WEBVTT - The Group Chat Episode 17: Spooky Week 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.400 Hey guys. On this week of the Group Chat, we 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:05.560 got scared, we got spooked. It was a very scary 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.039 way to come into Halloween Week. But we've got to 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.320 recap it. So we're talking and some of the words 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.000 used in the Panther's locker room after that game Ultimate meltdown, 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.599 played our worst and that's what you get. But this 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.400 is the NFL and you move on. So we are 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.720 dressing up the Panthers and whatever costume we think it 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.840 takes to get a win this week against the Titans. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.240 But when they get the ball, Curtis and DJ need 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.400 to go into that phone booth in London that we 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:34.879 went in and they need to come out with their 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.760 Superman on and then stick around because we are going 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.680 to give you our best Halloween hot takes. We've got 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.240 that in so much more. On this week's the Group Chat. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.960 You've been added to the group Chat with your friends Caroline, can, 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:12.480 Max Sensen and Will Brian. Spooky week. What's up everyone? 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.600 It's Halloween week? How do we feel about this week? 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.640 Like it's like a holiday, but it's not. It's not 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.240 a holiday. Are you coming in dressed up? Wait? First, all, 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.759 that's a like piping hot Halloween hot take right off 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.920 at that point. We're not to that point. We are 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.960 doing Halloween hot takes later, but I started being hot. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.720 Not a holiday I started early. It's not a holiday 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.680 that like you're going to get off of school, like Thanksgiving. 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:44.280 I think like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day. Like I 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.680 would even go to say that Valentine's Day is not holiday. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.160 This is you know, like and it goes along those 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.720 same lines. But if you disagree, just hang on because 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.200 I've got more coming later on. Yeah, and I'm just 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.800 I'm rattled. Yeah, this is gonna be hard to get 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.400 through all the rest of this. A lot of people's 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.880 favorite holiday. Yeah, people get really into Valentine's There's so 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.520 many parties. Yeah, most people agree Valentine's Day. It's kind 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.160 of like a Hallmark holiday. It's kind of like, this 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:16.520 is kind of ridiculous. But Halloween, Barcrols. I'm all for 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.720 celebrating Halloween. I think it is. It is fun when 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.239 when you commit to it. Really getting ahead here, but 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.280 when you commit to Halloween, it can be a very 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.640 fun holiday. But it is not something that I believe 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:35.360 is a real holiday. Alright, more to come on now 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.400 more to come on that. But what we're really talking 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.880 about is the welcome to the Halloween week that the 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.399 Carolina Panthers just got this year. How fitting the fact 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.880 that they went out to San Francisco really Santa Clara, 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:54.519 It's not really San Francisco, but we went there. Um 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.519 and we came back and I'm dressing it all black 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:04.280 appropriately today because that was horrifying. Yeah, a very on theme. So, yeah, 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.080 about all that I said last week about like the Niners, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.600 maybe this being a good time to get them. They 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.160 had that brain game against Washington Panthers coming off to 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.040 buy Yeah, I mean that was a he were some 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.040 of the words used in the Panther's locker room after 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.560 that game ultimate meltdown, played our worst and that's what 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:29.360 you get. Um, you know, failed the test, complete let down. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.800 I mean, so those were we don't really even need 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.160 to pile on. I mean that kind of tells you 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:34.800 the story of the game. So does the score. I 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.640 mean thirteen. It's one of the worst losses by a 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:42.440 margin of defeat in team history. Um. The scary thing 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.160 I will say about this first off is the forty Niners. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.320 They look really good. I came away as poorly as 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.560 Carolina played. I came away extremely impressed with San Francisco. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.720 We knew their defense was going to be outstanding. It's 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.880 been outstanding all year. We knew it was gonna be 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.600 tough on Kyle and that offense to move the ball consistently. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.080 But the Niners offense, without really having to stretch the 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.280 field vertically, still was able to carve up yards in 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.160 the run game. And that's been something they've been able 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.760 to lean on all year and teams haven't been able 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.200 to stop it. I mean, their run game has just 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.279 consistently been there. And I thought Kyle Shanahan just called 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.200 a masterful game. I mean he had Carolina completely off balanced, screens, misdirection, 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.440 a little bit of everything. Um. And so I walked 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.960 out of that same stadium. I walked into it being like, 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.279 I'm not sure that the four Niners are this good. