WEBVTT - The Audible Ep. 82 | Evan Boehm 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.600 All right, welcome to another edition of the Audible John 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.639 kN Jemmy Kimbo camera, same castic characters were showing up. Yeah, 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:13.400 we're showing up. We're gonna show up each and every 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.360 week throughout the course of the season. And you know it, 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.119 you know, our our our audible day is starting to 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:21.760 feel like Groundhog Day a little bit, right, you know, 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.880 you're looking at your notes too. Pretty good in the 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.960 first half half a whole different story. And that was 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.680 the story again this week. But and we talked about, 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.480 you know, incremental growth and this and that, and really 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:36.920 I think that's what we have to look forward to 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.240 with this football team. Um and you really felt good, 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:42.879 you know in the first half because you saw the 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.680 offense start moving the ball down the field. You know, 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.080 defense made it tough on on on the Chargers and 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.760 we're able to make them work to put points on 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:56.200 the board. And so you know, I was I was 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.959 a It was a great concern to me going into 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.440 that football game, understanding that when I first found out that, 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:09.440 um uh, that we were gonna have j Davis and 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.679 I'm thinking Isaiah Prince gets his first start, and then 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:17.840 Jamacus Webb and then then then web has to flip 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.000 over the left side. You put Isaiah and on the 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.839 right side. And I'm looking Joey Boza and I'm looking 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.679 at Melvin Ingram, and I'm going both of them have 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.520 one sack through four games or three games, and they're 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.360 gonna want to get healthy. Be like going to Bonanza exactly, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.880 you know, going up all you can eat, Yes, exactly right. Yeah, 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:39.080 it was like smorg going in there. I think I 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.080 saw Joey Bosa salivating as he was going through pregame 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.880 warm up. But but I gotta tell you that offensive line, 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.360 I thought they played extremely extreme and and you know what, 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.800 look there, there's no question they you know, they stacked 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.400 it up. You know, they multiple tight ends in the game, 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:59.680 got help for everybody. Help Like if you got if 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.920 that's if that's the if that's the part of the 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.680 game they're off their their their pressure again, well then 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.080 then count you counteracted with multiple tight ends in the game, 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.840 somewhat chipping. All these types in there where helping, and 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.160 it worked out well for him. I thought. I think 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.000 Bosey had a couple of rushes that affected Rosen in 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.160 a big way, But other than that, I think they 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.000 pretty held that pass rush in pretty good check. I 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.799 thought they did a really good job of controlling the 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.400 line of scrimmage because we saw the running game make 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.560 an appearance. We saw Kenyan Drake be able to not 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.680 get contact behind the line of scrimmage and if he 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.280 had a chance of that, at least he had room 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.160 to jump cut, be able to use that vision and 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.520 that elusiveness to get away and get productive yards. We 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.399 saw Balage do the same thing. Both guys had big 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.280 runs early in the game called back uh you know 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.480 due to penalties. One was a holding, one was a 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.120 legal formation. I believe that was a kind of a 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.280 bigger play in the running game. Uh So I like 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.760 what I saw out of the young guys. And then 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.680 movement around the off some line you talk about web 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.839 going from you know, one side of the offensive line 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.200 to the other, and then you have prints come in 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.519 at right tackle. Uh you had some flux at the 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.720 guard position. You had some you know, guys moving in 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.960 and out. But I think Deeter played well again, so 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.800 there's a lot of growth coming from the from the 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.440 young guys. I think when you look in the interior 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.840 that line there, you know, you like you said, you 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.480 have babe moving in there and guys coming in and out. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.000 But but watching the game last week, I thought there 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.639 was good movement or was in the center between the guards. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.200 In the center, you get a lot of good moving 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.160 line of scrimmage and some of those some of those 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.400 blocks where the blocks will allow these guys to to 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.200 get some running room, to pick up some yards and 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.600 to see our running game come alive a little bit 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.040 in that foot Well, you need that. I mean, you 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.960 can't put it solely on Josh Rosen. If he's gonna 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.400 be your starting quarterback from here on out and he's 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.960 gonna take the range, he needs a running game. All 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.640 quarterbacks really you'd like to, you know, turn around and 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.920 run a draw, run a screen some semblance of a 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.080 long handoff, to take some pressure off the pocket, to 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.080 take some pressure off of the past protectors. Because those 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.880 guys are going up against quite frankly, could be the 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.880 best athletes of all twenty two that are out there. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.640 Those defensive ends, those linebackers, they can run like wide receivers. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.120 Some of them they can run like running backs. They 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.080 have the strength of of alignment, and they're they're trained, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.200 uh to go to meet at a point and that's 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.440 where the quarterbacks trying to set up and do business. 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.920 So I thought they did a pretty good job, if 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.480 not the best job of the year in terms of 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.720 four games, being able to hold up at least through 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.080 two and a half to three quarters uh of being 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.240 able until the Dolphins were predictable at the end of 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.919 that game where they're throwing it and throwing it and 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.000 throwing it so much. Much like the previous couple of games, 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.880 missed opportunities played played big in this. I think the 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.919 two miss field goals, you know, put you in a 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.160 situation where if you make those two make kick those 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.159 two field goals, you know you had a fourth and 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.880 sixth stop on them to get the ball turned over 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.560 on downs, which was big for you short field there 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.479 you missed the field goal all and then you miss 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.719 another field goal as it goes, and those are opportunities 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.599 to go and you could you get this team again, 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.280 like we talked about Dallas, you know that they were 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.880 in a position where they could have gone in into halftime, 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.599 down wide or down one. You know, if you're able 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.120 to punch one in or kick a field goal, you know, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.279 it's just but those are but those are the issues. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.840 Those those are those missed opportunities that you know, there 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.960 weren't as many drop balls as there were as we've 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.520 seen in the last two games, but there were significant draws. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.760 It led to a fifty plus yard attempt where you 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.080 could have had a forty five or forty three yard 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.599 or or maybe you continue on that drive. You know, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.480 there's no same pressing Williams doesn't catch the ball, break 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.000 a tackle and getting ten or fifteen yards. Now the 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.919 Dolphins are in scoring position for six instead of the 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.440 you know the try at three. Yeah, Blage has one, 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.880 they got it, looks open for him and he leaves 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:56.080 the ball in the ground. So again less less missed ball, 0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.680 less miscatches, but still too critical, too many, too many 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.839 for a football team like this where look, it's clear 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.280 that they're an undermanned football team. Every team they're gonna 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.920 play against this year, they're gonna be undermanned place. And 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.560 if you're that team and you want to win games, 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.440 you just you can't have those errors. Well, the margin 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.159 of error and the margin of the magnify everything. Yeah, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.440 you go into games knowing that we have to play 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.920 damn near perfect. We we can't beat ourselves. Number One 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.960 you can't come away with nine, ten eleven penalties what 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.160 they haven't done. I'm not saying they've done that on 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.080 a consistent basis, but when you add the drops, when 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.680 you add the miss tackles, when you add the missed 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.920 assignments up front, and you cut guys loose, those all 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.400 add up into mistakes that you're trying to prevent. And 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.360 I think that the Dolphins did a pretty good job 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.120 from week one now to week four. Hasn't shown up 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.560 on the scoreboard, hasn't shown up in the wind column, 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.320 but they're they're trending in a direction where you can say, Okay, 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.159 we might be undermanned, but this team is learning how 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.560 to play together, learning how you know, the guy next 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.039 to him does something, uh that that will help me 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.640 out as a guard, or help me out as an 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.479 offensive tackle, or you know, the game upfront that cuts 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.600 Charlton loose and he gets another sack, and maybe that 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.040 that helps in week six, now, when you play at 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.160 home against the Washington Redskins, you're getting used to guys 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.040 playing next to you, so you're hoping that the level 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:24.680 of consistency and execution start to marry. The guys that 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.760 are out there you know, start to you know, feed 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.560 off of each other. Where where teams start to come together. 