Speaker 1: Daniels not returning in the Vikings game.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: We talk about what this team has to do to

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: get back on track.

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,919
Speaker 3: And football players played football.

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 4: And broadcasters broadcast games.

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: It's all coming up next on the Booth Review. Welcome

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: into the latest edition of the Booth Review podcast. Ibram

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: Winstein with London Fletcher and Logan Paulson were brought to

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: you by Microsoft Surface Copilot Plus PC and we are,

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: or at least Logan and I are in the Big

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Bear AI Command Center studio after a rough, rough loss

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: to Minnesota Teams eighth straight. They fall to three to

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: ten thirty one to nothering considering the gang was back

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: together on offense, I don't think any of us could

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: have seen this coming. So let's start at the end,

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: which is this was a surprise. What now, London man.

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 5: What now?

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: You gotta take a very hard look at everything that

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: led to you performing like that as a team offensively, defensively.

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: Special teams really wasn't much of a factor in the

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: ball game because it's not like we tried to kick

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: any field goals, and I mean they had one one

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: big return on the kickoff return for Minnesota. But other

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: than that, it was from offensive standpoint and defensive standpoint,

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: just all around poor performance. So you dig into that

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: find out what were the regions that you played like that,

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: especially considering how you had played in the previous two

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: ball games against the Dolphins in Madrid and also against

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: the Broncos at home, a lot more competitive games endued

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: losing both those games in overtime. So what's the reason

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: why all of a sudden we regress is, as dan

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 3: Quinn said, took three steps backwards.

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 5: What was the reason for that?

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 6: I definitely felt that way, And this one feels kind

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: of overwhelming for me personally, because I think there was

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 6: a lot of things that offensively and defensively didn't go well,

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 6: and I think Fletch you alluded to some of those

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 6: things there, right, you know, something like you're like, oh,

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 6: you know, it was the offensive plan where it needed

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 6: to be for the pressure that Minnesota was going to bring. Defensively,

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 6: it seemed like Kevin O'Connell had a really good bead

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 6: on kind of how to get the defense into certain

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 6: looks in certain positions, which is tough, right because it

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 6: means you've kind of shown something and people have now

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 6: found a thread they can pull on.

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: So I think that's one thing.

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 6: You know, like going back and watching the film, I

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 6: wasn't like the effort necessarily was terrible, which I think

51
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 6: is something that initially I was worried about. You know,

52
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 6: I thought the guys on defense were playing hard relatively speaking,

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 6: but it's just it's one of those games. It kind

54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 6: of takes you back to the games earlier this season,

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 6: you know, with the twenty point losses to Seattle to

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 6: Detroit where it's like, man, where do you go from here?

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: And like FLETCHHD, it's.

58
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 6: Just like you got to be really, really, really critical

59
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 6: in the evaluation of what you've done offensively and defensively.

60
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 6: Everybody's got to kind of point to themselves and say,

61
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 6: what can I do better? Because you know, there's times

62
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 6: where you know, maybe the offensive line doesn't pick something up,

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 6: or the quarterback vacates a pocket too quickly, or is

64
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 6: not where it should be offensively, right, And it's the

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 6: same thing on defense. It's really everybody. Everybody's effort and

66
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 6: everybody's mistakes contribute to this result. So really just being

67
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 6: hypercritical of your own performance is the only way that

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: I know how to handle this moving forward.

69
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, the game flipped early. They scored

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: on their opening drive, Washington goes down the field fifteen

71
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: play drive stalls inside the two yard line, three straight

72
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: pass plays. We can go through some of the choices

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: there in a little bit. And it wasn't just the

74
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: stop there, London. It was a ninety eight yard drive

75
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: that followed by an offense that hadn't scored a touchdown

76
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: in three weeks and had already put one on the

77
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: board and ran off nearly a quarter doing it. So

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: like to Logan's point, this is both sides here. Like

79
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: the defense needed to stop up, step up and make

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: a stop, get the ball back for the offense. The

81
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: offense obviously needed to execute at the end of a

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: drive because the margin for error for them has been

83
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: so thin. And that to me was I know what

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: the score looks like, but that to me was everything

85
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: you needed to know about where the ball game was.

86
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: It's a great momentum shift, you know, you get down there.

87
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: You mentioned getting inside the two yard line and not

88
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: coming away with points, but then from the to add

89
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: insult to injury, now you allowed them to go nineteen

90
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: plays and ninety eight yards and get a touchdown. So

91
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: not only are you kind of still relling about not

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: getting getting points in in that that red zone situation,

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: but then to allow them to drive down there, down

94
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: there like that, it was you know situation where it

95
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: boiled down the third downs from a defensive standpoint, not

96
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: being able to get stops on third down. And it

97
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: wasn't like these were third and you know two situations

98
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: thirty one, thirty threes they had I think like third

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: and six is third and thinks maybe a third and twelve.

100
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: There were some third and longer situations that they were

101
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: able to convert on. And this was a offense that

102
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: came into that ball game thirty first rank on third downs,

103
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: and you allowed them to convert. And a lot of

104
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: that was our inability to get pressure on the quarterback.

105
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: They wanted to play a lot of zone coverages. DQ

106
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: did just kind of keeping everything in front of me

107
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: and talked about not wanting to allow these receivers because

108
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: they have When you can look at Jordan Addison and

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson, those guys are two elite receivers and you

110
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: don't want to necessarily play a lot of man coverage

111
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: against these guys. So you want to say, hey, we'll

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: play a lot of zone coverage, but if you go

113
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 3: to play zone, you have to figure out ways.

114
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: To get pressure on the quarterback. And we didn't do that.

115
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 5: We ended with.

116
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 3: Four sacks, but those weren't Those sacks weren't impactful sacks.

117
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: They were kind of just you know, a zero yard

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 3: sack here or minus three yard sacked. They weren't impactful

119
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: type of sacks, and our inability to get pressure on

120
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: the quarterback is what really led to all the issues

121
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: that we had defensively at that ball game.

122
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think I totally agree with that.

123
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 6: It's to me, it comes back down to the third

124
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 6: downs one hundred percent, because like when you're watching the tape,

125
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 6: I'm sure you watch it back, maybe this morning or

126
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 6: last night, Fletch, Like, there's moments you're like, oh, that's

127
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 6: a nice run fit. Oh there's a good win in

128
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 6: a one on one situation. That's a nice line stunt.

