I feel good because I can always hang out 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.000 with you guys. But yeah, the thing I wanted to 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.080 ask you though, is do we have a favor what 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.560 are you? What are you guys favorite memories from the 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.480 first hundred episodes, So just some examples. We got Farmer 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.319 Fred segments, which are always fun. We got the Bakeoff, 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.679 we got basketball, we got the live show, we got 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.120 the podcast Awards, we got all sorts of stuff. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.600 I think my favorite is just Becauzax's Helby swore out 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.840 he was the best baker and this side. 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:18.560 Of the Mississippi. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.479 And to destroy him off the field with one something 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.880 that I like to do, I feel really good. And 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.440 to destroy him in front of a group of people, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:27.560 you know what I'm saying. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.640 Because the people who weren't at the event, like Zach 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.200 brought his girlfriend and then a bunch of her friends. 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.160 There was probably like seven people there for Zach and 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.840 Fred was deep being Fred and talking more mess than 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.840 just probably appropriate to some people he didn't know. And 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.760 then he won and then talked more mess afterwards. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.959 So yeah, so I enjoyed it. It had nothing to 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:46.640 do with football. 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.080 Mine's a toss up. It's either the field goal kicking 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:56.040 or the basketball. Both of them was free taking the ill. 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.640 I had a temperature. I know, the temps around. 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.680 Going in with anything that that Fred lost it it 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:03.360 was my favorite. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.080 But no, it's not because he lost. 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.720 It's because in the fashions how he talked about those 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.680 skills that he had, Like Fred said he played basketball 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.120 growing up. 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.960 Fred said he was a Division one basketball player. 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.480 When I watched him that, I felt, man, I was 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.560 out of shape. Now you want to rematch, I'm in 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.720 a lot better shape. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.680 The thing about you is like, I don't know what's real, 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.640 So like, are you actually a better shaved I'm. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.160 In better shape, look like I'm in better shocking. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.760 Dude, you look like on the show, you look like 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:30.600 that last. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:31.000 Time to me. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.720 No, I was listen after after Logan gave me the 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.360 basketball in the first time he played defense, and he 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.360 just seeks for just all over me, and like. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:42.799 Come on. It was too much, man. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:47.919 It was for me. The basketball thing was insane because 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:52.120 the whole time Friend's talking about I'm gonna be Steph. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:52.800 I'm just dropping butt. 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.280 And then and then it was it was like, I 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.080 think the thing that really stood out. You can watch it. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.680 It's on the internet someplace. I don't watch his Fred 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.919 after two points was that was laying on the ground. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.839 I was like, oh, my god, and so we're gonna 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.840 play a ten and then all of a sudden, it's 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:11.480 like we'll go to four. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:11.839 Yeah. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.239 No, you don't know until you know it's He dead 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.960 day encouraged me to get myself back in shape, and 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.720 I've been on a mission every since, speaking. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.440 Of get making sure. You claim you got a bike 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.679 that we haven't seen, take a picture of it yet. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.280 I don't take a picture of my minute. I know 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:28.680 he ran a bike. And then he said, oh, I'll 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:29.200 be swimming. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.320 You don't know what he wants A lifetime baby. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.040 You can catch me at light the time. I'm a 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.680 dolphin in the pool. Tag. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:45.720 You're wearing a sweet out there, and you were also 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.320 the field goal thing was great. I think we did 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.480 that on the Command Center show. That's where the video 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.000 footage aired. But you you were talking so much about it, 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.000 and I get nervous before I compete again because I'm like, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.840 maybe he's amazing at kicking. And then he comes out 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.560 there and tows this thing five yards. I'm like, oh, 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:02.920 I got this. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.560 People don't know how hard kicking is. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.240 I think people get kickers and say they're not really athletes. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.760 I'm sorry they are, all right, kicking is legitly hard. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.360 And I was watching games last night. These kickers are 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.880 fifty plus yeoords. That's normal, now, yes, normally, there's normal. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:20.160 What was your longest that day? 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.400 Thirty thirty yep, which is far. Like when you're out 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.080 there and you're kicking, you're like, this is pretty far. 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:27.640 Because you forget that I got ten years. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.159 Yeah, right, so that's so. Anyway, there's a lot, a 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.120 lot of fun over the first one hundred episodes, and 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.760 really enjoyed doing the show. And hope we get one 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.919 hundred more and I hope we get some more fun episodes. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.440 And why don't you fans at home leave a comment 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.599 about your favorite memory of the show and we can 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:42.320 review some. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.839 We got one show that we haven't yet, and that's 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:45.719 The Bowling Show. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:46.720 Oh yeah, yeah, Fred? 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.000 Okay, so Fred has been he waiting for that one. 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.200 But you have a ball though, You're like, I got 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.080 six balls. 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.440 Yeah, I got one.