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.320 You know there there's a couple of things. One of 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.760 the things that that John just it sticks out in 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.240 my mind is is because you're looking at you're looking 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:37.920 at and you're seeing some you know, some guys are 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.520 playing better, Preston Williams better game. Maybe you know it's 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.240 maybe he's he's he's kind of feeling his way out 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.600 getting You're seeing other things. Some of those offensive lineman 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.680 they're getting stuck in there with short time, with little 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.520 notice or doing some good things. But the one thing 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:56.040 that has been consistent with this football team that they've 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.280 got to find some solution to or it's really gonna 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.760 be a long sea, and they gotta find some way 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.000 to put pressure on a quarterback. They have not put 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.720 pressure on any quarterback in any of these four games. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.960 And I mean you watch, look we saw Dak last 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.679 week just standing back there and just waiting and waiting, 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.480 patting the ball, waiting for Lamar. In game one, I 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.160 mean he had five, six, seven seconds at some point. 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:19.760 And then you look at this game and I don't 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.320 think Philip Rivers, you know, you had one sack. Carl 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.120 Charlton got another sack. But other than that, I I 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.920 don't recall a time where he was harassed at all. 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.160 He wasn't flustered, he wasn't harassed, he wasn't hurried, and 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.080 he knew that every ball didn't have to be a 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:40.800 line line drive shots. He threw some really good touch 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.280 passes over the under coverage of the linebacker and in 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.400 front of the safety coverage, and it looked, quite frankly, 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.560 it looked like a seven on seven performance. And guy 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.360 was coming back and he was just kind of picking 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.240 and choosing. It wasn't one guy. One guy had five catches, 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.720 another guy at five, the running back had four or five. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.560 You know, It's just it was a dinking duck. And 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.760 if he needed nineteen, he got twenty. If he needed eleven, 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.920 he got thirteen. You know. It was one of those 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.240 games where Philip Rivers was just on his game and 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.400 he didn't have to really work at it. All he 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.240 had to do was keep his two feet underneath them, 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.160 kind of get guys going with his eyes, and then 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.160 trust his receivers that they were gonna win one on 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.760 one matchups when they had him, and he he just 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.280 you know, really picked the dolphin secondary part, the thing 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.880 that the pressure and I just all day you said, 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.800 I'm just, I'm just you gotta find it. You gotta 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.679 find it somehow. You gotta fight for guys, gotta get 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.160 off blocks, guys gotta you, guys gotta find a way. 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.520 They gotta get hungry and want to get it because 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.480 especially when you it's exacerbated in this first month because 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:48.000 of the quarterbacks. Again, every one of those quarterbacks knows 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.600 their offense like the back of their hand, knows where 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.560 the mismatches are, know where they want to go. And 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.199 certainly in the case of of of of Brady and Philip, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.000 Rivers and and and Zach are act probably in the 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.760 same mode. Maybe not quite because he hasn't just because 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.920 he hasn't played. As long as those guys, those guys 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.800 get the line of scrims, they probably know where they 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.679 want to. They probably know exactly where they want to 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.600 go to before that ball snap, you can see the mismatch, 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.959 see this guy, They know how this guy plays it 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.800 plays a loose a little bit of this that I'm 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.720 going And so so if if you can't get pressure 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.000 and you've got cornerbacks that are that astute, and they're 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:27.600 they're that good, and including Lamar, including Dak Prescott, boy, 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.400 it makes it near impossible to to to slow down 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.360 an offense for sixty minutes of a game. You can't 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:39.640 physically cover that long in the defensive secondary if you 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.679 if you're giving you know, if you're not really affecting 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.120 the pocket the timing of the ball coming out of 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.720 the pocket, which the Dolphins haven't done. They haven't been 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.560 able to hurry or harass or rush a throw. And 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.960 when in the times that they do, it might be 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.679 you know, on a second down opportunity where they come 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.240 right back on third down and make a play. I mean, 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.520 how many times have we seen the Miami Dolphins defense 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.600 being a really positive situation second in twenty one, first 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.160 and twenty and all of a sudden, you know, Tom 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.680 Brady stays on the field, Philip Rivers stays on the field, 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:15.040 Dak Prescott keeps his offense on the field, Lamark Jackson 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.600 finds a touchdown. You know, those are the situations where 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.320 you're thinking, as a defense and we've got we've got 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.520 to get off the field in a three and out 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.160 here because you're you're the numbers favor you. You can't 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.199 allow three straight completions when you know a team is 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.079 gonna throw a three straight times in the first twenty situation. 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.000 Talk about earlier you get back, they get back up 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:42.000 twice seven yard line, but seven yard line they go, 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.439 they get a big third down and they get the 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.080 first down, but there's a penalty, take them right back 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.160 and they come right back, do it again, and do 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.960 it again. To you, you just can't. You can't allow 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.560 those quarterbacks at that time. I mean, that's gotta be 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.280 the time when, man, if you're those defensive ends, man, 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.720 you you you're up on your toes, you got you know, 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.440 your goot white knuckles because you're you're coming after these guys. 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.080 And that's where you should be. That's where you enjoy 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.360 playing because you got him where you want them, instead 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.320 of being in a situation where you get you get 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.560 stalemated again. Guy stands back there, picks and chooses and 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.040 and you and you you pick up the first down, 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.440 which which just kind of deflates that he does. Well, 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.040 it's not only the defense. It rolls over. It gets contagious, 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.360 you know, And and how about the job. I mean, 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.360 I didn't know what type of back Eckler was before 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.720 the game. But uh, you know, Melman Gordon could could 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.959 have stayed out another month, two months, I mean until 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.680 somebody got hurt. Because this guy, I don't I don't 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.560 know how you how you get him out out of 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.720 the lineup? Well, you know, and then they have said 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.280 that the coach and their coach said he when when 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.079 he's ready, he's there our guy. But boy, after the 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.560 game of you because he look, he's not tough runner, 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.280 he's got good he's got good catch and you could 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.480 catch the ball, and well you look at a guy 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.200 like that, and you know, if if if, if I'm 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.439 if I'm the Los Angeles Chargers, I'm looking, hey, we 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.320 got our guy, we got our number one guy come back. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.040 How can we get these two guys in the field? 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.840 I know it, I know it. Hey, now that you 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.080 say l A Chargers, how about the red ref yesterday 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.280 was brutal? He kept saying, San Diego, I think I 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.800 said it all. I'm not saying that. I'm I'm I'm 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.920 not guilty of it, but I just thought it was 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.080 funny that could make fun of somebody else and said, 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.520 because I said it all pre game, I'm going on 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.520 San Diego, and I'm going going just call them chargers, John, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.080 don't don't make it complicated. And the first time that 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:31.040 the p A system comes on with the lead official egos, 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.640 San Diego will not be charged at time. It's hard 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.640 not to look at those funiforms, I know, especially the throwback, 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.440 especially exactly the powder blues, no doubt about it. So yeah, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.440 that was but but but you know, I say that, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.080 but I still call the the I still called the 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.880 Cult of Baltimore, I know, And so I'm I'm pretty 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.839 pretty far, pretty bad and all that kind of stuff. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.760 But yeah, it was, Uh, it's you know, it's just 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.720 it's it's tough. We're gonna get a chance to talk 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.079 to Evan bam here a little bit, a guy that 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.520 really is is coming and you know, you had a 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.800 good game, and you know, and and you got some 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.719 experience behind him, and it was nice to have him 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.360 over by over with Isaiah, that's right. I think it 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.560 helped Isaiah to have Beam over there. Guys had some experience, 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.880 has been in games and and and they helped. They 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.920 they both double teamed on Joey and they did a 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.480 handful of times. So we'll kind of talk to them, 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.920 but um, not nice to see him get in and 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.680 do it. And and you know, you'd like to see 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.960 this offensive line get a chance to be the five 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:32.520 guys for forget about three weeks straight, give two weeks straight. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.600 I'm the same five guys in the same positions on 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.120 the field. I don't know if there's any I don't 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:39.640 know if I've ever been in a situation where I've 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:44.920 seen so many such a revolving door on a position 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:50.440 that is so demanding of continuity and communication. Uh, just 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.680 be like, you know who's in there, and who's the 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.360 guy in there? You know? The good thing? The good 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.240 thing about it is, you know you're on a team 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:57.960 that has a lot of youth. You're you're on a 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.640 team that needs to find out who are the guys 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.160 that are gonna be able to stick when when the 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.080 you know, the calendar turns and it's all of a 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.880 sudden it's the two thousand and twenty season and you're 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.120 looking around and saying, oh, who's gonna be a right tackle? 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.440 You know, is Jesse Davis a better guard than he 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.000 is a tackle? Uh? You know, where where do the 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.120 guys plug and play the best? And I think you're getting. 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.360 You got a nice chance to see Isaiah Prince, who 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.840 was a draft choice. You've got a really good chance 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.680 to see Webb play both tackle positions over the last 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.960 couple of weeks. And then you got to see some 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.160 of the guys like like Baying with experience in the 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.160 league come in and filling to do a pretty good job. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.520 You see the growth of Deader at left guard. You 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.080 feel like, you know what, he's gonna pretty much cement 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.320 himself in there, and if he if he can keep 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.440 playing at the level and keep improving on a weekly basis, 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.760 you're gonna have a guy in there for for a 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.680 number of years. Yeah. Right, I mean the way he's 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.800 going away, he's trending right now and everything that he's 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.560 shown kicking out to the left tackle in the in 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.479 the spur of moment in Dallas, and a very versatility 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.680 going out there and play. You're really that. You know, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.880 they hit a home run with the kid in the 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.480 third round wherever they got him. But uh and and 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.240 you're starting to see you know, Isaiah Isaiah Prince. But 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.240 I tell you what I'm I would have hate to 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.960 be in Isaiah Prince during training camp because Google's got 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.240 you know, he got on pretty good. Showed him a 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.960 lot of tough love out there, you know, and some 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.800 of it wasn't so much love. But and you know, 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.000 and then you see him in the game and you're thinking, oh, Jesus, 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.680 could be a disaster, and the guy holds up pretty well. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.160 And so, you know, sometimes you need to find something. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.000 You know, there are guys that are practice guys and 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.520 the guys are gamers. You know, maybe maybe he's a gamer, 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.080 maybe he plays better in game situations he does in practice. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.080 But you got to see it yesterday. You got to 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.920 see it against uh probably with one of the best 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.400 pass rushers certainly in the in the National Football League. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.640 Un Fortunately Melvin Ingram on the other side got hurt 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.520 handstring or something and so but but still, Joey Bose 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.960 is coming on both sides of the boat, right side, 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.240 left side. He's switching back and forth, and for the 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.200 most part, the guys did a pretty good job against him. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.800 And and so to see guys like that, like Isaiah 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.280 getting his first start, I guess a guy like that 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.200 and and and and you know, certainly there's plays that 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.600 he would want back to do better. But he had 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.520 to feel pretty good when you look at the overall 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.600 picture of what he was able to do. I think 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.919 so and not knowing, you know, the uncertainty of coming 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.479 in on a on a Tuesday and not knowing if 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.879 you're gonna get your number called to start, And then 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.600 all of a sudden that Wednesday at practice, you're getting 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.120 more reps and you're moving around, you know what, you're thinking, well, 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.080 maybe I get a chance, maybe you know, to play. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.639 And then your Thursday comes along, you're you're still getting 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.240 some reps and you're saying, well, you know, no one's 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.080 made a decision yet. You know, I gotta gotta stay ready, 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.200 And all of a sudden, you know it's game day 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.800 and and Jesse's not gonna go, and and he's the 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.200 guy that gets to call up and he played quite well, 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.920 and I'm I was just thinking, you know, watching Boza 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.399 and Prince interact during a TV time out, if you 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.000 know maybe that when he was a freshman and Joelia 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.679 was a senior, that he was that Scout team tackle 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.760 or you know, that Scout team player that had to 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.639 go up against him because they gave each other a 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.680 little hug, and you can tell him going back and 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.959 forth if maybe he had a little bit of confidence 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.399 in terms of you know, I know this guy. You know, 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.040 I've I've had his best when I wasn't my best, 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.720 and now I feel like I'm a better player. Maybe 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.840 he gained a I don't know, mental mental edge or 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.080 mental confidence, and if that happened, I was just kind of, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.679 you know, going through the memory banks and see if 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.240 that might have happened. But I was proud of the 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.480 way he played as a as a as a guy 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.800 that watched him in in the training camp and a 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.920 guy watched him in preseason. I was a little skeptical 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.919 of saying, is this guy doesn't does football mean a 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.359 lot to this guy? Or is he is he? Is 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.400 he one of those guys that can't get yelled at 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.720 because he goes into a shell. And if that's the case, 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.400 he's on the wrong team and he's playing the wrong position. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.800 But I got to see him, and I got more confidence. 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.760 The more he played, the more I think, ISAI He's 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.359 gonna be good? You know, I think he's okay. You know, 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.320 he looked big, he didn't look out of place, he 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.600 didn't get out of out of position. You look at him, 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.520 John and and to me. He looks like a prototypical tackle. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.640 He's tall, he's got long arms, he's not a fat guy. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.800 He's athletic, he can move, he can do a lot 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.119 of things. And so I think maybe he just needs to, 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.000 you know, kind of kind of get like his getting 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.239 his feet. But yeah, I I was. I was very 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.399 impressed with him yesterday and what he did from a 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.080 standpoint of looking forward, Hey, can he be a guy 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.359 that you stick out there and you got him over 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.320 there for six, seven, eight, nine years? Is that going 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.879 to be the worst If that's his worst performance, like 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.680 the first one out of the gate, you're going home. Man, 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.240 anything can happened. If that's gonna be one of his 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.399 lower or or bottom performances, that this guy is looking 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.960 better for him, you know that the upside is looking 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.639 much better. Friday a prince for me anyway, As a 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.399 as an evaluators, you're you're just kind of watching him 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.760 grow from you know, maybe July to now. You go, Wow, 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.880 this guy's got more of a chance than I thought. No, 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.520 No day during training when we're in Tampa, I'm going on, 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:57.920 I don't know if this guy's even gonna I don't 0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:59.600 know if you're gonna make this team. You know you 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:00.959 got a guy to your draft, I don't know you're 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.760 gonna make the team. And and and here he is. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.520 You look at this and you feel pretty good about 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.760 about what he did out there. Let's you always got 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.520 to talk about the quarterback situation, Josh Rosen. I think 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.480 you can see Josh Rosen growing. You know that that 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.040 the touchdown class touchdown play where you know he went 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.760 through his progressions. This guy's not there, this guy's not there. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.760 Kenyan Drake gets knocked out trying to run his route. 