1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? Welcome to move the sticks on a Monday,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: DJ Bucky Rhett back together here and guys, incredible. What

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: do we calling this the super wild Card weekend? I

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: believe we've got a super in there. Uh. Whither wild card,

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: Super Weekend or super wild Card? This is a super

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: It was super. It was a super performance, uh for

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: the league. Some incredible games, some compelling games. Uh so much.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: To get to here, we had to move the steward

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: which was the third or fourth? Yeah, there you go

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: for third or fourth iteration? I think is that right?

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Third or fourth in iteration? Bucky Brooks again gets his

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: hand raised once again in an incredible game with the

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Jags and the Chargers. We're gonna get to that a

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: little bit later on. But I say we start and

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: I was impressive. I say we start where it finished,

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: and let's start here with the first one we saw

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: or the last one we saw saw. I should say

19
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Ravens Bengals taking that game in last night. It was

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: a game that. Man, you could say one play the

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: side of the game. I don't know, you'd be far fetched.

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: On that one. What do you think? Yeah, I I

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, if mu Tumbo was watching, he'd

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: really appreciated with Logan Wilson was able to do on

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: that play and that goal line stand and you can

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: call the Tyler Huntley, Yeah, that's it. Give you the

27
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: finger wag. That's right, that's right, buck m visuals help

28
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: I think in this situation, and and when Tyler Huntley

29
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: goes back and watches the visual of that, he'll realize that,

30
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that that's probably not the best place

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: to pull the Let me just stick this thing over

32
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: the plane, uh, and try to over the goal line,

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: try to break the plane. And look, great work by

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Logan Wilson getting that ball out of there. And then

35
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Sam Hubbard, you know, got up to like eighteen miles

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: an hour on that bad boy running that thing back

37
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: to ms work from his friends down field as Mark

38
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Andrews nearly got to him there. I mean, that was

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: the game that was essentially a fourteen points swaying could

40
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: have been seven for the Ravens to take the lead,

41
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: ends up seven going back the other way, and that's

42
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: essentially you know, the deciding factor in the same Obviously

43
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: there are plays earlier in the game, and uh, you know,

44
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: in each of the previous quarters that would have you know,

45
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: could have tilted the game him a little bit either

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: way to um. But this play I think goes it

47
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: gets into another point that I'll make later on about

48
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens as they now pack things up and head

49
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: back that cone to get ready for next season. Um.

50
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: But I think you've got to really question, you know,

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: is is that the right car and were they trying,

52
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, really just to have Tyler you know, a

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: more traditional sneak right, just kind of push it in there,

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: get the guys pushing from behind rather than the up

55
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: and over. Um. I think you can talk a lot

56
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: about that. But you also got a pretty good running

57
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: back back there. And J K. Dobbins too, uh down

58
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: there on the goal line, so he was it was

59
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: not quite as heavily involved in this game as I

60
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: thought he would be. But we'll get to that here

61
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: in just a minute. But look, it was I don't know,

62
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: do we call up with the name for that play? DJ,

63
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: you're kind of the creator here, like, do we have

64
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: a name for that that stuff and score essentially at

65
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: the at the goal line. Oh, I mean it was

66
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: kind of a Bengal barricade down there at the goal line.

67
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: You know, they just they're not letting anybody through. That's

68
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: top of the head. That's no preparation. That's just that's

69
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: just what I could get right there. As like this game,

70
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: that's that's solid. I do want to remind everybody if

71
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: you don't remember, if you followed the Move the Six

72
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: podcasts for a long time, you will remember this that

73
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: once upon a time, Sam Hubbard huge draft crush of Boks.

74
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: He talked about him on nineteen consecutive after the Draft

75
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: episodes that year that Sam Hubbard came out, he was

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: my guy every yeah, look path to the draft whenever

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: you gotta pick somebody in the second or third a round,

78
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Hey Sam, this is my god, No, it was my Um.

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: Here's what I say about the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati Beagals

80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: have the toughness and the versatility to win the a

81
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: f C. Again, I believe right now they're the most

82
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: complete team in the a f C because they can

83
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: switch styles. They can play with their offense leading the

84
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: way or their defense leading the way. In this game

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: of Sunday Night against the Baltimore Ravens. We had an

86
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: opportunity to see the defense have to lead the way

87
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: because of the way the Baltimore Ravens made this game.

88
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: And so when you're looking for a team that can

89
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: go to distance, you have to be able to win

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: with more than one pitch. And so as much as

91
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: I love Joe Burring Company and the way they throw

92
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: it around the yard, it's really the defense that comes

93
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: up with timely plays over and over again for this team.

94
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: And I think that is going to be vital for

95
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: this team to make a deep postseason run because when

96
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: you look at the rest of the playoff field, they

97
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: knocked off the can see the Chiefs the last three

98
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: times and they played them. We'll see the match up

99
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills, and the Buffalo Bills have issues

100
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to turnovers that we're talking about later. Um,

101
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: this team has the makings of being a team that

102
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna goes back to back to win the a

103
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: f C. But I think they can get it done

104
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl because they have all the ingredients

105
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: of a championship team. Yeah, and you hit on that buck.

106
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: With the defense playing the way that they played, I

107
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on Burrow in this offense a little

108
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: bit because the box score doesn't look you know, it

109
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: doesn't look super impressive. You score twenty four points. Obviously,

110
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: seven of that comes on the defensive touchdown. You know,

111
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Burrow throes for two nine yards. They don't have a

112
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: completion over twenty yards. The run game, you know, you

113
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: fifty one yards two pointed to carry. It's like, okay,

114
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: this is a borderline kind of a future performance. But

115
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: then you look a little deeper and you think about

116
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs and you look at Joe Burrow taking what's

117
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: they're not trying to be too big, which we talked

118
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: about in the run up to the playoffs, is incredibly

119
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: important there two for two in the red zone. He

120
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: doesn't turn the football over against a really good defense

121
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: that knows you really well. I thought it was a

122
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: clean game and it was just enough there from Joe Burrow,

123
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: and it did show you kind of the you know,

124
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: the whole team effort that they had there. And and

125
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: that's why I think they're a dangerous team now. Injuries

126
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: on the offensive line have me legit concerned. I mean,

127
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: it's just been one after another after another, So that

128
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: is something to keep an eye on as they go

129
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: to take on the Buffalo Bills UH next week. But again,

130
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: an impressive performance by the Bengals is a complete team win.

131
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: How about the defensive sorry, the other side of it here, Buck,

132
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Baltimore Ravens. What was your takeaway there? Well,

133
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: let me follow a first with you and Joe Burrow

134
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: because we'll talk about coaching experience and how it matters

135
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: and post these games. I think coaching experience combined with

136
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: what your quarterbacks i Q is, I think that certainly

137
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: goes into it. So whether or not Zach Taylor knows

138
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: how to manage the game, when your quarterback has a

139
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: high i Q and understands how to play winning football,

140
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: I think it certainly matters. And so when you talk

141
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: about Joe Burrow taking the check down and understanding situation

142
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: and circumstance and those things, Man, a great quarterback can

143
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: also mask some of the deficiencies. And we will have

144
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: that discussion later on. And thinking about quarterbacks for the

145
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, look, man, I think they're at a cross

146
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: roads there, a crossroads because I'll say this, I'm very

147
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: disappointed that Lamar Jackson didn't show up for the game.

148
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: And I know that we live in a world in

149
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: pro ball where every injured athlete doesn't go, but I

150
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: think it speaks volumes when your franchise quarterback is not

151
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: on the sideline. And look, it could have been a

152
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: legitimate thing with the knee. You don't want them to

153
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: fly because of swelling and all that. But I just

154
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: know how valuable it is to the team to see

155
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback in the building on the sideline assist

156
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: in the backup uter back. Everybody on the Baltimore Ravens

157
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: screams his virtues and how he's the best leader and

158
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: all this other stuff, But in this moment, they needed

159
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: him even though he wasn't going to play. Maybe he

160
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: could have talked to Tyler Huntley about how to go

161
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: over the top. Maybe he could have been the calming

162
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: influence on the sideline doing some of these tests moments.

