1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Talk about low. It takes a snap play action, rolling

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: to his right thors across his body for the end

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: zone touchdown. Darren Waller again, his first game back from retirement,

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: and he's got a double action of the end zone.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins extend the lead of sixteen to three.

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: Ah Yes, Darren Waller emphatically announced his return to the

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: NFL with two touchdown catches. The Dolphins rediscovered their offensive

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: mojo and dominated the Jets and some snazzy black uniforms

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: on Monday Night at hard Rock Stadium twenty seven to

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: twenty one over New York in a game that wasn't

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: that close. I'm Nick Shook, filling in for Greg Rosenthal,

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 2: who's still gallivanting around Europe, and I'm joined by none

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: other than the superstar herself, Jordan Rodrieg. Jordan, there was

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: one key injuring in this game that might temper the

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: excitement for the Dolphins fans, But what a time for

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: a performance like this.

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, So much of this offense specifically looked like the

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins plus plus you know, the Miami Dolphins that

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: we're used to seeing, and then a little extra that

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: we've been wanting to see from the Miami Dolphins and

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: Darren Waller from getting involved immediately on the opening script

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 3: to catching the first touchdown pass, then to follow it

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: up again, and then to be on the hands team

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: at the end recovering the on side kick when the

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: Jets brought it with an eight. This is and this

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: was an interesting game. Obviously it stings a lot now afterward,

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: Miami is relieved to be out of the Easter egg

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: the egg column over the donut the donut column. Yeah,

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: I was looking for the word. It's been. We've we've been.

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: We've been watching a lot of football the last couple

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: of days. Nick, They're they're relieved for that. But obviously

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill with what Mike McDaniel says now is a

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: dislocated knee. Sounds like he's reaching out to teammates from

34
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 3: the hospital as we record this. But really scary moment

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: for Tyreek Hill as he was carted off the field

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: during tonight's game.

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was one of those some tackles in a

38
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: sport that's filled with them. Unfortunately, that's just the nature

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: of the game sometimes. And his leg, you know, as

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: he lands on the ground, you can see his leg

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: bent at an awkward angle, and you feared that it

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: was going to be something significant, and it has been

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: confirmed that it is. So it's a blow for the

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: Dolphins for sure, but we shouldn't let that sully this

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: night for them too much, because for the first time

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: all season, it felt like, like you said, the Dolphins

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: were back to who they were. Mike McDaniel was in

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: a flow offensively. He's drawn up all kinds of pre

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: snap motion, some orbit motion, they're getting some jet motion happening,

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: and it's opening everything up for a Dolphins offense that

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: had felt a little clogged up in the first couple

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: of weeks, started to show some signs against Buffalo, but

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: really took full advantage in this game against New York.

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: But before we like really get into their offensive successes,

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: this early on looked like a game that was going

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: to be back and forth, because the Jets went down

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: the field and we're about to get in the end

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: zone when the Dolphins defense came through punching out a

59
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: fumble out of Brayl Braylan Allen's grasped and recovering it

60
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: just short of the goal line. And let me tell you,

61
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: if there's a play that turned the tide for the

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: Dolphins in this game against the Jets. It was that

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: one because they followed it up with a long march

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: down the field, a fifteen play ninety six yard drive

65
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: that ends in Darren Waller's first touchdown of the game.

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: And you know what, this is a little I don't know,

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: out of the norm for this show, but we'll just

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: get to it right now. Let's get it done right now,

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: because Darren Waller, he delivered on Monday Night. That's right,

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: It's time for Who Delivered, presented by Uber Eats. And

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: nobody delivered more on Monday Night than Darren Wallace.

72
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: In the shotgun, takes a snap, looks to his right back,

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: middle back of the end zone.

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: It is foot four and tut touchdown going up high

75
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: and guess who it's the big body Darren Waller with

76
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: his first score as a Dolphin.

77
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: Well, hey, look like a younger man there, you know.

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: And this is this has been a long run for

79
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: Darren Waller. I think obviously they would have liked to

80
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: have him earlier in this season. Certainly Mike McDaniel and

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: Frank Smith, the OC who has such a close bond

82
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: with Darren Waller's The entire reason why Darren Waller is

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: in Miami right now because of the work not just

84
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: uh schematically and as a coach, but personally helping Darren

85
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: Waller through one of the hardest periods of his life

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: in you know, and when he connected with Frank Smith

87
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: back in Las Vegas. This is a bond that they've

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: been waiting to show on the field for a while.

89
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: But Darren Waller was out of football for so long

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: relative to you know, how you need to stay in

91
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: shape for the game and get mentally and physically back

92
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 3: and ready to go. And they've been waiting for this

93
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: and he showed up in a big way for them. Nick,

94
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: this was uh, and I know we're going to get

95
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: into it more, but this was to your earlier point, like,

96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: this was a game I thought the Jets had finally

97
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: like re arrived right after this first game that they

98
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: played of the season, where they looked so strong despite

99
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: the loss, and they looked their run game was incredible

100
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: and Justin Fields looked awesome and all these things. This

101
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: started this way too. Eleven of their twelve opening script

102
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: plays were heavy personnel run game, multiple tight ends, extra

103
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: offensive lineman, combination of Brease Hall and Braylan Allen and

104
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: the full back gets in there as well, and they

105
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: are just looking dominant six point nine yards per carry,

106
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: and they don't often put too much stock in like

107
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: one play early in a game deciding the entire outcome

108
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: of the game. But this is still a Jets team

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: that is super new with itself and figuring itself out.

