WEBVTT - Offensive Identity & Breaking Down the Win Over the Vikings | Salty Dogs 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.000 What do you call two guys that were there when 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.040 this happened? Back to return at Spurlock Michael Spurlock at 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:08.200 the chin, he's still the twenty he's the twenty five 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:13.280 thirty to fourty yardline history, fifty forty the thirty yards. 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.440 I don't like Michael Rout. Michael Rut, Michael run stop 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.520 tap day, here you go, and that sixty two yard 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:27.840 for your goal attempts. It is God, God, God, God 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.720 box Eagles, who can forget again? I'm looking again those 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:38.720 already Bucks, Diredy touchdown tamp a Day, Derek Books, most 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.240 variable player, you're the national football like there it is 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.240 tun Daggers and where are you gonna win the Super Bowl? 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.320 We call them the salty Dogs. Hello, they're all you 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.960 fucking your fans and welcome to my podcast, which I 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.400 do all by myself. And you're really good, Eddie, because 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.160 that you do double voices, even talked to both at 0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.880 the same time. That's how you have friends. You talked 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:01.840 to yourself. But it's amazing to be able to do 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.240 both posts voices at the same time. All right, I 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.280 was lying to you, you would be on Ted mac 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.560 Amateur Hour. I'm only one Dog. Our title gives us away, 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.279 salty Dogs. I have no idea what you're talking about about. 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.640 Don't you remember? Don't you remember the Ted mac amate 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.200 grounds is from like the sixties. Yeah, I only lived 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.400 through nine months of the sixties, the last nine and 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.120 you don't watch Nickelodeon or anything like that. Okay, all right, 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.839 so we're the salty Dogs on Scott Smith and Jeff 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.200 we are. Well. I I guess my. The way I 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.800 would say it is, I am breathing a big side 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:40.080 relief after that game. Oh yes, not to say, see, 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.160 I'm in that twelve hour mode. I'm like a coach. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.240 I celebrate the victory. Yeah, but we have to talk 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.720 about it, yes, and there's a lot to talk. So 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.440 we didn't try to shy away from the importance of 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.000 this game beforehand, nor did the coaches are players, you know, 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.800 I think I even described why it was the most 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.600 important of the remaining four games. You did mainly because 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.720 we do not want them to have an opportunity to 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.280 go head to head in a wild gad and they 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.240 would have passed us. Actually right now, we would be 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:07.760 out of the playoff picture. We would be we would 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.480 be the eighth seed. If we'd lost. Crazy, isn't it 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.799 one game changes so much at this time of year. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.440 It was, Um, I'm not saying I'm a side relief, like, 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:16.880 oh I thought we were gonna lose them. We want 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.040 just that I knew how important that game was and 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.000 anybody anything could happen if Vikings could have won that game. 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.280 And then I was just thinking about how it wouldn't 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.320 be bleak, but it would be just every week would 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.000 be so much more tense. Well, you're you're also coming 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.680 off at two game losing streak. You had to buy week, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.480 and you feel like, this is a game if you 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.720 should win this game, you have four left, this you have, 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.800 this is the one you should go. Well, no, we 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.520 needed this one specifically because it was Minnesota. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.679 but I'm just saying it's not what it wasn't the 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.120 kill all, kill all if they didn't get it. But 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.320 here's what it did do. Before that game, the Buccaneers 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.200 knew that if they won all four their remaining games, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.720 they would definitely be in. And then we thought if 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.720 we won three, we'd probably in. Now because of what 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.720 has happened, the Bucks only have to win two of 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.720 their final three, and they will definitely be in no 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:07.280 matter what anybody else does. Did you know that I do? Now? Well, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.080 I got the standings printed out here just to make 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.880 sure I didn't say something wrong. So here's the point, Jeff. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:16.320 We're eight and five Atlanta, Detroit. Atlanta, win two of 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.640 those in your ten and six there are okay, So 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.040 one of the playoff spots is going to go to 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.040 a team without ten wins because it's gonna be the 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:28.239 NFC East champion. And the best any of those could 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.640 be is nine and seven. But then there are only 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.000 six other teams, including the Buccaneers, that can get to 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.600 ten wins. So that's the seven top teams. If you 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.600 get to ten, uh, you should be there. Minnesota can't 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.800 catch you, Chicago can't catch you, Detroit of course, or 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.920 San Francisco. None of them can catch you. So two 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.600 out of the last three, Jeff, I said, get three 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.040 out of three? Oh I know, just just well, I mean, 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.920 if you win all three of them and finish eleven 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.720 and five first of all, eleven and five feels pretty good. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.680 That's the same record we had then. We thought that 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.520 was a very very good team. It um, Yeah, they 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.640 went all the way to within like two minutes of 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.840 the Super Bowl Bird of Manual, but um eleven and 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.400 five would feel great. It's just it may not. It 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.120 may not change anything. Because they're in the Rams in Seattle. 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.160 They're both playing well, I mean as interesting enough. The 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.719 nine four. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, I have to 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.200 really look at this schedule real quick. But I think 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.400 they play each other again, Yeah, they do. They play 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.080 each other, and also Arizona is in there. Arizona plays 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.160 the Ramps, so they're gonna be beating each other up. Well, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.520 they might, they might, But what if the Rams win 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.680 both of those games? That's actually what we want, sure, 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.919 because then they let them run away with the division. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.839 We don't care who wins the division. I mean, we 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.800 don't care about we We'd rather than win the division, 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.680 so we don't have to worry about them as a tiebreak, correct, 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.039 since they beat us and we don't play Seattle. And 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.880 the first thing it would come down to is I 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.400 believe conference record, and right now Seattle has one better 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.120 than us in the conference, so we're gonna need some 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.960 help to even move up from six to five even 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.840 if we sweep and there, Well, it's if it ended 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:05.080 right now, we would be going to be into Green Bay. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.440 Uh no, they're they got to buy right now. We'd 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.280 be going to the Rams because the two through seven 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.240 scenes would match New Orleans with Arizona, the Rams with 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.840 us in Washington with Seattle. You know, I say that, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.040 but then after I said, I hate that because where 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.000 would have what would happen if it ended today? Well, 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.760 it's not ending to so it's but this is a 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:29.040 reasonable picture standings could be. And if you look at 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.760 that polaroid snapshot you gave us, you would find out 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.919 that we're in pretty good shape. Yeah, I like it. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.240 I feel good and and we I mean, I know 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.200 you want to claim every single team in the league 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.479 is fantastic and every game is the hardest game ever. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.000 But we are playing two games against a four nine 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.760 team and one game against a what is Detroit? They're 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.000 five and eight, they've already fired their head coach, their 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.680 quarterback is now dealing with Well, you're you're absolutely right 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.920 when you say that, You're absolutely right. However, I am 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.320 going to point out that the Philadelphia Eagles happened to 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.520 beat the New Orleans Saints, who happened to take us 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.599 out twice. Yes, they beat him, they beat him starting 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.840 a guy making his first start a quarterback to Yes, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.640 And so you say to me, well, I'm just saying, 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.160 at this time of year, you you can play the spoiler, 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.000 but in which Atlanta will really want to do. Yeah. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:24.760 And Philadelphia's case, though, they're still in the shot. They 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.640 got a shot at winning the division. They got a 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.520 shot there four eight and one, So they're they're a 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.000 game and a half out, I think, But I think 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.440 they play each other again. It's kind of like either way. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.280 You know, you have a division matchup in weeks. Yeah, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:38.800 but that was you know, that was that was a 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.480 good game. I mean, that's but here's what you're performance. 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.640 Here's what you're doing, Jeff. And it's called um confirmation bias. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.240 Confirmation bias. You have a theory and you are only 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.080 recognizing the evidence that you see that supports your theory. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.599 Because yes, Philadelphia beat New Orleans. But most of the 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.640 time this year, when a team that was clearly better 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.240 than the other team, the better team in all the time, 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.680 Pittsburgh loss to what do you think we're a better 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.600 team than Chicago? Yes? Yes, And that's still the game 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.800 that bugs me because we should have won that even 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.080 not playing particularly well. We should have. That's why I'm saying. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.560 This is all I'm saying is I totally understand you know, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.600 but you're only bringing it. Let's go through every week 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.240 of the schedule and see which one's fit into. Oh, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.560 anybody can beat anybody, and which one's fit into. Usually 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.640 the better team wins. Is Green Bay better than us? Probably? 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.280 But that's all you're doing. I'm just asking the same 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.280 thing you have said to me. Look at the schedule 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.000 I have. You're not looking at the schedule. You're just 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.040 remembering games that fit into your theory. I'm remembering games 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.920 that we played. Okay, we're better than the Chargers. We 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.320 beat the Chargers, better than Broncos. We beat the Broncos. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.760 We're better than the Panthers. We beat the Panthers twice. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.400 But that's why you played the game. I understand that, 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.080 And yes, you're correct, we should. The Bucks will be 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.800 favored in each of the last three games. Let's put 0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:01.800 it that way. And oh yeah, sure so, But if 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.160 you don't show up, would you rather have two games 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.400 left against Atlanta, one against Detroit, or two games left 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.200 against New Orleans and one against Kansas City? Of course, well, 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.960 then you're admitting my point. Okay, okay, moving on. However, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.080 that being said, you just don't know. So, um, I 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.960 guess ro Joe got pins put in his pinky today. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.200 Do you think of a Sunday Ye? I think he will. 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:23.640 I think he will too. I don't you know what 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.280 I did not which hand was it? Do you know? 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.120 I think it was his left is I can't picture 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.200 if he commonly carries with one on the I believe. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.040 I believe Bruce arians made the comment that it was 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.400 his left and it was kind of like the way 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.200 Godwin did it when he went down. Oh yeah, that 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.839 type of action. That makes sense. So it's apparently it 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.760 happened pretty early and he played all through the end. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.360 His two best runs were right at the end of 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.520 the game. Tough guy, all right, So did you know? 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.320 Probably not? Okay, So do you realize we only had 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.280 the ball for twenty minutes and fifty seven second I 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.959 did know that. Did you know that's the least amount 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.600 the time of possession the Buckeers have ever had in 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.839 and win. I did not know, because generally when you're 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.040 out TP two to one, you're not winning. But we did, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.040 and it was a weird game, and often that if 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.920 if you do, if you are winning with a low 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.920 time in possession, it's because you're getting like pick sixes, 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.199 so their offenses out there for a while, you get 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:19.679 to pick six and then their offenses out there for 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.240 a while again. But that didn't happen either. There was 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.120 there was technically one turnover in that game. I always 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.600 thought that was kind of dumb. If you force a 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.760 fumble on fourth down, on a fourth down play that 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.240 didn't get the first down, but you force a fumble 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.520 and recover it, it's a turnover because even if they recover, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.600 you get the ball. I don't think that you count 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.000 as a turnover. I'm glad where you're giving credit for one, 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.880 but I say I agree with you on that one. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.840 You're right. It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make anything. 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.719 It didn't doesn't matter. You didn't do anything. I mean 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.520 you did, but it doesn't. If they had gotten the 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.720 first down and then fumble, that would be different. Yeah, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.560 So in that game that what I'm getting to with 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.880 that is early on, it was another one of these 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.240 games we've had recently. Early on, it sure doesn't look good, right, Uh, 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.920 they we had we couldn't tack We couldn't get uh 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.040 Dalvin Cook on the ground at first contact, the the 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:10.360 yards after contact that that entire team manufacturing that game 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.840 was incredible. I think we missed something. That's what Bruce says. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.440 Sometimes they missed tackles and sometimes they were got making 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.400 a good move, right, But yeah, I get the point. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.960 We were not there. And and to be fair, Dalvin 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.400 Cook is one of the best in the league, and 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.240 the numbers supported at the Chector contact and so he 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.880 was doing to us what he's been doing everybody else. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.000 And he was the first hundred yard rusher we've given 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.760 up since Seattle last year. UM. But it didn't feel 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.480 good because they had the long drive and then I 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.520 think Shaq got the big third on sack and they 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.480 punted UM. So they didn't get anything out of that one. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.600 And then we went three and out, and then they 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.800 had another long drive that took up the rest of 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.800 the first quarter, and they scored early in the second 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.000 quarter to go up six nothing. At this point, we've 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.640 had five plays, so I guess it wasn't No. Three 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.520 and now we had the first down. We've had five 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.200 plays in the game, right, and you're like these we 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.760 can't we can't say, but here's what it's only. Yeah, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.520 I know exactly because they kept missing field goals and 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.840 because we kept making big third down place like another 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.520 shack sack and Carlton Davis is uh. I'm pointing where 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.560 it happened because we're in the stadium. His third down, 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.560 that really acrobatic third down pass break up at the 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.520 last second. Great play, it was an excellent play. All 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.000 of a sudden, we get the lead. And now this 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.840 grinded out offense that