14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: Man, that's crazy. Nineteen ninety six. That's such a long time.

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 3: I was on a last team that got to six

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: and two and then we lost our game. We did

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: the next game, ironically to the Pittsburgh Steelers. I believe

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: you know, didn't get an opportun need to go Salven

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: and Tuo. But man, it feels great to be seven

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: and two, to be sitting where we are in the

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: NFC East, also in the NFC in general. Just a

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: great team win, especially after coming off that emotional victory

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 3: against the Chicago Bears on the Heyl Noah Play.

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety six.

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: I was in my first broadcasting job in the state

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: of Nebraska, covering the Cornhuskers when they were a top

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: five national championship program under Tom Osborne. So it's been

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: a long time for me too to see seven and

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: two and the glory days of obviously the Redskins past brah.

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: Ninety six, I was still in college. Damn year old.

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh man, I know, man, Like, it's so funny.

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: I've been like professionally covering the team on and off,

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: but mainly on since two thousand.

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: It's been a lot.

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: It's a quarter century, a quarter century since we've had

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: a season like this, and I'm not sure where it's

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: going from here. I think sky's the limit for them.

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: I think it's very telling when you people look at

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: the Giants record. They've had such a hard time with

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: this team over the years and sweeping anybody in the division.

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: It's very difficult to do. It's a great team win yesterday,

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: especially in light of what it happened a week ago,

43
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: where we're celebrating a once in a lifetime experience.

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, as they There's the old adage where records

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: don't matter when you're playing division the divisional games. Yes,

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: the Giants were two and six and they're having a

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: tough season this year, but when these two teams get together,

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: I don't care what the wrecords are. They're always tough,

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: they're always dog fights, they come down to the wire,

50
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: and you know, that game yesterday really was a nip

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: and tuck game for the most part. It was the

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: Giants that even when they got down fourteen points, they

53
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: stayed to their game plan, stuck to it was able

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: to get back to within eight points. I'll be at

55
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: them opted to go for the two point conversion as

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 3: opposed to kicking the extra point. And I don't know

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: if we'll talk about that, but that's the Giants and

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: a Brian Dable issue. But divisional games they're always going

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: to be tough, you know, tight back and forth type games,

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: and regardless of the record, I it's anytime you could

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: sweep to New York Giants, that's a good feeling, great feeling,

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: and I'm happy to be sitting where we are at

63
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: seven and two.

64
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd rather would focus it on us, honestly,

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: but like this is two weeks in a row, we're

66
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: decision making by the coaches on the other side of

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: the field did contribute to the things that occurred here,

68
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: Like a week ago, when mattieberflus is talking about it's

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: not a big deal to Terry McLaurin made this catch

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: that's set up the hail Mary Well okay or Brian

71
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: Daball going for two at twenty four to sixteen, failing

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: to get it, and they had they kicked it extra

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: point there it scored the later touchdown of the Theo

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: Johnson could have kicked an extra point to make it

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: a three point game, but we're in the position to

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: do it. And then secondarily, and I want to get

77
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: to this one really later. But the choice not to

78
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: use a timeout before the two minute warning, which allowed

79
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: Washington to sit you wascally run the clock down and

80
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: call a pass play with really no penalty if it

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: weren't in completion because it was gonna hit the two

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: minute morning anyway, I mean, it is nice to be

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: on the side of sound coaching decisions are happening here

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: and it is contributing to a lot of these wins

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 2: this year.

86
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that was They're definitely button up when it

87
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: comes to situational football clock management, whether it's end of half,

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: there's been so many times where you've seen how aggressive

89
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: they've been in certain situations, or go back to the

90
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: think it was the was it the Bears game, or

91
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: maybe it's the Panthers game. Oh, it's a Pathers game

92
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: where we're backed up and kind of like, okay, well

93
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: we'll kind of try to run out the clock, but

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: Carolina didn't use any of their time as they had

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: three time iles. Next thing you know, we get a

96
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: first down and we end up going to our no

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 3: huddle offense and end up getting a score at the

98
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: end of that half. Just the clock management piece and

99
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 3: the way Dad Quinn and whoever helps him with the

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: clock management have been on top of that, it's definitely

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: helped us be where we are in terms of seven

102
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: and two at this point of the season.

103
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: So I thought the biggest surprise of yesterday was after

104
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: the first quarter, Washington had one yard passing. They had

105
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: the ball for two minutes and thirty seconds of the

106
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: fifteen and we're leading seven to nothing.

107
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: So I want to start on.

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: The defense because it's a turnover that gave them the

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: opportunity to do this, And secondarily, it was also their

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: game plan. They wanted the Giants to run the ball

111
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: like that became very clear the Giants did and we're

112
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: doing so effectively early in the game.

113
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: What did you make of what.

114
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: Structurally Washington was thinking about in trying to oppose the

115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: Giants offense yesterday?

116
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, after you look at the first game

117
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: and you see Neighbors have ten catches on eighteen targets

118
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: and over one hundred yards receiving, it was clear that

119
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: they went into the ball game saying, hey, we're not

120
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: going to ask Stark corners to do a lot of

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: man and man single coverage of him and even their

122
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 3: receivers like Daris Slayton. He had started to come on

123
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: as of late as well. So, hey, they wanted to

124
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: keep kind of a shell on top of the defense,

125
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: play a lot of cover two or even quarters for

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: quarters coverage where it's initially at the snap the safeties

127
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: are both in a two deep look, and then they'll

128
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: rotate one of the safeties of rotate town once they

129
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: ensure that there's a run play, so they're a little

130
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: bit later to the party when it comes to the

131
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: run game. It's a way to get an extra defender

132
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: to the run but also show a safe coverage pre snap.

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: So there was definitely the game plan where hey, we're

134
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: going to force them to be a little bit patient,

135
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: see if they'll make a mistake, whether it's a penalty

136
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 3: or turnover, which ended up being a turnover on that

137
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: force fumble sack fumbled by Dante follow But you know,

138
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: it takes an extreme amount of patients for you as

139
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 3: a as a defensive play caller like Joe Witt Junior

140
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: to say, Hey, I know they're getting some yards rushing

141
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: to football, but I'm a stay patient. I'm not going

142
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: to all of a sudden getting more aggressive. Maybe do

143
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: a rotation where I'm bringing that extra man in the box,

144
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: show single hot coverage, and now they can go play

145
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: action pass or they know they got matchups on the

146
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: outside where they can try to take advantage. So I

147
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: thought it was a great, great strategy by them, and

148
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: it took great patience to you. For Joe Witt Jr.

149
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: I also say from the defensive standpoint. As a player,

150
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: it can be extremely frustrating fourteen to be gashing on

151
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: the rug game, and you just have to be like,

152
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: all right, man, just stay patient, Just stay patient, Just

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: stay patient with this, and eventually they'll make a mistake,

154
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: which they did.

155
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: I mean it is another sign up because go look

156
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: up halftime they're up twenty one to seven. It is

157
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: another sign of stick with this, believe in what we're doing.

158
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: Because I'm watching this early too. Tyrone Tracy has become

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: a very good effective running back for them. He was

160
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: obviously in question to play because of the concussion he

161
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: had suffered the week before, but he was able to go.

162
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: He's been very effective for them. They were running the

163
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: ball well. They ran the ball well against them in

164
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: week two. And I know what a lot of people

165
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: are thinking, because I got a lot of this from

166
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: like fans who were contacting me during and even after

167
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: the game. Make Daniel Jones throw the ball. He makes mistakes,

168
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: we want him to throw the ball. But the first

169
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: game showcased a weakness specifically against neighbors, So I'm with

170
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: you here.

