I felt like I was kind 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 5: of robotic and you know, not just not not not 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 5: playing like myself.

How I know 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 5: how to play football? 26 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 3: What do you say, thinking less? 27 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 6: What do you think was causing you to think so much? 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 3: Think much? 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 5: You know, coaching, I think. But you know, at the 30 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 5: end of the day, it makes it. You know, they're 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 5: doing their job when they're giving me, you know what 32 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 5: to look at when the game comes, it's you know, 33 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 5: it's it's it's time to play free at that point. 34 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 5: So you know, just thinking less and you know, playing more. 35 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 4: Oh boy, oh boy, the coaching, that's not working right. 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 4: But then the Bears went out to practice JP after 37 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 4: all of the chaos, after all of us were like, 38 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 4: what is justin Feel's doing. 39 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: You just rolled Luke gettius Oci under the bus and. 40 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: Then did this rarity as he reconvened the me in 41 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 4: the locker room post practice. 42 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: You guys' jobs are to get clicked. 43 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 7: So it's like when you take my quote out of context, 44 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 7: when you just say that, if you paint the picture 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 7: on the inside out, like y'all are trying to split 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 7: us up as a team at I'm not blaming anything 47 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 7: on the coaches. I'm never gonna blame anything on the coaches, 48 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 7: never gonna blame anything. 49 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: On my teammates. 50 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 7: I will take every whatever happens in the game, I 51 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 7: would take all the blame. 52 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 3: I don't care it's a drop pass, it should have 53 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: been a pass. 54 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 2: Put it on me. I need to play better. 55 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: That's it. 56 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 7: Point blame if y'all that's what I should have said 57 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 7: in the first place. 58 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: A whole lot to unpack here, JP, a whole lot. 59 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: And just to add to a general manager, Ryan Poles 60 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 4: came out Thursday and said, there's not one person in 61 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: the building, including the coaches, that think Justin Fields is 62 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: finger pointing. But let's take this from the top. The 63 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: initial thing. Look, we've seen Justin Fields. He has been 64 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: a erratic. 65 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: He is sometimes look. 66 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 4: Fantastic, other times just looked completely lost. 67 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: And when you hear the comments. 68 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 4: Too much information, too much going on, it could be 69 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: coaching take us, take us where your thoughts went, because 70 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 4: there is a lot to analyze and decompress here. 71 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Steve the biggest part that I got 72 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: after that initial comment, and everybody just really clips that 73 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: first part off, right. I think coaching send that tweet out. 74 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: Send that tweet right away, and then we'll let Twitter explode. 75 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: I think later in the press conference when he was 76 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: talking about I'm trying to process so much information and 77 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to simplify it in my head. To me, 78 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: that actually tells me he is taking the coaching right 79 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: because he's listening to all of this and he's trying 80 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: to process all of it. So to me, some people said, well, 81 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: he doesn't like the coaching, he's not coachable. I don't 82 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: think that's the case, because it sounds like he feels 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: overloaded to where he is taking all of this information, 84 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: and I think that's the part that he thinks is 85 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: not allowing him to play extremely fast on Sunday, because 86 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: you're right, we've seen him play really really good football 87 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: at times, and we've seen times where you're just wondering. 88 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: We'll talk to Brian Baldinger later in the show about 89 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: some of those plays that make you scratch your head. 90 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: Steve. 91 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: I think Ryan Poles on Thursday when he said, I 92 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: think Justin's trying to find that balance between last year 93 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: when we had a subpar lineup and a subpar roster 94 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: where he had to put this team on his back 95 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: at times and carry us. And now we may have 96 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: a better roster. We'd like him to play from the pocket, 97 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: do some more things like a quarterback. He's trying to 98 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: find that balance between the two. I think this is 99 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: all going on in Justin Field's head because he's trying 100 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: to grow in an aspect, but it's not actually clicking 101 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: early on. 102 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, clearly something was lost in translation. 103 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 4: Not even so much with his message to the media, 104 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 4: but what's going on with lu Getzy, his play caller, 105 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 4: And that's where the communication probably should have said. You know, 106 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: he should have said, coach, you know, look, there's a 107 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 4: lot going on here. 108 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: Right and Luke getsy. He also spoke on Thursday. 109 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: He didn't come out and go Sean Payton say, you 110 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 4: know what, we're gonna work on some things to simplify it, 111 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: because maybe we are overloading him. 112 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: Maybe there are too many voices in his head. So 113 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 3: they still have some things to absolutely break through. 114 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: But whenever a player comes out and talks about coaching. 115 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 4: The bigger picture of this right now is this Bears 116 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: offense better come out and play well because Luke Getzy 117 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: automatically is gonna. 118 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, they got the Chiefs, right. 119 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 4: They have the Chiefs this Sunday, So we have to 120 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: come out and ball out, right, we got we got 121 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 4: this guy to compare to Patrick Mahomes. 