1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Coming up on the Booth Review. Oh, London, that close to.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: Eight and two.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, but we have to turn the pace quickly

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 3: and get ready for the Philadelphia Eagles them Thursday night.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll share some memories, good and bad from hanging

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: out in that stadium on the Booth Review. Welcome into

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: today's edition of The Booth Review podcast, powered by Microsoft's

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Surface Powering a Better Game. I Brand Whiteside with Big Fletch,

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, London Fletcher,

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: and we haven't done this in a month. London talking

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: about a game after a lost heartbreaker yesterday.

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: Yes, it's definitely a different type of Monday coming on

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: here and talking about a hard fought game where we

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: end up coming up just short against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Man,

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: I thought we had it and you know, we were

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: in control of the game. But you can see why

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: Pittsburg is, you know, one of the best chams in

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: the NFL a year and a year out of what

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin is regarded one of the best coaches and.

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: It fail history. But I thought, I thought we let

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 4: them get away with that game.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: And you know, we're definitely kicking ourselves, and we want

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: to close that close, close out the game and win

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 3: that game.

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about the things they could control,

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: the things that they couldn't.

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 4: You work on situational football.

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure they were talking about, Hey, watch the Harcove,

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: Watch the Harcives. It was emphasized in the Halloween Day.

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: Yet you know, you're getting the heat of the moment.

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: And I'm sure Russell Wilson maybe said, you know, I

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: don't want to yell at my house as loud as

33
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: Russell probably did it. You know, different voice inflections, and

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 3: Johnny had a he had he had a middle laps

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: and end up on us lead to us not getting

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: another opportunity to to see what we can do.

37
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Honestly, I mean I was sitting there looking at you

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: the whole time, going they're not going to seriously run

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: the ball three times and then punt it back to

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels at the end of the game, Like, have

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: they not been paying attention because happened at the end

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: of the first half. Go look at what happened to

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: the Bears. Go look at what's happened over and over

44
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: and over. They were playing with fire. They got lucky

45
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: that that happened. I mean, honestly, like, I don't know

46
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: and I trust this quarterback. Which is where I feel

47
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: a little bit robbed today that in two scenarios we

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: could add if the referee spotted the ball differently, or

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: if there wasn't this penalty at the end of the game,

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: we could have seen Jaden in one of these clutch

51
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: end of game moments and we just didn't get to

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: see it yesterday.

53
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, not at all.

54
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: It didn't surprise me that Pittsburgh opted to run the

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: ball in those situations, because you know, you have two

56
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: things can happen when you.

57
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: Throw the football.

58
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: You can have an incompletion, you can have a or

59
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: an interception, you know, really even three things.

60
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 4: You can have a sack.

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: So you also don't want to have an incompletion. And

62
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: Washington doesn't have to use a timeout, so you want

63
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: to make sure they are forcing them to use their timeout.

64
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: So maybe you run it twice.

65
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: And if you're going to throw the football it's a

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: safe pass, Maybe give Russell a run pass option, get

67
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: him out of the perimeter.

68
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: You know something, something that's really safe. And stir Is

69
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: also ran for one hundred and forty yards.

70
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: So they're figuring like, hey, you know we've been able

71
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: to have some you know, some success run in the football,

72
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: so why not runners ball three times force Forest Washington

73
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: to use their timeouts. But yeah, I you know, them

74
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: get a little bit conservative. Hey Mike, Mike Taland he's

75
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: been in a lot of big games, man, and they

76
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: don't flinch it. You know that was a pair of yesterday.

77
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, I mean like, I want to get back

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: in to watching it for a moment, but since you

79
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: just mentioned it, because we now we've seen the Ravens

80
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: in person. See now Pittsburgh in person. These are legitimate

81
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: threats to get to a super Bowl this year. Pittsburgh

82
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: feels so old schoolly. We saw it on film coming in.

83
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: It's not a surprise. They're running stuff that is age old,

84
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: tried and true. This is how you win physical football.

85
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: They have a large, imposing group their tight ends or

86
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: large and imposing they're running back is kind of Derek

87
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: Henry light. They don't do anything really fancy. They run

88
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: the ball at you, they run play action off of it.

89
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: There's very little formations that for what you're going to

90
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: do defensively, you could probably be more inclined to talk

91
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: about what they do that's favorable for them and why

92
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: they're so successful. But there's something about watching this going

93
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: you know, I see all these crazy offenses and we

94
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: have one right now that's very creative and very open mind.

95
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: It does a lot of different things. These guys are

96
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: playing the sport the way it was played in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties,

97
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: tried and true. They will pound you to death. You

98
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: just have to stop it. And I do appreciate it.

99
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: And now seeing them, they're built to win. They don't

100
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: ask Russ to actually do a ton. They're an impressive

101
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: football team.

102
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now when you've been you know, the head coach

103
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: and the structure front off is they've been together for

104
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: so long they know it was much like the Patriots

105
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: from Belichick went therefore, you know on twenty two years,

106
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: however long he was there. They know what their offense

107
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: and defensive structure is gonna be. We know what type

108
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: of players we want to draft.

109
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: We continue.

110
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh has always had pass rushers, you know, going all

111
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: the way back to as early as the nineties when

112
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: when Bill Cowho was running that they're gonna run that

113
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: three four defense, has some outside linebacks and rush the quarterback.

114
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: They have a huge offensive line, big tight ends, a

115
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: big back going back to battest and whoever else you

116
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: want to plug and play at that.

117
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 4: Le'Veon veil and now Naja Harris. They're gonna pound you.

118
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: Run play action not gonna be it's not gonna be

119
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: pretty at all times. Their front seven is gonna be dominant.

120
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: They'll have you mentioned you you could have also mentioned

121
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: they got a playmaker who has the ability to make

122
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: dynamic catches as well, and George Pickens. So yeah, we

123
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: can we can run the ball on you. We got

124
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: these big tight ends, but in critical situations, if we

125
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: need to play, we can go to George Pickens and

126
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna he's the way. The majority of is.

127
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: A contested, contested catches fifty fifty balls.

128
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 3: Adding Mike Williams to that to that makes the uh,

129
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's a blueprint for success.

130
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 4: And Pittsburgh they're definitely gonna be a player in AFC.

131
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: And they're they're coming along. Washington caught them off of by.

132
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: They're getting healthier. They got They've had five different offensive

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: line combinations, nine different starters, their line's getting healthier. They

134
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: got one of their primary players back for Daryl Patterson,

135
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: who's I don't know how they're going to use him,

136
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: but he's a weapon. They finally got him back. They

137
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: found some ways to utilize him. There was a perfect

138
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: storm that was happening here because I'm going to get

139
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: into what was happening with Washington. They're off a bye,

140
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: they're very good team. They walk in, they're getting healthier.

141
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: This team is not specifically in a couple of critical areas.