171
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: In the end, they got this right.

172
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: The point is to keep the scoreboard down even if

173
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: the stat sheet doesn't look great and it looks like

174
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: you're getting gashed on the run.

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: They invited them to do it.

176
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: The Giants did it because I guess they felt this

177
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: was their best path to victory.

178
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and probably the Giants also, they're probably looking at

179
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: it like, hey, we don't want to put the ball

180
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: to harms way because you know, Daniel Jones has a

181
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: tendency to turn the football over the more you ask

182
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: him to throw the ball, which is you know, he

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: didn't throw an interception in yesterday's game, but he did

184
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 3: have the turnover. So the Giants, they understand what they

185
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: are and who they are, and they feel like, hey,

186
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: their best path forward has been running the football with

187
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: with Tracy. I'll say this, man, it's it's complimentary football.

188
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: We talk about this, and we've talked about this a

189
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: lot lately. When you understand what you have on the

190
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: other side of the ball, we understand we have a

191
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: high powered offense. We're gonna score a lot of points.

192
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: If you can ben don't break, Hey, we'll get We'll

193
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: tighten down in the red zone. We'll as the windows

194
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: shrink and we'll force you to kick field goals. We'll

195
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: do those types of things. Eventually that team can't just

196
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: stay patient and continue to run the ball. They're gonna

197
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: have to loosen things up. They're gonna have to try

198
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: to air it out. Then you'll get your opportunities to

199
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: make plays on the football, in the in the passing game,

200
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: things like that. But that's that's when you know you

201
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: have a great coaching staff when when the head coach

202
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: relays that matches, Hey, offense, these are the things we

203
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: need to do to win the game. Defensively, these are

204
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: the things we need to do to win the game

205
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 3: as special teams wise, these are things that we knew

206
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: we need to do to win the game. And you

207
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: know that that's a credit to Dad Quinn and his

208
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: coaches for going out and executing that game plan.

209
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: I pointed this out to Quinn when I spoke to

210
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: him on Friday, and I said to him, I don't

211
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: know how you feel about rankings, like if they matter

212
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: to you. But after Week three and included in that

213
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: was the winner of the Giants, but Neighbors went off

214
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: in that game. The Commanders had the thirty first ranked

215
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: pass defense in the league. Here we are in week

216
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: nine entering the game and they were ranked seventh. Like

217
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: the improvement was vast on that side of the ball,

218
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: which does lead me back to it's interesting that they

219
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: went with this particular game plan against this team, against

220
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: the quarterback who is apt to make mistakes. You would

221
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: almost feel like invite him to do so. But it's

222
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: not the way they went. But this is why they

223
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: get paid what they get paid, and I get paid

224
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: when I get paid.

225
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: They were right.

226
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 2: They had them in a position to do something that

227
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: maybe at least initially didn't look like it was favorable

228
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: to Washington because they were able to control the clock,

229
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: but in the end they couldn't score enough to catch

230
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: up with Washington put up on the scoreboard.

231
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and even I've had a chance to rewatch the

232
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: defense side of the ball, even even with them playing

233
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: that two shell, and we say invite them to run

234
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: the ball, and they were, they were having success. I

235
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: think they'll look at the film and say, we could

236
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: have we could have played to run even better, even

237
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: even playing a lot of the initial seven man front

238
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: type of looks, or even when they went to their

239
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 3: five down defensive front, they could have They could have

240
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: did a couple of things differently, maybe play play some

241
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: gaps a little bit better, things like that to limit them.

242
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: With the success that the Giants had rushing that football

243
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: early in that ball game, so they'll they'll look at

244
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: it and say, you know what, even with the game plan,

245
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: they shouldn't have had that amount of amount of type

246
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: of amount of yards rushing that they had in that

247
00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: ball game. But you anytime you're game planning for a

248
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: particular opponent, whether it's game planning for defense or game

249
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 3: planning or for offense, you have to say, Okay, who

250
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: are their most explosive players, who can hurt us the most?

251
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: Who do we want to take away? And in that

252
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: ball game, first and foremost, you want to take take

253
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: away mylik neighbors. He showed what he's capable of doing

254
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: if you give him a lot of one on one

255
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: coverage and ask your corners to challenge him and tackle

256
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: and even tackle him after the catch. He's shown what

257
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 3: type of type of player he can be. You want

258
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: to limit the explosively the way you Part of the

259
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: ways that you will limited explosive is having a two

260
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: D type of look. Even when they did go single

261
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: hot coverage on some third down, the very first third down,

262
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: they had a double on Elak Neighbors and this was

263
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: when he hit the tight ending flat. I can't remember

264
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: their tight end's name, number eighty four. They hit him

265
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 3: in the in the flat on the play, but they

266
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: have Elite Neighbors double. They're like, hey, he's not going

267
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: to be the guy who beats us in these situations.

268
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: Listen.

269
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: I mean, Jadon Daniels is clearly front runner to win

270
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: Offensive Rookie of the Year. Malik Neighbors is a clear

271
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: number two. I mean the season he's had, He's posted

272
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: some numbers, there's some metric numbers where he has more

273
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: catches than any rookie through his first six games than

274
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: like a handful of other rookies. He's had just an

275
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: outstanding year. We've gotten to see him up close and personal.

276
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: He's an outstanding player that we're gonna have to deal

277
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: with for years to come. He's an outstanding outstanding player.

278
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 2: Let me mention a couple of players on defense, just

279
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: get your thoughts on them. I thought it was really

280
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: interesting last week someone asked Joe Whitt about Jeremy Chin

281
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: and what came out of his mouth was, it's on

282
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: me to send him more. Is the words he used,

283
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: and to give him an opportunity to make more plays

284
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: because he's emerging. And then this has happened week after week.

285
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: Right on Q you'll hear them say something like this.

286
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: He had seven tackles in the first half. He was

287
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: all over the place. He was extremely physical. He made

288
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: a great play in pursuit behind the line of scrimmage.

289
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: I believe it was on neighbors if I remember correctly

290
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: ended up with twelve combined tackles.

291
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: It might have been his best game of the year.

292
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: It was. And you when you got a player like

293
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: a cheery Jeremy Chen and what what what Joe? What Jr?

294
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: Is saying is I need to get him around the

295
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: ball more. I need to get him, you know, don't

296
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 3: have him played as much post safety. Let's get him

297
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: closer to the line of scrimmage. Let's blitch him. I

298
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: saw there were several times where they blitched him off

299
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: the edge, and a lot of those instances in the

300
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: past that would have been Frankie Louvo blitching off the edge.

301
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: They put Louvo back in coverage and had brought Chin

302
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: on some blitzeres off the edge. A nice little change up,

303
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: and I think from a just about engaging a guy

304
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: you look at let's look at the analogy, whether it's

305
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: a basketball scenario, even even football, when we talk about

306
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: getting Terry the ball early to get him engaged in

307
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: the in the game. So when you got to have

308
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: a guy like a Jeremy Champ, let's blitz him. Let's

309
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: get him a line, the line around the line of scrimmage.

310
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: Let's send him to get him engaged in the game early.

311
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: So now he feels a part of a major part

312
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: of the game playing. You were spot on by saying

313
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: that was his best game. He also did a lot

314
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: of nice things and coverage in that ball game as well.

315
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking about this all last week, especially

316
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: off the hangover of the Bears game.

317
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: You go watch the Giants.

318
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: They're extremely competitive, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

319
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: which I'll get to in a minute. This was not

320
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: going to be a cakewalk. That record is not really

321
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: indicative of how close they are in just about every

322
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: game they've played. They were tied in Pittsburgh in the

323
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: second half till a punt return was returned for a

324
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: touchdown against them. They easily could have beat Dallas earlier.