122 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: On the other side, our offense has to come. 123 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 4: Out and look good against the defense that's played really 124 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: well thus far. But again, when you come out and 125 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 4: you start cigning your coaches and you are the projected 126 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 4: franchise quarterback, that makes the coach say, well, honey, you 127 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: know this house we like here. We may we may 128 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 4: want to you know, we may be in a situation 129 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 4: where we might not be here next year, and then 130 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 4: whoever might come in might also have to say, like, well, 131 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 4: you know, we've got this quarterback, got one coach, let go. 132 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 4: I've got to find a way to make it happen, 133 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: because if they're committed to him, they're not committed to 134 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 4: us JP all right. 135 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: Also, on another note. 136 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: Since we're talking about quarterbacks, especially mobile quarterbacks learning a 137 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: new system, we have seen Lamar Jackson come under with 138 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 4: Todd Monkin the new offensive coordinator, and in two. 139 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: Games look really really good. 140 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: And also James by virtue of what happened Monday night, 141 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 4: the Ravens look like They're in a really good position 142 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 4: to jump out in the AFC North early on. 143 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: This is steve the toughest division in the NFL. And 144 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: when you start too and zero and you look at 145 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the teams in the division in what 146 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: they're dealing with. We saw the devastating injury to Nick 147 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: Chubb on an offense that is based around his running 148 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: game is arguably the best I'll do. I'll lose arguably 149 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: the best running back in all of football. That changes 150 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: things for Cleveland. We know Cincinnati is zero and two, 151 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: oh by the way, oh and two in the division 152 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: and Joe Burrows still dealing with the calf injury to 153 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: When I talk to people in Cincinnati, they're not sure 154 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: how long that is going to. 155 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: Continue to nag him. 156 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: And this is still very early in Kenny Pickett's career 157 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback. So to jump out to a 158 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: zero and get that win against Cincinnati, And now that 159 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: you see this offense built the way it's built, we 160 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: know that it is built off of the run in 161 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: the past, and we know that it's been built off 162 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: of Mark Andrews. He has had a larger percentage of 163 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: any team in the NFL se even terms of a 164 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: tight end catching the largest percentage of their catches, their yards, 165 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: their receiving touchdowns. Now he has receivers on the outside 166 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: to help him. When I had a chance to talk 167 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: to him, every receiver goes, oh, great tight end helps 168 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: me out on the outside. 169 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: Flip it. 170 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: Great receivers in the outside make life even easier for 171 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: a better tight end in the middle to maybe one 172 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: of the best tight ends in football play even better. 173 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: And the part that jumps out at me the most 174 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: is this, with this passing game with more weapons, will 175 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: we see a healthier Lamar Jackson down the stretch if 176 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: they can play in this style of offense throwing the 177 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: football as accurately as he had in Injuries at the 178 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: end of the season have been an issue for Lamar 179 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: Jackson and the Ravens. Could this style of play there 180 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: in now Steve help them to have a healthier Lamar 181 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: Jackson at the end of the year if they're rolling this. 182 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: Early, Yeah, I mean it really could. 183 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 4: And look in the fact that they're rolling with a 184 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: lot two starting offensive linemen and they're starting running back JK. 185 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 3: Dobbins. That's got to be super encouraging. But JP just. 186 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 4: To bring it back because we're talking quarterbacks in this division. 187 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 4: To Shaun Watson, he has got more. 188 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 3: Pressure than ever. I mean, their contract is what it 189 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: is about Nick Chubb. He really has to deliver. 190 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: Especially with a team like the Ravens figuring it out 191 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 4: pretty quickly and evolving and the Browns looking like they're 192 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: somewhat stuck in mud a little bit, especially with not 193 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 4: having Nick Chubb. 194 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: That's huge. 195 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: And we know their defense is going to be better 196 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: than it was a season ago now that Jim Schwartz 197 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: is running that group. But you mentioned the injuries, and 198 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: you're right, Tyler Linderbaum their center, and Ronnie Staley, they're 199 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 1: going to be coming back. They didn't play a game 200 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: yet with Marlon Humphrey their number one on corner they 201 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: haven't played a game with yet, and their star safety, 202 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: and Marcus Williams has the peck injury. He is not 203 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: going to be done for the season. Might have to play. 204 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: You talk to me about it. Maybe with that harness 205 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of the field. But he's 206 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: head of the communication for this Ravens defense. And Juno 207 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: Stone comes in and plays in his place and plays great. 208 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: They haven't been healthy but they've been rolling early too. 209 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: And oh and that might give them a great advantage 210 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: early on in the toughest division in all of football. 211 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: There's another division. How about the NFC East Steve that 212 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: has three teams sitting at two and oh, one of 213 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: them being the Dallas Cowboys. 214 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: Listen to this, Hey, we can't want a message. 215 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 8: It's Captain Chew and we don't. 216 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: Capture the Cowboys special team is the first start here? 217 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 3: What perfect row here by Dad Prescott? 