WEBVTT - The Audible Ep. 36 | Sylvester Williams 0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:10.720 All right, audibles, It's a victory Monday. John feels great. 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.239 It's been you know, two weeks back to back where 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:17.040 it's you're just kind of waking up miserable. Two weeks 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.520 it's brutal. I come over the game last week and 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.120 I see my dog. I'll get away from here. Dogs 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.759 years dropped down and stuff. But last night was able 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.720 to come home and pet him on the head and 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.960 feel good. But uh, well, I tell that was you know, 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.360 that was a dog fight out there yesterday, and and 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.320 and you kind of knew early on because you could 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.440 see because because you know, I was really happy when 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.559 I was really happy about what's the way the defense 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.600 came out and played from the get go. And I 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.600 knew they were embarrassed from the two weeks before. And 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.400 I knew that ten days off after that Thursday night game, 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.520 they had a lot of work to get done. And 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.120 and I've been in those situations. I've been on teams 0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:59.880 like you've been on teams like that, where you have 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.240 a bad loss or a couple of bad losses, and 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.119 sometimes you just need to kind of let's let's take 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.480 a step back, let's put this thing right back on 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.640 the tracks, and let's get back to what was helping 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.720 us but not lose games. And I think that's what 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.640 I saw from this defense yesterday. I can almost see 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.240 it from the end. And you know what, it struck me, 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.720 strow me. On the very first play they throw that 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.480 a little pass out t J m McDonald comes up 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:29.480 just stones knocked him backwards on that and left something 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.920 out about. And then they threw another little pass and 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.600 I think it was Kiko or somebody came up and 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.199 did the same thing, stop the guy dead in his tracks. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:37.840 And then they end up with a three and out 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.560 punt and I'm going, oh, that's that's what. And then 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.440 you just saw a defense that quite frankly as opposed 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.200 to what we've seen the last couple of weeks, John, 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.280 I think I don't think they did anything spectacular on defense, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.720 but they just did their jobs. You know, they know 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.800 there's something yeah, just do do because the scheme of 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.800 the defense relies on all eleven guys being in the 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.120 right spot and seeing the same thing. And at some point, 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.400 and as you mentioned, both of us were probably in 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.320 this situation. You watch film for a couple of weeks 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.120 after losses, you're embarrassed. I mean, not only for yourself, 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.880 but this is part of you know that his mistake 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.840 is my mistake, and and it brings the whole unit down. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.959 So I think you know, they took a good, long 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.360 hard look at what they were doing defensively, but more importantly, 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.360 the players took a long hard look at what they 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.800 were doing individually and said, this isn't good enough to 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.760 win in any league. You know, they couldn't win any anywhere. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.560 They were playing the last couple of weeks on defense, 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.200 the way that teams were gouging them on the ground. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.480 So I was happy to see the aggressiveness. Like you said, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.840 at the beginning the onset of the game, they were 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.480 going downhill. T J was around the line of scrimmage. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.000 He was the extra guy in the box. He was 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.280 destroying guys all day, led the team in tackles. But 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.680 most importantly, they were able to cause havoc in the pocket, 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.200 which turned out to give us some turnovers. Four sacks, 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.880 four interceptions. I mean, those are the types of weeks 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.040 that you dream about as a defense, And like you 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.200 said in the beginning, in that game, you knew it 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.320 was going to be the defense that was able to 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.520 create the most stops turned the football over was gonna 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:11.160 win because offense it was gonna be hard either. I mean, shoot, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.560 Sam Donald should have thrown six seven interceptions that day. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.120 you had a couple that were dropped. A couple of 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.120 drop had no doubt about it. Hey. This week's Audible 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.079 was presented by Deezer.

I have to do that for me, stepping 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.880 Wolf in there or something. Bockman, Turner over, driving, rolling 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.200 windows down right. Stuff.