142
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: This was going to be close the whole time.

143
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: And this added up to and I think really largely

144
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: the sky is not falling here. They lost not an

145
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: to a team that looks like could contend, you know,

146
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: and I know it's disappointing, but the timing of the

147
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: health relative health, especially on the offensive line and the

148
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: offensive weapons on Washington versus what Pittsburgh was bringing in

149
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: here rested there was a recipe here that this was

150
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: going to be very hard to get a win yesterday.

151
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, but you know with that with that

152
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: being said, and you you talk about you know, the

153
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: offensive live then a little banged up, and I thought

154
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: I thought Trent Scott played a really really good football game.

155
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 3: I had had a chance to watch maybe the first

156
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: half of the the game from yesterday. He did some

157
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: really good stuff. He saw his veteran savviness. They gave

158
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: him some help against t J. Watt, you know, in

159
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: moments and things like that. The b Rob miss a

160
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: b Rob. The two games where we haven't had him,

161
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: the game against the Baltimore Ravens and yesterday, those are

162
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: those are games when you're when you're playing big, physical

163
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: football teams and it's going to be a bride eye,

164
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a four fourth quarter type of game,

165
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: and you need you need to be able to run

166
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: the ball, you know, effectively and be more balanced on offense.

167
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: And you look at the game against the Ravens when

168
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: we lost to them, we only ran the ball eighteen

169
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: times for fifty two carries. Yesterday against you, yesterday against

170
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: the Steelers, ran the ball twenty two times for only

171
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: sixty yards, yet we threw it thirty four times.

172
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: Those are that's not the balance.

173
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: That's not the recipe for success and the reason why

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: we've been able to win, you know, seven games up

175
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: to this point. So getting b Rod back healthy and

176
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: whole is going to be critical for us in these games,

177
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: you know, in November and December. So having a healthy

178
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: and hole Brian Robinson Jr. And this is not a

179
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: knock against the other Backs or anything at all, because

180
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: I thought those guys you have to.

181
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 4: Have excelled or dominated their roles.

182
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: But b Robs just a different element man, different animals.

183
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: We can talk about Eckeler in a moment. I think

184
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: he's been outstanding the last couple of weeks. Yes, specifically

185
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: protection in the Giants game for sure, and then he's

186
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns. They're asking a lot of him. Now all

187
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's carrying more of a load. I

188
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: think he's been excellent the last couple of weeks in

189
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: b Rob's absence. When you go back to the Ravens game,

190
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: because the Wavens were the way they were playing run

191
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: defense at the time, I kind of had the sense

192
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: that Washington was going to throw the ball a lot anyway,

193
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: And I remember going up there and talking to you

194
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: about it, going this is the first time we're going.

195
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 2: To see a pass heavy Commander's team.

196
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Let's see how they do against a very good, contending

197
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: type team on the road where they're not gonna They're

198
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit out of their comfort zone.

199
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna ask Jane to do a lot more of

200
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: his arm than he has in the past, and they lost.

201
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: So I landed on b rob would have made them better,

202
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure it would have been a critical

203
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: difference in that one last week against the Giants, like

204
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: they were really Chris Rodriguez was outstanding, el was outstanding.

205
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: You were able to run the ball. But if you

206
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: look on the hole, and this is where.

207
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: The trouble spot was coming into this week, because the

208
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Giants don't have the rush defense that Pittsburgh does. But

209
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: if you looked on the hole, the per rush average

210
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: was down. Everything was a little bit down. All the

211
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: signs of why this team needs Brian Robinson so badly

212
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: were there and evident, and I did feel like yesterday

213
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: was the.

214
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: One of the three that he's missed.

215
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: You were going to feel his presence not being there,

216
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: and it showed with one of their roughest outings trying

217
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: to get yards on the ground yesterday.

218
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you talked about Philip presidence, and part of Philip

219
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: Presidence was Pittsburgh because we were, you know, dropping back

220
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: and passing so much. Their their defensive front four and

221
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: you know linebacks every now and they they bring their

222
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: bringing safety and nickel things like that.

223
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: On blitzes, you felt the presence and they wasn't.

224
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: They only sagged Jayden three times, but oftentimes they're present

225
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: keeping it contained.

226
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: He only runs for five yards, just not allowing.

227
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: Him to really get through things, and you know, having

228
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: to maybe deliver a throw a hair faster than did

229
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: he't want or a hair solda did het want to

230
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: because of that presence. Part of part of having a

231
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: b robbing the game also is your ability to pounding

232
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: pounding team, wear them down, slow down their pass ruts

233
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: because now they're a little bit more they're a little

234
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: bit more tired because they've been getting leaned on a

235
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: lot more. You're not allowed You're not going to tire

236
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 3: out of defense running the ball eighteen times against the

237
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens or twenty two times against the Pittsburgh Tilly.

238
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: Another thing, the element of.

239
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: Play action pass play action plass is Yeah, it's also

240
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: the it's to suck up the linebackers and safeties on

241
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: the second level, but it's also to slow down the

242
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: pass rush and when you when we had some success

243
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: moving to football. We were early down play action pass

244
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: and actually was making some great blocks and things like that.

245
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: We were able to make plays in a passing game

246
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: with Then you add v Rop to the backfield that

247
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: that defense they're gonna be, you know, a cheenly aware

248
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: of him and say, all right, we're gonna we're gonna

249
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: be gear enough to stop him in in his Russian attack.

250
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: I just you just you feel his presence. He's a

251
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: tone setter. He's he's gonna match the physicality of the

252
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: team they're playing against.

253
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: That's one of the.

254
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Really great things that's popped up here throughout this year

255
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: is all this you're gonna like the way we get down,

256
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna like the way we play. You see this

257
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: week to week with the physicality that the Commanders put

258
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: up against, especially very physical, formidable teams like Pittsburgh. But

259
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: there's just these minor differences, like when Robinson runs and

260
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: when he's out there, that per rush average just up

261
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: a yard more than what it was. Is the difference

262
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: between second and eight, second and seven to second and six,

263
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: And you know, it's a massive difference for what kind

264
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: of calls that they can make on those plays.

265
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: That's where you feel him.

266
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: It is, really it's the physicality, it's the tone, and

267
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: it is on the margins here. And I felt like

268
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 1: they were going to miss him big time, and I

269
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: think they did yesterday. And hopefully he's healthy soon, you know,

270
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if he's playing Thursday or not.

271
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's healthy soon.

272
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Augre, you know, you say second and six

273
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: and let's take it even one more down thirty two,

274
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: third one, thirty three is a lot more, a lot

275
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: of eager to converts opposed to third and eight, thirty nine,

276
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: third and six, and so yeah, we can both agreeve

277
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: that b Rob makes a big difference.

278
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: So the other thing that was, you know, unusual was

279
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: Jayden not running the ball effectively.

280
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: We haven't seen that this year now.

