Speaker 1: Welcome into the Final Drive presented by Mercury Insurance. Chargers

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: bounce back win thirty to ten in a very humid

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: Miami here with Haley Elwood. Big win for the Chargers,

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: get back to two and two second half. We talked

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: about the four quarters, right, I think it's been preached

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: all week. Thirty six net yards for the Dolphins and

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: zero points, so I'd say they closed the game the

21
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: way they should they did, Kesey Hayward said, dot too,

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: And he just said he was so happy to have

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: capitalized on things that they weren't able to do the

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: last two weeks. And he said a huge key to that,

25
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: especially for the defense, was the fact that the offense

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: took up so much time on their first drive in

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: the third quarter. I don't have the exact number on me,

28
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: but it was a lot. And he said, anytime the

29
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: offense is out there just grinding doing their thing, he

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: goes it obviously makes our job a lot easier. And

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: look at the defense certainly came alive in the second half,

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: and I think just being able to kind of rest,

33
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: kind of take a breath certainly helped them as well. Yeah,

34
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: the offense, it helps when they can hold the ball

35
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: for as long as they did. You know, in Philip

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: rivers his numbers two, I want to pull those up

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: because he was just super efficient. I think he had

38
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback rating of one hundred and forty four in

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: the first half, ended with one hundred and thirty one

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: point nine. So big day from Philip. What can you

41
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: say about Taie Long? Yeah, three field goals, forty four yards,

42
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: forty five yards, fifty one yards, made all his extra

43
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: points for a guy who punts. You said it on Friday,

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: get you guy who can do all three? Right? All three?

45
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I stepped up. Those are huge points. Twelve points, Hiley, Yeah,

46
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: huge points. And I believe that fifty one yard field

47
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: goal was a career long for him. Yes, career long

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: field goal for Tye. And I mean, look, you hear

49
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: coach talk about it. You hear George Sture talk about it.

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: He did this in the CFL. This isn't anything necessarily

51
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: new for him, but at the same time, when you're

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: thrust into an environment, this is kind of new though

53
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: for the NFL because this doesn't happen. It doesn't happen

54
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: up the punter kicking extra points and field goals and

55
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: all that. We're going to talk to Mike Davis in

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: a second. Mike returned, got an interception. He was one

57
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: of the several who have been injured through the first

58
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: quarter of the season. Some more injuries occurred today. Yes,

59
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: you can't control it, but we're starting to see guys

60
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: who maybe weren't relied on to be starters coming in

61
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: and make an impacts. Well, and I think that was

62
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: what was so impressive to me about this team in

63
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: this game, as they had so many guys out prior

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: to the game kicking off, go out in the middle

65
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: of the game, but yet you saw the resolve. We're

66
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: just talking about this guy too, Ty, Can I get

67
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: you two minutes. I'm just saying, what the what are

68
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: the heroes today? Tie Long? If you guys can envision this,

69
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: basically what we're doing is we're about to get on

70
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: the bus. Tie just walk by Tie with a forty

71
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: four yard or a forty five yard or in a

72
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: career long fifty one yard or made all three of

73
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: his extra points punted. What else did you do today?

74
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: If you kickoffs and we got a w That's the

75
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: most important part, most important part. Tie, You're just one

76
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: of many who have to kind of step in for

77
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: people who are injured, and it's all about the ultimate

78
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: team sport man, and you certainly came in today. There's

79
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: so many of us who are having to do more

80
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: than what we're supposed to, you know, and whatever it

81
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: takes to win, you know, I mean, we got a

82
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: team to make a run at this thing, and that's

83
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. We're just trying to you know,

84
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: fight through it and to everything everyone's healthy, and then

85
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: we're going to run with it, you know. But just

86
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: trying to do what I got to do each week

87
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: for what they need me to do. I think after

88
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: that Colts game, one thing that's stuck out to me

89
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: that you said was You're like, I'm not supposed to

90
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: be here. Yeah, you know, I've had shots in the NFL.

91
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm really not supposed to be here. But you've made

92
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: the most of your opportunity. And just how special is

93
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: it to have a success that you've had and really

94
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: helped his team out. Yeah, it's awesome, you know. I

95
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: mean it's something that I knew I could do. I

96
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: just needed the right person to believe in me, you know.

97
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: And that's what Tom did when when I came back

98
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: from the CFL this year, you know, I mean, when

99
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: I was talking to these teams, I could tell, you know,

100
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: that's this is the guy who who believes in me

101
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: once wants me to be here, and and yes, it's

102
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. And then again I just had to

103
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: go do my job. And that's what I'm trying to

104
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: do each week, is just trying to get a little

105
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: better and focus on little things and just trying to

106
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: get a little better each week. It goes beyond Tom,

107
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: but obviously it starts there. But then coach Stewart, Coach Lynn.

