00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Like I love this. I feel like now we're back

15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: the bye week and it's stunk in some ways. It

16
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: was great because we're able to carry that momentum and

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: that win for two weeks. But it's good to get

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: back to the business and get downstairs see all the

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: guys you know, and and get excited about an opportunity

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: against a very good as I get into my preparation

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: for the game on Sunday. A very good, very explosive,

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: very fun Miami team. But I like that. I like

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: that on a on a first Friday, Yeah, I agree,

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: I think it. I mean, I we talked about this

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. I found that I was that

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: with without our game to pay attention to, juxtapose of

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: no Ravens, will you pay attention to your enemies? Right?

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: So no Ravens on Sunday, no Steelers on Sunday, and

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: then the Bengals game was done a quarter and a

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: half into it. So I found that the football was

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: lacking a little bit this weekend. Uh, it's back in

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: full force this weekend with us back in a big

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: game down in Miami. For a preview, let'stead of the podium.

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Here's coach six and three one their last three that

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: they're operating at a high level on all three sides

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: of the ball. They're well coached, No, a bunch of

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: their coaches, they do a great job. And then uh,

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I think they're just they're doing a nice job off

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: Obviously offensively, quarterbacks playing at a very high level. Uh,

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: They're they're dangerous on the perimeter. Uh, they're just they're

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: doing a nice job scoring a bunch of points. Defensively,

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: really impressed with their defense in total. The front is

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: big and stout and long. They can rush the passer,

44
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: they can stop the run. In the back end. They

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: have playmakers with Howard being as good as it gets

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, really really good player. So and then

47
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: special teams are really well coached. Coach Crossman coach and

48
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: the team's does a nice job. So quite the challenge

49
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: going on the road playing a good football team. Uh

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: So we got have a really good work week and

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: that starts really today. So with that, I'll take any questions.

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Is Denzel fully cleared? I don't know that he's fully

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: cleared yet, but again, he's hitting all the benchmarks right now. Okay,

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: and yes, still he's not practicing today. But what is

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: his situation re having working through the injury. Tyreek Hill

56
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: is one of those faster than fast guys. What kind

57
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: of problems does he create obviously, you know throughout your defense. Yeah,

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: I think they're doing a nice job utilizing his speed.

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: He's got world class speed. Uh can make plays down

60
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: the field track and football, can get the ball in

61
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: his hands early and let him. Uh, let him go.

62
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: We've played him a couple of times in Kansas City,

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: so you know that speed, it's real. Um. And then

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: just the way they use them with motion. Uh, it's

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: almost like Canadian football where he's got a full running

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: start at the snap, so he gets into your defensive

67
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: secondary very quickly. Uh. Quarterback does a nice job of

68
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: getting him the ball in areas that he can catch

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: him pluck and go. You try to get bad bad well.

70
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean every team goes into trying to slow him down.

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: It's it's it's difficult. There's there's there's not one thing

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: that you can do to to say, hey, we're gonna

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: stop him by doing this. It's just there. He's good

74
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: and they got other players that can hurt you. So

75
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: you try to give them a couple of different looks.

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: It might be one plan and on this play and

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: one plan on another play, and try and just be

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: sound and what you're doing. But he's a good player.

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: You're just trying to limit the big explosives. Hard is

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: it when you have a guy like Waddle on the

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: other side to you camp put all your attention. Yeah,

82
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I think that's really the that's a big part of that.

83
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: M Waddles a really really good young player in his

84
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: own right, different but fast and dynamic with the ball

85
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: in his hands. So, uh, they complement each other in

86
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: that way. And again it's it's a challenge for our defense,

87
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: like to attack the middle of the field, the middle

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: of the defense. Just what type of pressure is that

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: put on that side of the ball for you? Yeah,

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: I think that they did a really nice job. Quarterback

91
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: works in the middle of field. Their route concepts are

92
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: around the middle of the field. And when you do that,

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: you're not You're not gonna run out of grass. You're

94
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna not use the sideline, you know, sometimes to your

95
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: to your advantage as a defense. Well, when you work

96
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: the middlefield, you work in between the numbers. You can

97
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: catch and turn and get yak. So uh they they

98
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: can do it from a shorter pass attack, they can

99
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: do it from an intermediate and deep pass attack. But uh,

100
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: so much of it comes back to defensively, being true

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: to your rules, being true in your zones and your

102
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: man's um and then ultimately, when in position to make

103
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: a play, you gotta make a play. But they do

104
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: a great job on the perima. There is that how

105
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: they set it up well, I guess when I say perimeter,

106
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying they're receivers. But their receivers can make plays

107
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: all over the field. To to Darryl's point, I mean

108
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: they can throw just go routes and and that type

109
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: of thing. Um, they can also off of some of

110
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: their RPO has got the ball in their receiver's hands.

111
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: Really using all fifty three and the third of the

112
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: field is an immediate impact. Is Bradley Chubb made on

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: their defense? Really good player? Uh, you know, Joe Woods

114
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: knows him well, so speaks very highly of him. We

115
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: obviously did a lot of study on him back to

116
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: his Denver time. Just one game to to watch there

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: in Miami, but uh, very very strong at the point

118
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: of attack, sets the edge well, very good motor. Uh

119
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, only one game. Look at how they may

120
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: use him from last week, so they may move them around.

121
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: You know, we're not exactly sure that they have they

122
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: have multiple edge rushers, but adding him to the next

123
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: season a really good football player. We're talking to Jacobe.

124
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: He mentioned the players realized the magnetitude to that Bengals game,

125
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: which is why everybody played so well. How difficult is

126
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: it to keep that urgency up and not for these

127
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: next nine games. Yeah, I think for us, jeff It,

128
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: it really does go back to a one game season.

129
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: One game. Uh, this one's important, the next one is

130
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna be important, and so on. But uh, for us,

131
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: we totally understand where we are, but we gotta focus

132
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: on on go and want to know down against a

133
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: very very good football team on the road. Take these

134
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: things one week at a time. But the reality is,

135
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: over the last nine games, you've gotta play six of

136
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: these on the road in hospital environments. So I guess, publishes,

137
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: how do you prepare for that and maybe try and

138
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: turn that into somewhat of an advantage for your team. Yeah,

139
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: I think you know the NFL game, You know, you

140
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: gotta go on the road and win and in some

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: tough environments where it's allowed. Um, and that has an

142
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: effect on the offense, particularly on third down. So you

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: gotta be great in your operation. Um. But you know,

144
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: we got one more road game at home game this year.

145
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: You don't you can't control how the schedule shakes out

146
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: those type of things, and uh, you know, you really

147
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: do have to have the mentality that you'll play anybody anywhere, um,

148
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: wherever it shakes up. I know the linebacker room has

149
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: obviously had so many injuries this year. I guess how

150
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: important has a Taki Taki been and putting up some

151
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: of the best numbs of his career and flying around

152
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: the field the way he has. Yeah, he's played really well,

153
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: and I think you've seen an increased number of snaps

154
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: and I think what he's done with those has been impressive.

155
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when you're that base linebacker that comes

156
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: off and nickel, you just don't get the opportunity, you

157
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: don't get the exposure. And I think with added exposure,

158
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: he's done a nice job. Plays very physical, good tackler,

159
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: smart in the right place. Uh So excited for him

160
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 1: to have a continued roll on what we're doing moving forward.

161
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Tunity just the biggest change you think from Yeah, I

162
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: think it's simply that just opportunity. Yes, camp A right. Sorry. Actually,

163
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Jacoby also mentioned playing complimentary football, and you know your

164
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: message to them was, this is what it could look

165
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: like if we continue this. How important is it for

166
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: you guys to keep that communication not just with each

167
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: other on all sides of the ball, but offense, with

168
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: the defense, defense, with special teams and all of that

169
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: together going in. Yeah, I think it's vitally important. I

170
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: think this is the greatest team game there is, and

171
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: you need all three sides of the ball to to

172
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: play these team games. To to get a team win,

173
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: you really have to uh play together, you know. You

174
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: go back to that last game, Our defense played really

175
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: well early and kept the team in it, and I

176
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: think that's really important. And then you know you're gonna

177
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: make a play on special teams, which is gonna flip

178
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: the field and that's that, you know, winning the position

179
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the field position battle. Uh So it

180
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: all plays into it. And I think our team has

181
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: been in situations where we know, if we've fallen short,

182
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: we just needed one more play from this side and

183
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: one more play from this player or whatever it is.

184
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: So we know the margins are so small in this game.

185
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: That's why it is so important to play that compromentary

186
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: football and understand it's going to take all three sides

187
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: of the ball. Who still seems like he really wants

188
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: to try to play in this game? Are you optimistic that? Yeah?

189
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we'll see. He's rehabbing very,

190
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: very hard. He's trying like crazy. Um, I can't peg

191
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: it right now and on Wednesday, but I wouldn't rule

192
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: him out two and after by two previous seasons, you

193
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: think he got this figured out like three? Uh No,

194
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, coming off the bye, is it time to

195
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: get healthy us. So it's important for some guys that

196
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: are battling. Mary Kay mentioned David, there's there's guys that

197
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: are battling to get back. I think that's where the

198
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: bye helps you. I think it helps you. Um, Like

199
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: we've talked about self scout to really understand yourself and

200
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: then to dive into your opponent ahead of time. So

201
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what everyone's record is coming off the bye,

202
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: but you would think that'd be an advantage to most

203
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: teams overall. Yeah, or better. Obviously, Mike McDaniel spent a

204
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: lot of time in the Shanahan system. There are significant

205
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: differences though with what he's running down there versus a

206
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Shanahan skame. I think everybody kind of shares a little

207
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: bit of DNA, and there's a thread woven throughout them

208
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: these offenses in similar ways. And then what's so interesting

209
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: to me is is how different they can seem as well.

210
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: So some teams, like ourselves, we may feature different run

211
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: types more so than others. What they're doing in Miami

212
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: with a lot of the pre snap motion is is unique,

213
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: and uh, they're the way they're throwing the ball and

214
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: the actions of off of which they're throwing the ball

215
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: is unique to them. So I think I do think

216
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: there's similarities, but then the differences are pretty stark. When

217
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: you watch the tape, you know the trade deadlines passed,

218
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: So who you have is what you're gonna go with

219
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: down this trashing my questions leaning wards towards Kareem's particular situation,

220
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: is future for gressity or now is no longer in

221
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: flux um? Does that change anything for you when it

222
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: comes to using him or incorporating him or anything like that.