110
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: They were super undisciplined the entire game, penalties everywhere they

111
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: clearly are not They clearly don't quite have the collective

112
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: identity yet to withstand some of this adversity. And so

113
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 3: this fumble by Braylan Allen, who then left the game

114
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: with a knee injury, and that's something definitely to keep

115
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: an eye on as well. This just spiderweb for them.

116
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: They were totally lost after that. They could not go

117
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: in stay in their A plus plan. Miami went back

118
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: down and scored, took a lead, obviously, and to that

119
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 3: point it was a ten point lead, and that meant

120
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: that they had to pass more. And the one thing

121
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: that this offensive line still doesn't quite have together yet

122
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: with justin fields is pass protection. And Anthony Weaver for

123
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: all of the yardage that that was carved up against

124
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: his defense and for all of the push that the

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: opposing offensive line was getting against him in the run game,

126
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: he did dial up some really nice pressure designs and

127
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: they hassled that offensive line and they caused them to

128
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: jump and there were shift penalties. So that one fumble

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: when everything was going so well in that A plus

130
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: plan ended up mattering so much more than I think

131
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: normally something that early would.

132
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, and I think that the Dolphins capitalization of

133
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: that turnover, of that takeaway was just as important as

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: that fumble because this is a division rivalry game. It's

135
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: a three to nothing game, it was almost a seven

136
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: to three game in the Jets favor. Instead, they capitalized

137
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: the advantage, respond and score, And it was really important

138
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: to me in that sequence because on the play prior

139
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: Mike bec Daniel schemes up something fantastic and Tua goes

140
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: away from where he probably should have gone and tries

141
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: to hit Wattle on the outside on a throw that

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: was never going to be there. It was covered. They

143
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: run a nice little trail concept over the middle where

144
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: he's got two options sitting in the middle of the field,

145
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: and you think, oh no, they just missed their opportunity.

146
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: But then he goes to Waller, who makes that contested

147
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: catch over Sauce Gardner, which really hammers home the point

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: you just made, which is that they took control of

149
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 2: this game. They set the tone, and that's why Darren

150
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: Waller is our choice for who Delivered presented by Uber Eats. Yes,

151
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: that was who Delivered presented by Uber Eats. When football

Speaker 3: I see the moon, as Joe and Troy we're talking

158
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: about in the later game that we'll talk about. I

159
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: see the moon out my window.

160
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I think we all do right now, although

161
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: the temperatures may vary depending on where you are. Let's

162
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: go back to the Jets here real quick, because you're

163
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: absolutely right. I think that they kind of crumbled because look,

164
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: they've they've been pretty punchy in some of these games.

165
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: The Steelers game Week one, they were punchy against the Buccaneers.

166
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Last week the damn near came back and won that

167
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: game with their fight, and that's one thing they've had

168
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: in every game, fight and they kind of fought in

169
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: this game, but they couldn't get out of their own way.

170
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: I mean, there was a number of issues with this team,

171
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: whether it was operational where they had thirteen penalties accepted

172
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: for one hundred and one yards, it was fumbles, it

173
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: was trying to dial up a third long read option

174
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: because you may not trust Justin Fields to hold onto

175
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 2: the ball or find somebody open in that situation, given

176
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: that he'd made a blunder before, it's even fair catching

177
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: the ball at their own too. And I think that

178
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: plays these key players. Obviously, they say what seven plays

179
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: may determine a football game. Turnovers. Usually if you look

180
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: in the turnover category, you can determine who won that

181
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: game most often, not all the time. But there was

182
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: another play made by that Anthony Weaver defense which has

183
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: been under fire, that made a huge difference in this game.

184
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: When they got after Justin Fields us soon in broad fields, the.

185
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: Heavy bounce out scooped up.

186
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Then Miami's pass Lors gets home and creates a second takeaway.

187
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: Look at that situation there, Jordan, they're a near midfield

188
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: they're still down to nothing, but they're in the fight.

189
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: They're trying to battle as they have for most of

190
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: this season. But the Dolphins slammed the door with plays

191
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: like that. And I think for as much as the

192
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: as Miami figured things out offensively, it was really the

193
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 2: all three phases of the game, and especially the defense

194
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: bouncing back from some tough outings that really drove home

195
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: this victory emitted an emphatic one for them.

196
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: Well, I will say I have zero trust in the

197
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: Dolphins run defense. They looked so soft upfront against the run,

198
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: and that is that's again why it was so key

199
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: for them to get a lead early. These Dolphins teams

200
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: that used to kick the doors down on people did

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: exactly that. They depended on exactly that to get a

202
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: lead early and stay in their A plus plan offense

203
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: and defense, because one thing they are going to do

204
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: is be able to rush the passer with that front

205
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: and there was a lot of really you know, solid

206
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: design when the pressure was there. The coverage was also

207
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: for the most part there as well for them. And

208
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: I really feel like this was so interesting by Miami

209
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: because it gave them also a little bit of that

210
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: juice and confidence on offense, and Tua I think really

211
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: carried the group in that regard. Tua, to me, for

212
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: major parts of this game looked like himself again, like

213
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, to a tongue of Ailoa

214
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: that we've seen. And it wasn't just some of the

215
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: timing throws that he made. And I also thought that

216
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: they had a really good planet and I'll get to

217
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: that in a minute, but it wasn't just the timing

218
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: throws and seeing the field really well and anticipatory throws

219
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: and those things. It was the ball handling that he had.

