1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: On this edition of The Booth Review. I've had a

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: bunch of long days in New Orleans, but nothing like

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: that one, London.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 2: I know, a big win and a big easy, but

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: it was anything but easy.

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: How about the magic of Jaden Daniels in the state

7
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: where he won the Heisman?

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: And finally the highly anticipated debut I've boshed at Alatimer.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: And you got to give out the belt to somebody

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: this week. Welcome into this week's edition of The Booth Review.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm Brad Weinstein with London Fletcher, Big Fletch. We are

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: brought to you by Microsoft Surface Powering a better game.

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: Oh we're dodging bullets these days, London, bull that was

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: something down.

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: There, man, You ain't kid man. We made that a

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: lot tougher than it should have been, but at the

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: end of the day, game came out of there with

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: a victory. One thing about the mistakes we made in

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: all those things, the corrections that need to be taken,

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: that need to take places. It's better to be celebrating

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: and correct making those corrections in a victory. Then all

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: of a sudden we're here on a Monday discussing a defeat.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: So they'll get those things corrected and get ready for

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: Philadelphia this Sunday.

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you too, I don't remember a season

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: like this in a long time. Like the way the

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game ended, the way the Dallas game ended, obviously,

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: the way the Chicago game ended, the way this game ended.

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: This is one of the strangest up and down You're

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: gonna have a heart attack type season every week that

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: I've ever been a part of.

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: I know. I don't know if you remember what I

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: said on the broadcast. I was like, man, down in

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: New Orleans, my body fat is up and my blood

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: pressures up. I definitely enjoyed some of that good New

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: Orleans food. But then after during the game or as

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 2: we got down, especially in the second half, my blood

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: pressure was up a little bit.

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Well, listen, anybody who's been in the French quarter walking

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: up and down Bourbon Street. There's highs and lows. It

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: could be a very long day, very long day. You

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: never know which direction things are going to go out there.

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: I was, Oh, I was worried at the end there

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: when they had one shot to go forward and win.

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the crazy thing is as we're as they're going,

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: you know, driving trying to get in the score position

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: score their touchdown. In my mind, I'm thinking, I feel

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: like they're going to go for two, because if you

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: look at the Saints, they don't have they didn't have

50
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: anything to lose. Hey, let's you're at home. You got

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: momentum in your favor. Why not try to win it

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: in regulation and not risk going to overtime. So I

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: felt like it was the right call by Rizzy to

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: do what he did, and you know, fortunate for us,

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: we were able to make one more play defensively and

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: get out of there with a victory.

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, listen too, I mean he said this to

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: his post game, like they didn't want to give Jayden

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Datels the ball back. You know, I think this is

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: very similar to when Dan quinn Is to not kick

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: a field goal in Philadelphia when we were down two

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: eight minutes to go, and part of his reasoning was

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: we had to score touchdowns like we were having trouble

64
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: stopping them. Rizzy admitted that after the game. I think

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: his quote was, if I you told me before the

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: game we were going to hold them to twenty points

67
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: and six in the second half, I would have told

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: you we were going to win, and that we didn't

69
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: want to get the ball back to that guy. So

70
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: the respect for Jade Daniels earned here obviously is growing

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: and growing and growing around the league.

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 2: No, no, and without a doubt. And you know, it's

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: a situation again, they have momentum in their favor, so

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: getting that getting that lay score the dawn was rocking.

75
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: They had come back from they were down seventeen points

76
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: at one point at one time in that game, seventeen

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: nothing to five back callback and put themselves in position

78
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: to have a convert that two point conversion and win

79
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: the game. I thought it was the right decision for

80
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: him to make. And you know, fortunately flew us that

81
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: the ig binogay he had tied enough coverage and you

82
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: know we're able to get out of there with that victory.

83
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go through what I'd like to call to

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: start it, because this is a weird game. Statue love

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: and statue don't And I want to start with those

86
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: statue of love because I think there's a lot here

87
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: that there's you know the best part about this is

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: they won. So when they do tell the truth Monday,

89
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of truth telling to be told here

90
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: of a number of things ye, sacks, penalties, all that

91
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: type of stuff that occurred in the game that kept it,

92
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: in my opinion, kept it close because you go look

93
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: at some of these stats I will read you now,

94
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: and you're not going to believe that this was a

95
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: one point game that came down to one play time

96
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: of possession. They have the ball almost forty one minutes,

97
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: they won the turnover margin, didn't turn the ball over,

98
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: had the ball for forty minutes and almost lost like

99
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: that almost never happens at all.

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Not at all, and you and you're scratching your hand

101
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: and they probably steal, like, man, how do you dominate

102
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: the time of possession? Do a do the things that

103
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: you did? Why was that game so close and nearly

104
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: a loss? As you said at the at the at

105
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: the end. But then you delve into it and you

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: see all of the self inflicted wounds, the penalties that

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: there were, killing drives, they were chilling momentum, the missfield goal,

108
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: the offensive penalty, of defensive penalties, all those different things

109
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: that took place, where when you add those things up,

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: especially the penalties, you say, okay, this is the reason

111
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: why the game wash was this.

112
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: Let me give you another one too, And I think

113
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: this was one of my favorite ones. Third downs nine

114
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: of seventeen. You're going to take that all day. This

115
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: was this was now and a lot of this was Jaden,

116
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: And I think there's there's ups and downs with Jayden's

117
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: play is numbers. Again, if you just look at the

118
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: box score at the day, he had, didn't turn the

119
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: ball over, rushed the ball the way he did obviously

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: most of none of it was really very few of

121
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: it was. Most of it was scrambles of the major

122
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: yardage that he got, passing stats, high percentage, completion percentage,

123
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: no turnovers, over two hundred yards passing again, a couple

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: of touchdown passes, and then you'll see the other stuff later,

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: like the misses to Terry, the sacks. You know, like

126
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot here on both sides. But again, if

127
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: you just look at his line, you go, here's the

128
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: Heisman winner striking oppose the Louisiana again.

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: You know, no, without a doubt, I will say this

130
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: the one thing, like you mentioned, the running, it was

131
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: it wasn't necessarily design runs. It was a lot of

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 2: the scrambles, the plays that he made, especially on third

133
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: down to convert some some third downs. From the passing

134
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: game standpoint, we didn't really have the explosive plays. He

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: missed Terry. He overthrew Terry on on one play down

136
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: the middle, and on the other one that Terry nearly

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: caught two or three times, Terry actually slowed down for

138
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: half a second and that kind of threw the time

139
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 2: and off of that. But didn't have the explosive plays

140
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: in the passing game. New Orleans they did. They did

141
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: a They played a ton of cover too, and with

142
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: that they were able to stop the run playing cover

143
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: two as you as we mentioned, a lot of the

144
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: run success that they had was Jaden off schedule plays,

145
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: scrambles and things like that. So those those run yards

146
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: you see, Hey we rush for over with over one

147
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty something yards, But it really wasn't in

148
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: the course of the structured Hey we're gonna design run

149
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: plays either for Jayden or b Rob or McNichols. It

150
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: was more Jaden scrambling. The Saints they did a great

151
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: job taking away the deep stuff, taking away the the

152
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: shot plays, taking away the crossing routes. Kudos to them.

153
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: I didn't think their defense was as good as they played,

154
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: and they dominated the point of attack in the run game.