223
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Now you have that one to combination rest. Yeah, I

224
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: understand uh what you're saying, Daryl, but it really doesn't

225
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: affect me or us in any way. Cream is a

226
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: big part of what we do. He always has been,

227
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: always will be plays hard. There's gonna be opportunities for him.

228
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: So but in relation to the trade deadline anything like

229
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't really affect me. Silting questions, But what do

230
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: you think about left handed quarterbacks. Do they affect your

231
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: game playing? It's something that you would use yours isn't. Yeah,

232
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: you don't discriminate, h So yeah, I mean lefty right,

233
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter. I think there's a little bit

234
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: of the element of the receivers getting used to catching

235
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: that ball. But that comes pretty quickly once you get

236
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: you set because obviously spinning differitely. Um, you can at

237
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: times you run certain plays for right es that you

238
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: know a lot of a lot of quarterbacks are more

239
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: comfortable rolling to the right when you're righty, So some

240
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: things may be mirrored when when you have a lefty,

241
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: but two in particular, there's there's no limitations to what

242
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: he can do. He's uh, he's playing at very high level.

243
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: He's making throws to every area the field, operating their system, UM,

244
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: showing accuracy, making good decisions with the ball. So uh,

245
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: he's doing a nice job. One of those guys. I'm

246
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: similar to the Lamars where you want to keep them

247
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: pinned in the pocket. You know, he's athletic, he can

248
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: make plays with his feet, but I think he's he's

249
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: just he's a very good thrower of football. I mean

250
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: he Uh, the ball comes out of his hand quickly,

251
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: so in terms of keeping him in the pocket, Uh, yeah,

252
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: they will have design movements and those type of things.

253
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: But uh, he does a nice job of processing quickly

254
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: and get the ball out quickly, which we would expect

255
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: to continue. Um doesn't make it any easier because he's

256
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: still playing at a high level. Keeping on the weather,

257
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: And are you worried at all about travel plans or

258
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: anything going out of the week. I think travel plans

259
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: we should be okay, it canna be warm, you know.

260
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: B eighty two sounds like on sun Day it'll be

261
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: warmer um in the sun on our sidelines, So we'll

262
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: have plans for that. But I always tell the guys,

263
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, we we don't control the weather. We deal

264
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: with it, so whatever it is, it is. But I

265
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: do want them to know ahead of time, just to

266
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: have the hydration and do the things that can help

267
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: them leading into Sunday. And I know we've talked about

268
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb's consistency and work ethic and all the great

269
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: things about him ad nauseam, But what does it mean

270
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: overall to have a for a franchise, to have that

271
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: kind of a player that you can point to for

272
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: all your young players to follow. All all the things

273
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: that he brings. Yeah, I think you know, next are

274
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: great example, tom Of. You don't have to be loud,

275
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to be vocal, and I don't have

276
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: to be boisterous, don't have to be given pregame speeches

277
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: in order to lead. He's a great leader by example.

278
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: He will speak up when necessary and and and he

279
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: has done that. But I think it's always good when

280
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: there's an example of how to do it the right way,

281
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: and that's helpful in the run back room. I think

282
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: it's helpful to the offense, helpful to the team. I

283
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: think when you have a guy that's a prose pro

284
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: that does his job, I think everybody sees that the

285
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: fact that he doesn't say much, you know, doesn't change

286
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: his standing to of to me, to his teammates or whatever.

287
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: I just think they see a guy that uh knows

288
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: when it's time to get to work. When he speaks

289
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: up like that, does that kind of give it a

290
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: little extra punch because he's not the type two to

291
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: normally it's it's always yeah. I mean with with Nick,

292
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: anytime he speaks, it's you know, you know, it's coming

293
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: from somewhere that that's important to him. Uh. You know,

294
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: he's part of our leadership group, so he's not he

295
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: shares his his opinions to the group. Um, so he's

296
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: earned that role on our football team. Going back to

297
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: that question about the Shaney and offenses and how everybody

298
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of does different is you're going through a week

299
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: like this or some other team. Are there times when

300
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: you see something and like put a pin in it

301
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know I can use that or

302
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: things you've never thought of? Absolutely? Yeah, And I think

303
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: you get into the season and you're you know, game planning,

304
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: you're watching a lot of tape and and you're always

305
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: looking for inspiration. So sometimes you put on I have

306
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: coaches that grab tape of of certain teams that that

307
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: I always want to see the stuff that they're doing

308
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: weekend and week out so you can steal it. Uh.

309
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: And it's just and sometimes you steal it exactly as

310
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: it is. Sometimes you grab and say, okay, they did

311
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: it this way, it probably fits us to do it

312
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: that way. So there are teams that we share similarities

313
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: with that we watch every single week to help help

314
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: us with ideas. Somebody runs something against you and you're like, hey, wait,

315
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: that's money. Yeah, it happens. And listen, I don't know

316
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: if there's any original ideas anymore. I mean, we're all

317
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: stealing from each other and I'm not afraid to admit

318
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: it either yet. Any sideline bath and that's kind of

319
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: like a really niche like if you were experienced anything

320
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: like that at opposing stadiums where maybe they have an

321
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: advantage that you wouldn't even think about. Or remember when

322
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: we played the Seahawks in the playoffs and when it

323
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: was negative six degrees when I was with the Vikings

324
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: and we were at the Vikings, we were purposefully put

325
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: the sideline where we did. It was on the other

326
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: side of the Gophers, so we were actually on the

327
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: visitors side than the Gophers. But knew that in cold

328
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: weather that would be the shade. So it was negative

329
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: six in the sun. I don't even know what it was.

330
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: It was colder in the shade that day. Um. Now,

331
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks play great, but that that was a that's

332
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: one example of where you know you can do some

333
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: things home field advantage when it comes to weather. Okay,

334
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: thanks you guys. All right, there's coach at the podium.

356
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: election day and I found civility everywhere, totally same. It's

357
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: crazy we're talking about it before the show started like that.

358
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think there you feel like the reality is

359
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: the social media and where there's all this anger and discourse,

360
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: but then in the reality of life, it's fine. Like

361
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: you take a loss, you take a dub, and you

362
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: move on and that's it and everybody's fine. Democracy baby, Yeah, yeah,

363
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: that's good. That's good. Did you did you find your

364
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: were you bouncing around? Were you did you? Were you

365
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: into it at all? The election night last night? I

366
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: just glanced at it like as I went to bed,

367
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: because it's more I'm not necessarily interested in them being

368
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: oh well and just tell what happened, what happened? What

369
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: does it mean? I do like it's not even decided

370
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: anyway in a lot of places, not I do like it.

371
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: Like I think it was like at nine o'clock yesterday,

372
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: I just went to like all of the cable channels

373
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: and it was just fascinating the tone, the difference studying,

374
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, all the way around, and it's you know,

375
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: it's very much like it's far more serious and the

376
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: stakes are much greater, but very much like sports, how

377
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: it's you frame it the way that you want for

378
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: your Yeah, there homers for every him there, right And

379
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: although the crazy thing this happened the last twenty years

380
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: or so, inevitably we were all on the same team

381
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: in this one. And in sports, you know, you do

382
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: kind of stay separate, but that's not the case there.

383
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: But that was, that was That's always one of my

384
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: favorite things to do. Give me ten minutes on each one.

385
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: Did you see how they kind of spin it a

386
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: little bit? We have some robbed roster updates. E's are

387
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: from yesterday afternoon. Wide receiver Surreal Grayson to the practice

388
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: squad and waved her Miller to the active roster. What

389
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: can you tell me about Grayson? Not much? Welcome aboard, brother,

390
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: See if you can get out there. It's always one

391
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: of those things you get you're getting guys to run around.

392
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised for Miller ends up back on

393
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: the practice squad after he was released from the active

394
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: roster for the Browns' is somebody that they like obviously

395
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: in the program. But you know, Cyril Grayson, not anybody

396
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna make an impact on the lineup anytime soon.

397
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't necessarily hold your breath for that. Again,

398
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: this is stuff we have. People come and go from

399
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: the press SPoD who never sometimes end up be in bartenders.

400
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes you never never know, and you never know if

401
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: they are gonna get to play and the games if

402
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: they if they claim they do, or if they do,

403
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: who don't know you. So Grayson, by the way, third

404
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: year out of Louisiana State, Originally signed by Seattles and

405
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Under after free agent in seventeen. He's been with the Seahawks,

406
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: the Colts, the Texans, the Mayors, the Cowboys, the Bucks.

407
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: Of the course of his career, ten games, eleven catches,

408
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: two fifteen yards and two touchdowns. Um did not participate

409
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: in college football, ran track and field at LSU. Was

410
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: a four time champion, seven time All American between the

411
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: indoor and outdoor seasons of thirteen to sixteen. So a

412
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: burner but an older guy, right, I mean, if you

413
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: graduated in sixteen from trying to give it a go

414
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: on the Olympic circuit and now trying to. But he

415
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: kind of came right in because in seventeen he was

416
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: originally with Seattle, so he's been on its interest. One

417
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: of the things he's never really made it, but he's

418
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: been on practice squads of one to three, four, five

419
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: different teams over the course of five years. Speed is tantalizing. Yeah,

420
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: I'm curious, what's up with a guy from Philly? Where's

421
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: that guy at? That guy from Philly? And that wasn't

422
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: a like Metal was and brand right by our defense

423
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: he did in that game, and I don't think he's

424
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: been active or anything. Yeah. Also, the rare Louisiana state

425
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: out of you that was bron Burgundy. That's what it says.

426
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: Grayson is in his third year out of Louisiana State.

427
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: I just I literally read it's rare that you get

428
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: a Louisia. I'm surprised that. Why wouldn't say l s

429
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: u in there. To be honest with you, it does

430
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: feel about that that's a good job. Yeah, I probably

431
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't need to talk to Tom because I've never Louisiana State.

432
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of like when I think the

433
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: only other comparison I can think of in my head

434
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: is penn State. Like nobody ever says says Pennsylvania State. Yeah,

435
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: the fifth year player at Pennsylvania State, Like it's always

436
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: penn State. Like in here it's never Louisiana State. No,

437
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: but Ohio State is isn't necessarily always OSU. It's usually

438
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: Ohio State. The the Yeah, you get the Louisiana tech Ye,

439
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: there's a Louisiana, Louisiana, Louisiana tack. You get what's the

440
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: other one, like Louisiana Lafayette, Monroe or something like that,

441
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: two different places. Louisiana Lafayette now is just branded Louisiana

442
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: the Raging Cajuns. There's Louisiana Monroe, Louisiana, and there's Louisiana

443
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: tech Um and then to Lane and a bunch of others.

