Right now, everybody 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.640 in the house hurt. My hurt from drinking cows me 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.639 like I still haven't learned. I'm like, I'm a guy 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.200 that's never been allergic to anything, Like I have never 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.400 had anything off limits. None I can do, but I'm 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.480 learning now. I can't consume the milk drinking it. Wise, 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.920 I could eat cake. I could if it's being in something, 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.360 I could do it. But boy, I was I was 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.399 looking like the dude off of Goonies like three days 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:16.000 ago rock Yeah, I need it was bad, but so 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.920 I'm learning to listen. Maybe I need to just drink 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.240 fair feel. And Plus I had a milk addiction when 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.160 I was young, so I was drinking about the gap. 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.000 Then you both, man, I used to like drink a 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.880 ton of milk. Yeah, so you're an injury reserve because 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.440 the milk. Let's Yeah, let's get into something that you know, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.640 we don't really want to talk about, but we got 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.880 to talk about it. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna recap 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.959 this New York Giants game. And I think it's important 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.440 to say that we are not gonna be here kind 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:43.280 of bashing on the team. We're gonna give honest, constructive feedback, right, 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.240 And a lot of it comes from the idea that 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.560 like when we played, like that's how you would do it. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.840 You come here, you coming on Monday, you take your lumps, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.520 you say how can I get better? And how can 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.520 we apply that to the next opponent. And I know 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.080 there's a lot of people out there right now, a 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.680 lot of the guy guys on talk radio that are 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.240 just going all in, and I don't think that's very 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.120 productive because there's no, it's not. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:03.760 There's no why. And I'm a big wife boy. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.120 We've been in them shoes before, We've been to players 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:07.280 that these people are talking about. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.440 So they don't normally know what's really going on. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.520 They just see the outcome of the game and they 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.840 just want to say, Okay, I'm bashing everybody, any and 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.320 everybody who didn't. 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.120 Make a play, I'm gonna bash. 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.320 And that's the thing about it, and that's what gives 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.359 some of the local guys paralysis by over analysis. They 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.800 think they know more than they do and they just 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.240 looking at it on the surface and saying, oh, this guy, 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:28.960 this guy. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:29.600 You don't know the. 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.079 Game plan, you don't know the matchups, you don't understand football. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.280 And sometimes that makes me mad because I love to 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.799 listen to everybody. It's entertaining, but when you ain't got nothing, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.840 like at the end of the day, it's easy. But 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.560 any given Sunday, we can get beat. People thought the 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.800 Buffalo Bills could not be beat. But you then the Patriots. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.959 The Patriots treat them like they ain't never played ball. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.320 For any given sunday in this league, you can. 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.440 Get beat or you can beat somebody. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.079 And I think that's the thing about the league too, right, 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.680 Like we're getting a little sidetracked. But to your point, Fred, 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.919 like every we're a bunch of professionals, right, a bunch 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.680 of a bunch of grown men with a lot of pride, 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.320 a lot of coaches with a lot of and kids 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.120 and mouse to feet. That's exactly right, and you're gonna 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.760 find a way. You're gonna find a way to get better. Yeah, 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.440 you know, like you have to get better because I 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.000 get like, we can't just tolerate like I've been on 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.440 bad teams. We've all been on bad teams, so you can't. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.359 You can't tolerate losing consistently. You're gonna try and get 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.000 better each and every week, even if even if the 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:23.160 product on the fields are very good. 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:24.480 I think one of the things, and let me say this, 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.240 I think one of the things that makes the area locally, 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.840 you know, when it comes to the media so mad 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.880 and disappointed because it's some of the things that we've 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.480 been experiencing now too. Like when we played the game, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.000 we didn't understand why we got the riff or the 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.480 you know, the flag from some of those folks. Sure, 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.800 but now as sitting in these seats that we've been 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:43.880 sitting in to watch it. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.839 We can't wrap our head around either. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.120 We like, bro, when it comes to just the players alone, 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.640 you haven't seen nothing like this. When it comes to 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.880 and you know, and for pound for pound, you feel 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.160 like you should be in every game. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.120 You should be you should be in every game. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.000 And when you really want to be critical or technical, 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.920 we have been in every game, and it all comes 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.640 down to now, who's gonna make a mistake first or not, 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.720 you know what I mean. And I feel like we've 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.600 seen our side, seeing the guys on our side make 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.200 more mistakes, and that's causing them to be seen in 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.039 this seat now to have to talk about some of 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.840 these losses. So that's how I look at the game, 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.920 and I look at it from a different lens man. 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.880 When I played it, I couldn't understand it because I'm 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.120 like man, I felt but. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.279 You was in the belly of the bees. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.080 Felt high about myself in my game, and I always 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.599 looked at myself as being a superior guy rather I 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.520 put up those numbers or not. And I looked at 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.120 the guys next to me, You on this field with me, 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.719 so obviously you that guy too. But I could never 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.799 wrap my head around then why we was coming away 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.799 the way we did as a whole. 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:43.520 You know what I'm saying. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.920 But I see it differently now, and when I'm watching 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.560 the games and I'm seeing some of these miscues, I 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:49.320 understand why. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.840 So that's something that I think is really interesting because yeah, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.120 like you're you're in the moment and you think as 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.800 a player, you're gonna win the game. 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.320 Yeah, if you trust the game plan. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.240 Like there's been a couple of times Mike Careerry like 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.400 this is a work and that's like on a Tuesday. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.400 But there's other times you're like, this is it and 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.239 then all of a sudden, it's like it's zero to fourteen, 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:06.920 and you're like. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.360 What happened? What happened? 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.200 Like we felt really good about everything we put in 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.480 this week. Practice was good, Meetings went well, and so yeah, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.880 like it can be really tough, and so let's just 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.560 skirt start here, Fred like high level thoughts in the game, 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:19.960 and we'll kind of get into it as we go 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:20.479 through the show. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:22.720 Well, we can also tell the people, Me and you 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.320 got an old dirty mattress rastling league in the meeting room, in. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.600 The production room, textaw Jim. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.120 Duggan versus co Kobe wearing there with a battle of 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:36.200 the minds. You was heavy own feeling like the offense 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:37.240 let the team down. 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.800 I was heavy on the defense. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.000 Yeah, And I don't think either one of those perspectives 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.680 is entirely wrong, but I think there's there's layers to you. 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:46.880 Yeah, it's levity to it. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.520 Now, what was it that you felt defensively? Why? 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.640 Well, because I just feel like they are the group. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.960 And we said, who was gonna anchor this team hold 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.280 us to the ground until this offense find themselves. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.320 That's what we out when the year started. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.400 We're talking about a group that's been in the defense 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.640 for four years. We're talking about the group that shows 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.279 us week in and week out. Chase takes over game, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.760 Pain takes over game, Allen pakes over game. They have 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:17.400 their spots, but never have they this year showed up 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.320 and as a group taken over the game. And if 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.960 you ever was gonna do it, if you were gonna say, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.839 we're gonna dominate this one from the first quarter to 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.599 the fourth quarter, hands down, it was gonna be this week. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.920 With a backup offensive line and four or five guys 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.760 off the street, backup quarterback, which I was more fearful 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.760 Tyrod than I was. Daniel Jones called that on this 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.120 show Wide Receiver Group. I said, this is the week 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:43.320 you dominate. Like Sam is eight games old. I'm only 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.040 gonna put so much in his left and say you're 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.039 responsible for it now because he has played so well 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.280 in spots and led the team most to the way. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.040 Because if I had to pick and choose and say, 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.120 who's been the reason we won this year, has it 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.520 been the offense more than the defense or the defense 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.720 more on the offense? I will give the Allen a 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.640 slight edge right now. So that's where I'm att No, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.560 you're supposed to be here. They supposed to get better 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.080 as the year go on and catch up with you. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.240 So that's what disappointed me, Tanna when it came to that. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:12.880 Don't feel you too, And I don't want to cut 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:13.400 you in Logan. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:14.720 But the reason why I want to jump in because 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.320 I remember coming in yesterday and I said what I said, 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:18.960 not knowing that you and him might just went to 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.880 that spat and I walked into a damn bussaw red 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.160 were looking at me ready to argue. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.920 I'm like, I just sat down, I am. 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.880 Here for this book. You know what I'm saying. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:30.840 But I was saying. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.600 The point I was trying to make is I felt that, 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.600 regardless of what went on Sunday, before Sunday happened, we 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.440 just go at least give up fourteen points. I feel 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.080 like our defense, even when they playing their best, fourteen 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.480 points should be giving up you know what I mean, 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.440 if anybody gonna score that many points. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.440 All ye, they've been scoring thirty plus on our defense. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.280 But I feel like with this. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.560 Giant's offense, what I've saw with you know, with and 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.560 without you know, Dane Jones, yeah, fourteen points should have 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:56.080 been a given. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.240 You know what I mean, if you know, and I 0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:58.920 feel like they did. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.600 They spotted fourteen the first half and didn't give them 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:02.440 nothing in the second half. 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.440 So with that being said, that's why I felt highly. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.560 I felt high about their performance, saying like, look anything 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.920 you played on the same team I played on. Yeah, 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.320 y'all used to tell us, man, hey, this was for 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.440 bingo and got your rest. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.720 But our mindset was whatever it took, you know, That's 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:21.400 how we played. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.280 If we knew we were playing against a team and. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.640 They defense was okay, they defense good A fellas the 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.960 offense might not be have told us today it's up 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:30.360 to us. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.160 Let's go out head and then you gotta realize, this 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:32.640 is what I. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.400 Do know about defense. Most of special teams is made 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.160 up of defensive players. So we got two chances to 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.440 affect the game. We got we got defense and special teams. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.840 Y'all got offense to expect to get afact the game. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.240 I feel like the offense has chance to bear on 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.079 the ending of the game. The defense does more than 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.520 the offense, and I felt like we've been short. 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.760 Yeah, and I think so I don't agree. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.920 I don't disagree with that entirely, like the sense that, like, 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.360 in terms of season, what the expectation was, I totally 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.160 agree with that the defense was supposed to be way ahead. 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.880 We have a young quarterback, new offensive coordinator, all those things. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.480 But in the context of the game on Sunday, I 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.120 look at and I say to myself, like, cause you know, 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.360 I have to pull clips for the breakdown, new clips 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.600 for coaches show, and when you go through and when 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.720 you're pulling clips out, like sometimes it's hard, man, sometimes 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.199 you're like, offensively, it was tough. I found like maybe 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.440 five plays and you're like, Okay, these will work. But 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.760 outside of that, on defense, I was in like the 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.040 fifties of like numbers and you go back and watch them, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.120 and it was really hard for me to select down 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.200 to kind of say, oh, this, this one's better than 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.400 this one. Like I look at the defensive line, like 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.120 Alan had two tackle for losses, pain At two tackle 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.319 for losses and a force fumble. Right, Chase had a 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.480 who bunch of pressures. Right, Montees was excellent in the 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.040 run game. Right John Ridgeway showed up in a big 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.560 dramatic way like that front, like almost every single play 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.400 they had sixty eight defensive snaps was good from them, good, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.360 you know, and then there was some moments of great right, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.400 and so was it the dominance that we expected? 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:56.960 I don't know. But then I look at and. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.560 I say, this team, this defensive line specifically has precedent 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.640 of like when teams call a balanced game plan, they 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.720 run the football, lot play action, keepers quick game, it 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.360 really negates their effectiveness. And when you look around the league, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.280 like that's true of really good defensive lines. Right, that's 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.520 and so so I guess what I was kind of 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.760 calling attention to is like that was good, Saint Juice 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.719 was good, Fuller was good in the back end right, 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.920 and there was some stuff with Jamen in terms of coverage, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.679 but on the whole, like he did some good stuff too, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.920 like a year. Yeah, So like, so that's what I'm saying, Like, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.080 I think outside of maybe four explosive plays. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.880 There you go, but they're going to four. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.760 But but so sixty So sixty I'm not gonna say. 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.480 But hypothetically sixty four plays, sixty four plays were very 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:40.959 good yep. 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.199 So is that the blueprint to kind of keep on 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.320 defense at bait? 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.040 So that's what I'm saying. So, like, this is my 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.880 point is that when you can manage the game flow 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.720 like the Giants did and say we're gonna never depart 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.120 from our offense, we're never gonna have to get outside 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.520 of basically like a forty five of fifty five split 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:02.000 in terms. 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.480 Of rush the pass. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.520 So what I'm going to tell you is I think 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.280 the offense dictates that more because the second we get up, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.720 like imagine if the score was fourteen to zero and 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.640 the Giants gotta throw the ball and all of a 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.199 sudden we got to get eligibles out. 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:16.400 We can't have Chip Hill. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.880 And now imagine that defensive line and imagine Tyrod Taylor 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.240 just getting eight back there. And so that's what I'm 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.319 saying to me. The offense went three and out and 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.880 they basically ran third down in the first half. I 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.000 think they had They had five three and outs, one 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.880 four and out in the first half. So if I'm saying, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.920 if we needed to dictate game flow offensively to let 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.760 the defense be aggressive and let them eat, and so 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.440 to tennis point, they scored fourteen points, I'm like, ideally 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.240 you want zero, right in a perfect world, do you 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.480 want zero? But like, it's it's offensive football in twenty 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.160 twenty three. And I've said this on the podcast before, 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.320 so much of the rule base is geared toward the offense. 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.120 But it's also did lowest year in four years of 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.560 the defensive touchdowns passing the ball. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.440 Defenses are catching up. They're catching up because now. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:12.480 They went from blitz very blitz happy to coverage happier. Like, 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.440 so now they're in this being but don't break, but 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.559 make plays force the quarterback to beat you. Now, when 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.400 I play played with a young Patrick Ramsey at quarterback, 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:22.480 our view on. 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:23.600 Defense was different. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.880 We can ever get behind fourteen to z Row, we're 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.880 not built like that, Like we got a guy learning, 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.319 they got a guy on the second. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.520 Contract often to say we not built like that either. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.920 But sometime that stuff happens. And we've seen that more 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.040 this year than we've seen any year. We've been playing 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.240 from behind more games than we've been playing you know. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.760 And I said that the defense, not the offense, because 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.000 my offense is my youth. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.600 But think about it, a great offense is almost makes 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.920 the defense a great office integrate. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.120 Defense, so that what I would say is like they 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.040 didn't score their first seven until the second quarter. Yeah, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.600 so by that point we had had fourth rene outs. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.560 And I think if we just do anything offensively, anything 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.200 at all, we got a six play drive, seven play drive, 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.600 kick a field goal. I'm not even sure that happens 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.120 quite honestly. I think the game flow feels totally different. 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.080 I think offense a defense is much pressure. All those 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.200 things factor in. So I'm not saying that you what 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.160 you're saying, friends, one hundred percent correct. Like the expectation 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.800 for the defense this year has been slightly disappointing, right 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.640 because we thought they were going to be a top 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.560 ten group, right, five top five group. Whatever it is, right, 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.480 I will say year to the year, there's a huge 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.600 regression in terms of defense efficiency based on strength of schedule. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.960 Schedule a little bit better this year aggression in terms 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.319 of that category. The thing I'm a little disappointed in 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.840 this game specifically, right is you knew that Ring Martineau is. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:41.920 Gonna come bring a ton of pressure. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.719 Yeah, and it just seemed like we weren't prepared. It 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.440 seemed like we weren't prepared. However, when you watch the film, 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.000 different it was. It was prepared. We just didn't execute offense. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.520 And did go to differency is coming into this year, 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.160 I'm expecting saying I'm not to execute all the time, 0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.240 but expecting him to go through learning curves. Ain't in 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.880 on the job, and most people don't understand how hard 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.600 that is. Like who taking up the slack for who? 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.920 Like every team has that identity where oh right, it's 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.439 gonna take them a little long to get right. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:12.600 We got to do it. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.200 For the beginning of the year, I felt like the 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.680 offense have overdid their barons. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.160 Expecting Sam to have his his day, his daily You know, 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.240 I guess you can call it ups and downs, but 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.240 I also expect the guys that played in this league 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:28.000 before to. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.680 Be that much sharper, you know what I mean. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.520 Like I mean, I feel like I feel like when 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.640 you have a when you when you're on the team, 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.440 and we've all been somewhere. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.320 Where we had to carry somebody. 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.920 We've all been somewhere where we had to like even 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:42.480 in our households, you had to carry. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.040 You to the line, or your wife might have to 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.920 carry you twice first. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:46.400 You know what I mean. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.600 So you understand that, Okay, if I'm carrying it, then 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.440 that means I got to do much more out here 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.640 to make sure that I can pay my bills and 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.680 I can do all the other stuff we need to do. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.680 Same way in the game football game, if I feel 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.280 like I have a young quarterback as a receiver, I 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.480 gotta no matter. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:04.920 What ball you throw to me, I gotta stay on 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:05.760 the morning to be open. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.760 I gotta make sure I bring it down because I 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:08.880 want to boost his confidence. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:09.920 I want to boost you know what I mean. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.120 Yeah, I have to do that much more to make 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.280 sure that you know that seventy five percent of what 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.440 we're going to get from him, it looks like eighty 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.480 five to ninety percent. So that's how I feel when 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.360 I'm watching us offensively. We know he's young enough to 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.240 say it about that being him being young, that ain't 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.040 the question no more, what can I do more at 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.400 my position individually to make us better? 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.280 And I think that's the thing that gets me is 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.680 that it was in the game offensively, there were so 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.960 many kind of physical and mental errors and with regards 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.200 to the game plan that just made it non tenable. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.480 And even if you executed fifty percent efficiency, Yeah, you're 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.680 not looking at the it's it's totally different. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.760 It's totally different and all. And I know what you 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.640 mean because you hold a standard there. 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.320 I totally I dig it. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.200 Yeah, but you said and we can run from the 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.800 young poor because he is he by week tweet'll be 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.200 he'll be a bitch. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.200 But also coordinator is a first year coordinator. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:08.800 So but like that's what like, So let me just 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.280 let me just double click on this for a second. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.280 So like you look at the first drive right, and 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.400 I'm trying to remember the exact sequence, but essentially it's 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.360 a run, a pass and then but yeah, no, but 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.640 then like it was it was basically like second and 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.840 seven second and eight and then it's a sack and 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.320 it's the left guard not picking up a protection or no, 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.880 it's it's it's uh, it's Nick Gates losing a physical 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:30.640 matchup against Lawrence. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:30.960 Right. 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:32.640 So then it's third and twenty two. You complete the 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.000
