We'll get 14 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: into all of it. You'll hear from coach Tefanski. There's 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: two things to look at. Some of the things that 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: resulted in the loss are obviously negative things that have 17 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 2: been continuing to be a problem all season long. But 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: I do think that the headliner, and I'm in a 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: relatively good mood on a Monday, is the play of 20 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 2: the quarterback and Shadour Sanders week to week to week 21 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: has gotten better and better and better. And what he 22 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: was in the when he was thrust into action with 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: the injury to Dylan all that time ago to what 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: he is now or two completely different things. It's remarkable 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: to watch what he just picks up week to week 26 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: now it's been early's there's some stuff you want back. 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: You can't just throw it into the middle of the field, obviously, 28 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: and on a second down that leads to an interception. 29 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: But as we have said, and folks, if you go 30 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: back to January and February when z did the breakdown, 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: he is one of the best natural throwers of the football. 32 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: He was one of the best natural throwers of football 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: in this draft, probably the best natural throw the football 34 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: in this draft. We talked about it in July and August. 35 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 2: His ability to layer throws in coverage, to his touch 36 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 2: on the deep and intermediate balls, they're all elite. All 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: of those things are elite, and so you don't get 38 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: the result that you want. There's a million things to 39 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: pick apart. But I do think when we go back 40 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: to the shows that we had last week, and I 41 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: asked you and Hoff and I said, well, what do 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: you need to see that what do you want to 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: be accomplished here the last month? Because you know you're 44 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: not making the postseason, and all we need to know. 45 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: What's the most critical thing to know is the same 46 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: thing that was critical to know in July. Do we 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 2: have an answer at quarterback? 48 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 3: Yep? That's it. 49 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: Yep. 50 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 5: And you know, Shador was a guy that based on 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 5: the tape alone, I wanted to take him at two. 52 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: I mean that was well documented. To go back listen 53 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 3: to any of it. 54 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 5: Now, I didn't know all the other things that led 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 5: to him, you know, falling a little bit in the draft. 56 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 3: But what I do know is. 57 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 5: You got a guy here who can absolutely make any 58 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 5: throw and who's getting better week to week. After the 59 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 5: Ravens game, it was like, all right, we can't be 60 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 5: running out of the back of the pocket and taking 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 5: those bad sex. Guess what he's he's pretty much eliminated that. 62 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 5: Coming off of that Niners game, it was we need 63 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 5: you to be able to rip the ball more into 64 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 5: the middle of the field, be confident when it's there 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 5: in the middle of the field. Well, in the middle 66 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 5: of the field in this game, and in the middle 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 5: of field intermediate I'm sorry, not depth. 68 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: I want the middle. 69 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 5: He goes three for three for sixty one at the 70 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 5: line of scrimmage eight for eleven for one oh two 71 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 5: with a one oh one hundred and one point three rating. 72 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: From zero to nine yards in the air and from 73 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 5: ten to nineteen in the air he goes three to 74 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: five for ninety seven and a touchdown and rating of 75 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 5: one forty three point eight. So they really wanted him 76 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 5: to focus on that, and he did that. And what 77 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 5: you're seeing as a kid that works really really hard 78 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 5: because he clearly does, because he is able to take 79 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 5: something each week that's kind of like the point of 80 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 5: emphasis and then take it to the field. And this 81 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 5: is a Titans team. This wasn't a slouch defense. Like, no, 82 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 5: this is not a bit, this was not a tear. 83 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 5: This is like this was the bottom of the league 84 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 5: defense at all. And they have good pass rush. He 85 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 5: was under pressure on sixty four percent of his dropbacks. 86 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 5: One of the things I always talk about is when 87 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 5: you know a quarterback's making progress, it's what do they 88 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 5: do from clean pockets? Now, he handled the blitz and 89 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 5: he handled I'm sorry, he handled their pressure well. 90 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: He handled the blitz well. 91 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 5: But when he was kept clean in this game, eleven 92 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: of fifteen one hundred and seventy one yards two touchdowns 93 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 5: a rate yards perttempt of eleven point four in a 94 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 5: rating of one fifty point three. He's making big time throws. 95 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 5: He is working, as I said, the middle of the 96 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 5: field effectively from ten to nineteen. That's where quarterbacks, you know, 97 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 5: really kind of stand out. He goes thirteen point forty 98 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 5: yards and attempt one hundred and forty rating. I was 99 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 5: very impressed by him. I came out of this game 100 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 5: thinking that, you know what, obviously wanted to win it badly, 101 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 5: But if you weren't gonna win, and you could come 102 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 5: out of a game with this type of a performance, 103 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 5: it's awesome. 104 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: So we said at the beginning of. 105 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 5: The year, right that this is a lottery ticket, and 106 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 5: I'm thinking of a lottery ticket. I'm thinking of a 107 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 5: scratch off where you got to get three of a kind. 108 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 6: I like it. 109 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like we've got two of them scratch 110 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 5: And now we scratched the upper left corner of the third, 111 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 5: and it looks like it could be there. It looks like, man, 112 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 5: that's kind of the same pattern as those other two. 113 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 5: Oh baby, But yep, we're not gonna be able to 114 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 5: scratch it off till we see I think that the 115 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 5: final four, and if I think, if he plays well, 116 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 5: you're talking about a Chicago team that's gonna be coming 117 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 5: off of a loss in Lambeau, that's playing fighting for 118 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 5: their playoff lives. 119 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: They went from the one to the seven. Yep, by 120 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: losing that game. 121 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 5: You're talking about a Bills team that's gonna be fighting 122 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 5: for its playoff life and a Steelers team fighting for 123 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 5: its playoff life those next three games. If he can 124 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 5: continue to improve, and there are gonna be mistakes, Look, 125 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 5: you try to do too much on the interception, no question, 126 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 5: but his ball placement, his recognition. I thought the quickness 127 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 5: of the decisions that he made were significantly better, and 128 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 5: I thought he played well. I mean, listen what I'm 129 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 5: about to say right now. This isn't these are I'm 130 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 5: going to just facts. Facts. This is only the second 131 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 5: rookie quarterback game since nineteen seventy with three hundred and 132 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 5: fifty passing yards, three touchdowns one rushing touchdown in a 133 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 5: single game. It's only one other time Joe Burrow Week 134 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 5: seven for cincinnat against US. That was the Bake the 135 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 5: Donovan People's job walkoff. He also lost that game, which 136 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 5: is ironic. He's the only quarterback in twenty twenty five 137 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 5: to lose a game in which he had three fifty 138 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 5: four touchdowns and fewer than two interceptions. He also became 139 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 5: the first Browns quarterback to ever do this three hundred 140 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 5: and fifty pass yards, three passing touchdowns, and one rushing 141 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 5: touchdown a game, and he joined Aaron Rodgers as the 142 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 5: only other quarterback since the year two thousand to have 143 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 5: four completions of more than fifty yards in their first 144 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 5: three career starts. 145 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: That is the biggest differentiator, and he's in this sense, 146 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: he plays it much more similarly to the way that 147 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: Flacco and Jamis played it than the way that Dylan 148 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: played it. He wants to take shots and his eyes 149 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: are downfield, and if you don't give up on routes, 150 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: and we were early in the season, we had a 151 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 2: couple of guys give up on routes and it's like, 152 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: oh no, he's throwing it like that's it opens the 153 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 2: field up. Now, we weren't able to run it worth 154 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: a lick yesterday as as we were pretty much. 155 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: That's a big problem. 156 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, let's say positively noise. But his ability 157 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: to to keep plays alive by time in the pocket 158 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: and then his willingness to rip it deep is I mean, 159 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 2: it's fun. 160 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: It's fun. 161 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: And I just think like where he's come from that 162 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: last preseason game to where he was in September and October, 163 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: to where he was in his very first action after 164 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: Dylan went down, to where he was in his first 165 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: two starts, to now every single time he gets on 166 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: the field, it's a little bit better. But it took 167 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: him getting to that point and being able to do it. 168 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: And now he's there and now Kevin today and we'll 169 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: let the full presser for you here in a second, 170 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: Kevin Today saying he's the starting quarterback for the rest 171 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: of the way. And this goes back to a conversation 172 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: that we had all the way back in July that 173 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: at the time it was picked until you'd seen enough, 174 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: and then it was Gabriel, tell you'd seen enough, and 175 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: then it was Sanders until you'd seen enough. 176 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: And the reality is that we want to see more 177 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: of twelve. 178 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 5: He was the one guy that we thought, even if 179 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 5: you go again, that had the upside to be that guy. Yes, 180 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 5: he had the upside to be that guy. Now, if 181 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 5: you remember the Steelers game. Dylan Gabriel got hit seventeen 182 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 5: times in that game, and that was the most quarterback 183 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 5: had gotten hit in the season. Sure got hit fourteen 184 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 5: times yesterday. And the other thing, this is what impressed me, 185 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 5: maybe more than anything. You go back and look at 186 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 5: some of the big, big time throws, the one to 187 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 5: fan Enough, the right sideline, the touchdown to Judy, some 188 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 5: of the other big throws that he made in this game. 189 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 5: He is willing to stare down the barrel. That was 190 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 5: something from me. I went back and look at my 191 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 5: notes and I said that in my notes from Colorado 192 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 5: he will stare down the barrel and throw the football 193 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 5: knowings he get creamed. And he did it and was 194 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 5: still able to make some great throws, I thought, And I, 195 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 5: like cam Ward, thought he looked every bit as good. 196 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 5: I actually thought he looked better than cam Ward in 197 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 5: this game. Now, Kim Warden has a war supporting cast 198 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 5: significantly so, and he made some big time throws in 199 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 5: this game as well. But it certainly looked like and 200 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 5: let's not forget Kim Wards started the whole season. Yeah, 201 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 5: you know, Shador has made such strides and this was 202 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 5: one where like at the end, he kind of had 203 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 5: to let it rip, and he leads a touchdown drive 204 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 5: for you, a sixty yard drive followed by an eighty 205 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 5: yard drive to get you to within eight and then 206 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 5: unfortunately not we didn't get those two point conversions. But 207 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 5: he he did everything you needed him to do in 208 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 5: those in this game, and he yes, the interception was bad. 209 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 5: It led directly to points for them. But he was 210 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: certainly a bigger piece of potentially winning this football game 211 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 5: than he was not. 212 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: He was he was. He should have gotten a win here. 213 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: He deserved to win here. 214 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 5: It was an uncharacteristic defensive performance, especially on the ground. 