129
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 6: And we're in second and eight. Oh, here's third and ten,

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden, J. J. McCarthy scrambles

131
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 6: for a first down. Then he hits that big corner

132
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 6: for a first down. Then they hit that middle screen

133
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 6: for a first down, and those were not again like

134
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 6: you're saying, those were not like easy first downs to get.

135
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: It was third and ten, third and eleven, third and eight,

136
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 6: and those are opportunities for the defense to get off

137
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 6: the field, and I think, like, when you look at

138
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: the first and second down effort to get to those opportunities,

139
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 6: it's great. But again I forget what the conversion percentage was,

140
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 6: but at one point it was like they were seven

141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 6: for eight on third down and they were long plus

142
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 6: down in distances, and so to me, like that's the narrative.

143
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 6: You don't go on a nineteen play drive without executing

144
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 6: great on third down, Like really you don't. And there

145
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 6: was enough good stuff on second down to be like, man,

146
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 6: they should be in a better position here, and they

147
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 6: just weren't able to capitalize. And so some of it is,

148
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 6: I think, to Fletcher's point, the lack of pressure with four. Also,

149
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 6: I felt like JJ McCarthy, the Minnesota coaching staff had

150
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 6: a really good feel for kind of the rhythms and

151
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 6: situations of the play call. So like, hey, on third

152
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 6: and ten, we're going to be in Tampa, Tuo or

153
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 6: we're going to be in quarters, and these are some

154
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 6: route concepts that we feel really good about.

155
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: To beat those, to beat those looks right.

156
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 6: And so even the screen I thought was really well

157
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 6: called in, really well timed, because again they're kind of

158
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 6: right around that twenty five twenty seven yard line, they're

159
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 6: bringing a little bit of pressure. They throw the screen

160
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 6: right into the pressure ends up being a big play.

161
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 6: So just in terms of feel, I thought Minnesota had

162
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: a really good, really good feel, and they put JJ

163
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 6: in a good spot to be successful. And again, so

164
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 6: it was kind of a combination of things. It wasn't

165
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 6: just say the or the foreman rush was a huge

166
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 6: variable obviously, Fletch, but I also felt like Minnesota had

167
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 6: a really had it really locked in in terms of

168
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 6: when and how they would be calling certain coverages specifically.

169
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just looked at I'm looking at the the

170
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: play by play in Minnesota converted a third and six

171
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: on the on the nineteen play dry they converted a

172
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: third and six, They converted a third and nine for

173
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: twelve yards. They got twelve yards, and they converted a

174
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: third and eight a twenty one yard pass, and again

175
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: only they converted a third and twelve.

176
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it was the last one, right, the one

177
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: that JJ.

178
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, these are these are issues that you you

179
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: want to get in. If you can get a team

180
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: into i'd say third and seven pluses, that's when you

181
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: you really can rush the quarterback. Now the thirty and

182
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: five or less, it's kind of like, okay, we don't

183
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: probably play a man.

184
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: And man you know, they're easier to convert.

185
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: The first one where they said it was a four

186
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: man rush, they sent Kwand off the edge and their

187
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: full back just saw him at the last minute and

188
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: he's able to knock Quand off of probably would have

189
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: been a safety on McCarthy. And I was the one

190
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: that the one time where I felt like, okay, we

191
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: got a little bit of pressure, so to speak, on him,

192
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: but beyond that, and besides that, they McCarthy was very

193
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: comfortable in the pocket. He was able to when he

194
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: didn't get the sack by Kwand, he scrambled for the

195
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: first down on that one.

196
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 5: But you know, it was just a situation where they were.

197
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: Able to make plays, especially in the past game not

198
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: enough pressure, and that's why you know, at some point

199
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: you're thinking r DQ, the four man rush is not working,

200
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: especially on third downs. Maybe we need to go to

201
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: a different type of plan to get pressure on his

202
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: quarterback to get him out of rhythm. Because you got

203
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: a quarterback who was struggling coming into the ball game.

204
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: He had thrown ten interceptions, he was completing like fifty

205
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: four percent of his passes. When you allow him to

206
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: get comfortable and get confidence, now he's like, oh this

207
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: is easy. He's throwing on time to go to his

208
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 3: first read. Maybe get in to his secondary here there,

209
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: But you never truly got him office office spot. Make

210
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: him feel uncomfortable, speed up his process like you saw

211
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: the Vikings did us. They sped up the quarterbacks process.

212
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: They also manipulated the pass protection of our offense to

213
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: where you would have free runners coming in at jay

214
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: Nor at markets and things like that. So you know,

215
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: it was a situation where maybe we needed to make

216
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: a little bit more adjustments in the pass rush because

217
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: the plan wasn't working just with the four man rush. Yeah.

218
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: I also think another huge variable to consider here is

219
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 2: the game flow. Right.

220
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 6: So one of the things about some of the things

221
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 6: you're describing with JJ McCarthy is when they get down

222
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 6: the Minnesota Vikings, he's got to throw more, they've got

223
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 6: to be more aggressive down the field. And here, because

224
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 6: the offense wasn't able to be effective versus the defense,

225
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 6: they're able to kind of sit in this perfect world

226
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 6: of like, hey, here's we're going to run the ball.

227
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: We're going to run the ball.

228
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 6: Here's a little play action boot, here's a really easy

229
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 6: kind of two man concept that I'm reading a high

230
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: low on. And I felt like he wasn't stressed, partially

231
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 6: because there was no reason to stress him. Kevin O'Connell,

232
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 6: I thought, called a great game from this standpoint where

233
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 6: it's like, hey, he can make plays when he has

234
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 6: to make plays, but we're going to limit those opportunities.

235
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 6: And in terms of limiting the exposure of the quarterback,

236
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 6: I thought Kevin O'Connell did.

237
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: A great job of that. Right.

