It will 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.800 be the Cincinnati Bengals, who they are going to play 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.519 in primetime on Monday at Football at pay Course Stadium. 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.000 And how the Commanders do this even though it feels 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.440 even though they are rozhero and two, how do how 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.520 do they come out with an upset here? And we're 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.080 going to debate that and with me we have Scott Jackson. 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.000 You can find them on the Scott jacks Jon Espn 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:57.920 Righty the Big one hundred on gay Dads for the 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.080 Commanders and the Legendary Chicken and is currently working for 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.919 USA nine and CBS Sports has been the business for ever. 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.520 Guys, how y'all doing careful with that forever?

Huh do you like that intro? 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:15.839 That's tremendous as someone who is just cracking into thirty forever? 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.560 Is you know anything previous nineteen ninety two? 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:20.040 Yeah? 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.559 Yeah, yeah, well, yes, I have been in the business. 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.400 Loan's you've been alive, So that's true, Zach. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.839 Yes, that is not the age you there. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.479 But all right, so before we get into the nitty gritty, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.280 we're gonna explain exactly what we're gonna what's gonna be 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.800 happening over the next thirty minutes or so. We're going 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.600 to debate on three questions, one on offense, one defense 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.160 and more general question here. Uh, and these guys will 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.399 be given points, but they it was more the more 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.400 subjective than anything else. We should be more important is 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.640 the information and the takes that these guys have because 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.280 they are some of some of the experts that we 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.320 have here who cover the Washington Commanders. But since it's 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.160 my podcast, I can decide who the winning the loser 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.560 is sendence without further ado, Let's just get into it. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.040 Starting with one of the biggest questions Washington has to answer, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:06.240 how do you get to put. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.080 Pressure on Joe Burrow? 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.120 Because you know his numbers don't literally look all that 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.519 book tackle the rights around the middle league and yards 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.760 middle league and in passerating in QBR right now. But 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.400 this is still a guy who had bat to back 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.959 four thousand yard seasons with the comeout player of the year, 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.160 has thirty plus touchdowns in. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.639 Twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two. 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.720 This guy is still going to be able to hurt 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.720 the Commanders in a lot of different ways. It's an 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.480 interesting challenge for Joe a junior. So, uh, shape will 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.919 start with you, what is the what can Joe junior 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.280 do to put more pressure on Joe Burrow? 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.200 Well, first off, you know, Scotty, did you know this 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:44.320 was a half an hour? And did you know we 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:45.079 were debating each other? 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.160 I mean I did not know. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.720 Now I'm learning all this as well, and I didn't 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.200 know we you know, we had to score points. 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.880 Okay, yeah, this is this is news to us young 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.640 to the young guy, the senior writer. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.639 Uh, just a little lacking in the info. This is 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:57.160 gonna be great. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.360 I'm gonna I'm gonna come as best like to simply 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.840 can what can Joe Witt Junior do? 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:04.280 Ah? 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.080 Wow, that's a great it's a great question. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.079 Well, first off, he'd love to take Cliff Kingsbury out 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.680 to dinner and say, hey, dude, can you hold the 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.880 ball for an extra long amount of time? Can you 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.799 get can you win the time possession battle? That's number one? 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.000 Keep the Bengals offense off the field. I don't know 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.760 what Joe Witt Jnr. Can do other than have his 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.960 guys step up. Well, we had one sack last week Cleveland. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:29.960 I don't. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.080 I don't know because quite frankly, I don't have confidence 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.320 in the secondary yet. I don't have that yet, So 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.400 I don't. They got to figure out a way to cover. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.720 And can you push Joe Burrow a little bit? Sure 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:49.480 you can, but I'm gonna fail. I'm gonna sorry now, 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.520 I'm gonna lose this opening battle because I don't know 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.480 if you can put extra pressure on Joe Burrow. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:55.040 You can't. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.560 You can't blitz and leave your your corners on an 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.240 island because right now the commander's corners have proven that 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.120 they can't be on an island yet. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.040 It's they're not there yet. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.760 Communication issues are an issue, all of it. They got 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.000 better last week, but right now I'd love for them 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.560 just to be able to cover more than pressure Joe 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.240 burn Now, I don't want Joe Barrow sitting back there, 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.000 you know, doing his thing so much. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:21.640 We got we got issues. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:27.720 So just this on aside for a second. The opening 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.400 the opening text that I sent both of you highlighted 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.360 that yes, you two would be debating over three questions 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.760 about about the team, and it would be at the 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.560 end here it said it will take you about thirty minutes. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.720 So just just so you know the technical information, is 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.279 this the text from like two weeks ago? 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.400 Don't Yeah, you don't have that? 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:48.960 It is? 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.080 Okay, Well, you know I'm a senior now, so my 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.280 memory doesn't quite work as well as you used to. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.200 Yeah, you already said chick's been around forever. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.520 Yeah, I already been around forever. Apparently the memory is 0:04:58.560 --> 0:04:59.680 not around for that completely. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.720 Am I talking with again? I'm sorry? Okay, good? Uh 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.480 that's that's my that's that's my that's my answer right now. 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.680 I don't I just Tehn JR. Can can? 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.880 I think he's got to really get his backers and 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.240 secondary guys covering more than pressuring Joe Burrow. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.480 I'd love for them to pressure. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.960 And and but you know, the two DT's in there, 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.200 they're they're some of the best. But I haven't seen 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:24.880 a whole lot of pressure so far in the first 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:25.600 two games. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.280 Fair point on that, now, Scott, I'm gonna go over 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.640 to you because Chick also brought up a good point 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.920 about the communication errors and it's you know, and dan Quin. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.880 So they did get a little bit better against the Giants, 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.920 but he's tried as going from a D to a C. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.720 Uh So, how what kind of problems now? 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.719 They do have Jamar Chase, they have Tiggins Higgins who's 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.920 training towards playing on Monday. Uh So, Scott, like, what 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.520 what is your biggest issues with the secondary going against this? 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.719 Uh? This, these wide receivers that Joe bur is gonna 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.799 be thrown to, Well. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.920 I mean it's a it's a huge, huge challenge. I 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.520 mean this, you know, Cincinnati has not been great, although 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.440 they were a lot better last week against that Kansas 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.040 City defense and even with like a very small production 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.040 from Jamar Chase. And you know it's gonna come for 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.240 Chamar Chase at some point or another. That's what's that's 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.520 what's goind of were you and look that the commanders 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.159 have had an issue getting home with four. Uh, they've 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.400 had an issue even when they blitzed his chick pointing 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:17.680 out of the back end. You don't want to make 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.640 a living doing that against Burrow Beau. He he'll carve 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.560 you up with the blitz. And you know he's sneaky 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.279 mobile too. I mean he can still move despite that 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.680 a cl injury his rookie season, So he's he's a 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.520 guy that can beat you with his legs when he 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.840 needs to as well if if you're if you're undisciplined 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.920 and lead gaps open or and he's also going to 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.640 climb in the pocket and throw it on the move. 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.720 So I would be you know, I would be more 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.400 along the lines that you got to really try to 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.240 mix it up and just hope, you know, really to 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.600 me this game, you know, you know, jumping ahead to 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.600 question three, it's really about about taking the air out 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.640 of the football, you know, more than anything, kind of 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.160 like you did last week. They did. They did a 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.719 good job with that last week, taking the air of 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.920 the football, limiting the Giants opportunities. But I really think 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.919 that's what your your mindset has to be going in 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.440 this game. But a small is like, okay, we could Joe, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.080 what Junior do? Yeah? Mix it up. You know, you 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.320 can't get started. You know, if you find something that's working, 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.680 obviously stay with it. But I would imagine, you know, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.960 it's gonna be a mixed bag of like, we're gonna 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.520 try everything and see what sticks here with this guy, 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.040 and you're gonna you know, you're gonna hope that your 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.120 secondary gets their hands on some footballs. I mean, you'll 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.200 get some picks. I mean, certainly, I think we expect 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.120 that at some point from this defense, just seeing how 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.520 it funkes into the past and what these two guys 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.480 did together in Dallas. But you know, these guys look 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.320 like group they haven't played a ton of snaps together, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.160 which they haven't, which is kind of this theme around 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.200 the NFL right now with a lot of teams. So 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.800 hopefully it just keeps getting better each week. But this 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.320 is no doubt the hardest spot they'll be in in 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:40.440 the first three weeks. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:41.840 Can I make an addendum? 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.800 One addendum, please go ahead. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:45.240 I think the. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.760 Other thing is Jamen Davis was inactive last week healthy trash. 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.360 I think he plays this week, and because he can 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.200 do so many different things and he can bring some 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.239 pressure off the edge. 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:57.560 Love to see him. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.800 I mean, if I if I, if I have Davis 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.360 and that's the guy I'm going to send to go 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.760 after Joe Burrow, That's the guy I'm going to have 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.640 shadows somebody out of the backfield, all that jazz. They 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:09.960 had to do it last week because they need an 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.320 extra BT in the lineup. 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:12.080 But I think if you have. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.200 Jam and Davis in that on that active roster, he 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.600 might I'm gonna go back to my old school English, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.200 he might could be a difference maker. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.760 So you touched something I want to I want to 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.320 expand on here is you know Joe Burr has been 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.120 sacked six times. Four of those sacks have come on 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.880 third downs. So do you expect chick that they're going 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.079 to probably you know, obviously Joe Junior is going to 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.000 see that because you know that Joe Burrow likes the 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.480 hole onto the ball and make thing. He's supposed to 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.640 play downfield. Do you expect them to bring jam and Davis? 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.560 Do you expect them to bring maybe you know, four 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.040 or five? Maybe you know, six defenders on some occasions 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.040 to get to get the speed up pressure for Burrow. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.559 Well, I think surely third down would probably be the 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.400 normal one for Joe Witt Junior. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.880 Can we call him j w J or something or 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:56.480 just aware. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.120 Yeah, there's too many Joe's in this spot. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.040 So long, so long. Again. I'm a senior, so it 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.440 takes me a while to say these things. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.040 Uh I uh, yes, I mean if if you can 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.920 get him in a third and and know above five yards, 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.640 then yeah, I wouldn't send six, not with. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.559 That defense right now. No, but I would certainly send an. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.520 Extra body and see what you know, early on, early 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.400 on the first few h possessions, to see how they 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.200 handle it. And these are smart guys, they're gonna you know, 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.960 they're they're seeing the pictures in the film directly after 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.800 a series. They'll see what Cincinnati's doing and how they're 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.080 trying to protect and and and and then you figure 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.400 out a way, uh to send maybe an extra another body. 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.680 But right now, i'd love to see Jamie Davis in Atlanta. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.719 Yeah, I absolutely think he's gonna be. I think he 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.920 could possibly be, uh you know backer there for sure. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.040 Enow Scott I'll bring this to you before we hitd 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.320 On too. The next question here is that the the 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.199 Commanders are eleventh and pass Rush Win Win Ray, but 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.560 they're last in our time for last in sacks the season. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.600 So I mean, do you say that they eight are 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.600 able to get to Burrow? Do you think that's going 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.000 to be able to help the secondary as they try 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.880 to you know, contain chase and takings if he plays, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.680 and all these other receiver options that they have out there. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.040 Yeah, I mean if you could speed him up like 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.880 anybody right, like get him out of their rid and that, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.960 that's great. If you can get home more importantly, which 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.920 they obviously you've just pointed out, they have not betting 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.160 able to do, which has been a little bit frustrating 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.080 in these first couple of games. But yeah, look what 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.400 you got to do. As you've seen with Burrow, I mean, 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:27.679 they're not going to beat you running the ball. The 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.520 Bengals do not run the ball well, I mean losing 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.240 Joe Mix and you know we're moving on from Joe 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.520 Mix and everyone to look at that has not proved 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.160 to be really smart in these first few weeks. And 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.200 then obviously we haven't seen that the ft Higgins. So 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.720 maybe he's the you know, the key that opens up everything. 