Twenty six twenty three. The Patriots improved 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.040 to four and eleven on the season in the most 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:15.119 unlikely of circumstances, starting with the sixteen points scored by 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:21.240 the Broncos on consecutive drives, only to have Chad Ryland, 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.120 who had missed everything all season, including tonight. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:27.200 God, he finally made one. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.160 We've come through with a fifty six yarder to win 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:32.160 the game. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.840 That was awesome. I mean him making the field goal 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:35.880 and not going over time. 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.320 And not going overtime on Christmas Eve. Wait to go 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.880 check a quarterback tonight. But that's okay, we didn't have overtime. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.199 That's all I cared about, right, very selfish on Christmas. Sorry, Well, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:47.920 that's okay. 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.360 I mean it's it's it's hard to know what to 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.720 root for these days when you're a Patriots fan. But 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.240 uh no, overtime on Christmas Eve is as good a 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:02.920 place as any to start. I mean, it's we're watching 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.720 the game here together, and it's it's weird because you're 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:11.639 getting like certain messaging, you know, from us and Tamera, 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.960 and you're getting different messaging from the announcers of the game. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.079 Oh God, thinking back on this game, like, what will 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.840 be your memory of this particular performance? 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.160 Was it? 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:24.280 Was? 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.000 It just the the ineptness of the first half and 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.760 in start contrast to what we saw in the second half. 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:30.840 I mean, where was it. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.000 I just think there were two teams that really struggle 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.160 to move the ball offensively, and the difference in the 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.720 game to me was the Patriots made more chunk plays 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.720 to avoid having to make drives. So that was the 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.040 one point that Kurt Warner made. I thought during the 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.840 game was it's really hard when you when you challenged offensively, 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.960 like the Patriots and Broncos are to go ten twelve, 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.280 fourteen plays without negative plays, right, So what the Patriots 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.280 were able to do on a couple of occasions, once 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.840 in the first half and once on the second half, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.360 was actually twice if you count. The game winning field 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.800 goal is to throw on up fifty to fifty ball 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.080 and have your guy come down with it, and that 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.919 leads to points. And I thought Zabi did a good 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.760 job of avoiding sacks tonight and giving himself opportunities to 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.799 do that. And to me, the key play, the key 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.239 players of the game tonight were the Patriots receivers, specifically 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.000 I thought DeVante Parker and to Mario Douglas, who I 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.680 thought made players on the ball downfield. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.480 Yep, those are huge, the big plays. I mean, that 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.440 was what kind of sparked the offense to get those points. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.280 I mean, it wasn't great all night. It wasn't necessarily consistent. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.280 I was looking pretty bleak there when the defense all 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.240 of a sudden, you know, just allowed those two fourth 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.440 quarter drives to the Broncos. It just seemed like all 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.840 the momentum went back to the Broncos, and you know, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.160 the defense then stood up, they got to stop and 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.840 and you know, credit like Paul said, I mean, it 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.320 was looking a little weird there with those first two carries. 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.920 Where it seemed like they were almost gonna concede for overtime. 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.240 If Sean Payton didn't call. Now I have no problem 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.240 with Sean Payton calling the timeouts, but if he didn't 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.119 call timeouts, we'd be in overtime right now. 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.800 And and then it just, uh, you know, it came 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.200 down to that throat to Parker, the quick one to Gasiki, 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.960 who took a huge hit getting a couple extra yards, 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.680 and then you know, I just I mean, look, there's 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:13.520 a lot to dissect. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.080 I just would say it's. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.159 Been a tough year for Chad Ryland. I just of 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.160 all the things him coming away with this, it's it's, 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.680 you know, a nice little figure for him. He needs 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.200 he needed that play if he was coming out of here. Mean, 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.840 people were talking about he needs to walk home. You know, 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.279 it's it's a good play for the rookie. 