281
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: He only ran the ball three times, and I think

282
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: only one, if I remember right, was actually a designed run.

283
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: There were a couple of scrambles, and there was one

284
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: late where he nearly got away from an ankle tackle.

285
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was it.

286
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: But he wasn't using his legs much. So I wonder

287
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: what you saw from Pittsburgh, because he's been great at escaping.

288
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: They used the designed runs, but he's been great at escaping.

289
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: That didn't happen yesterday. So what did you see from

290
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to try to limit him a little bit?

291
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're they're extremely extremely disciplined in their rush, rush

292
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 4: lanes and integrity.

293
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: They go against Lamar Jackson twice a year, so there

294
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: they have great experience going against a quarterback who can

295
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: escape the pocket by time, and they didn't allow him

296
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: to step up in the pocket. They got great interior

297
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: pressure the outside pass rushing, whether it was TJ Wide

298
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: at Hegt. Smith, they would bring it. So they were

299
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: they were rushing hard on the outside and up the

300
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: field and that forces quarterback to step up. But you know,

301
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: Haywood and the other defensive tackers did a great job

302
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: of getting that push and sometimes they ran games things

303
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: like that.

304
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 4: So it was just wasn't it wasn't really anywhere for.

305
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: Jade to go when the when when the receivers weren't

306
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: open right away, then he tried to maybe escape him

307
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: by the time, just.

308
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: Wasn't anywhere for him to go.

309
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: As it relates to you know, there was the one

310
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: design run that you mentioned that a defensive tackle made

311
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: a great play limited Jade to two yards, because if

312
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: he doesn't make that tackle, I think Jame's gone. He's

313
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: gonna get definitely ten, maybe maybe fifteen, twenty yards and

314
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 3: you know we're probably in field.

315
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: Goal right at that point.

316
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: But the I thought the zone read option or the

317
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: read options, they did a job, nice job of just

318
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: fortun Jayden.

319
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 4: To hand that ball off.

320
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: And their linebackers were playing so fast down hell. They

321
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: they ran through gaps and sometimes they were on touch,

322
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: so they were able to handle the running backs.

323
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 4: They're telling their defensive lineman defensive.

324
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: Edge rushers, you had the quarterback, and they had a

325
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: great defensive plan and they executed it.

326
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: And this is another one that leans back on b

327
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: rob a little bit. This is one of those moments

328
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: where I don't know if Pittsburgh would have defended, especially

329
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: in the zone reads up a little bit differently if

330
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: it's Robinson back there as opposed to what was happening.

331
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: But we'll just have to see. The Other thing that

332
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: was really noticeable early and we were almost like laughing

333
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: about it in the booth, is that he's been so

334
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: precise Jayden, like almost amazingly to this point.

335
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: In my career still being a rookie.

336
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: The fact that he wasn't early in the game and

337
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: at other certain points, and there were some drops too

338
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: that occurred. But ye, his lack of pinpoint precision was

339
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: striking yesterday, which is if this is what a bad

340
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: game looks like for him, we're an incredible shape with him, right,

341
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: But that was like what really stood out, I think

342
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: to us, we were so accustomed to seeing him thread

343
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: the needle and be so accurate and so precise. It

344
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: was surprising to not see it that way specifically early

345
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: in the game.

346
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right.

347
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: And I went back and you know, I'm definitely looking

348
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: you know, what was going on in the passing game.

349
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: There was there were some ties where the I think

350
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: the first third down play to he tried to get

351
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: to the kids as the kids is running over what

352
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: we call a little whip rout or snag route, and

353
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 3: he's working away from the defense and Jaden is getting

354
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: pressure and he couldn't. He had to get it out

355
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: a little bit faster than he wanted to, and he

356
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: tried to. He was throwing the ball outside of the defender,

357
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: but because he had had to let it go ahead

358
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 3: faster than sooner than he wanted to. The kids wasn't

359
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 3: out of his break enough so that you know, the presence,

360
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: the pressure of.

361
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: The defense of the Pittsburgh steel has played a part

362
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: of them.

363
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: There were a couple of times where he tried to

364
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: hit some some like uh some home routs in the

365
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 3: middle of the field, and he's trying to hit him

366
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: between two defenders, and sometimes he's trying to keep protecting

367
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: the receiver from taking a big hit, so he's maybe

368
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: trying to get the receiver trying to stop him. Receiver

369
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: him won on the same pace, so the receiver maybe

370
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 3: you know, continue to go in the balls behind him,

371
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: but Ja is trying to keep him by the hard way,

372
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: so they weren't totally on the same phase. There's and

373
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: Jayden was an accurate on a couple of other throws.

374
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: That the the one that he missed Luke McCaffrey that

375
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 3: would have been a big play. So you know, we

376
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 3: just we have growth so accustomed of him being so accurate.

377
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: It was was like, man, you know. But he also

378
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: made the great throw to carry down the sideline, and

379
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: he has some really nice throws.

380
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about the offensive line Andrew Wiley

381
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: didn't play yesterday. He was active, but he didn't play.

382
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and talked to us after the game about

383
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: how and this falls in line with the way that

384
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: they've treated all the players, which is we're going to

385
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: do what's best for them, even if it's not what's

386
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: best for us in the moment, you know, when push

387
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: comes to shove. This is week eighteen. I wonder if

388
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiley is playing in the game where they have

389
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: to win. But we'll get there when we get there.

390
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: But they haven't pushed Brian Robinson. They didn't rush Marshaw

391
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: Lattimore back. I know they want to have him, you know,

392
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. They've done this with a number

393
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: of other players with the very careful about it. But

394
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line, they're in survival mode right now. We've

395
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: reached that point in the season where they're fighting through it.

396
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Lucas wasn't available. Colvid's been injured twice already this year.

397
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: Was we saw it on the like fighting through it.

398
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: He played the whole game. Biaddish ended up going out

399
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: for the early drive of the second half, but came

400
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: back in fighting through it. We know Allegretti's fighting through

401
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: injuries right now, and they were down to what really

402
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: is a third right tackle for them, because Lucas would

403
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: be a swing tackle on the right side.

404
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: Right he would be the guy available.

405
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: So they're surviving right now. So I mean, how do

406
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: you kind of see where the line is at this point?

407
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: You know what?

408
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: That's injuries and attrition that that happens in the national

409
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: football They got big, they've done it where when you

410
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: think back to off season, pre season things like that,

411
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: where the question mark there was a huge question mark

412
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: about the offensive line.

413
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: This offensive line has played out stadium.

414
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: As I mentioned, I thought tre Church Scott played a

415
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: really good football game.

416
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 4: He had maybe I think a late he had a.

417
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 3: Late pressure, a lot of late pressure t J Watt,

418
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: you know, late in the game. But you're not gonna

419
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: pick the shut out against TJ.

420
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: Why.