444
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: But we go on forever. Yeah. Great, great logo and

445
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: nickname by the way, the Green Wave. Yeah, color schemes great,

446
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: they're ranked they ranked eighteenth in the country. And football.

447
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: If you go to college the aren't you just partying

448
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: in New Orleans? Yeah? I just assumed that if you

449
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: go to I don't know, I'm sure you know people

450

Speaker 1: went to the best time ever, I'm sure it's fantastic.

451
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: I also feel like if you go to two lane,

452
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: like somehow you end up a lawyer in a John

453
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: Grisham book, like those seem linked to me, Like it

454
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: feels like that's the way that's gonna go. Um not

455
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: practicing today as we begin preparations for Miami, m j Emerson,

Speaker 1: with the knee, and Perryan Winfree on the illness. Um, yeah, precautionary,

459
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: you hope on all the illness parts. We talked about

460
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: Chief yesterday a little bit. I'm sure he's gonna give

461
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: it his best to go, but that will be something

462
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: we'll determine later in the week. The one we always

463
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: pay attention to is the Friday injury report, right, That's

464
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: when we start to really hone in on, Like if

465
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: you don't practice Friday, you don't play. Typically, that's correct.

466
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: What you also can get some ideas from, you know,

467
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: during the week is not necessarily like if they practice,

468
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: are they you know, how are they feeling? Are they

469
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: able to be involved in anything, whether it's individual, whether

470
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: it's walk through, are they able to be involved in anything?

471
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: And that can give you a little bit of, you know,

472
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: comfort and vibes on if somebody's gonna be able to

473
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: go or not. And I see nothing from Denzel Ward

474
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: on this now. So he's gonna practice, uh, coach. That

475
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: mean he can't say that he's fully through the protocol,

476
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: but that he is going to practice. And hopefully that

477
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: will be a good thing. That would be a very

478
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: good thing because you're gonna need the corners, all three

479
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: of them. And then, um this week against this Miami team,

480
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: there's some staggering stuff. Um as as when we meet

481
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, staggering stuff they're doing offensively. It's stunning. Nuts.

482
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: Did you could you think of one better from a

483
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: just pure speed one to duo in NFL in our

484
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: in your NFL lifetime? I couldn't. I thought about it

485
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: after the show. I was trying to think if there

486
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: was anybody that I missed, any combination I missed of

487
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: two burners, they both take the top off. Who are

488
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: the guys like back in the day with the with Elway,

489
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: like Johnson, Dance Johnson and Ricky something. Yeah, they weren't.

490
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they were like this though, and somebody

491
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: would be Willie by himself. Yeah, but he was kind

492
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: of like golden Tim Brown. Tim Brown is not a burner.

493
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Tim Brown was like a Marie Cooper. Yeah, he could

494
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: beat you deep, but he was just like the best

495
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: route runner period. Yeah, there were some some of those

496
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: Oilers teams that I'm remembering super yeah, super Tech mobile

497
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: with Drew was it Drew Hill and Hayward Jeffries and like,

498
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they had a couple of guys

499
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: who could fly though. Yeah, I mean this is we do.

500
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: You just don't ever see two guys who and these

501
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: guys are both They're not like they're both just Willie

502
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: Galt run straight lines like these are big time receivers

503
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: who also presume possess the next gear speed wise, you

504
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: just rarely see anything like what this Miami operation has

505
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: um and they're taking the tape is terrifying. Yeah, they're terrifying.

506
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: That's the thing that I don't even understand about watching

507
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: them is that they are guys are so open that

508
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: it's just bonkers. They're open by a mile. The PFF

509
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: guys are calling um tyree Hill and Jalen Waddle in

510
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: in respect to two of they're calling them Bama open.

511
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: It's like he's Obama again. Yes, remember that's always been

512
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: the critique of like the high state quarterbacks. It's hard

513
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: to credits. It's hard to judge them because they're the

514
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: guys are so open. The receiving courts so good. These

515
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: guys are Bama open, which I think makes a lot

516
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: of sense for that in the NFL, though, it's two

517
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: things right, because it's not just how good they are,

518
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: it's how good the scheme and they are married. Yeah.

519
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: Now I got a chance to talk with Amri. We'll

520
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: hear that tomorrow. I love talking with him. He might

521
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: be my He was one of my favorite people to

522
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: talk with just from a football standpoint. And here the

523
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: that he goes about his business and attacks things. But

524
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: he says, like for a player, it is easy to

525
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: execute and take advantage of your strengths when you have

526
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: a good game plan, like if you they if the

527
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: coaches put you in the right position, it's very easy

528
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: when they When you're not, it becomes very difficult. And

529
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: what you have there is a marriage of extreme talent

530
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: and extremely good game planning from Mike McDaniel, and so

531
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: it makes offense very easy to play. Give me, did

532
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: you have something? Uh, we can go through it later

533
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: since I believe Bernard is going to be called momentary,

534
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: very good. All right, so we'll get to give his

535
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: points wide receiver. Okay, I like that. Hey Brown's Fans,

00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: Bernie Cosar. On the hotline, bertie Z and I were

556
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: talking about Wattle and Tyree Hill and their explosiveness. What

557
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: what's the best? It's hard to find one that's as

558
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: explosive as that and as far as as wear, as

559
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: far as our head goes, is there any duo that

560
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: jumps out to you that had that type of high

561
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: end speed and ability that these two have? Wow? You

562
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: know what I was. I was actually listening to the

563
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: last segments, and you guys are doing an awesome job

564
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: as usual. And I love the phrase Alabama open. That's

565
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: uh the way those guys get open. Tyreek Hill and

566
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: Jal and Waddle. Uh, the separation that those guys have

567
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: to And as I'm trying to come up with a

568
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: couple of receivers in my head that um assimilate to

569
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 1: the same awesome duo that those guys are doing, right, now,

570
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: it's really hard for me to come up with one

571
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. And as I was

572
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: thinking about that, to compound the issue, you know, I

573
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: I talked about, you guys talk about so much on

574
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: the show through the course of the year, how much

575
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: respect and admiration I have for coach Stefanski and the

576
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: way he fastorfully uses personnel groups, motions and shifts in

577
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: particular early in the game to really throw the opposing

578
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: defenses off off base to get us into the game.

579
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: And we've talked about how great he does. Scriptle in

580
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: those first fifteen to twenty plays well. Same with unfortunately

581
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: with Mike McDaniel and what he's doing with his motions

582
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: and shifts the personnel groups. He's not switching as much

583
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: the boy each week he's kind of coming up with

584
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: the new motion, a new shift, a new personnel grouping

585
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: and and on top of the play action passed the

586
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: r p O game dise he's implemented with two right now.

587
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: It's it's really put a dynamic to this this offense,

588
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: that this challenge and every defense that plays weekend and

589
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: week out, and it's and it's a tribute to our

590
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: Browns to show you how good our Brown's offense has

591
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: been that we're actually rated offensively a little higher than

592
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: this phenomenal of Miami Dawphins offense. That's right, the Miami Dolphins,

593
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: coming to this is the number five overall offense in

594
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: the NFL, the number ten scoring offense, and Bernie astutely

595
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: pointing out the Browns total offense. We are number four

596
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: in the league in total offense. We are number seven

597
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: in scoring points a game. But this team, to be fair,

598
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: had a few games without to us that would impact

599
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 1: their numbers a little bit. But Bernie, when we were

600
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: talking about these duos and and yes, it's great, and

601
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned right there what Mike McDaniels doing, and you know,

602
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: it's the great game plan and then the ability to

603
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: execute it. They can do that. But Ta is leading

604
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: the league in touchdown percentage orderback Rating QBR third down

605
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: quarterback rating a hundred forty seven on third downs, the

606
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: highest rate we've ever seen since yards per attempt, yards

607
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: per completion, air yards per attempt. And you watch them

608
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: and you go and yet he's clearly operating this offense

609
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: at a high level. It would I would be stunned

610
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: to see what this offense would look like with a

611
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert or a Josh Allen just substituting in for him.

612
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: But what makes him so effective? And how is this

613
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: offense working despite what's obvious on tape, which are the

614
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: physical limitations of his arm. Yeah, and even with and

615
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: I was just doing a interview down in Miami with

616
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: my ex teammate, the great Cleveland Brown Leroy Horde. Down

617
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about arms strength. And when I was playing

618
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: quarterback and Leroy it was the end of my career

619
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: at the beginning of Leewards, and I my arm strength

620
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: was determating at times, and it looked like and ta

621
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: is Um doesn't have the arm strength at the Justin

622
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: abers the Josh Allen's have right now, but he does

623
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: have that awesome ability to throw quickness with timing um

624
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: and inscribe that intermediate task from a six to eighteen

625
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: yards and what he's able to do with um, his

626
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: his his ball mechanics, with his placement of of of

627
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: his eyes where he's able to do the play action

628
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: fakes but yet still keep his eyes down field to

629
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: understand what that RPO reid is gonna be to be

630
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: able to make that determination whether it's be a run

631
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: or past. He's making really exceptional quick speed. And then

632
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: but his ability though even though his arms suddenly maybe lack,

633
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: and he makes up for it with his intelligence and

634
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: his accuracy. And he's hitting guys right on stride um

635
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: to to where the rack run after a catch just

636
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: been phenomenal and and and as and I say this

637
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: almost as admiration and somewhat and seriousness of where the

638
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: leaves going. But even with his arm sens he throws

639
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: the ball and he's hit a couple of post route,

640
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: he's hid a couple of fifth yards throws down the

641
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: field this year to keep defense is arnest. And actually

642
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: he had because he has some of the same medical

643
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: doctors that that I had back in the old days.

644
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: He even did a couple of those when he was

645
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: concussed afterwards. So for him to be able to have

646
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: that resiliency, have that toughness, and then almost like the

647
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: old Jimmy Johnson line, somehow some way to of somehow,

648
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: some way finds a way to make plays. And um,

649
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: I enjoy I'm enjoying watching him play. I hope, I

650
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: hope he has a couple of bumps in the bumps

651
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: in his game this week because he has had a

652
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: tendency in some of these some of these r p

653
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: o s two at times throw the ball, you know,

654
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: throw a couple of plays a game where he misreads it.

655
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: It maybe gives you an opportunity to make have an interception.

656
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: And Denzel Warward hopefully is gonna be back this week.

657
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: To have our third corner would be a nice would

658
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: be a big help for us. That Dolphins are running

659
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: the ball is good. They're they're doing the r p

660
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: os with this. They look to be doing the r

661
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: p os to be able to get the throws. So

662
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: having Denzel back would I think would be a big

663
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: help towards trying to slow down that Dolphin offense. Bernie,

664
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: we oftentimes will ask you to put on your offensive

665
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: hat and just steal your offensive acumen, which is elite.