218 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: Right Martins, Martin's got it. 219 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 5: Right. 220 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: You do not run out of pools the champaign. 221 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard walked the dog and scoring his second touchdown 222 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: of the night. The Cowboys win to shut out. 223 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: That was a beating, all right. 224 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: That was the video of the Cowboys Week one. 225 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 4: They come back week two against the Jets and they 226 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: stake further ownership in the state of New Jersey and 227 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 4: beat them thirty to ten. 228 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 3: JP. 229 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 4: They're allowing this defense five points a game, all right, 230 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 4: five points a. 231 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: Game out of the gate. 232 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 4: Oh and they've got the Arizona Cardinals this week. 233 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: Don't you think it's funny? We spent all off season. 234 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 4: On DAK is gonna be this DAK can't play those 235 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 4: too many interceptions. Yet the first two weeks of the season, 236 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 4: we're not talking about Dak. 237 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 3: We're talking about the side of the ball that starts 238 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 3: with D. 239 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: It starts with D and d Ware also told us 240 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: on this show that if Micah Parsons has the type 241 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: of season this season and several of them moving forward, 242 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna break d ware all time Cowboys sack record. 243 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: And he said, if this d plays like this on 244 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: this show, the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl. 245 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. When I took to Jets coaches after this 246 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: game during the week and then went over the film, 247 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: they said, Steve, he just did whatever he wanted to 248 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: on the field, like he could do whatever he wanted 249 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: to do and attack us however he wanted. He had 250 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: four tackles, three of them for a loss, two sacks, 251 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: four quarterback hits, a pass defense to forced fumble, a 252 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: fumble recovery. He really, sir, Popcorn, he did everything in 253 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: this entire game. And he's kind of the lynchpin of 254 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: this entire defense that is so deep, able to pressure 255 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: you from a variety of spots. And now that Dan 256 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: Quinn remember pull his name out of head coaching searches 257 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: each of the last two years been able to mold 258 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: this defense into exactly what he has wanted with a 259 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: rush and cover aspect to it. Don't forget Stefan gilmourrise 260 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: your number two corner Like this team is deep an 261 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: ability to do a lot of different things to you. 262 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: As a full defense, this might be the group that 263 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: carries him. And we'll see what Dak does playing second 264 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: fiddle in a sense to making sure that nothing hurts 265 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: this team in a sense changing their style offensively a 266 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: little bit. 267 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, and look, JP, I love this defense, 268 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 4: I love the personnel, I love their depth, I love 269 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 4: what they're doing. But can we really sit here and 270 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 4: say they're the bosses? Because again they played the Giants 271 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 4: forty to nothing, they played the Jets, they played Arizona 272 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: this week, and then they played New. 273 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: England in Week four? Right? This always continue this trend 274 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: for too more? 275 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 4: Oh well, that's when things get really interesting, right, don't 276 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 4: they have the run. 277 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 3: Of the Niners, the Chargers, the Rams. 278 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 4: There's another one in there, another offensive team that we're 279 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 4: going to figure out. 280 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 3: I think the Eagles are in the mix as well. 281 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 4: So this is where We're really going to find out 282 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 4: about the defense, but they have two more games to 283 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 4: solidify themselves even further before staking their claim, possibly on 284 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 4: top of the NFC East, say Pe, you know. 285 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: Who's getting it done. The Miami Dolphins are getting it done. 286 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 4: And coming up next, Cameron Wolf is going to say 287 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 4: the key reason why has everything to do with the 288 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 4: backfield in motion. 289 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 2: Here on the NFL. 290 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: Report, our back of the NFL Report. 291 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 4: We're getting ready to head into Week three of the 292 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 4: NFL season. Steve White, James Palmer now joined by Cameron 293 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 4: Wolf and Cameron the Miami Dolphins. Their offense looks more 294 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: dynamic than ever the Tua Tyreek connection. Besides familiarity, what's 295 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: kind of the secret sauce brewing between these two? 296 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 6: Yes, Steve, they have the quickest time to throw and 297 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 6: the largest yards per attempt, which those are two stats 298 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 6: that don't typically go together. They're getting the ball quick 299 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 6: and they're throwing it deep and really a key core 300 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 6: that has been the Dolphins motion, and this week I 301 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 6: wanted to dive a little deeper into what makes that 302 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 6: motion go. And when you look at some of the 303 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 6: the elements they do, they adjust to what the defenses 304 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 6: give them the motion stuff is not new. They did 305 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 6: it a bunch last year, but this year teams crowded 306 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 6: the middle of the field where Tua loves to throw 307 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 6: the ball, and you've seen them, particularly with Tyreek Hill, 308 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 6: have a wheel route on the back of it. They've 309 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 6: had a short motion on the back of it. Anything 310 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 6: to get Tyreek in motion. And Frank Smith, their offensive coordinator, 311 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 6: told me every single motion they do has a purpose 312 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 6: and it's not like a lot of teams where they 313 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 6: do it as window dressing or to show if his 314 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 6: manners own, he says, no, we do things directly based 315 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 6: off of how they react to the motion. For example, 316 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 6: if their defense will crowd the middle of the field, 317 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 6: we'll throw that real wheel route on the back of things. 