Get this kid from across the water, Yes, yes. 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.680 Sir, the highest paid player and then he played. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.480 For the Dodgers, that's right, Yeah, iconic Dodgers. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:31.280 Yeah, exactly. 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:36.040 Okay, And so he is getting close, okay, going into yesterday, 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.800 he's getting close to being the first member of ever 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.920 of the fifty fifty club, right, which is fifty home 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.200 runs and fifty stolen bases? Yees season. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.400 Yes, I heard about three or four days ago they 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.240 was talking about and I was wondering, I caught the 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.960 tail end of the major league thing and it was 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.720 talking about it. Oh, he's easy. I guess something. 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.480 And so he gets to fifty stolen bases and I'm 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.480 before last. Okay, yeah, he's got that right now, he's 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.959 still two home runs away. Going into yesterday, he was 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.280 one home run away from fifty home runs. So they 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.800 get in a blowout game against the Miami Marlins. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.560 Yes, okay, he comes up in. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.720 The seventh inning and he hits the one of the 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.640 most dramatic home runs that you can imagine for his 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:23.480 fiftieth home. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.040 Run, Yes, sir, four and thirty eight feet. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:26.880 Okay, wow. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.440 And then he gets another at bat in the ninth 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.600 inning and he hits another home run. 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.160 He winds up. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.200 And earlier in the game he had two doubles and 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.320 two stolen bases. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.080 Okay, they got the. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.200 Two stolen bases got him to fifty one stolen bases. Okay, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.800 so going into yesterday he didn't have He wasn't at 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.920 fifty stolen bases either yet, Okay, so he had. In 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:55.240 the game, he goes six for six with two doubles, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:01.080 two home runs, two stolen bases, and ten runs batted 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.680 in in a twenty to four win. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:09.119 So that is the first ever in what he's just fifty. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.160 The other stuff six for six though. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:17.440 Two doubles, two home runs, two stolen back. This got 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.800 to be a first. And ten bats back and ten 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.719 runs back, it's got to be a first in all. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:27.360 I mean, you know, there was one game that you know, 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.240 a ten RBI game is very, very very rare. I 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.599 do remember Pud Rodriguez had one at Seattle game that 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.599 I did for the Rangers in nineteen ninety eight or so. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.039 Uh, and he did it in the first five. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.920 Innings of the game. Uh. And that's the only time 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.599 I can remember. But to do that when you are 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.760 approaching that fifty to fifty club and so he. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.480 Just is he in that club by himself, by him? 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.839 Yeah, there's no one who's going to not even Babe Ruth, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:57.279 yeah baby. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.599 And this guy he's not pitching this year, but this 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.040 guy all So pitches. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.320 Too, Yes he does. He's taking a year off. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.640 Because and this Yeah, so he's doing all this with 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:06.799 Tommy Johns. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.680 And he tried to hit for the cycle and he 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.720 was going for a triple and got thrown out at 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.839 third base and he had a double. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:14.240 Amazing. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:20.360 You know, in today's Major League baseball, with a home 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.839 run is everything for a kid to do. That, and uh, 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.640 it's just a great deal to see a kid that 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.200 can do it all. You know what was growing up, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.840 you probably was the best pitcher and the best hitter. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.640 His elbow gets right, he's gonna be one of the 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.880 best pitchers and one of the best hitters. It's just 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.160 good to see an old school baseball player. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.040 One thing that I like. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.599 Too is that in the seventh inning. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.760 Uh, it was a blowout game, but and the Dodgers 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.799 were way ahead. But the Marlins manager, okay, when O'tani 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.960 came up, there are runners at second and third, first 0:05:54.960 --> 0:06:00.760 base was open. Baseball strategy is okay, you walk him, right, 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.440 But he said and there they had a close up 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.400 of him and lip readers could say, could you could 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:12.440 see that. What he said was, screw this, I have 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.960 too much respect for this guy. I'm pitching to him. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.960 He pitched to him, and he too much respect for 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:18.440 the game. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:23.600 Yeah, you know, when I see greatness, and when I 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.039 hear of greatness, my hats off to it because you 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:31.120 don't get to see. And he's an everyday player. This 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.800 is correct. He's every When I do look at baseball stats, 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:40.599 he's an everyday guy and he's sprinkled all through the stats. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:41.920 And that is. 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.840 Not having said that he's primarily a d. H. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:50.080 Yeah, but he's but in the leading where he's a D. 