163
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: I just believe the Baltimore Ravens are at a cross

164
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: roads because there appears to be an alien nation between

165
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: this team and the quarterback, and they got to fix

166
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: all this acrimony if he's going to return, because this

167
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: team cannot win with an unhappy and discround the quarterback,

168
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback, and that Lamar Jacks. It was interesting.

169
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: I got a couple of texts about Lamar from personnel

170
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: executives around the league during this game, and it was

171
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: interesting to hear the different sides, but one of which

172
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: was what you just said, Buck, you know, Okay, if

173
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: he can't play, that's one thing he should He needs

174
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: to be there. He needs to be there on the sideline.

175
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: Don't know what went into that decision, but for him

176
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: not to be there. And the question was posed to me,

177
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: what other starting cornerback that's that's injured but doesn't show

178
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: up to a playoff game? Like who who? What other

179
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are doing this? Like this is this is actory

180
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: here exactly? There should be there should be an explanation

181
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: for that that that that's that's a bad look and

182
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: it's it does speak to kind of a larger issue

183
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: that they have relationally between Lamar and the organization. But

184
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: the other text that I got was, I do not

185
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: dispute Lamar's injury. Pcls are really difficult. Two of the

186
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: best players I was around had their their careers ended

187
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: with this injury, and there's no surgical options so I

188
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: think we can say both things rhet I don't think

189
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: we're straddling the fence by saying, hey, you know, I

190
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: like to see him be there, be there on the

191
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: sideline support his team, um, but also saying hey, I

192
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: also understand he's not able to play. He can't play.

193
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: It's a it's a different injury. It's not like some

194
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: of these other injuries that people have referenced an mc

195
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: l or high ankle or what have you. It's it's

196
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: a it's a real injury. It's a very difficult injury.

197
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,479
Speaker 1: I don't I don't ever uh, you know, make decisions

198
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: or think less of somebody for not playing with an injury.

199
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: But he should have been there, He should have been

200
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: there on the sideline. Yeah, I think I get that

201
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: part two. Um, And And look, I just feel like

202
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: the whole situation is like unraveling. And for a while,

203
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: even though there weren't, you know, direct comments about where

204
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: the contract negotiations stood from either side, it felt like

205
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: both both parties were kind of keeping the negotiations between

206
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: themselves for the first part of this thing. And then

207
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: now like as this as this thing has gotten worse,

208
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: and we knew that they weren't going to negotiate during

209
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the season, and it was over at that point. They

210
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: try to figure out after the year. But now with

211
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: the injury complicating all this and Lamar trying to get

212
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: his side of the story out on Twitter um and

213
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: you got him trying to essentially to defend himself. And

214
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: then now he's you know, he's got some uh kind

215
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: of cryptic quotes that he's out there with on Instagram,

216
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: and you know, you treat certain people with respect and

217
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: that respect will come back to you paraphrasing here. There

218
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: are other types of the quote was something a little

219
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: bit different but essentially gets to the same point. And

220
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: you wonder, like, where are we with this thing now?

221
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: And I think there's some reason there's a reckoning that

222
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: here that has to happen between these two sides to

223
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: try to smooth this out. At least that's the way

224
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: to years now. From the outside looking in, maybe it's

225
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: a little bit different on the inside, but I think

226
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: if it was, maybe you would have seen Lamar there

227
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: um in more of a visible role, in a visible

228
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: leadership role there for his team. The other part of

229
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: this thing is, you know, I just think as you

230
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: look at the Ravens piece of this from the game, like,

231
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: how much would this season like, how much different would

232
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: this season have been with a healthy Rashod Bateman and

233
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: a healthy JK Dobbins the whole way. I thought we'd

234
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: see more of j K Dobbins in this game than

235
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: we did. It was a it was a true share

236
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: with Gus Edwards A thirteen carries for j K, twelve

237
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: for Gus Um. But JK was out there popping off

238
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: five five a carry essentially almost with his sixty two

239
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: yards on those thirteen carrys. I'd love to have seen

240
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: him more involved. And then Rashod Bateman we hardly got

241
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: to see, you know, this year, and I think that's

242
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: a big deal because they're just you know, there was

243
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: not enough on the perimeter, it felt like for much

244
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: of this season for eating any of those quarterbacks to

245
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: really be successful. Um and uh and so yeah, I

246
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: think those two guys healthy to start next season if

247
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: they can get this Lamar situation worked out. I think

248
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: this offense and this team feels a whole lot different.

249
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: And you know, let's throw Ronnie Stanley in there too,

250
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: who's who's banged up for much of the last two years.

251
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: It feels like I just think overall talent wise, when

252
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: you look at the Ravens and you look at who

253
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go through in the a f

254
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: C with these quarterbacks and these offenses for the next decade,

255
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: it just feels like they're good enough to be in

256
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: every game, and they're bad enough to be in every game,

257
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: if that makes any sense. I just feel like they're

258
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: kind of stuck where they are right now. We'll see

259
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: what they do in the off season. All r Let's

260
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: get to another game here, Giants Vikings um Buck. This

261
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: was a game. I think none of the three of

262
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: us were surprised by this. I think all three of

263
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: us thought the Giants were gonna go in there and

264
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: get a win, and that's exactly what happened. What was

265
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: your takeaway on the Giant side of things? My takeaway is,

266
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. Uh. We always talk about team building,

267
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of times we spend our time talking

268
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: about player acquisition, the draft, free agency, and those things.

269
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: But there's something to be said for play of development

270
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: and what Brian day Ball and his staff have done.

271
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: They've taken a bunch of pieces that were brought in

272
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: under Dave Gentleman, and they've got those pieces to flourish.

273
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: So when you really look at the game and you

274
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: look at the best players that showed up in this

275
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: playoff game, say Kawan Barkley, Daniel Jones, Dexter Lawrence Xavian McKinney,

276
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: all played key roles, all drafted by the previous regime.

277
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: And so I think what we have to always understand

278
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: is that they work hand in hand. Coaching matters in

279
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: this league, and where Brian dave Ball and his staff

280
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: have been able to do is unlock all the talent

281
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: and the potential that maybe the previous staff saw when

282
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: they made those picks. But ultimately it has to go

283
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: hand in hand and the Jazz of advance to the

284
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: Division round because they've upgraded the coaching, and the coaching

285
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: has certainly gotten more out of the talent than previous years. Yeah,

286
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Daniel Jones needs to get some credit. I

287
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: feel like because Brian dave Ball did such a nice

288
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: job with Josh Allen and he's done a great job

289
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: here with Daniel Jones. But I feel like all this

290
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: credit has gone to the defense and how all that

291
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: fronts played rightfully. So they've done a great job. All

292
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: the credits going to Brian day Ball beautiful scheme, beautiful

293
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: play design. Lets give the quarterbacks some credit here. Man,

294
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: he's playing at a very very high level. He's protecting

295
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: the football, that's winning football. He's using his legs, which

296
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: makes them more difficult to defend for a team that

297
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: doesn't have an array of weapons on the outside. I

298
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: think those guys are a little underrated and they've played,

299
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, better than what the expectation was. But his

300
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: legs at another weapon to compliment se Kwon Barkley in

301
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: this offense. To me, look, they have a decision to

302
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: make in the off season. They're going to have to

303
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: commit long term to either Sae Kwon Barkley or Daniel Jones,

304
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: and maybe it's both of them and they could franchise

305
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: the other one. Um, that's going to be the decision.

306
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: I know one thing, there's enough teams out there that

307
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: need quarterbacks. I would not roll the dice on on

308
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: franchising Sae Kwon Barkley and then saying okay, well we'll

309
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: let Daniel Jones test the market and hopefully we can

310
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: do a you know what we what we term a

311
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: fair market deal, You're gonna have to go over the

312
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: top to pay either Sa Kwan or him and franchise

313
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: the other one because of the position as they play.

