed 401 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: to fit them. I thought they've did a great job 402 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: in coverage. I thought they did a great job rallying 403 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: and tackling. I think that's the version of the defense 404 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: that Joe Whitt Junior Dan Quinn envision when they talk 405 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: about a run and hit as Simon sound team. But 406 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: as we move on into the second half, right, there's 407 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: a couple of big penalties. There's that illegal contact was 408 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: a personal foul, right or something like that. I don't 409 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: remember the exact call, but those things are again like 410 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: when we're not as talented, when our starting horses are 411 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: out because of injury, we got to tighten the hack, 412 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: which is there at the tighten the screws a little bit. 413 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: So I look at some of the explosive plays. They 414 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: come off schedule. We don't have eye discipline. We're in 415 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: the red zone. We're trying to make a play that's 416 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: really not our responsibility. And I know that's so challenging 417 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes back there making the plays that he's making. 418 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: But trust it, trust the process, trust your teammates, and 419 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: again I do, I do really believe this. I look 420 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: at some of those plays that he extended in the 421 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: red zone. We have to be more cognizant of our 422 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: rush lanes and our angles because then it puts those 423 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: guys in the back end in bad spots. So don't 424 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: put the cape on. Do your job. I know that's 425 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: so boring. I know fans probably want some crazy revelation. 426 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: But like everyone runs cover three, everyone runs man coverage, 427 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: everyone has a four man rush, everyone has five man pressures. 428 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: It comes down to how you execute them and how 429 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: the guys can own their assignment. I really, really genuine 430 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: believe that if they can get to that level of 431 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: execution that Dan Quinn and Joe Witt are aspiring to, 432 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: they're going to be okay. All right. 433 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: Mental error, you know, certainly popped up in this football game. 434 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 2: You know, throughout you know, the lack of what you 435 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: would call complimentary football, right like you offensive or defensive 436 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: make a play, you know, then the offense wouldn't come 437 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: through or special teams would have an issue. How do 438 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: you kind of look at those plays throughout this game? 439 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't really have a great answer, 440 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: you know. I think about the sack that is given 441 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: up where like Cosme sliding down, Connorley sliding out, there's 442 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: the chip help. It looks like there's a miscommunication there 443 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: because to me, that's a four man rush. We got 444 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: the offensive slide going to the left. Cosby looks like 445 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: he should be pushing right with Connorley to block that 446 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: wide four I slash three technique there and you know, 447 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: it's we're in a six man pro backs in the backfield. 448 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: We don't need to be doing anything crazy there. But 449 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, there's a miscommunication, there's a misidentification. And 450 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: the only way I know how to fix that as 451 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: a as a former player is to say, hey, how 452 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: can I be more accountable to those looks that are 453 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: going to be challenging, that are going to test our 454 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: rules in the protection? So as a player, how can 455 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: I study more film, ask more questions to make sure 456 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: that I'm ready to go for those moments. And as 457 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: a coach, I think it's the same thing, but in reverse, 458 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: it's like, how do I make sure that I get 459 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: all this information to the players so they can execute 460 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: at a high level. And I know we've got the 461 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: right people in the building to get that done, but 462 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: like it's going to take a lot of work and 463 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: a lot of critical self evaluation, which is sometimes uncomfortable 464 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: and sometimes not fun, But I think it's going to 465 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: be incredibly, incredibly important moving forward, because again, like that's 466 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: a small example. You know, there's the there's some I 467 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: discipline stuff in man coverage. There's some bunch looks which 468 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: I thought, which I thought on the whole, they handled well, 469 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: but there's a couple where they get a little bit loose, 470 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: you know. And for some of these young football players 471 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, who like McGhee 472 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: and Tyler Owens, who I thought did some really good things, 473 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: like can we enhance our communication? Can we enhance how 474 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: we're seeing the entire picture as opposed to just our assignment. Again, 475 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: that all comes down to reps, study, walk through, deliberate 476 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: practice and that stuff. Dan's been preaching for the last 477 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: two three weeks, and I think you're seeing it improve. 478 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: It's just it looks like it's gonna take some time 479 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: because I think it's important to remember. Like the Cosmi one, 480 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: I think is a great example, Like Cosmi is a deliberate, smart, 481 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: tough football player, but he missed all of training camp 482 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: because of the injury. Right, so he's coming back and 483 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: now you have to kind of accelerate his learning process. Yeah, 484 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: do you think any any of that too? 485 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously him and Connorly are new to one another, right, 486 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 2: I mean, because you know, Josh has been playing with 487 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: a different tackle or different guard excuse me, this whole time. 488 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: I mean, is there a little bit of like chemistry 489 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: that has to develop between these two players as they 490 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: are not heading will be game three with each other. 