Yeah, and we just 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.280 I just wanted you to know that, like there's not 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.760 much we can do except be there for were you?

Yes, Okay, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.880 thank you. Now now we're through all that. Eight eight 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:17.479 eight eight five five twenty two ninety seven eight eight eight. 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:20.839 We want to know if the twenty two I should 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.920 remember him it all for you should? Yeah, we want 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.400 to know if the sky is still falling after you 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.560 had another night's sleep on that game, and if you 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:36.000 watched the two games last night. Truly he's the guys, 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.680 Scott still falling for you. As you saw the ease quarter. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:44.400 These quarterbacks two interceptions. These quarterbacks I one of them 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.040 had a terrible night. I on Holland Park. It was 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.640 terrible night. That was brutal. Yep. Do you still feel 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.600 the same way about our car? Even though they had 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.040 terrible nights, they were still going down the field with it. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.000 Yes they were, and they would get throw an interception 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.320 and then they come right back and have memories. So 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.160 I think that's kind of where I'm at so do 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.599 you feel that the sky's fault? Well, see, I was, 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.080 I was obviously gone. Yes, Dad, I listened to the 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.360 show and I got to admit I need I need 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.120 to be talked off the ledge a little bit. I've 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.880 got some concerns there. Yeah, what do you think about 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.440 the game? First, because we didn't get your take on 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.880 it yet. The game overall was ugly. I mean it 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.240 looked like a team that you know, I hadn't played 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.560 together much and and just couldn't get much going. I 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.400 what are your big concerns coming out of that game? Dak? Definitely, 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.120 that's your biggest coness. My biggest concern and what part 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.320 of Dad that I think defenses are going to do 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.679 exactly what Carolina did. They're gonna load up and stop 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.279 the run. They've got our our guys on the outside. 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.360 The receivers, I don't know are good enough to beat 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.080 one on one coverage, and that means Dak's got to 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.200 carry the load and I don't know yet. Let me 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.599 stop you right the hangover. Look at that monitor, man, 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:04.000 Look how everyone knows you're pretty cool? Good that is 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:08.080 to you. It's pretty shiny on that screen, now, you know, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.680 what my friend and I got into like six arguments 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:17.320 yesterday on different spots and hits. I was doing when 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.800 I when I watched the game, I'm watching it. You know, 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.719 I'm kind of from a fan a little bit, mostly 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.920 analysts because we have to do this thing. Man Man 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:29.840 broad Us and ever Swaz was with us and miss lindsay. Yeah. 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.359 But when I got home and I watched and I 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.680 started watching that film, and I started watching the game 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.560 over and over, I just kept running it back, and 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.200 I'm saying to myself, I quarterbated me fixed. And then 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:51.280 I start hearing hearing the different over the last nine games, this, this, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.600 and this. So two questions I have And y'all may 0:06:54.600 --> 0:07:00.440 not have these questions, but I have these questions. Is 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.240 is it our offense? It called our execution. I call 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.440 an execution offense where my guy lines up and through 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.520 my guy being better, my guy being more prepared, we're 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:15.960 gonna succeed. Okay, if do we have the right players 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:21.920 for our offense? Are Because if we don't have the 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.160 right players for our offense, that means our coach is 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.040 gonna have to make some great adjustments to help these 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.400 guys get open. Okay, Yeah, you're supposed to run a 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.280 five and end. Yeah, you're supposed to run a skinny post. Yeah, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.640 and you're supposed to clear out this or this. But 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.320 can you get there so our quarterback can set his 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:43.840 feet because now all of a sudden we got to 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.240 hear about mechanics again. Can't set his feet and get 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.200 the ball out of his hands? Or do we go 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.239 back to his roots of where we run the zone 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.120 read a lot and let and let and let the 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.960 run pass option always be in in in his repertation? 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.760 What do we do? I don't know. It's only one game, 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:09.960 one event, but we didn't. We didn't get into their 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.040 fifty yard line into the third quarter. We didn't get 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:19.200 in the ridzone until almost the fourth quarter. Okay, when 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:24.360 we left training camp, this is what we knew. Our 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:29.480 offense is supposed to hold us. This is what we knew. Okay, 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.120 a lot of teams struggle. A lot of teams are 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.240 supposed to have good offenses struggle. But also a lot 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:39.160 of teams with good offenses didn't struggle. Okay, our defense 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.760 played well enough that we could have won the game. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.199 It was sixteen eight. How do we fix and this, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.840 just Nate, how do we fix our quarterback? We have 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.280 to fix our quarterback because I understand that we are 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.240 running team. But but teams are gonna stop that they're 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.160 I've been trying to say this for two years. What 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.360 happens when they stop by a run game? What happens 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.880 when they do load up or they got four or 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.040 five guys up front that's good enough where they can 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.120 cover in the back end. What happens now? The weakness 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.000 going into the Carolina game, that one thing that we 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.800 knew was gonna be weak. Was there two corners? It 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.240 didn't even come to that. No, it didn't even come 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.240 to that, fellas. And now you're getting ready to face 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.760 two pretty good corners in excellent safety. So let's go 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.360 to the phone. We gotta call her, Adrian and Florida. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.719 What's up? Adrian? Hey, guys, what's happening? First time I'm 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.440 calling a long time listener. Thanks for listening. Man, Hey, Kurt, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.040 good to see you back, man, Shannon, Good to see 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.120 you a sport in the h mister clean, look feels good, man, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.440 Feel good? Y'all looking good? Big Nate Man, I always 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.360 love you, brother. I'm not gonna keep y'all along, but 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.800 I went up to the game on Sunday, caught all 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.680 kind of hill. Grew up in Charlotte, but I've always 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.720 been a Cowboys fan. Was it seems like the Cowboys 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.880 are always playing checkers with everybody else's playing chess, kind 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:13.040 of like that analogy. You know, my friend, Uh, I'm 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.079 not gonna be one of those people that pile on 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:20.360 to our coaches and pile on. But if we expect 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:25.000 to be successful with our run game, we do have 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.480 to have the ability to kind of say, okay that 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.000 we may have to run on the edges because the 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:36.480 middle is the middle ist is tough with with Dontario, 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.040 Pole Short and Kinkley, that was that was a triangle 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.120 we didn't We shouldn't have. We should have been trying 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.560 to get on the edges to you know, as the 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.600 game went on, they figured out, we gotta get on 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.480 the edges. We can't go in with two tight ends 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.160 in the full back and run straight up the middle. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.199 Because once we challenged their manhood like that and they 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.120 won that round that they was flying around. For the 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.000 next twenty to twenty five play they would flying around. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.720 They didn't care, you know, and now they say, okay, 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.079 we got them behind the chaine. We were two and 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.679 two and eleven. On third downs, they got us behind 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.680 the chains. Whether it was a penalty, whether it was 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.720 a bad route run or you couldn't get it open, 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.080 or whether they caught us in the backfield or sack, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.559 they kept us in lone yard of situations. You can't 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.400 survive like that. Yeah, not so much. Third down killed us. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.160 It was first and second. That it's called execution offense. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.920 When you run an execution offense, every down is important, 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.839 you know, whereas you're a little more inventive a lot 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.400 of teams second and second and seven. Don't bother them 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.040 to wait second and seven bother us, you know, because 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.160 we have to have when you run our execution offense, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.000 and all offenses are predicated offense. But us more so 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.360 important is when we get the third down, it has 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.960 to be third and fourth, third and four or third 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.240 and three. It has to be third and four and less. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.319 Whereas as you saw last night with the Raiders, as 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.920 you saw last night with the Rams, thirty five, on't 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.000 bother them. I mean it's just something that they do, 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.960 you know they if you saw, I mean they ran 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.600 the jet sweep with number thirty that's Todd Gurling. You're 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:27.480 running back running a jet sweep. And so when jet sweeps, 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.360 they called it a fly sweep. Last night that was 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.040 what my man with was called the fly sweep. Okay, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.920 the fly sweet work. When you truly have a your 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:41.360 running game is working. It truly works. But you it's 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.679 different ways you can run it. You can run your 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.319 back in motion out to the to the to the 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.040 slot and bringing back across like they did. You can 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.679 you can do your saying with your wide receivers, you know, 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.679 but you have have you have to have had some 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.760 success doing other things. We didn't have success. So when 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.640 we ran out one time with our guy jets shop 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.079 be didn't getting no game? Yeah yeah, Adrian, was there 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.480 was there a silver lining in that game for you? 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:14.360 Or was it just you just disgusted with the whole thing? No, no, no, no, man, 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.000 I'm telling you what. I was impressed with a defense. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.959 I mean to give up what thirty three percent first 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.200 first time percentage for Carolina. There was a lot of 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.600 times that we had a chance to have a lot 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.680 of turnovers. That one that he'd missed, h the interception 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.040 he had he could have had Normally he would make that. 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.800 But that's okay. Uh, defense played good at Silver Line. 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.720 It d Law did what he needed to do. Sean Lee, 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.079 you know that's a rarity that he missed a little 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.480 a tackle from little McCaffrey. You know. Overall, you know, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.440 Rady Gregory got in there, got into action. A lot 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.800 of stuff looked good on the defensive side of the ball. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.280 We just need to be a little bit more balanced. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.960 And I think it's gonna happen. I'm not gonna you know, 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.199 I'm a rider Doc cowboy fan. I'm not gonna get uh, 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.960 you know, start firing people as the first game. I 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.840 think it's because everybody's vanilla from not playing enough snaps 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.400 in the preseason. I think it'll work itself out. But 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.040 the defense looked great. Hey man, I appreciate y'all and 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.559 always keep it up. Man, love you, Kurt, appreciate it. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.600 Thanks Adrian, Kurt. Was there a silver lining for you? Well, yeah, 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.200 there were some good things from the defense, for sure. 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.040 I don't offensively, No, it wasn't a lot, but I mean, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.720 you like what the front line can do. I think, 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.280 you know, Melee Collins got in their first sack. You know, 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.440 DeMarcus looks like he's picked up right where he left off. 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.200 Ross was a pleasant surprise. I think both corners. Both 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:41.240 corners played pretty well Louisia and Uh Byron Jones, I 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.960 don't know. I think going into this season, what you 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.320 hoped for was a maybe defense in the top half 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.840 of the league and in the lead offense. UM, but 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.080 you might have one of those. Well, I think you're 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.120 gonna have a good upper half defense, but I don't 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.360 know if you're gonna have an elite defense. Yet they're 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.840 gonna need him if it's offense didn't turn. I agree, man, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.640 we we almost took for granted. I mean I did, 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.200 and I keep saying weak, but I took for granted 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.239 that all offense would be not not hitting on all cylinders, 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.400 but would just be a what would by the second 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.840 by the second quarter. I'm like, Okay, we're gonna figure 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.200 this out and we're gonna you know, they cannot hold 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.840 us up on the twenty points. I just I felt 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.440 that I believe that, uh, and I still do. I'm 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:36.480 still if Dak has some special things that he has 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:41.840 to work on. Okay, it's twelve hours in the day, yeah, okay, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.680 and let's work on them, on them, because when the 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.120 game comes, it has to all be natural. Believe me, now, 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.480 when the game comes, if you're thinking in the game, 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.600 I don't know. I don't know it. But the dak 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.400 we saw for twenty for twenty games his rookie year, 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.560 and then for six to seven games his sophomore year 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.880 don't match what we've seen well, I think the last 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.840 eight or nine games, because he had in running he 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.280 had a running game. Then for the most part, he didn't. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.960 He hasn't much this since the second half of last 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.000 season at all things. You know, let's go back to 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:22.240 the phones. We actually have two Nates in Frisco. What's up, Nate? Hey, 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.240 what's going on? How are you doing? Guys? All right, man, 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.720 how are you doing? Okay? So I don't want to 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.000 I'm not in panic mode and I don't want to 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.360 have a knee jerk reaction. But you're looking at the schedule, 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.160 and even though I know the Giants, you know lost, 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.680 I just I'm so pretty worried about this offense, uh, 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.960 particularly because of Dak And it's really not the receivers. 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.920 I think it's dak Um. But I don't want to go. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.360 Like I said, I don't want to get two panicky. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.920 But my question is if we're looking at oh and 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.080 two or oh and three after the Seahawks, hold on, 0:16:55.160 --> 0:17:01.440 bro oh Man, whoa you you ain't panic but you 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.000 just said after you ain't panicking. But if we look 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.360 at at oh and two and come on, now, so 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.359 you either panicking? Are you not panicking? Because it ain't 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.640 lining it up? Okay, so let's start over. We got 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.840 nat in Frisco. Now what you're thinking, what's going on? NW? 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:23.880 Al Right? Well, my question is if if I mean, 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.080 if we are hypothetically and an O and three record 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.960 after week three, uh, is that where we're gonna start 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.440 really honestly looking at outside the organization for a new coach. 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.720 And And the reason I knew you was going there, 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.199 I knew you was going The reason I asked that 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:45.320 is because even though I mean, from what it looks like, 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.119 from what it sounds like, uh, you know, they've been 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.919 kind of doing some kind of patriot esque type of moves, 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.400 you know, trying the roster now, whether it's for financial 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:58.080 reasons or whatnot. But the reason I ask is even 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.520 though he renigged into decided not to go be the 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:06.200 coach Josh Josh McDaniels could be out there, and maybe 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.360 an organization like the Cowboys is a little stronger than 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.160 the Colts, and so maybe we can maybe he decides 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:20.600 to leave. I don't know. My question is, wow, Nate, Nate, 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:25.359 we have fifteen more games. We're not going to answer 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.520 that question, not today, And you just said you don't 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.080 want to You're not paying hypothetically got our coach out 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.080 of here. Okay, So Nate, is it anything else? And 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.200 if you ask for prayers, you better be driving like hell. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.120 Now you have a nice day. Okay, Thanks Nate, Thank you, Nate. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.440 I'll say one thing that watching that game, attend again, 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.000 it was first game overreaction and panicky stuff. But there 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.800 were times during that game that I thought I'm watching 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.320 a franchise quarterback and one that's not. And I realized 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.720 Cam's got more experience in his just a bigger body. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.680 But it just that that position worries me a little 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.960 because Dak is gonna have to carry this team at 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:13.000 some point. I tell people I would be the first 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:17.360 that we are running team, and I buy into that wholeheartedly. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.840 But the NFC East and I was trying to tell 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.840 our look Camber guy. That a good guy, young guy. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.280 I was telling them during the preseason game. I say, Wow, 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.920 we gotta, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta work through 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.359 our young guy. We gotta make sure that he's healthy 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.840 and our young guy don't get mentally beat down our 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:37.520 left guard. He said, well, you know, it's just the 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.520 Cincinnati I say, son, do you know that we got 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:46.199 these certain guys in our division that was one was 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:50.320 drafted after, but Fletcher Cox was a guy that they 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.200 always had in Philadelphia. We're gonna see them two times. 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:58.120 We're gonna see Snacks and in Devin Harris two times, 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.720 and we're gonna see them two Bama boys that's getting 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.640 better for Alabama. We're gonna see them two times, those 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:11.640 guys with the Redskins and the guys with the giants. 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.919 Was brought here because we got Zeke. You see what 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.280 I'm saying, And they want them to say. We don't 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.000 want to have to commit an age guy to the box. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.639 We want to try to do this. And now we 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.359 have a left guard that's learning and I think he 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.120 will get better in a center that we know it's 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:35.359 playing okay, but our center normally, could you know makes 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.919 out until we get comfortable with Looney in the running scheme, 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.200 in the passing scheme, and see what he truly can do. 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.600 And we're gonna have to deal with that. My only 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.480 issue is, I'm not even worrying about the left guard. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:53.480 I'm worrying about can we scheme up enough that we 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.040 can take a little bit of the pressure off. And 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.280 because in the world that I live in, and that's 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.639 the offensive line, you can't spend all day trying to 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.520 help one guy. You can't. It's just it's impossible because 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.879 they're gonna it's gonna cramp your offense. But it is 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.040 a few things you can do to slow down those 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.960 other guys and uh, you know, getting get a little 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:14.760 bit more to the outside, which I think we tried 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.800 to do as the game went on. Uh, quicker passes, 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.720 because if you saw last night they were doing a 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.000 deal on car way earlier, he was getting it out 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.800 one point seven. No, yeah, you know, he was just 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.600 getting it out of there. And but but I knew, 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.840 you know, later on in the game said, because they're 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.399 gonna start sitting on them quick fast, you're gonna have 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:37.879 to stand back there and throw it a little longer 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.119 and when you did, that's when the pressure came. And 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.920 so it's it's a it's a checkers game, not a 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:52.679 chess game. It's a chess game. And like I like 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.879 I said, you know the reason I am kind of 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.199 panicky because you got herb and fix the quarterback. That 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:04.119 is one position that from week to week changes for 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.840 that quarterback. You can have it. You can keep the 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.560 same running scheme for your offensive line, you can keep 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:12.240 the same blocking scheme for your offensive line. But what 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:16.480 changes is that quarterback that his game plan changes in 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:21.600 various every week depending on what that defense presents. I mean, 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:25.399 it truly changes. So you can't be saying, okay, now 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.640 when you drop back this time, make sure your foot 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:30.160 is pointing the way you're gonna throw, and make sure 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:33.080 your shoulders a square because when you get up under heat, 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:37.200 like we saw last night with even a cluttering quarterback 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.480 at Detroit, when you get up under heat, a thing 0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.080 started to go haywire in your head. A quarterback, to me, 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.080 they say he's a thoroughbread but I think a quarterback 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:50.760 is a mule, and a mule once once something go wrong, 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.840 a mule pool all day, but once something go haywire, 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.160 wrong up in here. Hill stop and he gonna start 0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:01.200 either bad brand or kicking, and a quarterback on either 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:07.880 start uh throwing interceptions. Whole bunch of incomplete grounders there is. Yeah. Yeah, 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:11.680 that's yeah, that's a great comparison. Yeah, I'm just saying, yeah, 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.680 mut start brand, are you gonna kick the living hard? 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.680 I'm serious. Let's take a quick break. When we come back, 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.600 let's talk about we'll get to Tim in Boston. We'll 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.480 take some more calls, but let's talk about how big 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.400 of a game this second game is. I'm like I said, 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:30.800 I'm not panicking. I think it's one game. But the hypothetical. 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:36.960 But the hypothetical is the coach is gone them himself. No, 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:39.840