314
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: I would be franchising the running back, and I will

315
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: be trying to work out a deal with Daniel Jones

316
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: and Whett. People. People might scoff at this when I

317
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: say it, but I think his contract, knowing with with

318
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: where Rogers is now, knowing that the Herbert deal is

319
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: going to be coming before long, the Joe Burrow deal

320
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be coming before long, You're gonna have fifty.

321
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: Is gonna be the number where all those those those

322
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: rare guys are. This number is gonna have to start

323
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: with a four. He's gonna make forty million a year.

324
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: And people gonna say, Daniel Jones forty million dollars, you're crazy.

325
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: Look where it's going, Look where that market's going. And

326
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm on his camp, that's that's where

327
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting saying, Hey, we want forty million dollars a year.

328
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: And I know, go ahead, I'm oh, you're crazy. Exactly that.

329
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: We were the same thing about Kirk Cousins back in

330
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: the day. You remember Kirk Cousins is gonna get over

331
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year, and people like twenty million

332
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins. That's the market number, is what it is.

333
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: That's what the market is. Yeah, and you know what,

334
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: all of that outrage will fit the narratives surrounding Daniel

335
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: Jones his entire career in New York. And you know

336
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: what kind of kept coming back to me. At the

337
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: risk of drawing your ire once again, DJ, I'm gonna,

338
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to make another movie analogy for you. Um,

339
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: this one did not involve Home Alone though, Uh this one.

340
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: I kept thinking about Batman. I kept thinking about the

341
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: Dark Knight right in that quote, like because he's the

342
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: hero Gossam deserves and not the one but not the

343
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: one it needs right now. Well, like for the first

344
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: three years of his career, felt like he was the

345
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: hero that New York deserved, but he wasn't the one

346
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: they wanted at that time. But now he's not only

347
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: the hero New York deserves, but he's the one that

348
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: they they absolutely needed. And he showed up on Saturday

349
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And you know, for three years, they hunted him,

350
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: they tried to tear him down, but you know what,

351
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: he could take it, and he was the silent guardian

352
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: and the watchful protector. As the quote goes on, So, um,

353
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, I I just I feel like that's a

354
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: dude that kind of you know, shuts out all that

355
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: outside noise, all that criticism. He's not that outwardly vocal

356
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: um you know, it's all about me type of guy.

357
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: But goes out there and has the most prolific performance

358
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: by a quarterback perhaps in Giants playoff history. One of

359
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: only three quarterbacks to have a three yard passing game

360
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in Giants history, seventy eight rushing yards,

361
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: best rushing performance by a Giant's quarterback in playoff history.

362
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: Like it's just he did everything they required of him,

363
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: and he did it to the absolute highest level. Um.

364
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: So I I think, you know, and just to get

365
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: back to just to get back to the Batman reference here, Um,

366
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: like he should be wielding a huge bag of cash

367
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: as he jumps from rooftop to rooftop, restoring order for

368
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: the Giants in the NFC East. Like that dude has

369
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: played his way into that contract. And I'm a percent

370
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: with you. Put the four in front of it. I

371
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: got I gotta step in because I feel like Rich

372
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: spend all night in his bag with analogies. I think

373
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: we'd hit too much show. He had all kinds of stuff.

374
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean like he went a completely different way. DJ.

375
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: I feel like now I'm gonna have to are bringing

376
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: more books in and more quotes and more forms and

377
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: all kinds of other stuff to drop into the thing,

378
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: because really just a little soliloquy debt has blown my

379
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: mind with the amount of analogies and things that he

380
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: brought in about Daniel Jones. You know that, you know,

381
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: the only thing, the only thing I take from this

382
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: is the fact that you know, maybe two weeks ago

383
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: Kan and his wife took off the restrictions so he's

384
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: allowed to watch PG thirteen movies now because it was

385
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: simply PG. And now we've moved chas he was Christmas movies.

386
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: Was giving you a little freedom. She's giving you a a

387
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: little bit of freedom over there. That's that's nice on

388
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: her part. Um. Let's get to the other side here

389
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings. Last play the game. If you

390
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: if you don't follow Kurt Warner, I highly recommend that

391
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: you do. Our colleague here in Hall of Famer the quarterback.

392
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: He did a great job on Twitter breaking down the

393
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: final play and really kind of defended Cousins to a degree.

394
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: Because you throw underneath the sticks with your your season

395
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: on the line, it is baffling. It makes no sense

396
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: when you look at the All twenty two. Kurt does

397
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: a good job of breaking it down and kind of

398
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: showing you you've got Hockinson who's and a chip on

399
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: the way out. That's why he's underneath the sticks. You're

400
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: getting double covered down the field with Justin Jefferson on

401
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: a high corner, and there's by the time that that

402
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: incut on the top that everybody's pointing to kind of pops,

403
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: he's already got Dexter Lawrence in his face. Now, my

404
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: thing is, I would even though Justin Jefferson's doubled, I'd

405
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: still rather throw one up to him beyond the sticks

406
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: and hope that he can make some type of miraculous play,

407
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: which we've already seen him do. Uh go see the

408
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo game. I'd rather take my shot on that. At

409
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: least you've got a chance versus hoping you're gonna break

410
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: a tackle uh by your tight end and somehow fight

411
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: your way past the marker. So I I understand it

412
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: didn't give Kirk a lot of options. But it's either

413
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: on the play design, it's on the players. Either way

414
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: it is. It's another example of kind of the situational

415
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: football that wins and loses playoff games. You don't have

416
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: the right call, you don't have the right decision, and

417
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: the game's over. Um. It was really that simple. It

418
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: was a back and forth game, or it was a

419
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: game that they had a chance to go down there

420
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: and extend and keep alive. But it's those individual moments,

421
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: Bucket's that's the playoffs. You know, we talked about the

422
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Ravens. One play, knowing where you are

423
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, not being secured the football, one play,

424
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: game over, this is the end of the game. Try

425
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: and extend the game. You throw, you have a play design,

426
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: you end up throwing underneath the sticks. You don't give

427
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: yourself a chance, man like. That's why so much of

428
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: practice is dedicated to these situations. And they mangled that one. Yeah,

429
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: they mangle, and so it goes again to we talked

430
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: about experience in these moments, playoff experience, particularly when it

431
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: comes to coaching because in that moment, what you're looking

432
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: for when you're a player, I need my coach to

433
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: help me out. I need my coach to find a

434
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: way to get my best player open. That is what

435
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: the technical part of the game is. And so when

436
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: we think about Justin Jefferson in the last three games, DJ,

437
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: he just totaled a little under or barely a shade

438
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: over a hundred receiving yards in the last three games.

439
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: When we think about the playoffs, as much as I

440
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: love role players and X factors in those things, in

441
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs it's about the stars, and the coaches job

442
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: is to find a way to unlock the stars so

443
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: they can make a big impact on the game. For

444
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson to have one cast for three or four

445
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: yards in the second half, it's inexcusable. You have to

446
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: have other stuff in the bag for your number one option,

447
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: probably your best offensive player, to get loose. And the

448
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: fact that they did, I mean, it's an indictment on

449
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: Kevi McConnell and the coaching staff. And I will say

450
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: this because I love what Kevin o'conna has done with

451
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: this offense, but in these moments, you gotta find a

452
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: way for your best player to have a huge impact

453
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: on the game when the game is hanging in the balance,

454
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: and that other stuff does not include being the throwback

455
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: person on the QB throwback that goes for a five

456
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: yard loss. As yeah, uh yeah, I think you're right,

457
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: But I also think the Giants deserve a lot of

458
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: credit for, you know, finding a way to deal with

459
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Essentially, you know, played a ton of quarters coverage,

460
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 1: ton of played a ton of covered three essentially had

461
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: a Dory Jackson and a safety basically dedicated to Justin Jefferson,

462
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: either inside out, underneath, and over the op on just

463
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: about every rep. And they gave him a pretty healthy

464
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: cushion on most of those past plays. And I just

465
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: felt like they were content on that first drive and

466
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: they found they found j J for a couple of

467
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: short ones, you know, hit a hit a slant here,

468
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: hit it, hitting in here, hitting out there. But they

469
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: that was cool. They were okay with that as long

470
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: as he wasn't banging his head on the goal post

471
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: running free, you know, through through that Giant secondary. They

472
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: were okay with that. And I thought that wink Warton

473
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Dale had a really nice game play, and he blitz

474
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: a ton in this game. They didn't have to dexter.