215 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 5: The run defense was stunning, and then special teams again 216 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 5: had a couple of catastrophic plays that I. 217 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: Mean, their very first possession started at the fifty. Well, yeah, 218 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,359 Speaker 3: on the in the league, and. 219 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 5: I thought we were gonna kick it out of the 220 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 5: ends on the whole game, and we kick it right 221 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 5: to him, and then we kick it out of the 222 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 5: ends on the rest of the game. 223 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 3: Which final involved to thirty five. Yeah. 224 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, it's funny you were talking about 225 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 2: as you're talking about him staring down the barrel. I 226 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: remember all the conversations we had about him in January 227 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 2: and February, about his toughness and about how he never 228 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 2: blamed teammates, how he always got up. And I remember 229 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: us talking about how their offensive line at Colorado was 230 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: weak and the at best they were disinterested in running 231 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: the football, at best disinterested. We're not disinterested in running 232 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: the football. We're just ineffective at it right now. But 233 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: at the same time, it's very similar, Like that game 234 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 2: yesterday was very similar to a lot of the games 235 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: he played at Colorado, and that I watched him play 236 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: a lot at Colorado, And what he did was he 237 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: bought time. He kept his eyes downfield. He loves to 238 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: redirect routes and point in directions, go to the open space. 239 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: If our receivers getting into the habit of now you 240 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: got to do stuff on you're gonna have to do 241 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 2: stuff on schedule to win in this league. But that's 242 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: what that's his clean pocket. But that's his clean pocket, 243 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 2: that's where that is. And the rest of it is 244 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: him pushing people and making plays downfield. He keeps his 245 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: eyes up, he doesn't he doesn't panic when it's not 246 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: there right away. 247 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 3: He keeps his eyes up. 248 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: He buys time, It's so incredible how he went from 249 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: he had this habit of just retreating from the pocket. 250 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: Now he's climbing the pocket. Yes, like he's come a 251 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: long way in a month, man, a long way. 252 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, really cool. 253 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 5: So looking at my notes from you know, Nebraska was 254 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 5: not one of his better games, but just the toughness 255 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 5: of willingness to stand in there, and I have that 256 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 5: on so many of these from from the various games 257 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 5: that I watched. But basically I just was like, tough, 258 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 5: We'll hang in the pocket, take hits to deliver the football. 259 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 5: A just note just kept popping up, popping up as well, 260 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 5: and it was really just that's what you saw right there. 261 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 5: You've got listen, this league is about one thing, and 262 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 5: for the most part, it's about one thing only. You've 263 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 5: got to have a quarterback. And right now what you've 264 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 5: got is hope. You've got hope that Shador Sanders, who 265 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 5: is now going to be your quarterback for the rest 266 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 5: of the season, who needed time to develop, got that time, 267 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: put an extra work with the Fancy's the fancy put 268 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 5: an extra work with him. He's worked so hard and 269 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 5: now here he goes and now he's going to be 270 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 5: the start of the rest away against four teams. 271 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 3: Now, the Bengals. 272 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 5: Probably are out of it, I would imagine by the 273 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 5: time we get there. But next three is okay, show it, 274 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 5: show it, Like to me, if he wins one of 275 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 5: those three games, even if we don't end up winning, 276 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 5: because in this game, we want if he keeps playing 277 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 5: well over the next three games, in particular, even if 278 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 5: it's two good, one bad. I'm going into next year 279 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 5: with him because we have such needs at wide receiver 280 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 5: and tackle that those draft picks are very valuable to us. Yes, 281 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 5: and so I don't want to be in a situation 282 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 5: where we're gonna have to spend multiple again. 283 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: On a car. 284 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 2: Like let the upside's there. Everybody can see it. There's 285 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 2: no doubt it is. And like this is just me 286 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 2: talking obviously the organization. You want to win every game 287 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: you play. I am not that concerned about wins and 288 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: losses right now. 289 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 6: Now. 290 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: I wasn't at the stadium, and I didn't pay my money, 291 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: and I didn't sit in the col and I didn't 292 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: do all that stuff. Because those folks want wins and losses. 293 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: They want wins. And we'll get into why that. The 294 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: wins didn't occur in a second because we're having glasses, 295 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: have full conversation right now. But to me, all that 296 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 2: matters in the next three especially is if he plays well. 297 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: That's that's all that matters to me. And I hope 298 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: Miles gets a sack record, and of course I want 299 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: us to win. But at the same time, if he 300 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 2: plays well and keeps making these type of improvements, and 301 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 2: then you get to a point where you can do 302 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: what you just said, and that is a lottery ticket 303 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 2: as big as you can win. Use your analogy. That's 304 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: the full scratch off. Pay it in, give me my money, 305 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: and now we don't have to address quarterback in the offseason. 306 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 3: That's a home run, by the way, and. 307 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 5: He took the natural progression that a fifth round pick 308 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 5: would take through this thing. 309 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 3: He did. 310 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 5: Imagine though, what he's been able to do, we've seen 311 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 5: him be able to do in a few weeks when 312 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 5: next year, hopefully right everything is catered to him and 313 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 5: everything is set up for him, and he's getting every 314 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 5: single rep in the off season, every single rep in 315 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 5: training camp to be the guy. 316 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 3: And I like his upside and what he's shown. And 317 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: you talk to anybody in this building. 318 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 5: What he's shown is his commitment to getting better and 319 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 5: his like his work ethic towards it. It's one thing 320 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 5: to talk about it, he does it. And that's why 321 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 5: you're seeing him have this success. He's got unbelievable natural talent. 322 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: I mean, he was just looking right now again, is 323 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: at the notes like arm certainly good enough? And I 324 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 5: said that is he can make every NFL throw and 325 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 5: people are likely he didn't have an arm. 326 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 3: He can't now something. 327 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 5: That thing that we'd say is okay, sometimes on these 328 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 5: throws over the middle, like you still got to get 329 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 5: it in there, you know, some of those. There's one 330 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 5: that was a little bit he threw a little nonchalant 331 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 5: linebacker broken up. 332 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 3: It's a little dangerous. And there was one that he he. 333 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 5: Must not have seen Simmons and he just kind of 334 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 5: put it out there and Simmons almost like, oh, paught 335 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 5: it right out of the sky. 336 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: But that's okay. He's not supposed to be perfect right now. 337 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 5: What you're talking about is does he have the ability 338 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 5: to make the throws to every level of the field. 339 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 5: Does he have the ability to understand what he's seeing, 340 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 5: Does he have the ability to make plays in and 341 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 5: out of structure and right now, the answer is yes, 342 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 5: you want to see more of it. You want to 343 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 5: see consistency with it. You want to be something you 344 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 5: can rely on weekend and week out. But I'll tell 345 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 5: you what this was from a Brown's standpoint, this was 346 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: a very positive outcome. There are things that were not positive, 347 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 5: and we kind of hinted at some of them and 348 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: we will get there. But at the end of the day, 349 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 5: this is a very positive outcome because you feel, I 350 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 5: feel significantly closer to being able to say, you know what, 351 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: maybe we've got this quarterback and guess what, he'd be 352 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 5: on a fifth round contract for. 353 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 3: Three more years. 354 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 5: That gives you, like a serious window, especially starting in 355 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 5: twenty seven as were able to get some more space, 356 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 5: like to put a super team with him. 357 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: It's a lottery, it's winning the it's party. Yes, I 358 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: mean that sort of allows you to do. It allows 359 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: you to butchers everything else, and we have some butcherssing 360 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: that needs to take place, all right. That was the 361 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: glasses half full should or played mostly great in this game. 362 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: The defense did not, and this is a defense that's 363 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: carried this offense all season long. Gave up a career 364 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: best one hundred and sixty one yards to Tony Pollard, 365 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: two long touchdown runs, a gash of sixty five, a 366 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: gash of thirty two. The Titans came into this week 367 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: ranked thirty first in rushing offense in terms of yards 368 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: per game. The Browns defense allowed one hundred and eighty 369 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: four single worst run defense of the season Week eleven 370 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 2: loss to the Ravens. They also allowed one hundred and 371 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: eighty four. We'll get to special teams in a second. 372 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: What did you make of, especially in the third quarter, 373 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,479 Speaker 2: just Tennessee's ability to go up and down the field. 374 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 5: Well, it's tough, and you know even for us, like 375 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 5: we had a little bit of a lull in that 376 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 5: third courter, and that's something that you know, we have 377 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 5: to keep trying to figure out here. You know, you 378 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 5: can't be Look, we scored plenty of points in this 379 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 5: game to win, enough to win, especially against Tennessee who 380 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 5: had not scored Tennessee every other game. If you had 381 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 5: scored twenty ninety win, yep, they hadn't scored that made 382 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 5: this was their most points of the year. You know, 383 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 5: Malie Collins was out. I don't know how much of 384 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 5: an impact that had. They seemed to do some running 385 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 5: that took advantage of, like our aggressiveness up the field 386 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 5: and was creating kind of big voids as a result 387 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 5: of that. You know, Pollard's long run on the season 388 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 5: was twenty one yards. This was his long run on 389 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 5: the season, and he had a touchdown run in the 390 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 5: sixties and another one that was almost forty. I mean, 391 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 5: it just wasn't unfortunately, it wasn't great. It wasn't great. 392 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 5: You know, we did a better job on third down. Offensively, 393 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 5: we did a better job. We have six point four 394 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 5: yards of Everything about what we did offensively was winning football, 395 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 5: I mean everything about it. 396 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: We just we got. 397 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 5: Gashed a little bit on the ground to give five 398 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 5: point three yards to carry, which is a stunner. 399 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: Know it's a stunner. 400 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 5: They hadn't scored on an opening drive in fifteen straight games. 401 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 5: Had the Titans. They scored on the opening drive. We 402 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 5: gave up you know, those those runs. We give a 403 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 5: couple of third down conversions early. I think they started 404 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 5: the game three to four. Now they ended it six 405 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 5: of seventeen, which was much more in line with what 406 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 5: we've been doing. But I don't know how we gave 407 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 5: up that many points. I mean we had a short 408 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 5: had they had a stretch in the second in the 409 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 5: second half where they scored seventeen points on three possessions 410 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 5: that totaled fifty yards, just over fifty yards. So that's 411 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 5: the interception by Shador and then they go from that. 412 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 3: They go two plays thirty eight yards touchdown the long run. 413 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 5: Then they go three plays eight yards after the Dylan 414 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 5: Samson fumble and they get a touchdown. And then they 415 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 5: go four plays six yards and get a field goal 416 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 5: after the block punt. And I know we're going to 417 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 5: talk about the two pointers and all of those things, 418 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 5: and everybody can all the things that can be debated there, 419 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: you're not even thinking about those. Those aren't even relevant 420 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 5: if you don't have a blocked punt that leads directly 421 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 5: to three points. Another special teams just massive, massive miscue. 422 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 5: And that guy could have like sat down out a 423 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 5: bowl of ramen and then still blocked the punt. It 424 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 5: was just I mean he had to slow down to 425 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 5: not overrun it. He was in there so quick because 426 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 5: he was unblocked. So that's frustrating because then all the 427 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 5: stuff that now is the big debate is the two 428 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 5: point conversions and why did we do that? And Gibbe 429 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 5: hates it amongst the med great with the other people, 430 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 5: and why did you know why wasn't Shure on the 431 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 5: field for the last two point conversion, which is a 432 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 5: fair question, as hot as he was leading the team down, 433 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 5: it's a fair question. You watch the All twenty two 434 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 5: and you know that if Quinn Shawn had get getting 435 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 5: that ball into the hands of Gage larvad Ann as 436 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 5: it was designed so. 437 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: We'd never run the reverse off of the wildcat. Now, yeah, 438 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: that's why they were going to do it, is we'd 439 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 2: run the wildcat a bunch of times, had been wildly 440 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: successful for us. Kevin didn't say this, This is me 441 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 2: saying it. Yeah, I mean, that's just what's happened. We'd 442 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: run it about it. This was the one time we're 443 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 2: going to counter off of it. We're going to pivot 444 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 2: off of it because we'd never even shown it. And 445 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: if you watch on the ultimate there's nobody over there. 