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.280 He gets he gets knocked down, and he finds the 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.520 arrow take off the wheel rout route and and and 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.280 he hits it. And uh and that was nice to 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.000 see going through progressions, getting to the guy that's open, 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.200 getting the score. And but I'll tell you what I 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.359 for the first time in a month, I'm really happy 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:44.600 for this. I was happy, fans were happy, but man, 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.240 I was more happy for those guys on that offense 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.840 because it's just been it's been such a grind for 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.119 those guys to get to to get a touchdown on 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.760 the board, to take a lead in the game. All 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.080 of those things I thought were you know, a little 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.160 payback for these guys for what's been a really, really 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.159 tough tough it's been a it's been a real tough stretch, 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.240 and it was really good to see h a play 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:09.360 executed so well where Rosen gets back clean pocket had 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:11.480 plenty of time to kind of, as you said, you know, 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.520 proves where he wants to go with the football, and 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.320 then he had DeVante run a really discipline route with 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.720 his head turning back like he's gonna stay in the flat. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.720 He turns it upfield, King bites on it and and 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.960 then Josh lays a perfectly placed pass, uh for the touchdown. 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.000 You kind of like even the crowd, you know, I 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:32.160 felt instant uh, you know, excitement, and you could tell 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:35.919 the crowd was waiting to cheer something offensively, and it 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.000 was it was nice to see. Uh. You'd like to 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.800 see a little bit more of it on a consistent basis. 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:42.960 But early in that game, I think he was four 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.960 for four for seventy five yards on that On that drive, 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.080 Rosen looked sharp, the ball was coming out on time. Uh, 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.000 you know, the couple of plays later in the game 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:52.919 he'd love to have back when he was backed up 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.080 on his own end and he'll learn, He'll learn, you know, 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.960 the more experience he gets in those situations, the better 0:21:57.960 --> 0:21:59.880 he's gonna be for it. But I thought he threw 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.040 the the football, you know, for the first part of 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:03.920 that game pretty well well. You know what we I 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.200 think what we've seen now in two starts for Josh 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.720 Rosen is his ability to throw the ball deep down 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.159 the field, and he throws it in good spots. Uh, 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.600 he gets the ball down there. He gives guys opportunities 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.800 to make plays. It's kind of that intermediate part of 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:19.880 the game that that he's got to get a little 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.560 bit a bit, a little bit tighter on um and 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.240 and you know reading you know, you know, talking to 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.280 the coach, doing a coaching show with the coach, Flora 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.160 isn't talking about Rosen. You know. One of the things 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:32.960 that they worked on, one of the reasons that they 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:36.159 kind of held him out until until last week, was 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:39.800 he you know, getting him more acclimated to reading defense 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.200 and seeing things, seeing those mismatches, being able to look 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.159 we talked about Philip Rivers and and and Dak Prescott 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.080 and and and Brady. Those guys line up, they know 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:51.760 the missman, they know where they want to go. But look, 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.520 you're talking about other than than Dak Prescott. You're talking 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:59.440 about guys that have played twenty years whatever, and so 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.159 you know those guys struggled early on their career, but 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:05.000 they got there. Now Doc, you can see Dak. You 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:07.879 know he he's getting there and he's gonna eat The 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:09.879 longer more he plays, the more he's gonna be that 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.640 kind of quarterback. And you see that in him. And 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:14.600 and that's where Josh has he needs to make. That's 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.080 where he needs to make those He needs to understand, 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.240 be able to read the defenses, understands where that soft 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.840 spot is to take advantage of that. Well how many 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.919 times boa in the month of July or the beginning 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:29.120 of August where you asked, Hey, Rosen gonna start right amy, 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.280 how does he look? How? And I'm thinking to myself, 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.200 I don't see it right now. I think Fitzpatrick's the starter. 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.880 And I think everybody that came out to watch practice, 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:40.359 if you're a fan, if you were a scout of 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:43.399 whatever it was, it was clear cut that Josh it 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.639 wasn't his job yet and he had to do certain things, 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.320 as coach Flores said, he had to improve in certain 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.520 areas so that you feel like you could trust his 0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:56.639 ability to throw the football, you could trust his decision making, 0:23:56.720 --> 0:24:00.240 you could trust his identification, so the lineman don't cut 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.080 somebody free, that he's gonna get blindsider, he's gonna have 0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.920 somebody in his lap on every other play. So there 0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.119 were different hurdles he had to overcome to be in 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:12.280 a position not only to compete on an equal footing, 0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:16.080 but to be able to allow his true ability to shine. 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:18.600 You know, sometimes if you didn't get through the first 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.920 part of of getting through the play calling and identification 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.239 and calling you know, a blocking sequence or getting out 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.840 of a bad play into a good play, Uh, you 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:30.640 can't allow your ability to shine through. And I think 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.240 he did that. Uh. And then all of a sudden 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:35.560 you could see that ball came out on time, or 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.199 that was a cleaner read, or that was that was 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:39.920 down the field with no you know, flick of the 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:43.280 wrist and a lot of his natural physical talent started 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:45.560 the show. And I think you saw, you know that 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:47.800 on display over the last couple of weeks, you saw 0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:52.280 glimpses of that maybe that maybe this guy can just 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:55.120 get better from this point on, and the guys around him. 0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:57.320 You know, he they he elevates their game as well. 0:24:57.359 --> 0:24:59.399 And I give you Brian Floores a lot of credit 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.040 for for you know, because I remember talking to him about, 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:04.639 you know, rosen Is, you know, as he ready, he's not. 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:06.480 He said, look, we're not gonna put him in there 0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.480 until we feel he's ready to be able to play 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:11.639 his best. In other words, if you put him in 0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:13.720 the game one of the season he's still having a 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.080 hard time understanding defense, reading, that's not gonna give him. 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:18.960 You're not gonna see him in his best life. And 0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:21.159 I give him credit for for having the patients to 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.040 get to the point where he felt the Dallas it 0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.480 was a time where you know, it felt like he's understanding, 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.760 he's seeing things, and you saw it almost immediately when 0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.360 he stepped on the field. You could see a lot 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.560 more confidence in him when he stepped on the field 0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:37.720 in Dallas. And I think he saw it in the 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.160 beginning of the game against the Challengers, a little more confidence, 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:42.960 a little more you know, it's willingness to throw the 0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:45.600 ball and do things. So I think the progression with 0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:49.320 with Josh rosen Is uh Is is on a good track. 0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:52.639 It is, and it's not all about him throwing the 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.879 football down the field. It's it's about getting up to 0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:58.400 the line of scrimmage and keeping pressure on the defense. 0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:01.119 It's about finding a window to throw a screen pass 0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:03.560 you know that goes for nineteen yards early in the game, 0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:05.760 that acts like a big running play that gets you 0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:07.600 a lot of chunk yards that you know, all of 0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:09.479 a sudden, now instead of on your own twenty two, 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:11.720 you're at the forty. You know, you're at the forty 0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.399 five yard line. You're feeling like you've got some confidence 0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:17.320 about things that you're calling, or things as a even 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:19.560 as a play caller, bow that you can get to 0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.359 on your list that you go, you know what, he 0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:23.640 can handle this Now I can give him. I don't 0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:25.840 have to spoon feed it anymore. I can get into 0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.760 the game plan. And because if he executes this, this 0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:32.440 is the right play call. So even even the simplistic 0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.520 things of holding plays back because you're not sure. I 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.040 think you're starting to see a little bit more in 0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.040 the I mean, and I think we're gonna see better 0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.560 things out of out of Josh. I think that we're 0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:44.400 just kind of scratching the surface with him. I'll tell 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:46.560 you the one thing is you know, you can you 0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.520 can tell he's a little you know, like post game 0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:51.680 and look, I understand the games. You know. It's it's 0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:53.840 tough to stand up there. As as a head coach. 