220
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: He had an incredibly sick play where he flips the

221
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: handoff behind his back on like a little I guess

222
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: I would call it a reverse. It wasn't really, but

223
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: it was sort of a run fake reverse, but he

224
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: flips it behind his back, looking, you know, like he's

225
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: like throwing an alley oop to somebody. And that was

226
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 3: a cool play. And then the timing on some of

227
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 3: the run fakes. He faked at one point a handoff

228
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: to the left and the entire play flow went that way,

229
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: and then instead he tucked the ball and he went

230
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 3: to his right instead. Some of the movement that they

231
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: were getting with Toa and his confidence in that and

232
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: deploying some of these plays. What was really important when

233
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 3: the Jets, they saw early the Jets were going to

234
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: do what the Jets do, which is play a lot

235
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 3: of man coverage, a lot of things that they were

236
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: doing you kind of expected they were going to do,

237
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: which is run the condensed sets. The cut splits were

238
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: going to be close together, which means that they could

239
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: set natural pick plays for each other for the receivers,

240
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: but also all of these motions designed to spring a

241
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: receiver clean off the line of scrimmage. They were running

242
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: a lot of that with tyreek Hill early. Those types

243
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: of things that is what we saw have seen the

244
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: Dolphins do when they were at their peak offensively, and

245
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: all of those things put together, combined with the Jets

246
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 3: own being put back on their heels into their B

247
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: and C plans because of that early turnover, all of

248
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: these things combined to set up, i think, to for

249
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: this extreme night of confidence and playmaking ability. And yes,

250
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: obviously them losing Tyreek Hill hurts them, but on the

251
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: other side, they're running the ball, they're sticking with the

252
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: run and again because they are able to because they

253
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: have a lead. They're not panicking, you know, they get

254
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: what Achan has, like ninety nine yards, he still doesn't

255
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: go over one hundred, but he's not even been close

256
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: this entire season to one hundred yards, and he did

257
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: go over one hundred scrimmage yards one hundred and one

258
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 3: scrimmage yards. So this was something where they stuck with

259
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: it and they closed the game out this way, and

260
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: I just thought we saw so much of that like

261
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: spark back in this offense, despite the fact that this

262
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: is still a you know, a one and three team

263
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: with some serious problems.

264
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and there are serious problems. But in a

265
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: game like this, you are if you think that you're

266
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: going to be the team that you believe you can be,

267
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: you have to deliver a performance like this, and they did.

268
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: They did, and I think that even at one in three,

269
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: they are going to be feeling so much better going

270
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: into the next week. The NFL, in football, but especially

271
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: the NFL, is such a week by week sport. It

272
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: really does matter from one week to the next how

273
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 2: you're feeling coming out of a game. Are you angry

274
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: because you lost a close one? Are you ecstatic because

275
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: you finally felt like yourself again, Tua had a good

276
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: way of describing it after the game.

277
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 4: You know, my thoughts are out to the guys that

278
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: got hurt tonight. My thoughts and prayers are also at Reek,

279
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: you know. But it's a great feeling that we feel tonight. Obviously,

280
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: when when you win, you know, that's in a way

281
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: one of the best the odorance for what you could

282
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 4: be going through. So I would say, you know, we're

283
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 4: enjoying it right now, but we just got to find

284
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 4: a way to continue to stack those wins in the

285
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 4: win column and continue to keep that going throughout the season.

286
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: I think you line himself up for a brand deal there.

287
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I think that the swift

288
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: campaign's over with old spots. They might be given to

289
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: a call.

290
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: I know, right, I love that, and man, he might

291
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 3: need it because he ran so much boot leg action

292
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 3: tonight and so much like deep developing, long developing play

293
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: action to move his launch point, which is again another

294
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: thing that worked so well against this man coverage and

295
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: this front that the Jets have. This is something on

296
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: the Jets side, Nick, They're gonna have to like really

297
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: self scout because this will kill them every single week

298
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: that a team does these things against them, they don't

299
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: even have to do it at the level that the

300
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: Dolphins executed it tonight. If they have a run game

301
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: and they can get the playfakes going, and they can

302
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: get some of those bootlegs going, and they can just

303
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 3: shift and move the point the launch point for the

304
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: quarterbacks to the point where he lets go of the

305
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: football and change direction of the way the play is flowing,

306
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: the way the Dolphins did so well tonight. The Jets

307
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: were not disciplined in not biting on those fakes over

308
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: and over again. They were not disciplined. You mentioned the

309
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: penalties their defense. This is not the way erin Glenn

310
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: wants to play. You could see it all over his

311
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: space on the sideline. I think, to his credit, he

312
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: was with his guys the whole way through, but you know,

313
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: this is not the way that he wants to play.

314
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: And then when the Jets made incredible plays down the

315
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: field and all you know, we're starting to try to

316
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: get something together, justin Fields and Garrett Wilson together, you know,

317
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: kind of all by their lonesome trying to make things happen.

318
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: You know, it's still was too little, too late, because

319
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 3: they were so undisciplined, with self inflicted errors throughout.

320
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, we get into the fourth quarter.

321
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: You know, I said that this game finished is twenty

322
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: seven to twenty one, but it wasn't really that close.

323
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't They score a touchdown inside two minutes with

324
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: a touchdown pass from Justin Fields to Garrett Wilson. That

325
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: was truly an incredible catch, And it was actually one

326
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: of two incredible catches in this game, because the first

327
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: one was wiped out by an offensive pass interference. Parently

328
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: that that I don't think really happened, but if you're

329
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: watching on YouTube, you could see it. Now. Garrett Wilson

330
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: essentially mosses the nearest defender on a ball that probably

331
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: could have been placed better, but it was placed well

332
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: enough for Wilson to go up and get it. And

333
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: it just kind of shows how special level player he

334
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: is and why he's right to be frustrated with the

335
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: current state of this offense. And at one point in

336
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: this game, he's shouting at the sideline throwing the ball

337
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: like they're in a desperate situation. Let me go make

338
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: a play. He's able to make a play there. It

339
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: doesn't amount to much in the end, but it is

340
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: a preview of what they can be. It's just that

341
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: right now, the operational issues, the small things are limiting

342
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: them from what they can be.