446 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 3: Nope. 447 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 2: And now, if you want to be critical of a 448 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 2: rookie going to in larvad Ann and everybody who was 449 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 2: involved in it, I guess this far into the season 450 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: Kevin's not going to bury anybody. He's I'm going to 451 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: bury a player. He's I'm going to bury Quinchean. And 452 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 2: so you know, he took it because that's his job 453 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: as a head coach to do it. But that was 454 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 2: the thinking behind it on the fourteen point thing. 455 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, don't shoot the master. Everybody gets so emotional about this. Okay, 456 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 5: every team in the NFL, Ravens Eagles, who have a 457 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 5: very good analytics department, they're the ringing super Bowl champions 458 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 5: all the day, they all they all do it. 459 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: I mean, the whole. 460 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 2: League does it done honestly. And the reason that you 461 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 2: do it is because then you can win the football game. 462 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: And we saw the Denver Broncos. This happened earlier in 463 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: the season. The Broncos won a football game doing this. 464 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: If you get that two pointer, then you win it 465 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: with an extra point and it's over. That's the thinking 466 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: behind it. And then you know, and by the way, 467 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: you haven't lost. If you don't get it, you if 468 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 2: you're gonna go for it twice, if you have to, 469 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: you you can go for it twice. So even if 470 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 2: you don't get the first one, you still have to 471 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: get the second one. The odds are you're gonna get 472 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: one of them, because what's the two point conversion rate 473 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: in the league. 474 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 3: I'm over fifty, over fifty. Here's that's the point. 475 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 5: Again, this is just the theory behind it. Okay, and 476 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 5: I'm gonna use these aren't actual numbers, but this is 477 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 5: directionally correct. So let's say when you get you score 478 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 5: the touchdown, you're now down eight. The second you score 479 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 5: that touchdown, let's say at that point you have a 480 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 5: forty percent win probability. 481 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: Okay, if you. 482 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 5: Kick the extra point, let's say that goes up to 483 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 5: forty five or fifty percent. Okay, this is just and 484 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 5: you're down, and so these numbers are not right, but 485 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 5: this is just the directional you miss it, you stay 486 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 5: at forty because you're you go for two and don't 487 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 5: get it because that's. 488 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: Where you're at prior to that. 489 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 5: But if you get at it, your win probability jumps 490 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 5: up much more than the win probability goes down from 491 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 5: not getting it. Yeah, and that's why they do it, 492 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 5: because if you do hit this, if you hit this, 493 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 5: that is now you have a significant let's call it 494 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 5: sixty five percent, right, So your probabilities jump up significantly, 495 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: so it's a small risk in terms of win probability 496 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 5: negative for a big gain in win probability. Now, again, 497 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 5: games aren't played on computers. These are just models. I 498 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 5: understand all of that, and I get why people are 499 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 5: emotional about it. This isn't the same as being down 500 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 5: fifteen and going for the two first, which again I 501 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 5: understand because you want the information as quickly as possible. 502 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 5: But I think there is there is just a human 503 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 5: effect when you fail that because now it's a two 504 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 5: position game. 505 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 3: That's not the case in this one. No, it's still one. 506 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 3: It's still one. 507 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 5: And by the way, had you've gotten the first one, 508 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 5: now you're going down in your kicking exploint. We did 509 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 5: it against the Giants last year. We didn't go on 510 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 5: to win that game, but we did it against the 511 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 5: Giants and got it and put ourselves in that position. 512 00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 5: We'll me had a problem with it if he gets 513 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 5: if we convert the first one, you know, we fumbled 514 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 5: that samp we aren't going to get to see that play, 515 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 5: and then the other one we unfortunately batched them. You 516 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 5: could say, look, we're the better team, let's just go 517 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 5: to overtime. The longer this game goes on, we're the 518 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 5: better team. We should be, right. I get all of it. 519 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 5: It's just it's unfortunate that this is the way it 520 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 5: played out. Again, that's the logic behind it. I know 521 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 5: people who don't like it. I know plenty of people 522 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 5: don't like it and don't agree with it. 523 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: I get it. I really don't have a problem with it. 524 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: I don't either. At fourteen, I don't. I just think 525 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 3: that its sense. 526 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 2: So anybody who's kicking the extra points, if you're just 527 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 2: kicking the extra points. 528 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: And those aren't one hundred percent, they aren't. 529 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: But if you are asked, Ohio State. But if you 530 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: are picking kicking extra points and that's all you're doing, 531 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 2: you are essentially you're just playing for a tie. 532 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 3: Yep. 533 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: And so if you just want to play for a tie, 534 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: the odds are you're going to get one of the 535 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: two two point conversions. 536 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 3: Yes, in this case it was this case. 537 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: We didn't, but normal circumstances would say that you would 538 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: get one of them. Yeah, we didn't execute correctly on 539 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 2: either of them. No, and so it wasn't able to 540 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: come to fruition. But if you're just playing to tie, anyway, 541 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 2: then what's the difference, right? 542 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 5: The better to me going for the two Initially, Again, 543 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 5: I understand why people don't like it. I also understand 544 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 5: the logic behind it and what you're trying to accomplish 545 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 5: with it. I think the better question is, Okay, yeah, 546 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 5: we've done this wildcat, we're setting it up for this 547 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 5: moment to run this play off of it. But your 548 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 5: door is so hot, he's led you down the team, 549 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 5: you know, should he be on the field. That's kind 550 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 5: of the better question. The play, you know, when people 551 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 5: like like, oh, did you ever even run that in practice? 552 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 3: Jeez, come on, I'm gonna tell you something. 553 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 5: They every week you have maybe two maybe three two 554 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 5: point plays that you have in that are in for 555 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 5: that week, because how often does it come up? Not 556 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 5: all that often, but you have two or three and 557 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 5: for that week, they're run every Friday. That play was 558 00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 5: run on Friday. Obviously it worked on Friday, like these 559 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 5: are they knew going down? I guarantee they knew that 560 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 5: that was going to be the play that they were calling. 561 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 5: Now you can debate whether or not you agree with 562 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 5: that play call, and obviously the execution. 563 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 4: Of it was poor. 564 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 5: I think what I this is my interpretation of it. 565 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 5: This is not from no Scores. I think quin Shawn 566 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 5: was reading the corner because if the corner had run 567 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 5: with Gage, he probably could have kept it. And if 568 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 5: the corner stayed, I think it was supposed to go 569 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 5: to Gauge. This is just this is not no no inside. 570 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 5: This is just when I looked at the play what 571 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 5: seemed to be happening, and his eyes were on that 572 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 5: corner too long, so by the time he was like, oh, 573 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 5: he didn't go, he went to kind of you could 574 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 5: see on his face almost like oh no, oh no, 575 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 5: And now Gauge is like five yards past him, and 576 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 5: then it's it's a debacle, so super frustrating in the moment. 577 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 5: I think anybody who watches, and I know there have 578 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 5: been plenty of posts on here of the all twenty 579 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 5: two of it. If he gave the ball to Gauge, 580 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 5: he's he has games actually has options on that play. 581 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 5: But those options would look like they would have resulted 582 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 5: in a conversion. 583 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 3: It didn't. It was not executed. It was not executed well. 584 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 5: And by the way, if we got one of those 585 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 5: two two point conversions and weadys saying nobody cares anyway. No, 586 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 5: And if we had gotten the first one and then 587 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 5: kick the extra point there and we win by one, 588 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 5: people say it's genius. The outcomes matter though, because this 589 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 5: is a binary business yep, and so you know you're 590 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 5: not supposed to let outcomes. I always, I always give 591 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 5: the casino analogy. It is the right thing to double 592 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 5: down with an eleven against the dealer showing sick. It's 593 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 5: not a guarantee of win. And then they still take 594 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 5: your money. It's not like well write play. 595 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 3: As Fabreau and swingers. Yeah they still take it. 596 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: You always down, double down an eleven, baby, but not 597 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: in this instance. Snow Baby always always double down on eleven. Always, 598 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 2: So it's hit the bamboo louse, get some breakfast, and 599 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 2: head back to an airstream. 600 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 5: It's a bummer, but I take away from this Number 601 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 5: one Shador looks like he could be the answer that 602 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 5: we have needed for a very very long time. Number two, 603 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 5: Harold Fannon is a real real deal. 604 00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 3: Dude. 605 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 5: Just had the best rookie season by a Brown's best 606 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 5: rookie season by a Browns tight end ever. Just passed 607 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 5: Ozzie Smith for the most shaving yards in a season 608 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 5: by a Browns rookie tight end. So he's a real dude. 609 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 5: You've got dudes all over the place on defense, which 610 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 5: is great to see. And then you know, Miles gets 611 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 5: sacked twenty and three more tackles for a loss. So 612 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 5: now he's got twenty. Now that one could have gone 613 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 5: a half and a half, but he gets the hole. Yep, 614 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 5: he's at twenty. Now he's at thirty one on the 615 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 5: tackles for loss. So he has a chance to set 616 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 5: both records. 617 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, he has a chance of the best season by 618 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 2: a defensive player ever. 619 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 3: Ever, that's important. We've well, very interesting. 620 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 2: With all respect to Deacon Jones. This is the thing 621 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: that this is the big thing to me. It appears 622 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: that you have four lock stock NFL studs, borderline Pro 623 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: Bowl type players. Mason Graham feels like he can get there, 624 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 2: Carson Swestinger's already there, Harold Fannon looks like he's going 625 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: to get there, and Quinshawn Judkins looks like he's a 626 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl. 627 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 3: Type level player. We have got to help him out. 628 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 6: We do. 629 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: We're not give him a lot of he is and 630 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 2: but you see what happens if you just give him 631 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 2: a line of. 632 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 3: Scrimmage to break through. 633 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: So you have four and then potentially five, which is 634 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 2: with share, which is the big one, and that's what 635 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 2: that's a differentiator. But that those when I think about 636 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 2: what the games that fan has been having, especially when 637 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: he had yesterday, the season Swessenger has been having, Graham's 638 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 2: continued growth, Quinchewn has been there all year, yep. Stud 639 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 2: and now the share part of it, that's what allows 640 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: for a much much brighter future. And and while this 641 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: is not fun, and it's not, but there are some 642 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: young pieces here in this draft, these rookies who are 643 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 2: on their way and have have been really good players 644 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: all season for us. Some couple of injury updates for you. 645 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: Center Ethan posse Tour's achilles that sucks. He's out for 646 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: the rest of the season.