108
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: What does coach Stewart meant to your your NFL career,

109

Speaker 1: your early NFL career. He's huge, you know. I mean

129
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: it's been good to have guys like Tyrod and everything

130
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: around me. But um and just trusting my own ability,

131
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, just going through it, you know. And uh,

132
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's to have a guy like Tyrod Taylor

133
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: who's hopping in there, he's doing something new. But to

134
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: have a veteran like him and call Maza who's cold too.

135
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, people don't realize how good he's doing. I know,

136
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's making Tyrod's job easy, you know. And uh,

137
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: I mean people don't realize how good he is, you know,

138
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: and the protection and everything they're doing. Like it's as

139
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: cliche as it sounds, but really like everyone in front

140
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: of me is doing such a good job. So that's huge.

141
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: One more for me. I'll let Haley finish up the humidity.

142
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,560

145
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: before from being in the South, you know, but I

146
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: mean it was hot. It's different than LA. You really

147
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: had to make sure you're hydrated. I mean you walk

148
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: outside and you start sweating. Yeah, it's immediately immediately. You

149
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: know why I'm wearing a suite is beyond me fall

150
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: move ti last one for me? Fifty one yard or

151
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: a career long for you? Just sort of what's your

152
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: mindset when you go out there? You have to make

153
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: that kick and then you make it ultimately drain it. Yeah,

154
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: like there's there's ice in your veins. Yeah, no, it's not.

155
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: It's not that. It's just literally my mindset is, get

156
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: out there. I'm telling myself how many times I've made

157
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: this kike before in my life, you know, I mean

158
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: I've practiced it hitting games before in college, CFL and

159
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: then now here. But it was just draining. What was

160
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: your longest in the CFL? Fifty two? Okay, so right

161
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: around her, right around there. But yeah, it was just

162
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: there's there's nothing else going through my head. It's just draining. Yeah. Time, Well,

163
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: we're we're fortunate we're able to pick you off before

00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: welcome to the Final Drive presented by Mercury and Shirts

172
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: with Mike Davis interception in his return back. Man, Congratulations,

173
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: how was it today? Man? It's pretty good. Uh. You know,

174
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: obviously Dolphins came out swinging, UM and they're owing three.

175
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: But doesn't mean they won't come out swinging. He come

176
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: out swing. He give us their best punches. But see

177
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: if you get as a group and who came out

178
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: and we executed. We talked about it all week, just

179
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: the second half finishing games. You guys held them to

180
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: thirty six yards in the second half and zero points.

181
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: That must have been a point in emphasis this week, right, Yeah,

182
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: has been use obviously, you know we always started fast

183
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: and the first happening in the second if we're always

184
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: deteriorate um. But throughout their pro practice Wednesday and Thursday

185
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: on Friday, we're always focusing on finishing, the focusing, fanishing,

186
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: run to the ball all the time. Uh, not allowing

187
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: the scott team to cash the ball. So that was

188
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: the main emphasis this week. And you know he showed

189
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: up like I mean, it was parading. Preparation came out.

190
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: It's hot, it's hot? Is it hot? Sweater right now?

191
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Look at this. It's ridiculous the humidity. How did you

192
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: guys prepare You can't really prepare for this. No, I

193
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: don't think you do. Just hydra that was a man

194
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: his main emphasis. Hydria hydrate, um, that's the only way

195
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: you compare for it. What was it like for you

196
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks getting hurt in week one

197
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: and working your way back to full strength obviously because

198
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: I got hurt in the furzy defensive series against the Colds,

199
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: and then having you just watched, uh, I mean just

200
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: watch the team go out there play every week every

201
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: week and it was just hard. You just the training camp,

202
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, the training camp, the preseason, everything you put

203
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: into it for that to happen a week one, but

204
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: but also made it's the perseverest part of it to

205
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: come back and deliver for your team today. I appreciate it,

206
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, um, oh, it was hard, but I mean

207
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: I was just grounding was immensous and it was a

208
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: mental game for me, signing the sidelines, watching them and

209
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: watching a young boy face on execurity ball out. But

210
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean I always wanted to be out there and

211
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: then not coming back. I mean I was like, you know,

212
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: it's my time to shine. I mean for a day

213
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: back walk me through that interception. That felt good. I

214
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: know it felt good. I was. I was kind of

215
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: comforted too. Came off receiver a little early and I

216
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: guess I bade him a little bit. He threw it

217
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: and in my mind I was like, wow, like I

218
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: can't I mean, if I can't be this close to

219
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: me and so I jumped out for it and I

220
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: have to make sure I grabbed that pit before I

221
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: stepped out of balance. That's great. Yeah, you know the

222
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: second that there's been so many injuries early on for

223
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: this team, what does this say about this group that

224
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, if the next guy comes up, you know,

225
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: Brandon comes in for you. You had a young guy

226
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: and team or in the secondary. Now I did get

227
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: in valuable reps and then helping this team win. We're fighters.