325
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: This year like they are in all the games that

326
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: they've played. It's just their record is what their record is.

327
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: One other thing, one of the defensive player, Dante Fowler,

328
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: whose name is probably going to come up here later again,

329
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: two more sacks, disruptive play, gets a turnover on a

330
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: fumble that he causes. Six and a half now on

331
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: the season, so he's trending towards a double digit sack season.

332
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: This guy has really over the last month, has really

333
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: become an impact player for the team.

334
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: Has and he's he's playing outstanding football. And you know,

335
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: we've we talked to him, I don't know if his

336
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: last week or a couple of weeks ago when he

337
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: talked about how he got off to the slow start

338
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: of the season, you know, partly doing maybe a little

339
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: rust not playing in the preseason, but also I think

340
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: he said he was banged up a little bit to

341
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: start the season. And you mentioned the six and a

342
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: half sacks. Six of those sacks have come in the

343
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: last five games. And he's not just making sacks, the hurries,

344
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: the pressure, the ability to make the quarterback step up

345
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: and you let other guys get to get to the quarterback.

346
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: Part of you mentioned our past past defense, going from

347
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: thirty first at the week two to being seventh I

348
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: think you said this time of the year, at this point,

349
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: in this junction of the season. Part of that has

350
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: been the pass rush being able to get more pressure

351
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: on the quarterback. And you know a lot of that

352
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: coincides with the emergence of Dante following away. He's played,

353
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: he's playing out standing football. And you know, I don't

354
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 3: know when the Pro Bowl batting starts, ballot starts, voting starts,

355
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: but he definitely should be, you know, high on people's

356
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 3: lists as a Pro Bowler this year.

357
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 2: You know what's so interesting about him is we got

358
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: to see him obviously in Dallas the last couple of

359
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: years playing in this defense, and largely he wasn't used

360
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: as much, you know, as he is here.

361
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: He was more in a situational role.

362
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: I don't have to go back and look at his snapcount,

363
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 2: but that might be a testament to the depth of

364
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: the positions that they had down there and the pass

365
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: rushers that they have with When Laurrance was down there,

366
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence, Mike Parsons, maybe there just wasn't enough room

367
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: to get him on the field as much so when

368
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: they signed him in the off season, I knew what

369
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: he was and I knew what kind of impact he

370
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: could have, but I perceived him kind of more as

371
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 2: a situational player than one who's doing this consistently throughout games.

372
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: And I apparently underestimated him because look at what he's

373
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: doing consistently.

374
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, you know.

375
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 3: He's definitely playing a lot more snaps, and some of

376
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: that was a byproduct of injuries. You know, Cleveland Pharaoh

377
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 3: Pharaoh got injured, he missed a couple of games. Durris

378
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: Armstrong got injured, so that forced that forced Dante follow

379
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: into a more of a play more playing time. But

380
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 3: to his credit, he's performed with those added snaps. He

381
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: and just his aware wherewithal on the on the sack

382
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: force fumble, he talked about the quarterback being under center

383
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: and he knew that was going to be a pass

384
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: play play action, so he got off at the snap,

385
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 3: beat the beat the tackle, and as he was right on,

386
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: he was right on Daniel Jones and forced that fumble

387
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: before Jones could get the ball out of his hands.

388
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 3: So just understanding, like, hey, I know this personnel grouping

389
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: is quarterback under center. Yeah, you know, some people might

390
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: think it's a run playing. You know, you you don't

391
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: want to just get up the field and create a

392
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: rushing lane. No, he understood, this is this on this

393
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: down and distance, this quarterback under center, this is a play,

394
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: a past look, a pass formation, understanding his keys and

395
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: knowing what the game plan says. And he got off

396
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: and he got that. He created that play.

397
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: So one more thing on the defense, it's we're taping

398
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: this on what they like to call around here tell

399
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: the truth.

400
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: Monday. I was a touch.

401
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: Surprise at how effective the Giants were late in the game,

402
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: scoring a couple of touchdowns to get it within reach.

403
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: It never felt like this was going to go the

404
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: wrong way, but it was a one score game on

405
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: two occasions in the fourth quarter after a couple of

406
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: long touchdown drives and one play down the seam to

407
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: THEO Johnson that I think that they want.

408
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: To have back.

409
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: There were a few plays the defense wants to have back.

410
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: So here's best case scenario for the coaches, Right, they

411
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 2: get to walk in there, talk about a win and

412
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: probably show a few plays that this team definitively wants back.

413
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm not I'm not concerned. I'm not overly

414
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: concerned about, you know, the mishaps that happened on in

415
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 3: the in the ball and again because I know this,

416
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: they have such really good coaches on that defensive defensive staff.

417
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: You know, I saw case in point prior to the game,

418
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 3: there was a they were working on the little hitch

419
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: route that neighbors hurt Us with where he would catch

420
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: the hitch and he would reverse pivot outside and make

421
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 3: the corner miss and was getting yards after the catch.

422
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: During pre game yesterday, I saw the corners working on hey,

423
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 3: coming up and tackling that hitch route. The defensive back

424
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 3: coach he had those guys working on them. So just

425
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: the attention to detail and making sure the guys are

426
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 3: correcting potential problem areas, they do a great job of that.

427
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 3: They'll do a great job of getting guys sued up

428
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: and saying, hey, even though we have a too high

429
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: shell coverage, we still need to fit we can yeah

430
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: and bite teams to run. Can't give up nine and

431
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 3: eight and ten yards on these run. Maybe we'll allow

432
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 3: them to get you four or five yards, but it

433
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: can be nine to ten yards. And part of that

434
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 3: was because maybe we just need to be a little

435
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: bit stouter in our gaps, maybe play a little bit downhill,

436
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: a little bit better, and things like that. So I'm

437
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: confident I know this coaching staff will We'll get those

438
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 3: things corrected. They'll get the things corrected that happened in

439
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: the passing game because this is an outstanding defensive coaching staff.

440
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gonna be an interesting test this week.

441
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: We'll get into it later with the power run game

442
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: of Pittsburgh. Two headed monster running backs that they have,

443
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: and they've got a really good, wily receiver in George

444
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: Pickens as well. So it's gonna be an interesting matchup

445
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: this weekend with Pittsburgh. We're getting that in a little bit, right.

446
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: Let me focus in on the offense in a little

447
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: bit with you, and I wanted to read this one

448
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: to you because this was I think this is the

449
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: game honestly. On that side of the ball, Jaden made

450
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 2: a couple of great plays, a couple of great calls.

451
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 2: We had talked about time management and how the coaches

452
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: really came to the forefront here too. We'll talk about

453
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 2: all of it in a moment, but this is what

454
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 2: really stuck out to me because coming into the game

455
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: that trio up front was playing as good as any

456
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 2: trio in the NFL. Dexter Lawrence is having an All

457
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: Pro season and might be the defensive player of the year.

458
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: And I didn't write this, The NFL wrote this. He

459
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: was the league leader in sacks. If that were to

460
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: happen at the end of the season, he would be

461
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: listed as the heaviest player ever to do that. It's

462
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: absurd when a defensive tackle leads the league in sacks,

463
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 2: but that's what he's doing. The guy on the outside

464
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: of him, Brian Burns, has been worth every penny over

465
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: the last month if you've watched how he's played, and

466
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: even without Cavon, Thibodeau, Azizo Jalai not unlike Dante Fowler

467
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: has had like five sacks over the last five games.