421
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I don't care. I don't care who you

422
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 4: are the The injuries is just a part of it,

423
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 4: and you're probably right.

424
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: Maybe if it's week eighteen, Wiley plays, I don't know

425
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: how much of a factor, knowing that we got a

426
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: division game coming up on third in a factor and

427
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: where at his you know, because he's been so honest

428
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: with us saying, hey, we're always gonna put the players interests.

429
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: Ahead of us.

430
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: And if he felt like Wiley could not play, it

431
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: wasn't not ready, it didn't It didn't do them any justice.

432
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: Or we've been doing the player of disservice by putting

433
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: him out there. They're not gonna do it, not gonna

434
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 3: do it, regardless of what's on the lines. You mentioned

435
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: Marshall Latimar with his b Rob Marshall Latamar. Yeah, this

436
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: is a big game. But if you can't, we're going

437
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: to arm you. We're not gonna put you out on

438
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: that football field. And that's the way it is that.

439
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: You know, as far as the offensive line, how many

440
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 3: had he had to rush Mominson yesterday's game, those those

441
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: age rushers, Uh, you know, high school gave me, gave

442
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: some tough rushes and but hey, to learn, it's a

443
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: learning moment. You got great failm Now, Hey, these are

444
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: some of the things. As he's continued to learn these

445
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 3: different pass uses in the National Football League, he'll be

446
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: better because.

447
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 4: Of the experience he had yesterday.

448
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: You know, there were a couple of years ahead of

449
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: us Detroit, but I watched them last night after they,

450
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, beat Houston in a game they had no

451
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: business winning.

452
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: They're on the road, they're.

453
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Making mistake after mistake after mistake, they're down sixteen and

454
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: a half. They threw five interceptions, like they showed, say

455
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: flashed some number where no team is won trailing by

456
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: that many points and throwing that many.

457
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 4: Then say through five interceptions.

458
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: Right, five interceptions if fifty years okay, and they go

459
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: down there and they come back and they win.

460
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 4: Right.

461
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: So I look at yesterday with Washington, and I don't

462
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: know that we know the full character longevity, but that

463
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: is as character win as you're gonna get. What Detroit

464
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: did last night. I think it's very telling about Houston too,

465
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: But like it's a character when it shows you what

466
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: they're made of, that they're never going to quit, that

467
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter when things go the wrong way.

468
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 2: Chris Collinsworth was on the air.

469
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: Going, this is good either way because playoff games, bad

470
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: things happen. Can you recover from it when you play

471
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 1: a good team in January when you have to, And

472
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: they just showed last night they're capable of it. This

473
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: team with the injuries they had. This was not timed

474
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: up well, this was a perfect storm. That's a really

475
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: good team. They showed up here way more healthy than

476
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: they've been. They're coming off a bye. This team made

477
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes. They muffed a punt, They had

478
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: these penalties that attributed to scoring drives along the way,

479
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: and in the end, they were a spot away from

480
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: maybe winning anyway. They were a defensive penalty away late

481
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: from maybe winning anyway. They had a couple of drops

482
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: from maybe winning anyway. There's no skyfalling here like that was.

483
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: They showed a tremendous amount of character based on relative

484
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: health at key positions against a team that's coming off

485
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: a break. I gotta tell you, like I am, they've

486
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: caught a bad week to be in the situation that

487
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: they're in. They could use a buye really really badly.

488
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: But I do really appreciate that they were right there,

489
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: and it's too bad that it didn't go the right way.

490
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: But this is what it reminded me of watching the

491
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: Lions last night. There's character here like this could have

492
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: spun out the wrong way based on all of those conditions,

493
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: and it didn't, and they could have would have should

494
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: have won anyway.

495
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't make excuses.

496
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: They talk about, you know, rolling with a deep proof

497
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 3: and the whole adage cliche, next man up, But that's

498
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: that's really it.

499
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 4: And you know, you you have guys.

500
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 3: I was I think I was listening to our interview

501
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 3: with Chris Rodriguez the other day and they were they

502
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 3: were talking about how one of the somebody had called,

503
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: you know, was telling the practice squad players, hey, what

504
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: time they work out lift was going to be? And

505
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: d Q says, you know, don't don't call a practice squad,

506
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: Like we're not gonna we don't.

507
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 4: Call him that. This is all one group.

508
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 3: Seventy guys, And just the mentality like, hey, you're yeah,

509
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: you're not on the fifty three man active roster, but

510
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: you are part of this seventy man roster.

511
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: And when your numbers called, go produce.

512
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 3: And Chris Rodriguez did it last week against the against

513
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: the you know, New York Giants. Tren Scott I felt like,

514
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: I said, he played a heck of a well football

515
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: game man going against one of the premier pass rushers

516
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: in the NFL. And and and you know, just that's

517
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 3: just a part of it. Yeah, we would love we

518
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: would love a buy at this point in time, but

519
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: that's not the reality. Steel got to continue to grind out.

520
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: The game is still going to be played on Thursday night.

521
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: Whether b Rob plays or whether Marshall Lattimore plays, whether

522
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: Wiley plays, or anybody else who's be honest plays, you

523
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: know it's.

524
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 4: Going to be played. So whoever's out there wearing that

525
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 4: w wear that burgundy and gold.

526
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: Or burgundy and white, whatever we're gonna wear, we're going

527
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 3: to be expected to play. They're going to be expected

528
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 3: to play well, and we're going to be expected to

529
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 3: go in there and win that football game.

530
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about one other trend with you that I

531
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: want to see where you've landed on it and how

532
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: you think it can be reversed as we head into

533
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: this critical part of the season here where where they're

534
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: vying for the playoffs.

535
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: And maybe more division.

536
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: You know, obviously this game Thursday is enormous as they

537
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: head towards the idea of being the NFC swinner this year.

538
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: Three weeks in a row, they shut out the Bears

539
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: in the first half, gave up fifteen second half points

540
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: against the Giants, had a nice lead, never was really

541
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: felt in any kind of danger, but gave up two

542
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns late, including one really late that it a game,

543
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: and then yesterday against Pittsburgh similarly gave up late scores,

544
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: big plays, one late in the game. They're giving up

545
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: a lot of points in the second half and they've

546
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: been you know, this is a team that's gotten better

547
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: and better and better metrically on defense, but the points

548
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: are what matters. And this is three weeks in a

549
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: row in the second half where they're giving up some points.

550
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: So like, what are you seeing in the second half

551
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: that maybe this team can kind of like close some

552
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: of these whatever loopholes are going on out there to

553
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: try to limit some of the scoring against them.

554
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: You know, everybody goes into halftime and they make their adjustments,

555
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: you know, on both sides of the ball. And when

556
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: you've had success against a team like we had success

557
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 3: on teams in these first half of the game, seems

558
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: like these other teams are making their adjustments and we

559
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 3: may not, I won't say make our adjustment. We may

560
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 3: not play certain things the same way or play it

561
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: as well as we would have like.