318 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 6: And so I think that's been a huge key to 319 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 6: while the Dolphins have been so successful. Tua also told 320 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 6: me they see the chaos on the field. They force 321 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 6: defenses to communicate to extreme and it makes mistakes and 322 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 6: they take advantage of it. 323 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: Well, love cam is the way they use motion is 324 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: it's not a guy just you know, running across the field. 325 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: Do you remember a good junior and Jerry Maguire coming 326 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: across with the two hands up, just. 327 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: Like real slow across the back. No. 328 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean Tyreek Hill is moving in a lot of 329 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: these motions and he is really really moving. And Sean 330 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: Payton said an interesting thing this week when he stated 331 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: one of them underrated aspects that makes Tyreek Hill so 332 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: dynamic is his stamina. He can run for days and 333 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: this is kind of adding to it in a sense. 334 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: But how do they go about all of this work 335 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: within motion? 336 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: You talk about how they do it differently, what do 337 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: they do differently during the week to allow them to 338 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: have this success though. 339 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, James, there's a lot of behind the scenes elements, 340 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 6: including their wide receivers and their running backs. Having specific 341 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 6: elements of their meeting focus solely on motion, they will 342 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 6: just have those still position groups who come together and say, hey, 343 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 6: these are elements that we want to focus on this week. 344 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 6: We're going to do a lot of short motion and 345 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 6: so we're going to spend fifteen to twenty minutes of 346 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 6: this meeting just focused on this motion and getting it 347 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 6: right because there are a lot of details that we 348 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 6: may not see in the finished product. I was talking 349 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 6: to Eric Judisville earlier today and somebody mentions to him 350 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 6: that it looks like the CFL with Tyreek Hill running, 351 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 6: and he's like, wait, wait, wait, it's not the CFL 352 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 6: because the CFL they move forward. 353 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 3: That's against the rules. 354 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 6: We follow the rules here, right, and so the rules 355 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 6: are element here because Tyreek's running fast across the field, 356 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 6: but he has to be careful not to go forward. 357 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: And so that's where the. 358 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 6: Track element comes in. They have a bunch of track 359 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 6: news on this team, including Tyreek and it's almost like 360 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 6: he's running a curve. He's running horizontal at line of 361 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 6: scrimmage and once the snap hit he goes vertical. And 362 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 6: it's hard enough to cover Tyreek Hill when he's stationary. 363 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 6: Imagine what it's like for defenders when he's already on 364 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 6: go fifteen sixteen miles per hour going towards the field. 365 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 4: Well, and Cam, there's also with this thing too, right, 366 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel comes from the Shanahan scheme. So when you 367 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 4: have someone like Tyreek Hill, right, they do two versions 368 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: of their emotions too, well, several, but you've got the 369 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 4: straight line across the center's butt all the way through 370 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 4: and then sometimes he bows behind the quarterback, especially if 371 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 4: Tua is in pistol. So what's the first thing the 372 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 4: defense is gonna guard against, especially someone that fast that 373 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 4: is the jet. 374 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 3: Sweep or when he does the bow, the quick toss 375 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 3: or the quick screen. 376 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 4: So the first thing that edge defender has to do 377 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 4: is guard the outside and that will be a tell 378 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: because if they don't, they're gonna pop that ball out there. 379 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 4: And if they do, then that's when the middle of 380 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 4: the field opens up because there's all kinds of strategic 381 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 4: ways with the ways they use their motion, whether it's 382 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 4: that straightway or kind of that Boeing way which leads 383 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 4: to the CFL kind of eye candy. 384 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we cheating camp, They're trying. They're not cheating. 385 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: They're not cheating. 386 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 6: But I will tell you me and you were talking 387 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 6: about this, James. It kind of reminds me of Dwan 388 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 6: Taylor with the with the Chiefs earlier this year. 389 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 3: Were right. 390 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 6: On the line of what you're supposed to do. And 391 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 6: that's where that meetings and the practice comes in mind. 392 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 6: You have to do it right so that it's so 393 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 6: close that the rest won't call it, but that you 394 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 6: use every advantage. The coaches have told me all week 395 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 6: that is our advantage. So we're not going to give 396 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 6: you the secret sauce of how we teach them and why. 397 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 6: You know why the intricacies are so important, But these 398 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 6: guys are taught specifically when they can start to go 399 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 6: forward and it is on the line, James, it is. 400 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: I love it, camp I love it. Good stuff, but 401 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 2: good stuff. 402 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: See on TV on Sunday down there for Broncos and 403 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: Dolphins on NFL Network. 404 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 2: See you, buddy. 405 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: We're going to bring in somebody that was there for 406 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: the first time we saw this Dolphins offense explode, and 407 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: that's Bridget Conon, who was there for that Chargers Dolphins game. 408 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: It's interesting, Bridget. We know what Justin Herbert can do. 409 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: I saw this stat today that. 410 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 2: Blew my mind. 411 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: There the first team, Steve in the history of the 412 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: NFL to start zero to two with more than fifty 413 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: points scored and zero giveaways. 