Here's your head coach, Kevin Stefanski. 666 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 7: All right injury front, Just an update. Ethan Posk will 667 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 7: be out for the season. 668 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 6: He's getting surgery. He tore his achilles. 669 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 7: So obviously feeling for Ethan. He's a huge part of 670 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 7: our team, of our offense. We've relied heavily on him, 671 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 7: having a veteran center in there. So disappointed for him, 672 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 7: but I know he will bounce back. He's got the 673 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 7: right attitude as you guys would imagine, but disappointed for 674 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 7: Ethan obviously that game doesn't go our way, and just 675 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 7: trying to talk through it with the team this morning 676 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 7: on the things that the other reasons for that and 677 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 7: the things that we can do better, the things that 678 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 7: we have to do better as a football team, offense, defense, 679 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 7: special teams, player, coaches, things that we have to improve 680 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 7: upon in games like that. So it's frustrating. We got 681 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 7: to learn from it, and then we'll move on to 682 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 7: Chicago with that. I'll take any questions, Yeah, Kevin. 683 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 8: Just wondering is should or Sanders your starter now for 684 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 8: the rest of the season. Yes, okay, and what is 685 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 8: your thinking behind that? 686 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 7: I think all along, Mary Kay, as you know, with 687 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 7: our quarterbacks and our young players, you're always making sure 688 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 7: that you're making the right decisions for our guys. And 689 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 7: I think he's he has constantly and consistently gotten better 690 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 7: in each one of these games, and how he's approached 691 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 7: this game. He's been working very hard, so I feel 692 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 7: good about where his development is heading. He knows there 693 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 7: there are always going to be plays that he can 694 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 7: be better and those type of things, but he's very 695 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 7: intentional about getting better each and every game he's out there. 696 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 8: Has anything surprised you about his development over these past 697 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 8: three starts? 698 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't. I don't know. Surprised is the word, 699 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 6: Mary Kay. 700 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 7: I think again, we've been around each other now, going 701 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 7: back to April, so I've seen constant improvement in a 702 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 7: bunch of areas. But I also saw in that game 703 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 7: some areas of improvement in some areas that we asked 704 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 7: him to prove upon. And I think that's you know, 705 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 7: the fun part of coaching is developing players and giving 706 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 7: them tools to improve in certain areas. 707 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 6: If you will. 708 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,719 Speaker 7: And I think the fun part is when you have 709 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 7: players like should do, or like our rookies whomever it 710 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 7: may be, that that are very intentional about their own 711 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 7: development as well. 712 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 9: Thank you, Yeah, Kevin. 713 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 10: I wanted to ask about the two point conversion philosophy. 714 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 10: I know that you guys use the probabilities and all 715 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 10: those type of things when making those particular decisions about 716 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 10: going for two. I guess my question is, like, you 717 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 10: guys have been doing this for a long time and 718 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 10: the wins and losses don't seem to be equating that. 719 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 10: My question is how much of game flow and thing 720 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 10: and that factor in and can they outwagh just the 721 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 10: probably you know, the probabilities of hey, you're down fourteen, 722 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 10: you just scored, go ahead and go for two, So 723 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 10: it informs you whether or not you should kick one 724 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 10: or two on that second touchdown. I just I'm trying 725 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 10: to understand, like the process and the philosophy there. What's 726 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 10: going for two with that first touchdown scored when you're 727 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 10: down working? 728 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think you understand the philosophy behind it. 729 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 7: I think I have to go into every game understanding 730 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 7: our team, their team, the matchups, the plays that we 731 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 7: have available to us, what do we like them? 732 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 6: Do we not? 733 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 7: Those are the type of decisions that factor into the game. 734 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 7: Obviously you take all that information in Darryl, as you know, 735 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 7: in all your decisions that you make, but ultimately you're 736 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 7: making decisions based on the game that you're playing and 737 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 7: what's in front of you. 738 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 10: And then just a you know, a question about Shador 739 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 10: and just his progress, similar what Mary Kay was asking, 740 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 10: the fact that you know he put up four touchdowns 741 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 10: and just his you know, third start versus what he 742 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 10: did in that first start at Las Vegas. Just how 743 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 10: pleasantly surprised are you with his progression in such a 744 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 10: short timeline, considering maybe how far he might have been 745 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 10: behind in training camp and maybe the first quarter of 746 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 10: the season. 747 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, again, not maybe the terms i'd use other than 748 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 7: tell you I've been really impressed by his work ethic 749 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 7: and that's going back to since the moment he got here. 750 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 7: That's what we've been striving to work with him and 751 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 7: with all of our guys. As you know, that's been 752 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 7: a huge area for us, is player development of all 753 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 7: of our players, and I think the guys when they 754 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 7: embrace it, that's the fun part where you get to 755 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 7: see these guys making strides. So he's still very early 756 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 7: in his career, and he would tell you the same. 757 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 7: You want to have constant, constant improvement and everything you're doing. 758 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 7: There's moments in these games that come up that are 759 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 7: hard to replicate in practice. You can talk through them 760 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,959 Speaker 7: on tape, you can talk through them and a walk through, 761 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 7: and then you get the rep in a game, and 762 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 7: that's the most valuable learning tool you can have. And 763 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 7: I think he will only take all of that and 764 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 7: use that to his development moving forward. 765 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 11: Hey, Kevin, a couple other injury questions. Do you have 766 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 11: an update on Denzel and David coming out of the game. 767 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 7: Yeah, no update other than to say what we'll see 768 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 7: how they are come Wednesday. 769 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 11: Jack still in the protocol? 770 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 4: Yes, why itt out this week? 771 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 6: Yes? Okay? 772 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 11: And then after you know, with time to reflect on it, 773 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 11: the idea of going with the hot hand, which you 774 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 11: dre on that last two point conversion, like, do you 775 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 11: have any second thoughts about it? I understand you know 776 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 11: why he went to the wildcat, but the fact that 777 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 11: he'd been playing so well does that make you think 778 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 11: twice about it? 779 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 10: Well? 780 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 7: Listen, when you come up short, like you do, you 781 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 7: think about everything and what you could do differently. Obviously, 782 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 7: when you get in those moments, you have the calls 783 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 7: ready to roll and plays that you've talked about pre 784 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 7: game and throughout the week, you know there are gonna 785 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 7: be times where, uh, you want to call back. There'll 786 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 7: be times where it's it's uh, you have success and 787 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 7: it didn't come off exactly how you wanted it. But 788 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 7: bottom line is, you know we didn't. We came up 789 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 7: short in both those tries. And that's where I have 790 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 7: to look at it and and say, are there things 791 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 7: that we can do better? And that's that's my job 792 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 7: to look at it constantly. 793 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 12: Hey, Kevin, I wanted to ask you about with Ethan out, 794 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 12: I'm assuming Luke is uh will be the starter against Chicago. Yes, 795 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 12: is there some benefit at least in the transition that 796 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 12: Shadora has worked a lot with Uh Luke over the 797 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 12: course of the off season and everything, you know, in 798 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 12: terms of that connection between the quarterback and center. 799 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I understand the question potentially, But I think those 800 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 7: guys all work really well together. You know, throughout this offseason, Chris, 801 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 7: They've all kind of gotten reps with different guys. So 802 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,959 Speaker 7: I think Luke's somebody that you know, when you're playing 803 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 7: that position, the center position, we put a lot on 804 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 7: your plate, and when you're working with Poe and your 805 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 7: Poe's backup, you really have to lock in and understand 806 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 7: all that. And Luke has worked very hard, so he's 807 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 7: done a nice job of making sure he's ready to 808 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 7: roll in any instance that we may need him. And 809 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 7: I think I'll be ready to roll in this one. 810 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 12: One last question then on shoudor in just his pocket 811 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 12: presence and you know how you know, one of the 812 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 12: issues that seemed like he had early on was drifting 813 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 12: a lot, you know, and drifting backwards. It seems like 814 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 12: he's doing a better job, more consistent job of staying 815 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 12: within the pocket, given out obviously when he needs to. 816 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 12: But just how have you seen him grow in that. 817 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 4: Regard in his game? 818 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 7: Yeah, That's definitely been an area of focus for him 819 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,760 Speaker 7: that I think he continues to improve. 820 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 6: I think there were multiple plays. 821 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 7: In that game where there was really good evidence of 822 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 7: really good footwork, footwork that you can coach off of 823 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 7: that you want to, you know, point out that this 824 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 7: is exactly the drill work, this is what you're working 825 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 7: on on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday's showing up here on Sunday. 826 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 13: Kevin, Hi, was it a mistake not to start Shu earlier? 827 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not going to get into those type of things, uh, Tony. 828 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 7: I'm obviously focused on what's in front of us. 829 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 13: And about the the second two point conversion. But Antonio 830 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 13: said after the game, you guys were repping that play 831 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 13: back in Philadelphia. I remember seeing it myself. But the 832 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 13: fact is Judkins was not with you in Philadelphia. So 833 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 13: did did he get reps Friday on that play? 834 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 7: How do you do we ran the play so you 835 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 7: know Tony. Bottom line is it's a We'll always look 836 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 7: at things that we can do better, but I. 837 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 6: Trust our guys. 838 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 7: We work hard during the week to rep plays that 839 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 7: we may play that you may show in the game. 840 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 6: But that was not the That was not the issue there. 841 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 14: Hey, Kevin, I had a question about the first two 842 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 14: point conversion attempt, So I guess following up on what 843 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 14: Chris was asking, was was there an issue with a 844 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 14: snap with Luke being in at that point and Ethan 845 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 14: having come out, and was there any confusion just on 846 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 14: the snap itself. 847 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 7: You had no confusion on the snap obviously. You know 848 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 7: center quarterback exchanges. You don't want them to show up 849 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 7: in a game like that. Those guys have had plenty 850 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 7: of reps together that you get reps before and after 851 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 7: a series those type of things. 852 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 6: So that was unfortunate for that to happen at that moment. 853 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,479 Speaker 14: And then like when the ball came out, it looked 854 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,479 Speaker 14: like kind of like multiple guys on both teams just 855 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 14: standing around for a second or two, like, was there 856 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 14: just confusion on like the rules. 857 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 6: Or what do you think? 858 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 7: We actually just watched the play on Friday from the 859 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 7: Miami New Orleans game, where there's an interception that went 860 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 7: back on a two point play, which you know is 861 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 7: a pick too, you get two points for it. So 862 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 7: we just looked at that. It appeared to me like 863 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 7: we touched him down. Now, we didn't look at it 864 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 7: any closer because the result was what it was. 865 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 6: But the guys know the rules there. 866 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 9: Hey, Kevin, I have two questions. A two years ago, 867 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 9: your special teams were really good. Well, why do you 868 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 9: think there have been so many issues this year? 869 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's something that we look at really week to week, Jeff, 870 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 7: on things that we can improve upon. Obviously disappointed in 871 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 7: yesterday and some of the things that happened yesterday that 872 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 7: can't happen. 873 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,280 Speaker 6: But that's something we look at every week. 874 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 9: And then your defense has been so good against the run. 875 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 9: What happened there yesterday? 876 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, like you said, we've we've been very good in 877 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 7: that area. 878 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,439 Speaker 6: It was uncharacteristic for us. We'll get back to work. 879 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:36,919 Speaker 10: Kevin. 880 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 15: Kind of off of that that run stop and defense question. 881 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 15: Obviously your first game without Malik Collins, was any of 882 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 15: that felt maybe the boss of him and trying to 883 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 15: as you said, you couldn't replace You can't replace him. 884 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 15: You just have to have guys step up for him, 885 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,919 Speaker 15: maybe the ramping up and getting them used to that 886 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 15: that kind. 887 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 7: Of role, you know, Cam, Obviously, Malik's a big part 888 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 7: of who we are and our success and you know, 889 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 7: our culture and all those things, so he's of course 890 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,919 Speaker 7: you're going to miss him, but we expect the guys 891 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 7: that are in there to. 892 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 15: Do their job and sticking on the defense, Alex right, 893 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 15: isaamh MacGuire able to go in that one. Did you 894 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 15: see them need to maybe ramp up a little bit 895 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 15: at coming back from their injuries and what are you 896 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 15: expecting from them in these last four I. 897 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 7: Thought there were some good moments from both those guys. Obviously, 898 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 7: when you're coming off injury, you're definitely only going to improve, 899 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 7: So I think they'll be even better next week. 900 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 16: Kevin, just on analytics in general, because I know everybody 901 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 16: uses the MALT throughout the league, now specially you guys. 902 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 16: How much do you balance the analytics and the numbers 903 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 16: over maybe having a young roster when it comes to 904 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 16: making the decisions like going for two and all of that. 905 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if the young roster necessarily factors 906 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 7: into that decision. 907 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 4: Joe. 908 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 7: I think every decision you make is based on I mean, 909 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 7: you can say analytics, but you know how good the 910 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 7: defense is on a short yard of what. 911 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 6: Their percentages of stopping the other team? 912 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 7: Is it statistics and use that to make your decisions, 913 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 7: and then you look at the matchups and your players 914 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 7: versus their players. 915 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,720 Speaker 6: So I think it's. 916 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 7: Certainly a tool, and it's information to take in, but 917 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 7: I think there's so much that goes into decisions when 918 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 7: you're making them. The decision to go for two when 919 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 7: you're down, you know, to start the series at fourteen. 920 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 7: That's also based on the plays you have available, to 921 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 7: the matchups, those type of things. 922 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 6: So I don't think it's it's ever just a black 923 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 6: and white picture, if you will. 924 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 16: And then just a game Sunday, I think two and 925 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 16: thirty receiving yards after to catch. It seems like Shador 926 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 16: during his three starts has been good about finding the 927 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 16: open receivers and letting them operate in open space. Is 928 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 16: that one of the areas of his game where you've 929 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 16: seen progress too, where you've been able to get yards 930 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 16: after to catch where maybe you didn't early in the season. 931 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 6: I don't know. I wouldn't compare it to early in 932 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 6: the season. I would tell you. 933 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 7: When you talk about rack and those type of things, 934 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 7: I think it's there's a lot of dimensions to that, 935 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 7: but certainly the accuracy of the throw factors into it. 936 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 7: When you can put the throw or the receiver or 937 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 7: the tight end or the running back doesn't have to 938 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 7: break stride, that allows you to maximize your speed throughout 939 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 7: the route into the play. And then it's the receivers 940 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 7: winning versus man. I think Jerry's route as big touchdown 941 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 7: was versus man. He won, and he won, he won, 942 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 7: you know, with a lot of separations, So I think 943 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 7: it all factors into it. 944 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 8: Okay, thanks, Yeah, just wondering, Kevin, now that you guys 945 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 8: are officially eliminated from playoff contention, what's your confidence level 946 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 8: that you have the infrastructure, the leadership group in place 947 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 8: to make sure that these guys are going to be 948 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 8: out there just fighting all the way to the end 949 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 8: and playing as hard as they have been. 950 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 6: Yeah. 951 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 7: We know it's in front of us, Mary, kay, and 952 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 7: that's all that We'll focus on. What we got a 953 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 7: big test this week in Chicago. That's the most important 954 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 7: thing in front of us. 955 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 4: Thank you, you hear me? 956 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,760 Speaker 13: I'm glaring Kearn, when you guys broke down the fifty 957 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 13: three roster in September with thirteen or fourteen rookies first 958 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 13: year players, how much of an understanding was there in 959 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 13: the organization that this was going to be tough to 960 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 13: win with that many rookies? And he's your expectations overall 961 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 13: been higher or lower than what we're getting here at 962 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 13: three and ten. 963 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 6: Yeah. 964 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 7: All I would tell you, Tony is that the guys 965 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 7: who are on the roster are guys that I trust, 966 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 7: we trust. I don't get caught up in that type 967 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 7: of thing other than say that these young players that 968 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 7: were counting on continue to get better and they got 969 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 7: the right attitude. 970 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 11: Ken, I guess it relates to what Tony just asked you. 971 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 11: But given you're playing so many rookies, especially on offense 972 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 11: and key roles, is it just a cost of doing 973 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,919 Speaker 11: business that there's going to be mistakes? And sometimes those 974 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 11: mistakes are in really critical moments. 975 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 6: In the sense that young players make mistakes. Sure, but 976 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 6: we trust our guys. You know, these guys. 977 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 7: Part of making mistake is you're learning from it and 978 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 7: you're gonna get better at it.