343
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, self inflicted, self inflicted, self inflicted all night. That

344
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: was the Jets, and you saw, like I mentioned, Aaron

345
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: Glenn sticking close to his players. I do think that

346
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: this will come together. I think that again, this was

347
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: not a team that doesn't have an idea of what

348
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: it wants to be. It's got a lot of little

349
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: steps in the middle. You saw it with their opening script.

350
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: This is exactly who they want to be. You saw

351
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: it on that pass and I thought it was a

352
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: well placed ball considering where Garrett Wilson, you know, only

353
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: put it where you know Garrett Wilson is going to

354
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: go up and get it right over the back of

355
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: the head of the safety. And I think that this was,

356
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: you know, the two point conversion. You saw how clean

357
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: their operation was on some of these things when they

358
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: were able to the ball. Justin Fields had a massive

359
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 3: pickup himself on the ground, missed a couple throws, but

360
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: when he had to make a play in a cruiser

361
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: situation in a deficit, when he actually got the chance

362
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: when they weren't being backed up by penalties, or his

363
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: offensive line wasn't struggling a pass pro you could see

364
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: the identity in the vision and especially in the run game.

365
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 3: With this group, it's all the little steps in between,

366
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: and it's this defense that is somehow has less of

367
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 3: an identity than this offense, which you know, and you

368
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: know Aaron Glenn and Steve Wilks are not going to

369
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: stand for that. They it's just a little fundamental things

370
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 3: that have to apply for this team, and it's gonna

371
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 3: be a long journey in that regard. But if they

372
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 3: stayed disciplined, and I liked what I saw from Aaron Glenn.

373
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: When Garrett Wilson was getting upset, he went over and

374
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 3: he wrapped his arm around the back of his head,

375
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 3: you know, dad to Son's style, and was kind of

376
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 3: like talking to him and in his ear. And Garrett

377
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: Wilson was fired up, and he should be right, he's

378
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: every right to be. But Aaron Glenn did not. He

379
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: just sort of attached to him. He didn't let him

380
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: go off into his own head. He just he stayed

381
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: there and he talked to him. He connected with him.

382
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: Braylan Allen when he fumbled, Aaron Glenn went over and

383
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: talked to him after that, reassured him they were going

384
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: to come right back to him. Unfortunately got injured on

385
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: the kickoff right after. And so this this is a

386
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: team that if they can stay together, if they can

387
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 3: stay connected, I do think there are bright days ahead

388
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: of them.

389
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are, and I think that's part of the

390
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: process of turning around a team. Our writer at NFL

391
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: dot com, Kevin patrick As, made this comment tonight, you know,

392
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: over our messaging where he was like, they're essentially mirroring

393
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: what the Dan Campbell Lions were when they first started.

394
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: It's just that nobody cared that the Lion sucked. And

395
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: the Jets operate in New York and they're going to

396
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: be under major scrutiny. That's the only difference.

397
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 3: Sets away with words coming at you, ye coming at

398
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: you, you exactly.

399
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: And I think he's absolutely right because they are going

400
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: to be under the microscope because they play in New York.

401
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 2: But at the same time, like these things don't happen overnight.

402
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: The first thing you fix is the details, is the

403
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: operational issues, is the penalties, and once you get that

404
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: sort out, I think, in my you know, just evaluation

405
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: of this team where they stand right now. They need

406
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: to figure out who exactly they want to be with

407
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: Justin Fields at quarterback, because you know, they have the

408
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: new OC they got the new staff and everything else.

409
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: And we've talked about Tanner Ingstrand and how this offense

410
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 2: is gonna look and how they looked in Week one

411
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: against the Jets and how they haven't really looked like

412
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: that entirely since then. But there's still glimpses of it.

413
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: But when it comes down to you can run the ball, well,

414
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: you can kind of play big man ball with that

415
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: offensive line. You don't know your pass protection with him

416
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: yet you have not figured that out. That was painfully

417
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: clear tonight. But who do you want Justin Fields to

418
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: be because there were times where it felt like they

419
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily trust him to throw the ball unless they

420
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 2: absolutely had to. But at the same time, you can

421
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: kind of understand why because Justin Field's made a hell

422
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 2: of a play on fourth down to try to keep

423
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: the Jets in it in the second half.

424
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: It's fourth and one on the Dolphins forty three under

425
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: nine to forty to play in the third with the

426
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: Jets down fourteen. They need this one here.

427
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 3: Fields takes this, Naw fakes the handoffs.

428
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: Move to his right, back to his left. He's gonna

429
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: have to be special with his legs and he will

430
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: across the edge. No, he's got green grass in front.

431
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: Fields across the twenty, weaving back the other way. Fields

432
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: is gonna score spectacular run, a forty three yard touchdown

433
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: and Fields gets the Chets within a score.

434
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: And yes, it was a fantastic play. Also, I just

435
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: realized I didn't credit who was on the call earlier.

436
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: There was no eagle in Mike Mayock Westwood one on

437
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: that call in the first call of the game as well.

