Man, we need to 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.560 redo the show to say that I feel on the 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:50.040 on the mental state. I'm bookmark this talk about I 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.960 pull up to the to the house. They say in 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:57.880 the crib that sounds like class.

Toothy, thank you for 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.360 telling us. That's the reason why I do the mental 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:14.760 check in. Definitely. They always showing signs, so make sure 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.120 you keep up with the signs. But man, look last night, 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.800 if y'all were watching football last night, we were all 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:26.880 were looking at it football. Yes, we were all looking 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.920 forward to that game last night. Uh the Georgia Bulldogs 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:36.120 Versity horn frosts from TCU and man, what excitement? Who'd 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.280 you picked? I picked Georgia. I think I picked Georgia too. No, no, no, 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.640 you use some about TCU, I said, n cc No, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:52.760 come on, I told you he campaign manager. He went there. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:57.880 But with my heart, I said, I with my heart? 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.680 Did I want to know what I'm saying? Used with 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:08.280 mattress mac La, I told mat I said, matt went 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:14.520 at full fourth. Oh my god, I yeah, man, that's 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.200 I was giving away free furniture a year. Man, Man, 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:22.120 how do you come anyway? A lot of furnaces? Yeah, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.480 I was in high school. Matric Mac was the guy 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.760 when he commercials all over the place. Really, I got 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:33.360 that bread bread? But man, what sixty five to seven? Basketball? 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.279 Sixty five to seven? And it looked it was a 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.720 point in this game where I was like somebody needed 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.400 to come out, like committee need to get together and 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.160 say stop this. Put the running clocks. Stop this. They 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.880 do it in the high school. They do it in 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.960 high school. They do the running clock in high school. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.760 Because that thing could have gotten ugly. That could have 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.080 gotten really bad if y'all think about it. They played 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.640 for four quarters of that first team all the way. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.800 I don't I don't even want to say what the 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:11.760 score could have been. Could have that thing sixty five? 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.039 That was bad? That was that was bad. But let 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.000 me get you guys, just take on what you saw 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.640 last night and and the fact that this is expanding 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.760 to ten more teams. Man, to be honest, I looked 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.800 at that and you could clearly see you know, TCU. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.320 Whatever the case may be, maybe they put all their 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.520 energy into that Michigan game. Whatever the case may be, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.480 but it just looked like they didn't belong on that 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.640 same field. Um with Georgia out there, man, I mean 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.640 you could tell from the jump, you know, since have 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.479 been at you know, whatever the case, maybe the guy 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.200 just had it going. I mean, he was out running 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.159 some of TCUs dbs, and I'm like, it's just not fair. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.080 And then we talked to CB earlier, the wonderful producer 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.080 that he is, and you could tell he could see 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.000 that the offers some lands was just getting pushed back 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.640 into Duggan's face the entire afternoon. Man. And so it 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.400 just to me, it's just a white TCU just didn't 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.960 belong and that the moment was just too big for him. Man, Yeah, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.679 I think I don't you know, goodness gracious, I watched 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.440 the game and it was confusing to me. While people 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.440 even thought that TCU had a chance. All right, the 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.960 truth of the matter is, Okay, Georgia is more talented. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.480 They got bigger, faster, stronger guys. The program and the 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.240 conference that they're in has prepared them more than the 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.960 conference that TCU was in, who lost to Kansas State 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.040 not even hanging a banner this year because the last state, 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.600 the big twelve, all right, and lets you know how 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.240 not good Michigan was and Ohio State was. They played 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.200 Georgia a little bit better, but it's just different levels 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.960 of competition and that's no and that's no knock against TCU. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.600 They had a great season, but you saw it out 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.360 there the same we talked about Winters last last week 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.560 and how how he stood out last week. Georgia had 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.560 that guy looking very average when he was talking. I'll 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.720 talking about multiple times you looked up and I was like, this, dude, 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.720 Winter is gonna make a play in the not It's 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.840 not him. But you see a different caliber of athletes 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.400 that go to a school like Georgia, who is now 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.400 a back to back national champion, and then a school 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.560 like TCU, So they got some catching up to do. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.760 Do they belong on that field? They belong on the 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.920 same field. It's Notre Dame when it comes to these 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.960 shots fire well when they come to these playoffs. Man, 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.480 when you go out there, they got one more time 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.280 to go out there and put that type of performance 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.200 up and they will be in the same the same 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.680 bucket as Notre Dame, who every time they go out 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.440 there they put up something that you just don't want 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.520 to watch. Yeah, well this was I don't want to 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.200 say bead wedding boyt TCU because he looked like from 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.520 the beginning they were outclass. You know, it's you know, 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.280 it's levels to it, and it's clear that the Georgia 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.400 Bulldogs was on another level. But where I worry is 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.280 with the expansion of more teams. I would just say it, man, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.199 Alabama would have been two lost. Alabama would have been 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.520 more physical than that. Man, I agree with you would 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:57.120 have proposed wover threat two lost. Tennessee would have, I believe, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.679 would have given you more than that. Teams. But if 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.840 you're going to say, let's give and I don't even 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.960 know who the twelfth team is, all right, but let's 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.319 just say a North Carolina a team like that, just 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:15.320 the ACC or wherever big twelve team, oh whomever, and 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.840 you put them in the same category as a Georgia 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:26.040 Right now, Man, that's that's right there. Just the speed alone. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.320 And I'm telling you right now, Ladd mccunkie, he opened 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:34.000 right now. Wherever he is, he wide open. He didn't open. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.680 I'm like, just man end he was. He was always 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:45.200 brock Bowers, he called rock bowers eat. He flexed him 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.080 out lining them up, old monster. Last time I see 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.720 the tight end he was out there. They was all ball. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.559 I mean they played in TCU and they looked at it. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.000 They looked at him like, hey man, we're finna guard. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:57.800 Were finna eat. I see a video these dudes eat 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.520 buffalo wings on the sideline. That was that little that's 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.720 disrespect before half time over there in a suite. Let 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.320 me get it. Let me get a bull pepper over, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:14.520 give me a peach drink wins. But to your point, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.880 all that's gonna end up being is uh a SEC 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.960 West champion, SEC East champion, and then one of the 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.760 big ten champions are gonna be the final three in 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.200 the final three or four of that every town, every 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.839 every time after you get past the first round, which 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.160 it may be one or two interesting games, because at 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.480 that point you're gonna have some of those teams that 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.640 you name, North Carolina, Utah somewhere playing in those games 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.240 against each other, and it's gonna be like, it's gonna 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.920 look like oh, they're ready, like USC, yeah, they can 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.199 do it. And then if they move on, then you're 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.319 gonna see that the upper echelon of talent, the Georgia's, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.920 the Tennessee's, the Alabama's, the LSUS Ohio states, those are 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.080 gonna be the same teams that end up in the 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.840 in the championship every single time, no matter how big 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.760 how much you explained the playoffs. Do you say to yourself, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.079 I mean, because obviously probably the commonality we all the 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:12.600 college athletes for you guys coming up during the time, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.199 just like me, when they couldn't they couldn't pay you, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.920 pay you any money. But now with the NIL deal, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.600 transfer portal and all of that, people are saying, Okay, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.600 now the transfer of power through our college football should 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.280 be the great equalizer. Now where George doesn't get to 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.040 hoard all of the talent, Alabama doesn't get the hoard 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:35.720 all the talent you see some of the classes at 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.880 the University of Texas is getting And so you're asking yourself, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.640 you know, can they can these other teams make up 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.480 the difference. TCU will never know what it's like to 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.320 be on that level, but they found out last night 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.280 that these are the kinds of things that you have 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.360 to recruit in order to beat h Georgia. Do you 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.679 believe that with the nil and the transfer a portal 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.959 that that maybe that would be a deterrent from SEC 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.559 teams pretty much running the table. Let me, let me 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.760 tell you something else about the SEC. They also have 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.400 the best coaches. The Nick Saban Tree, which is where 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:11.760 Kirby Smart came from. Is now back to back national chances, right, 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.920 and then the championships the Nick Saban one on the 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.120 west side of that as well, right. And then you 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.240 sprinkle something in and there. Every once in a while 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.560 you get an LSU in there, you get Ohio State 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.920 in there. But for the most part, the coaching is 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.080 different from those upper echelon schools as well as the talent. 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.680 So it's not just it's not you can just go 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.080 buy great, great players and then not put them in 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:34.959 the right position to be out there and go make 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.880 those plays. You also have to have the coaching and 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.959 these big ten schools, the top two that up there, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:47.920 Michigan State, Ohio State, Ohio State more than that, and 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.200 then of course the big two in the SEC would 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.040 be Alabama and uh right now Georgia. Yeah, the coach 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.560 is just different. Yeah, coaching definitely matters. And like you said, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:57.880 I mean, you got the best of the best in 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.080 the SEC. The only chance that those kind of outside 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.120 the SEC conferences have is if they can get a quarterback, 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.520 because I mean, we see that's the biggest difference in 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.480 these in these schools that you're going to get powerhouse 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.120 like sen him and he ain't the greatest of all time, 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.280 but everything around him is the greatest of all time. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.199 The only way to be able to combat that is 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.120 if you got that guy behind the helm that can 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:17.800 play well. And if you look at Ohio State, they 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.200 had Strout and he him in his connection with his receivers, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.280 they was getting Georgia everything they could have, all right. 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.600 So I think if you can get these quarterbacks to 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.880 come to these different conferences, then you got a chance. 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.360 But I mean they gotta be something extremely special because 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.280 we see what we're dealing with an SEC. Like you said, 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.840 they're all bigger, faster, or stronger in that division. And 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.920 you talk about defenses. Not only is the top eleven 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.040 you know, good, but the people that are backing them 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.079 up they're getting drafted as well. I mean, I'm sure 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.360 there's some cats from Georgia that's gonna get drafted that 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.439 maybe seen ten snaps all year long. I mean, there's 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.880 just depth on top of depth in the SEC. And 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.559 that's really what puts them beyond these other schools is 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.640 that they just got so much powered onto it that 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:55.599 you can go through that first layer and be like, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.600 all right, we may we weather to storm, and here 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.640 comes that second layer that's just as good. I mean, 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.480 it's just let me church real quick, because he said 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.439 greatest all time. Greatest all time college football team is 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.280 the LSU team of twenty nineteen, not the Georgia team 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.200 of last night. So I mean, listen, I I you know, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.640 you put them two teams on the field, and the 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.400 LSU team is beating at Georgia team. You know what 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.720 I'm gonna tell you Like this, I'm i tend to 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.640 agree with you simply because they definitely had the better quarterback. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:29.000 In quarterback and receivers. You can watch what they're doing now. 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:34.720 But that that defense for Georgia had many defense wasn't 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.720 as good as George's. But our offense was better than that. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.520 That's what it been a good game. But Georgie's offense 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.840 is not not world beat is either, So our deepense 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.640 may have some respect for yourself. Bear Toledo would have 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:51.160 put up at least twenty one. I can't, I can't 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:56.120 go with you. I fall out. I told them, yeah, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.120 we'd have got Yeah, where are you? Sixty five seven? 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:06.080 I know that church and we seen them before, the 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:12.520 two walking to the locker room the third quarter. Damn 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.160 you hate to see it. Yeah, my first shout out TCU. Man, 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.080 they made it. That's that's one of those. Every once 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.400 in a while you have those stories, those Cinerella stories, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.040 and they just didn't end off Cinderella ending for the 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.760 Cincinnati Yeah, Cincinnati. Did they get smacked or do they 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.280 make it? At least a game? I forgot say it happens, bro, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.800 you have no business. It's like you don't have no 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.840 business out here. Man, you need to go back over 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:39.800 there and play with the rest of the last one 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:44.320 was who Oklahoma with Mayfield was the last one when 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:49.400 it when it was it was close Georgia, so that 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.120 that may have been the last time. But guys, we're 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.000 gonna talk about some cowboys here while we have a 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.240 few minutes before we go to break Um. Did you 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.640 get it out of your system yesterday? Did you did 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.880 you feel like you imput your buckets on the negativity? 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.520 I mean, now we have to we have to start 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.200 to you know, draw the circle the wagons, to start 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.400 talking about this, this victory on Monday victory. Yeah, we 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.880 gotta start talking about victory on this playoff week. Are 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.080 you saying, do we feel better about the game. Yes, 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.480 If I'm being completely honest, I don't. Yeah, I don't 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.040 feel any better than I did on the other day. No, no, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.160 no limit. Let me not say that. Not better about 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.520 the game, better about the fact that the season is 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:33.240 over and that you have a new season in the playoff. Okay, yeah, 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:34.640 if you if you look at it that way, that's 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.360 the only way you can't look at the gotta you know, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.560 it's a fresh seat. Everybody got a chance. Everybody got 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.000 to chance. The only way you get the only way 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:43.880 you get to the super Bowl is in the playoffs. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.680 So I mean you can't get this step right. It's 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.840 crazy that you that's how you went from TCU, where 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.200 everybody got a chance, they made the playoff. I'm just 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.040 now you're talking about oh you count. Yeah, we gotta 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.400 say I'm happy. I'm happy. I'm happy that the season 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.840 is over with and hopefully the pages turned and they 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.080 forgot about everything that happened in the regular season and 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.240 we become a new team. That is the hope. That 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.800 is the hope that we somehow become the team that 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.680 was running the ball, playing good defense and protecting the ball. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.680 That is the hope. And today you have a practice, 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.880 no off today, Tomorrow they come back for a practice, 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.639 and there's a lot to be worked on and a 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:24.200 lot to talk about and sit down and circle and 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.280 underline and say, look, we need to fix this. Possibly 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.080 the left side of your defense at the cornerback position. Yeah, 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.000 tell us how you really feel bar under attack man 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.960 and you're not going against you know, a guy that 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.080 you know, maybe he's in his you know, eighth year 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.240 or sixth year, that's just kind of rounded into his form. 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:48.720 You might be able to trick him here and there. 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.520 You're going to get some man that's been in the 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.840 league or twenty twenty some years now. I've seen every 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.840 defenser is out there. It's hard to disguise your defense 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.480 and trying to talk him into something. The only way 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.520 you get to this man's skin, and the only way 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.680 you kind of get this guy down into the dumps 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.959 or take advantage of him is if you can get 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.439 pressure on. If you can get pressure on that man, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.520 particularly up the middle, then you got a chance. Because 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.439 we all know he's not the most athletic guy, all right, 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.520 He's a quarterback that loves to be in that pocket, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.800 loves to be in his spot. Stay in his spot 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.200 and try to dissect your defense that way. If this 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.880 was week six, week fall, week five, when this defensive 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.880 line was humming getting six sacks of game type deal, 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.520 I'd be like, I'm feeling pretty good. But when we've 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.400 seen these past couple of weeks, besides last week when 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.679 they were going again Sam Hound got three sacks, they 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.240 haven't been doing much as far as pressure in the quarterback. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.560 And if you give Tom Brady time back there, it 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.440 doesn't matter who you got on that defensive side of 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.680 the football, he's gonna be able to dissect you because 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.840 what he does well is he takes what the defense 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.120 gives you. If you're backing off and playing his zone, 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.640 all I'm gonna thotis old check down to Leonard Fournette. Alright, 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.400 I'm ana Thotis hit to the tight end real quick. 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.520 He may take a shot here and there, but he's 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.439 gonna take what the defense gives you. He's gonna he's 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.240 gonna try to kill you with a thousand cuts. We 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.320 all understand that about Tom Brady. So unless they can 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.560 get pressure, man, it's gonna be a long afternoon. Yeah, 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.840 And I'm pigging back up what you said on one 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:10.919 of those points of like, yeah, if you don't disrupt 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.119 the timing of Tom Brady and his receivers at some point, right, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:15.520 if you just want to play off a play zone 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.920 the whole time, but you're not jamming guys and throwing 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.800 them off they paths when they're running up to see 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.919 him or trying to get across the field. Yeah, that's 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.240 when he gets the ball out in two seconds and 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.360 he nickel adopts you right, hit those six yard hits here, 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.359 throw it to the flat here, throw it, throw it 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.399 to the flintifourd now for seven yards before you know, 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.320 there's a twelve play drive for eight minutes and a touchdown. 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.160 Like you have to find a way one to get 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.000 some pressure on them and throw the timing off on 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.320 these routes right through the timing off on it, and 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:44.680 then you got a shot. And I think that's the 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.199 only chance we have a winning this game is if 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.480 our defense comes out and wins this game for and 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.600 and so, what I'm what I'm really alluding to, guys, 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.680 is the fact that the big playability of the Washington 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.440 Commanders had to have troubled you, especially seeing the way 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.200 that Sam Howe was fitting the ball into Scared Terry 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:04.960 and and dots Um. One player McKenzie Alexander was bought 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.639 in uh last month, I believe now on the practice 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.919 squad and has been rumored to be on the active 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:24.080 roster better one game season right now. And so and so, 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.800 going off of what you're saying, you're saying, Look, you 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.240 solve all of that by getting your pass rush back. Okay, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.600 you solve all of that by getting Tom Brady off 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:37.000 of his spots and get making him uncomfortable. That's still 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:42.639 relying on your front. Okay, talk about me selling hoping him. No, 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:44.800 but that's that's essentially what you have to do to 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.159 win this game. But at some point your secondary is 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.439 gonna have to hold up on the left side. Right now, 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.600 a cross from Trey Von Diggs. We have been suffering 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.680 and whether it be with d N Bland, whether it 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.480 be with National Right, it doesn't matter who we put 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.960 over there that has been the weak. This link is 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.159 that something this week is you're working in practice? How 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.920 do you get that fixed on a moment's notice, going 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.479 in versus Tall? They gotta send help, all right, They 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:12.760 got to send help, Like I understand, like Diggs on 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.080 the side that he's on, man, I think dig is 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:17.640
