I meant 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.680 to ask you, is that hey Richmond shirt you got? 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:38.440 Oh no, it's the designer. Name is Spider, not Richmond Spider. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.280 I'm gonna show Tim Hottow. 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.360 Because that looks like kind of the same logo that they. 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.000 No, no, no, no, this is the name of the 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.360 design the spider. You get caught in my whale. 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.320 But who is Richmonds? What spider? 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.960 No, No, that's the messcot for Richmond. They got a spider. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.920 That's why I was confused, because I thought he just 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:53.239 got some. 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:54.920 Well, well you should have noticed one Richmond because of 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:55.880 the culis. 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.480 And I thought maybe your son had got some beer 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.960 and you got hooked up, and yeah, that's what I. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.319 I'm not really one of those guys that wear other 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.039 schools gear. It's gonna be MISSIPI state or nothing. 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.760 I gotta keep my ee out for that. Now. I 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.000 feel I feel like you've. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.039 Worn Now if my daughter signed and. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.320 You got other contingencies to worry about. 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.080 It, well, my oldest daughter go to O miss I 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.039 would never like never wear that. I mean when I 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.360 had to go down to take her to school and 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.640 they was like I had a name tag for me, 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:23.720 No miss on it. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.000 I didn't wear it. 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:25.720 I wouldn't wear it. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.280 Wouldn't wear it. Not in your blood, not gonna do it. Well, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:33.160 sorry about that little sidetrack spiders spiders spider gear. But 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.800 we're the NFC East leaders. Boys. I feel so good 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.840 and that's pretty exciting. You believe yeah fourn two And 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.640 I mean obviously that the rest of the division is 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.360 kind of struggling right now and it feels good to 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.759 kind of be on the uh on the right track. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.840 So speak you know, we're on the right track, and 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.800 we've proven we can win several different ways, and this 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.840 is what's the most impressive thing to me. We can 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.840 out fast if you want to, we can out physical. 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.120 If you want to, we can beat your own defense. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.040 We could beat you on best your teams and we 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.200 flash you on our fence. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:02.880 You gotta love that. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.120 Yeah, absolutely. And then also we're second in the NFC 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.760 as a whole, which is pretty cool. And I don't 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.079 know that the math there is a little bit weird. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.240 Yeah, the math is math because one game. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.000 I know, so, yeah, but to be in that group 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.080 of Detroit Lions, the Vikings, those are for sure playoff 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.520 teams and to be third second, however, we're in there. 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.760 When that mixes, it's also pretty cool shows you kind 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:23.639 of where the team is at. 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:24.240 All right. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.560 So now let's recap the Panthers game. And this is 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.359 a tough game for me to recap because I'm really excited. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.600 It's always good to win a game by you know, 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.040 forty points, thirty four points. But to me, the Panthers 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.680 were not good bad football. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:38.560 That ain't our job. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.120 The job is to play who's on the schedule when 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.480 every day arrived to the game. We have nothing to 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.840 do with this. We used to beat the Panthers, all right, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.480 we did years ago, Like we was going through the 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:50.040 same thing. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:50.880 The Panthers down. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.160 The one thing we know about a fish, it rotted 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.280 from the head down, from the head down. And this 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.880 what's wrong with the Panthers day, a rotten from the 0:02:59.040 --> 0:02:59.560 head down. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.280 Actually didn't know that about the fish. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.800 Yes, they ride from here down from the brain. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.880 Okay, all right, But but you said something though that 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.639 I think is maybe the biggest thing. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.080 No, I think one of the things that you know, 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.680 folks always trying to move the gold posts back. I mean, 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.680 I think as as a team, your job is to 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.320 go out there and win, you know. I mean, that's 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.880 the ultimate goal. And regardless up there having winners, a 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.520 record or not, that's not us. You know, that's not 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.400 for us to worry about. Yeah, our job is to 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.960 take care of business. Now. One of the things that's 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.400 most important about what we have shown this year against 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.160 those teams that aren't or hasn't been good. Yeah, we're 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.640 stepping on that throat. We are showing you that. Okay, 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.680 if you don't play good football, then we're going to 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:39.200 show the world. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.720 Get across my lap for that. 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.440 But you can't always find some something to nit pick about. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.080 But that's just life. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.320 That just shows you who are we? Who we are 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.040 as humans. Man, We're going to find a reason to 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.400 folt also say that we're not worthy of what we've 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:52.840 been shown. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.280 Listen, I enjoyed watching the Monday Nights games because what 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.040 the Ravens did to the Bucks compared to how we 0:03:59.080 --> 0:03:59.640 played them. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.040 That's what I was looking at. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.839 Lamargo's for five touchdowns and the keen hear him, son, Dude. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.360 Listen to me, they can't hear. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.640 It also shows you, too, man, just how things can change. 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.040 They went from a touchdown men dropped to a turnover 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.200 and that that turned the game, and then you lost 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.479 that key player who dropped that touchdown. It was a 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.599 swing of things that happened right then and there in 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.520 the front of our face. And to me, I think 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.479 that changed the game. That changed the floor of the game, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.680 and that that changed the Bucks and put them in 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.400 a situation to where now they're trying to chase. They're 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.640 chasing I get through another pick, you know what I mean. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.159 So that's why it's vital man to go out there 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.320 and and try to hold onto the football and put 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:39.880 up points. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.400 I was more at pressed this week with Mary Oda Yea. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.360 Let's be honest, like this guy came in here and listen. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.800 The offense did not take a step back. They stayed 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.440 on schedule. They didn't they didn't have to change anything. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.120 That's why I love having a backup that mimics the starter. 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.120 I always hate when the team has a starter. They 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.120 could do something and they got to back up, just 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:06.440 totally different. The offense stayed on schedule, they made big plays, 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.080 and the defense showed up. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.880 They showed up. Man, guess what, I can't wait. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.880 I was so happy to see another guy added to 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.760 the Forbes list. Andy Dalton is now on the Forbes Listen, 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:18.880 you don't mean you're big in there? 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.480 How many not this time? How many people are on 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.280 the Forbes list right now? Two people? Right then? Who's 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:22.680 the other one? 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.640 That's no, Russell Wilson. Russe Wilson is on the fully. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.880 But yeah, but it's like that, It's like a baseball 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.040 player with the yips, Like sometimes you just need to 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.360 see one go over the game and I think, now 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.520 he got their pick. Confidence is everything for a cornerback, 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.520 like confidence is everything. So just seeing one go over 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.680 the gate man, you know it's gonna keep. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.880 Building now, that meant the world to me. I mean 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.760 just seeing him go out there and be able to 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.520 make that play just knowing what he's been through last year, 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.440 earlier this year. Man, it's great and I think that's 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.279 you said it. It builds confidence. Is gonna now, you know, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.200 unleash some of that stuff that he had going on. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.560 Mentally, Yeah, he won't be scared to go jump a play. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.160 He won't be afraid too, because it's like I got 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.240 some collateral. I got some collateral. 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.440 Not bad, but man, thinking about Joe Whitt and how 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.960 he puts guys in position, Now you see that you 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.599 got a guy that he's reading, he's showing. I'm sure 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.040 you show him that, you know, you know this week 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.320 because the way he saw that route and saw that stem, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.800 he immediately knew what was he was already under. That 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.000 tells me that it was Will coached. And now Joe 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.039 Wickers say, Okay, I got a guy who's going to 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:25.799 be able to do this, So now let me play 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.520 a defense. You know that's going to be bingo. 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.760 That's what I'm talking Atah, And you mentioned the like 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.520 how he read the pick. You know, you talk about 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.960 reading the formation, reading like they're in a tight formation, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.440 kind of almost a stack. 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:37.120 Uh. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.520 Donte Johnson presses out and then man kind of works 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.880 the inside shoulder. And for me, I don't play dB, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.680 but I run enough, I run enough Rotster watching the 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.080 film to know like, if you do that, you're probably 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.880 not going back out. Yeah. Right, So great job by 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.839 Forbes is sitting on a trust. Trust what you see. 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.360 And I think you know, Tanny, you said this too. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.480 They probably saw that on film and definitely definitely popped. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.360 The other thing I wanted to say about the game 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.320 and winning and all this kind of stuff and beating 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.640 a bad football team is, you know, we've covered this 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.040 team for a long time. We've watched this team for 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.320 a long time. How many times have they not beaten 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:16.440 bad teams? Like I think about I think about like 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.840 last year Chicago, they were all banged up and we 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.480 lost that game. The Giants that they came in with. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.640 Yeah whoever they got twice. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.240 Yeah, But you know what I'm saying, like and this 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.040 is this is like what you're supposed to do. And 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:31.640 one of the things we were concerned about on the 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.560 preview show last week was like can they handle a 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.640 kind of an emotional lull. They have the Baltimore's, They've 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.720 got the Cincinnatis. It's easy to get for those games. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:42.800 Can you do what you're supposed to do in this game? 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.800 And to me like this is this informs so much 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.400 about the character of the team, and I think fans 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.520 forget that. They forget that, like it's this is an 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.800 emotional thing we're doing playing football. We did and for 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.560 them to be able to say, okay, you know, Baltimore, 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.160 tough loss and then bounce back and just absolutely curb stopping. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.400 And they stopped the team that's very good at running 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.880 the ball. Let's be honest. They spent a lot of 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.760 money on their office line. To you behooved, it's fifth 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.040 in the league. When it come to Russia, it didn't 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:10.480 look like. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.960 Before we got to the game on Sunday, the question 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.640 was act at nauseam is about the whole This is 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.360 the team you should be, This is the team you 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.160 should you know, uh, you know, I guess you could 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.640 say boat race. And the best answer or the best 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.000 you know comment I've ever heard from a coach when 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.319 when he was asked that, Dan Quinn say, I'm glad 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.720 we're the guys that you're asking that. I'm glad we're 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.959 the guys in the inside because we get a chance 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.880 to not worry about what's going on outside. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:39.920 We don't care us. 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.600 So before they played the game, I've already was assured 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:43.960 that many these guys gonna come out here and do 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.079 their thing, and they did just that. They went out 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.520 there and play phenomenally. So I just feel like, man, 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.240 we've been saying it. You know, these guys are well coached. 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.240 These guys have the right guys in the building to 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:54.240 kind of follow, you know. 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.320 And I'm telling I'm really glad you brought that up 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.360 because we talk about dan and culture all the time, 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:02.480 and I think that's a really good understanding of how 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.840 to build a good culture and the potential pitfalls. Yeah, 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:06.959 you know, like understanding that this could be an issue 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:07.200 for us. 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.200 Not no more with this coaching group. Right, they win, 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.520 they're not too high. Listen to the interviews. Yeah, they 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.839 just kind of dull. How y'all feel about the win? 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.920 You know, we did what we need to do. We 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.800 have some stuff to clean up. Back to the drawing board, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.680 so they don't get too high on wins. They don't 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.280 get too allows, stay right there in the middle. And 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.120 like they said, we ain't worried about that other team. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.640 We're worried about us as we do what we supposed 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:31.920 to do, win games. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.560 Yeah, And we talked a little bit about Marcus Mariota, 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.600 and you talked about the defense, and I think that's 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.200 maybe the biggest story coming out of the game is 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.080 just how well they played on that side of the football. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.440 Obviously there's things to clean up, no doubt about it, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.120 but they get two turnovers and think about the game flow, 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.240 first drive interception pick six, Yeah, and then they get 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.040 you know that, I think it's the next drive or 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.000 two drives after that, it's the Forbes interception. The drive 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.920 after that one is the fourth down stop. So basically 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.240 the defense scored twenty one points, like, not not exactly 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:03.119 twenty one. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.080 But they did. They injected it. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.080 And so when the team's good at running the football 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.280 like game flow is the best way to get them 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.160 out of it doing now. Yeah, And I just think 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.120 like the defense deserves a ton of credit for again, 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.160 the ball's life. They did a good. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.880 Dunte Filer is having right now the best start of 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:19.920 any year he's had. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.480 In his career, and this game was an absolutely yeah. 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.559 So it reminds me of the curve growing curve of one. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:32.080 Lorenzo Alexander Zoe started off very slow, but once he 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.800 got it, he became a Pro Bowl player. And it's 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.959 like that late bloomer like, that's what I'm getting. That's 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.440 the feel I'm getting from Fouler right. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.960 What I love seeing too is just one week we 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.720 see I guess you could say Lous in that position 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.280 where he's doing some of the things, and then you 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.920 see follow doing it, and to me, it just shows 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.079 you about how key it is to get the guys 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.360 that fit what you're trying to do dramatically, you know 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.520 what I mean, And when you can have multiple guys 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.840 that can go on in and be able to mimic 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.319 something that you've done before, that makes you that much 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.200 more valuable or makes those guys much more valuable for 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.920 our defense. And not to say, you know, we don't 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.240 talk a lot about this guy, but Jamie Davis was 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:14.040 in there on where I'm seeing him do some similar things. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.320 So it's just man, just great to see, you know, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.160 our makeup. I think our makeup is what to me 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.839 is one of the biggest reasons why we were able to 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.280 go out here and play the kind of football we're 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.880 playing because we have the right guys for what we. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.000 Want to do, and obviously followers had a great year 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.439 so far. I think he's got four and a half sacks. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.400 He leads the team, which I don't know if anybody 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:33.679 expected that. I know he was going to be a 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.640 productive pass rusher, but for him to be that productive, 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.320 frank you lover has four gets another one in this game. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.560 And I think when you look at obviously the front, 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.719 you know without John Allen, I think dudes kind of 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.440 finding his way a little bit. Yeah, got got pushed around. 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.680 I think he's a fun player to watch, gets pushed around. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:49.920 Gott to grow in that area a little bit. 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.640 Ye is young, young bu. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:54.840 Big Field did some good things. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.319 But I tell you one thing, and I want to 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.480 get to before you say it, damn ain't brought the 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.439 pain a whole lot. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:04.880 You did a great job. And so that whole front 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.720 right did a great job. But I think the group 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.079 that I was probably and I expected them to have 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.439 a good game, but it was good to see them 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:11.959 have a good game when they should have a good 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.320 game is a secondary bay. They did a great job 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.920 and to that end, also I thought Joe wood Un 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.160 did a really good job of disguising some stuff. Hey, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.600 we got single high. Actually you know we're in Tampa two. Oh, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.600 it looks like we're bringing pressure to the left. Actually 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.360 we're bringing to the right. We get free runners. And 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.320 it was subtle stuff, little stuff. It just felt like 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.240 and the game plan felt a little bit tight, a 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.240 little bit of streamlined. But I think I let the 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:34.920 guys play fast. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.880 But I'm ben say when you when you tighten up 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.920 the game plan, that mean you only want us to 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.440 play fans. We're gonna run these four coverages and we're 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.000 gonna run them all day long and repeat it like 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.640 like when when we when we see the office repeat stuff. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.960 You won't run it twice, not if we're gonna be 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.000 in the same stuff and allows to like you think loan, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.319 you think wrong. When it comes to the defensive backfield, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.440 we are reactive, not proactive. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:58.640 And this is a week two where you can't do that. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.040 Like you know, Canalys is a really good offensive mind, 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.280 but it's a little bit formulaic. So yeah, why do 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:05.920 I need to get crazy complicated? 