491 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a huge part. Like you know, 492 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 1: I always think about it as a tight end playing 493 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: with different tackles, right, because you get a relationship built 494 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: with that tackle and you have a communication style developed 495 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: with them, and you understand on this combination, he's going 496 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: to fit it like this as opposed to this guy, 497 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: And those bank reps are just extremely important to building 498 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: that chemistry and cohesion. And again, like I think you 499 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: bring up a great point, connor Ley is a young 500 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: player cos he's coming off of injury. This is his 501 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: this was his second game back, and again there is 502 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: going to be a little bit of a learning curve. 503 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: And again I think everyone always kind of pushes for 504 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: the physical learning to the forefront of those conversations, but 505 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: they forget about the mental element of football. That's what 506 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: it makes it such a beautiful game. Is it's this. 507 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: It's this rigorous physical demand, but also the mental demands, 508 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: especially of a position like offensive line. Yeah, and then 509 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: you mentioned some of the coverage things. 510 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of new personnel running out 511 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 2: there last night, right, there's more tyler Owans that we've 512 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: seen before. Obviously Savage is still relatively new. You saw 513 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: a lot of McGee last night. But are those the 514 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: kind of the things that they can fix and these 515 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: guys be part of the solutions as they move forward 516 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 2: the remainder of the year. 517 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I mean I was really impressed 518 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: with how tyler Owans played man man coverage versus the 519 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame tight end. You know, like he's a 520 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: relatively young player and I thought he did a good job. 521 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: I think you feel McGee in a way that is fun. 522 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: You know, like he's fast, he's physical, he's really unless 523 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: you can tell he gets a lot of joy from playing. 524 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: He's the type of player you enjoy watching. But again, 525 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: like sometimes you get a novel front spacing or a 526 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: novel run fit and it's like am I in the 527 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: right spot? Or is this the coverage I'm supposed to take? 528 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: And on the whole, I thought he did a decent job. 529 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: I know PFF kind of burned him a little bit 530 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: in terms of grade, but like when you go back 531 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: and watch, like overall, I think this is a very 532 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: positive performance for a guy who's got the most stap 533 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: snap since he's been here, and I think hats off 534 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: to Joe Wood Junior for pushing them into the lineup 535 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: and giving those guys those opportunities. And so I think 536 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: that was another fun thing that again I got to 537 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: give a tip of a hat to Joe Wood Junior, 538 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: especially in that first half, is let's make sure guys 539 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: are in roles that they're comfortable with and we could 540 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 1: maximize and I thought he did a great job of that. 541 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: I got a kind of off the board problems plus 542 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: solutions question for you. Getting the running backs going again. 543 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: It feels like lately that has been a bit of 544 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: a problem. Certainly again with Jayden's out there that dictates 545 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: a little bit more and those type of things. But 546 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: what can they do just to get the running backs 547 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: no matter who the quarterback is, to kind of get 548 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 2: more are, more production and more pop. 549 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, it's about the blocking surface. And we 550 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: talked about it with pass pro, with Cosby and Connory 551 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: and some of these new pieces, But there is I 552 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: think a huge, a huge element like when I was 553 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: a part of the number one rushing offense in the NFL, 554 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: when Robert Griffin the third was here, in twenty twelve. 555 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: That wasn't something that we just casually did. That was 556 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: who we were. That was like a diet in the 557 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: wool thing we focused on it. We used to do 558 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: our install for team run, not as like an offensive line, 559 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: tight end, running back. It was everybody on the offense 560 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: was in the practice squad. Guys, we're in the room 561 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: with us as we did our run installs. So everyone 562 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: knew exactly the look we were supposed to be getting 563 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: and knew exactly the expectation for everybody in the offense 564 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: when it came to running the football. And so I 565 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: think of like, when you want to get good at 566 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: running the football, you have to pour a ton of 567 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: time into it. And I do think that, like talk 568 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: about the injuries, like think about the direction that this 569 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: offense has had to shift. Like coming into the season, 570 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: I was like, we're going to run the FOOTBA, but 571 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: we're going to run it out of eleven, right, We're 572 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: gonna have Noah Brown, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel and we'll 573 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: be able to run from light box structures and kind 574 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: of and all of a sudden, it's changed pretty dramatically. 