475
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: Lawrence was a wrecking crew, um. And you know you

476
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: had Cabon Thibodeau in there doing doing his thing off

477
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: the edge too, And I just felt like it was

478
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: a great plan and they executed it to perfection. And

479
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: I wish I could say the same about the Vikings defense.

480
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the playoffs. I just I

481
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: just feel like, you gotta it's tear this thing down, right.

482
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, maybe built around Daniel Hunter.

483
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: I know he's had the you know, some injuries that

484
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: he's had to deal with that has caused him to

485
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: miss some significant time in his career, but he's the

486
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: best you got. And look, I love Harris and Smith

487
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: as a player has been one of my favorite players

488
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. You know, how many

489
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: great years does he have left? Um? I think you know,

490
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: we talk about a guy like Patrick Peterson, Eric Kendricks,

491
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: who who have you been in the league? And Kendrick's

492
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: case has been with the Vikings for a long time.

493
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: I just you know, those guys can stay around, but

494
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: like you need to find some dynamic playmakers at all

495
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: three levels. And it feels like the Vikings have tried

496
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: to in the secondary in particular, they just haven't hit.

497
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: So they gotta they gotta dj when when you go

498
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: back and you do the you know, the hits and

499
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: the mess man um when you grade their draft picks

500
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: next year, like they gotta be all hits because they

501
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: need some help on defense, no doubt. They gotta put

502
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: the bat signal up for some defensive playmakers. All right,

503
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm done there. All right, let's let's take a quick break.

504
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: So fair enough, let's take a quick break. We're gonna

505
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: come back talk about a game that was close for

506
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: a long time and I did not see that coming.

507
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: The Dolphins and the Bills will dig into that one

508
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: right after this break. Let's jump into this game, the

509
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: third meeting between the Dolphins in the Bills. Dolphins go

510
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: on the road with their third string quarterback and oh boy,

511
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: we had a ballgame. Uh. They only lose thirty four

512
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: thirty one Dolphins right in that ball game down to

513
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: the very end unfortunate penalty which I'm sure we'll touch

514
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: on here, uh in a minute. But let's start on

515
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: the winning side of this thing with the Buffalo Bills.

516
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: They win, they advanced rhet What was your takeaway here

517
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: with what Buffalo was able to get done? Well, Look,

518
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: I think you know, there's a lot to to kind

519
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: of dig through here on Josh Allen's performance, and I

520
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: know we will. He continues to kind of skirt that

521
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: fine line between you know, wanting the ball in his

522
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: hands and feeling like he can do everything possible to

523
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: win and then also doing too much and having some

524
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: of those mistakes creep up. But I think on a

525
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: positive note for Buffalo, you know, you're one of those

526
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: teams that's been really good, one of the best teams

527
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: in the league the last three or four years. Now

528
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: you're picking way down low in the draft. You gotta

529
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: hit on those picks. I think we all can um

530
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: you know here on this podcast and what we do,

531
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: like you understand the importance of you know, when when

532
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: you've got you know a lot of money committed to

533
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: some really good players, you've gotta find ways to maximize

534
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: those draft picks. And they really have this year. You know,

535
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: you look at kyer Ellam, I think you know has

536
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: had his ups and downs this year as a rookie

537
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: corner as most do um, but man Um, you know,

538
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: no Dolphins receiver more than seventy yards in this game.

539
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: He had to pick out his hand on a couple

540
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: of more balls, and so like, I just I feel

541
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: like he played really well and coverage. Khalil Shakier, uh,

542
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: some big third down catches, had an explosive. You know,

543
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy that they're gonna count on.

544
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: You know, you're already paying Steffon Digs a ton of money.

545
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: How much is Gabe David's gonna require down the road.

546
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: So Khalil Shakier is a guy they're probably gonna have

547
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: to rely on in an even bigger role the next

548
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: couple of years. And then James Cook, you know this

549
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: year again just showing how dynamic he can be. That

550
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: touchdown run so easy to see that high gear shift

551
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: change that he has and just provides another element to

552
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: this offense where they can attack you. I just wish

553
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: maybe you'd use them just a little bit more in

554
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: some of those situations and prevent some of these turnovers

555
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: that we've seen. The Bills offense have these last really

556
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: kind of eight weeks, you know, second half of the season,

557
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: and it continued into the regular season. So I just

558
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I thought they had a really nice performance from their

559
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: rookie class, kind of giving them what they needed at

560
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: the right times. Yeah. Nice, nice work there by the

561
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: young guys. You know, I want to touch on the

562
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: turnovers though. You mentioned that Josh Allen fumbaball three times

563
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: only lost one of them. Um, you have the two interceptions.

564
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: He got sacked seven times in this team. If those

565
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: numbers are anywhere close, and this next game against the

566
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, their season is over. They have got to

567
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: clean a lot of this stuff up. You know, you

568
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: still go score thirty four points. You still see Josh

569
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: Allen with those you know, incredible plays he can make

570
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: down the field, and take nothing away from him. It's

571
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: just gotta be cleaner. We talked about Cincinnati and while

572
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: they didn't produce like you'd want to produce, overall, we

573
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: thought they played a pretty clean football game. I think

574
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna you know, I'm kind of pushing this thing

575
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: forward here versus backward, but you know, this is gonna

576
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: be a heavyweight matchup between the Bills and the Bengals,

577
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: and they have to play a much cleaner brand of

578
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: football offensively and Josh specifically, if they're gonna keep moving

579
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: on buck you know, DJ Sunny. It's funny because in

580
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: watching the game, I think the Miami Dolphins put out

581
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: a blueprint that the Cincinnati Bengals can follow. If you

582
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: watch the game closing, when you study, you see that

583
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins played a lot of cover zero. They did

584
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: a lot of simulated pressures where it looked like zero.

585
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: They fell out and it really gave Josh Allen in

586
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: the past protection problems where if you know anything about

587
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, lou and he does that a ton.

588
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: They are great at it and they have probably a

589
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: better line up to be able to execute it. So

590
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: it is one of the areas where the Buffalo Bills

591
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: have to clean up. Josh Allen has to play better.

592
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: But let's flip it on the other side. Defensively, you've

593
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: talked about it. We've talked about it since Von Miller

594
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: departed due to an injury. We wondered who are going

595
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: to be the closers for the Buffalo Bills. Yesterday it

596
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: was great Mattmlano stepped up had two sacks from his

597
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: linebacker position. But for this team to win against the heavyweights,

598
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: that are remaining in the a f C tournament. They

599
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: are going to have to be able to close games

600
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: out with the past for us so ed Oliver Gregg Russo,

601
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: um boogie basham. Someone is going to have to stuff

602
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: up and be able to win one on one on

603
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: the outside so they can get home to the quarterback

604
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: and really change the way that the rhythm and the

605
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: time and is going in the passing game. They weren't

606
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: able to do it consistently enough against the Miami Dolphins.

607
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: They have to up to any against their future opponents.

608
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: All right, flip over there, sidebuck the Dolphins takeaways. Let's

609
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 1: go to the losing side of this thing and what

610
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: it means going forward, okay, man. So, Bill far Sales

611
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: has this saying and it's going on for years where

612
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: he talks about every game is winnable if you're willing

613
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: to do the things that it takes to win, meaning

614
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: the way that you call the game, the way that

615
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: you manage the game. You have to do it. I am.