238
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 6: It is like, you know, they weren't afraid to punt

239
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 6: in the second half. They weren't afraid to do all

240
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 6: these things that kind of manage his risk. And I

241
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 6: think that was another reason why you see a much

242
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 6: more effective JJ McCarthy than we've seen. Like, I think

243
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 6: it's really telling that they came out took the ball

244
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 6: with the opening kickoff right they go down. They obviously

245
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 6: had a really good plan the way they used twelve,

246
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 6: the way they use thirteen personnel to get the Washington

247
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 6: commanders in a base defense, get them in a simple,

248
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 6: simple cover structures and let JJ kind of pick you apart.

249
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: They go down and score.

250
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 6: I think they had a ton of confidence that they

251
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 6: were going to have that the Minnesota defense was going

252
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 6: to have good success against the Washington offense, and they

253
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 6: ended up being true. And obviously we got to talk

254
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 6: about the goal, the fourth and goal that they didn't

255
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 6: get and all those kinds of things. But I think,

256
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 6: like to me, was it just showed a they got

257
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: in the game flow they wanted and then they never

258
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 6: got out of it, and it really helped JJ McCarthy

259
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 6: be super effective.

260
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 4: I mean the whole week.

261
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, they were honest about what was going on.

262
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy had only played in half of their games. His

263
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: completion percentage was amongst the lowest of starting quarterbacks. His

264
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: passer rating was literally the lowest. You cited the interception,

265
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: So he was struggling. The best way to put it

266
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: was he was struggling. They had talked openly about how

267
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: they had stripped down their offense. They were running the balls.

268
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: It must have been eighty percent of the time on

269
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: first down, trying to get positive yardists, trying to get

270
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: manageable down in distances for them, whoever their quarterback was,

271
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: they've had this issue this entire year.

272
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 4: So I need you to help.

273
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: Me with some up to both of you, okay, because

274
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: it red like, I get that this team is missing

275
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: their defensive ends, and they're missing some corners now too,

276
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: so some of their best cover players aren't out there.

277
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: And I full respect to those outside weapons that they have.

278
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: Jefferson is as elite as elite gets in the NFL.

279
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: Addison's great too, But this red like, don't you have

280
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: to take a chance and bring more pressure to try

281
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: to get this guy out of rhythm and induce mistakes.

282
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Can you help me understand the balance of the risk

283
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: of bringing pressure with weapons like that versus the idea

284
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: of we kind of just have to do it because

285
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: we have to disrupt this player.

286
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: Well, I think what the plan was just based on

287
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: how DQ and the defensive staff, how they called the game.

288
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: They're saying, Hey, we know.

289
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: When we're going to keep everything in front of us,

290
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: we're going to you know, just rush forward, play a

291
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: lot of his own coverage, whether it be Cover two,

292
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: Cover three, maybe a little bit of Cover six, which

293
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: is still a little bit of a man.

294
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 5: And zone coverage.

295
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: Keep everything in front of us, and hopefully there are

296
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: times where will win the r one on ones or

297
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: we'll confusing with our disguises and force JJ to hold

298
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: onto the football a little bit longer. Maybe we can

299
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: force a little couple of incompletions, maybe force him to

300
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: throw an interception, or just get him off rhythm or

301
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: allow the pass for us to get there. The flip

302
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: side of it is they weren't getting there with the

303
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: four man Russo if you all of a sudden say

304
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: we're gonna bring an extra rush or a fifth guy,

305
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: now you open yourself up to are we gonna play

306
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: man and man on the back end? And if you

307
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: play man and man and you put your expose yourself

308
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: to explosive plays, where you got If they block it

309
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: up and you get one on ones against Addison noor A,

310
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: justin Jefferson, those guys can now all of a sudden

311
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: hit you for sixty seventy yard touchdown plays.

312
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 5: That's the type of ability they have.

313
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: So it was Hey, let's make them dink and dunk

314
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: down the field and then we'll play great red zone defense,

315
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: which defensively, we have been playing great red zone defense

316
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: the prior to ballgames. I think we had held Miami

317
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: and Denver to four out of ten in the red zone.

318
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: So that was the plan. Yesterday.

319
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: We did play great red zone defense, so we allowed

320
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: them to get in the red zone, but then we

321
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: didn't stop them once they got into those situations. Nesota

322
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: was able to capitalize in the red zone and they

323
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: finished They finished four for four in the red zone.

324
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: So that's that's that. That was the other issue. Poor

325
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: poor third down defense at poor in the red zone.

326
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: Those were the that was the big issues with the defense.

327
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, And going back to the pressure thing, I think

328
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 6: also like prior to this week, I would have thought

329
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 6: that you could get pressure with four, you know, even

330
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 6: even with r kind of depleted for when you look

331
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 6: at the different combinations that they've had in there, Minnesota

332
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 6: like you've seen teams kind of get after him a

333
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 6: little bit.

334
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: And as actually the healthiest their offensive line had been

335
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: basically all year.

336
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I do think that is a something I

337
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 6: know I undervalued coming into this game. In terms of

338
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 6: like how important that would be for him, because again,

339
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,239
Speaker 6: it allowed JJ, like you guys mentioned on the broadcast,

340
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 6: like to just sit in there confidently see throws in

341
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 6: a way that he hadn't really had the opportunity this

342
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: entire year. You look at old games of this offense,

343
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 6: and he is under siege all the time long, developing concepts,

344
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 6: play action passes, anything that's down the field past ten yards,

345
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 6: teams are pressure like the Bears, who have like kind

346
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 6: of this much maligned pass rush, were able to get

347
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 6: consistent pressure against him because, like Fletcher was saying, or

348
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 6: you were saying, he's able to he holds the football,

349
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 6: he's kind of waiting to see stuff, and they're able

350
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 6: to get the pressure there. Here again with that healthy

351
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 6: group back in there, Derre SAWA's back Jackson was back there,

352
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 6: two starting left side players were in there. Their right

353
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 6: guard I think was nicked up. He was back in

354
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 6: the lineup. Like it was a drastic difference in performance

355
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 6: for that group And so I do think that was

356
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 6: something that needs to be considered here. But I do

357
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 6: also agree with Fletch like that on the broadcast, he

358
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 6: said a bunch about like maybe it's time to throw

359
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 6: in a pressure, and there are ways to get pressure

360
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 6: without bringing extra people, like simulated pressures, like you can

361
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 6: kind of stack the front in a way where you

362
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 6: kind of force the force them to target their protection

363
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 6: in a specific way, and you can bring free runners.