414 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: Has never happened in the NFL. 415 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: For a team to do that offensively, Bridget, what is 416 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: going on on the other side the ball? 417 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, James, what's the problem. It's the defense. There's so 418 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 9: many layers to this. Let's get into it. The Chargers 419 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 9: defense is the worst in total defense right now, right 420 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 9: they've given up the most explosive plays of anybody. But 421 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 9: let's talk about this. I've covered this team for a 422 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 9: couple of seasons. Now they bring in Brandon Staley, who 423 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 9: is said to be this defensive guru. They signed Khalil Mack, 424 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 9: they signed J. Jackson. The Chargers are the only team 425 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 9: that have allocated more than one hundred million dollars of 426 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 9: twenty twenty three cap space to their defense, and taking 427 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 9: that further, they've allocated the third most cap space this 428 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 9: season to their secondary And that's the big issue. Right 429 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 9: They finally seem like the defensive line has started to 430 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 9: figure it out that was an issue last season with 431 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 9: all these injuries. They've stopped the run better this season 432 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 9: so far than last season. But they have four guys 433 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 9: that are rotating in and out of corner positions. Michael Davis, J. C. Jackson, 434 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 9: Jasir Taylor, and Asante Samuel Junior. Brandon Saley. He did 435 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 9: say yesterday that Jasir Taylor is now the new starter 436 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 9: at Star. But you have those three other guys rotating 437 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 9: in and out of that corner spot, you can't get confident, 438 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 9: you can't get a rhythm down. So I don't really 439 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 9: know what the plan is for Brandon Staley. You guys, 440 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 9: how I wonder if a little bit of this is 441 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 9: about j C. Jackson, Right, You signed this guy to 442 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 9: a five year deal eighty two million dollars. He gets 443 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 9: hurt or has ankle surgery at the beginning of the 444 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 9: last season, plays a couple of games, then has that 445 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 9: knee injury. Now this whole offseason is okay. JC Jackson's 446 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 9: got to get back better and be smarter, be faster. 447 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 9: He's not. And how much are they trying to make 448 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 9: that work versus just using Michael Davis and a Sante 449 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 9: Samuel Junior. 450 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 3: Well, that's an issue. 451 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 4: I mean, if you've got a player out there who 452 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: can't go and it's harming his team, and the fact 453 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 4: that they're trying to get him out there to justify 454 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 4: his signing, that's an issue. I don't know if that's 455 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: necessarily the case. I mean, could be the way that 456 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 4: they've schemed these teams, But the fact that they've given 457 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 4: up six pass plays for more than thirty yards, that's 458 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 4: second most in the NFL. That's something that they have 459 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 4: to fix because now teams are gonna start going over 460 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: the top. 461 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 3: Like you said, Bridget. 462 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 4: Some things upfront stopping the run have gotten better, but 463 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 4: they're not getting to the quarterback as much either. 464 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 3: So the fact that the quarterback. 465 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 4: Is having more time to sit back there and pat 466 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 4: the ball goes to show you that the coverage and 467 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 4: the rush up front aren't the issue. 468 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 3: And so this is another week. 469 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 4: They're playing in Minnesota Vikings this week, Bridget. Justin Jefferson 470 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 4: is the best wide receiver in the NFL, arguably other 471 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 4: than Tyreek Hill. What can they do to try to 472 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 4: keep Justin Jefferson from adding to those explosive pass plays. 473 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 9: I think it's gonna come with stability, and Derwin James 474 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 9: was asked about it. I mean a lot of these 475 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 9: guys were asked. I was in the locker room yesterday 476 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 9: about rotating in and out, and of course they're giving 477 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 9: us the answer like, oh no, I think because you know, 478 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 9: it's a good thing because we have depth and it 479 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 9: guys get fresh legs. But Michael Davis was more honest 480 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 9: Sunday after the game and said, I can't get in 481 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 9: a rhythm when I'm coming. You know, you're playing drives 482 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 9: and then you're out your bench for a little bit 483 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 9: and then you're coming back in and Darwin James was 484 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 9: asked about this yesterday, he kind of gave a smirk 485 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 9: and was like, we're figuring it out, so I anticipate 486 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 9: that they're gonna have more stability. And also this week 487 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 9: in practice, they've kind of been taking this scheme out 488 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 9: of it and getting back to the technique because something 489 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 9: isn't working. Something has to change, and whether whatever they're 490 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 9: doing is too complex for these players to maybe grasp 491 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 9: this early on in the season. They got to make 492 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 9: it a little simpler for them, right until they can 493 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 9: just get back to the basics and try and stop 494 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 9: some of these receivers, because yeah, it's Justin Jefferson this week, 495 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 9: then it's DeVante Adams next week.

Also, 779 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 4: Cowboys corner Trey Diggs was seeing on crutches after practice Thursday. 780 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 3: He's scheduled to have an MRI exam. 781 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 4: We'll be keeping an eye on his availability for Sunday 782 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 4: as well. 783 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hope he's all right.