155
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: So that's something as you're looking at the film and

156
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: you talk about tell the truth Monday when they're in

157
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: their meanings. We had some mental errors on blocking assignments

158
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: in the run game, guys not sustaining blocks and not

159
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: you know, leaving some guys unblocked and also losing their

160
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: one on one battle. So it's a lot that we

161
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: need to correct. But it's good that we're correcting these

162
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 2: things in a victory. But we got to be better,

163
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: especially against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

164
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me get to one of those stats you

165
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: don't love here, which is this was going in one

166
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: of those let's not overthink this thing. The Saints give

167
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: up the most yards per carry in the NFL heading

168
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: into this game. They have a bottom five rush defense.

169
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons I think for that. And

170
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Washington's got a top five rush offense, and they've got

171
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: dynamic playmakers running the ball, great scheme, all this stuff.

172
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: I walked in going, if they can get a lead,

173
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: they're just gonna run the ball down. This team's throat

174
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: will probably you know, end up winning the game. And

175
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to give the Saints a lot of credit

176
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: here because the statt love Jayden's numbers look really good,

177
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: but a lot of it again was off schedule. Really

178
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: just great athletic plays that he.

179
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: Made on his own.

180
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: B Rob and Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols twenty four carries

181
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: seventy one yards b Rob three point one a carry

182
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: that's a surprise off of I mean a surprise off

183
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: of this game. Here's a rush defense that's struggling, here's

184
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: a rush offense that thrives, And really is the identity

185
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: of the team offensively? What do you make of what

186
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: the Saints were able to do yesterday? Well, as I mentioned,

187
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: it was more of us the Saints were. They were

188
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: more physical at the point of attack, They defeated blocks.

189
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: There were times where we didn't work our double team

190
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,479
Speaker 1: to work up to this the second second level getting.

191
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: To the linebacker. There was times where when there were

192
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: mental erason, you know, if we're running our counterplays and

193
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: some of the other things where not identifying who you're

194
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: supposed to block. There were times where we just ran

195
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: past unblocked defenders thinking we're going going up to the

196
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 2: second level when there was a guy on the first

197
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: level that you should have blocked, and we left him

198
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: free and then he's making a tackle either in the

199
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 2: backfield or at the line of scrimmage. Again, it wasn't

200
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: the Saints. The Saints won their one on one matchups.

201
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: They're one on one battles more times than more often

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: than we did, and that was the reason. And they

203
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: didn't have to and they did it brahm with the

204
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: seven man box. It wasn't like they had the safeties.

205
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: We played a lot. They played a lot of cover two,

206
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: a lot of two deep looks, and their front seven

207
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: was able to stop our run game. And that when

208
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: you're able to do that and you don't have to

209
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: rotate a safety to the box, play eight man fronts,

210
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: they called a couple of run blisses and you know,

211
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: timely run business and that that that played the part.

212
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: But for the majority of that game it was a

213
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: it was a seven man box, and their front won

214
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: those matchups and that was the reason why we weren't

215
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: able to run the ball. We I don't know if

216
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: we got caught up in looking at their their rankings

217
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: coming into the game and feeling like, okay, yeah, we

218
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: just came off a game where we ran for two

219
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty seven yards against the Titans, who was

220
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: a really good run defense, and then you know, you

221
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: come into this game against the Saints and like they're

222
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: not that great. You know, we should be able to

223
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: run the ball effectively against them, and did have the

224
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: proper mindset going into the game. I don't know if

225
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: that was the case, but whatever, for whatever reason, it

226
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: has to be better. It has to be a whole

227
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: lot better. I guess a much better Philadelphia Eagles defensive front.

228
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think going in what I saw and you know,

229
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: obviously tell me if you think it's just off. What

230
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I saw at the Saints defense is this very fast,

231
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: active front. Actually, Chase Young's having a very nice year

232
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: for them. He was top five in quarterback pressures. The

233
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: other side, Carl Granderson, Cam Jordan, these are good pros.

234
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: They're very good pass rushing players up the middle. Though

235
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: that they're quick but not necessarily stout. Their linebackers are outstanding.

236
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: To Mario Davis is kind of you light. He's had

237
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: a terrific, terrific career. Pete Warner's very good linebacker, good

238
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: tackler if you can get to the second level, though,

239
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: that's where you don't see the willingness of their secondary

240
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: to make the type of plays to support the run game.

241
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: And that's where I thought over time that Washington would

242
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: kind of break their back if they could get just

243
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: a few runs to get to the secondary. You're going

244
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: to test them whether they want to be physical and

245
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: stop people like Brian Robinson, and it just never got

246
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: tested because they were losing up front. So I'm not

247
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: really sure if this was just a well schemed day

248
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: for New Orleans, but I do think there's some self

249
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: scouting that needs to go in off of the bye week,

250
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: that this was the one team who struggled against the run,

251
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: where maybe as physical in the back end as you

252
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: would expect a team to be good against the run,

253
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: and yet they didn't need them to make those plays

254
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: against the run game.

255
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you actually wasn't a wal scheme day. The scheme

256
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: that they run, it wasn't exotic, It wasn't anything you

257
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: know where you want a bunch of run blitz a

258
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: bunch of run blitzing or stunning or or all kind

259
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: of you know, cross dogs and all that. It was

260
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: literally they won their one on one matchups. They were

261
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: more physical at the point of attack. They defeated blocks.

262
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes guys just flat out miss their blocks, either by

263
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: quick movement and stuff like that. I mean it was

264
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: there were mental errors in the blocking game, not not

265
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: uh getting their right targets in the run game, and

266
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: again also just having some leaving some unblocked defenders where

267
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: you should have. Hey, you gotta you gotta take away

268
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: the next the first color that shows up, and you know,

269
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: two guys. Sometimes there were two guys blocking the blocking

270
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: the same guy. There was also penetration that took place

271
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: that are that knocked off some of the pullers in

272
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: our counter games and our and our power type run plays.

273
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: So it was a combination of a lot of different things.

274
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 2: And it wasn't even about scheme. It was just these guys.

275
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints defensive front, especially the defensive line,

276
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: they won at the point of attack more often than not.

277
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: The other number that obviously is troubling is eight sacks.

278
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: That's a season high. We were talking about this early

279
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: in the game. Jade Daniels admitted this. Dan Quinn said

280
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: it too. This isn't all on the offensive line. Daniels

281
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: was a little more indecisive than he's been. He took

282
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: some of those sacks. They were either however you want

283
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: to call him coverage sacks, or he didn't let it

284
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: rip a few times and he got caught with it.

285
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: And that's why I think the number ended up with

286
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: it once. And I remember early in the game when

287
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: we were doing it, I was talking to you, going,

288
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: he's seen things that he's not expecting here. So I

289
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: don't know, in thinking about it again and reviewing it again,

290
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: what was New Orleans doing to make him indecisive with

291
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: the ball early in the game.

292
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: Again, they were playing a lot of cover too, so

293
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: again it wasn't some exotic schemes on the back end.

294
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: He held the ball at least two or three cages.

295
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: Two or three of those sacks were Jay just hold

296
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: on to the foot ball too long where he had

297
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: opportunity to take a check down to get rid of

298
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: the football. But there also were times where our offensive

299
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: lineman got beat too. They got beat and there was

300
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: immediate pressure in his face, and you know somebody like

301
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: the the one sack in the goal line on the

302
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: third and one where it was a designed bootleg, he

303
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: was gonna boot out and Cam Jordan just makes a

304
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: phenomenal play. So that's the sack right there that goes down.