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.400 I walked out saying I was very wrong. Yeah, it 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:36.080 was really. I think the most impressive part was the 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.680 confusion of the Panthers defense. This is a defense that 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.800 is in the top five overall in the league, and 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.279 they looked confused and being on the sidelines and being 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.440 down there. I mean, and you mentioned Kyle Shanahan and 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.720 his staff came up with the the blueprint of how 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.440 to beat the Carolina Panthers, and the team executed it perfectly. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.800 I think that was just it was such good football 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.480 by the forty Niners that you tuned in a little 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.320 bit for that reason. And I think last week, like 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.800 you're saying all that that we said about this could 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.080 be the week, you know, good time to get the 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.760 boarding Niners. I don't think that often that like I 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.520 drink the kool Aid of like, al right, like this 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.400 team we can beat anybody, like I think I have 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.880 normally I drink the kool aid. Last you were pretty kind. 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.360 I was drinking the kool aid up until George Kittle 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.200 the little tipped ball thing, the spooky thing. Where so 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.680 is that when it seemed like a lot of fans 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.920 immediately were like, well, it's gonna be that kind of game. 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.680 Immediately when that play happened, did you kind of play 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.479 the game? And I was like, well, if they're going 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.120 to catch passes off a tip pass and that's just 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.960 this is just I was gonna go, well, I think 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.920 what had happened in weeks previously is that the Panthers defense, 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.719 they came up with that ball like that was you know, 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.440 the takeaways were all over the place. You you got 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.080 those big momentum shift type plays that fell in the 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.440 way of the Panthers. I think it was just for 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.000 the first time in four weeks where a play didn't 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.640 go your way. And I mean on defense, I think offensively, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.039 like there's some stumbling blocks that they had, I mean 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.120 the fumbles and all of that in those first two 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.000 weeks with Kyle starting, but then you didn't really see 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.800 that and that that was it was a it was 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.479 a it was a bad omen early because yeah, I 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.400 mean that's its potentially a huge play to intercept that 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.200 ball set up a short field. Of course, San Francisco 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.640 goes right down in scores, but throughout the course of 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.560 the game, I mean early on Luke has that interception 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.880 and they're right back in it with that response, and 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.480 then even later on they get the Bruce Servant safety, 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.800 Christian scores two point conversion. All of a sudden, this 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.400 is a you know, a game that's within reach, and 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.960 I think it just showed that throughout the course of 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.000 the game, the Niners had exerted kind of their their 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.280 dominance when Carolina got close ish there, then I just 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.960 came right back down and scored. Yeah, I mean it 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.000 plays a place seventy five yards four minute drive and 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.039 then the debo twenty yard run. I mean that was 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.760 that was the backbreaker for me. So I I felt 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.760 personally like, sure we could sit here and and say, oh, 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.120 if this play goes differently here, if this one goes 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.159 differently there. The reality of it, I think is San 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.360 Francisco when truly tested, and it wasn't often in that 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.520 game when Carolina really came close that once, after McCaffrey's score, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.560 they were able to say enough of this and they 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:16.840 put it over. I mean, I think you get a 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.240 three and out there and all of a sudden you 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.480 get the ball back. I mean you know they were there, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.800 They were able to get decent film position at times. 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.760 You get the ball back down fourteen middle of the 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.200 third quarter, and you know Christian is starting to find holes. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.160 You get some momentum. I mean, I mean they completely 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.680 responded on that drive. And then after that then it 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.200 was more pressure on Kyle than it was. You know, 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.160 the defense couldn't get another stop. I mean it was 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.160 that was and and you said, look Christian was finding 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.400 running room. I think that was one of the more 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.040 disappointing things about this. I mean, the Panthers averaged let's see, 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.160 six point eight yards per rush. I mean, they were 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.160 able to run the ball effectually. They just couldn't do 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.360 it because the score indicated the fact. You know, they 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.400 just they just didn't They they had to pass the 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.120 football they were down so big. But if they were 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.320 able to have kept that within striking distance, you had 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.640 got the feeling that, hey, I mean they were able 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.760 to have success in the ground, they just couldn't go 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.800 to it. And obviously the Niners were able to kind 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.720 of dictate the terms from start to finish. And one 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.280 of the things the Niners they didn't get into third downs. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.320 I think they only had like two or three third 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.480 down attempts in the first three quarters. I mean it 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.080 wasn't until the fourth when then you know, you kind 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.120 of put in the backups and all that. But I mean, yeah, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.000 they didn't even have to. Yeah, I mean it talked 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.760 to Luke about that after the game, and it was like, 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.960 the Niners can get four or five six yards on 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.200 the ground on first down whenever they wanted to, and 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.680 when a team can do that. Then on second and four, 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.880 it's wide open. The playbook is is all there for Shannon, 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.559 and he can go screen, he can take a shot, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.480 they can hand it off again, and as a defense, 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.640 you're just completely on your heels. And that was the 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.280 way it seemed really for all four quarters. Was was 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.480 Carolina not able to win on first down defensively, and 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.360 when you do that against that team, it's trouble. And 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.920 that's what we saw well, I think too, what was 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.760 impressive about the forty Niners was the blueprint of how 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.440 they would like to win is exactly what they got 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.719 to do on Sunday. So, you know mentioning, I mean, yeah, 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.400 you're getting over six yards per carry and all of 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.360 those things, but I just don't the Pathers couldn't do 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.720 that because they got off to an early start, they 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.480 were able to let their pass rush tea up and 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.880 do whatever they wanted like it was a It really 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.240 was such an impressive performance by the forty Niners. You 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.480 just hate the fact that the Panthers were the ones 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.480 playing them. So that was the welcome to Halloween Week 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.480 that the Carolina Panthers and us here at the group 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.840 chat were handed So that's where we are. But since 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.800 it is Halloween weekend, let's dress our Carolina Panthers up. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.280 So what do different parts of this Carolina Panthers team 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.160 need to dress up as for Halloween this weekend against 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.320 the Tennessee Titans to walk away with a win. Actually 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.640 want to go first first? Okay for me, the entire 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.600 team should go as the men in Black. And here's 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.719 why we'll correct me if I'm wrong. I think they're 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.760 gonna wear black jersey's again. Right, Um? Pretty sure? Which 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:03.559 which works? That's it is competent? Pretty sure? Two men 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.800 in black, Like their whole objective is kind of like 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.400 take care of these like alien creatures. So it's kind 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.320 of like scary monsters. It works for kind of what 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.040 we're saying about what happened last week. What the Tennessee 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.080 Titans are right now? They're kind of aliens. We're not 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.000 really sure anymore. Like, who what is this this weird 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.280 life form that's coming to Bank America's stadium? Ryan's Tannehill 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.000 is quarterback in this team, not America's Mariota. What's happening here? Um? 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.440 But here's the main reason why the Men in Black 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.199 have this device where you hold it up and they 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.079 hit that button and it erases your memory. Panthers need 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.280 to erase the memory of what happened in Santa Clara. 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.760 Just completely forget about it. It happened. It was a loss, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.199 a really bad loss of that. But I think it's 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.640 just one of those where, sure, you gotta watch the tape, 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.200 you gotta learn some lessons from it and all that. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.400 I think it's it's one of those where let's just 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.400 let's just burn it and just forget it. Let's forget 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.520 it happened and move on to Tennessee. Just be Tennessee. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.280 Doesn't matter if you beat Tennessee six or three. Just 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.679 beat the Titans and get this thing back on track. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:11.680 So that's my why go First, we should have known 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.920 he always came up with this. You asked me this 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.720 in the elevator. I came and like I had not 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.880 thought a second about that. That was I'm a little 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.240 proud of myself for this one, too. Was under the 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.400 gun walking into the studio to come up with this. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:30.839 I know I can't compete. I don't know. I think, okay, 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.880 so I have too that I think are kind of funny. So, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.240 first off, we saw that the run defense, they were 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.080 exposed and this has been a problem for the last 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.680 couple of weeks. Has been kind of the kryptonite of 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.520 the Panthers defense, and it was just fully exposed when 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.400 they went and played the forty Niners. So I have 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.400 lived in apartments my entire life. I'm not a homeowner. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.280 I have not had to do this on my own. 