666
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: I want to flip it. If if you're Joe Woods

667
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: and you're dealing with these two in this scheme and

668
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: a quarterback like two of who process is pretty quick

669
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: and gets it out pretty quick, and we have our

670
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: full complement of of of corners and defensive backs. What's

671
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: what's the antidote to what this Dolphins team is. Well,

672
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: I think the one thing you saw a last week

673
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: is they're gonna make their plays, but don't them don't

674
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: don't break down on your defense and stuff. So like two,

675
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: it gets outside the pocket when he's able to add live,

676
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: he's he's he's really dangerous and stuff. When the rable

677
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: when when we're not in our our our rough gaps

678
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: and stuff, you're not in the linebackers, um take the

679
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: keys on the r p O s and you're not

680
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: getting your deft, you're not getting your drop. So it's

681
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: really imperative. This week, we talked at nauseum early in

682
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: the year about communication issues and communication breakdowns. Mike McDaniels

683
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: will try to come up with some things to challenge

684
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: us in the communication side of it. So obviously you

685
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: want to get pressure on them, but you really want

686
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: to be sound and fundamental and and limit your limit,

687
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: your your mental mistakes, your emmys in a game like this,

688
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: with this, with this type of talented talent that you're

689
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: playing against. All right, Bernie, and how about this knowledge?

690
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: What does this say to you about the quarterback, the

691
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: offensive system and maybe a way to try to stop

692
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: him is that you look at two his passes twelve

693
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: thousand and I'm sorry, one thousand, two hundred and thirty

694
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: of his yards, roughly about two thirds of his passing

695
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: yards come on throws between the numbers, which is one

696
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: of the highest ratings. Yeah, bring it on, Nathan. I

697
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: living in the middle of the field, which is you

698
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: feel like it's a dangerous thing to do. So how

699
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: do we stop that? So so absolutely used to talk

700
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: about this last year when we talk about bad weather,

701
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: windy games in our Cleveland stadium and stuff is pack

702
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: it inside the numbers and you absolutely squat and playoffs

703
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: outside and you don't let them have you don't let

704
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: them have those easy throws in the middle, and you

705
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: force you force those deep comeback throws, those eighteen those

706
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: sixteen yard comebacks, and god bless if you could make

707
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: a make a steady diet of hitting those. And typically

708
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: if you look at film of any team but the

709
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins in particular, um, there's throws from there's an in

710
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: on the disproportionate amount in between the numbers, and all

711
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: most deep throws when the corners off and outside, so

712
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: you know they're probably some of the time not going

713
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: to get it deep through over your head so you're

714
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: able to squat outside and funnel everything inside and don't

715
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: give him those throws. And they're absolutely right on point, Nathan.

716
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, there you go. I wanted to

717
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: touch on something else for you, because you know, we

718
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: had we had the trade deadline last week, um, and

719
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: we had Kareem Hunts stay here. We had Nick Chubbs

720
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: say today how important it was to him that Kareem

721
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: hunt was still a member of this team. I've seen

722
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: some of your comments about it as well. I'm a

723
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: I just think he's one of the pie pipers of

724
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: this team. And I think that this is obviously uphill

725
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: like our record is what the record is, but I

726
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: think he can be an emotional fuel for this team

727
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: down the stretch. What do you like about Kareem and

728
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: his game and how do we take even more advantage

729
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: of his skills here in the second half. Yeah, Bo,

730
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: you're juice me up with all kinds of emotion and

731
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: goose bumps here as you're asking a question. You know,

732
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: not only did we have it the U were we

733
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: talking at this point a couple of weeks ago about

734
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: the importance of winning that Cincinnati game to be three

735
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: and five in the bye week, not two and six,

736
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: to to have hope to have that UM opportunity of

737
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs, albeit it's still a long shot at three

738
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: and five, is still an opportunity to two and six,

739
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: it would not have been so to have that win.

740
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: And then to have Kareem, you know, to touch the

741
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: ball for I think eleven times for UM he had

742
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: seventy one total yards offense. And the emotional uh lift

743
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: that he brings on the field in the locker room,

744
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: I can't discount that. I absolutely love it. And then

745
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: the physical abilities that he brings on the field, it's special.

746
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: And for the second half of the year, that combination

747
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: of Nick Chubb and Kareem hunting UM, Kareem being it,

748
00:39:53,480 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: UM being used in the UM, being used offensively more

749
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: is absolutely I think what coach defense he wants to

750
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: be doing, and his his UM, his leadership and and

751
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: his violence that he runs at the end of the

752
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: tame at the end of the year, the physicalness of

753
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: our team is I think, is what's going to carry

754
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: us in December and stuff. And his physical way he

755
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: runs football, the physical way that he he punished his

756
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: defenses when he's in that second level, that that that's

757
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: only just a weird down their defenses. It emotionally lifts

758
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: up our young football team. I think it's it's phenomenal, Bernie.

759
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: I want to go back to picking your great brain

760
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: again as it relates to offensive football. And I don't

761
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: do you ever watch the Manning cast, Bernie? No? I

762
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: love it. Yes, it's great, right, And so I thought

763
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: it was cool that Kirk Cousins went on there. It

764
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: was right now leading on what are they seven and

765
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: one Minnesota Vikings team? And he had a question for

766
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: Peyton as they went to a break. We're seeing a

767
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: higher utilization of cover zero pressures in the NFL this year,

768
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: and he asked Peyton, He like, well, what's your answer

769
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: to that? What did you want to do when you

770
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: saw cover zero? And we saw last week against the Bengals,

771
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: cover zero gave us a problem. We had a turnover

772
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: as a result of cover zero. We didn't have enough

773
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: people to pick it up. And then I go and

774
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: I look in my preparation. Wouldn't you know Miami cover

775
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: zero they blitz cover all out blits on ten pot

776
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: two of their snaps, second most in the NFL in

777
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: terms of past snaps. They blitz on all plays, third

778
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: most in the NFL. So Bernie, what is the answer,

779
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: because when you put on tape, we struggled with this.

780
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 1: This is something Miami does you know we're gonna see

781
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: it this week. What's the answer. I'm thinking, I'm about

782
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: trying to make this about myself, but I'm thinking if

783
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to um bless me father from about

784
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: the sin I had to retire when they stopped listening

785
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: for cover zero. Um. The old school quarterbacks lived for

786
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 1: cover zero. Used to get that about six to ten

787
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: snaps the game, and I would almost apply to play

788
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: around for the other fifty snaps, waiting for those six

789
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: to ten snaps to be able to take a shot

790
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: and try to score. And one of the I think

791
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: issues and this is probably good for the long term

792
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: health of players, is in the old days used to

793
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: practice against blitz drill day in and day out. You

794
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: would get that zero cover blitz on Wednesday and practice

795
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: Thursday and practice you do it live. You would block

796
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: it live. You would you would um um do every

797
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: simulate game activity just like it was um on Sunday,

798
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: and you would practice that. You don't really get to

799
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: practice that month's live blitz pick up these days, and

800
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: teams aren't doing it as much and then without as

801
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: many of the audibles, and some teams look at it

802
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: as something just to get by as opposed to punishing

803
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: the hell are the teams that do that. And when

804
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: you see a team that has a ten percent zero

805
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: blitz um ratio and actually get a little deeper into it,

806
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: they tend to want to do those those zero blitzes

807
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: as they're crossing the fifty yard line and as they

808
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: are in second and longer situations. Also really got to

809
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: punish them. The Bengals also showed that they have a

810
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: tendency to do zero blitzes, so we would have prepared

811
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: for him before that game. Unfortunately, we did not handle

812
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: it well so that that turned into the turnovers and

813
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: a couple of bad plays within the game. That Dolphins

814
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: are for sure going to be seeing that. They're going

815
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: to definitely test us on it, and this is pro

816
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: Coach Stefanski did that we had the bye week. There's

817
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: no doubt that we practiced against that and there will

818
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: be a plan to take to take advantage of that.

819
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: Because you hit it right on the native, they do

820
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: it too much not for it to show up on

821
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: the statistical breakdowns of it, and then because we stuggled

822
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: against it um in particular in our last game. I'm

823
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: Day Night's football know we'll have a good plan for that.

824
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: Will have to anticipate it, and just like I'm getting

825
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: elevated and emotionally excited thinking about a zero blitz, I

826
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: have a filling Jacobe or our offense and our offensive

827
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: staff will come up with a plan anticipating it and

828
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 1: try to make them really pay for some pay for it.

829
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: What did you like to throw out of it? Did

830
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: you like to just take your best one on one

831
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: matchup and just throw us a go ball to them?

832
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Did you like to have like a little pick play

833
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: on the outside where you could get a quick hitter

834
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: on an inward breaking route or an outward breaking red

835
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: opening on which side the pick you like better? What

836
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: did you like to throw when you knew that was coming?

837
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: And also to protect in the event that if they

838
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: dropped out of it, if they were just showing it

839
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: a simulated pressure and dropped out of it, that you

840
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't be throwing into their droppers. Yeah, great question, So

841
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: I absolutely would say I want to fold outside and

842
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: throw them to the takeoff. But really, when you have

843
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: zero coverage and you have like I love to have

844
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: two backs and or my it end in the game

845
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: to have them blocking because you have the opportunity to

846
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: block up seven or eight guys and pick up the blitz.

847
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: But one of the inherently risky things to do is

848
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: if you have two to three receivers to a side

849
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: and I would want to throw the post to the

850
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: inside receiver, you're throw into a slot receiver where the

851
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: defensive backs flash safety has to cover him all over

852
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: the field. Because typically it's when you get a secondary blitz,

853
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: the safety is coming down to cover number two or

854
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: number three. Well that's sometimes the safety on your your

855
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: second wide receiver and stuff. So that's typically a matchup

856
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: where your receivers faster if it was blitz, if it

857
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: was press coverage, eleven up um and a zero blitz. Look,

858
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 1: Nathan Um, I'm not saying it's to be funny. One

859
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time in my entire career, A

860
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: hundred percent at the time I would check to an

861
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: audible and punish them to try to throw the post

862
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. There's a lot of up.

863
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: I mean literally, I mean literally, I did it too

864
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: much to wear the last couple of years of my career.