305
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: There was a couple other times where there was just

306
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: immediate pressure. So I would say maybe two three of

307
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: those two or three of those sacks row Jaden. There

308
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: was also some times where he scrambled and he may

309
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: have got lost the yard trying to trying to scrolls

310
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: to throw the football away, and those go down in

311
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: the sack. So it was it was just they never

312
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: really got into a real flow offensively, and that true

313
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: really helped somebody. Put the penalties put us in thirty

314
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: longer situations obvious pass I see passing downs, and the

315
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: Saints were able to depend their ears back. You mentioned Chase.

316
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: I thought Chase Chase. Chase had a couple of really

317
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: nice rushes against Brandon Coleman, and and he was able

318
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: to get to get to uh, get to Jayden a

319
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: couple of times. And you know a lot of those guys, man,

320
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: they just they played really good football on the on

321
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: the defensive front for the for the New Orleans station.

322
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: And that's that's really the bottom line. It wasn't it

323
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: wasn't all of a sudden these exotic schemes where they're

324
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: showing you one look and then at the snap they're

325
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: they're rotating to these other different coverages, and that forced

326
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: you to hold on to the ball a little bit longer.

327
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: It was not that at all.

328
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing that, like it's worth pointing out

329
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: here is I don't know how much we're talking about

330
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: this had they hit on some of the opportunities that

331
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: they had. Yeah, there were three deep chances to Terry McLaurin.

332
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: One that was down the middle that you referenced that

333
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: was just overthrown by hair. He would have had to

334
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: hit it on the stride. There was a second one

335
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: down the field that probably maybe deserve the call, just

336
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: didn't get it. It was subjective whatever that one was,

337
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: that was the underthrown one that was close coverage, whatever

338
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: the call was made. The one that feels like the

339
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: myth to me was the one you referenced about him

340
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: down the sideline where was a total blown coverage. He

341
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: was wide open. It did slow down a hair on

342
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: that route. However, that's the one I wish Jayden just

343
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: took a touch off of it because he was so

344
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: wide open that that bare minimum even if he has

345
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: to slow down to make the catch. It's a thirty

346
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: forty fifty yard play, but there wasn't anybody within ten

347
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: yards of him. Even if he took a little bit

348
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: off of it to make sure the catch was made,

349
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: it still might have been a touchdown.

350
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah No, and so what in that plan? They went

351
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: to a cover too, and the corner didn't disrupt Terry's

352
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: rod at all, so Terry got a free release. Jada's

353
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: trying to hold the safeties, so he's looking down the

354
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: middle of the field to hold that cover to saye

355
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 2: and the cover to safety he had, he was terrible

356
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: in his landmark, So I'm sure in practice Jade is

357
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: is hitting Terry in stride, so it said, hey, I'm

358
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: gonna hold the safety, then come throw it, and he

359
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: from a timing standpoint, Terry probably is running full speed

360
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 2: the whole time, and as Terry came out, he was

361
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: probably thinking. In practice, it was probably a honey hole

362
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: shot where you're hitting it between the corner and the safety,

363
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: so it's more of a honey hole shot where because

364
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: the safety was so bad, he didn't get He never

365
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: even got in the position to where he was even

366
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: going to be over top of Terry. Jaden sees that,

367
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: and he's throwing in more like a go ball, a

368
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: deep goal ball. So it just was a little Terry initially.

369
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's feeling like in practice this was always

370
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 2: a honey hole shot between the safety between the corner.

371
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: Terry's like, oh, I mean, Jaden sees, hey, this safety

372
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: is not getting over there at all. This is just

373
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: a true go ball. So that was probably why Terry

374
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: slowed down just say here when he you know, when

375
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: he beat the corner, he still show down just at here.

376
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: And that's that's what led to that being any complation.

377
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: We deal with this every week. I can't decide if

378
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: your dog likes this show or dislikes this show. You

379
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: have to tell me.

380
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 2: Do you like the show or not? Come at baby girl.

381
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: I mean, let me put Reese rees come back to debut.

382
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like every time we bring

383
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: up anything with r Terry fan that if you say

384
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: anything it's critical about Terry, the dog gets very angry

385
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: and tries to a buddle.

386
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: She's a Terry fan too. Yeah, Reese is making it.

387
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: She she loves being around me, Like wherever I go,

388
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: she's gonna always be right at me, right at my feet.

389
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: So anyway, like I want to get back to the

390
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: point about the missed opportunities here, Like, either way we'd

391
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: be talking about the penalties. Either way, we'd be talking

392
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: about the sacks. Either way, we'd be talking about some

393
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: of these missed opportunities. But just think about this for

394
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: a second. They missed the field will all be in

395
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: a long one fifty four yards attempt, and we can

396
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: talk about that decision if you want, in a little bit.

397
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: They missed three. Any of the three could have been

398
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns to Terry. They hit any of them right. There

399
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: was the inside the five goal line call where they

400
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: called a design where Jaden Kepp went to the outside

401
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Saints where it fooled ended up kicking a field goal there.

402
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: So let's see by my math, that's if they hit

403
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: one of these deep shots to Terry, and I feel

404
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: like the one miss is the one that we just

405
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: went through. We're talking about a thirty five to forty

406
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: point game. Again, even with all the miscues, that's where

407
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: they are that they could be off. They could not

408
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: have what I think is their best attribute, their run

409
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: game going the way they're accustomed to it going. And

410
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: it was self inflicted wounds and mistakes that kept them

411
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: away from scoring thirty to forty points again, and the

412
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: game's never close.

413
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: No, no, you're you're absolutely right. But just from a

414
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: standpoint of being sharp, especially you want to be sharp

415
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: right now. December football, January football, coming off sometimes with

416
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: the buye, we needed it from a physical standpoint, getting

417
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: guys healthy. We were guys were, as Dad Quinn mentioned,

418
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: guys were running on fume. So you needed that that

419
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: bye week from a recharging your your physical recharging physically,

420
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: recharging mentally and emotionally, but off sometimes too, you can

421
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: all it can also throw off your rhythm. That game

422
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: against Tennessee Man, we were outstanding offensively, just especially in

423
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: a run game. You have that that two weeks off

424
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: and coming to the game and just it just didn't

425
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: look the same from a run game standpoint. And yet

426
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: we're still put ourselves in present potential position too, as

427
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: you mentioned, hit a couple more plays and it's thirty

428
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: point thirty five point game, and we're feeling really good

429
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: about ourselves. But it's a you know, it's it's it's

430
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: great to be able to have this discussion and say,

431
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: and it's after a victory. We got to have more focus,

432
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: got to be better against the Philadelphia Eagles. And I'll

433
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: say this, in some way, it's actually better that we

434
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: had that type of performance, and from a run game standpoint,

435
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: also from a penalty standpoint, because now in practice, guys

436
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 2: going to be ultra focused, uber focused in like, hey,

437
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: we gotta be better. We got to make sure we're

438
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: blocking the right guys, we're sustaining blocks, we're doing all

439
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: the right things. So it's actually a good thing that

440
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 2: we got the victory but didn't play as well as

441
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: we need to play, so practice will be outstanding.

442
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think it's worth pointing out too.

