We got Josh Rodriguez, 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.880 Patrick no C Walker currently doing his best Mario Kart impression. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.840 He is, I'd be be bopping down one twenty one. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:31.319 You up. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.160 I met him. So both Isaiah and Patrick got stuck 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.280 in traffic this morning. And then that was a parking 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.319 lot that wasn't track. Yeah, I don't know what that was. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.600 Whoever's on one twenty one today, be safe because apparently 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:42.880 it isrough rough. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.440 There's Patty, Oh what's up? Patrick? Nice of you to 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:52.360 join us. Bro The hill is well, and. 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.960 We we thought it was just gonna be me and 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.720 Josh starting the show, and Isaiah pops in as the 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.880 opens happening, and so beamers in the back. He had 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.320 a two box up, and then he flipped it to 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.320 a three box, but the three box was the empty 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.280 chair Josh and Isaiah, and then he put Josh in 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:08.480 the infant three box. 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.320 And then now we've got a four box ready to roll. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.359 And then we're back to when I when I saw 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.080 opening listen at least being figured it out. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.520 He did. He made adjustments. 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.400 Oh you know what you did there, He saw what 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.359 was going wrong changed you know. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.280 I'm with you, Isaiah, though, because I chose to pull 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.120 out the charge of the day and I went to 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.400 Georgia so soon as the opportunity presented it. 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.320 So you hit that thing. I put those those u 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.200 GA skills to you, so well, you're you're I was 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.480 Alvin Kamara out there. Your ability to hit the hole 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.320 was a little bit better than what I was. Alvin 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.359 Kamara out there, I was I was left. I was right. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.720 I was a gap b C. I was running it wide. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.520 I was you know, yeah, so you. 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.200 Weren't in Ezekiel Elliott or Ricodu. I was Alvin Kamara. Yeah, 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.120 otherwise I'd be later. Let's talk about it. Forty four 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:01.680 to nineteen. 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.560 The Saints dismantle the Dallas Cowboys in Week two at home. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:10.880 It was pretty reminiscent of one playoff lossless a year ago. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.360 It was almost carbon copy, except maybe worse in terms 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.240 of the beat down. I know the playoff game feels 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.560 worse because it was a playoff game and it was 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.840 twenty seven to nothing. But when you give up thirty 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.840 five points in the first half type for the most 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:27.960 in franchise history. 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:33.200 Ouch, it's not good, Joe. Ouch, it's not good. Big Ouch. 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.240 No, it just like you said, it feels very reminiscent 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.880 of the wild card week, even a wide open, tight 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.280 end touchdown where we couldn't. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.600 Even didn't even see him. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.840 Granted they called back, but like just beat by beat, 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.360 it felt just like that, the same feeling in the 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:51.760 press box, the same sort of. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.960 Quiet, eerie, quiet. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.480 Calm to the press box and everyone is just sort 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.080 of in shock of the performance that we're seeing in 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.960 front of us, right, it is just uh, it was painful. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:05.880 But it is weak. Two. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.960 Although it looked like a playoff game, it is only 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:09.600 week two. 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:09.800 Right. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.040 That's a great thing to remember in all of this 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.640 is that it's one loss. It only counts for one. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.040 You don't get doubled up. You don't, you're not automatically one. 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:18.440 And two. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.760 Now you can't allow the Saints to beat you twice 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.320 because you've got a pretty good Ravens. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.200 Team coming to town this week. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.360 So angry one. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.840 Then you will be one into yeah, or they're gonna 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:33.719 be one two yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think there's 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:38.800 a there's a worry amongst Cowboys fans and Patt I'll 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.479 get your insight because you were in the press box 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.880 there as well. It feels like, oh no, here we 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.679 go again. Did a performance like that warrant a reaction? 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.800 I think the reaction is warranted. I don't think it's 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.520 completely off base. And again it goes to what you 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.719 what you're saying, Kyle in that this felt airily reminiscent 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.480 of of January against the Green Bay Packers, and that's 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.120 how it felt in the press box, as Josh can attest. 