364
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: To the other side. So I think there's some of

365
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: that that maybe they could have done, because.

366
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 5: I would have did a lot, Like yeah, like Minnesota

367
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: hit a lot.

368
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 6: Of and that's what they major in Minnesota, that's what

369
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 6: they're really good at, and so I think maybe there

370
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 6: was opportunities for more of that, just to kind of

371
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 6: make it where it's less like these four guys are rushing,

372
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 6: these seven guys are in coverage and just provide a

373
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 6: little bit of consternation maybe to the quarterback. I could

374
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 6: see that being an argument, But in terms of playing

375
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 6: more man coverage, I'm not sure that I would feel

376
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 6: playing feel comfortable playing more man coverage with this secondary

377
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 6: group as it currently exists.

378
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: Fletch, maybe you disagree.

379
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: Also, you can have and I don't know what how

380
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: much in our menu we have what you would kind

381
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: of consider fire zones rushing five and still playing maybe

382
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 3: three underneath and three DP, so you still are playing

383
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: kind of a safer coverage, so to speak, and you

384
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: play the zones underneath.

385
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 5: So I don't know how much we have that in our.

386
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: Menu now within the defensive play sheet, So you know,

387
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: maybe that's something they'll they'll look at moving forward, like, hey, okay,

388
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: we can if we're not going to get consistent pressure

389
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: with the format rush, we can bring five, but you'll

390
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: play what we call zoone three three underneath three D

391
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: type of coverages and things like that.

392
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 5: So as I'm sure they're gonna.

393
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 3: Take a hard look at what can we do differently,

394
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: And then there's there's some they're gonna have to be

395
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: some times where you just have to say, hey, we're

396
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 3: gonna go out and you guys got to hold up

397
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: for maybe two seconds as a corner or three because

398
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: we're not gonna allow him to sit back here and

399
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: just hold on to this football. We're gonna bring all

400
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: our pressure and you may be exposed a little bit,

401
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: but just got it.

402
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 5: You gotta hold.

403
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: You gotta be able to cover for two seconds, two

404
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: and a half seconds and hopefully he'll that ball at

405
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: that quarterback and be getting hit or getting sacked.

406
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: This reminded me a little bit of the game earlier

407
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: in the season against Atlanta where they had come off

408
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: a really rough performance against Carolina, and if you watched

409
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix in that game, he was apt to make mistakes.

410
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: He was under pressure consistently. Washington didn't bring a lot

411
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: of pressure on him. Suddenly he got really comfortable and

412
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: everybody had a big game. In this particular case, if

413
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: you told me Sunday morning that Justin Jefferson's gonna have

414
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: two catches for eleven yards but the team would lose

415
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: thirty one or nothing, I wouldn't have believed you, because,

416
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: at least in this case, there were some of the

417
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: star players that were not taking advantage of them.

418
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 4: But it wasn't enough.

419
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: And this did feel like is there a balance here where, Okay,

420
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: we're going to put people at risk, every defense gonna

421
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: have a liability, but we're doing it because we think

422
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: we need to disrupt this player more than other quarterbacks

423
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: in general, because he has struggled in the past and

424
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: they just weren't able to get any kind of real

425
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: pressure on him. All of a sudden, here's a guy

426
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: who if you watched him, you go, where's his confidence level?

427
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: Well, he had it yesterday against them.

428
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 6: And again like it's really easy to go back and like,

429
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 6: let's play Monday months quarterback against And so you know,

430
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 6: I was like, you know, I don't think I don't

431
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 6: think McCarthy's playing as bad as people think. He was

432
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 6: still playing bad football. So to me, playing a lot

433
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 6: of own versus him see like one hundred percent the

434
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 6: right thing to do because of his ability to just

435
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 6: kind of fall into mistakes, Like why would I stress

436
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 6: myself defensively by bringing pressure, putting our corners on islands

437
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 6: when he, like Fritz Shit, has thrown ten interceptions this year,

438
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 6: and he's made a bunch of Aaron throws. He has

439
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 6: one of the lowest pass ratings in the NFL. Like

440
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 6: there are reasons for that. Let's let him do his

441
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 6: thing and give us an opportunity. And that's where I

442
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 6: go back to the game flow thing, like he was

443
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 6: never at any point in a high stress environment because

444
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 6: he never had to throw. Right in the two minute situation,

445
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 6: they're taking a knee, you know what I mean, Like

446
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 6: because they understand that their defense is in a good

447
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 6: spot to contain Washington's offense. So I look at that

448
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 6: and I say again, like we could talk about pressure

449
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 6: or lack thereof. I don't know if I would have

450
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 6: done anything different going into the game Fletch, because of

451
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 6: how poorly he had been playing.

452
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 3: No, not going into the game, because as I looked

453
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: at as I looked at McCarthy, the thing that I

454
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: saw at Dome coverage was do what I would have

455
00:20:59,280 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: played against?

456
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I feel like it's a pretty good versus man,

457
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 6: Like he can see man, he can make throws like the.

458
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 5: Young quarterbacks especially man and man you know where.

459
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: You know, hey, I can I can go to this guy,

460
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 3: you know, one on one situation, like it's easy, especially

461
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: against pressure. All Right, they're blinking me, I'm gonna go

462
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: to Justin Jefferson, give him a chance.

463
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: That he was a fifty to fifty ball.

464
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: So, okay, the zone concept plays one against him was

465
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 3: at the absolute right thing going into that game. However,

466
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: once you saw the game flow and you saw how

467
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 3: they were able to just pick us apart, especially in

468
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: the you know, first the first sequence, first defensive standpoint. Okay,

469
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: he made they score to start the game, but it

470
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: was that ninety eight yard drive where you're like, all right,

471
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: especially it's nineteen plays, so at some point do you say,

472
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: all right, man, let me let me just throwing a

473
00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 3: heater right here.

474
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 5: And he did dq dig dollop a couple pressure.

475
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 3: I don't know if it I can't remember if it

476
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: was it was later on after that that nineteen play

477
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: drive or doing it, but it just was by that

478
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: time he had already kind of started to get into

479
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 3: a flow. But another part, which we need to touch on,

480
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: complimentary football. We did not play complimentary football. The offense

481
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: didn't didn't.