443
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: Tyler be honest, woke up with an illness and was

444
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: all a sudden out. So you're switching out a guy

445
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: who might be a pro bowler this year at the

446
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: center position.

447
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: She'll be a pro bowler. Uh huh.

448
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: Last minute. Yeah, that's a that's a big deal. You

449
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: know that, like last minute, ninety minutes before the game,

450
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: you're starting center who might be a pro bowler this

451
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: year is suddenly just out. That's a big deal.

452
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: Yesterday, yeah, yeah, absolutely, and early in that ball game,

453
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: and you know when you saw a couple of procedure

454
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: penalties or snaps where they was just a little bit off.

455
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: There was a snap that was off that threw off

456
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: the time and on the on the RP a zone

457
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 2: read that was just that you saw that the the

458
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: timing of the offense wasn't as fluid as we had

459
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: grown accustomed to. And and to Deeter's credit to be

460
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: able to be called on and I don't know how

461
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 2: many plays he took actually in practice with the what

462
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: the starting offensive line, because you know, typically he's probably

463
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: working more the scout team stuff. He may get two

464
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: snaps of a series in those periods with the first

465
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: team offense. So he was for him to be able

466
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: to go in there and do what he needed to do,

467
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: you know, hats off to him, But there was just

468
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: the offense was a hair off and timing. The Saints

469
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: also they took advantage of the crowd noise playing in

470
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 2: that in that down the silent counts, they jumped. They

471
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: jumped a snap a couple of times because they felt like, Okay,

472
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: they're not going to be a bunch of hard counts.

473
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't even think we I don't think we did

474
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: any hard counts. And so they were they were jumping.

475
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 2: They were jumping a snap count getting off, and that

476
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: allowed penetration to happen, you know, immediately. There were some

477
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: times where you know, the ball was snapped or the

478
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 2: ball was snapped in the same defensive lineman he was

479
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: already you know, across the line of scrimmage and and

480
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: right it to our tiery office a line. So they

481
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: took advantage of that as well.

482
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean speaking of the crowd noise too. I mean,

483
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: like we're gonna get a new stadium wherever it's going

484
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: to be at some point in time, go listen to

485
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: the acoustics in that place. It's you just want to

486
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: duplicate that brown that's amazing, Like you when you're there one.

487
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's built, but it's big, but

488
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: it feels like everybody's on top of the field. It's loud.

489
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: Their fans are into it. I thought we can talk

490
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: about this later. There were Commanders fans everywhere in the

491
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: French quarter down there. That was really cool to see

492
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: over the weekend how many people were down there wearing bergundiagold.

493
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 1: It was awesome. But like that place acoustically, if you

494
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: can replicate that because that environment feel like you see

495
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: why the Saints home record is what it is through

496
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: the years. It is hard to win in that place.

497
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: It is loud. You feel like these people are on

498
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: top of you. It's a true home field advantage down there.

499
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, you were loving that acoustic because you you

500
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: mentioned that to me probably about ten times.

501
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: I love it.

502
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: You will probably love to go to a concert and

503
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: a doll would.

504
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: I'd love to go to a concert of the Dome,

505
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: but I'd be like, this is what you want though.

506
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: People show up for this. You feel like you're hopew

507
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: You own your home field, and the acoustics matter. It's

508
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: crazy in there, how loud it is, the atmosphere they

509
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: put together. It's really cool, really really cool environment. Right,

510
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: here's another thing.

511
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: I thought it so Brah, you want to go to

512
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: ownership and be like, hey, duplicate this, doll, this is

513
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 2: what we want.

514
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: I got a lot of ideas once we get through Congress,

515
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: the legislation and all of that stuff, and we could

516
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: start talking about where the stadium's going to go and

517
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: actually build the thing wherever it's I don't even care

518
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: where it goes, wherever it ends up. I got a

519
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: lot of ideas. Shoot me a text. I'd love to

520
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: meet with you. I got the acoustics, the materials. I

521
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: want this to feel very Washington like. It's got to

522
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: feel like you're a home. I got a lot of

523
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: ideas that I would love to share with them if

524
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: they're interested.

525
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: All right, I don't know you had an architectural background.

526
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: I do it all, London. Haven't you figured this out

527
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: yet to do it all? Or at least I've told

528
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: myself I do it all. Here's another one I thought

529
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: that stood out from the game that I thought was

530
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: good because I think a big, big question coming in

531
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: the Noah Brown injury is a big deal for this offense.

532
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: He had emerged, as I know, throughout the summer and

533
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: into the season, they were like, it's number two by committee.

534
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: There is no real number two receiver. But it's hard

535
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: to deny that over the course of the season he'd

536
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: become that top seat of Terry mclauurin that he'd become

537
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: the secondary wide receiver target for them. Going into the game,

538
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: there was something like everyone outside of Terry that was

539
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: a wide receiver was I think collectively they had like

540
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: sixty five catches thirty five of those were Noah Brown,

541
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: so there was gonna have to find a way to

542
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: get production from the other group. Here's the target number.

543
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: Alamide's the key is four, Dammy Brown four, Jameison Crowder.

544
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: I thought a couple of really big catches. Three the

545
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: vast majority of them. Obviously, Jaden was twenty five to

546
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: thirty one, very accurate. Yesterday. Three of the misses were

547
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: the three long attempts to Terry McLaurin. So almost everything

548
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: in the intermediate to short zone was completed to a

549
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: variety of different receivers. So I think that was a

550
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: very good sign of that they're going to figure out

551
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: a way to incorporate the other receivers now that Brown

552
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: is out and lightly out for a long period of time.

553
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, one of the things that they did,

554
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 2: and I know they talked about this about moving Terry around.

555
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 2: So you look at Terry's targets, ten targets in that

556
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: ball game, but he was he wasn't primarily lining up

557
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: at on the left side. They moved him around, they

558
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 2: put him in motion, They did a lot lot of

559
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: different things. So really a lot of the targets that

560
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: that Brown was getting there was more opportunities and more

561
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: targets for Terry. This is it was ten targets. I

562
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: don't know if that was a season high in terms

563
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: of targets for terriers Terry, but I know it was

564
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: a lot more than he typically gets in the ball game. So,

565
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: you know, credit to credit the Cliff Kingsbury in the

566
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: offensive staff saying, hey, identified all right, we no longer

567
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: have no Brown. Terry's our guy that we definitely can

568
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: can count on. But let's move him around. Let's put

569
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: him in favorable matchups. And as you as you just

570
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: alluded to, there were opportunities that you know, he hits

571
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: on one of those and Terry's well over one hundred yards,

572
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: He's probably close to one hundred and fifty has there

573
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: he had to touchdowns. We're talking about a three or

574
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: four touchdown game. Yeah, they just connect. Make a couple

575
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: of those connections.

576
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: The other thing too, I want to go make something

577
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: you'd said earlier that I noticed as well, like there

578
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: were some opportunities where you got to hit the first

579
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: guy in the black jersey first, and they let some

580
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: of that stuff go. Noah Brown, you know, obviously was

581
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: had become a primary target for them a secondary primary target.

582
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: He also was very good at drawing penalties down the field.

583
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: That was another attribute that he had. But he also

584
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 1: was a very willing participant blocking down the field. This

585
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: is not to suggest that this group does it, but

586
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: that is also another thing that's going to have to

587
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: be replicated here. The physicality when the ball's just not

588
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: coming your way is going to have to happen. And

589
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a lot here to

590
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: see in that realm for the receivers as well, that

591
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: when they are part of the lack of success running

592
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: the ball the traditional run plays. Was some of that yesterday?