0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:57.080 It's tough to stand up there's a quarterback. And but 0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.240 he's a little sheepish up there, you know. And I'd 0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:00.960 like to see him be a little bit more, a 0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:03.440 little more bravado, you know, say hey, look, you know, 0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:06.320 and I think he's afraid to you know, I asked 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.720 a question. If I asked a stupid question, I prefer 0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:10.840 him and say, hey, you know, no, that's not right, 0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.119 you know, or be a little more forceful at me. 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.920 But that's all, you know, that's his personality and that's 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.000 what it is. But that's all part of being that 0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.920 the leader that that that leader. Yeah, that guy is 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:23.840 going to go out there and you know that that 0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:25.879 guy that can walk in the huddle. And if a 0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:27.760 guy guy makes a bad place that you know you 0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:29.239 do it again, just tell you get out of here, 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:33.280 you know, I mean on the whole, or or I 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:35.520 don't say, hey, I know you screwed up, don't do 0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.240 it again. Let's go. We need you, you know, don't 0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:40.119 let that affect you. Let's go. And I think we 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.439 saw I think we saw some of that in in Dallas. 0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:44.520 I think, yeah, that was a big step forward with 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:46.240 him in Dallas to to be able to do some 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.520 of that. And uh, you know I kind of you 0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:51.720 know that. You know, there's a long long way to 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:53.640 go for him, and he's got a long way to go. 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.000 But it's it's nice to see each and every week 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.280 you feel a little bit better about where he is 0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.639 that we have been be him coming in so Gonnana. 0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:02.239 We're gonna stop and talking to him for a little bit. 0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.320 All right, we're here with Evan. Let me get it right, 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.880 Evan dam right, man, I tell how many different ways 0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:15.040 is uh hasn't been pronounced? You know at restaurant. I know, 0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:16.919 I grew up with the name of bow Camp. I've 0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:19.320 had different a lot of different restaurants. We pitt B 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.520 A M E, so they say it right. So like 0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:26.680 we've been out of restaurants boheim bomb, Like there's there's 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.479 a lot of different Well, well you're here now. It's 0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:32.040 great to have you and uh, you kind of reunited 0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:35.719 with one of your guys schools coaches. You know he's 0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:37.320 he's been here a couple of times now, and he's 0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:39.840 kind of got a reputation around here. But as we're talking, 0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:42.360 he's a he's a he's a dyeing the hard old 0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:46.360 school offensive line coach he is, and and I love it. 0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:48.600 I like it that way. Um. I grew up a 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:50.520 coach's kid. My my dad was a head football coach 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:54.120 in my high school. UM. So so my offensive line 0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.800 coach in high school who played his names Chris Barrows. 0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:01.200 He played offensive line the University of Missouri. UM. But 0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:03.040 I mean not you, only him, But I think every 0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:04.800 coach had free rein to just jump on me and 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.400 when I when I when I did something wrong. So 0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:09.680 there's been times where I was woken up in the 0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:11.400 middle of the night when all the coaches were downstairs 0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.960 watching film, pulled out of my bed and saying, hey, 0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:17.600 what happened on these two plays? Explained me your thought process? 0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:19.840 So so I kind of got it at an early age. 0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:21.760 But you know, good Good does it in a way 0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.720 to where he makes it so hard during the week 0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:26.800 and during practice to where when you go out on 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.680 Sunday you don't really think. You just go out there 0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:32.800 and play and and you do what Google has been 0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:35.360 harpened on because because we just talked about in the 0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.120 meeting room is when when we watch our film and 0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.400 we see like if we're supposed to post up on 0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:44.840 on something and we drop our inside foot worse thinking 0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:47.920 it before he says something, and so he drills it 0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:51.280 into your mind so much to where you're sitting there like, well, 0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.440 the good is gonna get me on that one? For sure? 0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.920 Well you know you guys, get you guys, I say, 0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:00.120 you get the benefit of watching the game tapes the 0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:02.680 day after the game. Yeah, you know when I played, 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.840 we had Monday off. We didn't watch him till Tuesday. 0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:09.320 So your whole day off, you're sitting there and you 0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:11.400 know how it is. You know every play that you messed, 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.040 you know, whether whether it was a small whether it 0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:16.720 was a wrong step with you, you know that play. 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:18.760 So that day off wasn't such a good day off 0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:21.080 because in your mind, jeez, I'm gonna get my ass 0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:23.800 ripped for this and that one and this playing that play. 0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:26.440 And so it's a I would prefer it to have 0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:30.360 have been Mondays, but they're never fun. Those names there, 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.160 but you know they're there. It's a you know, it's 0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:35.640 a necessity. You know, you gotta gotta learn it, gotta 0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.360 move and and the best way to learn is to 0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.000 see it on film. You do it because in your mind, 0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:41.400 you're doing it one way. You look at your edge. 0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:43.440 I didn't didn't realize I was doing that because like 0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:45.840 last week we or this past week, we were emphasizing 0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.760 staying on the double teams, double team, double team, double team. 0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.240 And and at the beginning of the week, and you 0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:53.680 have me slotting in the right guard for the first 0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.560 time this year, and you're bringing up Isaiah Prince, the rookie, 0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.320 first first ever start in the NFL, and so we've 0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:01.080 never played next to each other. So that was one 0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:03.400 thing that him and I was fitting in. And do 0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:05.080 I need to give him more to hit on the 0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:07.200 double team or does he need to take this step 0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:09.440 to get over there more? Like so during the week, 0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:11.240 I mean, we were getting ripped on just because not 0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:15.680 really ripped on, but coached coach coach to be great 0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:19.440 at the double team. And and I think Sunday we 0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:22.880 had quite a few double teams that that were really good. 0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:25.040 And you know, there's still a couple that we need 0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:28.080 a fix. But at the same time like that brings 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:29.520 it back to the googe coach in your heart. The 0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.040 old school coaching way is we got it so many times. 0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:33.360 We got to drill it into our heads so many 0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:35.240 times of this is a step it needs to take. 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:36.920 This is how much I need to give Prince. This 0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:38.720 is how much he needs to give me in order 0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:41.560 to make it a successful double team touchdown. I think 0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.440 Isaiah kind of got bounce, got off bounce a little bit. 0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:46.280 You're able to come out and take out Bosa, give 0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:47.959 him time to throw the ball down the field right, 0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:49.720 you know, touchdown. And then there were some plays during 0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:51.760 the course of the game running plays with the double 0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:54.400 teams allowed Drake or the running backs to find decrease 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.880 and so all that we're going it's it's gonna be 0:31:56.960 --> 0:32:01.400 tough coming into a situation like this where the offensive 0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:04.320 line is not set. It hasn't been set one week 0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:06.240 this season. Every week it's a new guy in or 0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:09.600 at a different place or whatever. And for a unit 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.560 like yours, or like an offensive line that that demands 0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:17.480 so much of knowing what the other guys doing, communication continuity, 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.200 well that's it's gotta be tough on you guys. To 0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:22.640 to get that in in in short short order to 0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:25.640 be it'd be nice. Get your five guys and let's 0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:29.000 let's get three weeks at least together, which is not 0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:31.960 a long time, but to really understand what you want 0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:33.880 to do or how how how you react with the 0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:35.400 other guys that are around. And that's that's what a 0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:37.840 lot of people don't understand about the offensive line. It's 0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:41.600 it's five guys doing one job. It's five guys who 0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:45.040 have to beat together and in the right sink, in 0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:48.680 the right formation to make a successful play. You can't 0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:52.480 if it's I can I compare to a chain, you 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.959 have one week link in that chain. The chains I'm 0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:57.760 gonna hold up. And and that's the same way with 0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.200 the offensive line. You have five guys doing one job 0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:04.280 together and if one messes up, it's it could be 0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:09.200 a severely devastation play. It's a negative play. And and 0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:11.240 that's one thing I think if you go back over 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.640 the last four weeks, we've we've started to correct those 0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:17.440 things and more and more and more, and we left 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.880 a lot we did. We did leave some plays out 0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:22.960 there on the field last week, and and that's tough 0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:25.600 to see when you go back and watch film. But 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:27.920 that goes back to watching the film and learning from 0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:32.520 your mistakes from the film, from practice from Wednesday to Friday, 0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:35.400 going out there Sunday and seeing that, Yeah, we did 0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:38.000 make progress in that area, but we still have some 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.480 progress to go. You come, you know, you go back 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:42.960 in your Kansas city guy right there, and they had 0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:46.000 a big, big high school career in Kansas State. And 0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:49.040 you not only played football, but you you're a heavyweight wrestler, 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:53.000 and you through the discus and and you were you 0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.360 were state champions everywey wrestler. I was a state champion 0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:57.640 all three my junior year. Yeah, we won't talk about 0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:00.960 the senior year. But so so high school football, wrestling 0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:03.680 in the disc case. And so your your favorite thing 0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:05.800 was football for sure. Yeah, well I grew up. I 0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:08.319 grew up like I said, I grew up in football. Um, 0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:09.960 but my dad was also a wrestling coach. So I 0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:12.239 grew up on a football field and a wrestling coach. 