575 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: Now we're going to be a twelve personnel running the 576 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: football team. Right. That changes box count numbers, that changes fronts, 577 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: that changes our trajectory on double teams. All those things 578 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 1: are affected because of the injuries to the secondary. So 579 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: to me in terms of getting it going again, this 580 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: is boring to fans, I know, but like it's time 581 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: on task. We have to spend more time on task. 582 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: And again, like I got to give credit to Kansas City, 583 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: Like leading up to the game, that was one of 584 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: the most well coached fronts that I'd seen in a 585 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: long time. Steve Smagnola had those guys locked in. Those 586 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: three linebackers are so fun to watch. Their safeties know 587 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: how to fit runs and there's not like talk about 588 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: not putting on capes. Those guys never put on a cape. 589 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: It's like we are in our gap at the right moment, 590 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: coming downhill. And so you got to give them a 591 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: lot of credit. But I do think that the more time, 592 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: the more equity they can put in the commanders to 593 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: the run stuff specifically, it's going to really benefit the 594 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: blong term. 595 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 2: We're here at Logan Paulson Booth Review talking about problems 596 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 2: and solutions. One of the things that was interesting rakel 597 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: that we saw last night. Logan I want to ask 598 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: about was what did you think of seeing you know, 599 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 2: John Bates, Ben Sinnett getting into the passing game. We 600 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: see them block a lot has to do the blocking front, 601 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 2: but both last night, you know, we had some opportunities 602 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 2: and made some plays catching the football. 603 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's great, man. I think I really 604 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: especially love the John Bates completion because I think that's 605 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: something that he brings that is so undervalued by the 606 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 1: league is that he's a big, long, strong, physical dude. Like, 607 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: for my money, I've said this multiple times, maybe the 608 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: best blocking tight end in the NFL. Like he does 609 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: an excellent job, but having a guy that can also 610 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: stress the seam, get down the field a little bit. 611 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: He's not going to run the route for zach ertzz, 612 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: but it makes that package so much more dynamic. Like 613 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: think about when you bring an extra offensive lineman, you 614 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: lose that eligible receiver in the past game, right, they 615 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: can green dog that player green dog meeting. If it's 616 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: man coverage, I can just blitz the second the extra 617 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: tackle blocks right and Baits prevents you from doing that. 618 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: So I love the little counterpass play action half role 619 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: move the pocket. It's just a great call, really well 620 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: designed play, and you've got a guy in Baits who 621 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: can execute it. And again, Sinnate is getting like a 622 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: little bit of a checkdown, kind of similar to like 623 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: Travis Kelce's long completion. But I think you see his 624 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: you see the athlete, and so are there ways we 625 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: can exploit and develop his athleticism more in this offense, 626 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: especially as the playmakers are a little bit banged up. 627 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: I hope so. And maybe it's not taking shots down 628 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: the field, but maybe here's a screen, here's a touch 629 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: from the backfield. I don't know, something like that. Where again, 630 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: he is an explosive athlete based on rascore out of 631 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: the combine, so let's find ways to maybe get him involved. 632 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: Doesn't need to be five ten targets a game, but 633 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: maybe it's two to four. And does that give you 634 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: enough offensive firepower that teams can't just kind of put 635 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: the cap on your ceiling offensively? Maybe? And so that's 636 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: something that I think is a nice wrinkle to see 637 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: against Kansas City. 638 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: Well, obviously Seattle brings different challenges and the Chiefs do. 639 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: The good news is there's no more Patrick Mahomes on 640 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: the schedule the rest of the way. 641 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: Logan, Scott, that's exactly right, No more Patrick Mahomes and 642 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: onto Seattle. And I think no one better to talk 643 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: about that than London Fletcher, who he's got his flight, 644 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: he's in DC. He's going to come in and talk 645 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: to you, to us in the audience about how best 646 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: to get after the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. So 647 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: there's nobody better to tell us how to do it 648 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: than the guy who's going to be in the Hall 649 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: of Fame, and that's London Fletcher. 