You're coming out with these Baldi breakdowns. 789 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: I watch them all and I'm not the only person 790 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: that watched the one on Justin Fields, Baldi. I mean, 791 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: it's got millions of views already. Steve and I talked 792 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: at length about Fields in the start of this show. 793 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: I need your take to take this a step further. 794 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: I guess my biggest question, Baldi is when you see this, 795 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: is it correctible or is it not correctable. 796 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 11: It's correctable, James, It's cricticable because all you have to 797 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 11: do is see the evidence of the opening drive, six plays, 798 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 11: seventy five yards touchdown. You know DJ Moore, Chase Claypool 799 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 11: in the end zone. You know fourth quarter eight plagues 800 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 11: ninety yards right down the field. 801 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 2: So it's correctable. 802 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 11: But what frustrated me and why I posted the video 803 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 11: was I just didn't understand look, that's the very end 804 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 11: of the game. 805 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 8: Shack Beart jumped up from the screen. That stuff can happen. 806 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 11: But what frustrated me he was, what is he What 807 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 11: doesn't he see when he's got great protection and the 808 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 11: Tampa Bay Buccaneers blow the protection and they're basically just 809 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 11: scheming to stop him from running and he should make 810 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 11: the throw because he can make the throw. And that's 811 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 11: what frustrated me. He took seven sacks the other day. 812 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 11: Three of them were on justin field, just holding the 813 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 11: ball and not really knowing what he was looking at. 814 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 11: I believe it's correctable, and I don't think it's just 815 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 11: I'm just gonna play my own style. Like this thing is. 816 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 11: This is precision offense. It's got to be precise. You know, 817 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 11: the defense dictates where you go with the ball, and 818 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 11: not every play that anybody ever calls is the perfect play. 819 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 11: Sometimes you got to make the play right. Sometimes you've 820 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 11: got to fix it at the line of scrimmage. I mean, 821 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 11: all those things are in the hands of a quarterback. 822 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 11: And so I've seen plenty of evidence of justin reading 823 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 11: the field, scanning the field, making the right throw, hitting 824 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 11: Dj Moore time after time, on Sunday with great throws. 825 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 11: We just have to see it more consistently, and we 826 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 11: can't see the freezing of the process behind the line 827 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,760 Speaker 11: of spirits like we saw a couple times. 828 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, balldly, real quick. 829 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 4: I mean just your experience as a player. You know, 830 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 4: you've been with a lot of different quarterbacks. He said 831 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 4: that there's sometimes just too much information and sometimes I 832 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 4: have to play off my instincts. 833 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 3: To go back to your point about instincts. 834 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 4: Can a quarterback get overloaded trying to process things instead 835 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 4: of being instinctial and just getting the ball out from 836 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 4: what he sees. 837 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 11: Oh, without a doubt, Steve, without a doubt. I've seen 838 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 11: plenty of quarterbacks that have had too many voices in 839 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 11: his ear, too many suggestions, too many coaching points. There's 840 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 11: no question it can be an overcoached position. But I 841 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 11: but you know, I see receivers that look awfully frustrated, 842 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 11: you know, when they get their hand in the air 843 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 11: like I'm open. Okay, not always, but sometimes and then 844 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 11: I'm watching like DJ Moore in the middle of the 845 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 11: field give a little clap like let's go, let's let's 846 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 11: get me the ball all And so you know, I 847 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 11: think it's you know, it's it's it's uh, it's it's 848 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 11: a collaboration really amongst players, the coaches and and and 849 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 11: justin and it's it's it's correctable. 850 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 3: It just is. 851 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 11: And so uh, if he feels like he needs to 852 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 11: kind of free himself up from a lot of people 853 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 11: in's ear or the coaching points, all right, but you 854 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 11: can't get too far away from design to plays and 855 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 11: where the ball should go and what the defense is 856 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 11: doing and understanding what the defense is going to dictate 857 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 11: where you go with the balls. 858 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 2: Agression right, go ahead. 859 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say real quick, but there's a 860 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: progression of angry receivers. First there's the hand up, then 861 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: there's the hand wave, and then when they start jumping 862 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: that's when you know, there's massive frustrations that when they 863 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: when they start jumping up and down, that's that's that's 864 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: when they got to the X level. 865 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 4: You know this, Sunday, Hey and Bald, you know this. 866 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 4: No one could show more frustration than good old Joe 867 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 4: Horn when he. 868 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 3: Wasn't getting the ball real quick. 869 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 2: So let's move. 870 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 4: We're gonna move on where there's where there's no frustration 871 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 4: except for by us because you've got this question, Mark Baldi, 872 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 4: why aren't more teams following the Philadelphia Eagles push push 873 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 4: on short yardage situations where they surround the quarterback in 874 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 4: the cocoon and just push forward. 