562
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: To the Pittsburgh's doings.

563
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 3: Man, I looked at this, I had it on my

564
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: chart from yesterday and I just looked at Pittsburgh Steelers

565
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 3: were out scoring teams one hundred and twenty one to

566
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: forty five in the second quarter.

567
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: I mean in the second half the NFL best they

568
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 4: were plus seventy six points in the second half. Nobody

569
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 4: in the national foot the ball league put up points

570
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: the way the Pittsburgh steel is doing.

571
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: You know part of that, Hey, can we play a

572
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: little bit better complimentary football things like that. The there

573
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 3: was a bust of coverage, I want to call it

574
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: a bunch of coverage. We allowed their back warn to

575
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: get out on the third eight situation. They end up

576
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: he gets twenty nine yards. They after we opened the

577
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 3: first half with they opened the second half with a touchdown.

578
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 4: The very next series for Pittsburgh.

579
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 3: We allowed them to get seven points and they converted

580
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 3: a third and eight. You know when we kind of

581
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: lost track of the running back for twenty nine yards.

582
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: I think there was another Oh it was a got

583
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: them in second and twenty Allow Pikets to make a

584
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: convert that for a first down. Mistag with things like that.

585
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 3: So need to be better on the tacklers in that situation.

586
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 3: Need to be a more way of the running back

587
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: on that situation. So those are the things that you got.

588
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 3: You have to focus and do all the things the

589
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 3: right way for sixty minutes and obviously we got to

590
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: do a better job.

591
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: In the second half. We're doing those things.

592
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to make this a Pittford show,

593
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: but they're they're built to win. Like they got a

594
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: running game that's going to travel, They're gonna be able

595
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: to play in cold weather.

596
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: They're a very physical team.

597
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: They're very good upfront on both sides of them all

598
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: like they got a tough team.

599
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: But here's here's the thing, not asking a lot of.

600
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: That quarterback, like like they don't they don't even need

601
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: him to make a bunch of big plays for them

602
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: to be successful and in very tight, physical games.

603
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, bram As, as you say, you know, Pittsburgh

604
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 3: built to win.

605
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: But I look at that.

606
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: I look at the third and eight conversion and also

607
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: as second and twenty conversion, where in my opinion, just

608
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 3: Burg didn't earn those plays that they've made.

609
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 4: That's on us. We didn't get enough.

610
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: Depth depth on the on the second to twenty play

611
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: allowed you know, a window for for him to be

612
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: able to throw that that that ball to to pick

613
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: it and we lost track of the running back on the.

614
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 4: Third eight situation. Those weren't Pittsburgh, you know, earning something,

615
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: earning those plays. That's on us. That's on us. We

616
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 4: got to own that. And this is tell the truth Monday.

617
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about some of the defensive players

618
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: second straight week. Jeremy Chinz been everywhere, So dah did

619
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: you tackle? Second straight week? Got to pick on a

620
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: bad throw by Russ Slape and made the play, got

621
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: the fumble recovery. Great play Kwon Martin at the goal line.

622
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: To see it goes back to again, Pittsburgh could have

623
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: scored more in the second half. That was a great

624
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: defensive play at the one, right at the one, ye're

625
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: driving Chid's there like a couple of weeks ago, Joe,

626
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: what Junior said, we need to send him more was

627
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: the way he put it. And they've unlocked him the

628
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. He has been everywhere for them.

629
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're absolutely right, and they it was similar

630
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 4: to to.

631
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: Kind of the game plan how they deployed him in

632
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: this game against the Steelers, closer to the line of scrimmage,

633
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: sitting on blitzes, being he's been very active in the

634
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: run front, and for him maybe it was him also

635
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: getting used to be more acclimated with this scheme that

636
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: he's playing. This is his first year in this scheme,

637
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: so you know, initially maybe the first four or five

638
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: six games, kind of feeling your way through the through

639
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: the scheme, getting more comfortable and when you could take

640
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: your shots and you know, your responsibility and all those

641
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 3: types of things, how you fit the communication pieces and

642
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: things like that. I think Joe Whitt was saying he's

643
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 3: wanting him to be a leader more and vocal a lot,

644
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: be more vocal on the back end because he's a

645
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: quiet guy, but really putting pressure on him to hey,

646
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: we need you to be a municated back there.

647
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: And with with with a lot.

648
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: Of guys, I forcing him to communicate more it allows

649
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 3: them to really rise to the occasion.

650
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 4: The reception that you that he had on Russell Wilson, Yeah,

651
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 4: it was a it.

652
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: Was an overthrown ball, but the range that Chen showed

653
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: to go out and make that catch and and making

654
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: that catch that was an outstanding catch man. Yeah, you're

655
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: you're you're spot on with him just really being being

656
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: just all over the football field, and you know, that's

657
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: a that's something we we we thought we were getting

658
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: and we're we're happy that he's he's doing those types

659
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: of things.

660
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: Uh, the other guy stands out to me again, and

661
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: we're feeling his presence every week. It's Frankie Luvu had

662
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: a sack. They're using him in many, many different ways.

663
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: They're very creative with him and how they try to

664
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: get him to make impact plays. It's interesting.

665
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: I rewatched the Giants.

666
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: Game that the Commanders played a couple of weeks ago

667
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: and to get ready, you know, obviously to take on

668
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: them and or take on the Steelers, just to rewatch,

669
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: and it was it was interesting, like there were some

670
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: mistimed or misread moments that involved him where he was

671
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: running around the edge and they were running a run play.

672
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: So either this was just kind of a mistimed call

673
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: or the formation was a change up by the Giants.

674
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: I'd have to ask the coaching staff that kind of

675
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: fooled them a little bit. This week was different.

676
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: The energy was there at the appropriate moments, like we

677
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: saw him and you.

678
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: Felt his presence.

679
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: Because maybe this does go back to Pittsburgh at fooling

680
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: you with what they're doing. They're gonna line up and

681
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: they're going to do exactly what they've done.

682
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: They're just daring you to stop it.

683
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: And I did feel Luvu's presence again in a variety

684
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: of different ways.

685
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

686
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: Now the the Pittsburgh too is I'm sure they had

687
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: a lot of tendencies based on personnel groupings down in

688
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 3: distance where they add on the on the field position.

689
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: And with that, that's when you're getting getting your call,

690
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 3: your game plan together, your call sheet together. You have

691
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: a team who maybe it's called it eighty percent run

692
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: in this situation or an eighty percent pass in this

693
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: situation based on personnel down editions formation. So you use

694
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 3: all those different tip bits and nuggets and you get

695
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 3: on the field and like when you got so there's

696
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 3: sometimes when you get one hundred percent deals like this

697
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: is a one hundred percent what they do in this

698
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 3: situation with this personnel grouping at this part of the.