593
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: Now? It was, it was, and it was and it

594
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: wasn't just the wire receiver. It was a collection to everybody, Braham.

595
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: I mean it was office and I'm not not blocking,

596
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: you know, the right people are not sustaining blocks. It

597
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: was tight ends having issues with blocks. And it was

598
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: receivers also, you know, with the blocking downfield or even

599
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: blocking at the point of attack at the perimeter, some

600
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: of the outside some of the outside type runs. So

601
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: it was again a collection of everybody in order to

602
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: have success running the football. Most people just focus on

603
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: the offensive line. Hey, the offensive line not doing the

604
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: job officer line, But it's so many more. Same thing

605
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: like with past blocking. If a guy gets if the

606
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: quarterbacks getting sacked, all the offensive line didn't do the

607
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: job well. Sometimes it might be a running back not

608
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: picking up the blitz. It might be a tight end,

609
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: you know, not losing the battle. It may be somebody

610
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: with an offensive line. It may be, you know, a

611
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: quarterback holding on to the ball. It's a lot of

612
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: different things that going to it. But collectively as a group,

613
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: they definitely missed Norah Brown because of his run prowess,

614
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: but you know it was also tight ends online and

615
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: wide receivers. That was a part of the problem with

616
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: the run game.

617
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: So coming into the game, I was anticipating that, and

618
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: this is from the coaches, that Terry was going to

619
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: move around more, that they were going to target him more.

620
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: That played out. The other thing that we anticipated is

621
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: when you're trying to figure out, okay, where do you

622
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: get this production from outside of Terry, that Diami Brown

623
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: was going to get more opportunities. He did. They handled

624
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: the ball off to him a couple of times, try

625
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: to use his speed on the end of rounds. They

626
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: targeted him four times, which is more than usual. But

627
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: someone's gonna have to step up. So let me ask

628
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: you about him, because we've kind of waited for a

629
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: role to emerge for him for a number of years

630
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: now actually, and here it is in front of him.

631
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: It started yesterday with the Saints. He's got a few

632
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: more games here to really emerge as a primary secondary

633
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: target to Terry McLaurin on this team.

634
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great opportunity for Diami, you know, being

635
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 2: counted on. You mentioned he had to Ford target. There

636
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: will be more opportunities for him down the stretch if

637
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: if he plays well. He's a free agent after this

638
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: this year, and you don't want to focus on strictly

639
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: that piece, but if he's able to have an uptick

640
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: in production, he can he can really put himself in

641
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: a great position to either re sign here or you know,

642
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: hit the market and and put himself in in a

643
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: position to make some money. But he's gotta, he's gotta,

644
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: he's got to continue to evolve and and add more

645
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: to his plate and and and let him there were

646
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: times where I know he was uh, there were probably

647
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: some other opportunities where he was targeted or he would

648
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: have been a primary but for some reason, the Saints

649
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: did a good job of taking those things away, and

650
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: there were there was going to be more targets towards them,

651
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: but the Saints, the Saints defensive backs, they did a

652
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: good job with their coverage and and then also some

653
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: of the pass rush then to allow those places to develop.

654
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: But I'm sure we'll see more of a role for

655
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: for more shots on the field with him, more intermediate stuff,

656
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: more opportunities to get him the ball because of his

657
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: speed and he's he has a really good feel for

658
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: you know, one of those tunnel screens and wide receiver

659
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: screens and all those types of things. So I can

660
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: definitely see him playing a bigger role. And you mentioned

661
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: Jamison Crowder. Yeah, I thought Jamison is really good and

662
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: he didn't play a ton of snaps, but I also

663
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: can see them playing him a lot more because Jamison

664
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 2: has has been a guy who's who's had success as

665
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: a receiver in this league, and he looks he knows

666
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: how to get open the zones, he knows how to

667
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: win routes, especially in that intermediate level, or winning with

668
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 2: his quickness, So I can see him playing a bigger

669
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: role too.

670
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: Moving forward, I want to do one more on the offense.

671
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: We'll get to the defense here, and that's Jaden Daniels.

672
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: Like obviously he took too many sacks. He's the first

673
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: one to admit this. The penalties. I think part of

674
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: it was there was some indecision on his part, so

675
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: some of that was there. There were a couple prominent misses.

676
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure he wishes he had back because any one

677
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: of those three to McLaurin, I don't think this game's close.

678
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: Any of them hit and they score touchdown there, I'm

679
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: not sure the game hadn't been closed. So there are

680
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: these near misses. Right that said, he on that fourth

681
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: and one put his body on the line and leaped

682
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: over to people to keep a drive going. He had

683
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: one in the first half that was got out of

684
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: a sack of Carl Granderson on a third down play,

685
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: got out of a dead to right sack, beat Werner

686
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: to the corner and got to the line to gain

687
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: to extend a drive. On a long third down, he

688
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: had a crazy twenty four yard rush that he was

689
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: able to scramble that he was able to continue a drive.

690
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: He had a long third down. We went through the

691
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: third down stats where he hit a strike to z

692
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: A Kias, he had the one to Crowder that was

693
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: low that Crowder made a terrific catch on. He had

694
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: the touchdown throw to Terry that we've had a year

695
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: of highlights. This one was ridiculous where he extended play,

696
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: dropped the ball, picked it up, throws it into traffic

697
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: dime to McLaurin in between his own teammate and two

698
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: Saints defenders. We can complain all we want if that's

699
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: his bad game, the way do you see his good games?

700
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Because honestly, he had five or six And this goes

701
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: back to what the head coach of the Saints said,

702
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: Darren Rizzy. He's like, there's just some things about this

703
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: guy you can't defend, which is why he said, if

704
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna hold him to twenty, we're happy with that.

705
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: They're like, that's a good outcome. He had again a

706
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: handful of magic moments that separates him from so many

707
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: other players.

708
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, absolutely, and making noble state he didn't

709
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: have a bad game. He held he took a couple

710
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: of saxy you know, could have avoided just by getting

711
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: rid of football. But in term without Jay Daniels, we

712
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: don't win this ball game. No, I'm sorry. Without If

713
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: Jaden doesn't make the plays that he made, especially the

714
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 2: off schedule stuff, we don't win that ball game. And

715
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: that's how that's how good the whole conversation about is

716
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: bo Nick's gonna be in contention with him Rookie of

717
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 2: the Year. That that conversation is over. This is this

718
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: is Jayden's award to you know, he's done, he's done

719
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: enough to win that award. But the plays that he made,

720
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 2: especially off schedule with his legs converting you know, whether

721
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: it was running getting the first downs on a couple

722
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: of occasions, or the play that you describe where he's

723
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: just he's back there looting traffic, looting Saints defenders, drops

724
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: the ball, picks it up and hiss Terry. I mean

725
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: the one the one throw that he made in the

726
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: goldout Aria riz Ont where they go play action and

727
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: he hits Terry on a crosser. I mean, he threw

728
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: a missile in there to Terry. Just absolutely another beautiful throw.

729
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: You know, Jaden was outstanding and he he his performance

730
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: definitely key us to that victory.