468
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: They have been extraordinary upfront, which I think was the

469
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: big concern for Washington this week with Cornelius Lucas unavailable,

470
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: banged up players on the inside, attrition in here. You

471
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: had to handle one of the best pass rush groups

472
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and they can do it with those

473
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: three and not bring a lot of heat. And then

474
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: there's this off of the game because obviously the offensive

475
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: line in the running backs deserve a lot of credit

476
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: for what happened yesterday on offense.

477
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: Listen to this one.

478
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: According to next Gen Stats, the Giant's defense generated only

479
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: five team pressures and zero sacks on twenty five dropbacks

480
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: twenty percent pressure rate, despite blitzing on sixty percent of

481
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: the dropbacks, the unit's highest blitz rate in a game

482
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: this season. So they didn't rely on that front. They

483
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: brought extra help and Washington's protection unit picked it up

484
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: over and over and over. No sacks against that group allowed.

485
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: That's the win of all wins. And that's the film

486
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 2: on Tell the Truth Monday that you celebrate today.

487
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: No, no, absolutely, it's it's It was a phenomenal job.

488
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: First and foremost by I think you got a credit

489
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: the the offensive coaches, whether it's Bobby Johnson, the offensive

490
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 3: line coach, former New York Giants offensive line coach. I'm

491
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: sure he he, you know, felt pretty good about having

492
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 3: that type of performance in New York. And then you

493
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 3: look at the Giants in the first game, they got

494
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: five sacks off of our offense. So to be able

495
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: to hold them to a zero sacks and very little

496
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: pressure that you may to the backs and the and

497
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: the tight ends. They did a great job of stoning blitzers,

498
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: picking up a different line stuts and and you know,

499
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 3: just doing a great job all in all, even when

500
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: they had to, you know, just block one on one guys,

501
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: And it's a it's a credit also the Jaden identifying

502
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 3: and knowing where the pressure was coming from getting the

503
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: ball out to whether it was his hot read or knowing, hey,

504
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 3: I got protection here, I don't need to throw it hot.

505
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: I'm okay letting this play develop. And and you know,

506
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 3: there were some times where they went well we went

507
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 3: max protection, which on a deep, deep crossing route to

508
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: to Noah Brown late in the game, I mean, a

509
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: beautiful throw. Maybe it was enough. It might even have

510
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: been in the first half of the deep crossing route

511
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 3: to him going, uh going, you know, great protection. And

512
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: then in the Alaminade's the kids played lay in the

513
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: ball game, go max pro and play action and hit

514
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: him on that play. Just as all around outstanding job

515
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 3: in Pass Pro.

516
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the running for a moment,

517
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: so we pointed this out on the air a number

518
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: of times. Chris Rodriguez had a devastating blitz pickup on

519
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: Brian Burns, just an outstanding block late in the game,

520
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler, over and over and over, picking up blitzers,

521
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: picking up the protection. To me, it was the story

522
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: because this was the spot. If there's one thing that

523
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: the Giants do really, really well, is they cause havoc

524
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: up front. They get sacks, they blow up drives, and

525
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: even though their offense is having a hard time scoring,

526
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: it's kept them in every game that they've played, and

527
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: they are a bounc or two away from different outcomes.

528
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: Washington's running backs and especially Rodriguez, who led the team

529
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 2: in rushing in yards and yards per carry and clearly

530
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: was on point with where his protection needed to be,

531
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: finding out ninety minutes before kickoff he was going to play,

532
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: because when we left to get on the bus in

533
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: the morning, I thought Robinson was playing yesterday, and then

534
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: when he wasn't, it was a surprise to me and

535
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: probably a little bit to Chris Rodriguez too. He deserves

536
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of credit for being prepared and having

537
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: playing a crucial role in the offense functioning the way

538
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: it did yesterday.

539
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, and I'm sure it's difficult to not know

540
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: if you're gonna play in a ball game, not know

541
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 3: if you're gonna be up or or inactive for a

542
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: ball game. So you don't really like how do you

543
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: mentally prepare for for that game? You know the night before, like, okay,

544
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: you have to prepare like you're playing. That's the only

545
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 3: way you rather be over prepared than underprepared. But still

546
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 3: is like, all right, you know, b Rob, he's probably

547
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: gonna play. And then once he got the got the

548
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: nod and saying hey you're up, it's an hour and

549
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: a half before the game, or two hours maybe maybe

550
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: it was he knew maybe two hours before. Now you

551
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 3: got to flip the switch and get it too that

552
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: mode and knowing hey I'm gonna be up, and not

553
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: only am I going to be up, I'm gonna play

554
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: a lot in this ball game. So being able to

555
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: be on point from a game play standpoint that that

556
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: that play where where he had to block Brian Burns,

557
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: that's a full slide protection. So the offensive line is

558
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: working away from him because you go on play action,

559
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: you slip slipping, being sent it out to the flat

560
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: as a fullback pass and you're leaving your running back

561
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: to block one of the best pass rushers International Football League.

562
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: You have to be a grown man. I've seen so

563
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: many running backs, Oh, lay that block, missed that block,

564
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 3: get the quarterback hit, get the quarterback sack, or allowed

565
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 3: pressure to where the quarterback can't get to that ball

566
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: to an open receiver. He ran up, cut out the

567
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: thigh pads of Brian Burns and allowed a window for

568
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: Jade Dais to be able to throw that throw that

569
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 3: pass to Ben send it on a critical third and

570
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: one I think think it was thirty one situation, maybe

571
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: fourth to one. Uh to to convert that that that

572
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: had that conversion, Kudos to him, man. And then when

573
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: he when he had to run the football, what is hey,

574
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: we got to grind his ball out, grind a clock

575
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: out move to football. He made some tough, hard physical runs.

576
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting too.

577
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: We got to interview him and Austin Eckler at the

578
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: same time.

579
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: After the games.

580
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: They walked out of the locker room together and I

581
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: asked Rodriguez about the block that he made on Burns

582
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: and he goes, you know, the guy next to me.

583
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 2: These are the cutups they show in our meetings. How

584
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: he picks up the blocks. Eckler was outstanding yesterday in protection.

585
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: He obviously scored a touchdown. They've asked a lot of him.

586
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: This is again, the run game even without b Rob

587
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: function really well. There is a difference. I want to

588
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: point this out, like, go look at yards per carry

589
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: in total yards on the rush, and the Giants aren't

590
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: the best rush defense in the NFL this year. You

591
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: see the difference when b Rob isn't out there, but

592
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: the fact that they can survive be effective turn to

593
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: numerous different players to continue to run the ball and

594
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: to me, the most impressive thing the protection aspect of

595
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: it without him out there. The testament again to the

596
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: coaching and the preparedness of the offense here.

597
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, no, absolutely, And you just go back that

598
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: just to post that having be not having b robed

599
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: in the game against Baltimore and not having be robbing

600
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: the game Yester again against the Giants game against the

601
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: the Ravens, we only ran the ball eighteen times through

602
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: it I think thirty five times. So you know, that's

603
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 3: that's not the type of balance you want. That wasn't

604
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 3: the type of balance we had, you know, getting to

605
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: that point in the season where we had so much

606
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: success yesterday's ball game. Thirty eight carries, thirty eight rushing

607
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: attempts and only twenty two pass attempts. That's you know,

608
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: running the football being effective when you run the ball.

609
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 3: You mentioned Eckler, he had forty two yards rushing, Chrich

610
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: Rodriguez fifty two yards. You know, Jaden had, you know,

611
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: thirty five yards rushing, Jeremy mc mitchell, Nichols twenty yards.

612
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: So you know we had minus the Neil downs at

613
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 3: the end of the game, we rush for over one

614
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards in that ball game. That's great

615
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 3: production out of your out of your running backs. Yeah.