699
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 4: Field or wherever.

700
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: So when you get those type of things and you

701
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 3: got a certain call teed up, you doing it. If

702
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: they do something differently, they just got you. But you go,

703
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: you go play the play. The data is what they'd

704
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: like to call it.

705
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: The data. Yeah, but no, Frankie, Frankie. Frankie's being Frankie was.

706
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: He was more impactful, like you said, in this ball

707
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: game as opposed to we felt his presence more in

708
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: this game as opposed to last week.

709
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 4: To get some giants. The guy that I thought played

710
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: extremely well. And I don't know.

711
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: If you saw this as well or had a chance

712
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: to really dig into it. The rock pay hey hey

713
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: played in I'll stand this football game. He didn't, you know,

714
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: get the sacks the sack U. I don't even know

715
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: how any tackles he had. But when I say he was,

716
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: he played a mouster game, just set in. They had

717
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 3: him play a deepensive end three technique nos.

718
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 4: All, I mean shade he put. He lined up all

719
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: over the field.

720
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: And he was controlling people, destroying blass, taking on double teams,

721
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: getting off of getting off, getting off blocks, making tackles,

722
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: create a push in the pocket.

723
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 4: Things like that. Man, he played a phenomenal game.

724
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean last year, like you remember, they started moving

725
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: him around late and people don't remember it because the

726
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: record was what the record was, and people were paying

727
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: attention to the little things. But they had moved him

728
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: outside last year totally re energized him, and in the

729
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: second half of the season he really turned it on

730
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: at all those different positions. And this is all new

731
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: defense for him too, And we're moving him around a

732
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: little bit. And I agree with you. I was gonna

733
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: mention him that he really stood out. It's a very

734
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: good sign if they're going to get the best to

735
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: him now moving forward. He needs your best players to

736
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: win in the end, in the critical games. He is

737
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: one of their best players. And I felt his presence too.

738
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you. And there's something about moving him

739
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: around a little bit that seems to kind of energize him.

740
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it probably forces him to I'm gonna be able

741
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: to and then sometimes it might be hey, this the winkly.

742
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 3: We want to get you rushing against him, you know,

743
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 3: things like that. So it similar to think about about

744
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: what they've done with with Jeremy chan bringing closer to

745
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, sitting on Bliss is a lot more,

746
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: you know, those types of things kind of getting him

747
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: involved early in the game. So with a guy like

748
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: the pay he goes into the game knowing, hey, I'm

749
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of multiple positions will get opportunity

750
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 3: to go against his tackle.

751
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 4: I mean, h Pittsburg's their left their left tackle. Maybe

752
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: it was Ty. I think it was their left tackle.

753
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 3: He tried to try to block Paint on the run

754
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: player page suns stud him up, got it, got him

755
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: with one arm, just hold of destroyed, gets rid of him,

756
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 3: and makes a tager for no no Gay. So that

757
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 3: was the type of thing that he could do.

758
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: One other name I want to bring up because he

759
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: didn't make his debut, and I know everybody's hopeful that

760
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: Marshaun Latimore was going to play sooner rather than later

761
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: when they acquired him at the trade deadline. He had

762
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: missed the last Saints game that he was a part

763
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: of because of a hamstring injury that was a carryover,

764
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: and that's the reason why he did not play this

765
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: past weekend. So with the quick turnaround, until we hear

766
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: from Dan Quinn, et cetera, we don't know if he's

767
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: available or not. And so I go into this saying,

768
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: I don't know whether he's playing Thursday or not. We're

769
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: gonna find out very soon because they're gonna have to

770
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: put out an injury report on Tuesday. So we're gonna

771
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: find out very soon, whether he's able to go or not.

772
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: I would just say this because I know a lot

773
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: of people saw some big plays, especially late, and are

774
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: screaming for we need him on the field, we need

775
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: him on the field. I would advocate not to rush him.

776
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: Like the point of getting him in here is for

777
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: the long term. The last thing you'd want to do

778
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: is stick him out there marginalized and have him exacerbated

779
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: and defeats the purpose of getting him in the first place.

780
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: So I hope he can play, and maybe he can,

781
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: and this is a moot point, but if it isn't,

782
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: I would advocate, don't fall under the pressure and this

783
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: coaching step hasn't the whole time to put him out

784
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: there because you feel like you need him against AJ

785
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: Brown on Thursday. I think you wait till he's ready

786
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: to and then you unleash him on this defense. I

787
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you feel the same way.

788
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 4: Oh, they're not. He's not playing until we can wish.

789
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 4: We hope.

790
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: You know, whether you're a fan, whoever you may may be,

791
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: he may even want to play, but unless he is

792
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: one hundred percent and he can fully you know, play

793
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 3: at the level that he's to play like ron fuol

794
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 3: speed and changing direction, all those types of things with

795
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: hamsterring injuries.

796
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 4: Unless you feel like you can fully.

797
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 3: You know, let it all go, let it fully loose,

798
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: especially playing that type of position where you're gonna have

799
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 3: some you know, thirty forty fifty yards sprints, chasing covering

800
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: receivers down the fielding and you're doing this for sixty minutes,

801
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: for sixty seventy plays in the ball game. If they

802
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: don't feel like he can do that fully, he's not

803
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 3: going to touch that field. But in Thursday night, next

804
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: next game against who we play, the Cowboys or whoever

805
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: we're playing. And you know, so I'm not When he's

806
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: out there, I'll be happy. But until then, I'm not

807
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: gonna I'm not gonna concern myself with it.

808
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: All right, So let's let's turn the page here. You

809
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: had to do this before this Thursday thing has become

810
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: the norm.

811
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 2: It's tough, gotta.

812
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: Go on the road, difficult opponent, Yes, big game here,

813
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: and you got to turn the page on what is

814
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: a heartbreaking loss. So what's Monday in the building for

815
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: the locker room as they try to get rid of

816
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: yesterday and move on, really, really really quickly.

817
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's tough, especially when you when you're

818
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 3: dealing with the loss. You know, you got to kind

819
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: of put that family to bed. You know, the different

820
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 3: things that that you could have done better. So you

821
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 3: have to have those meanings. You have to have you

822
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: tell the truth Monday and go through that. But then

823
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 3: you're now it's time to also switch gears to get

824
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: ready for the Philadelphia Eagles. A lot of times when

825
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: you haven't lost, the best thing about it is, man,

826
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 3: I get to go out and play on a Thursday night.

827
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 3: I don't have to sit around and wait until Sunday.

828
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 3: So having that short week is actually a benefit. When

829
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 3: you're coming off for loss. It's say, go be a

830
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: how can you get your body, you know, ready to

831
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 3: play on on on Thursday night? And depending on you

832
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 3: know where you're at in career, how many how many

833
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 3: STAPs you've had on your body, That process may be

834
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 3: been longer for others and it could be different for others.