731
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I want to, I don't want

732
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: to dismiss brock powers. He's having maybe the best rookie

733
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: season any tight end has ever had. He's gonna have

734
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards receiving. Obviously, he's on a bad team,

735
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: so he's not getting as much publicity because they're not

736
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt. He's having a great year. But

737
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: this comparison to him and bo Nicks, to me, I'm

738
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: like you, that's off the table now. Like he is

739
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: clearly the rookie of the year. It's and it's I

740
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: don't even think it's close. Like they sent out some

741
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: statistics that he's one of three rookie quarterbacks ever to

742
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 1: hit a certain amount of passing yards and a certain

743
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 1: amount of rushing yards every single week. He's got unprecedented numbers.

744
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: He's number three or four in completion percentage. I cited

745
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: this before. If he ends up leading the league in

746
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: completion percentage, he'll be the first rookie quarterback to do

747
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,959
Speaker 1: that since the nineteen thirties. Like, he's doing historic, unprecedented things.

748
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: And then his highlights are off the charts, and yesterday

749
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: was the epitome of it. Everyone's going to see the

750
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: end of this game or how this team nearly lost.

751
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: They're not going to see these crazy plays that he makes.

752
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: And even we were talking earlier about him, like, yes,

753
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: he took a lot of sacks, there was some indecision

754
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: on his part. He never puts the ball in harm's way,

755
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: never like even in those moments, he never does. I

756
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: e again, no turnovers yesterday.

757
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: And no turner was in a situation where in a

758
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: game that he took eight sacks and was under pressure

759
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: on other occasions. But as you mentioned, and I just

760
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,479
Speaker 2: when you mentioned his completion percent I went and looked

761
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: at where he's at right now. He's fourth in the league,

762
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: completing seventy point five percent of his passes to us,

763
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: completing almost seventy four percent of his past he's number one.

764
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: So you know, Jaya has a few more games like

765
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: he had yesterday, from a completion standpoint, he'll put himself

766
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: in in a you know, great position to potentially over

767
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: ten to him. But he has still has a little

768
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: bit of work to do in order to lead the

769
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: league and complete your percentages.

770
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to the defense. Obviously very different halves again.

771
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: First half, Jay Cayner makes his first start. They had

772
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: that guy confused. He slipped and fell a few times

773
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: when he had the pressure. They held him to thirty

774
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: eight yards in the first half, and I think the

775
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: number that really stands out before Alvin Kamara got hurt.

776
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: He made a great couple of catches, the one big

777
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: play they had in the first half with him in

778
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, and of course he had

779
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: the great catch touchdown on the first score for New

780
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: Orleans on the throwback pass from Cedric Wilson the second half,

781
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: but carrying the ball five carries twelve yards, Yeah, you

782
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: can do any better than that against that guy.

783
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 2: No, that was I thought the defense, as you mentioned,

784
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: especially in the first half. Man, they really stammed in

785
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: the States. The Saints offense. They the defensive front put

786
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on on a hangar they played.

787
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: They played hangter so well he ended up getting bent.

788
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: Like all right, man, we're going back to We're going

789
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 2: to go to the rookie and see if he can

790
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 2: he can spark this offense and give us some type

791
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: of life. But I thought the something the penalties really

792
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: hurt the defense in the second half. There were times

793
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 2: where I felt like getting sacked, getting pressure on the

794
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: quarterback off the field and it was a couple questionable

795
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: rough in the pastor penalties that you're just like, man,

796
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 2: was that really a rough in the passive penalty? That's uh.

797
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 2: I'm sure the league, I'm sure Dan Quinn and the team,

798
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: they'll send those plays in and look for an explanation

799
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 2: and they might get a response back from the league

800
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: saying you were correct, this wasn't necessarily a pass a

801
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: rough in the passer, and so there was a There

802
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: was definitely some things that hurt us defensively in the

803
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 2: second half from a penalty standpoint, but I thought definitely

804
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: in the first half, man, they were they were on it.

805
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: So this needs to be mentioned to This has been

806
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: going on for weeks, but they give them a lot

807
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: of points in the second half, you know, pretty regularly.

808
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: It's been happening. It happened again yesterday nineteen points. Saints

809
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: made the change. Remember Washington started the second half with

810
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: a near seven minute drive to make it seventeen to nothing.

811
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: So in the last twenty three minutes of the game,

812
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: the Saints put up nineteen points on them, and some

813
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: of it, I agree, was aided by what I think

814
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: was some very questionable officiating. But that's not the whole

815
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: story here. Things changed when Spencer Rattler came in. It's

816
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: been a theme for this team that in the second half,

817
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: like I looked up like before the game, in point

818
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: differential in the first half, Washington was plus seventy seven

819
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: coming in, so now it's plus ninety one after being

820
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 1: up fourteen to nothing at a half. In the second half,

821
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: preat differential for them overall though, was plus eighty now

822
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: plus eighty one because they won by what point? So

823
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: plus seventy seven first half overall plus eighty one tells

824
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: you what's happening in the second halves of these games.

825
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: They talk a lot about finishing there is when we

826
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: do tell the truth Monday. There's a lot of work

827
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: to be done here because this one should have never

828
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 1: gotten away from them and almost did.

829
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all. And and again I know

830
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 2: Joe wy Jr. He talked about during the during the

831
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: bye week, they really looked at what they were doing

832
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: in the second half of games, trying to figure out

833
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: what's the reasoning behind the you know, the allowing so

834
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: many points in the second half and all and particularly

835
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Is it the calls that they're making,

836
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 2: Is it the technique that they're teaching as it, you know,

837
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: the players and all those types of things. And and

838
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: for for some reason or another, a lot of a

839
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: lot of the same success in the second half of

840
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: that game were penalties. There was we had two rough

841
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 2: in the passers. There was a third down play where

842
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: we're off the field and they get Benjamin Saint Juice

843
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: with the legal hands to the face and that actually

844
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 2: was a correct call. The the second rough in the

845
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: pasture against a Fowler was after a nineteen yard completion.

846
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: Then you tack on another fifteen yards. I mean, that's

847
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: a thirty four yards of a you know, field position

848
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: right there. And those two plays and you know, the

849
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: Saints end up going down And and especially Ratler's credit,

850
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: there was times they he completed a big pass down

851
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: the middle to to mvs. Marquez Valdis Scantling where Jeremy

852
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: Chen it's against the cover too. Jeremy Chen he's in

853
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 2: a position and he's thinking he's going to intercept it,

854
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: and Scantling makes a play in front of him. So

855
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 2: that right there, that thirty nine yard play completion shouldn't

856
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 2: shouldn't happen. That's hey, Jeremy Chen either I can't either

857
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: you catch it or nobody catches it. And you know

858
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 2: so for Joe Wi Jr. He's like, okay, we can't

859
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 2: allow that explosive play to happen.

860
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that Jeremy Chin play. And Kwon

861
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: Martin was there too on the big play down the

862
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: fielder MBS one rattler got hit when he threw it,

863
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: so I give him a lot of credit there. Oh yeah,

864
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: back need that throw scantly made of Valles. Scantly made

865
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: a terrific catch, So I want to give them credit

866
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: where credit is due. This is one of those you

867
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: can't win situations. He's going for the ball to try

868
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: to get it. He doesn't make the interception. Jeremy Chin

869
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: could also lay out Valdas scanting on that play, and

870
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: if he does, you very likely get a defenseless receiver call.

871
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: It's tough to play it seriously and then think about

872
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: the official. I don't think you can't win sometimes.