0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:14.280 And he was a girl's shot and put hardest practice, 0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:19.040 hardest practice in high school football ar wrestling. My first 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:20.960 two years I wrestled, and I couldn't wait to stop. 0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:24.640 Those are those practices where the most miserable in that 0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:30.279 hot gym, sweaty, smelly garbage cans to puke in. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:34.560 by far, wrestling is the toughest. And but but I 0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:37.000 love it, man. I mean and and I didn't start 0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.600 playing football on seventh grade, and I was a soccer player. 0:34:40.200 --> 0:34:43.000 And so you put the footwork and the balance from 0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:46.840 from from wrestling into what I'm doing now. I'm always 0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:49.439 bending my knees in the wrestling stance, trying to find 0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:52.759 a leverage, trying to find something stay in balance. It's 0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.960 the same thing in the offensive line. It's finding that leverage. 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:58.480 And and me, I'm a shorter guy, so I kind 0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.160 of get some natural leverage. But still if you see 0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:03.000 I need to play lower. I still need to get 0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:05.160 and get in there and do that. You know, It's 0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:07.279 funny because I talked a lot of parents and they 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:09.920 asked me about you know, and now there's this in 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.359 this at day and age, it's you know, your kid's 0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:14.560 gonna play baseball and that's all he's gonna do. And 0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:16.279 I always telling me, say, you know what, I I 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.520 played whatever sport it was, it was baseball season, played 0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:23.000 baseball with basketball season, basketball, football season. I wrestled. I 0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:25.040 you know, I did a lot of different things, and 0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:26.839 I keep trying to tell me, you know, every one 0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:29.520 of those different sports you can take something from that 0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:33.759 score to to adapt to football right now, like basketball, 0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:36.000 you know, the you having to square up, be able 0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:39.319 to move, move laterally and defend, you know you you 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:41.600 do that in football. So all those things. But it's 0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:44.680 funny how pep parents get so tied in with getting 0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:46.680 their kids into one sport when they're seven, eight, nine 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.520 years old and going forever. And I keep trying to 0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:51.880 tell them and I'm I'm you're you're another example of 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:54.600 play different things and all like just like you said, 0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:58.400 the things that you learned from one one sport, it adapts, 0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:02.000 it it's it's it's meaning. And I think that's a 0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:04.560 good thing that like my parents did with my brother 0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:07.640 and I. It's you're going to be a three sport 0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:10.440 athlete and we're not gonna stick you in football and 0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:12.040 you're gonna live in the weight room and not do 0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:14.640 anything for the rest of the rest of the school year. 0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:17.120 It's if it's like you said, if it's football season, 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.880 it's football season, and when that's over, you're going into wrestling. 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:22.160 And when that's over, you're going into the into the track. 0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:24.520 And you know, we made a deal, my parents, and 0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.040 we were fortunate enough to to make this deal, my 0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:29.600 brother and I with our parents is when we turned sixteen, 0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:31.520 we had to have an above three point five g 0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:35.040 p A and be a three sport athlete, and they 0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:37.200 would take care of our car, our car insurance, and 0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:40.320 our gas. And if we weren't, we had to get 0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:42.799 a job and and make sure we make the money 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:44.680 to pay for the car and then the gas and 0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:46.799 the insurance and stuff like that. And and so we 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.720 were fortunate enough to do that. But my parents really 0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:51.600 pushed a three sport athlete. And my dad as a 0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:54.400 head football coach, he goes and when he met with 0:36:54.560 --> 0:36:58.040 families and like we did that big introduction of preseason, 0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:00.440 like this is what we expect. He straight up said, 0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:03.759 you're a student athlete. You're expected to be good as 0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.960 great in your classroom as you are in the football field. 0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:09.480 But I don't want your son to be in win 0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:12.279 or weights. He said, he can be, but I want 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:15.800 your son to be in other sports. To learn other sports, 0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:18.840 to to pick up your speed and track, to to 0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:21.640 work on your balance and basketball or wrestling and work 0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:23.600 on that lateral quickness and stuff like that. And he 0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:27.720 really pushed that and that was fun. And it doesn't 0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:31.480 it keeps it unboring. It keeps you active where you're 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.000 doing different things. You will because so many kids know 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:36.800 how don't I keep going into that. But so you 0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:39.719 go to so you played you played center pretty much 0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:41.839 all through high school. Now it was a left tackle left. 0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:45.479 Let you go to Missouri, your center, your rookie, your 0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:49.480 freshman left guard. My my freshman year and you played center, 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:53.840 the guard, your your freshman moved the center the spring 0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:56.440 ball of my rookie and the University of Missouri and 0:37:56.920 --> 0:38:00.600 that and and so you you I'm out of college, 0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:02.520 you think you're gonna be a center somewhere and now 0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:05.279 you're playing guard. Yeah, I think, uh, the only the 0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:08.399 only starts at center I've gotten. I've been last year 0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:11.400 in Indianapolis for four center starts and everything else has 0:38:11.400 --> 0:38:14.359 been at right guard. Yeah, but again it goes back 0:38:14.400 --> 0:38:16.319 to that multiple things, different things you can do. I'm 0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:18.759 sure if there's a situation center, you're gonna be one 0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:21.200 of the guys they look at and say, hey, let's 0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:24.280 let's plug him in. There. Um, But like c Kilgore, 0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:25.920 stay healthy and like see everyone to stay healthy and 0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.440 keep going. So how's your time been here? Yeah, I 0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:32.600 know it's it's it's it's it's a different year, different 0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:36.680 thing going on here. Um, it's a necessary evil and 0:38:36.719 --> 0:38:39.120 at least in my mind, And so it makes it 0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:43.080 tough for for for everybody in that locker room changes 0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:46.080 different thing and and and and struggling in games is 0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:48.920 never fun, no, And and you know, coming in as 0:38:48.960 --> 0:38:51.080 a new guy, he don't know really what to expect. 0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:53.080 And and so I'm learning a whole new offense. And 0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.279 one of my first week here, my first week and 0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:58.200 a half, it was a whirl in my head was spinning. 0:38:58.200 --> 0:38:59.719 I gotta be here at this time. I gotta do this. 0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:01.200 I got to learn these players at this time and 0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:03.640 do this and that. But it's all settling down for 0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:06.279 me and and I think it's starting to settle down 0:39:06.320 --> 0:39:10.359 for everybody else. And and I think Coach Flow said 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:14.839 it's the right way today, And it's where a couple 0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:17.799 plays away and every and every aspect of the game 0:39:17.880 --> 0:39:19.840 and the special teams in the offense and the defense, 0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:22.120 where a couple of plays away, you look at the 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:25.480 first first half in this game compared to the first 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:28.480 half in the last three games. I mean, we're right 0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.120 there and and and we still left players out on 0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:33.080 the field. And it's the same way. We just gotta 0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:35.080 we we gotta pick like and we're doing a good 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:37.560 job of it, of of staying positive and going out 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.719 there and just working as hard as we can to 0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:42.760 become a better football team. Because if we clear those 0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:46.239 eight nine ten plays up throughout the game, these ball 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:49.160 games are gonna be different. A drop ball here turns 0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:51.560 into a catch this turns into you know, a lot 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.520 of different things that it's just some so small details. 0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:58.040 But as you keep those things keep minimizing, you do 0:39:58.080 --> 0:40:00.960 see the growth in this football team. But it's it's tough. 