835
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 3: But doing all the things you need to do to

836
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 3: recover and get yourself ready for that that Thursday night game,

837
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 3: it's it's more difficult on a team that's traveling because

838
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: you got to go through that part of you know,

839
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: short we've traveled and the very great thing is not

840
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: a it's not a long flight to to Philly, but

841
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 3: it's still you know, has another element to that, uh,

842
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 3: that Thursday night game. But you know, you can turn

843
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: the page and you start preparing for Philadelphia today and

844
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: they'll start looking at you know, looking at that field today.

845
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: Big difference obviously with them is Saquon Barkley now being

846
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: in that uniform. I don't know how much you've seen

847
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: of their rush offense, which has been formidable with running

848
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: backs that clearly aren't as good as him. He's a

849
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber player. He did the ridiculous backwards

850
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: leap frog. Honestly, when their offense wasn't really going going

851
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: early in the season. He was the reason why they

852
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: were winning games by being prolific on the ground. So, yes,

853
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: how do you think about Saquon in that offense?

854
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 3: Man, it's almost not fair said, it's similar to we

855
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 3: did the Baltimore game when it was talking about you know,

856
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 3: the NFL allowing Derrick Henry to join the Baltimore Ravens offense,

857
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 3: and Lamar Jackson done the same fair but.

858
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 4: Same similar situation.

859
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 3: When you think about Philadelphia's you know, over the last

860
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: few years, they've had the best, if not.

861
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 4: The best, one of the best offensive lines in football.

862
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 4: And I know Jason Kelsey.

863
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 3: Had retired with the senator they got now I think

864
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 3: his name is Jerkison if I'm if I'm mistaken.

865
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 4: If memory served is correct, they haven't missed a beat.

866
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Jaalen Hurts a little bit. A

867
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: few years ago, Zone reid was the dangerous thing that

868
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: they had with him. He was an expert at it

869
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: and was killing people. They've got away from that. Only

870
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: they can really answer this. Some people think it was

871
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: maybe too many hits. His knee wasn't, you know, as

872
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: strong as it was specifically a year ago. He don't

873
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: see a lot of that kind of running from him,

874
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: but he is dangerous. How do you think about Hurts

875
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: now at this stage of his career.

876
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: I think they'll have to be strategic and he'll have

877
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 3: his moments where he'll he'll keep it because you know,

878
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: even if he's running it, let's call it two, three,

879
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: four times a game with those zone reads, we have

880
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: to prepare defensively for that. It's it's just how it is,

881
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: and that's how it goes. We have to spend a

882
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 3: little bit of time of of you know, prepared for that.

883
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 3: They may go in there with similar type of game

884
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 3: plan with that that the Pittsburgh News had against us. Hey,

885
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 3: we're going to maybe attack our attack the attack Saquon

886
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 3: and on his own read and force first to keep

887
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 3: the ball. You kind of pick your poison. Would you

888
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 3: rather than have safe running the ball? Who would you have?

889
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 3: Whether I have hurt? I think the answer is I'd rather,

890
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: you know, hurts to keep the ball. So I'm gonna

891
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 3: be tackling going right at the safe part in any

892
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 3: potential read option type plays, and you know, and and

893
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: when he when he does run rally and making tackles

894
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: limit those games.

895
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 4: A J.

896
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: Brown A J.

897
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: Brown is my opinion, one of the top five best

898
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL right now. Been a major problem

899
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: for this team over the last few years since he's

900
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:30,479
Speaker 1: showed up there.

901
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 2: How are you thinking about A J. Brown Thursday night?

902
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 3: Well, I'm thinking about you know, we'll definitely deploy a

903
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 3: different defensive strategy.

904
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 4: I believe Joe Wick Jr. Dan Quinn, they know.

905
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 3: The Philadelphia Eagles, they They've had battles with this this

906
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 3: team against Jayleen, you know, Jalen Hurts and and and

907
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: a j. Buck Brown and Smith, so they know they

908
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: noticed these wide receivers for them, they don't have a

909
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 3: plan thet know how to do how to deal with them,

910
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: you know.

911
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 4: So I'm not I don't feel like.

912
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 3: It would be a similar type of results or type

913
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 3: of games that AJ has had in the past, just

914
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: because of maybe, let's say the defensive strategies will be

915
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 3: vastly different.

916
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 4: Have a good point.

917
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: We both have a lot of homework to get ready

918
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: for these games, and in these short weeks, it's tough,

919
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, to turn around and like I typically just

920
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: want to get ready for the team and the here

921
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: and now.

922
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: But throwing on a.

923
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,959
Speaker 1: Couple of those Cowboys Eagles games from a year ago

924
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: might be very instructive to figure how were we actually

925
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: thinking about dealing with them? How did Dallas deal with

926
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: them a year ago? I might have to go take

927
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: a look at that.

928
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's definitely worth worth looking at it. And

929
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure.

930
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 3: The the the Eagles, they may they don't probably look

931
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: at it.

932
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 4: A little bit, but you know, they have enough.

933
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 3: They have they'll have ten games of our defense with

934
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 3: with Joe wid Junior it leading the charge. But if

935
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 3: you any opportunity or edge or advantage you think you

936
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: can have, it would be who you not to go

937
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 3: back and look at that those games and hey, how

938
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 3: did they do how did they how did they find

939
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 3: the defend the zong reads? How do they match up

940
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: with the receivers? Did they lean a safety over the

941
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 3: top of Brown? Did they how did they cover Smith?

942
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 3: Those types of things, So you know, it's it makes

943
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: sense for you to go back and look at those

944
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: things and just to kind of get an idea of

945
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 3: what that what that game plan could potentially look like.

946
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna be an interesting one too. I mean,

947
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: obviously we've been part of these last couple of years

948
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: where they've been extremely physical, very close games between these

949
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: these two teams. This is going to be interesting this

950
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: time around. This is a whole new group Jaman Daniels

951
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: and company. They haven't been on a losing streak yet.

952
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: They have not lost to in a row to anybody.

953
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: Daniels we saw him in the locker room. He does

954
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: not like losing. He said that Tess conference where someone

955
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: asked them abou it and he just didn't even know

956
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: what to say other than just to say, I really

957
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: don't like losing. You could feel this in this locker room.

958
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 1: We were in there when Sam Cosmy spoke, but heard

959
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,479
Speaker 1: about it that he got up and spoken. He's someone

960
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: who's really eloquent, great guy, but doesn't do a lot

961
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: of that, so he felt compelled to get up and

962
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: say something as a leader on the team. I think

963
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: I liked what they said after the Baltimore loss, which

964
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: was the last one that they've had, and I like

965
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: what I'm hear coming out of this one. I think

966
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: it's a tall task, it's a turnaround, tough place to play,

967
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: very good team. A lot of injuries at the wrong

968
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: time for this team that I don't like that adds

969
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: up to this is going to be tough. But I

970
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: like what I hear and the mentality that they're bringing

971
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: to all of this as they head into what is

972
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: going to be a this is this you know, they

973
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: go up there and win, everything is back on the

974
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: table again for them.