482
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 5: Do their part.

483
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: So maybe we get into a situation where it's a

484
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: kind of a mid twenties type game by both teams,

485
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 3: with offenses moving the ball getting points.

486
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 5: Defensively, hey, they're moving the ball.

487
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: Maybe we're holding to a field goal in a couple

488
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 3: of situations, so you keep the score down a little bit.

489
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 3: It's not and we're not here talking about a thirty

490
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 3: one and zero game.

491
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 5: We're talking about our.

492
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 3: Close ball game like we had against the Broncos, maybe

493
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 3: with the scores in the mid twenties by both teams

494
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: and it comes down to a field goal here or

495
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: there and stuff like that.

496
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 5: Up this just wasn't complimenting football. And that's that's the thing.

497
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: That's probably most disappointing to the fact that you know,

498
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 3: we didn't play we didn't play our style of ball.

499
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Fletcher, I had a quick question for you.

500
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 6: So, like, I know, on offense, for example, like sometimes

501
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 6: like you get got because of game plan, Like you

502
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 6: can't just go on the sideline and just add a

503
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 6: bunch of formations or add a bunch of calls because

504
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 6: it's not on the call sheet. The communication hasn't been

505
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 6: established for the offense.

506
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: How hard or how easy would it be.

507
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 6: Let's say you went to the game plan and being like, hey,

508
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 6: we're going to be predominantly zoned. We've got three or

509
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 6: four pressures that we like in key moments. How hard

510
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 6: would be to be like, hey, we're going to add

511
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 6: these pressures in for a defense. I know offensively, it

512
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 6: can be really challenging to add protections and rock concepts

513
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 6: in on the sideline or even a run scheme because

514
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 6: you haven't repted in the week. But how hard would

515
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 6: that be for them to be like, Hey, our game

516
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 6: plan is this sheet, but maybe we didn't anticipate X,

517
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 6: and so now we're going to add in pressures or

518
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 6: more coverages or whatever.

519
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: You're going to go into a game with maybe four

520
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: or five pressures, regardless, even if you obviously in the

521
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: beginning of the season, they had a higher volume of

522
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 3: pressures that you're going to the game plan with. So

523
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: we got these different things we practiced throughout the course

524
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: of the week, and we'll get to to some of

525
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 3: our pressures. I can remember when I was with some

526
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: of the other guys, whether it was Greg Williams, Dick

527
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: Lebow who was with us in a Buffalo, or even

528
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 3: Jim Hasley, we would have a ton of pressure that

529
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 3: we wouldn't even get to in the ball game because

530
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 3: we got you know, we got so many of them

531
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: that we never even got to all the pressure down

532
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: the call sheet. But it would have been easy to

533
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 3: maybe it's a and it's not something unique. Maybe you

534
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: dial up that that Kwan Martin pressure a few more times.

535
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 5: They sent Bobby.

536
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: Bobby almost had a sad So call those plays a

537
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 3: couple more times. Like if you look at Minnesota, that

538
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 3: cross pick stunt that they ran, I don't.

539
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 5: Know how many times they run in the game. It

540
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 5: felt like about.

541
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: Ten, but they kept running the same type of play

542
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: and they're playing cover two behind it and they're getting.

543
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: They're constantly getting pressure with that, and there's not something

544
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 3: exotic and things like that, So there was something you

545
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: just might have to keep calling the same type of pressures.

546
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: Maybe you got two or three that you and it

547
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: can even be a simulated pressure where you're just figuring

548
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: out ways you're creating a way to get a free

549
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: rusher to the quarterback.

550
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's switch over to the offense and let's

551
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: focus on Jayden here. We're still we're taping this before

552
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: dan Quinn talks today. Last night, there was no information

553
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: that there was any re injury or different injury that

554
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: occurred last night. But let's wait and see what everyone

555
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: says today about it. They said last night he could

556
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: have gone back into the game. They chose not to.

557
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: At the point he would have come back in, it

558
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: would have been seventeen to nothing at that point, and

559
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: he had just come off what was the opening drive

560
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: of the second half that ended with a fourth down

561
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: intercept by Andrew Van Gigold that led to a field goal,

562
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: So he could have come back in in the third

563
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: quarter at seventeen to nothing, which just your general takeaway

564
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: here of the decision to not have him go back in.

565
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 6: We were talking about this a little bit before the

566
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 6: show started, Flesh, before you got on, And one thing

567
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 6: that I forgot to mention is like, when I'm on

568
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 6: the sideline, I get a pretty intimate reaction to like

569
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 6: the injury because I'm like literally standing right behind the bench.

570
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 6: And so at the time, like I understand they said

571
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 6: he could have gone back in. Just from his body language,

572
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 6: the body language of the trainer, the way they handled

573
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 6: him going into the tent and coming out of the tent,

574
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 6: and the conversation around it, it definitely felt, you know,

575
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 6: like a like not an insignificant thing, and so maybe

576
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 6: he could have gone back in, like if it was

577
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 6: like gutting your head, go back in the game.

578
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: But I also wonder, like the severity of the aggravation.

579
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 6: I'm not saying even REI injured, you know what I'm saying,

580
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 6: So like on the sideline, it seemed much more emotional

581
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 6: than you know, we get to talk to Dan afterwards.

582
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 6: That seemed like a very controlled kind of setting. So

583
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 6: again that's something I just wanted to bring up. Being

584
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 6: on the sideline, you hear those interactions and you're like, man,

585
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 6: maybe this is a little bit more.

586
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: I think it's important here because because all you're hearing

587
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: is what's messaged, and the messages in the third quarter

588
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: of a seventeen to nothing game, the starting quarterback is

589
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: not going back into the game. Now we know that

590
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: he's had, you know, a recent injury, and clearly it

591
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: was aggravated in some way, but there was no injury

592
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: designation that was given at that point. So I appreciate

593
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: the clarification of what you got to see now it

594
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: was because it's all we're hearing is what the message

595
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: is of what was happening, and it is a bit confusing, honestly.