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.520 But but yeah, I would like to think that, you know, 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:43.920 if you can get home on a few of these, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.560 because he will hold it a tick longer to make 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.640 the big places. You pointed out, he's not afraid to 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.840 try to extend. He's ultra confident and you know he's 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.560 he's you know, they was talking about his wrist injury 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.040 or whatever. I don't know, man, it looked like you 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.760 was throwing the ball to fine. I mean last week 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.640 it gainst the Kansas City Save the player too. He 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.679 was he was pretty dang sharp. H you know, they 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.559 had a shot to win that ball game. But anyway, yeah, 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.559 I would I would hope to think that, yeah they can, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.319 they can actually get home this week or at least 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.640 speed him up. And you know, you created some turnovers, man, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.760 That's that's what's gonna take. Steal some possessions here and 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.000 shortening their amount of possessions. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.600 Yeah, for sure. And you know, I do I do 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.600 think you know, you mentioned a good point about about 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.400 Joe Burry being able to hold onto the ball for 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.360 a tick longer, and I think that really is going 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.160 to be able to help them get get this offense 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.080 off the field, because the Bengals offense has been. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.440 Sputtering a little bit. 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.760 Even you know, even though you t Hagens hasn't been 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.240 like is not gonna be the the whole factor into that. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.079 There's a lot of a thing evolved into it. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.360 But at the same time, the Bengals offense is not 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.280 where you would expect it to be over the first 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.000 two weeks. So we're gonna move on to the next question. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.480 But first score up Tate. As Chick predicted, he is 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:48.320 currently losing. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:50.439 Oh my goodness. 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.400 I did like the point you brought up on Javi 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.920 Datis because I do think he's going to be able 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.040 to play a big factors game with his speed, his 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:57.200 quickness off the edge. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:58.240 I think that's something that the. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.959 Commanders were kind of missing, uh last week with him 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.960 being a healthy scratch. So I expect him to be 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.440 to be a pretty big player in this game. Going 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.600 on to the offense side of the ball, the speaking 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.200 of struggles with with the offense, the Commanders have, you know, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.760 they had six scoring opportunities in the red zone and 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.040 they came away with field goals on all of them, 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.240 So it could very could easily have been a blowout 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.120 honestly if they had been able to execute and finish 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.280 on those drives. But for several reasons, false starts, lack 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.320 of lack of production in certain areas, they were only 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.240 able to come away with twenty one points on seven 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.920 seven trips. You know, I guess if you count the 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.080 seventh one outside of the twenty one yard line. But 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.240 you know, Scott will start with you a simple question here, 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.120 what do the commanders do to fix these red zone problems? 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:47.240 Like? 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.599 Is there something simple to it is a little more complicated, 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.320 like is it just getting work more together? 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.520 Like how do they how do they able to finish in. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.240 The red zonees put up touchdown because they're going to 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:56.480 need that against the Bengals. 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.280 Yeah, no doubt. I hope they can get there five 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.800 six times again, it'd be great. Well, well, first and 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.920 foremost you hit it. I mean, just don't beat yourself. 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.480 I mean, last week, how do we know what they 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:05.960 could have done in the red zone with all those 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.720 false starts and you know, pre staff penalties absolutely murder you. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.760 I mean, they had a fourth and a half yard 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.600 and you feel good about the way they're moving the ball, 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.240 The opening drive and send it rocks and they got 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:15.480 to kick the field goal, I mean, and then you 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.560 had the one cause me on the I think it 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.240 was on the first and goal that set them back, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.959 you know, so they just kept moving themselves backwards once 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.320 they would get down there with either penalties or or 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.280 you know, negative plays. You just can't have that kind 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.240 of stuff. So I would say, you know, obviously just 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.959 a cleaner operation. We'd love to see if those plays 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.960 were good or bad. You know, we don't know. MENA 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.600 see Brian Robinson the Wildcat, I'm getting excited and then 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:36.839 the play doesn't go off and I'm like, well, I 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.640 don't know that would have worked tonight. And you saw 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.040 it the week before and it worked some success against Tampa. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.280 But yeah, I thought the week before the red zone 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:44.439 they were good. And I granted a lot of that 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.040 stuff was when they were down, you know, and it 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.880 was late and you know, you ever want to see 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:49.920 Jadie and take those kind of hits, But they were 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.839 effective down there with some of those three option looks. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.400 So I think, you know, in this game, you know, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.680 hopefully again opportunities number one of the red zone smarter 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.480 with you know, you don't urt yourselves. But let's see 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.000 if these plays work. But I like the idea of 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.840 Ertz down there, like the idea of a quarterback option 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.840 down there, whether he keeps it, throws it, or runs it. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.680 And obviously keep the keep hammering the rob An Eckler 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:13.840 because that's been working for him. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.240 Yeah, you know, shake the committeers put at four and 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.840 twenty five yards of offense, which is one of the 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.120 best days they've had in you know, over a year. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.360 But at the same time, they only had I think 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.320 about less than thirty yards on plays inside the twenty 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:32.720 yard line. So what are they able to do to 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.120 get more production out of their offense to stop stalling 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.040 in these scoring positions? You know, obviously b rob is 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.040 important factor there, but Jade and Daniels didn't really hit 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.200 his targets as he as he would like to. So 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.280 what can they do to keep the momentum going outside 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.160 of the twenties and pring it inside the twenties. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.280 First off, Scotty is. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:56.520 The Russian judge scoring this competition because he literally said, 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.880 you know, he liked my point about Jamon Davis and 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.560 I still took the l anyway. So here's the deal 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.280 and my wife brought this up and it's an excellent 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.080 point and she's not a football expert, nor am I. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.960 Really what can they do well? As Scotty said, he's 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.440 got to stop beating yourself. It's it's a it's a 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.040 concentration thing, it's a it's a paying attention thing. And 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.840 to get five false starts is ludicrous. You can't kill 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.960 yourself and flat out the rookie made some bad throws 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.000 down in the red zone, simple as that, he's going 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.960 to do that. He's a rookie, left some passes in 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.440 the dirt, missed opportunities. That's what they did. What can 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.280 they do well? You got to pay attention and be better. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:35.080 Simple as that. 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.680 Pay attention and you have to be more disciplined. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.920 That's what coach Quinn told me on Monday, was disciplined. 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.320 Got to be more disciplined in everything you're doing. When 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.840 you leave that huddle. You have to know exactly what 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.640 you're doing and then not cost your team, simple as that. 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.880 It's really that simple. You can physically. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.760 Execute as much as you want, but if you're crushing 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.480 your squad before you ever snap the ball and you're 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.160 going backwards, well you just you put your foot up 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.000 in a hole that you just and you do it 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.320 more than once. You just can't dig out of the 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.080 fact that you're owing a six in the red zone 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.280 with an offense that's you know, been garnered. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.960 By Cliff Kingsbury. You can't have that. That cannot happen 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.240 and expect to win a football game. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.720 No, you're you're absolutely right. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.960 I mean it's the procedural stuff that's really putting the 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.280 put the team back because there was a lot I mean, 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.440 it wasn't even just in the red zone, right, there 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.120 was a lot of moments they were on the first 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.520 down panels, they were automatically going from first and first 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.320 and ten to first and fifteen or and that it's 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.640 hard to build momentum and sustain drives when you're starting 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:39.960 off behind the sticks like that. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:41.920 Colin did also. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.320 Mention I want you to expand on this, like he 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.720 mentioned a silent counts and things like that. Do you 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.760