0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:03.040 I know it's tough, and just kind of keep your 0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:05.120 nose to the grindstone. But you've got some good guys 0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:07.239 in that meeting room and googs for for all of 0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:11.319 his bluster and and all of his things, he wants 0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:14.880 the best for you guys, and you know that. And 0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:17.399 that's that's the big thing. And he tells us, and 0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:19.920 he tells us during the week, I am going to 0:40:20.040 --> 0:40:25.160 be an asshole coach. I'm going to stick to everything 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.239 that I believe in because I know it works. So 0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:30.640 they've done it for fifteen years, and I think you 0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:33.040 start to see what we're buying into the techniques and 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.719 everything that he's teaching more and more and more, and 0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.800 we're giving Josh more time, and we're we're creating holes 0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:41.680 in the run game and and we're just doing taking 0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.399 those steps. But instead of taking these baby steps each week, 0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:46.640 we gotta start taking some grown men steps to to 0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:49.279 correct everything. The bye week coming in as it does 0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:51.239 right now. You know, a lot of guys, you know, 0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:52.920 you maybe like a little later on, but I think 0:40:52.960 --> 0:40:55.040 for this team right now, it's a good's going in. 0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:57.000 It's it's a good spot. You know. We were talking 0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:58.799 about a little earlier in the show. You gotta get 0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:00.320 away a little you know, it's to give you a 0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:03.320 chance to get away kind of you know, reflect, decompress 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:06.319 a little bit, reflect back, but also get some time 0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:09.120 away from the game. Yeah, and be just just be guys, 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:10.920 and to be with your family and be with your friends, 0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:13.279 or do something to get you away and just just 0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:15.480 to clear your mind. I would think that's that's gotta 0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:17.879 be something that you're really looking forward. It is and 0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:20.719 and you gotta especially for the new guys that have 0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:25.080 came in, and this first four weeks have been super hectic, 0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:28.200 and mind like your rolling, your rolling, your role, and 0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:31.239 you're you're pretty tired right now. And like you said, 0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:33.239 this is a perfect time for us to to just 0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:38.560 take a deep breath and relax, evaluate ourselves on how 0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:40.560 we did the first four weeks and how are we 0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:42.760 going to change that for the next eleven. I honestly, 0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:45.600 I remember doing the postgame show for week one and 0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:47.320 they're talking about the offensive line. I said, oh, you 0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:49.960 gotta understand there are two three guys in this offensive 0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:51.880 line didn't even know where the stadium was. Do you 0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:53.799 know how to drive to the state. I mean still 0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:58.640 I still type it into my yeah, And so you 0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:00.640 know that that's that, and it's off is you know, 0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:02.800 you people don't think about that. They don't think about 0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:05.120 living in in in the day to day. And then yeah, 0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:06.680 you know, I've been here for three days. I gotta 0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:09.080 go to the game. What hell is the game at? 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:12.480 You know? And and and like that's it's exactly right. 0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:15.400 It's the people don't know a lot of people think 0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:17.759 we just show up on Sundays, get paid and and 0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:20.080 and play football and get paid. And that's not it 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:22.680 at all. It's we come in and we're trying to 0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:24.719 learn these offense. We're trying to learn these plays and 0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:26.840 in these schemes. And then on the flip side of 0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:29.719 learning all of our stuff, we're watching film on them 0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:31.360 and seeing what they do and trying to pick up 0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:34.280 on their keys and and what protection fits best against 0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:36.640 this this type of front versus that type of front, 0:42:36.640 --> 0:42:40.000 and and so it was hectic, but you were slowing 0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.400 it down. The game, the plays, and the game is 0:42:42.400 --> 0:42:44.759 starting to slow down for everybody, I think, and I 0:42:44.800 --> 0:42:47.200 think last this past week was the first time that 0:42:47.719 --> 0:42:49.879 all five guys stayed out there and there was no 0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:52.480 change since I mean Baltimore week it was like that, 0:42:52.520 --> 0:42:55.319 but this week, like it was like that, and you 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:57.840 saw the progress it took from from practice to to 0:42:58.040 --> 0:43:00.279 now and and where we are. So we we just 0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:02.720 gotta keep on taking those steps for sure. So last November, 0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:05.319 you're in you're playing with the Colts. You get your 0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:08.920 first started center against the Dolphins in November game the 0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:11.600 quarterback A big game that was that was that was 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:13.560 a tight game and you had a big game, three 0:43:13.600 --> 0:43:16.839 touchdowns for Andrew Luck and uh you remember that game. 0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:20.640 And I know at that point you have you're you're there, 0:43:20.640 --> 0:43:23.600 but here here, you are now and now here. And 0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:27.239 it's just the way the league is these days. And 0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:30.520 it is and and uh, you know, I give credit 0:43:30.560 --> 0:43:33.480 to good Um, you know, Googe Googes helped me out. 0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:37.320 And even last year Slawson and Goode and and Bobby Johnson, 0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:40.919 who's now the onlyine coach in Buffalo. Uh, they brought 0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:44.080 me in week six and you know, I'm thinking I'm 0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.839 playing that same week and I have to learn these 0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:49.200 plays and do all this stuff and and learning the 0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:52.759 techniques that Googe wants because you know, every'all offense, I 0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:56.000 mean it's essentially all the same, but every offensive line 0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:59.360 coach and the National Football League has different ways of 0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:02.480 how they want different things blocked. You know, essentially, you're 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.399 gonna have an outside zone, you're gonna have an inside zone, 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:05.919 you're gonna have a pool, you're gonna have a counter, 0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:08.440 you're gonna trap. But the way they want it is 0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:11.120 totally different. And so you have to learn that and 0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:14.080 pick up on that as quick as possible. And um, 0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:17.000 you know I'm I'm happy to be here. I'm glad 0:44:17.040 --> 0:44:19.400 to be here. I wanna I want to be a 0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:21.920 part of this team and help them win football games 0:44:21.960 --> 0:44:23.920 and do them do the right thing and show the 0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:26.400 show them that you know, I'm not I'm not just 0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:28.520 some guy off the street who can't play football. I 0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:30.279 don't want to go and I want to be a 0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:33.560 dominant physical force in in the football game. Look, this 0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:35.600 is a fan base that, uh, you know, I've been 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.160 I've been here in good times. I've been here bad 0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:39.839 times and then in the good times. Um, and they've 0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:41.400 been a lot of bad times here for a while. 0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:44.799 But then when it turns around, this fan base is uh, 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:47.640 is really gonna be a lot of fun to for sure. 0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:50.960 And you could see that ye last week with I 0:44:50.960 --> 0:44:53.160 mean we went in a halftime seventeen ten and and 0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:54.799 the fan base was there and they were a routing 0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:56.800 and it was fun to be a part of. And 0:44:56.800 --> 0:44:59.920 and you here when you nothing better, if if nothing 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.120 feels better as a player, and you can probably attest 0:45:02.160 --> 0:45:04.360 to this too, is is when that big play is 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:06.759 made and you just hear an uproars the fans and 0:45:06.800 --> 0:45:09.160 you don't know what's going on, but you know, something 0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:12.160 really good happening, and that makes you want to go 0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:14.719 out there and play even harder and better and put 0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:16.600 on a show for for the people that showed up 0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:18.839 and supported you. I'm glad you're here. We're glad you're here, 0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:20.920 and appreciate your stopping by. Wish you the best of 0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:24.600 lux State. Appreciate and keep going keeping these guys. Hopefully 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:27.080 you guys can can get you know, start racking up 0:45:27.080 --> 0:45:29.160 some games together. You can get to where you want 0:45:29.160 --> 0:45:30.640 to be in and I know you guys are gonna 0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:32.440 end up in a good unit. So appreciate you. Thank 0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:34.319 you for I appreciate it very much. Yeah, I have 0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:43.359 a good Thank you. Kevin Bam. You know, we talked 0:45:43.360 --> 0:45:45.239 about it, and it's it's you know, it's it's a 0:45:45.239 --> 0:45:49.239 funny John, It's not funny. But well, every week you 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:52.479 just gotta looking at all the new guys. Where's he had, 0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:55.160 he's in his normal position, is he's somewhere else? But 0:45:55.719 --> 0:45:59.160 I thought him him putting him in there next Isai 0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:02.000 And we talked about that early in the show. Um 0:46:02.480 --> 0:46:04.000 was good for it was good for both of them, 0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:06.640 you know. And I think Evan first play out one 0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:08.799 of the first players out the fact a touchdown play, 0:46:09.200 --> 0:46:11.840 a Joey gets up field and looks like, you know, 0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:14.239 I say, it's a little off balance. Bab comes out 0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:18.319 and and and really gave him the time to throw 0:46:18.360 --> 0:46:21.160 the football. So nicely see him in there. And uh, 0:46:21.360 --> 0:46:23.200 and you know, another guy's a good guy. Having a 0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:25.680 team that's got some experience, and you know, it gives 0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:27.239 you some good work when he when he shows up, 0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:29.160 he's gonna have a chance to play. I mean, he's 0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:31.399 gonna have a chance to contribute on this football team 0:46:31.440 --> 0:46:34.360 because there's so much uncertainty upfront and you never know 0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:37.439 week to week and game to game. Injuries always play 0:46:37.960 --> 0:46:40.440 a role on the offensive line. It seems like it 0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:44.280 has really bit the Miami Dolphins in terms of either 0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:47.040 you have rookie talent that you're trying to evaluate, or 0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:50.680 you have veteran guys that can play multiple positions. And 