616
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: Last week they had three different players rush for over

617
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: fifty yards. It was the first team in the NFL

618
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: this year to have three different players to rush for

619
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: over fifty yards in the same game. They were darn

620
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: close to it again this week, without their best lead

621
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: running back. They almost did it again. It's really amazing.

622
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get into the two moments that really

623
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: I think stand out that everybody's talking about today. End

624
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: of the first half, first third and eighteen one time

625
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: out left. Honestly, I don't even think they were trying

626
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: to get a first down they were just trying to

627
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: get into field goal range and Diami Brown makes an

628
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: unbelievable play to give them an opportunity. And I'm telling

629
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: you this quarterback, he snatches souls because given the opportunity,

630
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: which if the Giants tackle Brown he never would have got.

631
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: He gets one shot at this with no timeouts, and

632
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: it's a.

633
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: Dark, perfect throw.

634
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: You can't ask for a better throw than that to

635
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: McLaurin for the touchdown.

636
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: Man, I'll standing playing. As you mentioned on the on

637
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: the third and eighteen play, it's just hey, uh, Diami.

638
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: He starts off in a in a chip situation where

639
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: he helped slow down the pass rusher, gives the right

640
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: tackle while a little bit of help. Then he goes

641
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: out and releases in the flat and you know, Jaden

642
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: gets gets the ball to him and you know he

643
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 3: got into us so him quickly he allowed He allowed

644
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: Diami the opportunity to run after the catch, and Diami

645
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: made made a guy missed. I would have loved for

646
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 3: Diam to get out of bows to say the time out,

647
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: but you know he stayed in bounds and he picked

648
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: up a few more yards and you know, fortunately we

649
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: had one more time out. And we use it. But

650
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, a dark to Terry, it was kind

651
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: of a pseudo slug go and go slant go, but

652
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: the the back shoulder putting the ball where only Terry

653
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: can get it. And you know, Terry had to feel

654
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: great about getting those two touchdowns against the AA Banks

655
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 3: who who If you remember a year ago he made

656
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: the video talking about uh, talk about We're gonna have

657
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: to deal with him for a long time in the division.

658
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 3: And you know, he kind of disrespectful to Terry. I

659
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: know he's kind of hurt that we drafted a corner

660
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 3: over him. Yeah, and before him drafted forward. But you

661
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: gotta sometimes be be a little bit humble bee quiet.

662
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: And you know Terry got two touchdowns on him yesterday.

663
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: He did.

664
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't this is I can't believe this

665
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: is commonplace. But the fourth down throw against Baltimore to

666
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: Terry for a touchdown, Daniel's clutch moment.

667
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: Has to have it.

668
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: The crazy pass he threw on Monday Night Football getting

669
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: hit when Terry's at the twenty that sealed that which

670
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: was the first huge win really of this season on

671
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football. The Hail Mary notwithstanding, I mean, yeah,

672
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: there's some luck that goes into that, but he threw

673
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: it sixty five yards in the air and it landed

674
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: exactly where it needed to land to have the luck occur.

675
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: This throw, this throw cannot be underrated. You mentioned the

676
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: one to Noah Brown earlier where that was between defenders.

677
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: That was ridiculous, that throw. He did one in Cincinnati

678
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: to McCaffrey on a fourth down where McCaffrey wasn't even

679
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: supposed to be on that part of the field, but

680
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: he found him and did this. The special plays that

681
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: he is making over and over and over, and to

682
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: do it with the time on the clock when he's

683
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: doing it, you got one shot at that play to

684
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: McLaurin or you're kicking a field goal, and it's perfection.

685
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: It truly, I don't.

686
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: Even have the words for it anymore. It's really really

687
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: incredible what we're witnessing from him as a rookie right now.

688
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: No, it really is. And I've been around the game

689
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: just as a player. I mean, I played sixteen years

690
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 3: Brown and I've been I've had I don't know how

691
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: many quarterbacks have played with Hall of Fame quarterback Kurk Warren,

692
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 3: her play with with Drew Bledsoe, who was a you know,

693
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: perennial pro bowler. You know, r RG three had the

694
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: great rookie season. McNabb, who had been a perennial pro bowler,

695
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: had some rookies as quarterbacks. And when I say, man,

696
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 3: what I'm seeing and what we're witnessing, it's just so special.

697
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: And you know, Kurt had that special season back in

698
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: ninety nine. Kurt Warner had it in ninety nine with

699
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: the Greatest Show on Turf. But Kurt was a lot older.

700
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: He had been through some things. He had played in

701
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 3: the Arena League. He you know, had had his his

702
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 3: first year as that started with his second year in

703
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 3: the NFL, So he had a lot more you know,

704
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: stripes on his belt, so to speak, a lot more experiences.

705
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: But for Jade to be doing this just nine games

706
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 3: into his NFL career, I've never seen anything like it. Man.

707
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 3: It's this kid is special and and that's an understatement

708
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 3: to say how special he is. And this is what

709
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: I tell you, He's on going to get better. The

710
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: more experience that he gets, like the more opportunities that

711
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: he gets against seeing defenses, you know, seeing the dis

712
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: Giants defense for the second time seeing these. You know,

713
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 3: we'll play Philadelphia twice, We'll play Dallas twice. You'll see,

714
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: you know, all the different variations of defenses and just

715
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: understanding trusting certain things, being able to understand what's a

716
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: what's ope considered opening the NFL, and what's you know,

717
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: throwing the guy open. You look at how he was

718
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 3: in that first game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where

719
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 3: you know, there was some guys that he probably could

720
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 3: have pulled the trigger on and threw the football too

721
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 3: earlier in that game, but didn't throw it next week, Okay,

722
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 3: all right, I'm trusting, I'm gonna throw it. Then he

723
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: gave more confidence and he's just gonna get continued to

724
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: get better. Man, watch out as he continues to develop

725
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 3: in this league.

726
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: I believe it. I really don't think it's an overstatement.

727
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: I think it's the best season any rookie quarterbacks ever

728
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: had to this point. And visually, what the record is,

729
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 2: how he he's playing, what role he's playing. He still

730
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: is an earshot of being the completion percentage leader in

731
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 2: the NFL. If he were to do that, he would

732
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: be the first rookie since the nineteen thirties to do that,

733
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: and those quarterbacks through the ball six times a game

734
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 2: and the leader had six hundred yards passing. I mean,

735
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 2: he's just a completely different game that they're playing now.

736
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: It's absurd, honestly, and it's unprecedented and it's historic. And

737
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: I think the thing that really gets me every time

738
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: about it is what would you bring these things up

739
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: to him or you point out these moments that we

740
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: all know, you played it, you were in it. You

741
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 2: know how special some of those things are that occurred,

742
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: how unusual it is for a quarterback to do some

743
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: of the things he's doing, and he's doing it in

744
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: his rookie season, and he shrugs. He's like, yeah, that

745
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 2: ball could He said in the press conference yesterday that

746
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: the ball he threw to Terry could have been better

747
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: that he was Actually it could have been a little

748
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 2: more towards a shoulder.

749
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: That he wanted it to be.

750
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: To hail Mary, he kind of he had to at

751
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: least admit that was unusual and special. But he he

752
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: shrugs at all these things. He is so medium in

753
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 2: his demeanor. It's unbelievable that he is not sitting here.

754
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 2: He has to know how good it is. But he

755
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: just won't outwardly show that it's affected him whatsoever.

