But I'm pretty disgusted right now. John, 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.360 I think it's written all over your face. It's I 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.720 discussed all over my face. That and the fact that 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:27.600 I'm that in the fact I'm trying to figure out 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.360 how I'm gonna pay all these bills for my daughters 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.960 for their Christmas. Uh, the Christmas. You know, my daughters 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:41.000 that wasn't written years old. Two miamies is seven. And 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.440 they just get more and more and more expensive every year, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.960 and it's it's getting out of control. Now, you know what. 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.240 I've got twenty six and twenty four in my house, 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.760 and it seems like it does the same thing. The 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.680 bigger when would they say when we were just young parents, Right, 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.760 the bigger they get, the bigger the problems you'll have. Well, 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.000 now they're in their twenties and you're just crusting on 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.080 the thirties and it's still getting larger. Right, Yeah, It's 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:05.720 like I want to purse? What do you want to Louise? 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:11.240 Your talking about what Louis? Who wants Louis's hang? Where 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.000 do you go to? Where you go to to Kmar 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.840 to get that? I want this one? I'm like, I've 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:17.480 never heard of this one. Yeah, I need one for 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.240 my friend. It's just not one for winter, and I 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.280 need one for the fall now, you know. It's one 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.240 of those kinds of things. So anyway, but I hope 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.840 everyone had had a great Christmas. I hope that there 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.920 you have a happy New Year looking forward. But let's 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.360 let's kind of get to the fact at hand. And 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.039 in the Miami Dolphins and and and John, it's funny, 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.800 you know, you lose that game, and to me it 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.279 was just a just a total disappointing game from start 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:39.679 to you know, you get you come out in the 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.600 first series, you just boom take you know, we all right, 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.759 and you guys are jumping around and you can see 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.800 then and then they come down saying you, hey, look 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.880 this is that's fine. It's gonna be a twenty, it's 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.000 gonna be a thirty two, thirty four games something like that. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.520 It's gonna be a high scoring game. And then boom, 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.520 the brakes went on both sides of the team, but 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.600 but both sides of the field. But boy, the Dolphins 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:03.120 the inability offensively to really just get anything going. And 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.920 the only time they had drives going, they hit a 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:07.520 big I think there was a thing like a third 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.920 and seventeen that they converted. Boom, then you get a 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.840 penaltally comes back. I think there were three times where 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.560 they converted for pretty good third down situations only to 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.520 have penalties call them back and and ultimately stalled the drives. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.359 You know, it was funny watching that game because, as 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.480 you said in the beginning of the game, when the 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.280 Dolphins took the opening drive and they went down and 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.720 they you know, get to shovel pass and it looked 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.920 like and they even overcame a penalty in that drive, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.720 you know, down deep in the red zone and they 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.120 were able to find a way to get into the 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.400 end zone. You felt like, Okay, you know what this 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.480 They're gonna take a four and ten team and they're 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.760 gonna punch him right in the face and they're gonna 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.160 do it all day long because this team only is 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.399 looking for a reason to lay down, and they're gonna 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.440 lay down. Well, Jacksonville comes back and they go down 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.440 the field and they score and they tie it at seven. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.440 And I'm sitting next to Sam Madison. I said, Sam, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.640 better get your pillow out because that's it. You better 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.840 get your pilled out because it's gonna be for two 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.000 and a half quarters. A bunch of crap going on 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.119 in between the thirties and maybe the twenties, but that's 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.640 about it. And then whoever blinks, whoever has that bad 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.720 fatal mistake, is going to find a way to over 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.360 you know, one team is gonna overcome it, and one 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.240 team is gonna take advantage of it and win a game. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.960 And he looked at me like I was crazy. So 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.680 we're going to the post game and he looked at me. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.920 He nodded his head. He said, well, you were close parts. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.280 I said yeah. I said, I don't know why, but 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.840 I don't know why after yeah. And and for the Dolphins, 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.240 this goes back to the two weeks for the Dolphins 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.280 to come out and play the way they did of 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.160 lack of execution in terms of the little things. It's 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.160 not the interception for a touchdown, it's not the you know, 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.240 the fumbles, it's not it's it's the little things that 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.480 add up during a game that gives the other team 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.839 confidence or lets him hang around, or when you get 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.120 back into a game, you just don't have that play 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.200 off mentality, that that knockout mentality. And it goes back 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.080 to just fundamental symbol mental fund mental discipline, and physical 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.080 fundamentals that this team seems to When they're good, they 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.600 really get you know, they'd get by. When they're not good, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.360 it's really exposed. And I don't know if that's because 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.800 there's a ton of starters that aren't playing. There's a 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.000 lot of you know, mix and match on the team. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.240 I just don't know what that is, but but I'm 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.599 with their everyone else. And look, the Dolphins have had, 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.680 no question, we've had their fair share of injuries. And 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.080 it seemed like for a while there, every week you're 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.279 getting a gut punch by a big guy, you know, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.679 a big name, booming right off the bat. You get 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.599 sit and kill Gore, uh William and then Wilson and 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.720 then Wilson. It's so bang, bang bang, you're getting the 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.360 gut punches. And then there was a little while where 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.440 and then all of a sudden you start But having 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.719 said that, I still don't think that's an excuse for 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.080 where they're at or what their shortcomings have been. But 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.000 and and and the other thing is it. Look, everyone 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.400 in the league is deal. You have to go with 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.560 the injuries and the way they can so so I'm 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.640 gonna take that off the board. Um, But I'm with you. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.960 I just I just to me, Um, and we're talking. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.880 I was talking with somebody after the game and we're talking. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.200 I think I was talking with Sam as we were 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.839 walking out, and I said, Sam, I I just to me. 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:20.200 It's the it's the attention to small details that make 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.320 a big difference. And when I talk to when I 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.520 talk about this, I always go back to I go, 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.440 I go back to one of one day in New England. 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.520 I'm watching and and and they're just just they're just 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.280 dismantling this football team right the way that New England does, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:38.040 you know, on defense, playing small. I think it may 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.560 have been the game where they did the fake punt 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.440 on third and long, right, four and long and they 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.159 run the winner. So now I start watching, I said, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.400 what's going So I'm watching one of their outside linebackers 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.040 and the running back is in the backfield. He shifts 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.320 out into the slot. So it's a linebackers man there, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.479 a man of man coverage. Linebackers got the back, so 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.599 he goes out to cover him. Well, when he goes 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.440 out to come him, he takes a heart inside technique. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.320 I mean, he's you're you're you're not coming through me. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.280 So I'm gonna cover you from here to the sideline. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.279 I'm taking away the rest of the field, right, So 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.000 I'm watching an okay, and and and look, I understand 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.719 that because that's how I was taught to play the game, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.040 you know, take take something away from him. And so 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:24.719 then all of a sudden, you know, we get down 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.040 it's the third quarter or whatever, and I and I 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.400 look at it. So now now New England does it. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.200 They take it back. They they put him on the slot. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.120 Our linebacker goes there, stands head up on him and 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.680 gives him a two way go. And you're never gonna 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.880 win that. And to me, when I say details, to me, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.200 those are the little details that make a big difference 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.560 in the success of your football team. If you're not 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.840 gonna pay attention to those details, then then then you're 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.040 gonna be in the You're gonna be in the quagmire 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.360 of of you know eight and eights is you know 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.720 seven and nine was six and ten or whatever. To me, 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.839 it's those teams. Those teams are always at ten, eleven, 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.600 twelve wins. Their detail oriented details are important. Those things 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.960 backside contain, you know, all these kind of things that 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.560 you see. I I agree with you because it's it's 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.680 not only it's hand placement on blocks, it's it's leverage, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.320 it's being able to take on a double team and 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.000 that's your job and not worrying about who makes the tackle. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.000 That's your job. Do your job. And it comes down 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.760 to those teams that are in the playoffs. Those teams 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.680 that are successful in the playoffs, and those teams that 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.920 that continually get there seem like they either have those 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.000 types of players on their roster for quite a long time, 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.640 and while they're on that roster, those players are developing 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.560 other guys to have those traits and those work habits 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.640 that continue on and they pass along a legacy of success. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.040 The Dolphins have not had a legacy of success over 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.240 the past ten, twelve, fifteen years. They've had some very 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.560 brief reads of time when they've been up and most 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.640 of the time they've been, you know, like the sea, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.080 they've been kind of rolling back and forth in between 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.440 having a couple of really good weeks, win two or 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.360 three in a row, and then all of a sudden, 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:16.800 the bottom falls out, and and somebody or something has 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.320 to be able to turn that around it. And and 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.600 I don't have to look at my head coach or 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.280 my owner or whoever it is. I gotta look in 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:28.080 the mirror, because it comes down it's a players league. 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.880 You can prepare, you can you can give them, you know, 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.480 exotic plays, you can give them basic plays, but how 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.160 they execute those things in all three phases is ultimately 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.319 going to determine if I have a chance to win 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.600 in the fourth quarter, because basically, you look at the 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.040 Steelers in the Saints this past week, it's gonna come 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.240 down to the fourth quarter and who makes a mistake. 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.560 The Dolphins Jaguars come down to the fourth quarter and 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.240 two mediocre teams are going at it, but somebody's gonna blink, 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.640 somebody's gonna make a fatal mistake that the other team 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.560 is in elite enough to find them, you know, a 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.120 way around it. And that's just the NFL, yea it is. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.439 And in in the halves. To me, it's the halves 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.880 are the discipline teams that that that do the small 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.440 things and and do it right. And you talk about 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.120 you know guys. To me, if I'm a coach and 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.840 I've got a team and I've got the guys that 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.840 are they pay attention to details, they may not be 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.600 they may guy may not. I'll get an example. You know, 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.560 I was a detailed guy when I played. They told 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:27.959 me the two gap by two gap. They told me 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.800 to be on the outside shoulder. I'm gonna do whatever 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.600 I can to be on that outside shoulder. And I'm 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.040 gonna don't never cross the face. Never never run behind 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.160 the defeat. Uh, someone's blocking, you always cross their face. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.719 Simple rules that And you know, you give me a 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.760 real final I'm gonna stay. I'm a I'm a I 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.800 grew up in a military family. That's what I tell you. 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.160 That's what I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do exactly 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.920 how you tell me to do it. And that's and 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.480 that's what I'm gonna do. And so you do that. 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.240 And and if you're that kind of person, if you're 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.360 that kind of player, and so we drafted a kid 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.440 from Syracuse. Mike Charles good player, big guy, strong guy, 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.160 and I was kind of down at the end of 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.040 my career. I'm just kind of, you know, kind of 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.240 got tasted spit at the time to keep myself together. 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.240 And I'm going, hey, this guy's gonna knock me out 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.679 of my jib. But you know, instead of doing the details, 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.000 he's trying to make big plays, he's throwing an arm 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:19.600 over and you know when he's supposed to be too 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.360 gaping and there goes a guy running on the outside. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.040 So so he never made that. He never he never, never, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.040 never knocked me off my pedestal because he was a 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.240 better player than me at the time. But I know 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.760 that coaching staff knew that I was gonna be exactly 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.480 where I was supposed to be, and I learned, hey, look, 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.640 being exactly where you're supposed to be sometimes doesn't mean 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.320 you're gonna make the play, but it means you're gonna 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.480 be a part of a part of the situation that 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.280 allows somebody else to make that play. And there's value 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.800 in that. So so if I'm a coach and I've 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.480 got I'll keep all those guys, even though they may 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.319 not be quite as talented as the next guy behind them. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.720 If I can't trust the next guy behind him to 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.120 be where he's supposed to be when I need him 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.439 to be there, you know. And and so there's a 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.160 lot to be said about that. You see how you 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.080 saund like how those guys stick around for what will 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.920 they stick around for a long time because as a coach, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.880 I don't have to worry about him. I don't have 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.720 to worry because I know he's gonna be And and 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.000 the smart players that are coming in to take those 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.560 jobs and replace those guys see that. The ones that 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.480 don't are gone anyway. The guys that see that and 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.959 recognize that are the guys that follow in line that 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.160 start getting more snaps, you know, because they're younger and 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.760 they may be a little more affordable at certain times 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.040 in the NFL the way it goes now, and those 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.520 guys seem to hang around a little bit longer. And 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.560 and you see that happen a lot in the National 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.240 Football League, and you're just hoping that it starts happening 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.840 a little bit more with the Miami Dolphins now. Especially, 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.000 take for example, this year, where you had a lot 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.600 of backups, you had a lot of guys that you 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.480 get off the street. You had a lot of guys 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.880 come in to play do too, guys you know, with injury. 