We're gonna take 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.760 a look back at the game against the Denver Broncos today. 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.199 We'll go ahead and have a sit down with the 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.839 linebacker Landing Roberts, Roberts who seems to be blowing people up, 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.760 no doubt about that. And then we'll, uh, we'll go 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.959 behind the enemy lines, take a look at the New 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.000 York Jets, the opponent this week, and then we'll have 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.599 some xs and bows when we get to the end. 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.479 But to get started off with Morgan and Morgan Law, 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.760 we're gonna take our look back and John looking back 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.800 at that game, and well, it looked like it looked 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.000 like three of the last five games. Uh. In that 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.720 first quarter when first series you go three and out 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.080 and then you you're forced to turnover X comes up 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.360 with the interception, You're punch it in you Here we 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.399 go again. It's gonna be another one of those games. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.520 But after that, uh, everything kind of fell apart. And John, 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.560 I don't know about you, but I just felt like 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.960 this football team, the Dolphins football team really never got 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.520 into sink on either side of the football. Special teams 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.120 played well enough, but on either side and football offense 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.199 and defense, I think they were I think they lost 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.559 the battle with the line of scrimmage both ways, and 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.600 it just seemed like it was a a disjointed effort. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.319 To me. Well, I agree with you, bo, I think 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.039 it was a flat effort. After the initial interception and 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.560 the touchdown throw from to Ah to Parker in the 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.920 end zone, I think the Dolphins got off to that 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.360 start would made you feel like, here we go again. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.440 This is gonna be set up by defense and special teams. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.440 The offense is gonna get get it done just enough 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.200 to be able to keep that touchdown or ten point 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.400 lead and maybe expound upon that in the second half. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.040 But this is how the Dolphin are gonna win games. 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.480 And then I believe you know it was it was 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.120 funny because Drew Lock, who's thrown the most interceptions in 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.720 the National Football League. Denver has given up the football 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.600 more than anybody in the National Football League. They all 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.200 of a sudden turned into you know, the grinch. They 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.960 didn't give anything up and and he was, you know, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.079 hitting on big plays in the passing game. They had 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.320 a one to punch in combination with Lindsley and Gordon 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.840 being able to run the football. And as you said, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.360 bo I thought the Miami Dolphins the poorest outing, I 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.320 think by the offensive line not being able to win 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.320 their one on one matchups, not picking up you know, 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.080 simple twists that the line of scrimmage. And then on defense, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.040 if it was like the Green Bay Packers were, you 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.120 know it was it was the college sweep. You know, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.680 it was like here comes the counter, here comes the counter. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.960 You can't stop, but we're gonna run it again. And 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.560 that's exactly what Denver did. They went old school on 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.519 the Miami Dolphins with a couple of explosive plays in 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.840 the passing game and that was enough. And you know 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.480 when they kept running them over and over, it's one 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.480 of those since you said, look we're gonna run it. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.000 We'll run to both sides until you stop it. We're 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.920 gonna keep running it and you know it. You know, 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.000 this team the defensively, this team has gotten better over 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.160 the last handful horse last month or so. It's setting 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.400 the edges and playing perimeter defense. Well that went out 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.280 the door yesterday because you know, it seemed like every 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.840 time that Denver ran it, and no matter who was 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.640 was running it, you know, whoever whoever it was running 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.919 the football always seemed to have that two way go. 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:27.960 You know, there was you know, if that if that, 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.840 if that that ed got said, the edge got up 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.600 the field, there was nobody to take the cut back 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.160 and cuts back and picks up big yards. And if 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.320 they if they played the cut back, there was nobody 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.560 out there setting the edge to turn it back in. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:45.480 So uh yeah, I thought it was a uh probably 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.760 the poorest effort we've seen out of the defensive front 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.720 and the offensive line. I thought, well, I'm right with you. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.040 The games. The games just confused these guys. They were 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.080 you know, there's a couple of times where Jesse Davis 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.480 they needed they need to know whether a man to 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.720 man or whether there was zone block because one bumped 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.040 each other off and one bumped the other guy off. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.440 Other times they both went for the same guy something 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.960 else come So, yeah, I was just an uneven record, John, 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.120 and John, you know what I was thinking. And I 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.320 don't I still think they played hard. I'm not. I'm not. 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.120 Oh yeah, I agree with that. I've got nothing to 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.640 say about their effort. But you've won five games in 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.560 a row. All of a sudden, the national media is 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.000 on and I watched I watched all the pregame shows 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.960 on Sunday. Everybody's picking the Dolphins. Everyone's got co coach flows, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.840 the coach of the Year. I mean, this was the 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.400 crescendo at the end of the day. Everyone's going, yeah, 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.200 the Dolphins. Just all of that. And and I've been 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.719 in those situations before, John, I've been in situation where 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.400 you've played real well and all. And I always say, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.640 you know you, I find myself in a situation before 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.360 where you before you prepare like you do eight each 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.080 and every week, right, do the same things do your 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.839 preparation game day, get up at the same time, getting 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.800 the car, drive to the state at the same time, 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.919 with your shoes and socks at the same time, and 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.360 then you get out of the field and go, Man, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:05.920 I just don't I don't I don't know what I'm 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.280 ready to go here, you know, so you try to try, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.560 and you try, and then you get in the huddle 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.520 and you look around and everybody's got the same look 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.160 in their eye that you got, and you go, oh, 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.280 we're in trouble today. And I think that was one 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.360 of those days maybe that the Dolphins had. Yeah, And 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.880 I think to it probably felt a lot of that too, 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.800 because you know, quarterbacks deal with pressure, and they deal 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.520 with free guys coming all the time. They have to, 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.240 you know, either get rid of the football, throw it away, sidestep, 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.080 buy some time and make a play. But when you're 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.919 a young quarterback and you have so little starts underneath 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.080 your belt and you're trying to grow the offense and 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.359 try to come into your own as the fifth pick 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.080 overall in last year's draft, um, you kind of have 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.919 a lot of pressure on your shoulders. Not that he 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.599 didn't never had it at Alabama. He had the world 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.719 on his shoulders at Alabama because everybody was watching them. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.880 But as you said, five wins in a row. You're 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.200 in the National Football League now and you're expected to 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.360 keep elevating your game each week. And I think you 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.120 know some of those orange flashes of different colored jerseys 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.360 were actually, you know, bothersome to the entire offense. It 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.960 was bothersome to the timing in the past offense. It 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.200 was bothersome to Akman who couldn't really get started other 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.320 than a couple of runs. And I think it was 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.840 bothersome to to Or to a certain extent, because it 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.320 threw off the overall timing. You know, there wasn't a 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.520 whole lot of wide open windows for him to deliver 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.960 the football. When he was finding DeVante Parker, they were 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.479 covered and most of the time he was covered, and 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.679 he put the ball in a good spot for Davanta. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.920 Davante could handle it, make a reception and really fall down. 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.359 There was no run after catch opportunities, you know, you know, 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.080 in that game. So I think everybody kind of felt 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.320 that heat. Everybody had that feeling that you expressed about. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.039 You know, you went through the same things to get here, 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.719 but you're just not having it done. It's just not 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.159 working for some reason. And it was just one of 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.520 those days. And Denver found a way to click from 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.960 off to on in the beginning of that game, and 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.760 they found a way to get their traction going and 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.600 get what they needed to do, make the plays they 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.880 needed to make to win a football game. Obviously, the 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.920 biggest story coming out of the game is the uh, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.280 the decision by coach Flores late in the fourth quarter. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.160 You still got an opportunity to tie the football game up, 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.560 uh and then force over time or maybe go for 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.640 the win. Uh. And he chooses to go ahead and 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.600 and pull to at Fits in and at the time, 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.200 you know that last play that to us and he 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.040 kind of got he got sacked and his kind of 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.200 his foot kind of got tweaked. And I thought maybe 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.400 that was part of the reason he said no, and 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.680 to us said no, that wasn't the reason. They just 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.680 brought fits in to get a spark. And and I 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.720 don't have a problem with it, um John, But well 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.120 I'll tell you what. The the national the national voices, Boy, 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.560 he really jumped all over this, the same the same 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.120 voices that we're calling for coach Flores to be as sure, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.360 you know, coach of the year. You know, he give 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.560 go ahead and give the trophy. Now now all of 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.080 a sudden, they're going, I don't understand that. I don't 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.560 know why I made that decision. What were your thoughts 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.640 when you saw uh Fits go in that late in 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.320 the ball game. Listen my gut feeling. I wanted to 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.200 to play so well, and he didn't get it done, 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.000 and the team didn't get it done. It just wasn't 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.360 one person. But I thought it was the right and 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.520 correct call to put Ryan Fitzpatrick in because the things 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.240 that to wasn't doing really well in the game, Fits 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.920 does extremely well. He feels pressure before it comes, he 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.400 moves his body and moves the protection away from that pressure, 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.679 and he's able to anticipate it and get rid of 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.360 the football before guys are even open. And that's what 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.800 you needed to have happened. And he wasn't greedy. He 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.800 started cherry picking underneath, you know, checking down, checking dow, 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.199 until all of a sudden some of that stuff opened up. 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.400 And I thought he did a really nice job of 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:57.240 showing too a by example, how he could have attacked 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.840 the Broncos, but he had to get out there to do. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.760 You can only say so much, and I thought it 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.079 was a good decision by coach Flores that to really 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.080 give the Dolphins one more chance, to give him their 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.720 best chance to win. At the end of the game. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.120 It wasn't a knock on toa. It was. It was 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.360 a praise for a guy that really has played well 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.200 and has seen at all kind of defenses that you 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.640 can insert him into a game with very little reps 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.480 during the week of practice and think that he could 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.560 be successful and rally your team. He was a player 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.760 too away bow from either tying the football game or 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.200 winning it with the two point conversion. You no doubt 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.640 he goes down and and uh and puts that ball 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.440 in the end zone, goes for a two point conversion, 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.520 wins it, and coach Florence's smartest coach in the NFL, 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.400 and Ryan's the best backup in the in the National 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.360 Football Football League. That's we're talking about. But look, I 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.320 understood the move and and and looked at that offensive 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.280 line hadn't protected to a all day long. He's under 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.040 durest the whole time. They got hit ten times. He 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.679 was sacked six times, and that wasn't gonna change if 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.600 he went back in there. So uh and and look, 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.920 I think to you when you heard from two afterwards, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.120 Look this guy is mature behind his years, and he 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.440 understands a situation, understand exactly instead of I was fine 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.240 with it. That's what fits is here for let's move on. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.839 And so we're gonna go ahead and move on. And 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.840 now it's time for a sit down with a Lamb 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.800 and Roberts. Today it's gonna be amplified by hard rock, 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.560 hotel and and and John Lamb is one of those 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.319 guys that, uh, you know, when he gets an opportunity 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.920 to play, I'll tell you what you talk about. A 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.840 guy that comes through the line of scrimmage and and 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.040 carries a carries a load with him. When he hits somebody, 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.680 they stay hit. Yeah, he's a guy that you're you 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.200 want on your team and at middle linebacker. He's a 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.280 good communicator, he's a terrific leader, and he's productive, you know, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.760 not only in stopping the run, but being able to 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.440 be a force in pressuring the pocket, being able to 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.000 get his hand in the way in past coverage. He 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.360 does a lot of really good things. But his leadership 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.199 and his production have been really what the Dolphins needed 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.679 in the middle of that defense. You've been nicked up 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.040 in their h Van Noyd's being in and out, so 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:06.720 so having a land and Robert be able to come 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.000 in and and really step into that inside roll and 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.880 get Van Ginkel on the outside when you know, taking 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.800 over that spot for Van Noyd. But nice to have 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.040 those guys on and it's nice to see uh, you know, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.080 short yardage and everything. But I tell you you can 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:20.880 sometimes you don't even have to look at it. You 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.120 can hear the hits from the landing and know where 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:24.920 they're coming from. So let's see what he had to say. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:30.760 We just spoke to him. John happy to be joined 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.000 by Miami Dolphins linebacker and landing Roberts and at lantin 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.720 the game in Denver. Wasn't the result of Miami Dolphins wanted, 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.200 but the start was and it seemed like it was 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.400 the same script from the past couple of weeks. The 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.480 defense gets out, they get an interception, a turnover by X, 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.360 and provide the offense with excellent field position to against 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.240 Parker in the end zone. You guys were off for 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.120 the races. Did you guys feel like that early momentum 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.040 was something you were gonna build on? Oh, of course, 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.160 you know, you always want to have fast starts and games. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.360 You always want to you know, if you can't have 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.080 a fast start, even with a turnover, that's always you know, 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.480 a plus, you know, and um we we we had 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.600 you know, great momentum. You know what I'm saying at 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.080 the beginning, Yeah, it seemed like you guys really did. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.199 It was one of those games that we're gonna hold 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.400 true to the script over the last couple of weeks 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.000 where you either's defense or special teams are offensively something 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.559 was gonna happen. You made a couple of big stops 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.120 in the game at one on fourth and one, Can 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.439 you take us through that that play, you came like 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.520 a rocket from the linebacker position into the line of scrimmage. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.400 That was a big momentum change for the Dolphins on defense. Well, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.120 you know, uh, our front seven been playing, you know, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.160 our nose and our tackles, they've all been playing good football. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.480 And just on that play, you know, if you see 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.840 you know, ray Corn Davis did a good job you know, 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.280 one on one on that nose and stuff like that. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.800 And I knew backside that them guys are gonna do 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.360 a good job. So I just trusted my teammates fit 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.880 and we all was able to make that fourth and 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.640 want to stop. You know, I know a lot of times, 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.040 you know, players you know, get the credit for it, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.840 But the bigger picture, it was a whole front seven 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.360 we we all you know what I was able to execute. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.280 You know what a boy you call and get that 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.000 fourth now stop? Yeah, you're right, you know what. It 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.440 isn't always one player on a big win or or 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.960 a loss. Like in Denver, you guys lose twenty to thirteen, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.679 and it seemed like defensively you just couldn't slow down 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.880 Gordon or Lindsay on the ground, especially on the edge 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.920 of the defense. When you take a look back at 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.199 the game and when you go through it in your mind, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.760 what was the biggest difference for you guys not being 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.680 able to slow those guys down with that rushing attack 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.640 they had. Um, I just think, uh, you know, just 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.280 because it's fresh right after the game and stuff like that, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.000 that we just gotta dig in, do wash the firm, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.960 you know, see what's causing what and stuff like that 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.800 and then correct it. You know, uh, you rather have 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.160 them type of games early in the season, that eight 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.839 in the season. So you know, of course it was 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.360 a tough loss or you know, the whole team hate 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.480 to lose, you know, but now you see the corrections 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.680 that you need to make. That's gonna take you into 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.800 later on in the season where you know them, you 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.160 know what I'm saying them, corrections is made and that 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.080 you can execute it when it's you know, saying called 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.440 you know, Atlanta, And seems like when you get later 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.240 in the season, no matter what level football, especially at 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.360 the National Football League level, games are harder to win. 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.160 If you found that in terms of your progression in 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.480 the National Football League, where when you get deeper in 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.080 the season, no matter who the opponent is, no matter 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.360 what the record is, it's always about you guys, you know, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.800 doing your job because those guys are either fighting for 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.320 the playoffs or they're fighting for their jobs. It doesn't 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.400 really matter what the scenario is. It just tough to 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:52.320 win games late in the season. Yeah, And like I said, 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.960 you know, that's why I'm glad yesterday happened, you know, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.600 because we're able to fix that as a defense and 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.320 fix you know what teams are trying to do, so 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.320 later on in the season, they won't be able to 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.800 do it because we alreadyn't seen what we need to 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.480 do to make sure, you know, these players don't leak 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.520 out on it and stuff like that. So you know, 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.720 it's a tough loss, but I take the positive from 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.160 it and you know, now you're able to learn from 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.200 it and move on and like every week. This this 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.480 a one game season, man, you know what I'm saying. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.280 So you gotta you gotta take it one game at 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.760 a time, because you start looking too far ahead. Then, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.560 you know what I'm saying, you run into run into 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.200 a lot of stuff that you ain't trying to run into. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.440 I'm glad you said that, because I would think there's 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.320 no better way to bounce back from a loss and 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.120 get to one to know this week then against an 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.520 a f C East rival in the New York Jets, 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.160 you go on the road. Um, it's one of those 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.240 games where you feel like, all right, let's correct what 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.080 we can correct from Denver. Let's get back to playing 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.840 our our style, our schemes the way we're a custom 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.640 of doing it and getting back on that winning track. Yeah, exactly. 0:15:55.640 --> 0:16:00.760 You know, Uh, it's always good to uh, you know, 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.800 get back on the winning track. You know, we we 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.480 gotta dive in as week, you know, the just the 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.360 good team. You know, you can't look at the record 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.600 and stuff like that and whatnot to think that you're 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.600 going to be able to execute just because off of 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.400 a team director. Everybody's in the NFL. So we gotta 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.920 prepare hard this week, and we gotta you know, put 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.400 all out, you know, after today, after we make these corrections, 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.520 we have to turn the page and put a great 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.640 weekend for the New York Test Atlanta. Lastly, do you 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.080 prepare any differently when facing a veteran like Joe Flacco 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.560 than maybe a younger guy and Sam Donald other than 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.440 Donald might have a little bit more movement skills and 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.080 able to tuck it and run. Are there little things 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.640 that you kind of put in your memory chest on 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.920 how you're trying to prepare for each different style of quarterback. Yeah, 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.160 you have to. You know, if somebody got him here 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.400 and said, yeah, I kind of just look at them 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.800 all the same, It's it's no way, you know, because 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:58.880 Donald bring a certain aspect that and Donala bring a 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.480 certain aspect that Flacco don't. And Flacco bring a certain 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:06.439 aspect that uh Donald don't. You know, they both have 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.719 their own Tennessee. So you have to dive in and 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.399 know that, you know, know that the game can change 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.119 when it is Flacco or with Donald, you know, so 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.080 you just have to pre path for both well Land 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.080 and thanks for joining us today. Let's get back to 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.600 one and oh this week against the Jets and get 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.600 back on that winning track. Good luck to you up 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:31.040 up in New York. Thank you man.

Wat's our second chance to see 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.720 the New York Jets. And one thing hasn't changed, John, 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.880 you still haven't won a game. Well, you take pleasure. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:51.359 You take so much pleasure in saying that that's great. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.440 They's still got that big old for hanging over there, 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.800 hanging over their heads right there. And John, I gotta 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:02.520 tell you there's nothing more beautiful than that throw fireman 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.480 in right in there too. But that fireman and I 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:10.119 just get Jay, you can go. This fireman in may 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.120 have quit again. He quit one year about five years ago, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.919 he quits, I've had enough, I'm not coming back. And 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.280 then when they got Sam Darnald, he was back in 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.520 the front road back. Yeah, he's back in uh in 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.680 total one, New Jersey or somewhere now. I ain't even 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.440 still so I don't think he's back but this football team, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.959 John Well, I'll tell you, I I don't know what 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.879 you say about these guys. Joe Flacco, you know, Darnald 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:37.919 still out, Joe Flacco is there? Uh And you know, 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.960 I've never seen I don't know if I've ever seen 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:47.040 a football team in the NFL as inept as this 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.280 Jet team has been this year. That fair. I think 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.360 that it's fair. Their record proves that. Um, they've been 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.879 in some games, but not a lot of games. And 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.439 it seems like it's always the back door cover. You know, 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.280 it's always the Jet scoring points at the end of 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.120 a game where you kind of go, well, that game 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.359 was pretty close, but then you kind of watched the 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.640 game and see the highlights and it was a two 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.600 touchdown game for you know, the majority of sixty minutes. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.040 And then again that happened, you know, against the Chargers. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.800 You know, offensive league. Who are you gonna see? Is 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.440 it gonna be Flacco? Probably Sam Donald's still nursing an 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.879