756
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 3: I think that's a credit to his parents. And I

757
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: actually mentioned this to his dad. I met his dad

758
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: a few weeks back, and I was like, man, you

759
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 3: all have done a great job raising him, because I

760
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 3: wanted him to know, like, yeah, you know what he's doing. Parents,

761
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: I mean, players and fans. We can see the stuff

762
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: you see on the field, the talent. It speaks for

763
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: himself of when you just look at the humility and

764
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 3: from the very firse time we ever interviewed him, which

765
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: was a day after he got drafted, just like man,

766
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: it was myself smooth, sad town, I believe, and Logan

767
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 3: we interviewed it. We're just like, man, this guy's just

768
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: he is just so humble. Like you you're thinking, okay's

769
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: he's a little different. But again this was our first

770
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 3: time meeting him. Is he gonna stay like this? And man,

771
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 3: he's done. They've done a great job raising him, and

772
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 3: he's you know, obviously not allowed the success he's had

773
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 3: prior to this season, winning the Heightsman Trophy and all

774
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 3: the other things he's accomplished to go to his head.

775
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: When you mentioned him talking about the the play being

776
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 3: a little bit could have been better that the football throw,

777
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: that touchdown throw, the tear. That reminded me of an

778
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: article that I read about Tom Brady years ago, and

779
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 3: Brady he had already been I think he had already

780
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 3: won maybe two MVPs, had already won three Super Bowls,

781
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 3: and Brady still worked with the quarterback coach in the

782
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 3: off season, and they asked him why is he why

783
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 3: does he still continue to work with the quarterback coach

784
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: even given all that he had accomplished, And Brady said,

785
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 3: I want my throws to be to go for being

786
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: six inches off target to six centimeters off target. And

787
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: when he said that, I'm like, that's why he's the

788
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: greatest of all time.

789
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: I mean like it reads like, dude, you just hit

790
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: a bull's eye, like and he's going yeah, but not

791
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 2: in the center of the bull's eye.

792
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: I had it over here.

793
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: I wanted to be over there, and I'm like, boy,

794
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: we're like, okay, great, I hope you do next time

795
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: because that throw was unbelievable and just could say I

796
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm serious when I say this, like the hail Mary

797
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 2: is it's incredible that it happened. Yeah, those two plays

798
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: at the end of the half were equally as unlikely

799
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: as happening as one chuck down the field that gets

800
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: tipped up in the air to go from third and

801
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: eighteen to scoring with one time out from the eighteen

802
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 2: yard line or wherever they were on the forty yard line.

803
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: To even get in a position to do it.

804
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: The odds of that happening or just about as low

805
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 2: as as some chucked up It is, like, it's amazing

806
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: what we're witnessing.

807
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: Here's here. I'll take you even something that that when

808
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 3: you look at it, I don't know if you've seen

809
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 3: it yet. Yesterday there was a play where they're bringing

810
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 3: artz on a on an over route and Jaden was

811
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: about to throw it. He's beating them, he's kind of

812
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 3: getting behind the linebacker, and I think the Giants were

813
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 3: playing cover three, So there was a safety that was

814
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 3: potentially that was coming down that if Jaden had thrown

815
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 3: that football, that safety would have intercepted. He goes and

816
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: throw it, pulls it back in, tucks it and runs

817
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 3: for a first down, like I don't know how many

818
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 3: times for him to be at a process that like

819
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: he was a bomb throwing like, oh no, I can't

820
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 3: throw it, tucks it back and runs for a first down.

821
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 3: Like for him to see that that safety rotation like yeah,

822
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 3: I'm reading this hook defender. Yeah, I can get it

823
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 3: over here him. But the curl flat defender end up

824
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: dropping it. He would have he would have intercepted that

825
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: pass if Jada Jada had threw that ball. Just the

826
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 3: decision to not throw that football, that's something that you know,

827
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 3: I know, I recognize, Like, man, that's that's a big

828
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 3: time play too.

829
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: Neo from the matrix. He's dodging bullets. It's wild. One

830
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 2: other one, yeah, one other play I gotta bring up

831
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 2: and then we'll move on. The winning play is the

832
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 2: throw to alamade z A Kias, which in real time,

833
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: even we were we were surprised at what the Giants

834
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: did here. Under three minutes to go. They have all

835
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 2: three of their timeouts, they're down five. They have to

836
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: get the ball back. Washington runs the ball for one yard.

837
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: They got a second and nine. The Giants don't use

838
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 2: a time out here and they let the clock start

839
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: to run. Washington has to run a play before the

840
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: two minute warning. But if they're smart, and they were,

841
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 2: they wait till it gets to whatever it was, two

842
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 2: of five, two four, And at this point they've opened

843
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: the door for them to do whatever they want here

844
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 2: because even in in completion, the Giants aren't gonna get

845
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: an extra stoppage of play. So that's a question for

846
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 2: them to have to answer to their media today. But

847
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 2: the awareness to know that they could do this and

848
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 2: then execute it and pull it off. Another play of

849
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: the game.

850
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was the second and nine. It was

851
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 3: the ball was on our like thirty one yard line,

852
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 3: and so I like, I first of all, love the call.

853
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: So you get information where you know James and a pistol,

854
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 3: you got, you got Chris Rodriguez line up directly behind him,

855
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: You've got your your your two blocking tight ends and

856
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: the ball and everything says run. They go play action

857
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,479
Speaker 3: pass and the Giants they have to respect that pass play,

858
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 3: but they've runs the key is from a slot and

859
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 3: he runs a deep corner route. It was like a

860
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 3: twenty yard corner route. And even with the Giants trying

861
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 3: to play zone, it's just extremely difficult for a defender

862
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 3: to cover that much spake ground when it happens that

863
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 3: far down the field, where I think the kids. He

864
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 3: ended up catching the ball maybe twenty twenty five yards

865
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: down the field. That's a void area, especially against the

866
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 3: cover three defense that the that the Giants did, and

867
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 3: you had you had a guy in the flat, so

868
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 3: you hold up covered, you hold the flat defender, you

869
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: run a gold ball I think with Diami the clear coverage,

870
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 3: and then you hit you hit the kids on that

871
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 3: deep corner route. Our standing play, but also from a

872
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 3: clock management standpoint, it was a you know, not a

873
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: great moment for the Giants as well, especially when you

874
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 3: had when you had, you know, three timeouts.

875
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 2: All right, time to give out the belt this week

876
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 2: championship belt was.

877
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: Last week's twitter was jayden Right Jane Daniels.

878
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: I think he's put up a case to defend, honestly,

879
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 2: considering the way he played yesterday. He's up against who who.

880
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: You got Fouler for two sacks, Dote Fowler.

881
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 3: Filed I got filled for two sacks. So you know,

882
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 3: so Jada's he's the current champion. You know, you have

883
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 3: to beat the champion in order to you know, take

884
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 3: away the bell. Jada's numbers fifteen for twenty two two

885
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 3: hund nine yards, had two touchdown passes you got also

886
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 3: throwing his rushing yards. Eight rushers for thirty five yards.

887
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 3: That's those are Jada's number in that ball game. As

888
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 3: far as Dante Fowler see what he did, had six

889
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 3: to six total tackles, three solos, two sacks, two tackles

890
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: for loss. Obviously the huge force fumble sack force fumble

891
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 3: that we recovered and ended up allowing us to get

892
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 3: our first seven points on the board. Now, Brown, this

893
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 3: is this is a tough decision, man, especially when you

894
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 3: consider how the Giants have been moving to football off

895
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: to start that game, to start a game off and

896
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 3: follow recognizing formation, recognizing that play, making that play, forcing

897
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 3: that fullboard an us being able to recover and get

898
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 3: get that seven point lead. The game could would have

899
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 3: been a little bit different if they Giant score that

900
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 3: and that on that possession. With that being said, the

901
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 3: Week nine Commanders Heavyweight champion is and still champion. Jada Dallias,

902
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 3: I knew you, bet, I knew you had to go

903
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 3: this way because once we set up all the magic

904
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 3: things that he did, you can't take the belt away.