865
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: I got I got ze and had to retire. I

866
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: couldn't dot coverence. I had to go get a real job. Bernie,

867
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: we'll get you out of here on this one. I

868
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: saw you retweeted this. I saw the memory from November seven, Uh,

869
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: drawn up in the dirt, the final play your past

870
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: a thirty eight touchdown pass against the broncos Um. What

871
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: what could what do you now that you look back

872
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: on that all these years later? What drawn up in

873
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: the dirt wasn't really What can you tell us about

874
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: that huddle, the play and the immediate aftermath. Wow, it

875
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like twenty nine years ago that did that happened?

876
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: But and it was funny because we had the fact

877
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: that we saved the joke that we had a green

878
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: grass natural grass back then, but it really was. It

879
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: really was mud than dirt that was graight painted green.

880
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: So you had you had the infield, you had mud,

881
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: you had stuff to where you can get in on

882
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: your knee and just like a little boy, you could

883
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: draw plays. You could draw in the dirt and stuff,

884
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: and and I knew I was. I knew I had

885
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: been changed in plays. I knew it. Coach below Check

886
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: sometimes didn't like it. And I knew though that I

887
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: had to be successful with it. And we had never

888
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos back then, they had really aggressive safety's

889
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: um Dennis Smith and Steve Atwater, and they really hit

890
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: the deep, They hit their they hit the receivers a lot,

891
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: almost like our defensive backs need to do the tiree

892
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: kill and Jay lit Wattle this we pressure hit him,

893
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: hit him, get real physical with them. A lot. Safeties

894
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 1: were doing that to us. So I had never run.

895
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: I'd never run a square and take off, not even

896
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: in practice. So basically run down sixteen yards, run a

897
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: square and cut across the field. What was the basic

898
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: play that they've been running since the beginning of football. Well,

899
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: the Smith and Outwater kept pressing up kind so I

900
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: I knew I want him to run a square and

901
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: take off and becausin he had never done it. Didn't

902
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: want him to make I didn't. I wanted to make

903
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: some really understood what I was saying. And I looked

904
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: in his eyes and it had kind of that glass.

905
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: He looked like he didn't understand something like, hell with it.

906
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get in trouble. And then he

907
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: gets down and draw it up and stuff, so to

908
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: have to go and then weren't perfect for a touchdown.

909
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: I was coming off the field and and uh Bill

910
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: was yelling, and I kind of thought he was joking,

911
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: so I kind of blew it off. But obviously by

912
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: getting called into the office the next day and then

913
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: two days later being on a plane to Dallas, that

914
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't joking. It's an unbelievable I actually love it.

915
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: I love talking to go ahead, but I said, I'm

916
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: glad I ended up with a Super Bowl ring and

917
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 1: and and one of the hidden blessings of it was,

918
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: um the team ended up going a couple of years later,

919
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: so not having to really make that to see isn't

920
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: the go to Baltimore and stuff. So the fate of

921
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: it law, it's really it's kind of eerie to see

Speaker 1: don't know if you know, there's not Nathan and I.

945
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: You know, with the bye week, we got away a

946
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: little five star resort, went down to the Caribbean, played

947
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: a lot of golf. I assume that that's the same

948
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: for you guys, right, I mean, you guys didn't do

949
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: anything right, just chilled. Uh that's not exactly what we did,

950
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: but it sounds nice. A little more work for the

951
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: for the folks though out there we could obviously neither

952
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: one of us were that. We were grinding, grinding on,

953
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: trying to make the show perfect and looking at every

954
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: angle at it. And I imagine you guys are doing

955
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: the same when a bye week happens and it's time

956
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. The way this one is, uh,

957
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: is the process the same year in and sit, y're out?

958
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: What gets done during this week for you guys? What's

959
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: job one? Sure? I'll go back. Actually, the which was

960
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: our first sort of bye week with the current you

961
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: know group we have with the coaching staff, and they

962
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: really wanted to dive in and it was also right

963
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, so it lined up well.

964
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: They really wanted to dive into, you know, the first

965
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: eight games or show and ask some very basic questions, Hey,

966
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: what are we doing well? What are we not doing well?

967
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: What adjustments can we make? What are some things we

968
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: can lean on, you know more going in the second half, etcetera.

969
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: And I think that week ended up being really dynamic

970
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: for us, to be honest. We we made, you know,

971
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: a handful of changes. There were a number of things

972
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: that we identified that we were then able to um

973
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, we implement you know, going forward, and it

974
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 1: made a significant difference for us down the stretch. Last year,

975
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, it was a little different. We didn't have

976
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: the bye week until much later in the season. What

977
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: was it week what twelve or thirteen or um, So

978
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: we couldn't really fault we couldn't wait that long, right,

979
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: So this year, as a consequence, we've actually have been

980
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: um sort of doing our that same analysis we would

981
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: normally do it the bye week. We've been doing now

982
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: every week since about week four. I mean, once you

983
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: have a meaningful amount of data, you know, in all

984
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: three phases, you know, you can start looking at those

985
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: things and say, okay, what are some early trends in

986
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: terms of what we're doing well and what we're not UM.

987
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: But we had already started implementing a couple of changes

988
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. So while this week was certainly

989
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: busy just like every other bye week, uh, and also

990
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: given us a chance to dive a little bit deeper

991
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: than we would normally be able to do, uh when

992
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: we have a game coming up that weekend. Um. You know,

993
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: we we got sort of a jump start on it

994
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: this year. UM. So I think there's some there's gonna

995
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: be some good things coming out of this week that

996
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: will help us here in the second half of the year.

997
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: But hopefully we've already seen, you know, a glimpse of

998
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: some of those things in the last couple of weeks. Paul.

999
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's start on the offensive side of the ball,

1000
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: where if you know, I had told you through eight

1001
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: games with jacobea quarterback, we would be the number five total,

1002
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: number four I'm sorry, total offense and number seven scoring

1003
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. Would that have surprised you or

1004
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: and what do you make of the performance of this

1005
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: offense under some difficult circumstances? Yeah? Disappointed? We wouldn't we

1006
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the top three, you know if you

1007
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: at the beginning, Uh No, look, you know, I know

1008
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: Kevin said it all along, uh, and we said it.

1009
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: But we had a ton of confidence in Jacoby and

1010
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: really felt like he was a great fit for our scheme. Um.

1011
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: Also just in terms of his through leadership ability, his

1012
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: play style. We just really felt it fit with what

1013
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: we were going to be trying to do. So I

1014
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: don't know that any of us would have predicted we

1015
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: would have done that well, especially right out of gate,

1016
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: but you know, certainly very happy with it. Um. And

1017
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: while I would I'd hesitate to say surprise, because again,

1018
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: I think internally we had pretty high expectations for what

1019
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: we were what we would be able to do. Um.

1020
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: But uh, I think we feel at least gratified that

1021
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: we're kind of on course. And and when we look

1022
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: at it, you know, as we did these last handful

1023
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: of weeks and certainly the over last week in the bye,

1024
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: there's more we can do. We feel like there's there's

1025
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: more there, uh, that that we can that we can

1026
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: squeeze out of the offense at this point, despite the

1027
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,439
Speaker 1: fact that they've been you know, very productive to date.

1028
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: When you looked at the trade deadline trades that were made,

1029
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: when you looked at some of the trades that were

1030
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: made in the preseason, and I'm talking specifically about Amari

1031
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 1: Cooper and at the wide receiver position. Are you guys

1032
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: kind of stunned that you actually were able to get

1033
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper for the compensation that you did and that

1034
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: somehow it happened and he's come here and he is

1035
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: absolutely thriving, our leading receiver on pace for a six

1036
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: one thousand yards season. Yeah, more has played great, and

1037
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: he's really been the staple, um, you know, certainly on

1038
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: the outside of our passing game, although all the guys

1039
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: have played well. I think Donovan's you know, stepped up

1040
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: and play really well this year also, um, but Amory

1041
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: certainly has been fundamental to our to our success. Um.

1042
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things we talk a lot

1043
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 1: about throughout the year when we were talking about roster

1044
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: building is just optionality, right Whenever there's a good player available,

1045
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, you want to jump on. You feel like, oh,

1046
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: we can't miss this opportunity. And we're always doing our

1047
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: diligence on every single one of these. Even the deals

1048
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 1: that happened two weeks to go at the trading deadline,

1049
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: we were doing the same. But then we always have

1050
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: to remind ourselves that we don't know what else is

1051
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: gonna be available to us around the corner. Right. So,

1052
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: if you had asked us at this time last year, um,

1053
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, do you think there's a chance that Amari

1054
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: Cooper will be a Brown in two? We said, why,

1055
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: that seems highly unlikely. You know, we wouldn't have envisioned

1056
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: him as a as a natural fit. I mean, you're

1057
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 1: naturally What you're doing is you're looking at the draft,

1058
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,479
Speaker 1: you're looking at upcoming free agents, you know, things like that.

1059
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: But you never know, uh, you never know what might

1060
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: come available. So I think we investigate all those opportunities

1061
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: as they come up and and try to try to

1062
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: be opportunistic, um, you know, but and and be in

1063
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: a position to be able to jump on those which

1064
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 1: we were. I mean, it's part of the reason we

1065
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: you are so diligent about having the cap space that

1066
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: we do so we can take advantage of those opportunities

1067
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: when they do arrive. And we were able to do

1068
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: that with the Mark and so far it's really paid off.

1069
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: It really has been incredible, both on the field and off. Paul,

1070
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about go back a couple

1071
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 1: of weeks ago to the trade deadline, and A B

1072
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: mentioned close on a guy, and obviously you're not going

1073
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: to tell us who you were on, or probably even

1074
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: the position or anything for that matter, but if you like,

1075
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 1: if you'd like to curious just for the position my hunches. No, um.

1076
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: But but my question was going to be more along

1077
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 1: the lines of, there were some enormous deals that were

1078
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: made this year at the deadline, and as we sit here,

1079
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: the deadline, as you mentioned, was two weeks ago, and

1080
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: here we are, we're right now at the halfway point

1081
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: of the season. Would would you be an advocate of

1082
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: backing that thing up a bit and getting it a

1083
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: couple of weeks further into the season than when it hits.

1084
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: It feels to us that maybe it hits a little.

1085
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on that? And how active was

1086
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: this year's deadline from your guys advantage point in terms

1087
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: of everybody being on the phones are trying to make

1088
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: get things done. So I'll take the last one first.

1089
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it certainly seems like, uh, the league was

1090
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: more transactional you know, this year than they have in

1091
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: the past, and I think that's ramped up over time.

1092
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, just in my seven years, there have been

1093
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: some years have been very very quiet with little or

1094
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: no activity. Uh certainly no big names, you know, changing teams.