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.920 So maybe that get maybe that gets him going and 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.560 he you know, sometimes the long ones there's no pressure, yeah, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.840 you know, because no one's going to say like, well 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.920 he choked, he missed a fifty six yard or like 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.800 I mean I would but that that's just me. Like 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.440 most guys, like on a kick like that, you just 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.720 look at it as like, you know, no one's necessarily 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.560 assuming you're going to make it. I think at altitude, 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.160 you know, it's you know, how you go to fifty yards. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.839 To me, you go to sixty yards. At altitude, it's. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.640 Harder to have the yips on something where you're putting 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.840 a lot of physical effort to it. That's a good 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.800 point too, you know it's I mean, on the on 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.599 the shorter field goals, it's like it's just about you know, 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.960 you're thinking all about technique. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.280 I gotta feel good for the kid they did. 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.280 Why not, Well, don't sweat the technique now, Oh I 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:12.840 like that. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.560 A lot, good for you do. So let's get to 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.360 our good bad injured list. Let's go. Now it's time 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:22.679 for the good, pretty good, pretty pretty pretty good. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.359 The bad and the injured. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:31.680 Ah, you are right, guy, good, the bad men injured 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.320 brought to you buy the good players and plays, bad 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.960 and injured. Let's lead us off deuce. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:43.320 Yeah, I'm gonna go with Ylani Tavai with a force fumble. 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.920 Somewhat chronological, but okay, I just think he's said that 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.000 guy continues to play like a maniac out there, and uh, 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.279 it just has really developed into you know, one of 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.720 my my favorite players on the defense, the guy who 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.360 brings energy, guy who you know has continued to stay 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.920 positive through this season. And you know, it's just I 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.200 don't know what the number off the top of my head, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.720 but like the number of turner, they haven't forced a 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.520 lot of turners this year, but the number of them 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.880 that have involved Jilani Tavai and Jabil Peppers, it seems 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.200 like probably at least seventy five eighty percent of them 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.320 have involved one of those two guys. So I think 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.400 he's really emerged as a playmaker. You know, they didn't 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.800 necessarily take advantage of that play, but tone setter, and 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.560 you know, it just continues to kind of be around 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:21.839 the ball. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.159 Yeah, that was an odd play all around. I still 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.440 think the Broncos covered. I don't think that was a 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.960 That was one of the only drives that the Broncos had. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.640 I think they were going into score on that one. 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.560 I had Barmore, who I continue to be impressed with. 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.520 He was really the only guy on defense that I 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:42.719 had marked tonight. I thought they got off to a 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.680 strong start defensively, but I thought it gradually deteriorated, and 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.080 I thought the Bronco has really sort of stopped themselves 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.800 over the last three quarters until the fourth quarter. But 0:06:55.000 --> 0:07:00.839 Barbour had I would have three sacks countless other times 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.520 that he was drawing attention, big holding Collie drew On 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.559 on the last trial with the second to last drive, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.640 I just thought he was dominant and even you know, 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.600 when when when when the game was really slipping away, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.960 It's twenty three, twenty three and Denver gets the ball back. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.400 The first play is a screen pass, and he got 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.000 out and sort of disrupted that. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.640 And hell, he didn't make the tackle. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.840 I don't think on p Ryan, but he was out 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.120 there and caused uh, you know, he caused Peter Ryan 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.600 to sort of take a second to get around him, 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.520 and that let other guys come and make the play. 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.480 So I thought he was the best player on the 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:35.280 field again tonight. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.080 I mean first half defense, I had him down and 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.440 bar More to me, was you know, the the obvious 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.400 choice totally. I yeah, No, I think tavai Is is 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.480 a good one also. But the three sacks and you know, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.960 eight tackles, five from solo tackles for Barmore tonight he. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.400 Was all big plays that you got members you know best. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.840 Yeah, he's looking like the potential we thought he had 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:57.320 this year. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.880 Yeah. He and you know, if it weren't for somebody 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.280 just luckily standing behind Russell Wilson, Barmore would have been 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.680 responsible for his safety tonight too. So it was a 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:08.440 big night for him. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:08.680 Yep. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.120 I'm gonna go with Paul mentioned a couple of receivers 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.480 off the Top'll start with the Mario Douglas do it. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.600 That would be my first. Just offensively, again, not a 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.920 lot going on in the first half, but anything that 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:28.280 they seem to start or continue to. Mario Douglas was 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.280 on the receiving end of a lot of those plays, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.880 only five catches, but for seventy four yards and he 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.720 had the forty one yard reception. So and just you know, 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.679 he's you can question as to whether or not, you know, 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.360 just the wisdom as to him being out there at 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.360 all after you know, going through two concussions already. But 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.559 you know, all reports are that he wants to play, 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.319 he wants to be back out there, and you know, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.079 this team can use all of that right now. And 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.320 it's not like he's begging to be out there and 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.120 he stinks. No, he's he's your most dynamic offensive weapon. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.440 So he's he's a big good list for me too. 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.440 Yeah, absolutely, I mean he's, uh, he's he's definitely closing 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.080 in on the highest receiving yardage total for a Belichick 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:10.760 rookie receiver. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:11.960 You know. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:12.920 So it's it's. 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:13.400 Credit to him. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:14.920 I mean, in some ways it's you know, I don't 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.080 want to, I don't want to like play the other 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.439 side of the fence with it. But it's just like, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.360 you know, how he's a sixth rounder, Like, I mean, 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.080 these these guys, it shouldn't be this hard to find guys. 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.439 You know, if you get him in the sixth round, 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.080 there should be other you know, when you're drafting the 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.960 second round, there should be you know, it should be 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.959 obvious what guys can kind of play to this level. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.160 But you know, credit to to Douglas. I think he 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.560 continues to be to be an important cog. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.760 All Right, I guess keep going. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.120 Yeah, I'll just I mean, I'll Paul mention Parker, but 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.120 I'll throw him in there. I mean, this is what 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:40.480 he does. 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.839 You know, it's it's it's nothing outstanding of what we've 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.520 known about him. He's a contested catch guy and he's 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.120 not gonna gain a ton of separation. But he does 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.240 have a unique skill set in terms of having a 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.960 guy right next to him and you know, kind of 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.560 fighting a little bit and you're on the edge of 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.960 you know, pass interference either way, and you know, he's 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.560 just able to consistently come down with those balls. And 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.040 it's something that we've seen for two years now that 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.439 the quarterback, whether it was Mac, whether it was Zappi, 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.880 you throw it up to DeVante Parker and you know, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.640 it seems like like three quarters of the time he's 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.520 usually going to come down with it. So some big 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.880 plays from him, those big plays were huge. They sparked 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.959 the drives that they scored. I mean, really, I don't 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.160 think the offense was overly consistent. It was just kind 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.480 of timely big plays and then they were able to 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.360 convert those into the end zone. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.800 So those two guys, those receivers, to me, were the story. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.120 Yeah, I agree with those two. I would have them 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.199 high on my list. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.840 Oh hold on a second here, Okay, because we just 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.920 mentioned him. This is unbelievable as we're speaking about you, 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.120 Sir Davante Parker joining us here from the locker room 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.240 in Denver. Congratulations, we're going through our highlights and our 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.960 good list for the night. Davante, you are absolutely on 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.840 a Congratulations, great game. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:51.440 Thank you appreciate it. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.280 Hey, Davante, just you know, what did you see on 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:54.560 that last big catch? 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.600 What was what was your thought going into that play 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.280 and how did you guys execute it? 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.880 We put the ball where he needed to be and 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.760 I just made a I just came back and made 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.360 a heck of a cast. I knew, I knew it 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.000 was a play that we needed, so got to come 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.439 down with it and there and it helped us in 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:09.800 the end. 