905
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 2: It might be a split decision, It's possibility it's a

906
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 2: split decision between the judges.

907
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, but two to one, he keeps

908
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: the belt.

909
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: Or even split decision or draw, he keeps the belt.

910
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: He keeps the belt. He keeps the belt. Regardless. To

911
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 3: take the belt from the champion, you have to beat him.

912
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 3: And Dante did some bright things. He it was, it was,

913
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 3: it went, It went to full twelve rounds. But at

914
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 3: the end of the day, Jada keeps his belt. All right.

915
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 2: One other topic before we get to the Steelers, because

916
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: I haven't you know, I saw them on Monday night

917
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 2: and obviously against the Giants to get ready. So but

918
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 2: we're you know, we'll prepare for the Steelers in a moment.

919
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: I want you to hear one thing. I want to

920
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 2: play a bite for you from Dan Quinn's press conference

921
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: after the game last night on Terry McLaurin, who had

922
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: two catches, two touchdowns, the one yard touchdown pass and

923
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 2: then of course the one we talked about a lot

924
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the half with that throw from

925
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: Daniel's catch he made on that side of the end zone,

926
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: and Quinn was asked specifically just about McLaurin and his

927
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 2: role on this team as one of the prominent carryovers

928
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: from last year is not a lot of them. They

929
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 2: have one of the prominent carryovers. And what he's meant

930
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: to the team, and this is what Dan Quinn said

931
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: about it.

932
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 4: He's a real pros pro. And we had somebody talk

933
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 4: to the team yesterday, Bob Myers, and he talked about

934
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 4: some people about their role in winning, and he told

935
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 4: a story about andre Iguodala coming off the bench to

936
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 4: go and whatever was best for the team, and then

937
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 4: in that same season he ended up being a Finals MVP.

938
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 4: But the message I thought that was so strong was

939
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 4: would he say the same things publicly that he would

940
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 4: privately that was best for the team. And when it's

941
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 4: really about winning, that's a really big deal. And that's

942
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 4: what Terry McLaurin is about winning, and he absolutely delivers.

943
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 4: He strains to fight for I love the connection with Jayden,

944
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 4: but I feel his energy, I feel his presence in

945
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 4: the game. Whatever it takes to go. But a number

946
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 4: of different people stepped up today, but Terry's a pros

947
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 4: pro and man are we fortunate we got him. He's

948
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 4: been so much fun to coach.

949
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: So we talked about Bob Myers, architect of the Dynasty,

950
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,479
Speaker 2: and Golden State, and he brought up andre Egadala there,

951
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: andre Igadala's starr in his own right for years Philadelphia

952
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: seventy six ers, became a sixth man for those Warriors

953
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 2: championship teams, and he just described how, you know what,

954
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 2: this guy probably could have played a lot more than

955
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: he did, but just did what was best for the team.

956
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 2: Ultimately ended up being an MVP as a sixth man

957
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 2: for the Warriors in one of those championship years. And

958
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't describe Terry obviously, he's a six man. He's

959
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: a prominent player here as a number one receiver. But

960
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 2: I get what he's talking about where Terry is willing

961
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 2: to put aside, I'll have ten catches a game, fifteen

962
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: hundred yard seasons, all for the sake of winning, and

963
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I thought that was a really

964
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: well put way to put this and what he means

965
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: for this team, because it is what he's about, and

966
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 2: I think it's what Quinn is trying to preach, and

967
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: it's why even though he's part of the past, he

968
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: is definitively part of what this team's future looks like.

969
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: No, you're absolutely right, and when you have a guy

970
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 3: like Terry who just regardless of the situation, regardless of winning, losing,

971
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 3: losing season, winning season, whatever the case may be, catching

972
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 3: ten passes or is in the case of yesterday, catching

973
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 3: two passes on only three targets. Now he did catching

974
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, but two touchdowns for nineteen two catching for

975
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 3: nineteen yards. I've had, I've been around receivers, especially number

976
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: one receivers. They're so selfish, like they only care about

977
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: their numbers. They're not about winning. They as long as

978
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 3: they get their numbers. And if we lost, they didn't

979
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 3: they were happy. But if they didn't catch you know,

980
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 3: eight balls or ten balls and we won the game,

981
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 3: they're not happy. They're dissatisfied, they're grumpy, they're you know,

982
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 3: just all their mild content. But when you have a

983
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 3: guy like that, and when Bob Myers talks about what

984
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 3: a guy like Igwadalla meant to the championship runs of

985
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 3: the of the Golden State Warriors, and what he what

986
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 3: all he accompassed, and the winning you know pedigree that

987
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 3: he that even before they became winners, what he brought

988
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 3: and meant to that team, that goes a long way.

989
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't think anybody who's watched Terry

990
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 3: Place since he's been in Washington will say he's not

991
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 3: a winner, regardless of what has happened with the team.

992
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 3: So I'm happy to see him have the type of

993
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 3: success that he's having, you.

994
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: Know, I think too.

995
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting, like so many people have talked

996
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 2: about they wanted Adam Peters to do this, So they

997
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 2: want Adam Peters to do that, and they just want

998
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 2: them to bring people in. And Dan Quit has talked

999
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: about like, we're not here just to acquire talent, and.

1000
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: Peters has said this too.

1001
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: We're here to acquire players that are gonna, you know,

1002
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: be in our program, be selfless in a lot of ways,

1003
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 2: and want to be part of the team to win.

1004
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 2: And you're just seeing this over and over, which is

1005
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 2: why I think they've maintained this discipline and they've been

1006
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: reward for it. Like they have a lot of veterans

1007
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 2: on this team that kind of came in here. But

1008
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner isn't telling you how great he is. Franky

1009
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 2: Luvu isn't telling you how great he is. Dante Fowler's

1010
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 2: having this incredible kind of tenth year breakout type of

1011
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 2: moment for him, but he's not sitting here crowing about

1012
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 2: how grad he is. And we talked about Jayden, who's

1013
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 2: sitting there shrugging through the whole thing. And Terry, who

1014
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 2: I think has just been waiting for this, waiting for

1015
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: so long. He wants to win, he wants to win

1016
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 2: in this uniform, and he's been waiting for so long

1017
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 2: to have the opportunity to do it. And he doesn't

1018
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 2: need you to tell him how Grady is along the way.

1019
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 2: It's it's really it's magic what's going on here right now?

1020
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 3: No, it is. You know, we didn't we didn't get

1021
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 3: a chance to really talk about Bobby Wagner and I

1022
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 3: was just you know, just watching him and there was

1023
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 3: some plays, some tackles he made. I'm like, man, how

1024
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 3: did this guy like you know, avoid this block or

1025
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 3: change direction and make this sure tackle. He's he's having

1026
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 3: another phenomenal season. We knew he was, you know, going

1027
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 3: to be bringing great leadership, but the playmaking ability to

1028
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 3: the being that coach on the field and doing all

1029
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 3: the different things, but then also going out and having

1030
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 3: an impact on the games with his play and his performance.

1031
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: I think just the culture you talk about Hey, we're

1032
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 3: not just acquiring talent. It's about building the team and

1033
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 3: building the right team right, building the team with the

1034
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 3: right people, you know, whether it's from the from the

1035
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 3: front office guys in scouting, to the coaching staff, to

1036
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 3: the players, to the support staff, all those things matter

1037
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 3: when you're trying to build a win an organization.