875 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 11: You know, Steve, I posted something last year when the 876 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 11: Eagles started perfecting this, and I said, every not just 877 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 11: the NFL, college, high school, like everybody should do this. 878 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 11: The rules legal We talked about it in the seminar 879 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 11: of the summer of what how they're officiating the play. 880 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 11: Not many people, not many quarterbacks get deadaloe six one 881 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 11: hundred and fifty pounds like Jalen Hurts does. Now, that 882 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 11: has that kind of power. But I was in Jacksonville 883 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 11: last year. Last week, Steve against Kansas City, first and 884 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 11: goal at the one, they lost four plays on a 885 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 11: silly pitch. On the first play, they never got the 886 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 11: Baldi end zone. Iver Lawrence should be pushed into the 887 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 11: end zone, get some tight ends behind him, get a 888 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 11: running back behind him, and you know, follow Brandon Sheriff 889 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 11: at right guard, Luke fort Nert center and put the 890 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 11: ball on the end zone. Stop fooling around, like everybody 891 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 11: should be doing this right now. The rules are made 892 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 11: for it. Take advantage of the rule. I see too 893 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 11: many teams right now across the board, Steve in short 894 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 11: yards and goal line situations, trying to outthink. I see 895 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 11: teams on fourth and one at the goal lines are 896 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 11: throwing the ball third and one at the goal line, 897 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 11: like get get on with the toush push. 898 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 3: Just take advantage of the rule. 899 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: So boy, I want to follow up on that because 900 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: it was interesting quote from Andy Reid this season. Already 901 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: in this season going, I'm watching all of these short 902 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: yardage plays and teams are not very good across the 903 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: board and third and one and fourth and one, and 904 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: Andy Reid's mind, he said, you know there are actually 905 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: one of the teams that has struggled. 906 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 2: With it as well. 907 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: We know I was at the game when Patrick Mahomes 908 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 1: dislocates his kneecap. That's just not in Andy Reid's playbook 909 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: right now. But when you have I bring him up 910 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,760 Speaker 1: because when you have so many different creative offensive minds 911 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: across the league that can do so many different things 912 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: with their offense, when they see something that, as you're describing, 913 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: is so clear cut an advantage, do they just not 914 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 1: take advantage of it? Because of their personnel or they outthink. 915 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 11: Themselves day I'll take themselves, James. This is not this 916 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 11: is something honestly, that you can install on Friday and 917 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 11: operate on Sunday. It's just I mean, it is just 918 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 11: pack it in. You know, the quarterback gets it started, 919 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 11: he's he could give you the signal where he's going straight, right, left, 920 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 11: and then you just get behind him and you get 921 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 11: to keep the momentum going. Like it's just almost I've 922 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 11: talked to defensive coordinators James across the league, like how 923 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 11: difficult this thing is to stop, Like the only thing 924 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 11: you can do is get five guys to submarine below 925 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 11: the offensive lineman and get four guys coming over the top. 926 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 11: And honestly, it's not really a safe play diving over 927 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 11: the top of these piles to try and stop the quarterback. 928 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 11: You're just gonna get these midair collisions that you know, 929 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 11: somebody's probably gonna get hurt if you do it often enough. 930 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,760 Speaker 11: We know players, you know, don't have fear about that stuff, 931 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 11: but you know from the outside, there's a fear factor 932 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 11: flying over the top to try to stop this. But 933 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 11: it's a very difficult play to stop. And I just 934 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 11: don't understand why if you're Tennessee with King Henry, like, 935 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 11: let's just have him push Tannehill him behind, like you're 936 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 11: gonna get in the end zone, you're gonna get the 937 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 11: first down. 938 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, tight end Dallas got her to the eagle, said, 939 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: if you don't want us to do it, don't let 940 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: us have third and one or fourth and one. 941 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 2: Then we won't run the play. If you don't put 942 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 2: us in that situation. 943 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: Let's talk about you know, the Browns lose a back 944 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,959 Speaker 1: that there's probably not even a need for a push 945 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 1: push on a third and one with Nick Chubb if 946 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: he's in your backfield, what do you see now moving 947 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 1: forward with Jerome Ford kind of running that backfield and 948 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: they bring in Cream Hunt behind him, Baldy. 949 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 11: You know, Jerome Ford was a fifth round pick last 950 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 11: year from Cincinnati, but he started at Alabama, like that's 951 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 11: where he started his college career and transferred to Cincinnati. 952 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 11: He went to the finals with him. 953 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,360 Speaker 3: Like he's a talented back. 954 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 11: You saw him change direction right here and go you know, 955 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,439 Speaker 11: basically seventy yards got stopped right at the six inch line. 956 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 11: You see the speed, But I saw him The only 957 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 11: thing I would say, is he took a couple of 958 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 11: plays where he went backwards to go forwards like on 959 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 11: that one. Sometimes that doesn't always work. But he catches 960 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 11: the ball well out of the backfield like he does here. 961 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,840 Speaker 11: I'm just a little you know, Texas route hooked up 962 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 11: over the middle, but he pushes the pile like he 963 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 11: does here. 964 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 3: He runs with power. 965 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 11: I mean, I know they signed Kareem Hunt, but I 966 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,800 Speaker 11: would say Jerome Ford should certainly get an opportunity to 967 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 11: be the starting back right now in Cleveland. You know 968 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 11: that's Kevin Stefanski's MO. They want to run the ball, 969 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 11: play action, pass off it. Like the lineup front is 970 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 11: really good, especially with Dwan Jones at right tackle. Right now, 971 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 11: they're pretty good up front. So I would expect Jerome 972 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 11: Ford to continue to be the starter and Kareem Hunt 973 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 11: come in and be that change of baseback the way 974 00:44:58,600 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 11: he was with Nick Chubb. 