1095
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: But this year that was not the case. Obviously quite

1096
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: a few bigger deals that happened in terms of timing.

1097
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: You know, I have a different, maybe a slightly different

1098
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: perspective on this because of all my years in baseball,

1099
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,919
Speaker 1: and we we moved the deadline around in baseball as well,

1100
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, you want to find that

1101
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: sweet spot where, you know, maybe enough teams have been

1102
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: able to identify if they're in it or not, um,

1103
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: whether or not they're sort of willing to make that

1104
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: extra step to go for it. But at the same

1105
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 1: and you can't have it so early that nobody wants

1106
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: to move anybody. You also can't have it so late

1107
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: that every team that you know is a game under

1108
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: five hundred is just dumping their players, um, you know,

1109
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: and then it totally shifts to all the teams that

1110
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: happened to be a game over five or better, um,

1111
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: and they're just sort of sucking up all the pending

1112
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,919
Speaker 1: free agents or whatever. So that that's not great either. UM.

1113
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what that sweet spot is um.

1114
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: It might be a touch later than what it is

1115
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: right now, but you do have to be a little

1116
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: careful about the sort of unintended consequences of moving around

1117
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: too much. The one other thing in football that's quite different.

1118
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: You know. In baseball, Uh, we had a we had

1119
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: one instance where we traded for a reliever. He was

1120
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: playing for the team that we were facing. He literally

1121
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: walked across the hall and came into our clubhouse and

1122
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: changed uniforms and pitched for us. You know that right away,

1123
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: there was no there's not much more that has to

1124
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: go into it. Hey, they have to pitch, they have

1125
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: to hit um, but you know, there's not there's not

1126
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: a whole lot beyond that. In football, you have to

1127
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: learn a new playbook. Uh. You have to learn what

1128
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: it's like to play alongside all the other guys you're with,

1129
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: whether you're an offensive lineman, whether you're a receiver with

1130
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback, whether you're a dB and having to communicate

1131
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: with the rest of the dbs. Um, it's just different.

1132
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: You know. I was super impressed with what the Vikings

1133
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: were able to do with t. J. Hockenson this weekend

1134
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: to get him up to speed and have him to

1135
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: play as much as he did and play such a

1136
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: significant role. But that's really rare, you know. I mean,

1137
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: oftentimes it takes at least a couple of weeks uh

1138
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: to sort of onboard a new player in the NFL,

1139
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: almost regardless of position. Um. Some will take a little

1140
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: longer than others. Um. So again, if you move the

1141
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: deadline back to eight, you know, some of these guys,

1142
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: UH may barely play for you, you know, in the

1143
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: regular season because it's just not practical to you know,

1144
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: to get him up to speed. Yeah, it's like Jeff

1145
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: Wilson last twek who we'll see this week going and

1146
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: but staying and he knew. Mike mcdonalely knew this offense,

1147
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: so it didn't have to learn much but made an

1148
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,439
Speaker 1: impact hit the ground running, to say the least. Um,

1149
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: let's talk for a second about, you know, defensively, you

1150
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: mentioned some changes have been made. I would imagine some

1151
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: of them were on the defense, where I think we've

1152
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: turned in back to back incredibly good performances, winning performances,

1153
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: and no, unfortunately it wasn't that way since week one.

1154
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: But what were maybe some of the changes or what

1155
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: have you seen from the defense. That has led to

1156
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: some of the big improvements we've seen against the Ravens

1157
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: and the Bengals. Uh, well, you know, the Ravens, it's

1158
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: just such a unique matchup every day. You don't prepare

1159
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: for them the way you prefer for anyone else. That's

1160
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: sort of a standalone, but obviously we get to face

1161
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: them twice a year. I think our staff now has

1162
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: a good fuel for what we try to do against them, um,

1163
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: you know. And I think we've gotten more successful here

1164
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: as they've gained war experience against that offense, which is

1165
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, which is really brilliantly designed. Um. But that

1166
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: was great to see and I think it gave our

1167
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: guys some confidence. Um. And then going into Cincinnati, I

1168
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: think we played our most sound, you know, game of

1169
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: the year, most complete game of the year, um, you know, defensively,

1170
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: which was great to see. You know, so much of

1171
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: it for us on defense, I think it's just um,

1172
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,919
Speaker 1: having everybody on the same page. We know that when

1173
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: all eleven guys do their job, we're really good. You know,

1174
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: we're we're really good, and we just have to have

1175
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: that happen more often, right, We're all all eleven are

1176
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: doing that doing their job. And that's that's easier said

1177
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 1: than done. But you know, early in the season, um,

1178
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, we had some bus that really cost us.

1179
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: Those really went away after the first couple of weeks, UM,

1180
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: And then I think as we've been able to understand

1181
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, the different um, the different concepts that we

1182
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: run more efficiently where we have a better chance of

1183
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: all eleven guys sort of doing their job. Um. You know,

1184
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: I think those of the things you're probably going to

1185
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: see more and more as the year goes on. But defense,

1186
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: more Southern offense is really is really uh uh you know,

1187
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: opponent dependent, right, I mean I already mentioned it with

1188
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens, we we played a very different style when

1189
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: we played the Bengals. UM, probably see something different this coming.

1190
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: We can we play the Dolphins, and that's just the

1191
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: nature of it. I think we have to be multiple

1192
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: on defense and be able to respond to what the

1193
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, what the offense is going to try to

1194
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: do to us. Paul, what if anything can you tell

1195
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: us about the plan on the return on de Shaun

1196
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: obviously is back in the building now and we'll be

1197
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: back to practice next week or three more weeks without

1198
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: him and then the return. Um, and I'm sure some

1199
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: of that stuff you guys want to keep under wraps.

1200
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: But how did you come up with a plan on

1201
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: this return and integrating him back into the roster to

1202
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: have him ready for early December? Yeah, I think the

1203
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: biggest thing was just having um, a lot of different

1204
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: people way in on that, including DeShawn. You know, this

1205
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: is an unusual circumstance to just trying to figure out

1206
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the best path forwards, whether some our strength and conditioning

1207
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: folks are you know, trainers and even from an offensive

1208
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: coordinator perspective, quarterback coach like trying to figure out how

1209
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: do we best uh sort of get him back on

1210
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: board and make sure he's ready. But at the same time,

1211
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, Jacoby is gotta get ready to start and

1212
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Miami and he's gonna get ready to start be Buffalo

1213
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: and you know, etcetera. So, um, you know that has

1214
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: to be our focus as well. Um, So we're just

1215
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: trying to figure out the best way to do that

1216
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: where hopefully get the best of both worlds, where you know,

1217
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Jacoby gets all the reps he needs, but we also

1218
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: begin to know rap the Shaun up once he returns

1219
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: to practice over the course of a couple of weeks

1220
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: to get him in a position where he's ready to play,

1221
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, when the when the time comes, and hopefully

1222
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: we as a team can put ourselves in a position

1223
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: when the time comes that we are able to try

1224
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: to really make a run at this thing here in

1225
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: December and beyond. You mentioned that defensive game plans, they're

1226
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: different for every team. Well, just like in some ways

1227
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,919
Speaker 1: one of one are the Baltimore Ravens, you might say,

1228
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: so are the Miami Dolphins with Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle.

1229
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: We want to see if maybe you can help us

1230
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: out on our quest. Is this the fastest and most

1231
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: electric wide receiver duo of all time? And just a

1232
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: raw speed standpoint of your top two receivers both being

1233
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: able to fly like Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle, Well,

1234
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: they probably have to be in a conversation. You know,

1235
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at it historically at all, but uh,

1236
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, they're certainly dynamic, and they're going to pressure,

1237
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, pressure any defense they're up against um and

1238
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: they make you defend everything. I mean, they're gonna throw

1239
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: screens behind the line of scrimmage. Are also going to

1240
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: throw the ball, you know, thirty yards down the field

1241
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: and everywhere in between. So um, you know they really

1242
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: like to stress the defense. Um, a lot of play action,

1243
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, which they do extremely well, which isn't a

1244
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: surprise with you know, coach McDaniel coming from you know,

1245
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco Shanahan system. But UM, yeah, I know they're

1246
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: they're they're a handful. You know, there's a reason they've

1247
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: put up, you know, as many points as they have. Um,

1248
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: they've got a handful of dynamic players outside of turnovers.

1249
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: For all the people listening, what is the one thing

1250
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: that you will focus on the most on a week

1251
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: to week basis that if the Browns can take control

1252
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: of that, it will allow them to be the team

1253
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 1: that we want them to be this year. In terms

1254
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: of wins and losses, yeah, we have. Honestly, we have

1255
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of proprietary metrics that that I won't share.

1256
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's one in particular that we tend to

1257
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: look at that we really feel like drives performance and

1258
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: really explains wins or losses, um as well as anything else.

1259
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: But I think one way to think about it, UH

1260
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: is big plays and big plays Uh. The way I

1261
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: use the term big plays maybe a little different than

1262
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: what you're used to. So to me, big plays is

1263
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: not something where it's just oh, you gained fifteen yards

1264
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: or more, twenty yards or more. Sometimes people have different

1265
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: definitions for a big play in the run game versus

1266
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: a big play in the past game. Um, sure it is.

1267
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: Some of those things are big plays. But you mentioned turnovers.

1268
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: Turnovers are the biggest of the big plays. Um. You know,

1269
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: there are you know, fifty eight yard field goals to

1270
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: win a game or big plays. Um. Yeah, forty yard

1271
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: punt returns are big plays. Um, Converting a third and

1272
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: seven is a big play. Uh, you know, converting a

1273
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, a fourth and one is a big play.

1274
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: So there, you know, even if you only gain the

1275
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: one yard. So they're all you know, I think big plays,

1276
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: at least in our context, are all sorts of shapes

1277
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: and sizes. Um. And if you can win those big plays,

1278
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: and maybe they're just the highest leverage plays in the game,

1279
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: but that that's probably the best way to think about it. Um,

1280
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're gonna win the game by and large.

1281
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean, there are there are a lot of other

1282
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: plays that happened during the game. And it's not that

1283
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: those don't matter, um, but it's in the the highest

1284
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: leverage moments that if you can win more often than

1285
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: you lose, uh, you know, you're typically going to come

1286
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: out on top. So you, Paulla, we know you're playing

1287
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: playing really good situational football. You know, whether it's in

1288
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: the red zone, whether it's on money downs, which is

1289
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, third and fourth down. You know, those are

1290
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: the things that you know, oftentimes really really drive winning

1291
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: and losing. Paul, thank you so much for your time. Yeah,

1322
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: kind offense covid. You have time to reflect and kind

1323
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: of look back and just reaching the process put it

1324
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: this past week at all, did you have time to

1325
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: think about how well you really have played this for

1326
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: stretching games, um, and some self scout stuff and and

1327
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: stuff with the coaches, but uh, just really been like, honestly,

1328
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: I've just been looking forward to getting back out there

1329
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: and just playing again. I kind of hate by weeks

1330
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: a little bit. So so yeah, and I can imagine

1331
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: because you are playing well, I mean, the team can

1332
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: play better. But when you're playing well, that get out there.