that as all Minnesota could do 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.400 on that day, which was so advantageous when they were 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.240 in control of the game, is working against him. We 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.880 get up seventeen six and then twenty three six by 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.959 scoring a touchdown in to start the second half, and 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.679 then they did score touchdown on the next drive, but 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.280 took eight and a half minutes. They needed three scores 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.000 and it took him eight and a half minutes to 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.920 get one of them. It's funny you were saying that 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:51.840 because I made the comment at this pace. Yeah, I 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.400 believe in the third quarter, and I don't have a 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.920 sheet on me today, but I believe in the third quarter, 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.680 each team only had the ball once. Is that right 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.000 close to six because of our first drive took at 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.920 least five and six and a half minutes. Then, yeah, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.280 it was it was I remember things close, Yeah, very close. 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.959 It was one of those if if Minnesota got the 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.959 ball again. It was at the very tail end of 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.679 the third. It's kind of like, what is going on 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:24.560 If you're leading by eleven and you um after after 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.480 half and each team gets one touched on drive in 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.199 in the third quarter, that's to your favor obviously, because 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.360 even although they ended up picking up two points because 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:33.959 we missed our extra point and they went for two, 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.120 so it wasn't quite even, but you get the point. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.480 And then another drive I think it was the one 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.120 that got the first and goal to nine. I'm pointing 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.800 again like this is helpful to the listeners, it's helpful 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.080 than to me. And then the windfield sack and the 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.920 shack sack and another missfield goal that was also like 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.160 a seven and a half minute drive that scored nothing. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.920 So there they probably because of the style of defense 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.360 that we were playing, because they do have some big 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.360 play receivers, they couldn't not hit big plays. The tight 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.839 ends got a few, but otherwise they could not hit 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.559 big plays, and even though Dalvin Cook was getting extra yards, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.160 he wasn't getting twenty five yard carries. You know, he 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.360 was getting nine where you should get three, and that sucked. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.600 But it wasn't. They couldn't score quickly at all. And 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.320 I guess they give Todd Bowl's credit for that UM 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.160 because they just simply could not hit big plays. They'll 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.320 both those justin Jefferson Adam DeLand are big play receivers totally. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.880 And one of them had along a seventeen and one 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.440 of him along a fifteen and they had like seven 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.600 eight yards between them. That's great. And defense played really 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.840 well well other than the tackle. Yeah, other than tackling. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.160 I I uh, six sacks you got rush was awesome. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.880 You gotta get excited about that. I think it's I 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.160 think it's interesting. In the last two games, Shack has 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.680 been on the right side and has really done well, 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.439 so Being made the comment that when you're hot, you 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.920 stay with it, So I think he's on the right side. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.400 They've been basically letting Shack and JPP decide, and they 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.480 moved Shack two games ago because they really liked the 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.840 matchup against that particular left tackle UM and then I 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.360 guess they stuck with it and it's work and those 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.280 guys are great now. And not only do you get 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.319 six sacks, but I'm going to go off the top 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.439 of my head, but three of them we're on third down, well, 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.439 both of shocks and then a fourth down. JPPS was 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.360 on fourth, both the shocks were on third, and I 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.120 think Patrick O'Connors was on how about the third his 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.640 first second we had him, Yeah, yeah, and he was 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.720 kind of a grinder, you know. After we had talked 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.360 to him, we both looked at each other and said, 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.400 he's kind of like that, you know, lunch pal kind 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.720 of guys just keep pushing away. Originally a late run 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.080 draft pick, though I think Detroit An. He mean to 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.920 comment about what I asked him about being on the 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.640 practice squad and what do you need to do, and 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.760 he said, you gotta treat it like you're gonna go. 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.800 You're gonna go, and he's taken opportunities. Well, what what 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.600 he got? What did it for him? And he was 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.760 smart and a lot of a lot of young players 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.280 realize this. They don't need me to tell him, but 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.480 you got to really put everything you got into special teams. 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.120 If you get a shot. There was a there was 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.200 a two games ago, and I think it was Gregman 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.760 of the Athletic who pointed out, so I'm giving him 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.000 credit as I didn't notice, but he played like every 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.800 play on special teams. You don't normally do that because 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:11.240 that means you're only you would notice, Yes, so you're on. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.840 That means you're even on field goal and extra point, 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.760 which just not a lot of defensive guys on that. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.080 Usually just basically your offense, your offensive line with a 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.640 couple of extra linemen and there may be a tight 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.320 end or something and a snapper and a holder and 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.280 a kicker, so to be on every so he's covering, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.520 he's blocking for kicks, he's on all of them. And 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.520 and now in that game, it clearly looked like we 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:38.880 were rotating in Nelson, Anthony Nelson, Patrick O'Connor and uh Uh. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.600 I guess those two guys a lot more than we 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.120 normally do early and often we were. We were doing 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:45.800 more of a rotation, I guess, to try to keep 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.520 these guys fresh, and it worked. They were very fresh 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.240 at the end of the game, and you had guys 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.920 that were coming in and we're delivering. So it wasn't 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.800 like you're saying, well, okay, we gotta give a guy 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.640 a blow. We're gonna go ahead and and and you 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.120 know we're gonna chance it here. Yeah. I mean, he 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.480 didn't change calling the defense at all, depending on who 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:08.880 was in there. So the Bucks started slowing offense. Um. Yeah, 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.640 and there was a couple of misthrows. But look, what's 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.000 sometimes you don't you don't you don't finish the games, 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:17.680 you finished gaming. You don't think that wasn't one of 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.320 our best efforts When you look back at it, however, 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.920 the stats show some pretty telling things. And that's why 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.800 I think Bruce arians was so clearly happy about his 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.000 team's performance. He said, I thought we played great. Other 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.480 than the tackling, I thought we played great and on offense. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.120 It was one of his best quotes of the year. 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.880 You know, he's the people have been throwing that identity 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.120 question out of me. But by the way, do you 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.760 remember when they did that to Green Bay last year? 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.800 Every week green Bay's offense doesn't have an identity, Well, 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.240 how about they score a ton of points and win 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.400 almost every game? Is that a good enough? I didn't 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.720 I tell you what I tell you last week? More 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.760 than that. That's right. So now we're getting all those 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.000 same questions a week after week do you have an identity? 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.160 Do you have an identity? And Bruce is like, we 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.000 can do a lot of things. And so after that 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.240 game he goes, somebody's asking me about our identity. Look 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.240 at this game. We could do anything we want. He 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.639 had a damn in there. We can do we can 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.440 we can do any damn thing. We can throw the ball, 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.360 we can run the ball, we can throw it deep, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.600 we can throw it short. We did we can do 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.120 twelve personnel, which we can do eleven personnel. Um. I'm 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.320 gonna take a slight digression here before we get back 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:25.800 to my point that there's a certain uh Sports NFL 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:31.080 coverage website, Um that it just seems so intent on 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.320 writing stories about how much Antonio Brown is playing every game, 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.160 and so Antonio Brown's playing time skyrockets, and then after 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:42.760 this one, the article was Antonio Brown's playing time plummets 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.800 against the Vikings. But it didn't. It didn't. It mean, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.439 by the this is what's called looking at the numbers 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.520 and not understanding the context. So against Kansas City, Brown 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:57.199 played like se the offensive snaps and the reason for 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.359 that is, first of all, if you look at the 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.080 snap pattern since we got him, he is clearly our 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.919 number three receiver. He's after Mike and Chris play almost 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.679 every snap, and then the next guy by far is 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.320 Antonio Brown. What that should tell you, if you understand football, 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.040 is that he's the third receiver in the eleven personnel. Okay, 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.919 eleven personnel is three receivers, one back, one tight end. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:25.240 Twelve personnel is one back, two receivers, two tight ends. Okay. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.800 The Buccaneers have gone back and forth in games this year. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.080 Like Caroline, we ran a lot of twelve and ran 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.159 the ball all really, well, Kid's City, you're losing by 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.600 a bunch. We ran a lot of eleven in Las 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.760 Vegas where we were just passing the ball. Great, we 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.000 ran a lot of eleven. So if you're using a 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.680 lot of eleven, your third receiver, which is Antonio Brown, 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.560 is gonna get a lot more snaps. Kid's City. He 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.200 played snaps because we were or something like that, because 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:55.400 we were in eleven like seven two percent at the time. 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:01.080 Against Minnesota, we were only an eleven personnel about fifty 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.920 five percent of the time, and we only had like 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:08.520 forty eight play forty nine plays, and we ran like 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.000 seven more times than we threw. We only threw twenty 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.560