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.920 Devanta, it looked like you were matched up with Patrick 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.040 Sartan a couple of times tonight. What were those those battles. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:17.360 What's it like going up against him? 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.640 Either very patient, dB, he's really good. You know, he's 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.520 still young, but you know he got a lot of 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:24.240 room to get better. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.959 You know, we talked a lot about halftime adjustments. I 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.600 don't know if they're overrated or underrated, but the offense 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.440 certainly looked better starting in the third quarter. Where there's 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.120 some adjustments you made at halftime. 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:40.439 True, yeah, yeah, I was. I stayed. Also, we just 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.120 didn't We just limited our mistakes like we did in 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.320 the first half. So I stayed. That kind of helped 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.439 us out Devanta. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.440 We had you and pop up on the top on 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:50.959 our good list. Just you know, what can you say 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.920 about rookie receiver to Mario Douglas, what he's brought to 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.199 this team and the spark that he provided for you guys? 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:00.480 Oh man man Man brought toughness, you know everything either 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.079 either the hell of a player a rookie but uh, 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:09.160 you know, you know big time today make mega players bount. 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:09.960 To you guys. Took the ball. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.120 Uh you got the ball back at the very end 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.640 before the game winning on the game winning field goal drive. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.680 The first couple of plays were runs. Were you surprised 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.920 that Denver was calling timeouts there, stopping the clock. It 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.240 looked like you guys were content to go to overtime, 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.360 and then all of a sudden they make the big 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.439 play down the sideline to you. Were you surprised that 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.400 the Broncos were sort of calling timeouts and giving you 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:32.400 guys another shot? 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.959 No, I really I think they were really call time out. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.760 Just shot it. Just Caise got the ball back, That's 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.240 what I think. But but yeah, I was surprised when 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.840 we called it run plays. I don't know what was doing. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.280 But uh, but yeah, we know everything happened in our favor, so. 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.320 Including and and last but not leaves DeVante. Before we 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.840 let you go, thank you on behalf of all of 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.240 New England and everyone who's working and watching this game 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.160 tonight for knock going to overtime. It's Christmas Eve. You 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.360 want you want to get on the plane. We want 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.320 to finish this postgame show just to thank everybody for 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.400 us and thank you specifically for ending this thing the 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:12.480 way it should have been ended. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.120 Oh, I don't want to t. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.240 Hey, Devonte, great game, Thank you so much for taking 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:20.240 the time. We appreciate it. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.880 Congrats on the wind ingrats safe child back, all right, 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.480 there we go. Yeah, I thought, you know, I agree 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.640 with with you guys. I thought, there, you know, you 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.880 see the highlights. They just the guys just ran, you 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.360 know that, nothing fancy, just you know, fifty to fifty 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.199 balls down the sideline, and tonight he was able to 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.680 come up with a couple of them, and uh, you know, 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.840 I think those were those were big plays on scoring 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.760 drives and and I think that was the only way 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.360 they were going to score. I would put Zapia on 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:51.200 the good list too. I do think that you know, 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.880 you can see the razor thin like this team doesn't 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.880 have an offense, and I'm not like unlike rich Eisen, 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.760 I don't think gop saw tonight was really good offense. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.240 And again they don't even get three hundred yards. But 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.080 I think Zappi's ability to sort of avoid negative plays 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.679 in the rush, like you know, to buy a little 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:15.160 extra time and slide around is allowing them to make 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.040 some of these plays down the field that they didn't 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.120 have before. I gotta tell you, I mean, you know, 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.120 he moves well in the pocket. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.160 The first play of the game was as bad as 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.800 you will see, you know, from a blocking standpoint from 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.240 a not recognizing the danger. I mean, just everything went 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:36.800 wrong in an instant and then the rest of the game. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.760 I'm not saying he was perfect, but twenty five of 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.880 thirty three for two hundred and fifty six yards, two 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.640 touchdowns and no picks. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.360 And you can just see like, but it's it's so 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.960 razor thin because they don't do anything easily and they 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.040 don't get anything easy. No, you know, they had twelve 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.760 first downs in the whole game. They were three for 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.720 thirteen on third down. They don't run the ball, and 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.200 I think conservatively they had a half dozen plays tonight 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.320 that could have gone either way, Like they could have 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.040 gotten caught by Douglas and Parker, or they could have 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.840 gotten caught by a defensive back, if you know, the 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.000 timing of the jump is different. So I just I 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.000 look at how challenged they are offensively, and tonight was 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.160 one of those nights where the fifty to fifty balls 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.800 are more like seventy five eighty in you a favor. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.760 You know, some of them fell in complete, but you 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.160 were able to catch three or four from Parker three 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.520 of you know, I think one one fifty to fifty 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.640 ball for Douglas and that's that's allowed you to get 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.840 enough offense to win the game tonight. So I had 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.680 I had Zappi on my good list tonight too. I 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.840 like you guys, yeah yeah, And just. 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.240 Real quickly on Parker before we move off of him. 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:48.960 You know, we talked about this being a bit of 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.640 a redemption for Ryland. There are a couple of guys 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.560 on this team who were probably looking for redemption games 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.880 or catches. I'm not sure that Parker got it completely tonight, 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.240 but that helps. Yep, that absolutely helps, because you know, 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.400 when you're thinking about him in this season, there's one 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.880 play in particular that you think about and you're like, oh, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:06.760 that can happen. 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:06.920 Ye. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:11.120 Juju Smith I think had his Juju Smith Schuster excuse me, 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.240 had his a couple of weeks ago in the Steelers game. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.040 If I remember, it was the opening, you know, there 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.840 was the big you know pass play down there. I'm like, okay, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.440 there's a little something back for Juju. There's a little 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.040 something back for DeVante Parker to. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.480 I yeah, I agree, I agree. 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.480 I mean, it's it's good for conversation, you know, and 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.000 especially with you know, I agree with everything Paul just 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:31.960 kind of laid out, and I think the conversations now 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.440 are going to be having us up there two. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.520 To one under Zappi, like what would have happened? 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:36.000 You know? 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.600 And but I think the point. 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.600 Is largely it's looked the same, but it's circumstantially just 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.000 too Sorry. 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.880 We need to count all of the games, and I'm 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.800 not making one that I leave off. I don't know, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.720 he started four games and he's won two and lost 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.400 to you know, I saw one of the Patriots, right, 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.040 I think Ben Volean on Twitter tonight, like it's amazing 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.080 how they didn't make this move sooner, Like, I don't 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.200 know what you're watching. I don't know what you're seeing 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.520 that you think their record would be dramatically different if 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.439 Zappi played every game. I think there's a couple of 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.960 plays here and there that Zappi is making that maybe 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:08.640 Mac wouldn't. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.520 But again, they weren't getting wins. The other teams. 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.920 Fumble a kickoff into the end zone, you probably don't 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.359 win that game even tonight. Yeah, you know, against a 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.520 very very average Denver team. You know, Like, I think 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:26.080 he's been fine, he's the backup quarterback. I just they 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.600 don't have an offense, and that's the bottom line to me, 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.920 they do not have an NFL offense. 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.600 Well to that end, and maybe a deuce you want 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.480 to get back to some defense or for some other 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.680 stuff here, But I just I wanted just to group 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:42.280 together Jalen Rieger and Mike Kiseki and Faraoh Brown just 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.720 kind of in all all three of them at the 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.160 same game. Two targets, two catches. Giseki had the touchdown. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.679 They weren't asked to do a lot, but in this 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.480 offense and the way they're running things, they can't do 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.440 any more than whether now could they be open more? 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.280 Probably I'll say Farrell Browns came on. That was one 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:01.960 of the chunk plays that I think came on. I 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:03.680 think they might have missed the field goal on that drive, 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.720