616
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: I probably was more frustrated watching the Dolphins played because

617
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: the game was there for them to steal. It was

618
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: right there for them to steal, and for whatever reason,

619
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel refused to play the game in a way

620
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: that they could have walked out with it. Now everyone

621
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter versus talking about, yeah they were, and they're

622
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: doing it with a third string quarterback in YadA, YadA, YadA.

623
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: That is great. No more victims when it comes to

624
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: the postseason. This game was right there. They're turning the

625
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: ball over left and right, the Buffalo Bills and the

626
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Twenty League. You're playing with the third streing

627
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: quarterback and I don't know why he's the one of

628
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: all forty five times like he's a third streing quarterback

629
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: who's also a rookie. Don't put the ball in his

630
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: hand so much because bad things are eventually going to happen.

631
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: And third and a million, they throw a pass against

632
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Cover two. I can't blame the quarterback because the quarterback

633
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: is young. He's trying to make a play. If Mike

634
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: mc daniel doesn't give the Buffalo Bills an easy opportunity

635
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: to flip the game, maybe the Miami Dolphins win. And

636
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: so for all of the offensive acumen that we thought

637
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins were getting from my Mike mc daniels,

638
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: they got some of that in the past game, I

639
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna get a guy who was more

640
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: committed to the run. And I thought I was gonna

641
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: get a better guy when it came to strategy and

642
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: tactics that we haven't seen. The inexperienced crushed the Miami Dolphins.

643
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: They have to live with that in the off season. Yeah,

644
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: And I think that strategy also comes into play defensively.

645
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: And you know, while you know, sometimes we want to

646
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: give you know, some defensive coordinators credit for you know,

647
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: getting in there and you know and being aggressive, you know,

648
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: and running a lot of that zero stuff. And you know,

649
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: I know that Dolphins have done it quite a bit

650
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: this year, and it's it's kind of come under some

651
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: scrutiny with Josh Boyer leading the way there and I look, well,

652
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: maybe they hit a couple in this game, but I

653
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: gave up way too much. You know, a couple of

654
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: those touchdowns from Josh Allen came versus zero. And when

655
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: you got you know, players like Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis,

656
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, you can make those plays deep down the

657
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: field and you're not getting home. You know, with the

658
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: pass rush that you've got to be so connected when

659
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: you're putting your corners and your secondary players out on

660
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: an island like that's so often in a game against

661
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: high level playmakers like Diggs and company. And I just

662
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: feel like, if you got Bradley Chubb and Jalen Phillips

663
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: and and some of those guys getting after the pass

664
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: off the edge, like, do you have to put the

665
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: corners out there on their own that much in these

666
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: types of games when it's all on the line. So

667
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think that there there might

668
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: be some better ways to to go about getting some

669
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: of that pass rush and generating some of that pressure

670
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: on the quarterback while still providing a little bit more

671
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: support to your guys on the back end DJ you know,

672
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: and flip it over, you know, with the Dolphins offense.

673
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson, Hey, if you told me going through the

674
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: draft process that he would be starting games at the rookie,

675
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: I said, you're crazy. If you told me he'd be

676
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: starting a playoff game on the road and put up

677
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: thirty points and have a chance to win. Um, I mean,

678
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: that's incredible job by him. So I want to make

679
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: sure we give him all the respect and all the

680
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: kudos and all the congratulations for what he was able

681
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: to accomplish. Um, you know, it was great in the

682
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: East West game, and man, he part laid that into

683
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: a having a really nice run here as a rookie.

684
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: But this team has a dilemma, you know, going into

685
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: the off season of what they're going to do. I

686
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: mean to I know, they said they're committed to to

687
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: and they want to get him healthy and get him

688
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: back out there, but you can't bank on that. And

689
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: while I like Skyler Thompson what he's able to do,

690
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: I think you need to bring in another veteran. I

691
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: don't think Teddy Bridgewater is that guy. Um, I don't

692
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: know that Teddy bridge Bridgewater wants to be that guy.

693
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: I think Teddy's content kind of be a backup and

694
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: and maintain that status as a backup. They need to

695
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: find somebody, uh they can go in there, and I

696
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't know who that is, who

697
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: that veteran would be and Andy Dalton type, but they

698
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: need somebody that that they can get them through games

699
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: and maybe even has to get them through a whole

700
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: season because I just don't know you can be confident

701
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: on two of going forward that you're gonna be able

702
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: to have him out there. It is what it is.

703
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: It's a it's a tough deal. The last thing we'll

704
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: say on the Dolphins, Uh, go ahead. Yeah. I was

705
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: just saying, like, if you're gonna have a QB two

706
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: like Teddy Bridgewater, he's gotta be available. And I think

707
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: there are multiple times this year when you know, and

708
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: and through perhaps no fault of his own, but he's

709
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 1: been so banged almost as banged up as to has been.

710
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: And so that's why Skyler Thompson is in the even

711
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: in this position, and I think he showed enough to

712
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: at least be considered as the quarterback to there in Miami.

713
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: But you gotta, yeah, you gotta figure out a way

714
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: to have somebody that's reliable, you know, if and when

715
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: you decided to continue to hitch that wagon to two

716
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: as your starter, Yeah, that's the decision for them to make.

717
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: Last thing on the game itself, Man, get the play

718
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: call in. I can't tell you, I'm screaming at the

719
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: television at Mike McDonald. Get the play call and get

720
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: this young quarterback up to the line of scrimmage. Ever,

721
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: and it wasn't just the five yard penalty at the

722
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: very end of the game that ended up cost him,

723
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: going from a fourth and one to a fourth and six.

724
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: It was happening throughout the whole game where it was

725
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: just such a rush. You've got a young quarterback because

726
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: it's like snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap the

727
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: ball like it made me nervous. It made coffee nervous

728
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: watching that game. Get the dang play call in. That

729
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: was frustrating to watch. I don't know if they were

730
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: having comms issues or what the deal was, but man,

731
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: that was that was frustrating to watch from the couch. Anyways, Sorry,

732
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna come back.

733
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about an NFC West clash between the

734
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco forty Niners, and the

735
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: brock Purty Express continues to roll on. We'll get to

736
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: that right after this. All right, welcome back to move

737
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: the sticks here, let's jump into the NFC West. This

738
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: was a game that the forty Niners. Let's the see

739
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: how it's hanging around for a minute, and then they

740
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: just put their foot on the gas and pulled away.

741
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: The Niners went at home against the Seahawks rhet I

742
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: think we got to start with the quarterback there. What

743
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: was your takeaway? Yeah, I mean takeaway is that the

744
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: dude just continues to impress. I mean the fact that

745
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: Brock Purty's name is up there with Joe Montana and

746
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: Steve Young in terms of performances in a first career

747
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: playoff game. I mean, he says something for a kid

748
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: that was drafted to it or sixty two overall. And look,

749
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: I think the thing that I'm most impressed with because

750
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: we've seen him he is a fit for the system.

751
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: He executes at a high level with what Kyle Shanahan

752
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: asks him to do. But this was his first opportunity

753
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: on a stage like this in a playoff game. And

754
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: the first half, let's be honest, it wasn't great. Nine

755
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: and nineteen missed some throws. You know, they were out

756
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: a sink a little bit. And even though you know

757
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: this was a tight game for much of the first

758
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: half and was at the break. Anyway, he comes back

759
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: out after has a chat with Kyle Shanahan at the

760
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: break and he's like, I was like, look, the plays

761
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: are out there to be made. You just gotta go

762
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: make him and we believe you can go make him.

763
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: And you know, Brock talked about that after the game.

764
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: He's all right, Well, then he goes nine for eleven

765
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: and they find the end zone. It turns into a blowout.

766
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like this, the mental toughness of a kid

767
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: like that who could have easily gone into the tank

768
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: when things weren't quite going. I mean, you should have

769
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: seen the You probably did. Like the commentary on Twitter.