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.000 It's you know, the offense. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.800 The opposing offense scores a touchdown on the first drive, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.760 then the second drive, then the third drive, and you're like, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.640 oh no, here we go again, and then the fourth 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.320 drive and so forth and so on. Went on to 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.680 score touchdowns on their first six. 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.200 Offensive drives of the game. How many was that six? 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.400 First first six, as in every single one, single one 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:30.600 in like. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.040 Three points on a couple of those. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:37.120 Right goals, no, no, no, no touchdown toutties, tuddies on the 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.680 first six possessions. 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.520 The Cowboys defense scored six on first six. Yeah, you know, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:42.800 and it was interesting. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.359 Yeah, there was a stat New Orleans had scored a 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.400 touchdown on fifteen straight possessions. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.480 Yeah, or scored I think it was just score scored 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.160 on down touchdowns against Cowboys. 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.200 They were able to do so on almost every possession 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.919 against Carolina and then going back to last year as well. 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:05.159 And it it was disheartening and disconcerting to see the 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.520 Cowboys defense flying around like they did against the Cleveland 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.479 Browns and all that talent that the Cleveland Browns have 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.760 and then completely flipped to the other side of the 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.920 coin and kind of revert back to what we saw 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.680 against the Packers. Unable to stop the run, couldn't get takeaways. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.440 They finally worried able to get the takeaway allah Donovan 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.040 Wilson's interception, but prior to that, they couldn't get off 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.719 the field on third down. It was like doctor Strange 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.640 had us trapped in January until we make a bargain 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:33.039 with him. 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.039 I mean, we were stuck in the time loop. Do 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:36.040 we need to do something? 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.720 Is that what we I mean, whatever it takes at 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.280 this point we see And then the added problem was 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:47.000 is that not dissimilar from January where the defense cannot 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.080 get anything done for you? The offense they were making, 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.479 they were getting drives, but they couldn't punch the ball 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.120 in right. You were trading touchdowns for field goals, touchdowns 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.279 for field goals, and when you do that, you're gonna 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.200 get forty four nineteen, if not worse. And the Cowboys 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.240 had opportunities to make plays. I mean, there was the 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.640 miscommunication from Dak to CD Lamb. That could have been 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.480 a touchdown. That's off the board, right, the potential walk 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.080 in touchdown to the right side to Ezekiel Elliott Dack 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.120 skips that ball that could help change momentum, so there 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.320 were plays to be made out of It wasn't as 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.120 bad as we think. It wasn't as bad, but it 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.680 was still trash. I mean, let's let's let's call it 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.480 what it was. That outing was a trash outing for 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.120 the Cowboys now in all three phases because special team. 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Aubrey is Aubrey. Right. 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.920 So when you said three phases, I'm thinking more so 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.680 return game. That's return game d tribute either, like you know. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.520 And that's not a knock on Turpin because Turpin did 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.160 help them with a couple of returns as far as 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.240 field position. But credit to the Saints, they kept kicking 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.480 it away from Turping on kickoff returns Yea and darreon 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.880 Dwanye to do it. But it was one of the 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.520 worst outings defensively that you will see. We still don't 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.080 know what this team is under Zimmer. You have a 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.200 phenomenal showing in Cleveland and then they went to bid 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.560 at home. Here comes to Ragning in the NFL MVP. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.840 Mm hmm. That's gonna be a tough one. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.560 Yeah, I just I'm just I'm just looking over some 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.800 notes and stuff, and one of the things kind of concerning. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:18.880 Dallas. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.000 Cowboys obviously didn't take care of business. That's there's no 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.680 question there. But Al Kamara he's kind of a dude. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.520 He's kind of a dude, and they set him up 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.080 to be a dude. And both the games now, including 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.080 this most recent one where he had four plus touchdowns, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.040 this game he had four touchdowns. His other game where 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.360 he had four plus touchdowns, I think it was a 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.720 five touchdown outing. Both came against what coordinator. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.800 Zem interesting you said it. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.839 To your point, Josh, how you started to show off. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.680 No adjustments were made. Now, that's what was concerning to me. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:00.840 We knew. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.120 We sat here, We talked about it on this show, 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.840 We talked about it on a special edition, we talked 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.040 about it on pregame Live, we talked about it on everything, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.360 all the all the I'm sure. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.839 All the all the all the stories are written up. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.559 This team offensively was very dangerous if they were allot 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.200 at time. That's what we sat here and said last week. Yeah, yeah, right, 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.079 We said, if you don't get back, don't get pressure 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.400 on him. He will dice you up because he has 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.600 the weapons, he has the speed. If and what we 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.320 all assumed if you're able to get back through and 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.920 get some pressure on him, then he will throw some 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.920 up to you. And they got to him one time 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.760 and threw it up. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:37.920 Okay, you got an interception. 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.360 Good job. Outside of that, there was no pressure. Outside 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:42.440 of that, there was. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.000 No creat seemingly no creativity in terms of finding way 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.440 to create pressure. This team was on their heels. Dallas Cowboys, 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.839 that is, was on their heels the entire time. We 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.600 knew there was gonna be misdirection, we knew there was 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.679 gonna be pre snap motions, We knew that you all 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.920 these guys did more than one thing. Okay, Alvin Kamara 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.680 is a receiver and a running back. Taysom Hills a receiver, 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.880 a running back, a quarterback, a full back, and a 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.319 running you know, it's like he's everything. Okay, tight end. 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.000 All these guys do versatile things. So you have to 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.360 find a way to be aggressive early on because if 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.320 you are on the receiving end, you're gonna receive the 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:16.080 l And that's. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.040 Exactly what happened for me. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.200 It was also one of the more concerning things is 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.280 and let's let's qualify it. It is week two. It 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.360 is week two. It is not the playoffs yet. But 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.880 here's why it's concerning for when the playoffs rolled around, 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.280 because this is still a twelve win team for me. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.320 Four more losses to go. Okay, That's how I looked 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.520 at it driving in today. I was like, Okay, got 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.280 one out the way, four more losses to go, but 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.880 it's still a twelve win team. That being said, we 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.840 talked about it going into this season in that it's 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.199 not the regular season we're too much concerned about. It's 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.080 what happens in the postseason. And going up against Clint Kobak, 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.680 you basically went up against Shanahan Junior. And if you 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.480 struggle like that against Shanahan Junior at home, guess what 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.920 awaits you after the bye and potentially, depending on seating, 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.800 what might await you in January, which might be a 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:10.120 rematch with Shanahan. And that's where it really kind of 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.480 gets concerning for me because bringing in Mike Zimmer, making 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.439 the changes, bringing in Eric Kendricks, adding lyn Val Joseph, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.920 adding Jordan Phillips, adding Carlos and all of these guys, 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.440 you're supposed to be doing this with the idea of, hey, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.320 forty nine ers, we're building for you. Obviously we're biding 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.280 to stop the Eagles, but on a bigger picture, will 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.880 biard it, we're building to stop Kyle Shanahan. Finally get 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.360 over that hump. Well, Shanahan Junior just took you to 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.240 the woodshed. Yeah, did so what Shanahan gonna do? 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:36.840 Well? 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.959 And Matt Lafleur and Met laflor and Seann mcvayh Yeah, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.200 that that's true. 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:41.560 Tell me. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.800 I mean the whole tree has given you absolute issues. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.760 And I asked this question yesterday on Cowboys OT and 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.240 when you go up against the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree, 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.960 it's a similar system across the board, but each of 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:55.960 those coaches has. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.680 Their own unique little twist to it. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.840 What was the twist from Clint qb act yesterday that 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.560 kept Dallas completely off balance? 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.160 I just think that the versatility of each player. I 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.720 don't think that Dallas had a solid approach. I don't 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.600 think they knew how to attack New Orleans and in 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.320 their offense, I truly don't. 