But as far as 1031 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 4: at the actual awards, CRE only ours was in New 1032 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 4: York when I got into the College Football of Fame, 1033 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 4: and it was really just kind of focused on the 1034 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 4: guys being inducted into that Hall of Fame. But yet 1035 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 4: I don't remember specifically.

Gone 1042 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:27,280 Speaker 3: so sad. 1043 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's pretty sad, and Fall has been pretty sad 1044 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,720 Speaker 4: for a while. And I think the sad part really 1045 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,359 Speaker 4: for him outside of like what's happened with the PAC 1046 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 4: twelve and what's happened with all those teams on the 1047 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 4: West Coast, is that there's just an apathy around all 1048 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 4: those college fan bases, like they're not getting fans to 1049 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 4: show up, they can't get TV money, nobody really wants 1050 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 4: to even play in the games anymore, and it's like, 1051 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 4: you know, it's kind of withering. Unfortunately, with as strong 1052 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 4: as Big Ten football, sec ACC has gotten, like I 1053 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 4: feel like we've taken that energy in the mojo from 1054 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 4: the fan base out there, and it's it's pretty sad. 1055 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 4: When you're an alumnus, you know, you always want to 1056 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 4: have pride in your university and what they're doing, and 1057 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 4: really out there with cal they're doing nothing. 1058 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 3: To prove Hoff's point. 1059 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 2: The guy who replaced Matt Campbell at Iowa State came 1060 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 2: from Washington State. 1061 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 3: He was there for one year. 1062 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 2: The athletic director at Iowa State said he didn't even 1063 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:21,799 Speaker 2: ask him what the money was. 1064 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 3: He just said yes. 1065 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 2: And I would have argued five years ago, Washington State's 1066 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 2: a better job than they've won Rose Bulls at Washington State, 1067 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 2: like they've been to Rose Bulls, I would say someone 1068 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 2: in anything in consequence, but because they're not in. 1069 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,399 Speaker 5: A league, a first overall pick and a second overall pick. 1070 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Washington State.

They love the jerky too. All of those 1150 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,239 Speaker 2: things we're winning, so so yeah, they will be staples, 1151 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 2: my friend. Hopefully winning becomes a staple for this franchise 1152 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,239 Speaker 2: at some point. It seems like we're a ways off 1153 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,720 Speaker 2: for this now U transition, Let's go. 1154 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 3: Let's go. 1155 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 2: Glasses half full, Hoff, glasses half full. You had a 1156 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 2: quarterback make some throws. Joe Flacco had some throws in 1157 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,319 Speaker 2: some games like this in twenty twenty three. Jamis had 1158 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 2: some heads a couple of games like this last year. 1159 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 2: But this was a big spot for Shador and he 1160 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 2: played really well and made some massive throws in this one. 1161 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 2: And Haffwood Ze and I were talking about in the 1162 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 2: first hour is every week he gets a little better 1163 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 2: at something else, like he takes the coaching and gets 1164 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 2: better the next week. I think it's a real bright 1165 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 2: spot for this team. What was your impressions of what 1166 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 2: you saw from him and start number three. 1167 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 4: I think it's safe to call this a breakout game 1168 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 4: for Shadur because I mean, we've kind of seen that 1169 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 4: steady progress, which is obviously what you want. And I 1170 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 4: think the danger is he was a fifth round pick, 1171 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,759 Speaker 4: but there's so many people on the outside, especially that 1172 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 4: still in their mind have him as like the number 1173 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 4: one pick, like, well, yeah, he wasn't number one, but 1174 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 4: he should have been. And so he's almost like graded 1175 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,919 Speaker 4: and has expectations as if he's the number one pick. 1176 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 4: But he's a fifth round guy. He's coming in the 1177 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 4: middle of the year. He hasn't had the experience playing 1178 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,839 Speaker 4: with the ones, going against the ones, and training camp 1179 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 4: and so like it's all very fresh for him, and 1180 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,359 Speaker 4: so to see the progress that he's making from week 1181 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 4: to week is really incredible, and I think it gives 1182 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 4: great hope to the organization. It gives great hope, certainly 1183 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 4: to the offense, and to have a breakout game like 1184 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 4: this where he's doing more of the thing that people 1185 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 4: saw from him in college that wanted him to be 1186 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 4: the number one pick, which is when it's a big moment, 1187 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 4: he makes great decisions and he rises to the occasion 1188 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,319 Speaker 4: it's never too big for him. And I think that's 1189 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 4: the thing that probably more than anything, made the Brown 1190 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 4: say we got to take this guy. I know we 1191 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 4: already took a quarterback in the third round and we 1192 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 4: got two first round picks next year. But when you're 1193 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 4: a player that can rise above the situation and when 1194 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 4: big time plays are called for in big moments, you 1195 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 4: deliver that raised the level of play of all the 1196 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,840 Speaker 4: guys that are around you, Like that's what all the 1197 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 4: great quarterbacks throughout history have always done, and that's what 1198 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 4: schudeor did in this game. And it was so fun 1199 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 4: to be able to watch that, to watch him progress 1200 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 4: and to grow and mature. And I know everybody else 1201 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 4: on the team maybe always wasn't pitching in, but to 1202 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,799 Speaker 4: see a guy that had some opportunities and made the 1203 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 4: most of it when it was a big game for 1204 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,400 Speaker 4: him and the game was on the line, and he 1205 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,360 Speaker 4: got what they needed, right. I think back to the 1206 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 4: Brady's and the Manning and the guys today like the 1207 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allens. They get you what you need 1208 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 4: when you need it, And to me, that's the defining 1209 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 4: characteristic of a franchise quarterback and We saw that from 1210 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 4: Schadur yesterday. 1211 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he made he was willing hoff when you 1212 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,440 Speaker 5: watch some of those the best throws of the day, 1213 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 5: he was willing to stand in the pocket and deliver 1214 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 5: the football and. 1215 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 3: Take big hits. 1216 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,319 Speaker 5: He was hit fourteen times in this game, quarterback hits 1217 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 5: the Titans had, and yet he was able to operate 1218 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 5: the throat of fan in where he got absolutely crushed. 1219 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 5: Was one of the better throws you'll see in the 1220 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 5: league this week. It's one of the better throws you'll see, 1221 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,759 Speaker 5: honestly this year. Absolutely What does that do for the 1222 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,959 Speaker 5: guys kind of in the huddle and for this team 1223 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,799 Speaker 5: to see him and he did this at Colorado, But 1224 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,240 Speaker 5: just take those hits, get back up, and just deliver 1225 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 5: the football and go about his business. 1226 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 4: I think it's so important because, right, you really don't 1227 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 4: have any pelts on the wall at this point when 1228 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 4: you're a rookie, and sometimes you come in as a 1229 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 4: guy who's very heralded from college. You know, played with 1230 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,080 Speaker 4: a lot of rookie quarterbacks that had great careers that 1231 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,439 Speaker 4: won Heisman's in college, and they come in and there's 1232 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 4: a little bit of like, all right, that's great, that 1233 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 4: you did everything in college and you're you know, big stuff, 1234 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 4: but hey, you're a rookie right now. You're in the 1235 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,880 Speaker 4: bottom of the totem pool. So prove it to me, 1236 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,759 Speaker 4: you know, make me want to believe in you and 1237 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 4: to follow you, because that's what a great quarterback has 1238 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 4: to do. And he did that, and I think one 1239 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,799 Speaker 4: of the ways you can do that is standing in 1240 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 4: there and showing toughness when it's necessary, when you know 1241 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 4: that big hits coming and you have to deliver the 1242 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 4: football because the game depends on it, and you're willing 1243 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 4: to take that hit like that is the type of 1244 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 4: play that makes guys believe in you in that offense, 1245 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 4: that raises their level of play because now, all of 1246 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 4: a sudden, you've built a belief in yourself as the 1247 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 4: quarterback and in those guys that are playing for you 1248 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 4: that are thinking, hey man, we got a guy right there. 1249 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 4: We better hold up our end of the bargain because 1250 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 4: he's going to do his. And I think you know, 1251 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 4: being willing in smart situations like that to take those 1252 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 4: big hits, to bounce back, to make those plays, that 1253 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,280 Speaker 4: last touchdown run when nothing was available, to put your 1254 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 4: head down and run through contact to get into the 1255 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 4: end zone. Like he's showing it, winning is important and 1256 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,919 Speaker 4: that's the only thing that matters for him. And when 1257 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 4: you do that, that's how you get those guys to 1258 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 4: start playing as a team to get the most out 1259 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 4: of everybody around you. 1260 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can see the belief. 1261 00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 2: I just think the growth and the belief and all 1262 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 2: that he's just getting better and better each week. I 1263 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 2: think that that's really noteworthy with this team and today 1264 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 2: Kevin and the announced obviously he's a starter for the 1265 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 2: rest of the way. What's next, uf, what do you 1266 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 2: want to see? And by the way, the competition amps up, Bigley, 1267 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 2: next three are all playing for massive stakes in terms 1268 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 2: of the opponent, and we're starting with Chicago obviously. As 1269 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 2: this competition goes amps up and as the teams are 1270 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 2: playing for more of the opposition, what do you want 1271 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,160 Speaker 2: to see as the next progression for him? 1272 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 4: Well, I'd like to continue to see obviously the growth 1273 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 4: that we've seen across the board. Right, he's not taking 1274 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 4: the sacks, he's not drifting in the pocket, he's quicker 1275 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 4: with his decision makings, he's not paralyzed when they're showing 1276 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,200 Speaker 4: blitz he's able to start to see the defense and 1277 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 4: make sure that they're in the right play, like all 1278 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 4: those leadership things, all those things that are really important 1279 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,600 Speaker 4: for a rookie quarterback. But really what I'd love to 1280 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 4: see is just eliminate some of the big, major bad plays, right, 1281 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 4: And I think that's a natural progression for a Ricky quarterback. 1282 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 4: You know, he had one amazing throw to Jerry Judy, 1283 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,160 Speaker 4: that sixty yard touchdown or a sixty yard bomb. It 1284 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 4: was awesome, right, but then you've got a really bad 1285 00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:12,280 Speaker 4: interception where it was just shouldn't have been thrown, you know. 1286 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 4: And I get it as you're trying to speed up 1287 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 4: your progression and how you're seeing the defense, like you're 1288 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 4: getting a quicker trigger, and maybe sometimes that's happening before 1289 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 4: you really see the picture clearly. But what I would 1290 00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 4: love to see is, as these defenses are getting tougher 1291 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 4: here with the final four games of the season, and 1292 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 4: they got a lot to play for and it's going 1293 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 4: to be more challenging and a lot trickier, like, just 1294 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 4: minimize some of those major bad plays and continue to 1295 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 4: do the things he's doing across the board. So I mean, 1296 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 4: if he can do that and he can play not 1297 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 4: mistake free, because that's not a fair assessment, but just 1298 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 4: continue to limit the number of mistakes he's making and 1299 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 4: do all the other things he's been doing. I mean, 1300 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 4: you're going to be feeling really, really good down the 1301 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 4: stretch of the season because he's a fun quarterback to watch. 1302 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 4: He's a fun quarterback to cheer four, and he's making 1303 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 4: a it's great case for himself to be the franchise 1304 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 4: quarterback moving forward. 