770
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: It was like clo clock struck midnight on brock Purty. Um,

771
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: you know it's Cinderella turns into a pumpkin or whatever

772
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: the fairy tale is. At that point, I mean like

773
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: it felt like like, oh my gosh, this guy's you know,

774
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: he's never gonna play again. Um, and then you know what, Yeah,

775
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: it picks up the pieces and finds his way back

776
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: into the into the rhythm and into the game flow

777
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: and and absolutely shreds the Seahawks stores for over three

778
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: hundred three touchdowns, no picks, don't turn the ball over,

779
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: and then runs into touchdown as well. I mean, like

780
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: everything that the forty Niners asked of brock Purty, he delivered,

781
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: especially in that second half. Guys, I'm just looking up

782
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: turns into a pumpkin. Who was it again? That turned

783
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin? Because I know, um, okay it was,

784
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: wasn't it? All right? Look, one analogy is enough, okay,

785
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: Like you can't ask you this is the problem. This

786
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: is your problem because that you get a little traction,

787
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: We give you a little love, we give you a

788
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: little leave with let's let's lett drift them on and

789
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: let's get a solid movie analogy. And then you just

790
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: can't be content. Just be content. You gotta win. You

791
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: gotta win. Earlier we got the black Night, and then

792
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: you just we just keep going. You know, we just

793
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: gotta be content in life. Come on, alright, work on that.

794
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: We'll work on that, all right. Brock Purty, This was

795
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: a stat that our buddy Jack Andreid with NFL Research

796
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: put out there. And this was wide open. So guys

797
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: with five plus yards of separation, brock Purty seventy nine yards,

798
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, no picks, with a perfect passer rating all

799
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: other attempts ninety three yards at the seventy one point

800
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: five pass rating, and everybody and a lot of people

801
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: ran with this. It's a good nugget. It's a great

802
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: stat from Jack the reason why I'll give Purdy some

803
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: some credit here. One of the reasons why these guys

804
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: are so wide open is because he's getting the number

805
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: three and number four in the progression. Now, you can't

806
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: do that if you don't have the offensive line. But

807
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: he is processing very fast. And when we look for

808
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: elite traits, and I necessarily see an elite trait physically

809
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: with Brock. Purtty does not have elite size and not

810
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: have elite arm strength, not an elite athlete. What he

811
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: does have is he's an elite processor. And his ability

812
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: to kind of be as Bucky you always say, kind

813
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: of the joystick for the head coach. He's able to

814
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: just operate that system and get bing bing bing bing, three,

815
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: four in the progression balls out, and those guys are open.

816
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons they are open is because

817
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: I was talking with Orlovski on the phone about this yesterday,

818
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: just the the versatility and the creativity. So you have

819
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: the versatility of all these guys you check and play

820
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: tight end, fullback. You got McCaffrey can play running back

821
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: and receiver, Debo can line up in the backfield of

822
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: Slaughter out wide. All that versatility George Kittle can do

823
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: all these different things. It is it is really allowing

824
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: them to be tough to defend because you don't know

825
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: how to to identify their personnel groupings that they're putting

826
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: out there, because they can put all those guys in

827
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: different places, long, long winded way to say. It's a

828
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: it's a unique group that they have there with a

829
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: play caller and a quarterback that fits. And so while

830
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: we can say, I don't think you take brock Purty

831
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: and just drop him into any offense and you're seeing

832
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: anything close to what we're seeing right now, this is

833
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: a perfect marriage for how he likes to play. Uh

834
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: kind of be that joystick as you like to say,

835
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: block yeah, DJ. Some of the things that we have

836
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: to do on TV are different than when you're working

837
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: for a team. When you work for a team, it

838
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: is always fit in scheme. How does this prospect fit

839
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: within our scheme? And what you're seeing is brought purity

840
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: is a perfect fit for how the Niners want to play.

841
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: And then it's the other pieces around him that also fit.

842
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: So when you talk about the versatility of their offense,

843
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: that was very intentional by Kyle Shanahan. All of these

844
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: guys are hybrids in their own way. We talked about

845
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel being a running backslash wide receiver. They can

846
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: get it done. We talked about George Kittle being a

847
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: hybrid because I think he's an offensive tackle and a

848
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver because he blocks so well and catch his passes.

849
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: You check and we can go down the line when

850
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: it comes to Christian McCaffrey and some of these other guys,

851
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: and so I think a big part of it is

852
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: the vision of Kyle Shanahan working with the front office

853
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: to make sure that they get the right pieces so

854
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: he can kind of go in the kitchen and cook

855
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: up the masterpiece that is this offense. It's really impressive

856
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: to what. Now I'm supposed to speak on the defense,

857
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: and I'll say the defense has to play better. They

858
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: can't give up the explosive place. But really, when you

859
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: play office like the Nighters are playing offensively, it doesn't matter.

860
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: The defense just has to make a few stops because

861
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: right now brock Purty is cooking with gaslight. First of all,

862
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: my youngest daughter is almost seventeen, so I haven't seen

863
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: the movie in a while. Um, but the uh, the

864
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: turning into a pumpkin is from Cinderella, in which a

865
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: pumpkin magically transforms into a coach uh and reverts back

866
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,959
Speaker 1: to a pump Yes, a midnight. Yes, it was a coach. Yes,

867
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: the coach, That's what it was. It's the coach. Is

868
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: not her close enough for me? Actually? Her? No? Anyways,

869
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: be closer than I thought. To be honest with you,

870
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: I thought you were way off on that one. It

871
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: turns out right right there. Hey, hey, right, neighborhood, wrong house.

872
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: That's fine, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm gonna go

873
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: to the other side of it here with Seattle. They

874
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: need more pieces, especially in that front seven chennan Oils,

875
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: who has been a great fine for them. I love

876
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: what he brings to the table. They need more of them.

877
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: They need to kind of clone him. They two or

878
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: three more real difference makers in that front seven, like

879
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: some of the pieces they have on the back end.

880
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: I thought Terrik Willan thought that was a tough matchup

881
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: for him in this game. Uh. They kind of got

882
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: away from him a little bit uh on some of

883
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: those in cuts, but overall, unbelievable year for him. He'll

884
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: be in the mix for Rookie of the year. I

885
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: like the pieces they have to work with their but

886
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: buck they need more blue players, more difference makers in

887
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: their front seven. Yeah, they have, they have more blue players.

888
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: Then the good thing is the Russell Wilson trade certainly

889
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: gives them enough opportunities to give more Blues in the lineup.

890
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is, then you have more Blues.

891
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: Imagine how much better Geno Smith can play in this

892
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: kind of hard to imagine that he led the league

893
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: in completion percentage, but he can get even better as

894
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: this offensive line matures, as the running game continues to

895
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: develop with Keimneth Walker, and as d K mckeff and

896
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett continue to deliver these explosive plays. The one

897
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: position that I think they could target maybe a tied

898
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: end is one of the things that Seattle has never

899
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: really had, Like a big playmaking tied in that can

900
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: command the middle, command attention over the the field man.

901
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: It would just open up the outside if you have

902
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: someone that they also have to pay attention to. But yeah,

903
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: I think that should need to build around Gino Smith

904
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: year two years, whatever it looks like, and two that

905
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: they can find the perfect quarterback to take them to

906
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: the next decade and boy History. Yeah, so let's look

907
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: at that Russell Wilson trade is essentially netted them the

908
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: number five overall pick in this year's draft, and uh,

909
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: you know they've got some They probably still need to

910
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: continue to fortify the offensive line in front of Gino,

911
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: but you get your two tackles last year, right, you're

912
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: not moving off crossing Lucas at left and right. So

913
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: then we're talking about trying to upgrade the interior. I

914
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: don't know if that fits at number five there. So yeah,

915
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: let's let's use DJ's plan and try to upgrade the

916
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: defensive front, particularly out on the edge. You know they've

917
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: tried that in recent years. You kind of go back

918
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: to like L. J. Collier this past year with Boyfe,

919
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: you might still turn into one of those really good

920
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: players off the edge. But if you got you know,

921
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: the ability to make you know, a big time splash

922
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: there at five with a guy who can get after

923
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback ahead and do it. So let's just assume,

924
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, with those first four picks, even though the

925
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: orders set, we feel like right now we have a

926
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: pretty good idea of who those first four players are

927
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna be. I don't know which order and which team

928
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: is going to ultimately make the selection, but it feels

929
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: like you're gonna get c J. Stroud, Bryce Young, c J.