438
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: Shout out to them doing a great job call in

439
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: this primetime game. But that's an example of what he

440
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: can do when you let him extend plays.

441
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 3: Now.

442
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: The big knock on him for a long time in

443
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: Chicago was that he held onto the ball too long.

444
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: But at least now he's running with a bit more

445
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 2: conviction and realizing, look, I'm a supreme athlete. I can

446
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: outrun this defense and make a guy or two miss

447
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 2: and get in the end zone. And it was a

448
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: great example of that.

449
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 3: Well, I just think he overall run in pass. I

450
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 3: think he's seeing the field better when you see it

451
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: him flashes and I know people are going to I roll.

452
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 3: I'll probably get some messages about like, oh, he's missed

453
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 3: a bunch of throws or whatever. Yeah, but when you

454
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: look at when he's blocked up the way that he

455
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: should be, the way that any quarterback anywhere, if you're

456
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: not dealing with, you know, the bare minimum here, should

457
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: at least be able to you know, develop a little

458
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: bit under when he's blocked up and when the offense

459
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: is humming, when they've got a rhythm, when they've got timing.

460
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: He sees the field really well, and he sees it

461
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: incredibly well too as a runner, and he is really

462
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 3: patient in finding his creases, and he does not take

463
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 3: unnecessary contact as a runner, especially not in this game,

464
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: which I thought was really interesting. He was very smart

465
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 3: about the lanes he chose and the way that he

466
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: decided to extend plays when he could now some of

467
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: it lack of ball security and under pressure at some times,

468
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 3: and which led to that big play earlier that you

469
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 3: talked about. That's obviously an issue. But these are the

470
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: reasons why teams believe and the Jets certainly believe that

471
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 3: they still have something here, that there is something still

472
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: to be found, to still be developed, to still be

473
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: moved forward with Justin Fields at the helm, and I

474
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: think he is. He's figuring. I think he's got to

475
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: do a little of that figuring it out himself too,

476
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 3: of you know, really understanding. Hey, I now have to

477
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 3: make sure that my offensive linemen are not jumping off sides.

478
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: I have to set my motions correctly where I'm not

479
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: double tapping one of my feet and messing up the

480
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: tight end on one side, or tapping a foot before

481
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: another guy gets set to trigger another guy to come

482
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: over in motion. This is going to be a lot

483
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 3: of little details that all of these guys have to have,

484
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 3: but that the quarterback must take ownership of, and the

485
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: head coach and the offensive coordinator and the defensive coordinator

486
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 3: certainly all have a role to play in that. But

487
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 3: if Justin Fields is truly going to be the person

488
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: that they believe he can be and I believe he

489
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 3: can be in carrying this offense forward, all of those

490
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: tiny little things have to get cleaned up and he's

491
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 3: got to take ownership of that too.

492
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely has to because you cannot survive in the

493
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: NFL as an offense, and especially a quarterback when you

494
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: face a pressure rate of forty eight percent forty eight

495
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 2: point six percent. Miami log tonight against the Jets not

496
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: looking good. It's going to take patients. It's going to

497
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: take persistence for the Jets to figure it out. But

498
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: I too believe much like you, Jordan, and I'll tell

499
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: you what, we could use a little bit of patience

500
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: from our listeners because guess what, it was a double

501
00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 2: header on Monday night.

502
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: We got another game and.

503
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: Talk about coming up next, We're gonna head out to

504
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: Denver to talk about what happened between the Broncos and

505
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: the Bengals.

506
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: Pen of Cincinnati bo Nicks the Denver quarterback against the

507
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: shotgun snap left tackle, block line, right field, bow line,

508
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: leaping cuts, touchdown.

509
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: Sutton left and got it against his chests two yards

510
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: deep in the end zone.

511
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: Broncos a touchdown before halftime and they get their lead

512
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: up twenty to three over Cincinnati.

513
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner on the call for Westwood One.

514
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: It was a great catch on a great night for

515
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. JK Dobbins rush for one hundred and one.

516
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks threw for over three hundred and Sean Payton

517
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: he must have found that chef's hat that Russell Wilson

518
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: left behind when he skipped town and put it on,

519
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: because the man cooked up a feast for the folks.

520
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: In Denver. On Monday Night, the Broncos steamroll the Cincinnati

521
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: Bengals twenty eight to three in a game I'm not

522
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: certain the Bengals knew they needed to show up for

523
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: on Monday night in Denver, Jordan. What a showing for

524
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: the now two and two Denver Broncos.

525
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, it started a little rough

526
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: for the Broncos too. We'll get into it, Nick, but

527
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: this was a game that was so lopsided and so

528
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: sloppy by the Bengals. Both teams racked up some penalties.

529
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: But the Bengals certainly are setting new milestones, certainly every

530
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: single week, it seems like. But this was a game

531
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: where by the middle of the third quarter, in case

532
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 3: you didn't tune in and you wanted to know how

533
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 3: it was going, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were talking

534
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 3: about the moon waxing crescent. If you were curious how

535
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 3: Joe Buck is a Taurus and roasting the officials for

536
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: calling yet another penalty that they agreed was the right

537
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: call to make in the moment, but unnecessary because it

538
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: kept stopping the game. And that really tells you what

539
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 3: this was. As early as midway through the third quarter,

540
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: what started out a little sloppy on both sides turned

541
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: into a very very lopsided affair.