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.160 So now you have all this on tape and a 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.520 lot of opportunity, and you've had some guys that have 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.800 taken it vantage, you had some guys that didn't. One 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.559 good example for me would be a guy that really 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.320 showed up yesterday because of Keiko's injury. My call. You know, 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.680 kind of an underachiever guy. You look at him walking 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.040 down the street, You'd say he'd never play linebacker in 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.560 the National Football League. Now you watch him go practice, 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.600 you watch him play, he's where he's supposed to be. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.440 A great example yesterday, he scraped off a block, got 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.800 into his hole, uh you know, triggered, got up into 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.960 the whole, made a tackle along with McMillan from the inside. Perfect. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.199 It was exactly the way it was drawn up. You know, 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.920 I don't know if it was Ziggy or William. Somebody 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.160 took a double team. There was a two way a go, 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.240 but there were two backers in the hole. Perfect. Right. 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.320 But that's a guy that watches that's a guy that 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.560 came from a program that was you know, a linebacker 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.560 eccentric program. And and he played that way, I guarantee 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:50.960 you when he was a little kid, when he was 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.320 in high school, and when he when he was in college, 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.199 because that's the only way he was going to be 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.040 able to stay or hang or advance was to go 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.680 by be disciplined, disciplined, don't freelance. Do your job. And 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.120 he did his job yesterday. And I think that I 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.439 think that, you know, from a from a personality standpoint, 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.719 I'd like to see this team move into that more 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.160 of a personality type of thing. But you know, it's 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.679 it's it's you know, there's different things. As talking before 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.400 Jeff Lockerman, who used to play for Jackson, I was 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.439 talking to him before the game of Tony Baselli was down. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.439 There was talking to both of those guys and we're 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.400 kind of talking about the old and said and just 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.360 just you know, now, it's there's so much emphasis on 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:35.360 rushing on on on whether it's sacking him or disturbing 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:39.679 him whatever, just rushing the passer and and takeaway and 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.319 and and stripping the ball, taking the ball. I'm not 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.760 talking about the interception. Punch the ball out to the 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.200 point where you know, now now pass rushers and I 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.920 watched all the time where they're coming and boom they 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.440 spin inside and there's nobody outside in the quarterback, you know, 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.720 jumps outside, buys a little time, boom, can he completes 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.920 playing moves down, you know, And I understand you want 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.200 to get so but it's at you want to get there. 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.160 You want to put the pressure on the quarterback, but 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.959 you still have to play live by the rules a 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.319 little bit. I don't know if he was Kessler or 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.240 or Bordles, just say they did that exact same thing. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.520 Going towards the east end zone. We had a pass 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.800 rusher come inside. I don't know if it was an 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.520 end and tackle twist, but nobody came outside and they 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.480 gave him the short side of the field. He rolled out, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.080 was able to you know, hit for net in the 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.400 flat and almost scored the same thing on run, like 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.920 with in running places where guys are they're supposed to 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.920 be holding their edge and all of a sudden the 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.200 guy maybe takes a dip inside and they just throw 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.000 it away come inside and the guy bounced. It's just 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.560 you know, it's and it's a it's a new era. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.480 And the other thing with the tackle is it Now 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.560 you get see guys, they're coming up and the first 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.080 thing you're doing is going for the ball and trying 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.320 to maybe throw one arm around for a tackle, and 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.280 and and so meanwhile the guy gains six or seven 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.440 yards before they before you bring him to the down 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.760 to the ground before he put you know, are the 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.240 old rule that we used to go by was the 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.200 first guy stands him up. Second guy then comes in 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.520 and tries to dislodge the ball. Now it's a different philosophy. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.800 Now it's a different deal. But um, I think there's 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:10.160 some value in the old school that's not being And 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.240 I'm gonna look, I'm not I'm not talking strictly about 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.160 this team. I'm talking about across the board. When when 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.600 I watched the National Football I watched one highlight uh 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.280 from Sunday's games, and there was one defensive back that 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.120 came from behind and punched the football out. It was 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.520 a great play. But I guarantee you that one great play, 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:28.960 I don't know if it lead to points or not, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.240 but that one play will lead to probably seventy hundred 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.280 yards over the next four or five games of yards 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.200 after contact because that guy's not going to get it 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.600 every time, he's gonna fall off the running back because 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.800 he's not really tackling him, he's just trying to get 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.800 the ball out, and they're gonna stay on the field 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.520 for four or five more first towns because he'll continually 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.040 do that until he's one play away from from being 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.920 next to the defense coordinator exactly. So, but anyway that 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.800 that's kind of just you know, that's the truth that 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.600 But those are the things, those are the little details 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.680 that everybody's talked about that win or lose football games ultimately, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.440 because if you've got one guy doing it, you've got 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.880 multiple guys doing it, and you just got to get 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.440 more guys that are that are playing the way they 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.200 practice on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday instead of all of a 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.160 sudden it's for real and you're you're out of position 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.440 or you're just not doing the things you've done to 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.280 get you that. But you know, I was, I was 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.320 walking by somebody on the way out of the game, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.400 and I and I and he was talking to his 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.040 buddy and he goes, you know, yeah, these guys, you know, 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:30.960 they weren't even ready to play. They came out and 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.640 they were just I don't think they even cared about 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.000 IM some wait am and I watched the football team 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.360 that came out. I thought, on both sides of the ball. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.760 Now they had their success in the first drive. But 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.640 you know that to me is a That to me 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.880 is a bullshit. You know that that's a anybody? To me, 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.760 it's like, oh I can tell, but I can tell 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.440 what they're calling every time before they were they they 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.240 know the play call. Yeah, they know the play call 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.920 before anybody. And yeah, okay, I got you. You know 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.800 it because you saw what was running. It didn't work 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.440 and you just use, well, why didn't throw it on 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.520 that kind of a situation. But all that stuff. But anyway, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.400 so let's let's kind of look at where we're at 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.720 seven and eight. Buffalo closed the season at best you 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.000 hope for an eight and eight season, and and you're 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.560 going you're going into an environment that's uh, last game 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.000 not fun in December, last game on the road out 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.000 of it. I looked yesterday, I looked on on some 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:25.840 on an app. I got on my phone with the 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.920 for the weather and it said high of thirty two, 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.480 low of four. That's not a good range. Not a 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.760 good range, man, bo what you what's your packing arrangements 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.840 these Uh there's a trip going to Buffalo in late December. 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:46.320 A so, so, I tell you, I last year we 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.560 went to our two years ago when we went to 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:54.240 Pittsburgh for it was cold, cold, cold. I remember it 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:55.800 was the playoff games. It was a game they needed 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.200 to get in. I remember one of the games in Pittsburgh. 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.560 I was talking to Logan about it and he said 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.040 that at halftime, I think Jeff or or somebody want 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.080 to go get him hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was just 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.600 a term he said. By the time he got it, 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:15.840 it was cold, he couldn't put a stick in it. So, yes, 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:20.080 I get the UH friends up with Peter Glenn's Vermont 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:21.840 hooked me up. We're going up there. So I got 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.600 a nice big coat, perfect got long John's, I got boots, 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.680 and I hate every piece of it. I hate every piece. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.679 A Florida guy into California. I don't want it. I 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.600 don't I don't want to own a heavy coat. I 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.320 don't want to go somewhere I need a heavy cl 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.720 I'll wait until it warms up, then I'll then I'll 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.560 go up there. And it's kind of my philosophy on 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.760 that kind of thing. But you know, well, no, no, 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.600 they're not gonna be far around. They're gonna be so 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.480 my here's my deals. I hate wearing it. I won't 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.879 wear my jacket up there. I'll throw it in my 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.119 bag or I'll carry it or whatever. I'll wear it 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.560
