Who knew. No, 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:37.679 we had a we had a hot chocolate station in 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:38.960 the press box too. That was new. 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.200 Oh yeah, well that was That was Danielle Burns, I know. 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.560 And she did a terrific job. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.880 And she made it very festive with these little jars 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.360 filled with like, yeah, chocolate covered and yogurt covered prets, 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:52.760 little candies and. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.760 Yeah, yeah, it's very good. It was a nice tree. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.000 It made it very festive. And so did the win. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.640 Yeah I did it. I didn't notice about Christmas Eve. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.800 I thought the locker I made a point of saying 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.680 this to a couple of people on Wednesday when we 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.160 were here in the locker room for the open locker 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:09.640 room session. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.200 Uh huh. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.400 The locker room was very lively this week, like a 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.880 lot of guys in different pockets were having a lot 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.959 of fun and being loud and joking around. 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:19.359 Before the game or after. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.360 On Wednesday for the game, Oh here, yes, yeah, I 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.080 thought vibe. I thought the vibe was fantastic in the 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.480 locker room. And that doesn't necessarily mean anything, you know, 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.400 but afterwards, if you try to make connections and go, well, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.600 you could tell they were loose. You know, they're feeling it. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.720 There could be something to that. It's not quantifiable. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.480 Well, no, but I think there's a lot to it. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:45.760 I think the cohesiveness of the team is really coming together. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.280 And I keep thinking about what Dave Canalis had said 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.720 in the very very beginning that it was going to 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.120 take a little bit of time, and it just seems 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.359 like it's it's coming together. And when you have success, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.960 of course, it breeds success. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.840 Success breeds belief. There you go, and then that makes 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.320 the you know, the players are buying in, they know 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.560 it works. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.200 Right, It has been for the last four weeks. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.240 Yeah, we're talking about now a thirty to twelve win 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.880 over Jacksonville, which really wasn't even that close. They got 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.600 a couple of garbage time touchdowns when the Bucks were 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.320 playing the kind of defense that you play in order 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.400 to make them run the clock off. And before that 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.000 they the Jaguars couldn't do much of it all. I mean, 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.600 they put up some yards, especially in the passing game, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.359 not in the running game, but the Buccaneers defense was 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:38.920 swarming and creating turnovers, four of them in fact, after 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.760 which we commediately yeah, yeah, the first drive Devin White. Yeah, 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.119 which is an interesting story. That's a whole other thing. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.320 So we didn't talk about it a lot last week. 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.360 Well, there was really nothing to talk about. 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.680 I thought it had been kind of talked about more 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.120 than it shut out. Yeah, but Devon had not played 0:03:55.120 --> 0:04:00.000 for three weeks and coach Bulls had told him before 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.920 the Green Bay trip once he told Coach Bowls before 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.560 the premay trip that he didn't think he was ready 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:09.040 to go right, he had been dealing with a foot injury. Well, 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.560 he came back in this game and did not start 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.240 the game. kJ Britt did, which gives you the impression 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.960 that he was, that Devin White was was there to 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.440 play in Nickel Peck. Now, the thing that happened. 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.400 Was we played a lot of nickel. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.640 They played about eighty seven percent of their snaps with 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.680 three receivers, so we were in nickel pretty much the 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.560 whole game. So Devin White actually went back to playing 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.080 almost a whole game. Yeah, and kJ Briddle he played 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.000 three snaps. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.719 Right, crazy, right, But the good news is they both 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:38.320 can play. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.800 We like both of them, right, Yeah, that's good. And 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.080 uh so Devin White makes the story just I mean, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.440 you can't you can't write this stuff. First drive, third down, 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:51.120 he intercepts the pass right, uh and it was. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.400 A really nice play, which which just ignited the whole stadium. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.680 And when that happened, you kind of thought, okay, fine, 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.560 And not only that, but they scored. So when you 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.560 start scoring off of turnovers, that's everything. 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.120 Yes, I agree, And we scored on the first three. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.760 The last one we weren't really even trying that hard 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:12.520 to score anymore. 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.479 After the no, no, no, it looked like, yeah, it 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.800 looked like the foot got off the gas pedal there 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:19.560 in the second half. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.440 I thought that to me the moment that made me 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.520 feel you know, there's sometimes these games are winning, even 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.360 in this point double digit lead, you should be feeling good, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.360 but I tend to think I'm waiting for the shoot 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.000 to drop. I shouldn't feel that way. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.320 I just remember, I just remember twenty eight to three. 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.440 That's all I ever remember. You're never And I also 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.280 remember some of our games were. 