975 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 4: For Yeah, I believe that Baldi because in the AFC North, 976 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 4: I mean, with the weather and everything, you've got to 977 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 4: have that type of slugger that we saw Ford show 978 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 4: that he was in that game. Speaking of the AFC North, 979 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 4: and I guess the AFC South baldly, you said, and 980 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 4: it's a game match up this weekend the Ravens and 981 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 4: the Colts that Anthony Richardson has a ton of Lamar 982 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 4: in him, and Lamar said the same, listen to this. 983 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 10: You want me to be honest? 984 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:27,919 Speaker 3: Right? 985 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 12: That made me feel old and I'm only twenty six. 986 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 12: Like comparing me himself at CAM it was like, I'm like, dang, 987 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,720 Speaker 12: compare yourself to me, and I'm still, you know, young, 988 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 12: But you know, I appreciate stuff like that. And I 989 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 12: did see him a couple of times in college. He 990 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 12: played phenomenon and as his first two games he has to. 991 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 3: Paldi. Richardson's look good in his first two starts. 992 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 4: I mean for a rookie, and you've done some great 993 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 4: breakdowns of him. What have you seen, especially as it 994 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,080 Speaker 4: is a kin to Lamar Jackson's. 995 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 11: Well, you know, he ran for two touchdowns in the 996 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 11: first six minutes of the game last week They're up 997 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 11: fourteen to nothing. I mean, like the design of what 998 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 11: Shane Stikeen is doing is beautiful. It's not what Jalen 999 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 11: Hurts has did. But there's an RPO game. I haven't 1000 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 11: seen him get flustered yet. Steve like I see a 1001 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 11: free hitter, I see a Lua Kwan coming right at 1002 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 11: him as a free hitter. In the first week against 1003 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 11: Jacksonville Man, he hit Josh downs like he'd been doing 1004 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 11: it for the last six years, like nothing looks like 1005 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 11: it surprises him, and he plays with incredible poise. I 1006 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 11: was so I was disappointed that he only played eighteen 1007 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 11: snaps last week because I loved him in Week one. 1008 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 11: I love the way he started last week. The concussions, 1009 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 11: the concussion Minshew played great. The Colts are. He's much 1010 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 11: better at this point than I ever imagined imagining him 1011 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 11: to be. Like he's He's played really, really well, and 1012 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,399 Speaker 11: I think there's a reason to be really optimistic going 1013 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 11: forward in Indianapolis. 1014 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 3: With Anthony Richardson, Yeah, have we. 1015 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 4: All the good stuff up right there as usual. We're 1016 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 4: going to see you next Thursday and on Sunday. We 1017 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:10,439 Speaker 4: might see more defensive trickery as we're seeing the two 1018 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 4: point stance become something used not just on the edges, 1019 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 4: but over the center and other places on the field. 1020 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 3: James Palmer at more on that. We're back here at 1021 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 3: the NFL Report. 1022 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the NFL Report. 1023 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: James Palmer Steve Whitch with you, and Steve say, isn't 1024 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: what you want to hear during a practice week. 1025 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 2: We're taping this on a Thursday. 1026 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 1: And Trayvon Diggs signs a big, almost one hundred million 1027 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: dollar contract in the off season, ends up suffering an 1028 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: ACL injury in practice, confirmed on the MRI by two 1029 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: of our insiders, and Rappaport and Tom Pelasero, a massive 1030 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,760 Speaker 1: blow to a Cowboys defense that now appears will probably 1031 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: lean even more heavily on that group up front to 1032 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 1: give a secondary that's now a little bit thin with 1033 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: one of the best corners in football a little less 1034 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: time than they're going to have to cover on the 1035 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 1: back end. 1036 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I did, b Look, the one thing the Cowboys 1037 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 4: do have a lot of depth, right, They have a 1038 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,359 Speaker 4: ton of depth in that secondary, But we know Tredy 1039 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 4: Diggs one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. 1040 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 3: But like you said, what they're doing up front helps 1041 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 3: on that back end. And you've done a little study. 1042 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 4: On some of the things the trends that the Cowboys 1043 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,839 Speaker 4: are showing that's helping this defense function as the number 1044 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 4: one defense in the NFL after two weeks. 1045 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 1: Stee, we have these rare athletes up front. I had 1046 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: a rare one a while ago when he played in Dallas. 1047 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: Was DeMarcus Ware Remember when he was on this show 1048 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 1: and he told us I'd have to change my game 1049 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: if I played in today's NFL. Well, we're seeing some 1050 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: of these guys with freak athletic ability, like Michael Parsons 1051 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 1: or Miles Garrett lining up over the center where they 1052 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 1: have a distinct advantage standing up. You saw Miles Garrett 1053 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,720 Speaker 1: crossing them up like AI trying to come and decide 1054 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: which side he's going to go to and keep the 1055 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: center guessing. It's reminded me of a conversation I had 1056 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: back with Jenemi in twenty eighteen when he lost some 1057 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 1: of that bend after his microfracture surgery and Romeo Crenell 1058 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: started lining him up almost Steve with a running start. 1059 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 1: He was a middle linebacker moving around finding those gaps 1060 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 1: in the front, and it makes it so difficult on 1061 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: the interior part of the defensive line. You saw Micah 1062 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: Parsons do it against the Jets, and what did it 1063 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 1: do with forced an interception? Because these guys can get 1064 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: there like that with their athletic ability. 1065 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 2: It's really really cool to watch. 1066 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, Jay, A lot of Eve's done that over the 1067 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 4: years to take advantage of favorable mismatches. We've got a 1068 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 4: favorable match right here with you and I and this 1069 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 4: edition of the NFL Report will see you on Monday 1070 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 4: after Week three.