930
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: Stroud who just officially declared for the draft by the way,

931
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: c J. Bryce Young, Jalen Carter, and then Will Anderson

932
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: from Alabama. And so then you've got the Seahawks sitting

933
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: there at five, maybe their choice of Tyree Wilson from

934
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: Texas Tech DJ No, you're big fan of. And we'll

935
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: get to a lot of that here in the next

936
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Uh, you know, maybe a guy like

937
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: Miles Murphy at a Clemson like they feel like they're

938
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna be sit in a pretty good spot to get

939
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: a high level defender there at number five to help

940
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: kind of help build that team and build that defense back. Yeah. No,

941
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in a great spot there. That's a

942
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: trade that man, you talked about, a trade working out

943
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: for you in the organization. Absolutely, Russell Wilson trade that's

944
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna be paying off for a long time for John

945
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: Snyder and Pete Carroll. All Right, we'll take one more

946
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: break here. We're gonna come back. We're gonna finally get

947
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: to the move the Sticks Bowl here and the wildest

957
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: this was the game. Was great to see out there

958
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, man, first of all, but cold and Florida.

959
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: I did not know that we were going to uh,

960
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: we'll be playing in thirty degree weather. I did not

961
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: look at the weather report before I left. Terrible move

962
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: on my part. But you survived down there on the

963
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: sidelines in a wild game. You know. You hear the

964
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: phrase a tale of two halves? Uh. I don't know

965
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: if it's ever been more appropriate than for this game

966
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: right here. What do you think? Uh it one? I

967
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: also didn't check the weather DJ To my surprise, it

968
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: was much colder than I pack four and the game

969
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 1: and a long game, got a little got a little

970
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: cold on the toes. So but that you're right, it

971
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: was a teller to ask and it really was a

972
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: teller to asked for the franchise quarterback and Trevor Lawrence.

973
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: One of the things that we have always talked about

974
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: is the quarterback is not just the talent, it's the

975
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: stuff on the inside. And I can tell you Trevor

976
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: Lawrence was definitely tested when it came to his courage

977
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: and confidence. Four interceptions in the first half, admittedly saying

978
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: that he couldn't figure out what was going on, but

979
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: then to respond at a four for sixteen start with

980
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: four interceptions to deliver four touchdowns to bring the team

981
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: back from a twenty seven point deficit speaks volumes about him.

982
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: And it also speaks volumes about the belief that Doug

983
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: Peterson has in this franchise quarterback. I don't know how

984
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: many coaches would not have like at least pondered the thought, like, man,

985
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: do I need to send them down just for a

986
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: minute to let it slow down? But he stuck with him.

987
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence rewarded him for his patients by delivering an

988
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: outstanding performance in the second have that helped this team

989
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: walk down to Charges and the crazy game probably one

990
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: of the wildest games I've ever been a part of. Yeah,

991
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: I I posted after the game, and really not after

992
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: just after this game, but watching all the games this

993
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: weekend that I thought the most underrated word and and

994
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: kind of characteristic of championship football is where we are

995
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: here in the playoffs is poise um. And that's not

996
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: just poise on the field by your players, it's poise

997
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: on the sideline with your coach. And this was as

998
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: you've seen all year long with this team. Buck. That

999
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: was a microcosm of their season, and this thing was

1000
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: headed down um. They were, they were having a rough go,

1001
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson was calm and steady and just and

1002
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 1: instills confidence in this group. They turned their whole season around.

1003
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: He kind of spoken into existence, talked about the crystal ball,

1004
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: and I see us playing in the last week of

1005
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: the season with everything on the line. And sure enough, Uh,

1006
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. They get into the postseason and

1007
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: this one a game the Charges are in complete control.

1008
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 1: I didn't think he panicked and he didn't come out

1009
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: trying to, as we say, eat the sandwich all on

1010
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: one bite. They took what was there. It was pretty

1011
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: incredible to have that type of a comeback without really

1012
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: you know, getting turnovers and short fields and quick scores

1013
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: and and really only kind of one explosive play over

1014
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: the top. It was just, you know, they they were

1015
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: a team that that is a rhythm passing team. The

1016
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: Chargers took that away um in the first part of

1017
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: the game. They took away the space and then the

1018
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: Chargers got a little conservative with their coverage and allowed

1019
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: this offense to get into a rhythm and see the

1020
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: ball go through the hoop as we like to say.

1021
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: And once that happened, you had a play caller on

1022
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: Peterson at a quarterback and Trevor Lawrence Rhett. They got

1023
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: in a rhythm and they couldn't the Charges couldn't stop them.

1024
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: The whole second half. They could not stop them. Yeah,

1025
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: and look, I'll go back to what we saw. Remember,

1026
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking about the draft class for

1027
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: the Bills right now. They kind of showed up and

1028
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: and had a real nice impact for him and that

1029
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: win over the Dolphins. Look at the free agency class

1030
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: and what they were able to do for the Jacksonville

1031
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars this year. Evan Ingram, Christian Kirk, Za Jones all

1032
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: come to Duvall in their first years. This year, they

1033
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: combined thirty eight targets in this game. And as I

1034
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: move my video over there, you go thirty eight car

1035
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: gets twenty three catches in this game three yards and

1036
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: each one of them had a touchdown. And then you

1037
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: go on the defensive side of the ball. Foy uh

1038
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: Lou Khan continues to have a huge impact always around

1039
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: the football. Thirteen tackles, Ard and Key Foley fought Kasi

1040
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: like they've got contributors on defense, and they found a

1041
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: stud in in Alukhan. Ray Sean Jenkins back in the

1042
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty one class has proved that he could be a

1043
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: big play guy here. Roy Robertson Harris from the twenty

1044
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: one class, two and Nice stepped a piece like they've

1045
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: hit it out of the park on some of these

1046
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: free agent deals. And even though there's still that narrative,

1047
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: oh do they pay too much for Christian Kirk. Look,

1048
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be deep into free agency, you are

1049
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: going to pay. You are going to overpay. That's just

1050
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: the nature of free agency. But if those guys can produce,

1051
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: then it's worth it at that point for a team

1052
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: like that with the Jaguars and um, they have definitely

1053
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: made it worth it with a couple of those guys.

1054
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: And Evan Ingram is going to command some big money

1055
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: here after the formans that he had in this game

1056
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: and and in this season for Jacksonville, no doubt. And

1057
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: I want to return to a theme we've talked about earlier,

1058
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: which is kind of that focus, that championship focus, and

1059
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: how one play can really kind of turn a game

1060
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: or decide a game. We talked about it in Baltimore.

1061
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: Right Huntley tries to jump over the top, exposes the football.

1062
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: It's a fourteen point play. That's the ballgame. Talking about Minnesota.

1063
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: At the end, Kirk Cousins throws underneath the sticks. Whether

1064
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: it's the play call, you don't like the design of it,

1065
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: what have You don't give yourself a chance to extend

1066
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: that football game, Miami not getting the play call in

1067
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: stuffering a delay a game with with your season online,

1068
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: you go from a fourth and one to a fourth

1069
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: and six. These individual plays and this is championship focus,

1070
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,479
Speaker 1: both on the field and on the sideline. That's not there, Um,

1071
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: there was a play, and this is a late in

1072
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: the second quarter, a couple of minutes to go, Chargers

1073
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: are facing a third and less than a yard. Now,

1074
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 1: keep in mind, as my partner Matt money Smith said

1075
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: at the time, Justin Herbert is nine for nine on

1076
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: quarterback sneaks on third or fourth and one or less.