542
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely. Basically, the Bengals mounted one effort and

543
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 2: that was in their first drive, and for the rest

544
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: of the night. They might as well pack those start

545
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: of the busses and pack things up, because that's about

546
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: as valuable unfortunately, as they were on the field. It's

547
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: funny that you mentioned their complaints about the penalties because

548
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here like furiously writing off of Jets Dolphins

549
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: and just hearing Troy Aikman talk about how it's a

550
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: bad product, it's just unnecessary. I'm like, wait a minute,

551
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: how many penalties did they have in this game? Because

552
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: I know the Jets just went for thirteen. Oh, let's

553
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 2: see mental math sometimes hard on the show. Eighteen combined

554
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: accepted penalties between these two teams. The Bengals led with eleven.

555
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 2: So you want to talk sloppy, you can find it

556
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: right there in statistical form. But all that being said,

557
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos, for perhaps the first time this season, got

558
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: a just a complete offensive showing from this group. I mean,

559
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: you can start with bo Nix and how he's a

560
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: bit of a tumultuous experience. He'll make a bad throw

561
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: or a bad decision here and there, and then he'll

562
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: hit a big one. He'll run around the yard and

563
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: be a gun slinger and everything else. But it wasn't

564
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 2: just that. It was the running game and how they

565
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: comp men and each other so perfectly. What did you see?

566
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: What really stood out for you again a stat line

567
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: that tells you exactly where both of these teams are

568
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: right at this moment, which is that JK. Dobbins became

569
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: the Sean Payton Broncos first one hundred yards running back.

570
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 3: So it's the first one in what like thirty eight games.

571
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: And then if you're looking at it from the other perspective,

572
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: the Bengals allowed a second consecutive one hundred yards rusher

573
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: on their way to allowing over five hundred yards of

574
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: offense overall. It just depends glass half empty glass, half full,

575
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: whichever side of the coin you happen to be on.

576
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: But JK. Dobbins broke that open late in the game,

577
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: and finally they have a little bit more of a

578
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 3: balanced attack.

579
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: Fifteen yards away from one hundred.

580
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: Yards is Dobbins? Oh oh, how many is that? Sweta

581
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: fta know, he's got his hands in the air. That

582
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: was sixteen. He's had one hundred yards. Troy Aikman, the

583
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: are that are early? He's at one oh one? Joe

584
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 2: bucking Troykman on the call.

585
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: For yes, so excited for something happened, Nick.

586
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: I mean at that point, I totally understand. What do

587
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: we have to look forward to other than the moon

588
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: and our astrological signs. No, we got somebody finally hitting

589
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: a milestone. Yeah, you're right, that's exactly the type of

590
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: night it was. But man, it's just so good. And

591
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: maybe I'm just speaking from a point of bias or

592
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: just I don't know. I have a big heart at

593
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: times when it comes to sporting events. But JK. Dobbins

594
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: has been through so much over the last few years,

595
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: and really, if you go back to his career at

596
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State, he dealt with ankle injuries in big time

597
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: games that limited him even then, and they had tough

598
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 2: losses like to Clemson for example. And now after all

599
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: of these trials and tribulations, he ends up with Denver

600
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: after spending last year with their AFC West rival the Chargers,

601
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: and it seems like he's found the perfect home. Just

602
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: pacing this ground attack and looking explosive and like the

603
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 2: Dobbins we knew from before.

604
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's exactly what they needed because bo Nicks

605
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: can pick up some yardage with his legs obviously, and

606
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: he scored their first touchdown on the move as well.

607
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: And this is where you know they just haven't. They

608
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: really want to get some of this play action game working.

609
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 3: They want to actually move people off the line of scrimmage,

610
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: doing all the things that Sean Payton has liked to

611
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 3: have with previous teams, having a multi threat rushing attack

612
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: where some of those players can also split out into

613
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: the passing game. That is exactly what he wants to have,

614
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 3: and it took them a little while to get here.

615
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: You heard the stat I said it Troy or Joe,

616
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: which everyone I always mix up their voices, said it,

617
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: and it, but and it's taken forever, and they even

618
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: you know, they mixed up their backs at certain points too. R. J.

619
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: Harvey got a couple of carries, a couple of looks

620
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: as well. In the passing game. They had a fullback

621
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: in there at one point as well. But this was

622
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: going to be JK. Dobbins's game, and you could almost

623
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: tell there was just this consorted like want to to

624
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: feed him. Having a lead helped obviously early on, but

625
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: you could just you could feel like this was going

626
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: to be scratching and clawing. However it was gonna happen.

627
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 3: This was gonna be the night that had happened. And

628
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: I think it's a good breakthrough for JK. Dobbinson. Now

629
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: they have to sustain and I think that's going to

630
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: be important as well, because they've got to settle Bonnicks

631
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: down and they've got to settle them into a rhythm

632
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: because he had a couple of pretty bad plays early

633
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: in the game. There was one they were down deep

634
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: inside Bengals territory, inside the twenty certainly, and he's leading

635
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram into the flat, into the left side flat,

636
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 3: and he cuts a throw loose way too late, and

637
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram's out of bounds by the time he even

638
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: makes the catch. They run the exact same play on

639
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: the other side. This time he cuts it loose just

640
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: right on time, and they get a short gain and

641
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: then you know, two plays later, three I think it

642
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: was two or three plays later, then he throws an interception.

643
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: He makes a bad decision. He might have had it

644
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: on the ground. Bonnicks have had it on the ground

645
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: himself if he picked it up with his legs, but

646
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: then he overthought it. You could see him overthinking it

647
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: in real time, and it's picked in the end zone

648
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: by Demetrius Knight. But the Bengals of course handed it

649
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: right back to them just three plays later. And then

650
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: this was the Bonix experience because then they get down

651
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: the field again and he hits Courtland Sutton for a

652
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: twenty yard touchdown on third and two. And it was

653
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: a great throw. It was a contested throw. It had

654
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: to be threaded correctly. He saw it well and it was.