873
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: Now you're telling me I actually was. I played played

874
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: in the league old enough to where it became so

875
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: difficult for a defender to play defense, especially for safeties.

876
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: Those are the guys that typically are a position to

877
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: to have the big hits on on receivers come across

878
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: the middle linebackers. There are occasions where we where we

879
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: potentially hit her across the receiver, but it's really the safeties.

880
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: The corner, uh you know from time to time, but

881
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot of times the safeties are the ones

882
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 2: in position to where they got a make a decision,

883
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 2: and especially a lot of it's a split second decision.

884
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: You can have all the right attentions, Hey, I'm gonna

885
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: hit the guy in this chest area, God sees you,

886
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 2: he loves his head, and now the target changes and

887
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: you're hitting the guy in the helmet, getting a penalty,

888
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 2: getting fined. All those types of thing. It's extremely difficult

889
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: to play defense. It's even more difficult even to hit

890
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback. You can't fall with your full body weight

891
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 2: on the guys, you can't hit him low, can't hit

892
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 2: him and head of neck area. So it's it's definitely

893
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: from a defensive standpoint, were at a disadvantaging and you

894
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 2: got to worry about all these types of things when

895
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: you're tackling tackling ball carriers on the quarterbacks.

896
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: So one more thing on the defense. So, as you

897
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: probably know, I don't pre plan anything I'm going to

898
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: say on the air, like during the game, Like I

899
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: don't like I don't wait for anything, with the exception

900
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: of if someone's gonna break a record or there's some

901
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: kind of big moment, like I mark it down so

902
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: that I say it on the broadcast so it can

903
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: be marked for it, and then you know, hopefully this

904
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: team makes the playoffs. If they do, all have something

905
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: kind of pre planned thought about if they do qualify

906
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: for the playoffs or you know, win the division or

907
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: something like that, I'll have something pre planned. Very very

908
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: rarely do I think there's a moment where I want

909
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: to pull something out. And I had who Dad in

910
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: the holster waiting for Marshawn Lattimore to do something in

911
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: the game, and the Saints didn't throw the ball at him,

912
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: whether he broke a pass up hopefully in interception, I

913
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: had who dat ready ready for that call, and they

914
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: never threw the ball at him. So you want the

915
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: utmost respect, the team that traded him away didn't even

916
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: test him on any target, not at all.

917
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: And if fans who weren't watching it closer, they were like, man,

918
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 2: did marshaan play? He played? He played the whole game.

919
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 2: But to like you said, nobody, they didn't. They didn't

920
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: test him at all. I watched him closely. He was

921
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 2: he was in right position a lot of players. I'm

922
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: sure he was hoping that they tested him, because what

923
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: better opportunity. Hey, you're making debut, your debut to a

924
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 2: new football team, gets your old former team, and it's

925
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: at the place that you spent the majority of your career,

926
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: probably to being traded, and you don't even get you

927
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 2: don't get one opportunity. So I know he's like, man,

928
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 2: I wish, I wish I could have got at least opportunity,

929
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 2: because you those are moments you dream. I was like, Okay,

930
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna test me. Yeah, I'm gonna get a interception,

931
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: we get it, picked six and do something. And they

932
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: didn't even test him at all.

933
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: You know, and all the people who you know, kind

934
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: of on the outside were going, Okay, he comes in,

935
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: Sandra's still goes back to the slot. That's not how

936
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: it played out yesterday. I'm not surprised by that. And

937
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: Sandra's still again had that interception. Was outstanding. His emergence

938
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: as a clear you know, number two, number one reliable

939
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 1: corner inside outside is a major development for this team

940
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: this year.

941
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 2: It is his his poison is understanding. He was he

942
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: explained how he made that interception. He was going to

943
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 2: get Alva Kamara's like, hey, running backs, they're typically gonna run,

944
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 2: you know, clear our route or like a hitch something quick,

945
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 2: and he's just understanding baiting hang to throwing that football.

946
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: I'll say this. You mentioned when when we got a

947
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 2: lot of more you know, people were wondering, hey, was

948
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: was Sama still gonna go back to the slide. I

949
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 2: think the player ig Monoghany as a slot defender has

950
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: also uh creating a situation where we got a guy

951
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 2: we got Marshaw and we know he can play outside.

952
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: Sarah Still is doing a really good job playing outside,

953
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: and ig Monoghany is really, you know, a guy who

954
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 2: who's done a really good job in the in the

955
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: nickel spot. And and that left Benjamin Saint Jus die

956
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 2: Man out in this situation because you know, those other

957
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 2: those other guys, especially Samarah Still in Igmanoghany, they excelled

958
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: in the roads they're playing now.

959
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, one more thing from the game. Elephant

960
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: in the room. The referees admit they made a mistake.

961
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: At the end of the game. I was screaming at

962
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: that clock stick. You you were not as stopped. Obviously,

963
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: if you see the replay, you'll see the side judge

964
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: made a mistake by running in and this is not

965
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: college football. You don't stop the clock on a first down.

966
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: They didn't have a time out. He was clearly in bounds.

967
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what they were thinking, and then obviously

968
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: the clock operator on that signal stopped the clock. It

969
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: was just a mistake. Through the pool reporting, they've admitted

970
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: that mistake. Dan Quinn doesn't want to get fine because

971
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: he's not gonna say anything about it. A team can't

972
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: say anything about it. I gotta tell you, I think

973
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: the NFL's very lucky that Washington won, otherwise they get

974
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: this wrong. And I couldn't tell you on the top

975
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: of my head. Would they have had enough time to

976
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: run one more play anyway and then it wouldn't have

977
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: mattered if there was one second on the clock, or

978
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 1: should it have hit zero and it should have never happened.

979
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do know that if the

980
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: Saints had won that game, it would have affected the

981
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: entire NFC playoff race, and it would have been a massive,

982
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: massive mistake had they had it gone that way. And

983
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: I think they're lucky that Washington ended up winning and

984
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: it didn't affect it in that way because there's just

985
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: no excuse for what happened at the end of the

986
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: game with the clock.

987
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you were, you were spot on, you were

988
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: all over it.

989
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: All right, it's time to give out the belt. Time

990
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: to do it Big Fletcher's Championship heavyweight belt because we

991
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 1: got to win. The current champion, right is Terry McLaurin.

992
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: Is that right, Jason Terry McLaurin, who is the contender

993
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: this year for the belt?

994
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: All right, man, So it was you know, it was

995
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 2: a situation where a lot of a lot of a

996
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 2: lot of black guys play some good football. This good

997
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: things and uh, the thing is, though, I had to

998
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: look at what what Jada did in that ball game,

999
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: and you know, yeah, you would love to look at

1000
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 2: somebody on the defensive side. And there were some guys

1001
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: on the defense side that did some good things. Savag Steel,

1002
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 2: he had that deception, a couple of sacksbots some guys.

1003
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: But Terry's stats seven receptions, seventy three yards, two touchdowns.

1004
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 2: He as a rating champion. He he did some good

1005
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 2: things to put himself in a position to keep his belt.

1006
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 2: And then I was like, Okay, who else is a

1007
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: real legitimate contender. I said, man, it gotta be. It

1008
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: has to be. Jaden pleaded eighty percent of his passes

1009
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 2: two hundred twenty six yards, but he threw the two touchdowns.