596
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead because you as I yeah, as I

597
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: said on the on the broadcast, where I thought it

598
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: might be a situation where potentially where DQ and medical

599
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: staff was saying, hey, he aggravated it. It's not worth

600
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: putting him back in this ball game. We can't protect

601
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 3: him in this office. From an office and standpoint, they've

602
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 3: had multiple times where they got free runners. Our defense

603
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: is not slowing down. Minnesota's just a situation where risk

604
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: reward maybe even thinking about the game against the Seahawks

605
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: where he got injured, and you're saying, you know what,

606
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna expose him to a permanent injury to

607
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: where he's not able to play next week.

608
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, he could go back into this ball game. But

609
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 5: I think just when you look at the.

610
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 3: Florida game, Jayden at that point was nine for twenty

611
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: the offense, with the exception of the the opening drive,

612
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: it was kind of clunky, not really being able to

613
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: get a lot established in the passing game.

614
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 5: How the run game was working.

615
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: Yep, And we can touch on that, you know, but

616
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: just the way it was going, like, I'm not going

617
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: to put him out there, he gets injured, we can't

618
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: protect him against this blitz happy defense that that's what

619
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: they do. Well, we'll get we'll live to fight another

620
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: day and get him out of here and hopefully it's

621
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: just a little swallowing or a little irritation and he's

622
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: ready to go next week, I guess the New Goork Giants.

623
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it kind of reminded me.

624
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 6: Reminded me of something when I was in Atlanta, Right,

625
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 6: I had a really bad MCL tear with some damage

626
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 6: in the ankle ligament. Also like someone had fallen on

627
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 6: me and I could go back in the game. And

628
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 6: I did go back in the game, but upon watching film,

629
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 6: I probably should not have gone back in the game.

630
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 6: Does that make sense, Like, so there are these moments

631
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 6: where you can, it doesn't mean you should. And I

632
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 6: think Fletch did a great job there of providing some context,

633
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 6: Like you know he was he was emotional on the sideline,

634
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 6: like his mom sits in the front row and she's

635
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 6: trying to talk to him and he's trying to talk

636
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 6: to her, and there was there was some like the

637
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 6: best way I can explain it is just consternation about

638
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 6: the moment right about about the level of the injury.

639
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 6: And I think to myself, like with the way Fletch

640
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 6: is describing how the offense was before me, I think

641
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 6: he's one hundred percent spot on. Like when you're having

642
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 6: hard time protecting a young player, he's a competitor, he's

643
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 6: trying to put everything on the line. Like I remember

644
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 6: there's a couple times where he's scrambling and he's taken

645
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 6: some shots where I was like, man, already we're doing that.

646
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 6: But that's what this Minnesota defense does. So I do

647
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 6: think that context is important and also.

648
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 4: Wasn't at a character for them though they do this

649
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: every game.

650
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 6: And we're going to talk about maybe that more in

651
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 6: a second, but like I do think that I think

652
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 6: there was at the moment with the game flow being

653
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 6: at what it was and me seeing again the kind

654
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 6: of the tumble, like the energy on the sideline around

655
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 6: the injury, like it kind of made sense in a

656
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 6: moment to me. And again like there's Dani'll talk today,

657
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 6: we'll get more information, But.

658
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: I do want to just say one other thing about it,

659
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: and not to be contrarian about it, no, no, but

660
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 1: it's the score is only seventeen to nothing when he

661
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: could have gone back in. To me in the third quarter,

662
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: the game's not over now, like like you may want

663
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: to characterize it that way, and it wasn't going well

664
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: obviously for them, but like to me, that score is

665
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: not the Seattle game where they were down thirty with

666
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: eight minutes ago, and honestly, like that was a fluke

667
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: that injury that he got in at Seattle game, but

668
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: like that game was over against Seattle. This one, to me,

669
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: at seventeen to nothing isn't like it's so I just wanted.

670
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: To say that, you know, it's important to say that.

671
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 6: It's really good context, but also think Fletch brought up

672
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 6: a really good point because I think when Dan's calling

673
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 6: defensive plays, he is a very unique perspective on the defense.

674
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 6: And if you feel like you can't stop them for

675
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 6: whatever reason, and we've talked about why or not that is,

676
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 6: I think it gives you a different feel of the

677
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 6: pulse of the game. And so maybe he's feeling a

678
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 6: little bit of consternation, a little bit of anxiety and

679
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 6: kind of like we can't stop them, we can't protect

680
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 6: Why put him back into the fray here in this moment.

681
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 6: And I don't want to put words in anybody's mouth,

682
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 6: but it on the sideline, just watching, I don't know

683
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 6: how it felt from the booth, it kind of felt

684
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 6: that way to me, where it even though the game

685
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 6: was in hand, it felt like it was very close

686
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 6: to being out of hand.

687
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Yes, I guess I'm just you know, I'm like everybody,

688
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm tunnel vision, like we can win, we can win,

689
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: we can win.

690
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 4: You can always feel like you can win.

691
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 6: But it reminds me of the Zach Ertz thing too,

692
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 6: like we can win, but like, you know, like you're exposed.

693
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 6: I feel so bad for Zach holy cow man like,

694
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 6: and I know the whole staff feels bad for him.

695
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 6: The locker room was crazy afterwards with Zach, like just

696
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 6: the support for him, but like, that's what that's the

697
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 6: risk that you're exposing him to in a game that

698
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 6: may or may not be in hand.

699
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, Bram, that game was over.

700
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it was just from a standpoint of the

701
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: way they were going to have to get back into it.

702
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 5: It was going to have to be throwing the football.

703
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 5: You're down, they're down.

704
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: You say seventeen nothing, but it probably felt like thirty

705
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 3: five and nothing at that point in time because of

706
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: how you were going to have to just the game

707
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: flow of moving the football against this.

708
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 5: Defense of the Vikings.

709
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 3: They were constantly getting guys in the face of Jaden Daniels. Yes,

710
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: there was no reason to put him back in that

711
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: ball game because of the given the fact that this

712
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 3: is the guy who's been injured multiple times in the season,

713
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: He's missed multiple games, and we can't protect him against

714
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: this this blitz happy defense of the Minnesota Vikings. We're

715
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: not going to be able to get back in the

716
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: game with Jaden without exposing him to more risk of injuries.