1305 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 5: He is the thing I liked and Bo talked about 1306 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 5: it that week to week improvement, you know, like stop 1307 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 5: running out of the back after the Ravens game, out 1308 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 5: of the back of the pocket, He's done a good job. 1309 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 5: He's climbing the pocket now pretty consistently, you know, don't 1310 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 5: You've got to go ahead and be you know, willing 1311 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 5: to rip it over the middle of the field. You've 1312 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 5: got to be anticipatory and throw it. That was a 1313 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 5: big point of vasays this week. 1314 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 3: We saw it. 1315 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 5: I mean, that ball to Judy is as good a 1316 01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,439 Speaker 5: ball as you're going to see. And so I thought 1317 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 5: that there was a ton of improvement that we saw, 1318 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,480 Speaker 5: you know, from him in this game, and I it's 1319 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 5: very encouraging. These are big numbers and down the stretch 1320 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 5: ten to thirteen on those last two drives when you 1321 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 5: needed it the most. I mean, that's that's real stuff. 1322 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 5: And he did a good job as a runner as well. 1323 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 5: I thought his ball placement was excellent. I mean, it 1324 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 5: was all the things that you'd really wanted and hope 1325 01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 5: to see, and it gives you, I think a lot 1326 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,959 Speaker 5: of hope. If you're the Cleveland Browns, that man, maybe 1327 01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 5: we've got our guy. How big are the next three 1328 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 5: games to you? Hof where you're looking at three teams 1329 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 5: that are fighting for their playoffs lives the Bay, there's 1330 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 5: the Bills and the Steelers, and you know what do 1331 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,919 Speaker 5: you want to see over those those games that tell you, Yeah, 1332 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 5: let's get this guy a tackle, Let's get this guy 1333 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,720 Speaker 5: another stud wide receiver here in the first round next year, 1334 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 5: and let's let let's let Shador Sanders be the guy 1335 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 5: get all the work and let's see what he can become. 1336 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean these are huge obviously, because he's set 1337 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 4: himself up where the table now is set where if 1338 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 4: he plays great in his last four games, he's been 1339 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,200 Speaker 4: a great case for being that guy next year and 1340 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 4: building around him, And the thing that I'm most excited 1341 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 4: for is that he's put himself in position. There's no 1342 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,960 Speaker 4: controversy or conversation now about going back to Dylan Gabriel 1343 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 4: or doing anything else at that position because he's set 1344 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 4: the table. But you're gonna have to see that steady growth. 1345 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,680 Speaker 4: And I'm not wanting to be pessimistic at all, but 1346 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 4: I really want to see enough growth that it's a 1347 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 4: vote of confidence without a doubt. Yes, let's get him 1348 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 4: some more guys around him, Let's get him weapons, Let's 1349 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 4: make him the number one guy, so we have all 1350 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 4: of off season, all of training camp to be that leader, 1351 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 4: to be the person that's running all the first team reps. 1352 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 4: The thing I'm nervous about is if he kind of 1353 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 4: goes sideways and then it's like not a clear an 1354 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 4: obvious answer if he is the guy or not. And 1355 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 4: as a fifth round pick, it's different than being a 1356 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 4: first round pick. You fifth round picks, unfortunately in this league, 1357 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 4: they're a bit expendable, and so you don't feel like 1358 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 4: you've already invested good money in a guy like that. 1359 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 4: So I really want to see him playing well. I 1360 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,479 Speaker 4: want to make sure that their offensive line is able 1361 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 4: to protect for him and give him the time he 1362 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 4: needs to show us that he is that franchise quarterback 1363 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 4: all right. 1364 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 2: Time for the trench report presented by Big Fig. The 1365 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,560 Speaker 2: mattress made for more Crafton and Cleveland, just like our 1366 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:47,640 Speaker 2: Browns offensive line, even more of a mash unit. Now 1367 01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 2: we've known about Teller and now Postik out for the 1368 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 2: year with an achilles, Luke Whipler will slide in there. 1369 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:55,520 Speaker 2: We knew that this was going to be a massive 1370 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 2: offseason for the offensive line anyway. Off when you're in 1371 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 2: this type of a situation where you have all of 1372 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 2: the injuries that we have already, what are you looking 1373 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 2: for from that group here, especially in the next couple 1374 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 2: of weeks. Obviously the run game blocking has been a 1375 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 2: bit of a problem here in recent weeks, for sure. 1376 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 3: What are you seeing up front? What do we hope 1377 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 3: to see going forward? 1378 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,680 Speaker 4: Well, you lost your center Pozick, who was one of 1379 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,960 Speaker 4: your better offensive linemen. Joel's still in there, thankfully, But 1380 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 4: then after that, you know you're dealing with all backups, 1381 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 4: and you know our tackle play with Cam Robinson and 1382 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 4: Katie Loveston has not been great. Why it's been out 1383 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 4: so with Luke Whipler and I'm moving in at center, 1384 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 4: You've got a lot of fresh faces in there. And 1385 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,439 Speaker 4: every time I've been in a situation like that where 1386 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 4: I've got a lot of young guys around me, a 1387 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,360 Speaker 4: lot of new guys, it's like, all right, I understand 1388 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,320 Speaker 4: that picking up the blitz is going to be a challenge. 1389 01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 4: We've got to do our best. I understand one on 1390 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,560 Speaker 4: one past pro is going to be a challenge. A 1391 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 4: lot of that is art. It's not a science. It's 1392 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 4: not something you can just tough yourself through or try 1393 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 4: harder to get better at it. Like you have to 1394 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,120 Speaker 4: be under control, you have to be focused, you have 1395 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,360 Speaker 4: to know when to deliver the strikes and give them 1396 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 4: everything you got, and you have to know when to 1397 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 4: be patient. Like those are really tough things. But the 1398 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 4: things you can control is how hard you play, how 1399 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 4: tough you play, how you smash somebody in the face. 1400 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,840 Speaker 4: And getting back to being able to efficiently run the 1401 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,120 Speaker 4: football with quin Shawn Judkins, I think is so crucial 1402 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,400 Speaker 4: because then it doesn't put you in those bad situations 1403 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 4: where you have to sit back and pass protect with 1404 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,840 Speaker 4: a group of guys up front that haven't been very 1405 01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,400 Speaker 4: experienced doing that and frankly, are not very good at it. 1406 01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:33,920 Speaker 4: So I think figuring out, all right, we're going to 1407 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,920 Speaker 4: run the ball. We have to be the most physical 1408 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 4: unit on the field whenever we're out there, and we 1409 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,000 Speaker 4: have to hit these guys in the mouth and make 1410 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,960 Speaker 4: them not want to come back in the second half. 1411 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,080 Speaker 4: You can do that, and you can change and you 1412 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 4: can dictate the tempo, the momentum, the style of play 1413 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 4: from that defensive line. If you're beating them up on 1414 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 4: the run game, but you have to be efficient because 1415 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 4: if you're not efficient, they're not going to keep running 1416 01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 4: the football. So for those guys this week, it's all 1417 01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,120 Speaker 4: about toughness. It's all about beating them up, smashing in 1418 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 4: the face and trying to impose your will on the 1419 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 4: defensive line so that your offensive cordner has no choice 1420 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,120 Speaker 4: but to continue to call run games. 1421 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 5: What's interesting about this, hoff and this is something that 1422 01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:14,600 Speaker 5: I think people need to understand. 1423 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 3: Out of the running backs that have at least one 1424 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 3: hundred and. 1425 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,200 Speaker 5: Twenty five carries there and there's basically one for every team, 1426 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 5: there's thirty two of them. Quinshawn Judkins this year ranks 1427 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:30,000 Speaker 5: ninth in yards after contact per carry. He ranks seventh 1428 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 5: overall in yards after contact, but like to give an example, 1429 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 5: he has seven hundred yards after contact. He's rushed for 1430 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 5: seven hundred and eighty four yards. Let that sink in 1431 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,920 Speaker 5: the other guys in the seven hundreds. Derreck Henry has 1432 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 5: seven hundred and twenty four yards after contract. He's got 1433 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,919 Speaker 5: one thousand and twenty five yards. James Cook has seven 1434 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 5: hundred and sixty nine after contact. He's got thirteen hundred 1435 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 5: and eight yards. James Cook, Derrick Henry. They don't even 1436 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 5: average as many yards after contact as quin Shawn Judkins 1437 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 5: per carry per carry crazy, So guys that are around 1438 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,480 Speaker 5: him in terms of you know, seven hundred this they 1439 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 5: all have between one thousand and thirteen hundred yards rushing. 1440 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 5: And here's Quinn John Judkins at seven hundred and eighty four. 1441 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 5: He has the highest percentage of his yards after contact 1442 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 5: in the NFL. 1443 01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 3: What are you seeing? 1444 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 5: Because I know you talked about the mentality and all 1445 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,120 Speaker 5: of that, but the fact of the matter is this 1446 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 5: guy does not get to the line of scrimmage often. 1447 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,320 Speaker 5: In fact, he's getting on average zero point four yards 1448 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 5: down the field before taking contact, whereas Derrick Henry's a 1449 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,800 Speaker 5: yard and a half, James Cook is two point two 1450 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,760 Speaker 5: yards on average before he takes contact. Most of the 1451 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,200 Speaker 5: top running backs it's well over a yard yard and 1452 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,600 Speaker 5: a half to two yards downfield. So what's happening? Because 1453 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 5: that feels really bad. 1454 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 4: Well, that is really bad. I mean, the fright spot is, hey, 1455 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 4: we got this rookie running back and he's breaking tackles 1456 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,800 Speaker 4: and he's making yards and he's doing an amazing job. 1457 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 4: He's more than we expected when we drafted him. The 1458 01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,479 Speaker 4: downside is our blocking has just not been very good. 1459 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 4: There is obviously way too many free runners. There's too 1460 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 4: many missed assignments. There's guys that are putting their heads 1461 01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 4: on the wrong part of the block and they're allowing 1462 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 4: the defensive linemen to get off because you know, I 1463 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 4: always say that as an offensive lineman, our job is 1464 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 4: to get him four yards down line of scrimmage. Right, 1465 01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 4: we can control the five or six guys that are 1466 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 4: in the box, and then beyond that it's up to 1467 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 4: the running back and the receivers to make those blocks. 1468 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,320 Speaker 4: But we have to get him to the line of 1469 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,920 Speaker 4: scrimmage and get his feet through the feet of the 1470 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 4: defensive lineman without being touched to really have a chance. 1471 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,680 Speaker 4: And so it's it's remarkable in good on our well, 1472 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,439 Speaker 4: good John's Dewey without not having any blocking, And it's 1473 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,360 Speaker 4: remarkable and bad with how poorly the offensive line has 1474 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 4: blocked in the run game and opened up those lanes 1475 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 4: for a guy who clearly is a physical back that 1476 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 4: wants the football. That is the type of running back 1477 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 4: that you love the block for as an offensive lineman, 1478 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,160 Speaker 4: and you want to see him showing him some more 1479 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,120 Speaker 4: love by open up some more holes for that guy, 1480 01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:00,120 Speaker 4: because imagine what he would look like if he was 1481 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 4: getting the yard and after yards down the field on 1482 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 4: average before he made contact with anybody. 1483 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 5: All Right, one of the things I used to say about, 1484 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 5: you know, offensive line, they're like mushrooms, be in the dark, 1485 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 5: nobody say their names. 