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:06.280 I don't. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.360 I don't like, let's just do us and do it 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:09.439 really well and play fast. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.680 I think it was so great, just to see as spurts. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.240 He had where he brought the pressure and it was 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.240 vital to what they was doing offensively, because if you 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.319 think about it, one play they had legged out there 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.360 by himself with the screen. If you don't put that 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.840 pressure on Dalton and he gets to set up and 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.520 throw that, it's no one over there, it's wing grass. 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.920 But that's what I'm saying about. That's how that's how 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.360 important it is to be sound and everything you're doing. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.880 Those guys up front got to the quarterback just so, 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.120 just quick enough for him to get rattled and throw 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.960 the ball away, you know what I'm saying. So stuff 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.439 like that, Man, they plan together. It shows you how 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.120 valuable it is for all eleven men to be out 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:43.760 there playing together. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.280 Just the double click on that, Like that's Fouler again. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.240 They're and cover two Fred. They motioned to a three 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.320 by one, so they motioned the receiver away. So it's 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.600 just a tight end numb there. Yeah, you can see Fowler. 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.360 Look Saint Juice is on the ball. He's the court, 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.840 he's the cover two player, he's the outside run player. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.480 He says, I don't need to be out I contain 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.920 and he spikes so hard of an inside gap and 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.640 is able to get that pressure. So again, because it's simple, 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.600 I know the adjustments, we can play fast. I know 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.920 that there's a there's a run forced player outside of me. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:13.800 I can be aggressive to the sea gap here and 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.400 I end up getting a pressure in it and the 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.240 ball is incomplete and the next play is the interception interception. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.200 So it's it all stacks up, it's all significant. But 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.240 I thought it was really really well. Then again, like 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.040 we talked a little bit about stopping the run, they 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:27.920 did a good job of that. But at times you 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.600 see some areas where that can still be better. But 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.040 I expect that to improve because the staff every single week, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.440 they're very intentional about finding ways to improve. Yeah, all right, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.160 let's talk a little bit about the offense. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.880 I doubt it was nick Man. You hear nicks Man. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.240 You hear every coach say that, I. 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.920 Think this this roster is truly built for nicks Man up. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:51.000 I say it. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.360 I like my my backup to mimic my starter. When 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.280 it comes to quarterback, I feel like Mariota came in 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.800 there and it. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:14:59.520 Looked the same. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.239 It didn't like the office did not change. So kudos 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.200 to the offensive staff. Kudos to the offensive coordinator, but 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.920 just saying, you know what, we're not backing down because 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.080 our backup is in here. We're gonna put the pedal 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.920 to the metal. I'm not gonna lie. Initially, it didn't, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:20.600 you know, Initially you saw the rush that hasn't been playing, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.800 that hasn't got a chance to really have this meaningful 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:27.640 kind of you know, playtime. And he was just hurt 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:28.720 a couple of weeks ago. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.960 He was so so it didn't initially, but I will 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.440 say this, when it did start unraveling for him and 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.320 for the defense when they couldn't put putting hands on him, 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.680 he showed that just like any guy who played. You know, 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.960 we talked about this, use this term, you know for 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.280 basketball players, if you're not a jump shooter, what's the 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.800 next best thing is to get a layup? 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:50.080 Yep. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.640 And so when he started using his feet and got 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.440 those runs in Dow, the field open up for him, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.200 and now he was able to will and deal. We 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:58.600 were just talking about it before you got in here, 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.000 fred Man. And it went through one spur of plays 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.120 where it was he was on three, yeah, you know, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.400 for three, and then the next one it was the 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.400 two men and dry and he will. It was almost 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.680 you know, no drops, no balls on the ground, and 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.040 then we go and score a touchdown. So it was 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.320 great to see how it unraveled. It was great to 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.000