717
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: Even if he doesn't get sacked he's going to have

718
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 3: to scrabble, he's going to take more hits. And it

719
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: wasn't It just wasn't going to happen. And you have

720
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 3: to have a feel for how what's going on in

721
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: that ball game and the feel of that game yesterday

722
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: at seventeen and nothing, like, you know what, this is

723
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: just not our day.

724
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 5: Let's get marry On in here. He's played some good

725
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 5: football for its.

726
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: He may give us a spark and may get us

727
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: back in the game, but I can't risk putting Jayden

728
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: back in this game to get him injured.

729
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 5: The No, it's not it's not worth it.

730
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 6: But I think you do bring up a good point, Bram,

731
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 6: because when you said that to me earlier, I was like,

732
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 6: it wasn't seventeen to zero, but it was like it just.

733
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: It was fourteen nothing when they had the interception, seventeen

734
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: to nothing when he would have gone back out on

735
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: the field and did not.

736
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it felt different.

737
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 4: And it's the third coin.

738
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but like three, what happened the very next

739
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 3: series after it was seventeen now when Mariota came in again.

740
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah interception, yeah, right, three interception.

741
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 4: Here's here's the other thing. Just to say this, you know,

742
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 4: because both of these.

743
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Teams had extraordinarily long drives, Like they had a nineteen

744
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: play drive, they ran twelve minutes off the clock. You know,

745
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: Jade only had four series up to this point, and

746
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: two of them were double digit play drives and one

747
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: was aided by a couple of penalties that kept on going.

748
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: That fourth down interception that was thrown they were in

749
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: the red zone, so they twice two out of the

750
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: four drives, he had a fifteen play eighty three yard

751
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: drive that ended up with a turnover on downs and

752
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: a twelve play fifty eight yard drive with almost seven

753
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: minutes off the clock. Two out of four drives they

754
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: moved the ball. It might not have been easy, that's

755
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: for sure. Like I totally agree with that. It wasn't easy.

756
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: That's all I want to say about it. Like he

757
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: didn't have the ball a lot. They moved the ball

758
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: twice successfully in the four drives they had, and they

759
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: chose to go and listen, Like, I don't want to

760
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: get hurt either, you know, I don't know.

761
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 5: He was nine for twenty with an interception. He was

762
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 5: nine for.

763
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 6: Twenty whenn't it was an interception overturned or fumble was

764
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 6: overturned earlier in that drive.

765
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had twelve men on the field.

766
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hit on that play and fumble.

767
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: The teams that have success against the Vikings defense, all

768
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: of them through the year. You have to run the

769
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: ball successfully against them or you're sitting duck because they

770
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: come with blitzes more than anybody in the NFL. They're

771
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: extremely successful at it. That score against Seattle was very deceiving.

772
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: It was twenty six to nothing, but you know, Sam

773
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: Darnold threw for ninety yards in that game at Jackson

774
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba was a disappearing act because their pass

775
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: defense is that kind of level of elite.

776
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 6: No, And I think it goes back to me like

777
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 6: the game flow thing, and then Fletch, I think you

778
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 6: hit something like that a lot of like hardcore, Like

779
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 6: you feel this like obviously my offensive quarter in the

780
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 6: high school level. You feel it in the high school

781
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 6: game so much more acutely because tams run the ball

782
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 6: more than games are a little bit shorter. Yeah, and

783
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 6: this kind of felt and played like a high school

784
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 6: game from a time standpoint because of how long these

785
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 6: drives were taking, and so the number of possessions required

786
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: to come back and win. This game was getting really

787
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 6: tight there late in the game. But I also think

788
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 6: it goes back to Minnesota taking the taking the ball

789
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 6: to start the game, because immediately you put the off

790
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 6: you put our offense. Cliff Kingsbury, the play caller, in

791
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 6: a situation where it's like, now I have to make

792
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 6: up a possession, which is not necessarily true, but you

793
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 6: feel that when you're calling plays.

794
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: You feel that.

795
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 6: I've been on offenses where really bright dudes, Sean McVay,

796
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 6: Kyle Shanahan, really awesome offensive coordinators like that, you can

797
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 6: feel the urgency in the play call come in and

798
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 6: you're like, oh okay.

799
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: And again that's what that does.

800
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 6: And again, when the defense is playing as well as

801
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 6: Minizota's defense was, which you can talk about more detail

802
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 6: in a second, like it, it kind of has this

803
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 6: overwhelming vibe and I think it leads to some of

804
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 6: these decisions when it comes to zowing the football.

805
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think Listen. I mean, you know he

806
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: got injured earlier. With that injury, it you know, perceptually

807
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: it looks awful. Did he walk off the field with it?

808
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: It's impossible not to have human nature to be thinking

809
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: about that like during the course of the game, and

810
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: you know, but that that leads to what I think

811
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: is the bigger question, which I think we all agree on.

812
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: Assuming he's healthy, as we again, we don't know if

813
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: it's just a reaggravation, if he's fine, if there's anything

814
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: new they have to talk about. You want him to

815
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: continue playing, right.

816
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: I do? One million percent? I know, like this, this

817
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: was good.

818
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 6: This is gonna be a tough game for him to

819
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 6: come back anyway, because of all the things we talked

820
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 6: about Minnesota, Like if you look at games that he's

821
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 6: struggled against, struggled in historically, they've been teams like Minnesota

822
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 6: that pressure this way, right, So this is gonna be

823
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 6: a tough game for him regardless. So I wanted him

824
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 6: to play though. I want him to get these reps.

825
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 6: I want him to get these opportunities no matter who

826
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 6: the opponent is. So, like, I'm not as worried about reinjury.

827
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 6: I'm worried about developmental arc for him, which to me

828
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 6: is the is the main thing almost for this football

829
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 6: team in the last four weeks of the season, five

830
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 6: weeks of the season.

831
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, he needs reps.

832
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 3: He just needs reps as from a from a developmental standpoint,

833
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: is a young quarterback se second season in NFL who

834
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: hadn't played a ton of games this year, and he

835
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 3: hasn't played a ton of games. This was what the

836
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 3: third game this season, he had what you would consider

837
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 3: his full compliment of offensive weapons.

838
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 5: So he needs he needs more reps.