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.400 Ahead well and like the Houston game, you thought you 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.359 had that one. Well yeah, So the moment where I 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.480 stopped feeling that way was so they get the ball 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:54.480 to start the second half, right, they winning Jacksonville. They're winning. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.719 We're winning twenty to nothing. We're total control in the 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.000 first half. Yep. But I'm thinking if they go to 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.960 here and score on this one, it's going to be 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.880 a game. And then if they could stop us and 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.640 get another one, you know, then I'm going to start 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.360 to worry a little bit. Because jackson was a good 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.719 team and Lawrens is a good quarterback, so you don't 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.719 expect them to continue to struggle on offense, although he 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.440 did and then he got hurt and apparently he's not 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:21.600 practicing tomorrow because of a shoulder spring. Right then, yah 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.520 Yadi Yadi breaks through Saxon. This is on the first 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.360 drive of the second Saxon forces a fumble, recovers a 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.760 fumble and it's a short field and the Bucks score 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.560 another touchdown. It's twenty seven to nothing. And at this 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.599 point I'm like, okay, all right, this this is in 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.720 the bag. Maybe you shouldn't think of that because you. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.599 Could blood it was Christmas Eve. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.840 The Buccaneers have never blown a twenty seven point lead 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.360 to lose a game. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.640 No, so I think they blew a twenty six point lead. 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.640 Well no, no, no, it was twenty six to three 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.440 at the half back when the La Rams. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.839 Oh yeah, that was a Sunday night game on Yeah. 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.560 Yeah, yeah, but that was you're right, twenty six points. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.360 Yes, that was the game. That was the game where 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.600 ty J Armstrong like an eighty one yard touchdown. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.839 Yeah, that was a that was a I don't even 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:05.800 want to talk about that game. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.000 And so let's it wasn't It wasn't. It wasn't like 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:09.680 the indie game. And oh too though, because the what 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:10.280 year was that? 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:17.440 What, twenty sixty three three? Yeah, something in that neighborhood. 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.480 Well, you know, but it wasn't. That wasn't like, oh, 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.200 at ruin the season, you know it was a good season. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.960 And oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I know what you're. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.040 Yeah, so, uh, actually, the biggest lead we've oh we 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.000 have blown. Yeah no, no, we've blown the highest. The 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.760 biggest lead we've ever blown was twenty five points in 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.400 nineteen eighty seven to lose thirty one twenty eight to 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.960 the Saint Louis Cardinals. Yeah. I was not in Saint 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.600 Louis then, that was I was in my first year 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.840 of college November eighth, nineteen eighty seven. No, no, yeah, 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.160 that's right. Then the game you're talking about is tied 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.160 for second because we blew a twenty four point lead 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.320 against Washington. Remember that's the Kirk Cousins game like that, 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.640 And then the one you're talking about was a twenty 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.760 four point lead. So okay, I was right to feel 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:07.160 confident at twenty seven. Yes, okay, yeah, so I lost 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:08.960 everything there. Well I'm done, starts back up. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.520 What you're what you're talking about is when they finally 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:17.320 when he had that last lead. Well, haven't you finally 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.920 felt comfortable in the game. I never really feel comfortable. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.720 I begin too, but I always think, okay, don't don't 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.720 get overly excited, just yet, just keep keep going, stay 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.040 in the game, stay focused. What are we doing here? 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.520 I wasn't too worried. No, after that, and then we 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:37.640 got another field goal because Chase McLaughlin knocking wood never yesses. No, 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.800 he's up to twenty six of twenty eighth this year, 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.080 he made a fifty one yard He's six for seven 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:46.000 and fifty plus yarders, and he's tied right now with 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.240 Connor Barth, who had a twenty six or twenty eighth 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.480 season UH for the best field goal percent Engine team history. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.800 Right in a season, the guy's made fifteen in a row. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.600 I'm knocking on with everyone. I'm knocking on what. I 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.319 don't like to talk about it either. I don't want 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.480 to feel like a jinx. But you can't not ever 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.400 talk about how well your kicker's doing. Yes, get I mean, 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.120 I waited until you hit fifteen in a row to 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.160 mention that he hit fifteen round Now I say twelve 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:11.839 in a row before they. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.200 Got Well, you know, you know people don't you know, 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.840 we always say, don't say what's going to happen? Well, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.880 we were in somewhere deep into the third. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.600 Quarter or wherever we were. 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.960 And I went, I wonder when the last time we 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.040 had her shut out? And I pulled the book out, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.360 flipped it open. Where's my yellow marker? I found my 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.319 yellow marker highlighted. 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:32.120 Is it's been a while? 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.959 Yeah, well, no, it's only like twenty. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.920 I think it was we shut out in twenty I think. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.640 I'd have to remember off that. I don't remember who 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.640 it was. I'll tell you, but it wasn't very It 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.160 wasn't very long ago. I was kind of surprised by it. 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:47.280 It was that soon. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.280 It was you're wrong, by the way, when oh, no, ten, 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.439 it was twenty ten. I knew it had a twenty 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:53.080 in it somewhere. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.439 Scott, well most of them do. Oh it was twenty 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.920 one zero over San Francisco in on Halloween in twenty ten. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.959 Okay, so there you go. So it was a long time. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.600 It was thirteen years ago. But I highlighted it, and 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.360 of course they scored, and I was like. 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.520 But we did pitch a first half shutout. Yeah, for 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.160 the first time since I don't remember you saw my note. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.680 It's been a while, twenty twenty one maybe, right, So 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:27.319 that was fun. Baker Mayfield, can you say more than that? Dude, 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.760 we need to say more than that this. The Bucks 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:36.040 are streaking right now. The offense is scoring twenty or 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.880 twenty nine points per game over the last four weeks, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.400 and the biggest reason is Baker Mayfield. I mean, it's 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.400 all coming together. Like what you said about Dave Canals, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.160 it's true, but Baker's playing out of his mind. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.120 Right now, very much so. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.839 If you can't call this last one his best game 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.679 since he had a perfect passer rating the week. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.040 Before in Bay but he was just yeah, what a 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.640 bomer had a rough game last week? 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:55.199 Jeez? 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:55.960 What's he doing? 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.439 Not turning the ball over? Yep and taking advantage opportunities. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.760 I just get so concerned, like when he fights, when 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.079 he fights for the yardage, and I just like. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.320 Bake, come on, you're not going to take that out 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:12.560 of him. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.360 No, you can't take it. You can't. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.080 Part of who he is. That's it, that's that's part 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.199 of why the team loves him well well. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.560 As Tristan Worth said number six, he's a little guy, 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.280 but he's fiery a little guy. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.320 Only NFL would Baker Mayfield be considered a little Yeah. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.520 I love I loved it, But when you stand next 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.400 to Tristan Worfs, he could be not a little guy. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.480 Yeah, Tristan Worfs is not a little guy, so. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.760 Yeah, I think Baker just is. Uh. I like what 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.839 he said. He said he's having more fun now than 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.160 he has in the last five years. So look at 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.679 his five years. That includes being. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.920 A very good playoff season with Cleveland and. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:56.520 Yeah, and then also just being picked numbers all. Yeah, 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.920 and he's having more fun and I think that's why 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:00.920 playing so well. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.199 They need to go back to making those uh. I 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.400 don't remember what company was. It was commercials over where 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.400 the stadium was his house. Progressive progressive. Yeah, that's not 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.959 great when you remember the ad, but not who that's 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.000 not great for the company there was they. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.240 Did well years ago. There was a there's an ad 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:23.920 for Alka Seltzer and it was popizzzz it is. People 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.880 could sing the song, but they couldn't remember really Yeah. 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:32.800 And also there was there was also that commercial where 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:37.160 he some guy eats a pizza I don't know, Yeah, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.640 and it's the same thing. It was really funny, but 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.079 you couldn't remember the which was. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.760 The which was the UH which was the detergent brand 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:50.560 for ancient Chinese secret. Huh No that one. 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:55.439 No, I have no idea. Geez, what I don't know? 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.080 Okay, So Baker Mayfield, what was he in this game? 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.359 Let's see. I think it was like twenty. 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.640 Six was down? 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.680 He was down sixteen points. Going to disappointed. 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.000 Geez, he's at a slug. It can't stay consistent. 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.520 Over the last four weeks, his pass rating is just 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.440 a little north of one ten, which is third in 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.960 the NFL in that span. Actually, Derek Carr is fourth. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.160 By the way. He's playing better lately than people realize, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.360 but not as explosive. This time he didn't have quite 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.640 the same like last week he had. He averages something 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.360 like thirteen point two yards per ten, which is a 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.800 huge number. This one wasn't quite as explosive. But he's 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.920 getting the job done and moving the chains, moving the change. 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.360 We were again last week, we were over fifty percent 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.840 in third down R eight this week ten of nineteen, and 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.040 that includes at the end when we're running the ball 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.960 all the time, basically, although he did still complete some 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:55.480 trishure and it's Chris Godwin. People a few weeks ago 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.320 were concerned, but Chris Godwin's role in the offense, why 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.040 he wasn't get the ball. Over the last two weeks 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:07.400 or three weeks, you've seen why he has always been 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.200 and remains extremely important in this offense. And you see 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.320 it because Baker finds him on third down all the time. Yeah, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.640 it's Chris Godwin. He did it multiple times again in 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.680 this game, did it multiple times in the Green Bay game. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.920 Godwin doesn't have a thousand yards, yet he might get there. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.440 He obviously doesn't have the touchdown totals that Mike Evans has, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.160 but if you look a little closer, he has been 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.360 just as important to this offense as he's ever been. 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.000 He doesn't have as many catches, but he has key catches. Yeah, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:38.680 he's got a lot. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.560 Though. He does lead the league in reception, I mean 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:41.840 the team in receptions. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.440 By right, but a lot of them are that, oh boy, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.760 we really need this, and there's Chris making the scoop 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.200 and so that is that. I think. I don't know 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:58.360 it just the offense actually, just it just looks like 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.360 it's working now I know it is. But you know 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.800 how sometimes when you see a play and it's it 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.960 just doesn't there's no flow to it. Yeah, I'm just 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.960 in the last few weeks I'll say Green Bay and 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:16.160 last week against Jacksonville. There it just seems so fluid. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.440 It just seems so here we go marching down. You 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.360 felt good about it. It wasn't like, oh, you got 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.360 to make some crazy play to get the first down. 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.880 I'll say something about the offense over the last month 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.440 that I think Dave Canalis would really like because it 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.680 kind of echoes some of the things he's been talking about. Okay, 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.720 it looks like in each of these last four games, 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.960 the offense has answers for whatever they come up against, 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.080 whatever situations. Third and eight, third and seven, third and three. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.640 We've been fantastic in third short, by the way, uh huh, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.400 And it has answers for whatever the opposing defense decides 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:52.680 to do. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.920 I'm glad you mentioned that because he's on the Todd 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.000 Bowles Show that's going to go tonight and then you 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.880 can catch it on bucket. He talked about how as 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.320 time has gone on, he's learned how to make adjustments 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.560 to what's being shown exactly, and that is exactly what 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:10.000 you're saying. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.200 A couple of times in recent weeks he said he's 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:17.720 gotten better at knowing when to pull certain things out 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.880 of the bag. He's like, I went to something too early. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:21.880 We needed to get it set up more and it 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.520 would have worked better at a different time in the game. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.520 He talked about that, don't get so anxious to make 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.120 the big splash play it. Let it unfold. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:29.960 I'm sure if I was an offensive coordinator and I 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.560 had my suite of plays ready to go for a game, 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.680 I'd have three or four that I was really excited about, right, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:36.840 something that you. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.880 Just well, you have to be excited about it, but 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.720 your quarterback has to be excited, right. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.600 And what I'm saying is it would be hard not 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.000 to just dial that one up right away, right well, 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.280 but sometimes they need to be set up. And that's 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.280 one thing that this offense is doing a great job 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.160 of the last month is designing and running plays that 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.120 are set up by stuff we've done before. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.720 I think the running game really wasn't that it was, 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.400 But I did not think the running game was not 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.960 good during the game. Does that make any sense? Well, 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:07.760 part of it was. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.160 I mean, we ended up with one point nine yards 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.520 for cars, so that's obviously not good. But for the 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.600 most of the second half, or at least a good 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.200 portion of it, we were running the ball into the 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:18.640 teeth of a defense that we. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.200 Were running, Yeah, because we were going to throw it 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:20.720 at that point. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.200 We just wanted to burn the clock. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.199 But it didn't you know, kind of just like to me, 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.399 it just didn't feel like, oh boy, we're in trouble. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.560 I guess maybe get you yeah, you know. And and 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.440 but then after I looked at the the shoms, Yeah, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.840 and I was like, how did I miss that? But 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.120 I guess we didn't need it. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.000 Well, you needed to still run the ball. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.480 Beginning, yeah, to kill the clock. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.240 Yes, well, and also just to have people to play 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:42.840 action off. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:44.600 Of it and stuff like that, keep everybody honest. What 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:45.800 was your favorite part about that? 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.600 Oh yeah, that's what that's supposed to be. 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.520 My question, you can ask. 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.560 Favorite part was probably, as I said before, the yah 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.520 Yad Dyabi force fumble play, because that's just it's like 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.480 in It was like in both Super Bowls when you 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.719 got to that moment where you thought, Okay, that's it, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.879 We've got this. Now those are obviously much more important games, 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.919 but I've had that feeling at that moment. 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:14.200 My favorite was zero over zero zero tackling zero. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:15.720 Oh yeah, that was cool. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.760 And we noted that too, never been said, yeah, oh 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.160 you looked it up. Well, how could zero and zero 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.800 earlier this year? Okay, I'll make you feel better. Zero 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.880 and zero has never been uttered by Gene Decker until Sunday. 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.520