He to me he had to be 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:44.560 some kin. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:49.159 But they him and they guess what, You're only good 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:50.880 as the hero, but you. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.640 Got to have a bit of that's true. And guess 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.159 what perfect feeling that. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.800 I used to crack me up so bad? Just highlights 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.440 because it's like, good, you have a strike and I 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.120 just can't get that juice. You know what I did strike? 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.320 Listen, you will if you started to really bowl, Yeah, 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.880 like you got to follow all patterns like this is 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.640 why it drives up as you bowl. So if you 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.920 following all patterns and you like, yeah, I'm in their 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.440 pocket right there, and then you keep being in the pocket. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:17.760 This is this something to celebrate. 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.400 I was surprised to hear that Mookie Betts was a 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:24.280 professional bowler. Yeah, play basketball and football ball and he 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:28.040 ended up just going to play baseball. Yeah that's crazy, man, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.719 that's not that's an athlete. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:30.279 True athletes. 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:30.680 Thank you. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.360 Let's say about real athletes. What do you think? Yeah, 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.520 let's just review this Steelers game. Obviously we're gonna keep 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.400 this pretty tight because you know, we got Philadelphia today, 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.000 so we're gonna make sure we focus on that. But 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.920 just a quick review. Uh, let's go high level thoughts. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.880 So one of the things is like I'm hearing from 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.720 fans and people coming up through the grocery store and 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.400 being like, oh, what happened? Why did the offense look 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.200 kind of out of sorts? And I just wanted to get 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.400 both your guys thoughts on why we think that is 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.040 and and do we need to be worried about this 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:55.560 long term? 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.400 You know, And I'm gonna jump out there and get it, 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:58.479 you know, get ahead of Friggs. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.800 I want to hear his take. But it happens, I 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.600 think when you when you're facing a team. We knew 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.320 coming into this game that the steered us might be 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.320 one of the toughest defenses that we face up to this. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.920 Point, and they showed us why. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.920 You know what I mean, Fred made a great point, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.800 and I gotta I like to give people credit when 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.000 they you know, when it's due. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.760 When a team faced the guy that you have. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.120 That's that's supposed to be special and they don'et beat 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.160 him seven times already, that this special talent, this God 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.680 given gift that that Daniels has as a quarterback with 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:28.360 his legs. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.800 When you saw these guys set to Marjacks. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.080 Jackson is one and seven up against Mike Tomlan and 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.600 those guys. So when you have the blueprint for what 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.000 they do best, it might look like we saw it 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.520 look come Sunday. But Scot point, I was my point 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.400 trying to make. With all that being said, we still 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.000 have the game in our hands. So I understand the 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.960 fans being who they are, because the fans gonna always 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.280 be up and down no matter who they are. How 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.600 you look, it's gonna be the most, it's gonna be 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.240 the worst when you lose, it's gonna be the best 0:07:59.240 --> 0:07:59.680 when you win. 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:00.560 Win, you have to. 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:04.440 Find an equal medium. But I still feel great about 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.200 our team, just seeing how they fought one and two, 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.200 how the game had to be won. The game was 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.840 really one off of them saying, Hey, you know what, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.480 it's either us of them Russ. We want to rust 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.280 the cook and he did just that. We put it 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:17.920 in his hand. We say, in order for them to 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.880 beat us, we got Russ gotta beat us, and they 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.000 did just he did that. 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.200 Like like you said, this team was built. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.320 Pittsburg is built with Pro Bowls on each level of 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:30.040 their defense. To stop a running quarterback, they go against 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.120 two of the best running quarterbacks. They go against Lamar 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.400 Jackson and Josh Allen all the time. They are built 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.040 and equipped to stop that. Even though with this being said, 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.200 we moved the ball up and down the field. We 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.520 missed passes, we overthrew passes, We did everything that made 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.040 us great, we did the opposite. We haven't turned the 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.840 ball or we turned the ball over. We haven't been 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.360 missed tackles, we miss tackles. We've been we haven't everybody 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.560 been started in their blocks assignments. We had some couple 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.800 of guys missing on offensive line, so we missed a 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:03.120 couple of blocks. And special team has been special all year. 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:04.280 They turned the ball over. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:05.240 So it was just. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.760 Everything that could have went wrong went wrong, and we 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.760 lost about one point. Matter of fact, forget how we 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.160 lost about one point with a minute left. We still 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.240 got a chance to win this game, all right. So 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.120 this shows where this teammate and I don't believe. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.600 In the more victory is and none of that. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.960 But most people say it before this game, this was 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:23.720 gonna be a measuring stick where if it was a 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.920 measuring stick, become one point short as a team that 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.520 you believe gonna be a playoff team. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.200 I take that any day, any day. 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.280 And I'm glad you said that, because it's not like 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.679 it's it's again. We're not here for more victories. We're 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.679 not here for measuring stick games. But that's a good 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:37.320 football team. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:37.720 Yeah. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.480 And if you would have told me at the beginning 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.000 of the season, after the Tampa Bay game that we'd 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.080 go when we lose to Pittsburgh by one with Russell 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:46.920 Wilson's starting playing as well as it is, I'd be like, 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.160 probably not, you know what I mean, probably not. So 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.840 obviously this team has improved grorastically sex week one, right, 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.600 And is this disappointing to fans? To me? To you 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.079 to the team absolutely because you want to win this game. 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.600 And I think the thing that you talked about Fred 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.120 that is so important is it just felt like this 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.480 felt like a playoff game and watched it on the sideline, 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.280 I have had that kind of energy and I felt 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.000 like this is a young team and quarterbacks young and 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.600 that just little uptick of velocity, right, that little uptick 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.360 of speed, a little uptick take a strain led the 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:17.960 stuff that you don't normally see from the team. And 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.640 I think it's good to get a game like this 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.560 in right, No, because now you can go back as 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.800 the quarterback and be like, hey, I've I've been there, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.679 I've been to a new area in terms of strain, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.160 and I know what it takes. I can complete these footballs. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.840 And so is it good that they lost? No, But 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.600 is it good that they got this experience. Ye. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:40.280 You notice that most quarterbacks, running quarterbacks, most defensive play 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:40.920 a lot of zone. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:42.679 Pittsburgh don't play. 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:43.439 They play a lot of man. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.960 They play a lot of man, and they blitz Most 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:50.880 people don't blitz runners. They have developed this art of 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.520 blitzing runners. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.240 So what they what they do, it's a little it's 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:56.720 a that's a good point, Fred. So one of the 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.520 things that they do really well, it's a couple of things, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.720 and this is a little bit of nerdy football. One 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.960 is you talk about rushing as four guys together. They 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.760 rush as four guys together. The defensive tackles on how 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.400 to compress the pocket, the defensive ends. I thought they 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.960 were going to be really aggressive as rushers because they 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.000 are TJ. Watson never has. But they were really disciplined, 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.839 and that thing you'd be watching from the end zone 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.079 and that thing would just shrink. You talk about first 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.920 second down, they get in their odd spacing versus like Nickel, 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.439 so you get like a four eyes. So someone over 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.440 the guard, someone over the tackle, someone over the guard, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.280 and it covers up queen inside. So all of your 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.240 pin pull stuff gets a little bit weird. All your 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.599 wand is get a little bit weird. Then, if I 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.600 want to read quarterback read stuff, I got TJ. Watt 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.599 un abated to the quarterback and he doesn't really have 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.920 a lot of responsibility there. So it was a really 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.839 good system. And then you say, oh, well, cliffs on, 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.360 such a good job of getting these bubble screens and 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.800 quick outs to the perimeter. They were pressed man basically, 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.520 which is a model, which is a model that was 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.000 set by Cleveland. And again, those are things that you 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.600 got to say, I'm glad we see this now because 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.480 we're going to see it again in the playoffs from 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.400 good defenses because this if you have the per sonel, 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.400 I think this is the best way to stop us. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.000 But what about the person they are. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.079 We're not talking about that they got all week coming 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:07.840 out of bye. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.439 They had justin fields immolating this guy. 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.160 Practice your point, like they had also the bye week too, 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.000 Like they came out coming out of bye. They came 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:17.920 out so they had the lowest lowest pressure rate in 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.840 the NFL. Like they don't blitz at all, and then 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.520 this game they blitzed nineteen teams, you know what I'm saying, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.920 So like not fifty percent of rushing opportunities. That's like 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.040 a crazy spike. And again just understanding kind of how 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.880 to accelerate a young player and putting them in a 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.720 bad spot and trusting your man man matchups on the outside. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.640 Like it was, it was a good game planned by Pittsburgh. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.120 Let's talk about the defense real quick. I think that 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:44.240 group outside of probably sixth place, Yeah, plate. They butt 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:45.400 off played excellent. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.559 They played they butt off like they. 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.160 You know what they did to me one word, they 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:55.800 matched Picksburg's physicality. Yeah, because not j Harris has been 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.880 running through people. He's been everything. Five point five. I 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.600 think a rush all right he left out of here 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.760 was like three point eight, like didn't even get over 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.839 like seventy eighty yards. Stopping that and making them one dimensional, 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.920 like you said, tell him. We want to make Russ cook. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.040 He bought the stove instead of the air frud. We 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.319 wanted to make him cook. He made the plays when 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.600 the players were presented, but he also made mistakes too. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.720 He turned the ball over up Chin, got an interception, 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.720 got a fumber recovery. I just thought these guys play 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.400 intense football. I thought Frankie Louvu got out of these guys. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.480 I thought the running pain was all over. I just 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.400 thought this defense played well, like you said, once they 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.840 learned how to get those five or six plays with 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:42.079 this football, those five or six plays, and not screen 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.840 them up to the point that they not touchdowns, but 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.440 slow them down, like keep them out the end zone, 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.120 like for them to kick field gals. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:50.520 Nah, I mean you spot on. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.120 I saw guys go out there and be I guess 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.600 you should say supernatural a little bit. I mean, Dante Fowler, 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.720 you can't talk enough about how he went out and 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.920 got to the quarterback. You talk about, you know, how 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.240 Payne played inside pain and the young fella played great 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.160 and even ninety eight showed up a. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.040 Couple of times. Man. 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.280 You know of Darien Mathis, he showed up a couple 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:10.880 of times. And I was sitting there like, you know, 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.719 you know, stun just the way he played defensively. Man, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.920 we brought everything. We did what we said we wanted 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.880 to do. Allow Russ to beat the one. I mean, 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.880 we didn't. We stopped the run. And with all that 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.280 being said, we talked so much, you know, I'm the 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:23.920 catalyst of it. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.960 I talk so much every week about winning the turnover battle. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:27.560 We did that. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.600 We won the turnover battle, and we had another one 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.800 that they didn't give to us. We had three turnovers 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.480 that day. They took one from us that we clearly had. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.480 But you know, you know, I we ain't gonna talk 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.160 about these officials, but it's just one of those things. Man. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.360 We said, we say what we're saying when it comes 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.640 to allowing Rush to beat us, which he did, allowing 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.400 our even though our defense played phenomenal, our offense had 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.040 points in the game where we could have made plays 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.400 because I'll be the first to tell you drop balls overthrown, Bass, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.160 didn't have Wiley, didn't have our runner and be rob up, 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.280 and still had the game in our hands with two 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.440 minutes left. You know what I'm saying, with the game 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.000 in our hands. So you say all that, and you 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.040 might look at it and say, man, Washington got blowed 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.320 out because this, this, and that. No, they beat us, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.480 and they had to. They had to do everything right 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.040 to beat us. And I would take that any day, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.000 because regardless of we haven't been used to this feeling 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.240 this year because it felt kind of odd to find. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.360 Out it comes at home. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:28.680 I was like the first time out. But it hurts 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:29.360 so bad in it. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.640 I'm sure it hurt us because we sitting there like, damn, 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.440 Like I rather you beat me the entire game, then 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.600 I give it to give it to you at the end. 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.520 I feel like, and we gave it to them twice. Yeah, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:40.200 you know what I'm saying. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.920 And I think it's also like you gave it to them. 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.960 There's obviously the big plays at the end. There's the 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:46.880 but there's also the plays throughout you know. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.840 Yeah, no, that you drop I'm not talking about specifically 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:51.120 at the end. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.000 I'm talking about just throughout the game, coming through things 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.080 that we did. Things that we did almost like a 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.880 walking apart. It looked it seemed hard, like easy catches 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.960 and easy you know ball place me here and there. 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.040 And not to say our fellas that happens. We all 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.680 are human, you know what I mean. Wed, I'm been 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.560 in plenty of games where I didn't I came up 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.080 short and stuff like that, but it didn't made you scratch. 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.320 Your head like, wow, the game we needed the most. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.240 You can't. You can't put that kind of informance out there, 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:17.440 you know. 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.880 So I still give our guys a hats off because 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.560