Um but just it. Yeah, 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.800 you know, I hate the feeling of driving out of 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:33.560 that stadium after a win, so much different. You wave everybody, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.360 everybody that waves that, let people, let people go ahead 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:42.520 of me, this traffic, who cares a thumbs up? I mean, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.680 it's such a different feeling because you know, everybody's happy, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.840 the attendance, that work, that working hard rock. Everybody's kind 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.800 of I hope you enjoyed your day. You know. The 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.160 last couple of games are head down, dragging my bag 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.440 behind me, kicking the door as I go out. Yeah. Anyway, 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.359 let's you know the other thing Johnny is is And 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.400 you know, look, fans, you know you like what you like, 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.200 you don't like what you don't like this and that 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.839 or whatever. Um, but you know, I'm just happy for 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.479 these guys. I'm happy for this football team to get 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.320 And look, you know, the one thing you keep looking 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.799 at and everyone keeps wanting to bury this football team. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.760 You know, you guys lost two straight, you're three and 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.000 then you got two four and four, and you know, 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.200 you guys, are you guys are on the downwards slide. Well, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.000 this team has never been below five hundred. Team's never 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.160 been we've been at five hundred. But here we are 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.760 back at five and four. You're back in there. You know, 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.920 you go up to uh, you go up to Green Bay, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.320 and look, Green Bay is not gonna be an easy 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.280 situation by any stretching man. It's gonna be cold. You've 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.720 got a four start fame quarterback, even you got a 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.760 Hall of Fame quarterback, they're just coming off losses, two losses, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.000 and and so they're they're gonna be upsets. So it's 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:55.080 it's not gonna be an easy situation. But you know, 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.400 if you can if you can go up there somehow 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.000 and and and steal with because look, I think everyone 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.880 everyone when you if you did the ws and l's 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.480 and your and you look at Green Bay in November, 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.760 you know you probably put a loss in that one. Yeah, 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.400 that one's it was in sharpie, not in pencils in 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.919 the beginning of no doubt about it. But but we 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:16.440 gave one away to Detroit to Cincinnati. Detroit just beat 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.360 us Cincinnati. We gave one away to me. The Green 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.000 Bay is one of those games where you can steal 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.880 back and get even for the one you gave away 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.720 in Cincinnati. Well, if you can get that win, and 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.480 if you can get to win now you got a two. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.400 Now you're now you're two games above five, and you're 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.040 now you're saying, Okay, jeez, we got Buffalo twice and 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.080 were struggling football team. You got New England at home, 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:43.520 you got you got so there's some opportunities. So if 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.280 you can get a win and get to you know, 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.200 to to six and four moving forward with Buffalo coming 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.560 in after the bye week, you're saying, oh, you know, hey, okay, hey, 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.440 maybe let's let's let's get you know, but but but 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.280 but when you talk to people with jeez, what's wrong 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.200 with the Dolphins? I remember there're three and one. What's 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.320 wrong with the dogs? What's wrong at three and one? 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.560 You know, well, you're happy at that point and you're 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.719 facing a team, as you said in Green Bay, where 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.240 you know, it didn't look like an attractive game when 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.320 the schedule came out because you're looking at the time 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.840 of the year, you're looking at the caliber of players 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.560 and players and head coach and the whole atmosphere of 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.280 lambeau Field. But watching him against New England on Monday 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.440 Night Football. They suffered some significant injuries in that game, 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.600 and the blog went down. The linebacker went down, a 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.559 skill player went down. So you're looking at a team 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.720 that still has one of the best that ever played 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.400 the game and Aaron Rodgers, but they may be somewhat 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.720 depleted in terms of what they're gonna go into the 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.880 game with on a shorter week. So the chances of 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.680 Miami packing that defense the way they played on Sunday 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.280 at home, I don't think you're gonna have to depend on, 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.080 you know, four turnovers and four sacks, but they turn 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.040 the ball over four times. But they better pack a 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.960 more The better pack an offense that executes with more consistency, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.400 that stays on the field on third down, that can 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.640 finally make a play, you know, and not miss an 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.080 opportunity for touchdowns when they arise. Because if you miss 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.160 opportunities against Aaron Rodgers, you're always chasing. You're chasing the tail. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.240 You're chasing the tail all day. You know it's gonna 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.160 be come from behind. You can't do that. You can't 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.680 do that against the caliber player like that because there's 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.160 only about six or seven guys in the league that 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.760 you when you face those quarterbacks, you know that you 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.160 have to stay even or just a step ahead if 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.240 you can, to have a chance in the fourth quarter. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.440 And you look at you you look at those the 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.280 four sacks they got on Sam Donald. Sam Donald wasn't 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.400 going anywhere right. I'm watching that game last night and 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.920 and it how guys are grabbing him. They've got his 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.400 jersey and he's still getting away from getting out there 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.520 and throwing. And you know it's you know that the 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.800 thing with him. You know, there's a lot of quarterbacks 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.200 you can say, hey, look, if you don't get up 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.040 feeling contain, the quarterback will get out. This guy. It 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.800 don't matter wherever there's a crease in there, he's gonna 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.400 find find it. And by time, you know what, he's 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.120 got to come out through the front door and just 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.800 kind of get that line and you know, you just 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.760 get this vision. He's a nervous cat. But he's not 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.600 a nervous cat because he's smoking the cools as he's 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.200 doing it, okay, because he's moving around the pocket with 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.880 such calmness, but it looks frazzled. But he's got a 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.840 plan because he's anticipating the windows where he can get 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:21.880 and he only needs to split second to kind of 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.760 flick it down the field forty yards. So that's when 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.199 you look at Aaron Rodgers. He's got such a vivid 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.880 imagination of being able to predetermine what's going to happen 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.440 before it happens, but he doesn't force it. At the 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.200 same token, he's able to, you know, be relaxed and 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.040 find the open window and throw people open, which is 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.440 a great quality. But you know, the funny thing watching 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.719 that game was, boy, just a contrast of the two quarterbacks, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.120 especially when New England coming out up tempo bang bang 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.760 bang bang bang bang precision, and then all of a 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:58.240 sudden you get Green Band. It becomes you're just that slow, methodical. 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.000 And it's funny because I'm I didn't realize that. I 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.240 you know, I knew, but it's one of those things 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:03.960 you're kind of stuck in the back of your mind. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.120 So they're going, okay, you know, and they're showing the 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:07.920 coordinate and go oh in the corner Joe film like, 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.920 oh there you go. I see slow and methodical. I 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.120 see where slow and methodical came from for the Green 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.240 Bay Packers. I forgot out there as well, be honest 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.800 with you, and I'm going, jeez, man, look at green 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.360 look at look at New England. Bang bang bang bang bang, 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.280 just you know, putting the pressure on the line of scrimmage, 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.960 forcing the issue, not let them get Yeah, the one 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.959 play the guys, guys are bending over picking up their 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.600 mouthpiece and they weren't even me snapping the ball and 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.360 and they couldn't get you know, what was going on. 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.000 Then all of a sudden becomes you know, just said 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.760 it looked like a grind. It went from it went 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.839 from being in a in a drag strip when watching 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.959 like the Funny Cars go down to watching a tractor pool, 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.679 you know. And if they had played that game at Lambo, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.880 I think it would have been a completely different story. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.160 You know, it had been Green Bay that had the precision, 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.040 the aggressiveness, the tempo, and Brady would have had a 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.920 struggle getting first downs on some you know, certain drives. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.800 That being said about Aaron Rodgers though, this isn't the 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:09.160 Green Bay team that that that the dominant, dominant because 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.360 there's one guy dominating on that football team, and that's 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.720 that's number twelve, and that's it really for the most part, Well, 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.400 if you can create some pressure on Aaron Rodgers the 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.720 way his knees been, do you get a good, good 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.280 hit on him, if you can tackle me, and if 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.600 it's a successful play for green Bay, if you get 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.079 some hits and you start getting to the quarterback. Those 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.640 things were on a guy that has had some injuries. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.440 You know this season, we've I've seen it watching green 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.360 Bay play this year where teams you know, you tackle him, 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.679 he's slow to get up. He might not show at 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.880 the next play. But those things can kind of wear 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.000 on you. And I'll tell you what, Yes Yesterday's was 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.959 one of those Dames games where this team just scrapped 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.199 and and you know the good thing, Johnny and the 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.400 Jets made a couple of plays where they start threatening 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.520 you down there, but by the defense just you know, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.839 they eliminated the explosive plays. I mean, how many how 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.199 many plus twenty runs or US twenty passes that we've 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.360 seen over the last two three weeks on this defense. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.280 I mean, the Jets had a couple, but it wasn't 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.439 like it was backbreaking, It wasn't like it was demoralizing. 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.880 You always felt like this defense was gonna find a 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.199 way off the field on third down, and we got 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.599 back to the formula John, and you know, for the 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.960 last few weeks we've had to talk about you know, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:23.640 early on, it was all about the defense, turnovers, takeaways. 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.920 I think at one point we had fourteen. It was 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.800 huge goal line stops, you know, and you had a 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.640 couple of yesterday, you know, in those kind of things, 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:35.360 and you're kind of looking at that deep but then 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.720 and then you got away from that and it was, well, 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.800 what happened that defense? That was you know, it was 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.040 turning the football over, you know, you know, intercepting passes 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.680 and stuff as well. To me, it was pretty simple. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.880 You're not getting the pressure up front that you were getting. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.520 And when you go back to those when you go 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.360 back those early games when they were getting a lot, 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.880 it was because they were getting pressure up front. Quarterbacks 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.400 were having to get It was complimentary football. It was 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.480 exactly what you want. The defensive line said the tone. 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.080 They limited the time in the pocket, which helped the 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:07.280 linebacking corps in coverage, which ultimately helped a secondary, you know, 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.079 have a step tighter coverage and if you're off as 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.600 a quarterback just by you know, maybe a yard or two. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.280 The guys were in position to make plays on the football, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.880 and yesterday it was exactly that. And the good thing 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.880 about yesterday bow we had edge pressure, but we had 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.400 pressure in the middle. There was nowhere for Sam Donald 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.240 to step up and feel comfortable throwing the foot pocket 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.559 in that pocket feel like a shrink wrap to him, 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.920 because it just kept compressing on him until sometimes you 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.439 could kind of you see an arm kind of come 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.320 up and and throw the ball, and you know, but 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.520 but again and and that kind of leads back to 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.520 you know where we're talking about. In the last couple 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.400 of weeks. Geez, you know you're not getting any sacks. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.679 You're you're not getting turnover as well. You know, I'm 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.440 waiting for some grey. We'll put two and two together. Well, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.640 there they go hand and got them both. You gotta 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.680 get You really have to have one to get the other. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.080 You know, either you've got dbs that are they're playing 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.160 so well back there that that it gives you time 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.920 for your defensive line to to get the sacks. But 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.080 I'm with coach Gay when someone's talking about it goes, look, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.160 you don't need to you don't need to have a 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.040 sack in order for a rush to be effective, and 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:11.959 there was a lot You have the four sacks yesterday, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.680 which you also you have to get a lot of pressure. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.960 Rushes that didn't didn't create didn't turn into sacks, but 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.160 they turned into on the other side. So you know, 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.840 there there's there's different ways of getting it done, and 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.760 they got it done in both ways. Yesterday. I was 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.920 really I was really happy the way the defense played 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.880 along the line of scrimmage because that was the first 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.160 time in a long time that they were able to 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.040 push an offensive line in the backfield. They were able 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.560 to be able to get penetration number one and number 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.480 two finish. You know, it's it's one thing to get pressure, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.040 but they are able to finish. You have to be 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.360 able to finish a couple of times to get an 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.920 opposing offense in second and sixteen, in third and eleven. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.720 You know, have those situations be in your favor instead 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.760 of always being at third and four or less or 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.640 third and six and less. I think that's why the 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.280 Jets were two of thirteen. Now on the flip side, 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.400 the Dolphins three of sixteen on third down. Thank goodness, 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.160 they were able to make enough plays and Frank Gore 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.040 was able to you know, push the running game a 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.480 little bit, and you know his accolades, you know, stand 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.840 on their own. You know, Well that's that's what's my 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.400 next step is. Okay, you know we we know this 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.880 game was one on the on the heels of a 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.240 defensive effort that was outstanding. Yesterday, I'm Kiko was all 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.560 over the field again. Um, guys just playing playing well 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.160 out there, you know. And I think Bobby McCain is 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.560 naturally every week he plays, you start to see him 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.720 being back the guy. Look before you, guy, you know, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.360 you make a great point, But look at the way 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.280 Cam Waite came back from injury. Took him a couple 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:38.800 of weeks. It always takes a cut. You know, he's 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.400 not gonna be you're coming back when they're and you 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.120 gotta work your way back in Cam when he gets 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.520 on a role. Throughout his career, it's always been in spurts. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.000 You know, once he has those one or two sacks, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.480 then he's gonna have another sack and he's gonna have 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.680 more pressures than he's gonna have a couple of tackles 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.880 for loss. Those the way that in his career, that's 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.280 the way it's gone. And for Bobby McCain, I think 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.560 it's gonna be the same thing. I think he's feeling. Now, Hey, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.120 I'm closer to a right now, I can make that 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.280 play on the football and not lose my feet and 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.480 not be on the ground and and be able to 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.840 make the smart play that that the aggressive the you 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.720 know that that quick twitch movement is closer to be 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:18.040 in there now. So we're all kind of we're all 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.240 kind of on board on the defense, kind of kind 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:26.440 of control. Yes. Now the question is offensively, this is 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.160 is it's it's it's not enough. It's it's not hundred 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.080 sixty four hundred sixty eight total yards of offense. Um. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.800 You you can do that against the Jets. You can 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.120 you may be able to do that against Buffalo. You 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.360 ain't doing that against Green Bay. No, the baby diaper 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.640 is not going to pass on the road. So somebody 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.640 way and you had Juwan go down and and you 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.160 look grageously kind of fought back, got back into the game. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.960 Then Tuncil goes down. Um, I mean just think of 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.360 the offensive line. Number one, the guys that we brought 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.080 in in the off season, both on I are you know, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.840 you've got Travis wantson. He's doing he just job job 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.120 in the middle. You know, you've got Ted Larson, who 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.919 was supposed to be the spot guy. You know, he 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.240 was supposed to come in and ten eleven plays a 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.439 game and be able to bounce back and forth from 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.680 either side. He's a starter. And you know, you gotta 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.200 feel bad for Zach because he comes into the game. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.040 He's on the right side to begin with, then he's 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.159 on the left side. But that's his job, you know. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.000 But that's his job. He's gotta be able. He'll be 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.320 better for it the next opportunity if there is an 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.000 opportunity to get in there and and look tough position 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.959 to go in. But that that's the situation. Uh, they 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:31.960 only have two guys active on that on that on 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.600 that offensive line was it was Stirrup and it was 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:39.560 Brendel who just became outside. Jay can't go outside. And 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.680 you've got Jesse Davis who has been probably one of 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.480 the more consistent guys in there. And are some guys 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.440 you're gonna kick Jesse out there, so you're gonna weaken 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.280 two positions. We leave him where he is and get 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.680 your guy. But what surprised me John was how long 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:58.040 it took them to give stir Up any help. You know, 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.800 you put him out chair tight end and and and 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.040 he gets beat three times up the out and then 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.560 finally see him getting chipped. You know, like you know, 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.600 I think everybody, everybody, everybody in the field that kind 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.560 of knows football, everyone in the stadium was going to 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.320 as soon as he goes in there, I go, you 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.000 put a tight in over you put it because he 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.160 needs help. I don't care what he needs help. And 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.159 it took him a while, It took him. Jordan Jenkins 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.720 getting to the quarterback when Hans right down and got 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.679 right around the edge and and sax Brock Austwiler, that 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.960 was the wake up call. Yeah, it just surprised me 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.399 that it took that long to to to make that 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.880 adjustment out there. But you know, now you've got another 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.600 week where you know, I don't you know, I know, 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.720 Tunzil and uh Jan and Joan we're going in for 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.840 m R. S early in the week on Monday, and 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:48.760 so you know, we won't know the later in the 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.560 week what's gonna happen with them. But boy, if you 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.679 don't have one of those guys for that game, now, 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.960 now that even compounds your your problems on offense, and 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.720 you need to find a way to resolve. Anytime you 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.880 go on the road. The first thing you worry about 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:04.840 his snap count. The first thing you worry about is 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.600