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.040 I mean, what if I tell you this early in 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.760 the season, for a coordinator that has had all off 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.520 season and even beyond, it. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.760 Felt as if he was still trying to figure it out. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.800 That's what it felt like. I mean, obviously none of 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.880 us know, right, but it felt as if in his 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.120 body language and just watching him on the sideline, it 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.400 looked like he was lost in terms. I'm talking about 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.760 coach Zimmer, right, and I'm sure he will figure it out. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.960 I am almost positive he will figure it out. But 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.800 this was my concern this offseason when we started talking 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.560 about defensive coordinators. You guys remember a conversation we had 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:44.720 we were start talking about Zimmer where he was talking 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.480 about Rex Ryan, who can be the most creative because 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.720 if teams could figure out what you do, can he adjust? 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.400 He's been out the game for a minute, right, and 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.360 he has a solid defense. When it works, it works, 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.280 But when it doesn't work, can you adjust and are 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.600 you as fluid enough to be to create different matchups 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.320 and create different looks to throw off the defense, Because 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:05.400 that's one thing that. 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.840 I knew about Rex Ryan. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.000 I was like, Rex Ryan might get punched into the 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.440 mouth defensively, but guess what, You're gonna see some craziness 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.640 coming to the next series, you know what I'm saying. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.319 So like that was one of my concerns is can 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.440 he adjust and adapt? As the game goes on, and 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.400 this was our first opportunity to see that in the 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:22.080 answer was no. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.360 Well, and I'll say this, and I'm curious what Josh 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.839 thinks about this, the fact that Overshown came off of 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.240 a maniac level game against the Cleveland Browns, finishes this 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.720 game with only eighteen snaps. Now a lot of fans 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.040 are wondering and they're asking, well, no, see, why did 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.560 Overshown have only eighteen Well, it's because of the packages 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.640 that the Cowboys are running. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:40.880 They ran mostly basic. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.040 And with that being said, if you go back to 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.200 what Mike Zimmer said in his press conference on last 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.199 week after the win against the Browns, oh, I think 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:50.920 it was Mike McCarthy. It might have been Mike McCarthy 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.240 who were talking about Overshown versus mayor Stleie. If I 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.360 was McCarthy, because I asked him about Leofil and he 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.320 said that he's trying to get Leo File involved more 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.360 in the cell packages. Well, as it stands to Marvey on, 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.319 Overshown is very involved in sub packages, not so much 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.320 the base. You saw a lot of bass being run 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.360 with Leophile in there. And this is not a knock 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.600 to Leaphile as much as it is, it wasn't working. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.280 So where were the sub packages? So that's question one. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.520 Question two could be a spin off of question one, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.359 which would be why isn't Overshown involved more in the 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.400 base packages? Because you needed that speed against Alvin Kamara. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.960 We talked about it on Friday, would say it with 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.040 your chance? I said, I would spy Alvin Kamara with 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.480 Jordan Lewis, and they didn't. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.560 Here we are. But Isaiah had. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.920 A feasible plan as well, which was okay, well, don't 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:39.040 spy him. But Isaiah was under the premise that Overshown 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.160 would play more and that speed would be out there. Well, 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.360 neither of those things happened. So Overshown eighteen snaps. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:45.360 I don't get that. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.040 I don't understand why you're in base so much throughout 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.760 the game. If their first drive was so was scripted, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.200 but it was effective, it was perfect, It was pitch perfect. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:00.160 We eight plays, eighty yards and it was just chunk, chunk, chunk, exactly. 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:01.760 We just got knocked and we got hit in the 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:07.040 face consecutively over eight plays. And the adjustments made after 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:08.720 that where it's like, okay, let's still. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.960 Not involve to Marvin overshow. 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.880 You know, it's like, all right, that's fine. You know, 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.280 I didn't hear nobell that whole thing. You don't have 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.120 de Marvin Overstone in there. That's a problem for me. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.680 And then on top of that, it's they stopped being creative. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:28.160 They stopped doing their motions that were obviously putting us 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.520 on our heels, right that the moving the line and 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.520 getting us out of position. But after that, in the 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.440 second half, all they were doing were outside runs. 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.280 Yeah, it's like, if you. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.920 Know what they're gonna do, how do you not fix it? 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.320 You know, it's like, all right, you're not going to 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:43.680 run this play anymore. 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.920 We talked about that last week though we knew that 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.680 they were going to go sideline A sideline, Yes, we 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.760 talked about it. It's a sideline, a sign they want 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.200 to get you moving side ways, right, and this and 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.280 let's not just this is not all coach and Zimmer, right. 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:55.360 I don't want to of course, this is not a 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.760 bashing thing on Zimmer, but he did not adjust to 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.280 call a spade a spade, right, And I'm sure he's 0:15:59.320 --> 0:15:59.760 sitting there. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.000 If you go back and look at some of the 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:01.680 sideline footage. 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.520 He looked like he was trying to figure out life, right, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:04.800 And I'm sure he's going to go back and watch 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.720 the film a thousand times over and he'll have to 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:07.400 make adjustments. 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:07.640 Right. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.240 The game is moving, this game is evolving. You have 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:15.440 to move with the times, right, That's yeah. Structure and 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.200 discipline is awesome, but you got to move with the 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.800 times as it goes. But also, these players were not 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.000 getting off blocks execution. These guys were not getting off blocks. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.800 And I don't know, and none of us sit at 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.120 the table know what their gap assignments were any of 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.280 that stuff, but we do know if somebody was responsible 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.760 for them gaps, right, so, and guys were getting consumed 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.880 by blocks and they were getting out. 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.920 I don't even know the best of everything right outmanned. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:47.440 It was concerning to me the lack of h movement 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.440 we had going on the line of scrimmage, and that 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.360 goes across the board. I'm not going to single out 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.680 certain individuals, but there are people that are lighter in 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.160 the butt than they once were before. And once you 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.960 engage with some of these linemen, there was no disengame, 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.080 there was no shedding of blocks. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.040 I can put names I mean you saw Michael Parsons 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.679 walled up multiple times by tight ends. Since when has 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.240 Michael Parson's ever been susceptible to being. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.640 Blocked one on one with a tight end? 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:12.880 Ever? 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:14.000 Never? Never? 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.240 How many times did you see Mazzi Smith on the ground? 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.480 How many times did you see Jordan Phillips on the ground. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.360 I mean it was not all got pushed, Everyone got bullied. 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.399 Everyone on the defensive line got bullied. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:27.760 We talked about this with Micah. 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.119 I'm sorry, yeah, but the one way we know how 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.320 to beat Micah is to run directly at him, sure, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.880 and and to chip him, and to run straight at 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.080 him because he doesn't know how to handle misdirection. And 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:43.159 when you're you're coming towards him with several blockers and 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.320 chipping him, he didn't like. There's just hard the size 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.639 isn't there necessarily for him to make any run stops. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.880 But also in that and also it's it's the unpredictability 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.880 of Clint Kubiak in that from the Shanahan Tree, it's 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.199 they keep you so off balance and that's why you 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:01.280 you have to. 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:02.720 Get pressure on the quarterback. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.560 So our good friend Nicole Hutchinson, she was asking me 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.480 after the game yesterday, she said, well against the Shanahan scheme, like, 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.920 how do you stop the running back? Well, rather it 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.520 be Christian McCaffrey ovin Kamari. You have to have someone 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.639 assigned to them, right, whether it's a direct spy or 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:19.520 you look at a guy like Overshown and say, okay, 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.560 well keep hit. That's your assignment, right, Maybe not necessarily 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.720 a spy, but keep an eye on him. But when 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.040 you don't have that speed or that commitment to that person, 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.679 now it's going to make it more difficult to allow 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.919 pressure to get back there against the quarterback. And then 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.640 you see a rock Perty or you see a Jordan Love, 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.040 or you see a Derek Card dicing you up because 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.560