1486 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 3: All of that. 1487 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 5: I've come to the point now where that's all I 1488 01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 5: want special teams to be. I don't want to talk 1489 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,840 Speaker 5: about special teams. I just want them because I feel 1490 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 5: like if we're not talking about it at the at 1491 01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,760 Speaker 5: the worst, it's neutral. You know, another blocked punt that 1492 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 5: you know plays into what now is this whole two 1493 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:31,639 Speaker 5: point controversy and all of these things. How how can 1494 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 5: this keep happening week after week after a week? 1495 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,080 Speaker 4: Well, I guess I don't have a great explanation all now, 1496 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 4: other than to say it it's unacceptable. You know, seen 1497 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,000 Speaker 4: and not heard is how you want your special teams. 1498 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 4: You know, I've played there when Josh Gribbs was there, 1499 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,360 Speaker 4: and we saw them a lot, and it was usually 1500 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,639 Speaker 4: good things, right, great returns, big plays, you know, big 1501 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 4: hits running down on kickoff coverage or punt coverage. But 1502 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 4: you know, to have a unit that you expect to 1503 01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 4: have no mistakes to the season, that's kind of like 1504 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 4: your goal. All right, we're not gonna have any turnovers 1505 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,440 Speaker 4: and we're not gonna allow any really big long returns, 1506 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 4: and that's our expectation. You know, it doesn't always happen. 1507 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 4: There's gonna be a time here or there that you know, 1508 01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,760 Speaker 4: somebody comes free and you get a block kick, or 1509 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,599 Speaker 4: somebody has a long return because somebody in the coverage 1510 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,759 Speaker 4: unit leaves his lane. But to have it consistently happen, 1511 01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,640 Speaker 4: it's a travesty right now, and it's something that you 1512 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,160 Speaker 4: have a hard time putting your finger on because it's like, 1513 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 4: it's almost hard to imagine that you can have so 1514 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:39,000 Speaker 4: many busts on special teams when this is clearly something 1515 01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,400 Speaker 4: that they have to have been emphasizing because it's been 1516 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 4: bad all year long and it's cost us games, and 1517 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,840 Speaker 4: it costs us another game on Sunday, and we talked 1518 01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,879 Speaker 4: about last time I was on how some coaches, especially 1519 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 4: defensive coaches, like putting their starters on those units because 1520 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:55,880 Speaker 4: they can trust those guys, even though it wears them 1521 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,559 Speaker 4: out a little bit. More like they're so important to 1522 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,000 Speaker 4: not make those mistakes that you want to put those 1523 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,160 Speaker 4: guys out there that are reliable. And clearly the guys 1524 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 4: that we have out there right now are either not 1525 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 4: being coached well enough or they're not executing well enough. 1526 01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 4: And as the Bill parcels, the Great Coach used to say, 1527 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,040 Speaker 4: both are a problem, and you have to fix it 1528 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,879 Speaker 4: by either removing one or the other because the combination 1529 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 4: ain't working right now. And unfortunately, the Special Teams unit 1530 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,519 Speaker 4: cannot live like this any longer. It's not like they're 1531 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,880 Speaker 4: trying fake punts and fake field goals are not successful. 1532 01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 4: I mean, they're just trying to execute the basic stuff 1533 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 4: and it's not possible. I mean, this is stuff that 1534 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:34,759 Speaker 4: you should be able to do at the high school 1535 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 4: and college level, and we're consistently struggling with very basic things. 1536 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 4: And so I mean, if I had to guess, Okay, 1537 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 4: maybe communications part of it. Maybe it's the preparation of 1538 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,400 Speaker 4: the players that are in there, but you've got to 1539 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,439 Speaker 4: make a change and figure out if that guy can't 1540 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 4: do it, we need to find somebody that can. And 1541 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,640 Speaker 4: maybe that means putting in some of these starters and 1542 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 4: spending a little bit more time during practice. I get it, 1543 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:58,200 Speaker 4: You've got a lot of things to work on. You 1544 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,120 Speaker 4: got a rookie quarterback on offense. You don't want to 1545 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:05,160 Speaker 4: take time from his opportunity and practice to run our 1546 01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 4: plays against the scout defense. But if it means coming 1547 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 4: out early or cutting out one of the team plays 1548 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 4: and our team grades and emphasizing more special teams tim 1549 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,200 Speaker 4: on the field, but think got to do it because 1550 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,959 Speaker 4: you can't just keep having these big returns and fumbles 1551 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 4: on punt return and then allowing block punts like these 1552 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 4: are just things that can't happen once in a season, 1553 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 4: much less reoccurring the way it is this season. 1554 01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:32,880 Speaker 2: If we started this talking about the fact that you're 1555 01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,599 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas to honor former teammate Alex Mack as 1556 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 2: he goes into the College Football Hall of Fame. 1557 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:39,880 Speaker 3: You mentioned he's one of your best friends in the sport. 1558 01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:42,680 Speaker 3: What can you tell us? Is there a story? 1559 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 2: I guess maybe when did you realize that he was great, 1560 01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:47,840 Speaker 2: that he had this type of career in him that 1561 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,559 Speaker 2: eventually gets him into the College Football Hall of Fame. 1562 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,000 Speaker 4: Well, I think from day one you realize that this 1563 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,439 Speaker 4: guy has the attitude of a golden retriever where it's 1564 01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 4: like he's gonna fetch that foot that ball until he 1565 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 4: dies or until the master stops throwing it, because that 1566 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,280 Speaker 4: was his nickname when he was here, and then he 1567 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,240 Speaker 4: went to Atlanta with Kyle Shanahan and he was just 1568 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,679 Speaker 4: the guy that was the ultimate teammate, right. He would 1569 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,080 Speaker 4: have been the world's greatest Navy seal because if anybody 1570 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 4: told him run through that wall, climb up and go 1571 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 4: kill Bin Lauden, like he's like, yes, sir, when should 1572 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 4: I show up? Like I've never seen Alex where he 1573 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,080 Speaker 4: gave up because he was too tired or he didn't 1574 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 4: like what he was doing. He was just the perfect 1575 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,080 Speaker 4: teammate in every respect. And I'll give you a brief story. 1576 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,800 Speaker 4: But when he was a rookie, Eric Manngini was the 1577 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,720 Speaker 4: head coach, and his way to punish players for false starts, 1578 01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,599 Speaker 4: for fumbles and things like that was to make him 1579 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 4: take a lap. Right. Of course, everybody hated it. It felt 1580 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,479 Speaker 4: like it was high school. But Alex was like, all right, 1581 01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:46,320 Speaker 4: I'm going to take a lap, but reps are too 1582 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,439 Speaker 4: important for me. And so I've never seen this before. 1583 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,840 Speaker 4: I mean, the dude was running like a fifty five 1584 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 4: second four hundred meter dash in between plays because he 1585 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 4: had a lot of fumbles. He was having a hard 1586 01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 4: time with the snap count and so he was fumbling 1587 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 4: the snap a lot quarterback exchange. But he would finish 1588 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,960 Speaker 4: the play and he knew, hey, I fumbled it or 1589 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 4: I screwed something up, and he would start his lap 1590 01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:11,960 Speaker 4: full speed, and fans that were at training camp would 1591 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,760 Speaker 4: remember it because it was like the attraction why people 1592 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,439 Speaker 4: would come to training camp back then when he was 1593 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,640 Speaker 4: a rookie, because he would run that thing like he 1594 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 4: was Usain Bolt coming around the field and he would 1595 01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:23,600 Speaker 4: get back into the huddle and he'd be ready for 1596 01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,640 Speaker 4: the very next play, and it was just amazing to 1597 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,280 Speaker 4: see that level of effort. And then on the next 1598 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,879 Speaker 4: play he'd be running forty yards down the field finishing 1599 01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 4: his block. And so it was just an incredible level 1600 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,760 Speaker 4: of effort he played with. He was so smart and cerebral. 1601 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,680 Speaker 4: He understood technique, and you know, he's a guy that 1602 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 4: at three hundred and twenty pounds could do the splits. 1603 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,240 Speaker 4: I mean, he had everything you want in the center. 1604 01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 4: And that's a big reason why Kyle brought him Atlanta. 1605 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,040 Speaker 4: And then Kyle brought him in San Francisco and he 1606 01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:54,600 Speaker 4: played thirteen years and you know, played amazing and I 1607 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,440 Speaker 4: forget what herear was in Cleveland, but the guy had appendicitis. 1608 01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 4: Played the game the next week was the Then he 1609 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,720 Speaker 4: had surgery, laid on the couch for ten days, and 1610 01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,240 Speaker 4: then like two days before the game, they taped him 1611 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:08,760 Speaker 4: up and he went out and he played and he 1612 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,920 Speaker 4: never missed a snap.

So he's like for him, 1717 01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:12,080 Speaker 5: this was super cool to be in there. But when's 1718 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,880 Speaker 5: the last time you saw somebody as sad? I mean, 1719 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,360 Speaker 5: his face towards the end of that game was it 1720 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 5: was like somebody had told Bootsy that Christmas was canceled. 1721 01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,559 Speaker 5: So he's he travels from Australia every year to see 1722 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,559 Speaker 5: a game. He has not seen a win in person, 1723 01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 5: and like this was going to be it. 1724 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:32,640 Speaker 6: This was it. 1725 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:33,400 Speaker 3: He was sure of it. 1726 01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,679 Speaker 5: And he's such a big Schador supporter and for Chador 1727 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:37,439 Speaker 5: to ball out like. 1728 01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 3: That, he was so excited. 1729 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 5: But he was, I mean, he was he called throwing 1730 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:43,840 Speaker 5: for Ford today that they did he said four he 1731 01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,320 Speaker 5: did get four touchdowns? 1732 01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:46,560 Speaker 17: He got four touchdowns. 1733 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was yeah, it was very cool. 1734 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,720 Speaker 17: He was he was sad. There's there's another clip that 1735 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,880 Speaker 17: well we can't show, but's girl was just as sad and. 1736 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 2: I look forward for the backstory on that. Yeah, so 1737 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 2: that was That was a great play though, and I 1738 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 2: think that's for me. That's my takeaway from the game 1739 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:11,040 Speaker 2: is the kids slung. 1740 01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 5: It, anticipatory ball placement, the accuracy, the willingness to stand 1741 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,400 Speaker 5: in the pocket and deliver the football, the ability to improvise. 1742 01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 5: He did more as a runner for a guy that 1743 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 5: supposed he can't run. He did plenty good as a 1744 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,559 Speaker 5: runner and was elusive. His eyes were better, his eyes 1745 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,479 Speaker 5: were down the field. You know, there are a couple 1746 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,200 Speaker 5: throws that you know you still want him to hit 1747 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,000 Speaker 5: like Bond had has won the game where he got 1748 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 5: behind the defense and that one he just didn't quite 1749 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,760 Speaker 5: get it to him. But I mean, this was this 1750 01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 5: was a performance. I listen, I don't know that guy 1751 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:40,519 Speaker 5: right there was he said it. This is where he 1752 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,280 Speaker 5: starts to take control of this this job in this team, 1753 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 5: and now he's the starter for the rest of the season. 1754 01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:48,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, all that you can ask for, all you 1755 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 2: could not ask. You can't ask for anything as a 1756 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,560 Speaker 2: fifth throwne pick all you can hope for his opportunity. 1757 01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:52,880 Speaker 4: Yep. 1758 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:57,080 Speaker 3: That's it. He has his opportunity now, yep, And what 1759 01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:57,800 Speaker 3: does he do with it? 1760 01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,240 Speaker 2: And if he plays well over the last month, then 1761 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 2: this organization doesn't have to look for a quarterback in 1762 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:06,240 Speaker 2: the offseason, and that changes the trajectory of everything. And 1763 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,679 Speaker 2: so that's what's in front of him. He's been given 1764 01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:12,800 Speaker 2: his opportunity, he's earned his opportunity. He's taking his opportunity 1765 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 2: and getting better each week, which is the thing that 1766 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,320 Speaker 2: is the bright spot for me, is that every week 1767 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,800 Speaker 2: there's something he adds to it, so that tells you 1768 01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:23,200 Speaker 2: he's putting in the work.

How about the fact that they took 1810 01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:11,880 Speaker 2: a break while they reviewed the most important play of 1811 01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,160 Speaker 2: the game. It was in and they didn't even they 1812 01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:16,200 Speaker 2: weren't even on air for the reversal. 1813 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:17,040 Speaker 3: Here's another thing. 1814 01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 6: It's crazy. 1815 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:22,800 Speaker 5: Here's another thing, Doctor Pepper thing.