839
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: Okay, let me and where we started. Then take me

840
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: into the locker room. You know this is obviously listen,

841
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: this is a long losing streak. Season is not going

842
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form that I even could

843
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: have envisioned the way it would go. So how are

844
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: the players thinking about the last four games?

845
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 4: All division games?

846
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously, when you're in a division game, I

847
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 6: think it kind of provides some level of motivation and

848
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 6: some level of passion. But to me, like I remember

849
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 6: being in twenty eleven, I think we were out of

850
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 6: it early. In twenty thirteen we were out of it

851
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 6: early when I was with the Bears, and sixteen we

852
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 6: were out of early when I was in San Francisco,

853
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 6: we were out of early. And really it becomes like

854
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 6: this is going to sound bad, but it becomes like

855
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 6: I need to take care of my film so that

856
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 6: I have a job next year, right, And like every

857
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 6: scout will tell you this, Every coach told me this

858
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 6: because I was an undrafted free agent like Fletch was.

859
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 6: But it was like, they don't care about the season.

860
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 6: They care about the last three games. They're going to

861
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 6: go watch the last three games of football that you played,

862
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 6: and they don't care about whether you're in the playoffs,

863
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 6: out of the playoffs division opponent. They want to see

864
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 6: a guy go out there and compete. And so that

865
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 6: was something that in those seasons that were really tumultuous

866
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 6: and bad and emotional for different reasons, it was like,

867
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 6: how do I handle my work the best I possibly can?

868
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 6: And people say this all the time, but it's a

869
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 6: professional sport for a reason. And these are the games.

870
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 6: These are the games you get paid for, right. Everyone

871
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 6: says you get paid for practice.

872
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: I bucked that.

873
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 6: You can get paid for buck that too. It's when

874
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 6: nobody wants to play football. You have to go play.

875
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 6: That's why you're getting paid. And these are the games

876
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 6: where you have to go out and put literally your

877
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 6: best foot forward. No one's going to care like you

878
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 6: want to be an fl football player, these are the

879
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 6: games that create that, in my opinion.

880
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 3: Fledg, Well, it also you find out who are the

881
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 3: guys that you want to have in a foxhole with

882
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 3: you when it's when you're going through adversity, everybody wants

883
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 3: to be with you, and when everything is going great

884
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 3: and you're ten and three at this point in the season,

885
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 3: and you know, man, we're going to the playoffs, we

886
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: maybe compete for the division championship, or win a division,

887
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 3: maybe a home first round, home field buy and all

888
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 3: those types of things.

889
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 5: But it's when adversity sets in. You're three and ten, you're.

890
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 3: Coming off with thirty one to zero loss to the

891
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings. Who are the guys that you can lean

892
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: on that's gonna be a leader during the week leaning

893
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 3: up to this ball game, because practice is important to

894
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 3: logan the meeting rooms, making sure you're not allowing conversations

895
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 3: to happen at our devices, because there are times where

896
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 3: you you're on the team and you're playing poorly and

897
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: you'll have these side conversations that continue that divides a team.

898
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 3: You gotta have some guys, Yeah, you got to have

899
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 3: some guys in that locker room that cut that out.

900
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 5: They're like, hey, no, we're not doing that here, We're

901
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 5: going to turn this. They start a.

902
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 3: Negative content conversation, you swinging back to a positive conversation,

903
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 3: and like Logan said, everybody's I mean, at the end

904
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 3: of the day, you're also fight for your own jobs,

905
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: whether he be here or with another team. They're gonna

906
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: be guys who are free agents next year. I think

907
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, probably half the team is or close to

908
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 3: half the team will be free agents next year. So

909
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 3: they're looking at the last three or four games of

910
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: a season, and you really want to look at what

911
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 3: a guy looks like where you're playing for nothing scores

912
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 3: out of hand? Is he continued to still play hard seasons,

913
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: out of the line seasons out of hand we're no

914
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 3: longer making the playoffs. Does he continue to show up

915
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 3: in these tough moments, because those are guys that eventually

916
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 3: when we get back, when he we get this shit

917
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 3: back righting, those are the ones I wanted my team.

918
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, first match up against Jackson Dart two. We played

919
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in Week one with the Giants, so we'll

920
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: get a chance to look at him now. Future quarterbacking

921
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: for the New York Giants. So it'll be interesting this week.

922
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: And the division games are always interesting, no matter what

923
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: the records are.

924
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're always interesting. And again, like it's to me,

925
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 6: it's in some ways it's a blessing. This is going

926
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 6: to sound crazy. Maybe people don't play, but like it's

927
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 6: kind of a blessing to have another opportunity to say, like,

928
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 6: this isn't who we are, Like this Minnesota game is

929
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 6: not the is the exception rather than the rule, and

930
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 6: like we have more opportunities to fix it right, Like

931
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 6: could you imagine if that was the last game you

932
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 6: played of the season, it'd be so incredibly disheartening and frustrating. Like,

933
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 6: at least we've got an opportunity to get it right.

934
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 6: And I know it doesn't it's tough and it's not

935
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 6: right and all those things, but like, gosh, I would

936
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 6: hate to end it so agains. Going against a division

937
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 6: opponent we beat earlier this season. They aren't as diverse

938
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 6: or as complicated as we've seen from Minnesota for example,

939
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 6: seems like a good game to get.

940
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: They're a good football team.

941
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say we're gonna outright win this game,

942
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 6: but it'll be a little bit easier and let everybody

943
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 6: kind of get the return, you know, the get the

944
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 6: band back together this week against New York Giants, I

945
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 6: think might be appropriate.

946
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 4: Yep, all right, we'll see what happens this weekend.

947
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 5: They've been playing competitive football on.

948
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: The Giants, very competitive.

949
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, right at the quarterback spot.

950
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 3: So I'll say this, man, the coaches games like this

951
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 3: season like this, this way, you really have to figure

952
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 3: out ways to get your team ready to play against

953
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 3: the Giants and is what they hey, division opponent, but

954
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: it's gonna be you want to need more than that

955
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 3: to get these guys back ready to play, because I

956
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 3: mean there's a lot of guys who are who are

957
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 3: down after that performance yesterday against the Minnesota Vikings.

958
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: It's a tough one, but they do get another opportunity

959
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: next week up in New Jersey. We'll be there and

960