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.880 But when you move out of an apartment, you're told 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.920 by your apartment complex, Okay, if the you know whole 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.600 in the wall are bigger than a quarter, than you're 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.920 going to be charged for them. Well, look, I'm not 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.679 a handyman. I've hung many of shelves that have fallen 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.760 off the wall and put like dollar size holes into 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:18.760 my into my wall soar like like silver silver dollar rectangles. Yeah, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:25.839 I was baking around and silver dollar silver dollar. But 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.560 then you have to come and you have to put 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.600 grout in it or you're going to get charged. I 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.520 would love for this Carolina Panthers defense to be like 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:36.000 apartment maintenance men and they're just walking around filling all 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.360 the holes in the apartment complex. And you're walking around 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.160 with your grout and you got your little you know 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.280 hat on, you got your little scraper tool and you're 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.840 walking around just plugging all the holes in all of 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.840 the apartment complex. Please do that with these Tennessee Titans, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.280 because they're coming in with a lot of question marks, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.520 but they still have you know, running back there, I 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.280 got a questionable, like what's going on at this quarterback thing? 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.600 Just just just be a little apartment maintenance man. So 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:00.880 I want to be able to call put my main 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:02.520 answer quest in and come in and fix my house. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.200 Would that cost and be like one of the guys 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:09.240 from the village people, Yes, exactly. Just picture that Bob 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:14.720 the builder want, Jerald McCoy and Bruce Arvan and all 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.000 those boys, just you know, in a little hardts My 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.720 second one that I think is even better than that. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.720 And some of you are like, thank god, because I 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:27.000 was all Kyle Allen, I did get an assist on 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.720 this one. Oh good play on words to thank you. 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.439 Kyle Allen needs to dress up as Steve Nash. Why 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.600 because he just needs to pass the ball. He just 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.960 needs to get it to the playmakers. He needs to 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.240 just pass it off to Curtis Samuel, pass it off 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.280 to CMC, pass it off to you know, Greg Olsen, 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.720 get it to your playmakers and let them make the play, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.480 because what we heard from this last week is he 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.319 was trying to do too much. His clock was going 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.040 too fast, he wasn't able to really get in his rhythm. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.040 Just like, be who you are, Kyle. I want you 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.400 to be Steve Nash. You can wear a thirteen you know, 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.240 Sun's jersey from Arizona. It just fits with do you 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.920 walk around like you're the assist man. And that's what 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.240 I want from Kyle Allen. I like that one. Yeah, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.280 that's what And that's what Ron said, And he mentioned 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.840 like there was a lot of deep shots that were 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.000 kind of just hopeful passes, and it seemed like Kyle 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:15.720 just kind of it just kind of got away from 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.040 him where he was feeling the rush and he wanted 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.040 so badly just to get a big chunk play and 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.040 this happens um But he's at his best when he 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.960 stays within himself. And to your point, Caroline's just getting 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.880 the ball out of his hands quickly and letting those 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.080 guys do the rest. And I think that will be 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.600 the formula for success against the Titans for sure. It 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.320 I can't follow that up, but did you like that one? Too. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.040 That was pretty good, all right, So, I mean I 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.120 was kind of building off of that. Obviously, Kyle needs 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.280 to be Steve Nash. But when they get the ball, 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.120 Curtis and DJ need to go into that phone booth 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:50.760 in London that we went in and they need to 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.360 come out with their Superman on. They need to they 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.240 need to take off their their Clark Kent's and become 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:02.800 Superman because we need some plays from someone other than Christian. Yeah. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.280 I mean I always gonna say that we're reaching the 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.400 midway point this season, are you guys? Has it been 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.600 a little disappointing what we've seen from DJ and Curtis, 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.000 you know, outside of like a couple of plays in 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.200 London from Curtis and outside of you know, that that 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.560 big catch and run in Arizona, Like we haven't really 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.000 seen DJ kind of b DJ. Yeah. I mean we've 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.480 seen it's like DJ on the Slants consistently, right, and 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.480 that's kind of been there for them. Curtis, it just 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.000 seems like they want so badly to get him involved 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.400 with explosive plays, but it's been it's been hard to 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.080 do consistently. I mean they targeted him eleven times and 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.280 only had four connections. Their inability to connect on these 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.720 plays that are designed for Curtis has been a little 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.920 troubling because we know what those two can do for 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.400 this team when they are making plays, and that just 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:51.840 it hasn't always been there. And I know we all 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.560 came into the season thinking DJ and Curtis this is 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.720 these guys are gonna be fun to watch, and here 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.520 we are the midway point, we're still kind of waiting 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.280 for those guys to really kind of get into a group. 