650 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 4: All right, thanks Scott for filling in as I was 651 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 4: navigating my travel situation back from Kansas City. Fellas just 652 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 4: my overall thoughts on the game. I thought, being on 653 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 4: the field, and I share this with you, Logan, just 654 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 4: I thought the team came out with great energy. Like 655 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 4: I'm on the sidelines just watching those guys coming out, 656 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, these guys didn't come here to just 657 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 4: kind of be all with with Arrowhead Stadium and beat 658 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 4: all all in all of Patrick Mahomes and look at 659 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 4: their their Super Bowl banners and all that. 660 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 3: These guys came to win the football game. 661 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 4: And then the way the game started off man offense, 662 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 4: just rolling, moving the football down the field. Obviously you 663 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 4: got the unfortunate interception that bounced off the pads of 664 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel, and I felt like he was just trying 665 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 4: to make a play, you know, trying to trying to 666 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 4: turn turn his head and see what he can do 667 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 4: before before he really looked the football. In defense, they 668 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 4: came out. You can see the improvements of the defense. 669 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 4: You can see the difference in the in their play. 670 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 4: I thought, putting Jordan McGee on the field, he played, 671 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 4: he played down standing game. You felt his speed, Tyler Owins, 672 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 4: you felt his speed, his presidence on the game. It 673 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 4: wasn't perfect at all all the time, but I thought defensively, 674 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 4: the guys did enough, especially in that first half getting 675 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 4: to take a ways two interceptions off of Patrick Mahoons, 676 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 4: who came into the game with fourteen touchdowns and two 677 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 4: interceptions on this season, and so for us to get 678 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 4: too in the first two drives, I'm like, okay, man, 679 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 4: maybe the balls bouncing our way, but you got to 680 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 4: you gotta finish those drives off from an offense standpoint 681 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 4: with points, touchdowns, and especially going against the Chiefs in 682 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 4: Arrowhead thought we got a bad spot on that that 683 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 4: zach Ertz fourth down play. I understand the aggressiveness by 684 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 4: d Q and because you're not gonna beat the Chiefs 685 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 4: kick and field goal, but I thought, I thought that 686 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 4: was a bad spot. And you know, I had a 687 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 4: couple of couple more opportunities, especially early in that in 688 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 4: that first half, were we just didn't capitalize on the 689 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 4: field position, the turnovers, and you know, you end up 690 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 4: in a seven to seven game at halftime as opposed 691 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 4: to a you know lead, maybe maybe it's a ten 692 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 4: point lead, maybe it's a fourteen point lead, but second half, 693 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 4: you know, we we just couldn't get it done. Didn't 694 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 4: have the same type of success moving the football, and defensively, 695 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes made some plays against us, extending the extending plays, 696 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 4: but also felt like we gave them a couple of 697 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 4: plays by just you know, maybe not staying with with 698 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 4: receivers like we should have as long as we we 699 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 4: should have, especially when he's out of the pocket. You're 700 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 4: a man and man coverage you have to make sure 701 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 4: you stay with your man until you're for certain that 702 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 4: he has crossed the line. In scrimmage and he's no 703 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 4: longer going to be a passer. So there was some 704 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 4: some situations and things that we can do better from 705 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 4: a defense standpoint. But all in all, man I was 706 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 4: I was encouraged by what I saw looking forward to 707 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 4: this game against the Seattle Seahawks on on Sunday Night football. 708 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 4: So you know they're they're retiring our art monkst Jersey 709 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 4: that night. We got the Super Bowl era of jerseys. 710 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 4: There will be a lot of energy and excitement at 711 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 4: our stadium on Sunday night. I feel like, man, this 712 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 4: is there's a lot to build upon from that game 713 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 4: against it against the Chiefs, but also there's some things 714 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 4: that we need to still clean up. And once we 715 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 4: do those things, regardless of the injury situation, moving forward, 716 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 4: we will be a better football team. And I feel 717 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 4: like we got to get this game against the against 718 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 4: the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night football, and then we'll 719 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 4: deal with the rest as the season may go. The 720 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 4: leaders on this football team have to continue to reiterate 721 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 4: that type of message that we got a lot of 722 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 4: football left. Our season not over. The NFC is still 723 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 4: NFC Easter still kind of wide open. It's we still 724 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 4: got two games against the Eagles, we got another game 725 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 4: against the Cowboys, another game against the Giants, So we 726 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 4: got a lot of football left in front of us. 727 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 4: We got we got it, but we have to get 728 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 4: this game at home against the Seattle Seahawks. 729 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 3: It's an NFC game. 730 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 4: We got to start stacking some wins against NFC oponents 731 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 4: in case you're looking at some potential wildcards situations or scenarios. 732 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 4: But a lot of encouraging things that I saw from 733 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 4: that ball game. Disappointed we weren't able to play batter 734 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 4: in the second half of Again, a lot that we 735 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 4: can build on. 736 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 3: And take take it to this game against the Seattle Seahawks. 737 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 4: We're retiring a number of Art Monk, one of the 738 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 4: franchise's all time greats.