1077
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: He is over his career twenty three two converting orter

1078
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: back sneaks. This is the playoffs. This is winner go home.

1079
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: Even though you have a comfortable twenty seven and nothing game,

1080
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: your quarterback sneak right there. If even if you don't

1081
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: go on to score points, I believe they are their

1082
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: own thirty. Even if you don't score points, you can

1083
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: eat up the rest of the clock. You're gonna the

1084
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 1: halfs gonna end. You tried into halftime twenty seven nothing.

1085
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: You are absolutely choking the life out of this Jaguars team.

1086
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: They have, They have no no hope at that point

1087
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: in time. Instead, Justin checks now he said it was

1088
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: an inside run call, and Herbert checked to this speed sweep. Now,

1089
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: keep in mind, Mike Williams is not playing, so he's

1090
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: not in that spot. His backup DeAndre Carter got hurt

1091
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: in this game. So it's practice squatter. Michael Bandy, who's

1092
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: been elevated, has been up and down all year long.

1093
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't he he doesn't even know what's going on.

1094
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't even try and take the ball. So he

1095
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: gets the motion, he's surprised, he turns away from the football.

1096
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: It ends up being a fumble. They end up losing

1097
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: ten yards. So not only not get the first down,

1098
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: you lose ten yards of field position. The Jags end

1099
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: up going down and they get that first touchdown at

1100
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: the end of the first half and buck that makes

1101
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: it to seven. It doesn't sound like a huge deal.

1102
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: It is a major difference. You go into that locker

1103
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: room saying, hey, guys, three scores, we need to get

1104
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: some stops. We're three scores down. We're gonna get plenty

1105
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: of possessions to be able to come back in this

1106
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: ball game. Um. So that was the biggest takeaway from me,

1107
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: that kind of one moment. And the other thing I'll

1108
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: add is you can say, and I get kind of

1109
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: the way the games played right now, it's a passing league,

1110
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: and you can say, okay, if anything, we want to

1111
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: stop the pass. We want to limit the explosive pass plays.

1112
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: And that's how you play defense, great red zone defense.

1113
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: But this Charger team was historically bad against a run

1114
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: in terms of yards per carry, and it's been that

1115
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: way for a couple of years now, even though they've

1116
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: changed out some of the personnel. And this is two

1117
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: years in a row. But I guess rhet, you're up

1118
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: next year, but two years in a row. Last year,

1119
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: they have a fourth down with the Raiders, and the

1120
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: Raiders need a big chunk of yardage here. Uh, I'm sorry,

1121
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: third down late in this ball game. He runs Josh

1122
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: Jacob Boom runs right through Asante. Samuel ends up getting

1123
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: a bunch more yards. They get the first down, and

1124
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: they end up kicking the game winning field goal, which

1125
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: eliminates the charges from the playoffs. Now you go again,

1126
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: fourth and one. They great play called by Doug Peterson.

1127
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: They get to the perimeter, it's a push to crack

1128
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 1: buck Sante Sanguel ends up getting pulled inside, loses contain.

1129
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: There's nobody there for Travis E t n off to

1130
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: the races. So there are issues against the run on

1131
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: the on the ultimate play that decided their season, two

1132
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: years in a row, they couldn't get it done well.

1133
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: Look at the other side of that coin too. I mean, like,

1134
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: if you've had a little some semblance of a physical

1135
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: run game, to just salt away some of that clock

1136
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: and help get some of those first downs, extend some

1137
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: of those drives and punch in, you know, a touchdown.

1138
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: You know, he just one score like that into the

1139
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: second half. And this is a different ballgame. And you

1140
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: know this, This is a Chargers team that, through this

1141
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: the end of this wild card weekend, with one game

1142
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: length to play, ran more offensive plays than anybody in

1143
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: football this year, yet had the second lowest run percentage. Now,

1144
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: I get that you've got a generational type of quarterback

1145
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,479
Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert. I get the allt or of putting

1146
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands a lot, But man, you're

1147
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: not even getting You're not even you know, middle third

1148
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: of the league in explosive past plays. So like, I

1149
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: just feel like, if you're gonna have and and I

1150
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: get it, if you want to, let you know Justin

1151
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: you know, let Justin Herbert loose, let him throw the

1152
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: ball a bunch, fine, but when you need it, you

1153
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: gotta be able to find the run game. And also

1154
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: understand they've had some you know issues up front with

1155
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line being banked up. But man, you gotta

1156
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: be able to extend some drives, work some clock, especially

1157
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: as you're up twenty seven nothing at that point. You know,

1158
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: I know it's still first half, but man, get into

1159
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: the second half, you're still up to three scores. You

1160
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: gotta be able to work some clock on the ground,

1161
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: and the Chargers just have not been able to do

1162
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: that really at all this year, outside of maybe that

1163
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: Browns and Rams game. Yeah, Red, I'm glad you took this,

1164
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: so I don't always get accused of being the old

1165
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: man on the law of screaming for teams to run

1166
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: the football. But one of the things that happens because

1167
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: everyone talks about this is if playoff football, it doesn't change.

1168
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: When you look at playoff football, it becomes about situational control.

1169
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: It becomes about game management, and the running plays a

1170
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: part in that. Also, if your Brandon Sailor you're gonna

1171
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: talk about your team is a tough, physical, gritty team,

1172
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: you have to have a physical element to that, and

1173
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: that is that is displayed in the running game, defending

1174
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: it and also running and so they have to get

1175
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: better at that part of it. I'll say this, and

1176
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: it kind of goes back to a bigger thing when

1177
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: it comes to inexperience in these games in terms of

1178
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: how you win games or whatever. And so both you

1179
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: guys have pointed out things and situations that were critical,

1180
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: uh to the charges demise. But one thing that we

1181
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: have to talk about is in that situation Brandon State,

1182
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: they had thrown up a defensive masterpiece. The first half,

1183
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was completely confused, couldn't understand what was going on.

1184
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: The picture was changing, meaning it looked like they were

1185
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: playing man, but then at the snap they would go zone.

1186
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: It looked like they're playing zone, and they would do

1187
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: some matchup man to man stuff where they were switching

1188
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: off guys and taking care of all the things that

1189
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have been successfully able to do offensively. And

1190
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: then inexplicably in the second half, they stopped. They played

1191
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: like little toy soldiers on the perimeter in a cover

1192
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: to defense that looked like they're playing seven on seven.

1193
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: And what they did is they allowed Trevor Lawrence to

1194
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: get a rhythm. And so as much as coaching is

1195
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: about the tactics and schemes or whatever, but sometimes man

1196
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: if it ain't broke, don't fix it, Like, make the

1197
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: other team prove that they can defeat what you're doing

1198
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 1: on their the m and day, and if they can't,

1199
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: you walk away with the win. But sometimes changing for

1200
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: the sake of changing ultimately undermines it compromises your ability

1201
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: to win games. Yeah, and again another theme that we

1202
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, talked about the word poise. Joey Bosa

1203
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: completely lost his poise and you can look, you can

1204
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: attribute that you know, this is at least an overtime game,

1205
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: a least you're gonna get a shot here in overtime.

1206
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: But you put that ball on the one yard line.

1207
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson says he would not have gone for two

1208
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: if not for that penalty. But Joey Bosa slammed his

1209
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: helmet down and next thing, you know, that kick at

1210
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 1: the end of the game ends the game, doesn't send

1211
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: it overtime. So losing your poise something you cannot do.

1212
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: It's that play by play focus and that needs to

1213
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: be the case for everybody on the field as well

1214
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: as on the sideline. I think that was a lesson

1215
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: you can learn here from Super wild Card weekend. This

1216
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: has been a fun one. I hope you guys have

1217
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: enjoyed it again. We'll be back later this week. We're

1218
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: gonna start jumping into some draft talk. It's that time

1219
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: of year. Man, charges are done. I got nothing to

1220
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: do now but study draft guys, so we'll jump into that.

1221
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: Bucky still gotta keep working, man, keep those Jags going.

1222
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,799