1333
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, And uh, you know, obviously we won a

1334
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: game uh last time we're out there, and it's just like, man,

1335
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:34,560
Speaker 1: just can't wait to go out there and try to

1336
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 1: get another one in and get back to work. So yeah,

1337
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: you were with the Dolphins. Slash counts was a lot better.

1338
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,600
Speaker 1: Where do you see what I mean? I mean, I

1339
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: just still see a really good defense. Uh, you know,

1340
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys are back, uh and with

1341
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 1: more experience in this in this defense, Uh, you know,

1342
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: guys playing at a really high level. Obviously they're winning

1343
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 1: a lot of games and and um, you know they

1344
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 1: still got a lot of I think really playmakers style,

1345
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: game changing players. And uh yeah, I think they're playing

1346
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: really well. Still, they didn't see much in the last game.

1347
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. I mean they paid them. They better

1348
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: pay play him right now, So I would think that

1349
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: he will play a lot this game. What about the significance?

1350
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: Are you going back to Miami not only you know,

1351
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: because of being there last year, but also just from there.

1352
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't care. I just want to go win. Yeah,

1353
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: that's where my focus is. I'm not really into the

1354
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 1: other stuff. There's no game or anything. Uh. They didn't

1355
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: do anything wrong to me, so I mean I'm I'm old,

1356
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 1: too old the whole grudges that they did. But no,

1357
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 1: it's not my style, do you think. I mean obviously

1358
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: being like friends with him and and uh uh no,

1359
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: extremely happy to things that he've done he's done this year,

1360
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think he's doing it. Done a really

1361
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: good job for what they're acting me to do. Um

1362
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, hopefully doesn't do it on Sunday see

1363
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: it from Uh. Well, I don't make expectations for people.

1364
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just playing really good. So yeah, well

1365
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: what I worked so well for you guys, get that

1366
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: big game. I think we are just are. I think

1367
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: we played really good complinary football uh in uh all

1368
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: three phases. Uh. And I think we came out with

1369
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: with the understanding of the magnitude that game. Um. I

1370
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: thought we you know, prepared well well. Uh. And I

1371
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: think I felt like a little different energy going out

1372
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,520
Speaker 1: of the locker room into the stadium, like for the

1373
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 1: uh first snap and uh and it it held truth

1374
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 1: throughout four quarters. And um, I think we played a

1375
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: full sixty minute game. It was our first time I

1376
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 1: think of the year end in the game and taking

1377
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the knee and um, you know that's huge to be

1378
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,520
Speaker 1: able to do that in the NFL. Uh. So yeah,

1379
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: your team, like the Dolphins scores always attacked, comes in

1380
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: the air. Is easy to get caught up in that

1381
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: type of game. Do you want to rather control of

1382
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: the game with you all? I mean, the plan is

1383
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: to do whatever you gotta do to score one more

1384
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: point than they do. Uh. However that however, that comes

1385
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: three to two, whatever it is. Uh, I wouldn't but uh,

1386
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 1: but whatever, you know, just to go out there and

1387
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: win the game. Whatever we need to do on offense

1388
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: too to win a game on our side of the ball.

1389
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're gonna do and it whatever you gotta

1390
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: do on defensive special teams on that side of the ball.

1391
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 1: I think we're doing um play for sixty minutes. That's

1392
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: all that's gonna really come down to. When you guys

1393
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: do yourself from first aid teams, What were some of

1394
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: the things offensively that you said, Hey, we did this

1395
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 1: well and we can do like even more of this

1396
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: in the frontal land games. Well, if I tell you

1397
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: that now and they watch this and then they get

1398
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: to score report, but uh, I think it it showed

1399
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: up how much we've heard ourselves uh and how much

1400
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: we uh have stopped us from scoring uh touchdowns and

1401
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: and converting on third downs and and big plays here

1402
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: and there. Uh. And I think that was the main

1403
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,719
Speaker 1: key takeaway that I think we took. Why is carrying

1404
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: the man from week to week positive moment to weeks

1405
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: so difficult? I mean it's it's the other team gets

1406
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: paid to you know. Uh. I think there's so many

1407
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: good players in this league and good coaches and and

1408
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: uh obviously good schemes to where um it makes your

1409
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: hard you know, Uh, the good teams find a way

1410
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: to do it. But it's definitely hard and UM, so

1411
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: you just gotta find a way to do it in practice,

1412
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, and just carry the momentum and practicing, have

1413
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more juice in practice, UH, have a

1414
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 1: little bit more focused, a little bit more attention to detail,

1415
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: and hopefully that translates the game. People that you know

1416
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: that you ask about n Cho, what do you tell

1417
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: about Uh? I sit there and think, because I'm like,

1418
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 1: there's so many things I can tell you about him. UM,

1419
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: And the thing that it all comes back to is like,

1420
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: it's no surprise, you know the way he works to

1421
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean not only the videos that people see that

1422
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: him lifting all these weights, but you know, every day

1423
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: in practice he's going to the touchdown, no matter how

1424
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: far we're back, He's running to the touchdown and running

1425
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: back for the next play. UH. To where his success

1426
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:13,799
Speaker 1: is no surprise. His his style of running is no surprise.

1427
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 1: The things that he can do is no surprise. Obviously,

1428
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: you can't take it for granted because it's sometimes it's

1429
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: unhuman like. But then when you get around and you're like,

1430
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: dang man, like, this is what NFL players should be.

1431
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: This is what a professional athlete should be. UH. And

1432
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: he does a day in and day out, no matter

1433
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: the circumstances. He's just he's just that guy that you

1434
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: want in your locker room. How much what's Maria meant

1435
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: to you? And how do you much better of a quarterback?

1436
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: Has he made you? I mean a lot? I mean

1437
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 1: his his Uh when you talk about guys that understand

1438
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: football and and hard worker and smart and guys that

1439
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 1: you want in your locker room and you listen to

1440
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,799
Speaker 1: him talk about, hey man, this is what I'm thinking,

1441
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: like in the rom him of the plan. Uh, this

1442
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 1: is what his dB did versus me last time or

1443
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: or this this thing and that. Um, you know he's

1444
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: opened eyes to so many like different things of of

1445
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 1: of trust and and um and things of that nature.

1446
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: That the things that he does, it is incredible and

1447
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: um you know obviously fortunate to have him on the

1448
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: team and you know have him a part of my

1449
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: career and uh so yeah, just looking to make more

1450
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: place last game. Um, if you noticed the change in

1451
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: the meaner now this way you know, Uh no I

1452
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: didn't see him after the game, Uh, emotional or whatever.

1453
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Um so it looks the same to me against the thing.

1454
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: It's like complimentary of three sides of the borrow. What

1455
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: are the conversations like after a game like that to

1456
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: try to work that moment connecting. I think the main

1457
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: thing that coach said was, Yeah, this is what it

1458
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: could look like if we if we do this consistently,

1459
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: you know, And I think players understood that, and I

1460
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: think guys really looked at it as as wow, like

1461
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 1: that is right, Like we did do this right, we

1462
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,839
Speaker 1: did correct this from the week before the week before that. Uh.

1463
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 1: And this is how it all comes together, um, because

1464
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: all of our plans kind of play off each other,

1465
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Like what we do on office is predicated on what

1466
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: the defense things and stuff like that and special teams,

1467
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: so it's so forth so Um, I think God's kind

1468
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: of saw it all come to fruition and uh, you know,

1469
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: hopefully just doing that again we talked about, I think

1470
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: you guys, um and my question so like, how do

1471
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: you do that again? How do you get yourselves in

1472
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: that place where you can do that? I think it's

1473
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: it's finding this spot. Uh. It's always a spot in

1474
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: the game where either the offense or defense and poses

1475
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 1: their will and it's it kind of is the turning

1476
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: point quote unquote of the game. And in the middle

1477
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: of that game, like I said, like I felt like

1478
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: we start to pose our will and started to do

1479
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 1: things that are at our leisure. Um and um, yeah,

1480
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: it's it's the for when you gotta be able to

1481
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: get to that that's point in the game. But um,

1482
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: and it's and maybe it's the first players of the

1483
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: first started, the start of the game. Maybe it's the

1484
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 1: second half. It is it's you never know when it's

1485
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna come. That's the crazy part. It's just like you

1486
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: never know when that play is gonna be the spark.

1487
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 1: You know. We're just talking about the magnitude of that

1488
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: Bengals game. Um, the fact you wanted the way you

1489
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: guys wanted that is there a lot more hope and

1490
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: optimism heading into the second half of the season, Because

1491
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's hope. I think it's just more

1492
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: of like understanding. Um, Like, listen, we've got the whole

1493
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: season ahead of us. We got a big game coming

1494
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: up this Sunday. Let's go try to do the same

1495
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: thing again, you know, and play good football in all

1496
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,560
Speaker 1: three phases of the game. Um. And then at the

1497
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: end of the game, see where we're at. As much

1498
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 1: as Maria's meant this offense in the past game. I mean,

1499
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: Donovan and two just seems to have that tendency to

1500
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: make it's uh, it just it just makes you want

1501
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 1: to give him more, you know, and it's it's ah

1502
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 1: uh I think like like Donovan is just like he's

1503
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: just so quiet. I mean him and to Mario kind

1504
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 1: of like the same, Like they don't talk like um,

1505
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: and you look up and you're like, dang, like Donovan

1506
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: had eighty yards, like he almost had a hundred yards.