655
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: It was right up the gut, and it was just

656
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: sort of a heartbreaker and a backbreaker if you're the

657
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 3: side of the Bengals, because then the explosives and some

658
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: catch and run and yards after catch plays by Courtland

659
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: Sutton as well, just really started to break the explosives

660
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 3: open for the Broncos, and it got Bo Nixed into

661
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: the rhythm that plus the run game that he needed

662
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: to be in.

663
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that it got Sean Payton into

664
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: the rhythm as a play caller. He's just somebody overseeing

665
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: the entire offense too, because like they're mixing in like

666
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: basically like jet sweeps around the end, and like that's

667
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: how Marvin Min scores on a sixteen yard touchdown run.

668
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: Like he had all of these different tool at his

669
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: disposal he could do. He had the full arsenal because

670
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: he also probably understood that the Bengals weren't going to

671
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: mount much resistance with the defense, which, by the way,

672
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: if we go all the way back to Week one,

673
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this for as long as they

674
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 2: struggled defensively, the defense that they thought was great in

675
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Week one was never a good defense and continues on

676
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: nights like tonight to show that they are not a

677
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: defense that is at that level that they want to

678
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: be at. And when your offense struggles like they have

679
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: been without Joe Burrow, it makes for a just a

680
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: terrible viewing experience breaks my heart for Bengals fans who

681
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: had high hopes coming in to the season, but that

682
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: too and I start feels like it was years ago

683
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 2: for how they've played over the last two weeks. I mean,

684
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: their offensive line we knew was a weakness already, but

685
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: with Jake Browning back there, this passing game is essentially

686
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: just shrunk down to seventy five percent of your attempts

687
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: are going to be goal balls down the sideline and

688
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: giving t Higgins or Jamar Chase a shot in a

689
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty ball and hoping that they come down

690
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: with it. And the worst part about tonight was that

691
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: oftentimes when they did make spectacular grabs, they were called

692
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: back by penalties, and that just points to their operational

693
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: issues and the amount of you know, mistakes that they've made,

694
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: eleven penalties accepted for sixty five yards and plenty of them,

695
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: you know, short circuiting this offense, putting them behind the sticks,

696
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: and just making it so much harder for a backup

697
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: quarterback who's behind a leaky offensive line, who operate an

698
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: offense that doesn't have much of a running game to

699
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: speak of, and situationally, they can't lean on the run

700
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: when they're down multiple scores and they're just trying to

701
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: stop the title wave that's coming at them from an

702
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: opponent that's superior to them and against the defense like

703
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: the Broncos who have a ton of aggressive pin your

704
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: ears back rushers who were going to get after the quarterback,

705
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: Nick Benito, Jonathan Cooper. You can continue to go down

706
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: the list. It just makes for a disaster scenario and

707
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: that's exactly what we got tonight.

708
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they couldn't call anything else, but you mentioned

709
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: those like longer developing plays down the sideline where it

710
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: was like, I don't think Jake Browning that you really

711
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: do have that you have the audacity to try to

712
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: make that throw every single time. I think what you're

713
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: trying to do is draw a PI like I understand,

714
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: just get it out that you have for your receivers

715
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: two of the best, one of the best one and

716
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: two tandems up there in the top three in the NFL,

717
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: maybe the best in Jamar Chase and T Higgins, And

718
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: obviously you know he hit one down the field to

719
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 3: see Higgins early in the game. But I don't believe

720
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: you have that much dip on your chip. I think

721
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 3: that that was just try to get yards however they come.

722
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: You saw, I'm trying to hard count as well. That

723
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 3: didn't work because they had a self inflicted penalty as well.

724
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 3: That was kind of questionable either way. The sun I

725
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: lifted his head up. I wouldn't maybe have called that,

726
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 3: but it was everything was going wrong, and a lot

727
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 3: of it comes from everything feels so difficult, and it's

728
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: like there's not really any adjustments, and it's not just

729
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: being in a deficit. They're in shotgun the entire time.

730
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of his dropbacks are in shotgun. And I

731
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: know they won games like that with him back in

732
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. I went back and I looked at

733
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: all the next gen splits of how much and it

734
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: was a vast majority in the gun at that time

735
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: as well. But they cannot run the ball, and they

736
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: cannot get anything going that would actually protect the quarterback,

737
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: this backup quarterback who you should not expect to be

738
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow and be back in the gun. And in

739
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: some ways, you know, everybody credited and latted Zach Taylor

740
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: for changing this offense around the first time around with

741
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 3: Jake Browning, but what I saw from this offense tonight

742
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 3: is the same problem still exists, and they compound because

743
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 3: not only can you not run the ball. Chase Brown

744
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 3: again coming into this game averaging negative yards before contact

745
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: per rush, so he's not getting any blocking help. Ten

746
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 3: carries for forty yards, and they having some type of

747
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 3: an under center play action game or even a pistol.

748
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 3: Play action and run games might have helped, and it didn't.