0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:52.719 he's one of those guys that have seen a lot 0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:55.680 of football. There's not a whole lot of uh experience 0:46:55.760 --> 0:46:58.520 up up front other than Kilgore at center when you 0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:01.200 talk about guys that have played in multiple years and 0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:04.319 multiple games. So it's nice to have the security of 0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:06.840 a guy that has had experience with different teams and 0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:10.879 different schemes, and he knows Googles what his expectations are 0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:14.120 and how he's gonna coach you and what what where 0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:16.120 you have to play, where your level needs to be 0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:19.600 consistently uh to to have opportunities to be in the 0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:22.160 starting lineup. And I thought he did really well. Google 0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:25.439 some he had him in and so he knew about 0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:27.960 him and coach, here's a guy that that we can 0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:30.040 work with, that can fit in here and and help 0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:32.279 us out. And he certainly did that. So good to 0:47:32.280 --> 0:47:34.560 have them. Hey, so now you're going to BUYE week, John, 0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:36.560 And this is a week that you know, I think 0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:38.680 for this team right now. You know, you know a 0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:40.279 lot of guys might like a bye week a little 0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:42.200 later on the season. Pretty good time, I think for 0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:46.200 this week for this football team, because you know, training 0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:49.160 camp is tough, and then and then the first four games, 0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:51.480 you know, it's it's time to get away from it 0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:53.200 a little bit, kind of clear your mind a little 0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:55.480 and get with your family, do what you're gonna do, 0:47:55.560 --> 0:47:57.719 get a little rest, heal up a little bit. And 0:47:57.880 --> 0:47:59.840 you know, you got some guys, you know, Bobby McCain 0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.600 and the guys were hurt last week that that that 0:48:02.680 --> 0:48:06.720 didn't play. Um, get them back healthy again, Robert Wilson, 0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:09.480 get him, Jesse Davis, he'll be back. Jesse Davis, we're back. 0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:11.680 And some of those other guys got they're dinged up 0:48:11.719 --> 0:48:13.920 a little bit. Get them back and really get your 0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:17.160 full compliment back. Uh, as you get ready and move 0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:20.040 on to some games quite frankly that that you know 0:48:20.080 --> 0:48:21.880 that are winnable. You mean you got Washington coming in 0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:24.160 the Redskins, and and who knows where they're gonna be 0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:26.600 in in in two weeks. They've got a question whether 0:48:26.640 --> 0:48:29.399 their coach is gonna get fired. Uh, they're gonna bring 0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:33.200 in a new quarterback, brought they brought brought Hasking in 0:48:33.239 --> 0:48:36.680 and and that was no there was no better Roses there. 0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:39.520 So you know there's an opportunity. But I think there's 0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:41.560 bye week is important and I know talking to UH 0:48:41.600 --> 0:48:44.320 to coach Flores, and it's it's a lot of self scouting, 0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:48.640 scouting players. Every everybody in this building. Everybody in this building, 0:48:48.640 --> 0:48:50.920 whether you're a player or a coach, is going to 0:48:51.000 --> 0:48:54.520 be reevaluating over the course of this bye week. Yeah, 0:48:54.560 --> 0:48:57.000 I think it does come as a at a good time. Bo. 0:48:57.200 --> 0:49:00.759 You talked about the injuries, but I just think it 0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:04.800 was devastating the way the Dolphins started this season against 0:49:04.800 --> 0:49:06.920 the Ravens, that that felt like, you know, I know, 0:49:06.960 --> 0:49:09.800 only one game counts, is one win or one loss, 0:49:09.840 --> 0:49:13.920 but that felt like a multiple game flurry. That just 0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:17.440 was a flurry of of touchdowns and big plays that 0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:20.440 continued to knock the Dolphins down. And it might be 0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:22.480 Owen one at the at the end of that game, 0:49:22.480 --> 0:49:25.560 but it felt heavier than that. And um, and then 0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:28.160 you couple the three losses after that, and now you're 0:49:28.160 --> 0:49:31.640 sitting at ohen four. You just want to you need oxygen. 0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:35.359 You're looking for You're looking for some life into the organization, 0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:37.680 into this football team, and the best way to do 0:49:37.719 --> 0:49:39.920 that is to maybe take a step back, get away 0:49:39.920 --> 0:49:42.520 from football, let the coaches kind of evaluate what they've 0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:45.560 seen over the first month of the season, get a 0:49:45.600 --> 0:49:48.759 better plan for what they want to move forward with 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:52.080 in weeks six when Washington comes to town. And maybe 0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:56.319 maybe you're you're also when you self scout, you're subtracting 0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:58.200 some of the stuff you're asking your team to do 0:49:58.239 --> 0:50:01.719 that maybe they just quite frankly can't do on defense, 0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:05.200 maybe you're looking for different types of schemes to get 0:50:05.239 --> 0:50:08.840 after the quarterback for sure, because that's been the biggest problem. 0:50:09.120 --> 0:50:12.200 So I think in terms of offense, now you've got 0:50:12.200 --> 0:50:13.920 a quarterback that you know, you want to feel like 0:50:13.960 --> 0:50:15.560 he's gonna go the rest of the way. If he's 0:50:15.600 --> 0:50:18.200 healthy enough, he's gonna start the rest of the way, 0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:21.080 do what he does. Well, let's accentuate some of the 0:50:21.120 --> 0:50:24.560 positive us you've seen over the last two weeks offensively 0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:29.080 and defensively. Either you need other bodies to come in 0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:32.440 and rush the passer, or you've got to coach differently 0:50:32.760 --> 0:50:35.360 with different schemes and in different ways of getting after 0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:38.480 the opposing quarterback because what has happened over the first 0:50:38.480 --> 0:50:42.839 four weeks really isn't good enough to go through the 0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:45.280 next stretch of the season. And and that's a tough 0:50:45.960 --> 0:50:48.640 that's a tough ask. I mean it is you know, 0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:53.400 if it's the same guys, same guys, same results, you 0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:57.160 bring in other guys, is that going to be better? Um? 0:50:57.200 --> 0:50:59.600 But you can't, you know, you can't become I don't 0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:01.799 think this team is good enough on the back end 0:51:02.320 --> 0:51:06.279 to be just a multiple mean and then because now 0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:08.439 you're putting the pressure on the guys in the back. 0:51:08.800 --> 0:51:10.600 If you're gonna do it, you gotta get there because 0:51:10.600 --> 0:51:12.239 if you don't, boy, you're putting those guys in the 0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:15.400 back in a very, very vulnerable state. Well, I I 0:51:15.440 --> 0:51:17.880 will say this though, if they go up against Washington 0:51:17.920 --> 0:51:22.319 and Haskins is the quarterback, I'm coming. I'm coming with 0:51:22.360 --> 0:51:26.160 some exotics. I'm coming on some different things that at 0:51:26.239 --> 0:51:29.520 least well, you know, we gotta try something, okay, and 0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:32.799 then you know, you get Donald down the road. He's 0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:35.879 a talented quarterback, but he's only in his second year, 0:51:36.320 --> 0:51:38.799 you know, so I'm sure that there's some things that 0:51:38.840 --> 0:51:41.080 you can get after him. You know, as the season 0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:43.720 moves along, and I know you've got still Tom Brady 0:51:43.760 --> 0:51:45.040 at the end of the year, and you're still gonna 0:51:45.080 --> 0:51:47.120 have to go against the Bills, who look like a 0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:50.880 very formidable team. But but the immediate teams that you're playing, 0:51:51.120 --> 0:51:53.320 I think you might have a chance to to maybe 0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:55.560 change up what you're doing a little bit defensively. Self 0:51:55.560 --> 0:51:58.960 scout yourself obviously, pick out some of the things you like, 0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:02.560 some of the things maybe weren't done execution wise. But 0:52:02.640 --> 0:52:05.200 I still think you gotta you gotta try to throw 0:52:05.239 --> 0:52:07.160 a wrinkle war two in there that you haven't done, 0:52:07.280 --> 0:52:10.200 or that you've picked up from other teams that might 0:52:10.600 --> 0:52:13.320 fit your players or your skill set on this team. 0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:15.880 And and for the coaches, they'll they'll look at themselves, 0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:18.080 look at themselves, what they've called. They'll go over every 0:52:18.080 --> 0:52:22.120 play that they've called, every defense they've called, everything they've done. 0:52:22.640 --> 0:52:25.880 Uh and and and you know, it's fortunate that you 0:52:25.920 --> 0:52:27.759 know that the players are gonna probably have four days 0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:29.959 off on what their what their schedule is, but there'll 0:52:29.960 --> 0:52:31.399 be a couple of days in there where they don't 0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:33.160 have to go out to the practice field. So they'll 0:52:33.160 --> 0:52:36.239 sit in there and they'll they'll evaluate themselves as much 0:52:36.239 --> 0:52:38.959 as they'll evaluate the players. And the coaches will value 0:52:38.960 --> 0:52:40.960 with other coaches, and so you know, they're you know, 0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:43.080 they'll they'll find some things that you know, to me, 0:52:43.080 --> 0:52:44.840 it's to me, this is it's kind of like a 0:52:45.040 --> 0:52:46.839 let let's boil down a little bit. Let's boil down. 0:52:46.880 --> 0:52:50.160 Let's the things that we've tried multiple times that don't work. 0:52:50.320 --> 0:52:52.360 Let's throw them throw them off the ship. Throw them 0:52:52.400 --> 0:52:54.640 off the ship. And those things we've we've done really good. 0:52:55.120 --> 0:52:57.359 Let's let's put them into more. Let's let's let's let's 0:52:57.360 --> 0:52:59.280 go to those things a little more. And it's continued. 0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:02.080 You know, it's that old give me the six best 0:53:02.160 --> 0:53:04.959 running plays you got, and give me the eight best 0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:07.960 passing plays you got, and let's let's let's run them 0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:11.160 to perfection and see if they can stop us. Exactly. 0:53:11.239 --> 0:53:14.799 And while yourself scouting yourself, I'm sure you're perusing the 0:53:14.880 --> 0:53:16.839 league and saying, well, you know, I bet we could 0:53:16.840 --> 0:53:19.600 do that. You know, you see that something that Detroit 0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:21.919 did against you know, so and so, or something that 0:53:22.239 --> 0:53:25.000 you know, the Cowboys did after we played them, and 0:53:25.040 --> 0:53:27.760 I really liked or or the Saints or whoever, whatever 0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:30.880 team it is that you're looking at. I think that 0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:35.240 that's the time where coaches pick up that copycat league 0:53:35.280 --> 0:53:38.799 type of mantra that you know, you like that route combination, 0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.560 I like that coverage. I like the way they disguise this. 0:53:41.680 --> 0:53:43.920 I think our guys could do that really well. It 0:53:44.040 --> 0:53:46.799 fits our skill set, you know, so I think that's 0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:48.839 where you get a couple of new wrinkles as well. 0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:50.799 So it's a it's a you know, it's it's it's 0:53:50.880 --> 0:53:53.320 it's a valuable week in a lot of ways. Rest, 0:53:53.920 --> 0:53:56.960 get the guys healthy a little bit, get their mind 0:53:57.000 --> 0:53:59.280 away from the game. Yeah, find somewhere to go away, 0:53:59.320 --> 0:54:01.680 and and then just so you know, be with your family. 0:54:02.040 --> 0:54:04.120 You know, they don't don't even think about football. Come 0:54:04.120 --> 0:54:06.319 back when you're fresh. The coach is probably a lot 0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:08.720 of less time to do that than than the players. 0:54:08.760 --> 0:54:11.160 But but they'll get a little opportunity to and John, 0:54:11.200 --> 0:54:12.560 you and I can get a little opportunity to take 0:54:12.960 --> 0:54:14.719 take a little time off in this bye week before 0:54:14.719 --> 0:54:16.880 we get ready to come back and and see Washington 0:54:16.920 --> 0:54:19.000 in a couple of weeks. So anyway, that's gonna do 0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:21.840 it for us today. For John Kjemmy, I'm Kimbo Camper. 0:54:22.000 --> 0:54:23.960 Will catch you in the audible next week. Have a 0:54:24.000 --> 0:54:26.319 good bye week off and we'll talk to you next time.