1038
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, as you kind of look around the NFC, I mean,

1039
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: Detroit's done this. Detroit is front running in the NFC

1040
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 2: for good reason. They have a culture, like they have

1041
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 2: the people that they want there that they feel like

1042
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: they can win with. You can feel that energy from

1043
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 2: them that it's really internal and not external. And I

1044
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 2: think Washington's at the cutting edge of this for this

1045
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 2: franchise because similarly, it's been a while since they've been

1046
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: a consistent winner. You know, Fortunately they have the history

1047
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: of having won in the past and having periods time,

1048
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 2: which Detroit doesn't have. But there's a similar kind of

1049
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 2: thing that's going on here where you saw Detroit do this.

1050
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: They've now turned into a team that's consistently very good, formidable,

1051
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 2: and Washington seems to be maybe a little ahead of

1052
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,919
Speaker 2: that curve or a little ahead of schedule. But they're

1053
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 2: right there in building what they want in this building

1054
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 2: to compete hopefully, I mean, let's see where this one goes,

1055
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 2: but hopefully annually.

1056
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 3: Now I think you're absolutely right. This is whether it's

1057
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 3: ahead of schedule A all schedule depends on you know,

1058
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 3: who you ask as far as what the Adam Peters

1059
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 3: and Dan Quinn they'll you know, they'll even the player.

1060
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 3: They might say, this is where we expected to be.

1061
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 3: We knew we were putting together a great team and

1062
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 3: and I'm I'm interested to see, you know, are they

1063
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 3: gonna is a team gonna do something doing a trade

1064
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 3: down line? When you look at, hey, where we are

1065
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 3: seven or two, and look at the NFC as a

1066
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 3: whole and say, okay, it's hard not to say we're

1067
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 3: not one of the top teams in the NFC, top

1068
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 3: top two to three teams in the NFC, and say,

1069
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 3: all right, who are the potential teams we can face

1070
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 3: in the playoff game or in an NFC championship, Well,

1071
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 3: how do we stack up against them? And I'm sure

1072
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 3: they are and said, okay, what would we need to

1073
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 3: add to these pieces to our current situation in order

1074
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 3: to ensure or give ourselves the best chance to beat

1075
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 3: this team. Whoever these teams might be in the playoffs,

1076
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 3: so I'm sure they're I want to see if we

1077
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 3: decide to do something. If they don't, I trust them

1078
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 3: because hell, based on what they've shown and what they've

1079
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 3: done again, they're only going to acquire the right people. Yeah. Yeah,

1080
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 3: it's a lot of talented players out there, but if

1081
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 3: it's not the right player and the right one for

1082
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 3: that team, that locker room, that culture, then they're not

1083
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 3: gonna bring them in. And I'm fine with that.

1084
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 2: Interesting as we end today, we're taking on a team

1085
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 2: that's had a really good culture for a long time.

1086
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, very stable organization. Mike Tomlin has never had

1087
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 2: an under five hundred record. They're trending that way again.

1088
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: Heck of a test this week Pittsburgh coming off a bye.

1089
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how much you've seen to the Steelers

1090
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 2: so far, but what are your expectations. I mean, it's

1091
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 2: early in the week, but what are your expectations facing

1092
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh this weekend.

1093
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 3: It's been tough, it'll be a tough matchup, but I

1094
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 3: think it'll be a great game. And you know, the

1095
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 3: way we're playing, We're playing with great confidence. I think

1096
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 3: buys can be a little bit overrated, you know, in

1097
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 3: terms of teams having a little bit more rest. Yeah,

1098
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 3: it'll if they had some guys who were banged up

1099
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 3: and potentially would have been iffy for the ball game

1100
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 3: if they had to play us, you know, coming off

1101
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 3: a game, but having that extra kind of a few

1102
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 3: days of rest. I don't even know what buys now,

1103
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of midway through the season. Not

1104
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 3: sure what what Mike Thomlin opted to do. Did they

1105
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 3: practice two days last week and then gave the guys

1106
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 3: extra a couple of days off, or did they come

1107
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 3: in early. Maybe they'll have one more extra day of

1108
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: practice for us in preparation for Monday's game. But sometimes

1109
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 3: you can also overthink and overdo things doing the buy

1110
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 3: because you have so much time coaches, coaches can end

1111
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 3: up watching a lot more of them than they normally would,

1112
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 3: you know, during the during the week the Bears, I think.

1113
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: The Bears did. I think the Bears did when they

1114
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: came into whatever they were running on offensive, The first

1115
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: f kept backfiring over and over, and it felt like

1116
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: some kind of wrinkle that they weren't prepared to actually

1117
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 1: put on the field, and it was to the commander's benefit, honestly.

1118
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, And one thing about the Pittsburgh Steelers, they're extremely

1119
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 3: well coached. That defense is gonna be They got a

1120
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 3: couple of problem guys on that defense with with obviously T. J. Watt,

1121
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 3: and they got another edge rusher, I Smith. He really

1122
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 3: gets out of quarterback. And you know they got they

1123
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 3: got really good linebackers. They got a good corner Jordy Port,

1124
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 3: Joey Porter Junior. So it'll be a challenge. It'll be

1125
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 3: a good thing, good challenge. But I know what thing,

1126
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna be ready to play and they better they

1127
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 3: they've be ready to play too, So it'll be a

1128
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 3: hell of a football game.

1129
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually I think Pittsburgh secondary is probably better

1130
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 2: than New York's. But there's a lot of similarities actually

1131
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 2: between these teams. Really good pass rushing front, very disruptive

1132
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 2: front that they're gonna have to deal with, very good

1133
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 2: running backs, good two headed monster run game, and a

1134
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 2: quarterback who at times might give the ball away. And

1135
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 2: they're not scoring a lot of points. There are some

1136
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 2: similarities to the type of opponent that they're facing. Albeit

1137
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 2: I think Pittsburgh's back end of their defense is better

1138
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: on the whole, has a better defense, but I think

1139
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 2: offensively similar similar thought process probably for dan Quinn Joe

1140
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 2: Witt with how do we handle explosive receivers knowing that

1141
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: this is a tough run game that they're going to

1142
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 2: have to deal with this weekend.

1143
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's all It'll be a great kind of

1144
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 3: week of preparation. That's the beauty of this game.

1145
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 2: Man.

1146
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 3: You know, every week presents as new, it's all new challenges.

1147
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 3: That's the thing I like, guys, I'm off to ask

1148
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 3: what do I miss most about the game of football?

1149
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 3: And quite brown, I missed the the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

1150
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 3: you know Saturday leading up the game, where I'm sitting

1151
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 3: there and there, you know, watching film, grinding the film

1152
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 3: out and trying to okay, develop, seeing how this team

1153
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 3: is going to attack us, how we're gonna attack them,

1154
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 3: you know, putting yourself in a different play calls, and

1155
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 3: each week, okay, this week we might have this challenge.

1156
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 3: We're about to stop this type of offense. This maybe

1157
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 3: it's a receiver that we got to deal with a

1158
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 3: tight end. And then this next week, okay, they got

1159
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 3: a Derek Henry we gotta deal with. They got it,

1160
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 3: you know whoever the case may be, you name it,

1161
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 3: and it's the running game or it's a running quarterback.

1162
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 3: So it's that's the beauty of this game. Each week,

1163
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 3: each game presents it all different challenges and situations. And

1164
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,959
Speaker 3: I know they're looking forward to this, this this type

1165
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 3: of game, and I'm looking forward to callings that with you.