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.600 I think I got to thinking about this on the 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.320 way back from San Francisco, about this offense, and I 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:08.920 kind of went back and looked at some of my 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.720 notes from training camp of like, you know, when we 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.800 make these predictions or we think what's going to happen, 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.320 we'll never know this because this is like two game 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.760 plan ish that they're never going to share this. But 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.280 I think the troubles on offensive line and not troubles 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.120 of like they haven't been doing their job this this week. 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.760 He has Afford niners. Everything about that was scary. But 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:34.600 if you take that one out, having to pass protect 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.240 the way that this team has had to, I think 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.200 up to this point in this season has completely changed 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.960 the way that you're using your wide receivers, the way 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.400 that you're using your tight ends, you're running backs, Like, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.200 everything about this starts at the line. That's why you 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.640 hear gms all the time and coaches all the time 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.720 said that starts, you know, in the trench. Is gonna 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.480 start up front. I think if if you would have 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.800 had the same five playing offensive line and and it 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.240 and it working, and it really being like, hey, we 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.240 have five really stout guys that we believe can win 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.040 their one on ones. We're not having to stick an 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.920 extra linement in there, We're not having to use Greg 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.199 Olsen to chip a guy or Christie McCaffrey, and just 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.960 letting your playmakers be out there to make plays only 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.680 and not have to, you know, work in past protection. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.160 I think it's a big deal when you're talking about 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.040 Chris sam you want and d J. Moore because they 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.679 are the only two probably on every play you know, 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.120 mindus when Jerry's right is in there or another wide 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.960 receiver that they don't have to do anything per se 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.840 of like chipping a guy in past protection. Their only 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.520 job is to get down the field and get open. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:37.840 So then you would say like Oh, then they should 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.400 be getting the ball all the time. But there are 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.160 what nine other people on that field that are worried 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.680 about keeping eight worried about well, Kyle's worried too, about 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.399 keeping him upright. So I think when when that is 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.520 the focus and it's not the focus of like, just 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.600 get it to the playmakers, is the focus of allow 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:55.879 him time to get it to the playmakers. I just 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:57.800 think that's a different mindset that I don't think this 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.760 offense has taken the next step. You give Matts go 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.080 and nor have a ton of credit for what they've 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.000 been able to do with that offensive line, but the 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.840 fact is you're having to put a ton of time 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.600 and effort into past protection because you don't have the 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.560 same solid five guys. You're rotating your left tackle out, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.040 you know, in and out of games. Like there's a 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:19.040 lot of worry about keeping Kyle upright that I think 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.200 it's like one of the last thing on Kyle's mind. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.119 It's like, oh, let me find Kurt Code down the field, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.080 let me let me make sure DJ gets as fall. 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.520 Like I think that's just me. We'll never know that, 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.240 and that may be me looking into I've never played 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.040 it down to football. I've never been out there on offense, 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.960 so you can come at me about that. But I 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.919 just think when you're looking at the offensive line and 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:38.680 what they're having to do in past protection, when you're 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.800 changing out your left tackle, when you're asking Greg Olson 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.800 to block a lot, when you're you know, like all 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.280 these other weapons, where if a team is going to say, hey, 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.199 we'll pick your poison, and the pick your poison is 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.479 we're just gonna get after your quarterback because you have 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.200 to pass protect him. I just think that's when like, okay, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.280 then well you know we'll play press, cover what we'll 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.119 we'll cover. Man. Here, here's what I would say to like, 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.240 you're down three in the first half, you're gonna have 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.800 a hard time pass protecting. Yeah, okay, Like it's I 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.720 don't care who's playing left tackle. They could put four 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.240 different guys out there. They could have had one guy 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.200 at every position the entire time. Like the penalties this 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.159 this offense had to set them up for first and fifteens, 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.919 second and twenties. At one time it was thirty and 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.320 third and thirty. I mean, you're not going to be 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.440 able to execute this offense the way it's designed to win, 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:28.960 and and again, I don't care if it's the best 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.840 pass blocking offensive line in the NFL, you're down that 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.879 big and that's that's the situation against that defense, when 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.040 they can pin their ears back, it's going to look 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.399