1507
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: You know. It's just like and he's making big catch

1508
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: after big catch at the big catch and um, you

1509
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 1: know it dates back to like the first game of

1510
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: the season. Like I just always think of that big

1511
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: third down catch a head like the balls behind him

1512
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: and just catches with his hands, plucks it out of

1513
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the air. He just has done that for us all year,

1514
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously finding ways to to get him

1515
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: more involved and get him more balls. But uh, you know,

1516
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: he's he's I think he's been playing really well. So,

1517
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: like you said, Mario pretty similar doesn't talk about Yeah,

1518
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: it's literally all of them are saying it's crazy. Reivers

1519
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: are pretty victorial, kind of big personnelity. What's that. Uh,

1520
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: it's it's different, for sure, but they find their ways

1521
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: to to give like subtle jazz where I kind of

1522
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: understand our personalities. But to have all three of them

1523
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 1: not talk is kind of bizarre. Really good the second

1524
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 1: half of the season, Oh yeah, for sure. I think, uh,

1525
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 1: for those guys to be able to Hey, look, let's

1526
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: see what I've done in practice, training camp, and I

1527
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: mean they've been going since last year's season. You know,

1528
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: the Bible was probably their first little break. Uh, and

1529
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: see where you know they fit in, where we fit

1530
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 1: them in in the offense, and see the place that

1531
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 1: you know we're asking them to make and um, the

1532
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: get thing. Obviously, David Bills getting more that he has

1533
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: got more of the play of time and has made

1534
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: more of the plays for from those two. Uh, but

1535
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: uh just can't continue ways to to grow and help

1536
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: them help them out. And I think they're becoming more

1537
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: professional to where they understanding their themselves and excited for them.

1538
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: That dude has been everything the doctor ordered on and

1539
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: off the field. Great leader, love hearing him talk, lots

1540
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: of insight on the football team. He's awesome. I love

1541
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: Jacoby Rosette I love seeing him succeed. I hope that

1542
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: he is in this capacity with us for a long

1543
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: time when if we need him, you know, hopefully de

1544
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson is going to come in and be exactly

1545
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: what the Browns expected him to be or what he

1546
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: was the last time we saw him play football. But

1547
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,600
Speaker 1: Jacoby roset as a backup that feels to be a

1548
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: backup of great consequence and one who fits what we

1549
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: do so well. This from um a couple of things

1550
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 1: NFL wise, of of relative big note, Josh Allen day today,

1551
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 1: McDermott playing some games. We'll see if he plays. I

1552
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: saw Rolovsky this morning saying, I think he's gonna sit.

1553
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: They have to take care of him. Remember we played

1554
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 1: them in two weeks after, so theoretically could be case

1555
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 1: Keenum against Minnesota and then a case Keenum revenge tour

1556
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: case KEENU begins to Minnesota, case keen against the Browns.

1557
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: That's true, little revenge your potentially there. Maybe they played

1558
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 1: Denver the week after that Case Keenum. There's a lot

1559
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:55,479
Speaker 1: of them. Uh. Jim ursay to Bob Kravitz of the

1560
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Athletic this is unbelievable. Uh talk He's talking to me

1561
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: Pacific saying, Bo, that's the most absurd thing I've ever

1562
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 1: heard that we're taking or telling Bob Kravitz on Tuesday

1563
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: that's b s except he actually said it. We're in

1564
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: this thing and one to get us in, no question

1565
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: about it. We're not taking this season. Whoever says these

1566
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,799
Speaker 1: things that we're not playing Matt because of an effort,

1567
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: that's all bs. Of course he said it. That's not true.

1568
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 1: We're gonna do what it takes to win. I don't

1569
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: know who people think we are. They don't know us.

1570
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: We don't take in Indianapolis, Bo, Bishop, Oh, yeah, you do.

1571
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 1: You did the other time. I think I think you're

1572
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: doing it right now, and I think you did it then.

1573
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 1: I think it worked. It worked. He one thing he said,

1574
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: and that was true. I know how to build teams,

1575
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: and it's get Lucky and get Peyton Manning and then

1576
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: get yourself in position to get Andrew Luck. And now

1577
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and do it again. Yeah, by the

1578
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: way he pulls it off. One other little news note,

1579
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: yep can't wait for tomorrow from John come, the d

1580
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: C Attorney General, email reporters regarding a press conference tomorrow

1581
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: or Attorney General Carl Raycene will make a major announcement

1582
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 1: related to the Washington Commander that there's no coincidence about

1583
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: any of this Ursay's comments. This, this knew this stuff

1584
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: from last week. All of a sudden, we're selling the

1585
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: team in now indictments. Yeah, this this all adds up.

1586
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: There's no way Snyder was selling that team unless it

1587
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: became impossible to keep it. Browns fans, you can enter

Speaker 1: Reserve your spot today real quick before we meet the

1602
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,679
Speaker 1: Dolphins my theory on Thursday Night football. So the ratings

1603
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: are down in general compared to last year where it

1604
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:28,719
Speaker 1: was split between the network and NFL streaming. Of course,

1605
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: um but I think what you can see when you

1606
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 1: look at the ratings as a direct correlation, like when

1607
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 1: it was on network and it was on NFL network,

1608
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: you would could stumble into it. There are a lot

1609
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: of people who still look at a guide NFL football boom.

1610
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,759
Speaker 1: If these games aren't good, no one's watching. For example,

1611
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: last week was seven point nine million. That's paltry. I

1612
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: don't know. Seven point eight was Cardinal Saints, so that's

1613
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: not a great game. Yet their high moderate high water

1614
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: marks Chiefs and Chargers thirteen Bengals and and Dolphins was

1615
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: eleven point seven, so they're down to network regardless. But

1616
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: it's almost a two million difference. So you've got three

1617
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago it was Cardinals Saints at seven point eight

1618
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: ten million on Baltimore, Tampa Bay seven point nine on

1619
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: Eagles and Texans. If it's bad, no one's you're not

1620
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 1: seeking it out. In the old days, if it was bad.

1621
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: You might stumble in for a little bit because your

1622
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: parsing around, and that's the difference. It's on your channels.

1623
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean even like and I think that going to

1624
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 1: just an app effects obviously a certain demographic that is

1625
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: not as technologically savvy. But for example, you know, Pedro's

1626
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: in town, not Pedro, and he he can work his setup,

1627
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: but like it might like I couldn't get from app

1628
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: to app on your TV, and they're literally all of

1629
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: the right there. But if it's not the interface you're

1630
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: used to, it doesn't matter. You can't you don't know

1631
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: what you're looking at that you know, So it's I

1632
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: think it's hard to find that game for people who

1633
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,799
Speaker 1: are not as technologically savy, and you're not gonna stumble

1634
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: into it unless you're on the Amazon You click on

1635
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: the Amazon priv app or if you have like my

1636
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Sony Smart TV on Thursday nights, the top banner is

1637
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 1: Amazon PROMI, so you can just one click right into

1638
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: it without going into the app. But depending you know,

1639
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: you could have an older one. Some people run it

1640
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: through an Xbox, some people run it through you know,

1641
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: their game console, or they'll run it through the rokus

1642
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 1: and like, it's not might not be that easy to

1643
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to click onto Amazon Prime Video and

1644
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: then get in there. Well said, all right, let's meet

1645
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins Buddy. Six and three on the season, tied

1646
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: for second in the East. Six and three on the season,

1647
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: they have won three in a row. They have scored

1648
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: thirty points in back to back games to a throwing

1649
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: for more than three hundred yards with three touchdowns and

1650
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 1: no interceptions in back to back games. Quarterback ring has

1651
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 1: been over one thirty in back to back games. They

1652
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 1: are six and oh in games started and finished by

1653
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 1: twa Tyree Hill leads the NFL in receiving. In fact,

1654
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: it's the most receiving yards anybody has ever had through

1655
01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 1: the first nine games of the season, one thousand, one

1656
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 1: d and four on pace for an NFL record two

1657
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 1: thousand and eighty five yards. Would be the first person

1658
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: ever to surpass the two thousand mark. Megatron back and

1659
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 1: had sixteen games at nineteen sixty four, so Megatron's per

1660
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: game pace actually that year was higher. That season. It's

1661
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: already got five games of a hundred and forty. He's

1662
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: number one in the league. Oh yeah. Jalen Widdle he's

1663
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: fifth in the NFL with eight hundred and twelve yards

1664
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: six touchdowns of his own among the top thirty receivers

1665
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,000
Speaker 1: in terms of yard and she's at seventeen point three

1666
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 1: yards to carry. That is the most. Uh. He himself

1667
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: eighty plus in four straight games he's got four o

1668
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: weight and three touchdowns the last four. Uh. You look

1669
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 1: at the last four for Tyree Hill, he's got five eighty.

1670
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: So doing a quick math, really quit here. In the

1671
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:44,719
Speaker 1: last four games alone, they have combined for nine hundred

1672
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: and eighty eight yards and four touchdowns, nine eighty eight yards.

1673
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Two people they go out, they trade for Jeff Wilson,

1674
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: and we were a depot was talking earlier about how

1675
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: tough it is to come in. Jeff Wilson and his

1676
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: Miami debut played two more snaps in Raheem most he

1677
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,799
Speaker 1: played twenty to twenty six. He outrushed him nine times

1678
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 1: for fifty one yards five point seven to carry, three

1679
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: catches twenty one yards and a touchdown a ten yard

1680
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: or there. He's going to be a stud. So they

1681
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 1: can run it, they can throw it. Gasicky who is

1682
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 1: down this year twenty two catches, two thirty eight yards

1683
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. This is the guy who they signed

1684
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 1: the franchise tex who's coming off of back to back

1685
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 1: seasons of over seven hundred yards in twenty and twenty one.

1686
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: So that's who they are on offense to us, as

1687
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: we've said, leads the NFL in touchdown percentage, quarterback rating

1688
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 1: QBR yards per tempt, yards per completion, air yards per tempt,

1689
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: third down quarterback rating. He is on the season pass

1690
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: or yards fifteen touchdowns, only three picks the last two

1691
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 1: weeks three d plus three plus touchdowns HDT five plus rating,

1692
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: no interceptions. He hasn't been sacked in two of the

1693
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,640
Speaker 1: last three games. Now. One little interesting bit in his

1694
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: he's got twelve of his touchdowns have come in three games,

1695
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 1: six against Baltimore three the last two weeks. Three touchdowns

1696
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: in the other four games now really three and a

1697
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: quarter game because he got knocked out against Cincinnati, so

1698
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: we have to hope for that. Their line, they went

1699
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: out and they got Tron Armstead, who is the number

1700
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty tackle at Pro Football Focus, at three time Pro Bowler.

1701
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: They brought in Connor Williams, who was the number four

1702
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: center at Pro Football Focus, who was former second round

1703
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: pick of Dallas um and so they're line some new

1704
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: starters there, and then defensively, you know, Christian Wilkins, the

1705
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: former first round out of Clemson, is a beast up front.

1706
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: In the middle, They've got Emmanuel Odd, but they got

1707
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: Jalen and Philipsho had eight and a half sacks last year.

1708
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 1: They just traded for Bradley Chub. Melvin Ingram was the