You're giving 1820 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,880 Speaker 2: away one hundred grand Man McAfee gives away a million 1821 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 2: on game day, Like, we gotta up a little bit 1822 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:39,479 Speaker 2: and you have to throw like a football. 1823 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta throw like a football. Yeah, there's none 1824 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:46,680 Speaker 3: of that, right, okay, I'm unhappy. 1825 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:54,040 Speaker 5: Okay, the teams that have absolutely no chance of winning 1826 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,479 Speaker 5: one game, let alone winning the whole thing are in 1827 01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:58,080 Speaker 5: this tournament. 1828 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 3: To tell you why they are, I know what? Well, yes, please, no, 1829 01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:01,800 Speaker 3: do you know? 1830 01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:02,400 Speaker 6: I mean? 1831 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 5: I think so because conference winners have to be in 1832 01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,480 Speaker 5: or antitrust laws or nonsense. 1833 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:09,960 Speaker 2: So in order to go to the to the twelve 1834 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:14,640 Speaker 2: team playoff, they had to have every Division one conference 1835 01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:18,799 Speaker 2: they had to get a majority approval, so in that vote, 1836 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:20,439 Speaker 2: the American. 1837 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:21,519 Speaker 3: Had as much say as the SEC. 1838 01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,120 Speaker 2: So that is how that's how the highest ranked group 1839 01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:29,680 Speaker 2: of five team conference champion got into the dance. The 1840 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,080 Speaker 2: reason the second one got in James Madison this instance 1841 01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 2: is because of the ACC's absurd tiebreaker rule, Miami could 1842 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 2: not play for the ACC championship game, so instead it 1843 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:41,839 Speaker 2: was Duke against Virginia. 1844 01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:43,360 Speaker 3: Duke beat Virginia. 1845 01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 2: Duke is the champion of the ACC, but is ranked 1846 01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 2: behind James Madison. So that's how that happened. That's stupid, 1847 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 2: but that's how it happened. So dumb of course. 1848 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,760 Speaker 5: First of all, giving any conference other than the big 1849 01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,400 Speaker 5: hole waiting with the SEC, everybody else should be quiet. 1850 01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 2: And before that it'll be going forward. But to Lane 1851 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,000 Speaker 2: and Old Miss have already played Old misbeat the breaks off. 1852 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 2: I'm like forty five to fourteen. The other one James 1853 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,760 Speaker 2: Madison going to Oregon. They're twenty one and a half 1854 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 2: point dogs. 1855 01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:11,439 Speaker 5: That's why that was it my other rule I had here, 1856 01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:12,800 Speaker 5: you're more than a fourteen point dog. 1857 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:14,160 Speaker 3: You can't be in. You're out. 1858 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:18,240 Speaker 5: Uh So that's that's that, Okay, why that happened. That 1859 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,559 Speaker 5: we're making a TV show here, that's the reality of it. 1860 01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 5: So here, I'm gonna give you a good TV show. 1861 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 5: You get the twelve best teams in here, or even 1862 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,479 Speaker 5: the best TV draws.

The group of six can play for their 1883 01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 2: own tournament, their own national championship. 1884 01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 5: Yes, that's all you have to do is school and 1885 01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,439 Speaker 5: the big championship number three And now this one you 1886 01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 5: need to explain to me. 1887 01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, what's going on with Notre Dame. 1888 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,400 Speaker 5: So now it's like we're not in here, so we're 1889 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 5: not playing in any bowl game. 1890 01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 2: Good for them, but good for them. I agree with 1891 01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:43,760 Speaker 2: them for doing that. So here's here's what happened. This 1892 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:45,519 Speaker 2: is this, This is the real truth of it. This 1893 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 2: is absolutely what happened. That committee had a choice. They 1894 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:53,439 Speaker 2: could either piss off the SEC and Alabama and undermine 1895 01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:58,479 Speaker 2: the conference championship games, or they could piss off Notre Dame, 1896 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,800 Speaker 2: and they chose to piss off Notre Dames. They don't 1897 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:03,519 Speaker 2: have a conference back because they don't have a conference 1898 01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:04,519 Speaker 2: vacuum over the ACC. 1899 01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,439 Speaker 3: They're in the ACC for everything except football. 1900 01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 2: But they could not risk upsetting the SEC again because 1901 01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 2: the SEC is the one league and trust me, I 1902 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,280 Speaker 2: lived in there for a long time. If they just 1903 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,679 Speaker 2: crowned a national champion of SEC teams, they would be happy. 1904 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 2: They don't need to play anybody else in their mind, 1905 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,120 Speaker 2: so they could take their ball and go home and 1906 01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:24,760 Speaker 2: be fine with it. 1907 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:26,920 Speaker 3: I don't think that they would, but they had a choice. 1908 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 2: They could either upset Alabama the SEC, or they could 1909 01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:30,120 Speaker 2: upset Notre Dame. 1910 01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:31,559 Speaker 3: They chose to upset Notre Dame. 1911 01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 2: Now, if you're going to say if the next thing is, well, 1912 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 2: wait a second, you can't penalize the team for losing 1913 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 2: its conference championship game, Well, holl on a second. You 1914 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:40,200 Speaker 2: penalize BYU for losing their conference championship game? 1915 01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 3: Well yeah, but they're not in the SEC. 1916 01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 2: And that's the reality that the SEC and the Big 1917 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 2: Ten really run this thing. And there is no way 1918 01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,200 Speaker 2: that committee was going to going to undermine the conference 1919 01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:53,320 Speaker 2: championship games because the SEC still wants to play theirs 1920 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 2: and there's no way that they were going to do that. Robbed, 1921 01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,240 Speaker 2: Notre Dame is better than Alabama. Alabama's been leaking oil 1922 01:27:59,280 --> 01:27:59,679 Speaker 2: for a month. 1923 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,320 Speaker 3: Yes, okay, so here's what college. But they were never 1924 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:06,680 Speaker 3: going to ever leave Alabama out. What about the. 1925 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,880 Speaker 5: Days when the majority of bowl games had nothing to 1926 01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,800 Speaker 5: do with anything but the pageantry and the kids get 1927 01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,040 Speaker 5: to go and they get their swag and they have 1928 01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 5: this bonding experience and it's a way for seniors or 1929 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,760 Speaker 5: juniors were leaving to close out their college career. Their 1930 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 5: guys on Notre Dame was college career was just like 1931 01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,240 Speaker 5: abruptly ended. They thought they're playing for the playoffs, Like 1932 01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:25,720 Speaker 5: now you're not gonna play college football ever again. 1933 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 2: Well, because they don't want to go to Orlando and 1934 01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 2: play BYU and the fill in the blank Pop Tart Bowl. 1935 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:33,519 Speaker 2: There are a lot of them are millionaires, Like Jeremiah 1936 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:34,960 Speaker 2: Love is going to go to the NFL Draft. He 1937 01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,200 Speaker 2: doesn't want to. He's not risking his health. That's when 1938 01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:41,840 Speaker 2: that Dan Patrick today heard him, and it was a 1939 01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,960 Speaker 2: great interview. Yeah, but he said he goes like, we're 1940 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 2: not going to have four or five of our best players. 1941 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,760 Speaker 17: More than that probably they're not going to play in 1942 01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:52,920 Speaker 17: the game anyway. So when they doesn't do us any good. 1943 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 2: Bowls have become the Pro Bowl. Yes, because Notre Dame 1944 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,240 Speaker 2: is not the only one. There's there's a dozen teams 1945 01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,240 Speaker 2: who were bailed on who got fine. Yeah, ioways stayed 1946 01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 2: in case state got fine. The bulls are what happened 1947 01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 2: to the Pro Bowl. The bulls used to be before 1948 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 2: you could pay players, before everybody got so wealthy. 1949 01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:11,759 Speaker 3: The bulls used to be the reward. 1950 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, come, stay a resort, will treat you well, get 1951 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:16,719 Speaker 2: a bunch of swag, play a game for fun against 1952 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,720 Speaker 2: an opponent you don't normally see in warm weather. That's 1953 01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,439 Speaker 2: all gone. These kids all make a ton of money. Yep, 1954 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:24,880 Speaker 2: there's no there's no need for them to do it anymore. 1955 01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:26,559 Speaker 2: And the coaches don't see the value in the fifteen 1956 01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:29,120 Speaker 2: practices anymore because their team's going to be very different 1957 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:31,360 Speaker 2: the next year. It sucks what happened to Notre Dame. 1958 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:36,160 Speaker 3: But sixteen team best sixteens? I actually don't. I think opposite. 1959 01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:37,920 Speaker 3: I think eight. Well, if you're gonna get rid of 1960 01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 3: the riff raft, that's fine. 1961 01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:40,840 Speaker 2: I just think the best eight if you have three losses, 1962 01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:42,680 Speaker 2: you shouldn't be contending for a national title, like it's 1963 01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:43,720 Speaker 2: a yah, isn't it all? 1964 01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:43,960 Speaker 4: Right? 1965 01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:45,800 Speaker 2: So I think they could have or it's gonna go 1966 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,160 Speaker 2: where you're at, it's gonna go sixteen. They got to 1967 01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:50,639 Speaker 2: get the calendar, right, I do I know Notre Dame 1968 01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,320 Speaker 2: is really chesty right now about we will never join 1969 01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:53,919 Speaker 2: a conference. 1970 01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:56,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't and then I don't know. 1971 01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,120 Speaker 5: So Notre Dame has a thing now that going forward 1972 01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:01,599 Speaker 5: after this year, if they're ranked in the top toll 1973 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:02,479 Speaker 5: they're automatically in. 1974 01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:06,599 Speaker 2: They Yeah, there's a memorandum that says that, but that's 1975 01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:08,799 Speaker 2: only if it's twelve or fourteen. If it goes to sixteen, 1976 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,679 Speaker 2: it wouldn't include that. The reality is as it stands 1977 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:13,200 Speaker 2: right now. And this is really hard for Notre Dame 1978 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,960 Speaker 2: folks to hear. Notre Dame almost needs the AEC more 1979 01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,400 Speaker 2: than they need them. The AEC isn't benefiting at all 1980 01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:20,439 Speaker 2: from having Notre Dame, and Notre Dame needs the a 1981 01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 2: SEC for the scheduling partnership for all their non revenue sports, 1982 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:24,679 Speaker 2: well otherwise they would. 1983 01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 3: Have played Dame. 1984 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,519 Speaker 17: Then it comes out and says there's a big, permanent 1985 01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 17: damage done, I know, But where's he gonna it back 1986 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 17: at the end? 1987 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:34,800 Speaker 3: And I'm like, I think the Ten because they don't 1988 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 3: view themselves that way. They view themselves above the Big Ten. 1989 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,080 Speaker 2: And that goes back to Michigan not let them in 1990 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 2: the Big Ten one hundred years ago. 1991 01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:41,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1992 01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:43,680 Speaker 5: Times have changed, Yeah, they have. So that would be 1993 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:44,760 Speaker 5: a good school to have in the Big Ten. 1994 01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 3: It'd be great. It would make sense for everybody. 1995 01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,080 Speaker 17: And we'll talk about on four downs because I know 1996 01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:51,639 Speaker 17: we're up against it. But the fact that Ohio State 1997 01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:54,519 Speaker 17: is playing New Year's Eve I am angry about. 1998 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:54,920 Speaker 6: Dude. 1999 01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:56,720 Speaker 2: How about the fact that Ohio State is playing New 2000 01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:59,559 Speaker 2: Year's Eve in Dallas against likely Texas A and m 2001 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:01,439 Speaker 2: You didn't want to put him in Miami because they 2002 01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 2: thought it would be a disadvantage to play in Miami 2003 01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:04,200 Speaker 2: against Miami. 2004 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:04,840 Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? 2005 01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,479 Speaker 2: That's a Buckeye home game, Texas A and m If 2006 01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:09,760 Speaker 2: it's Texas A and M and Dallas, that's Aggie, that's 2007 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:10,400 Speaker 2: Aggie Land. 2008 01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's I don't understand that though, thanks for nothing.