1010
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: But then you look at the rushing yards sixty six

1011
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 2: yards rushing, and he just made so many plays in

1012
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: that game to extend drives, to do it, the play

1013
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 2: that he made to throw the first touchdown in Terry,

1014
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: jumping over over a pile on fourth and one to

1015
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: convert the first down, all the things he did in

1016
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 2: that ball game. And I think you can tell what

1017
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm leading. I'm leading with this. It's a situation where

1018
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 2: I have to announce and now heavyweight champion of the

1019
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 2: Big Fletcher Commander's Championship Belt, Jane and Daniels.

1020
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: Jane Daniels winner. I'm gonna give a secondary belt out

1021
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 1: to you because I didn't know this in real time,

1022
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: but you made the broadcast on Fox yesterday because of

1023
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: the Bobby Wagner stuff from a couple of weeks ago

1024
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: where he got his thirteenth consecutive one hundred tackle season.

1025
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: You're the only one with more fourteenth consecutive. You're getting

1026
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: some run. You got the run. Yesterday they showed our

1027
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: booth on Fox talking about your record.

1028
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was getting we're calling the game. And next thing,

1029
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 2: you know, I'm getting text messages of me and the booth,

1030
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: and I was like, what's going on, and then you know,

1031
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 2: obviously found out what happened, and uh, you know, I

1032
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I told Bobby, you know, I appreciate

1033
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 2: him keeping me relevant and it's good to get a

1034
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 2: little you know, get this face on television.

1035
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: Man, got that run, you got that run. It's nice.

1036
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: I know, it's funny, like whatever, it's so funny, like

1037
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: we're there, we're calling the game, but if anyone else

1038
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: says anything about it, that seems to be more important

1039
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: than us just being there calling the game. People are like,

1040
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: I know, they're profiling London, they're showing your boots that.

1041
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know, we're here every week.

1042
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's fine, man, I'm glad. I'm glad you

1043
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 2: were CJ. You made the broadcast as well. CJ's forehand

1044
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: made it.

1045
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: Sounds very cool. I thought that was really nice of

1046
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: them to do that, Ol Budy, Kenny Albert, Jonathan Wilmachers,

1047
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: great linebackers through the years, profiling you. I thought that

1048
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:45,919
Speaker 1: was really cool. On the Fox broadcast all right, before

1049
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: we go rematch Philadelphia, because they won against Pittsburgh, they've

1050
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: won ten in a row. Now they'd have to lose

1051
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: out for Washington to get the have a shot at

1052
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 1: the division, so that seems unlikely. They have two home

1053
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: games then of the season, Dallas and New York. Obviously,

1054
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: New York's already eliminated and Dallas probably will be by

1055
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: the time we get around the next week because of

1056
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: everyone's record. So the idea that they're going to lose

1057
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: three in a row is probably a little far fetched.

1058
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: But there's a big opportunity for Washington. So think back

1059
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: to the first matchup first go around. What are you

1060
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: thinking about that Washington needs to do a little differently

1061
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: when they face Philadelphia this weekend.

1062
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna have to have a better plan to

1063
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: deal with Jalen Carter. Jalen Carter was He was extremely

1064
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 2: disruptive in that ball game. He really, you know, from

1065
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: a run game standpoint, he just single headedly just was

1066
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 2: destroying everything we were trying to do. So having a

1067
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: better plan to block him, I thought. Defensively, we did

1068
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 2: a lot of good things, especially containing Ta Kwan early

1069
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 2: in that ball game, and then at for three and

1070
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,280
Speaker 2: a half quarters, defense did a lot of really good things,

1071
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: and late in the game he was able to break

1072
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: off a couple of long runs. So understanding that, hey,

1073
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: it's going to be a sixty minute five, got to

1074
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 2: have a better plan to block Jalen Carter. And also,

1075
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 2: you know, the Philadelphia's defensive front again I mentioned, you

1076
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 2: know how the New Orleans Saints defensive front really really

1077
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 2: did some really good things against our offense. So the

1078
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 2: Saint's defensive line is even better. So we're gonna have

1079
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 2: to have a better game plan against against them defensively,

1080
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 2: How we're gonna stop Sakwan, That's that's gonna be, you know,

1081
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 2: the publican tomy wanet. I love the fact that we

1082
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 2: have We're gonna have Marshall Lattimore for this game, so

1083
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 2: you know, is he gonna is he gonna follow a J. Brown?

1084
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 2: That's that's the question, or will we be able to

1085
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 2: just continue to be shore up the run the past

1086
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,959
Speaker 2: defense not have to play so much to shell commit

1087
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more to stopping and run. So I'm

1088
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 2: interested see what what Marshall Latimar's impact on this ball

1089
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 2: game will be.

1090
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: There's a few things too, just to note, like historically,

1091
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: if Washington was one more game this season for dan

1092
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: quinnit will be his tenth in his rookie at first

1093
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: season is Washington's head coach, that would be the most

1094
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: ever by any head coach in their first season coaching

1095
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: this team. He tied George Allen yesterday, who did that

1096
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: in actually fourteen games in the early nineteen seventies when

1097
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: that was fourteen game schedule. But he got number nine,

1098
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 1: so that ties him most ever for rookie head coach.

1099
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: That'd be very cool at least one of the next

1100
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: three for dan Quinn to get that. Terry McLaurin got

1101
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: touchdown catches ten and eleven, the record twelve, you know

1102
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: for receiver all time, so he's got a chance to

1103
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: break that record. He almost had five yesterday, but he's

1104
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: got a chance to break that record. And Jayden Daniels,

1105
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,479
Speaker 1: I think he has some kind of premiere performance where

1106
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: Washington beats Philadelphia, We're going to completely end nationally the

1107
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: conversation about who Rookie of the Year is.

1108
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's a yeah, that's that

1109
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 2: that conversation is. And in my opinion, I mean, yeah,

1110
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 2: you still have three games. You want him to continue

1111
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 2: to play well down to stretch. But just from a

1112
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 2: look at it from a DQ standpoint, and just think

1113
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 2: about how many people, all the the noise made when

1114
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 2: he was hired and like, hey, we should have hired

1115
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 2: this guy. Wanted to get somebody with the offensive background,

1116
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 2: his ability to just turn this thing around so quickly,

1117
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 2: him Adam Peters. But you know the culture and the

1118
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 2: way he's he has these guys believing in each other,

1119
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 2: competing at a high level weekend and week out. The

1120
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 2: brotherhood that they talk about it, you can you can

1121
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 2: feel it. You can feel it. You and I we're

1122
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 2: we're around it. We know how how connected they are

1123
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 2: as a football team, how competitive they are. And you know,

1124
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn, he needs to get some consideration for colch

1125
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 2: of the Year, especially when you look at all the

1126
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 2: turnover for this roster. The team wasn't expected to be

1127
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: in this position at they're in. He definitely needs to

1128
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 2: get some consideration for Coach of the Year.

1129
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: Adam Peters too, Executive of the Year. I mean, think

1130
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: about the turnover and what this roster looks like, and

1131
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: they're this close to making the playoffs and qualifying and

1132
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: being competitive in a division. You know, I think that

1133
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: that's worth discussing as well. There's a lot of accolades

1134
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: that are deserve, but first things first. Let's get to

1135
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: Philadelphia this week, another heavyweight battle for the stage. I'm

1136
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: really excited about it, and we'll review that next week

1137
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: on the Booth Review