228
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Oh you know, you know what I mean, we go

229
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: down swing, we lose, we go down screinging. That's where

230
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: we are. I guess the whole Charge team. We're all fighters.

231
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: That's the way I can describe me. We're fighters. Two

232
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: and two through the first quarter of the season. Coach

233
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: only likes to break this thing down the quarters. Probably

234
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: not happy with it, but it's something to build off up. Now.

235
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: It is obviously definitely not happy. We should definitely be

236
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: four no um. I mean, but it's a coulding block.

237
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: So now we should keep going, keep going, keep going,

238
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: and keep building. But I don't think for you. A

239
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: couple of home games coming up against the division rival

240
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: and the Broncos and get the Steelers. I know we

241
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: just ended this one, and I'm sure you guys are

242
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna get right back in the lab on Monday and

243
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: get ready for Denver. Yeah we are, we are, we are.

244
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: But um, anyway, Miami games over now now into the

245
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: next game onto the Bronco. So now we hope you

246
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: come back and have a have a show out on

247
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: a one game day. Flights are a little bit better

248
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: when you get a w right, it's a lot better.

249
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: It's gonna be happy, I mean, but yeah, awesome. I

250
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: appreciate your time, and you're stoping by keeping as we

251
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: get on the bus, Matt money Smith walking by big

252
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: Win money Yeah, I take I want, I want to

253
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: take away. As we wrapped this up, Matt money Smith

254
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: with a takeaway. My takeaway and seeing this is weird

255
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: because you get players all around you, right, but to

256
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: some degree are they all gone? You gotta be really long.

257
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, how about it, just because that yours he

258
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: just he just joined. It's ridiculous. I mean, it's just

259
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: it's good. The guy doesn't even punt today. He's your

260
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: punter and punt. Yeah, and he's responsible for twelve points,

261
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: including career long inconsecutive order forty four, five fifty one,

262
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: all new career longs for him. Um. Pun not intended

263
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: and it's just hunted. There you go. Verrett Nessy, that's

264
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: a good pun. Punt not intended. Um. So yeah, it's

265
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: just I don't think that can be minimized. You never

266
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: really talk about special teams, and I think to have

267
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: that in position, um of an injured Mike Batchley, it's

268
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: just crazy. That was big en. Also, I think just

269
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: the adjustments that were made in the second half defensively,

270
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, to put the pressure on Rosen to figure

271
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: out what was going on because they were throwing a

272
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: lot at him. Three tight end sets they were in

273
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: thirteen almost the entire game, and there's a ton of

274
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: pre snap and there's backwards passes and reverses and you know,

275
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: and you knew they were going to do that. Um

276
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: So I think to overcome all of that as well

277
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: is a credit to Gus and the defensive staff and

278
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: the way they were able to button that thing up

279
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: in third. I talked to you on Thursday. I'll just

280
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: play four quarters, right ye, zero points thirty six net

281
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: yards in the second half for the Dolphins, and the

282
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: defense only had to play three because of the longest

283
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: drive in Charger history that te minutes thirty three seconds.

284
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: The entire third quarter was that one drive that only

285
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: covered sixty six yards net because of the penalties. So

286
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: there you go, all right, Money stopping by, You know,

287
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: we go this is fun. We should have no plan

288
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: for these podcasts. They just have people walk by, you know,

289
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: Kilong stepping in. Mike Davis, Now met Money Smith. Money.

290
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: We'll see you on the bus, buddy. All right, man,

291
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: all right, Haley, any any closing thoughts as we get

292
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: out of here. I just think it's great to be

293
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: back to five hundred at the first quarter of the season.

294
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: I think that's huge for this team. I think it's

295
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: today I'd say was a confidence builder in that sense,

296
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: especially with what happened in the second half, that they

297
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: were able to do things that they hadn't done the

298
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: last two weeks. And I think, I just think that's

299
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: great and we'll keep it rolling, you know, given the

300
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: injuries though, we'll see how they handled those, but they

301
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: handled it today. Yeah, a lot of injuries and we'll

302
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: hear more from coach Lynn on Monday. A battle out

303
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: of that, and I agree with you. I think the

304
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: second half, specifically to hold that Dolphins team to zero

305
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,400