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.719 That's what I'm saying, taking nothing away from d H. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.160 Has been along, been around hollow since three yees. So 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.880 he's an every day prayer. He does his job to 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.200 the ballpark and does his job. You don't get that 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.560 in foot football or baseball. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:14.280 The great basketball. There are certain guys that just rise 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.640 to the moment. And that's the definition of greatness in 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:18.280 any sport. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.520 It's the guy that that. 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.800 When it's all on the line, and that's one of 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.360 those moments where okay, he put it all on the 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.880 line there and he rose to the occasion. It's emmittt. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.400 Smith in that game against the Giants. You know, it's 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:38.480 that's where greatness is revealed. Reggie Jackson was like that. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.040 All time, all the time, especially in the playoffs. It 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.000 went up another And that is why I have issue 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.400 when we try to put too much pressure on these 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.600 young kids early in their career, saying who he reminds 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.800 you of? Well, he reminds me of hisself because he's 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.480 trying to build a career and I try to keep 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:02.880 everybody in order. You know, greating is it's rare that 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.760 you have a Gail Sayers who just likes the league 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.160 up in a short amount of time. It ain't a 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.000 bunch of those, you know. It's a lot of Johnny 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.360 cum latelies, but not not like that. And I agree 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:14.680 with you one hundred percent, Bill. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.800 I do. We're gonna get it back to football. 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:20.600 Okay. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.600 And Bill probably knows this, but there was a story 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:26.840 this morning in the Morning News. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:27.920 High school. 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:35.640 All right, Cedar Hill.

He used to be real, hyper 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.319 blonde hair, his short shorts. I can't think of his name. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.319 I think of his name, then she needs to call him. 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.720 He's a little old now, but he's a real enthusiastic guy, 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.680 you know, to start the morning out with exercise.

Wow. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.240 So part of the story was when she went and 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:17.360 had her first sonogram, they shocked her, told her she's 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.480 having twins, and then she went back in and they. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.800 Go one was hiding. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:27.760 I guess that was the run. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.520 You're gonna have triplets, think about that, and they're all 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.360 that big wow and last thing. So we thought it 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.920 was amazing that the Saints against the Panthers scored on 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:46.240 their first nine possessions last night. North Crowley high school 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:51.200 scored on their first ten drives. They beat Rockwall seventeen 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.040 to seventeen. 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.720 Used to be pretty and they were, they were ranked Rockwall. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:58.400 They were lost. 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.000 They lost their quarterback to Yeah. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.080 Thank you, I knew something, man, but they lost. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.400 They must have lost a lot of But I mean defense. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.440 North Crowley is the they're now I think the ranked 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.680 third in the state, eleventh in the nation. They beat 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.840 the Soto a couple of weeks ago. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.040 That's yeah, because rock Ball. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:20.520 Seventy points. 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.800 Yeah that Rockball usually don't lay down like that. 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.280 Yeah, they scored fifty some against the. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.280 So well, when Jackson Smith and Jigba played for rock Ball, 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.720 they were scoring. They were scoring seventy points or eighty 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:33.560 points every game. 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.520 And but that just caught my eye that in the 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.079 triplets and o tany, Wow. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.840 You did your high school research. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.880 Yeah, he went all out and. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.840 He's looking for Missouri recruits. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.920 Yeah, okay, we do have a football team and football 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.320 players on a football fielding the walk through as we 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.480 started this show. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.960 Walk through practice today and they're walking through, but they're 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.880 using both fields at the same time and offense on 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.480 one defense on the other. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.640 So they're doubling up on their using time wisely. Ye, 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:13.440 so that's a good thing. 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:19.040 Okay, So the injury report from yesterday when they had 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:25.800 the padded practice, you'll be glad to hear that Trayvon 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:32.480 Diggs and Ceedee Lamb both went from did not practice 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.800 to limited. He sounds like they're going to be good 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:41.480 to go. Jake ferguson limited both days, and I think 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.400 they're very encouraged that he's gonna be able to go. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.000 Mizzi Smith. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.720 Did not practice both days, but they seemed encouraged that 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:53.760 it was getting. 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.880 Better, which is a back injury. 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.200 Back injury, and it's. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.000 A good sign since Jordan Phillips had to be placed 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:07.400 on injured reserve with a wrist injury. So from a 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:13.480 injury standpoint, you know they may have everybody on deck 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:15.839 for this game. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.400 So that's a good sign. 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.440 And you expect the newly acquired off the Commander's practice 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.600 squad number ninety two, Carlos Watkins to get playing. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:28.439 Time, I would imagine. 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.000 So I would imagine he's going to be out there 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:37.720 out of necessity, right And from the Ravens side of things, 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:44.760 Nate Wiggins, their cornerback, was out with a concussion. Did 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.720 not practice on Wednesday, but was limited on Thursday, so 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.160 I would imagine. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.559 He's headed his right direction. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:57.320 The same thing with their safety Kyle Hamilton limited with 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.040 a back injury. He did not practic just the day before, 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.280 so they seem to be getting. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.760 And Nate Wiggins is their first round draft pick who 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.679 started their opener and did not play last week against 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.640 the Raiders and a loss, their second straight loss to 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.760 start the season. Okay, there you go, so we are 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.600 up to speed, up to speed what's going on there 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.440 as far as who's gonna play on Sunday? Now, how 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:25.880 well are they going to play on Sunday? 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.080 So the next question that. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.080 Got to get that defensive line going. You got to 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.800 get that offensive line going. 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:39.200 And we heard from Clarence Hill that over shown said 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.760 I will be out there, you know, when this game starts. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.280 So everybody can quit complaining that over shown did not 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.000 play enough to suit you, you know. And I'm hoping that 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.200 the guys up front will protect these young linebackers and 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.760 older guys and Kendrick, I'm I'm hoping and praying that 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.560 these guys grabs her, don't let these guys move them, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.600 you know, and so that our linebackers can be effective 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.600 as they need to be for this game. 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.960 And that's going to be the key thing that And 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:16.240 to me it's it's this game is about both lines, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:21.960 offensive line defensive because if the offensive line plays well, 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:26.960 then the running backs will run well. Yes, And as 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:32.120 you can tell, Uh, not only McCarthy, but I think 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:38.360 Jerry Jones this morning getting tired of answering the questions. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:43.520 About the running back committee and if Dalvin. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.160 Cook's going to play. What was his answer, Mick. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.560 He basically said, I'm happy with the running backs. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.480 I'm happy with what they can do. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.840 It's only two games in and we just need to 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:01.280 play better and have more be able to have more runs. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:07.800 So the thing is with this game, I looked at it. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.280 I went back and looked at the film because I 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:16.800 hate to misjudge players. All we need is time. The 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.880 left tackle played okay, you know they tell me about 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.600 the P five Okay, PFI whatever, thank you, left guard, 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.600 Pro Football Focus what we're talking about, Yeah, whatever, it's 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:35.720 supposed to be called. Left tackle played okay. The left 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:40.880 guard played nice, The center played okay, our right guard 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:46.600 played okay, our right guard player, our right tackle did not. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:52.440 And it was only in the passing situations, right. So 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.360 what we have to do with our running backs and 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.320 our offensive lines is make sure we have the right 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.160 guys lined up for the right place, regardless if the 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:06.320 defense knows it's coming. If we get Fergie back, our 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:11.040 tight ends have to become a awesome, great part of 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.160 the run game. You cannot just get in the way. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.640 You're gonna have to really stabilize your guy. I ain't 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.760 saying moving, but you're gonna have to grab him and 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.440 make sure he does not move or knock you back. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:27.440 We will be okay. If we do that. You will 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.040 have to run the ball. People saying throw at forty 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.840 fifty it's not gonna work. You're gonna have to sprinkle 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:38.240 the run. Fifteen to twenty runs. Twenty five would be great, 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.680 but you gotta sprinkle it in just to give your 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.840 guys a chance. I've always said this about our right 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:49.160 tackle and our quarterback. They're one in the same guys. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.760 They are play action past guys. So you have to 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.040 have some similars of a run, some threat of a 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.239 run for these guys to be truly sucessful. So our 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.080 right tackle has to You just can't let these guys 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.000 tee off on our right tackle, do you know, because 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.240 you're trying to help the left tackle, you can't help 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.480 both right, So the right tackle all he need is 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.919 confidence back. So we have to run just enough, and 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.160 not only for the sanctity of our offensive line, but 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.600 this is gonna help our defensive line. We gotta take 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.320 the air out of the ball. We gotta click some 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.280 time off the clock. We can't be a three in 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:32.160 out team. We need at least ten plays every time 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.760 you walk out there. Let the tenth play be a punt. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.920 Let the ninth play be a punt. But don't walk 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.080 out there and do a four in out, a three 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.159 and out, a five and out. That's given Lamar and 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.800 those guys too many options. And when you give great 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.960 athletes and great players too many options, that's when it 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.680 can hurt us. So our offense, everything is predicated off 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:57.119 our offense that can't miss it. Don't squeeze nothing in early, 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.399 throw it away, don't give them no opportus tune it 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.879 is to put that kid, Lamar Jackson on the field. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:04.640 That's just my belief, fellas. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.000 Okay, as far as the run game is concerned, did 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.239 you hear Jerry this morning on the fan, I did Okay, Now, 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:16.480 John Machoda's done a great job of transcribing what Jerry said. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.240 About the running back situation. Okay, and so. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.040 Let me read a little bit about what he has 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.760 tweeted out an hour ago about it. Cowboys owner Jerry 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.680 Jones tried to downplay any issues at running back. When 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.320 asked about Dalvin Cook potentially playing this week, he responded, 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.040 I don't know that that will happen. I must tell 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.199 you this is a little bit of a first for me, 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.560 because I've never seen such made of our position, what 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.119 we're doing at that position running back this year, not 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.280 having done this or not having done that at running back. 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.639 Both of these guys came out the same time, meaning 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.640 Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott. We've got a pretty good 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.920 contemporary of our competition this week in Zeke Elliott. Plea 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.639 with what Zeke is doing, running back is just not 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.680 on our radar as far as an area of interest. 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:12.320 So I parafaced pretty well, didn't I? And that didn't 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:17.560 please the people asking the question. By the way they 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.800 keep asking Mike about it that he keeps giving him 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:27.439 a long answer with no answer he doesn't even address it. 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:33.040 The thing, let me say this last week against the Raiders, 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.000 Derrick Henry had seven carries for five yards in the 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.679 first half of that game, and then they committed to 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.480 running the football and the third quarter of that game 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:46.359 and he wound up with eighteen carries for eighty four yards. 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.440 So his first seven carries he had five yards. And 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.280 then in the third quarter and I don't know why 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.200 they went away from him after they had a ten 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.000 point lead. In the fourth quarter, they didn't give him 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.680 the ball as much. He had eleven carries for what 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:01.480 were they be? Seventy nine yards. 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:08.600 The thing that amazes me is offensive coordinators do that 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:13.480 for some reason. You know, the head coach after normally 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.080 step in and say, hey man, you know what happened here, 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:23.120 But fortunate and unfortunate I offensive coordinator as our head coaches. 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:27.080 So now the player he has to he I'm telling you, 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.639 he has to know if I don't protect my defense 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:35.240 because there we got bruised a little bit physically and 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:39.520 mentally last week. So it's early in the season, but 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.399 our guys are kind of wounded and we have to 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.000 give them an opportunity. So you haven't heard me say 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.399 this all year, but time of possession, just to help 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:53.920 our defense is a key thing. I'm telling you, seven eight, nine, 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.840 ten plays. We have to try to help out. You 0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.800 know if we if they flip the coin, they need 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:01.879 to grab it and say heads and give it to 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.119 the ref and say we taking the ball. You know 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:08.080 what I'm saying. Don't defer, Yeah, don't defer. No, well, 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.000 don't give them a chance to get ahead of you. 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.359 And let's they add one more thing on that, because 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:16.120 they had some long nine to ten play drive. 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.000 Yes, but they kicked field goals. 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.880 Yes, gotta score touchdowns, you do. 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.680 This team ain't averaging but but twenty two points, twenty 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.560 three points a game. And I'm talking about the Ravens. 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:28.920 So they're having play, Oh they are. 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:34.760 So let's let's continue. Let's whatever teams have done in 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:38.719 this short history of two games, can we duplicate that? 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.120 Do we have the players to duplicate that? 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.120 You know, the Ravens have some of the they were 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.000 came into this season, came into the offseason with some 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.840