749
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 3: You could have still kept the quarterback's eyes on the

750
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: defense the whole time in pistol, but you can't even

751
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 3: use that as a threat because your run game is

752
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 3: so bad, and that is part of the problem. This

753
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 3: one issue has compounded in so many different areas, including

754
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: tying the backup quarterback one of his hands behind his

755
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: back and it's just bad. Like to me, I don't

756
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 3: even think you can put him in the pistol. How

757
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: the run game improves, because in some cases that would

758
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 3: keep the play action threat available to you. In this case,

759
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 3: it wouldn't because teams don't think they can run to

760
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 3: the point where they knew that the Broncos knew every

761
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: play was probably going to be a throw and they

762
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: could stop the run with the guys that they had

763
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: up front, they were dropping guys in coverage. Part of

764
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: that is they respect the receivers, the one and two

765
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 3: that they have there, and they respect and I don't

766
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 3: think it's because they respected Browning's ability to get the

767
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 3: ball to them, but certainly it's because they respect the

768
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 3: receivers themselves to try to make plays happen. And even

769
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 3: near the end, you saw they were able to start

770
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: sending more and more guys on pressures because it just

771
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 3: was they could condense and condense and condense and shrink

772
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: down because the run game was not a factor at all.

773
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 3: Even in a deficit, you still should have tried to

774
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 3: or had at least something there so you weren't so

775
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: one dimensional the entire time.

776
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think with a lopside score like this

777
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: that the pressure rate must have been sky high. For

778
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: the Broncos was thirty seven point nine percent. I mean,

779
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 2: that's good, but that's not sky high. But then again,

780
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: you must consider that the Bengals only ran forty three

781
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: offensive plays because they couldn't sustain any possessions they got out.

782
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 2: They were dominated in time of possession by nearly sixteen minutes.

783
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 2: Like there was just no life to this offense. And

784
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: it's funny because I think in common football discussions parlance,

785
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: whatever you might want to say, they always say, you

786
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 2: got to stop the run first. If you can't stop

787
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 2: the run, you can't do anything in this league defensively. Well,

788
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 2: for the Bengals already stop they can't stop. They can't

789
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 2: stop an opposing run, and they can't run the ball

790
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: at all, to the point where in a game like this,

791
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: Denver comes out and says, screw the run. We know

792
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: what they're going to try to be this with those

793
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: awesome receivers. They paid all that money to take that away,

794
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: and they're going to have, you know, no options. And

795
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 2: that's also a testament to their confidence in their defense.

796
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: But for the Bengals, I think it just starts in

797
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: the trenches. It starts in the trenches on both sides

798
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 2: of the ball. And we knew this was going to

799
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 2: be an issue, and unfortunately, once you take the magic elixir,

800
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 2: the Lynchpin, the magician with the wand Joe Burrow out

801
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: of the mix, it all kind of starts to fall apart.

802
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: So it's it's not to be all doom and gloom.

803
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: It's only week four, but I hate to say it

804
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 2: about the Bengals right now, they're just in a tough place.

805
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: And no, by the way, the schedule doesn't get any easier.

806
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: You go home and play Detroit, you go to on

807
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: the road to play the Packers, you come back home

808
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh, and then you play the Jets in week eight.

809
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: You got to get to that point in the schedule

810
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: with at least some signs of life and competitiveness or

811
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: else this is going to snowball. And if it feels

812
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: far away right now, that too, no start, it's going

813
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: to feel light years away by the time you get

814
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: to that point.

815
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could see the frustration is right at the

816
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: surface for so many people. You know, Jamar Chase and

817
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 3: Zak Taylor. There was a shot at one point cut

818
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: to them having a discussion on sort of on the sideline,

819
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 3: but a little bit away from the sideline. And you know,

820
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 3: when you start seeing the broadcast cutting to people close

821
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: ups of people's faces and sort of the blank stairs,

822
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: the thirty mile stairs, you know, it's just it's not good.

823
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: And the Bengals, they, to their credit, they did put

824
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: so much into the guys that Joe Burrow wanted, and

825
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: they worked it out with Trey Hendrickson and they figured

826
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 3: out all of these things that were such big headlines

827
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: and big issues for them. But when you live by

828
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 3: going all in around one player and then that player

829
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 3: gets hurt, this is what you also die by, and

830
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: that is what they're experiencing right now and in the future.

831
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 3: They're going to have to make these decisions about whether

832
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: living on that razor's edge is sustainable for this organization.

833
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: I don't think they're there yet. Injuries are what they are,

834
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: but this is going to be a question that as

835
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 3: these things continue to get worse. These are the questions

836
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 3: the franchise is going to ask of itself.

837
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: They're also not going to face defense with a top

838
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: tier defensive back that can shut down one of those

839
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: guys like Patrick Surtan. According to next Gen Stats, he

840
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 2: allowed one reception for eight yards across thirteen coverage matchups

841
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 2: with Jamar Chase, including zero receptions on ten matchups in

842
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: man coverage. So you want somebody to put you on

843
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: an island and shut you down. The Broncos have that

844
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: guy and they deploy him against Chase. So it's not

845
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: always going to be this difficult. There is a reason

846
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 2: to be hopeful. It is a long season. This is

847
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 2: a tough one. This was a tough one for the Bengals.

848
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: You know it wasn't tough Jordan doing the show with you.

849
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: I don't even know if we left anything out. I

850
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 2: don't know if we're supposed to say anything else here,

851
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 2: but I feel like at this point, this is where

852
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: the show ends.

853
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: Mom and dad left the house.

854
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: Here we are, kids are in charge. There's no rules.

855
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: Take all the pizza rolls out of the freezer and

856
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: put them on a tray in the oven, cook them up.

857
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: We had a great time. Shout out to Greg. You'll

858
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 2: get Greg tomorrow. No news Monday, All the news Tuesday

859
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: with Jordan, I Nick Shook, that's Jordan rod Rieg. Well, well,

860
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 2: they we'll see you tomorrow.