975
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

976
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 3: Now, bram, as you were talking, I wouldn't looked at

977
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 3: the box score from from the Eagles Cowboys game last night.

978
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 3: They heard rushed the ball seven times for fifty six

979
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 3: yards and two touchdowns.

980
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: I didn't I didn't look at the game look at

981
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 4: the game.

982
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: I was still kind of licking my wounds from yesterday's

983
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 3: lost to to the Steelers. Yeah, he ran the ball

984
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 3: seven times and fifty six yards and had two rushing TVs.

985
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 4: A J.

986
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 3: Brown five receptions for one hundred and nine yards. So

987
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 3: you know, the problems are the problems. We'll have to

988
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 3: I'm sure will have a great player ready to deal

989
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 3: with those guys and see how how Philadelphia response to that.

990
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: So, like, I'm not in the business of counting anybody out,

991
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: but the Giants just lost in Germany either two and eight.

992
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: Washington's already swept them, They've already lost one to the Eagles.

993
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: They would take a miracle for them to get back

994
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: into any kind of discussion about a race. Dallas is

995
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: really going the wrong way, Dak's going on. I are

996
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: their media.

997
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 2: Is just.

998
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: Hear is so off about them that for them to

999
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: kind of turn this around and be a factor again

1000
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 1: for a division race feels unlikely. At this point.

1001
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 2: They've been blown out at home.

1002
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: Someone told me some number that they're like minus one

1003
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: ten in point differential at home this year, Like they've

1004
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: been blown out over and over and over at home.

1005
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's hard to figure without Dak, especially that

1006
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: they'll turn it around, turn it around. This two team race,

1007
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's where we are right now, two team

1008
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: race for this division, and meeting one of two is

1009
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. As you think about what

1010
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: is now going to be the last seven games of

1011
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: the season, two of them against them, what is the

1012
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: difference for Washington to be a division winner, let alone

1013
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: a wild card playoff.

1014
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 2: Team this year.

1015
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be.

1016
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 5: I was playing the time of football we played to

1017
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 5: win those seven seven games, having an outstanding run game

1018
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 5: and being more battles on offense, not being and so

1019
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 5: relying in the passing game.

1020
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 3: You know, just obviously having getting a healthy b Rode

1021
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: will make a difference. Defensively, we can't have the penalties

1022
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 3: that that hurt us. We can't have allowed teams to

1023
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 3: you know, drive ninety yards, have these long long drives

1024
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: against us. Have to limit explosive plays not allowed, you know,

1025
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 3: especially thinking about the Eagles, because we've got two games

1026
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 3: against them, not allowing their wide receivers to to have big,

1027
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 3: you know, chunk yards plays, dealing with Saint Kwon Barkley.

1028
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 4: We got to be we got to be great to

1029
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 4: run defense could be for us.

1030
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 3: One of those games won't be any different than the

1031
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 3: recipe has for us.

1032
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 4: One of the games we've already won.

1033
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: They've got the schedule gets favorable after this one. Let's

1034
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: see if they go up there and win it. They've

1035
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,479
Speaker 1: got two more home games before the bye week, both

1036
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: of them against under five hundred teams, one aforementioned Dallas,

1037
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: which listen, I've lived this rivalry my whole life. You don't.

1038
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 1: There is no guarantee of anything either side in that rivalry. Still,

1039
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: you know, you feel like you got a real good

1040
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: shot at home against a team that's very marginalized. Then

1041
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: they'll play another under five hundred team. They got a

1042
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: shot here to be set up for a run post

1043
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: thereby and a big time run if they can go

1044
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: up to Philadelphia and knock that team off on Thursday.

1045
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: So this is feeling like you want to show the resolve,

1046
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,919
Speaker 1: the toughness, the resiliency, the We're going to be there

1047
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 1: no matter what state our team is in.

1048
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 2: Don't discount us.

1049
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: This is a massive message potentially about where this organization

1050
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: and this specific team is.

1051
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 2: If they go up there and knock the Eagles.

1052
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 4: Off, Oh that absolute a game.

1053
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 3: It's football. Television will be us. Everybody will be watching.

1054
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 4: Man.

1055
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if you probably pay attention to it.

1056
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 3: Seems like every time you flip on sports of sports

1057
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 3: on the on the channel, they're talking about the Washington Commandments. Man,

1058
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 3: they're talking about us. Imagine were going there first place,

1059
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 3: you know, right now on the line, going there and

1060
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 3: knock them off.

1061
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 4: Oh man, it would be crazy. Crazy. But I know this.

1062
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 3: I know Dad Quinn, the way he handles his business,

1063
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 3: the way they look at you know, prepare and focus

1064
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 3: on the fight that's right in front of them.

1065
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 4: They're only looking at this.

1066
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 3: Game against the Philadelphia because they're not looking at, hey,

1067
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 3: we do this. We got these two ups. They're not

1068
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 3: thinking about what's down the road. We can do that

1069
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: because you know, we're not going to strap it up

1070
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 3: on Thursday night. But if they if they going there

1071
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 3: and had no business, yeah, that that that definitely sets

1072
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 3: you up for for the really you know, do some

1073
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 3: do some damage.

1074
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 4: Be in a great position. I have told say, all.

1075
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: Right, let's do no championship belt. By the way, this week,

1076
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: we don't do it off of losses, so the championship

1077
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: belt stays in the hands of the current champion. Let's

1078
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: do story time here for a minute. You gotta have

1079
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: some doozies from playing in Philadelphia, but think about playing

1080
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia.

1081
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 3: Oh man, I shot you put me on the spot here, Yeah,

1082
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 3: I play it.

1083
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 4: I love philip was one of my favorite places to play.

1084
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 4: I just.

1085
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 3: All the stadiums that I played in on the road,

1086
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 3: that might have been my favorite, just because the fans,

1087
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna be very engaged.

1088
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 4: They're gonna let you know how they feel. They what

1089
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 4: did I football?

1090
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 3: My first time playing there with with Washington, We're driving

1091
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,959
Speaker 3: into the stadium and they started egging our bus, throwing

1092
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 3: through the eggs in our bus, and you know, having

1093
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 3: a few choice words, and you know, the fingers saluting,

1094
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 3: and as we're going out of that tunnel getting ready

1095
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 3: for the game to start, I mean they yell, they're

1096
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 3: over the over the batisters.

1097
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,479
Speaker 4: Or whatever, yelling the railings, yelling choice words.

1098
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 3: And I felt like a gladiator coming into that uh,

1099
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 3: into you know, the arena, so to speak. And I'm

1100
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 3: loving and I'm just like, oh, yeah, are you not

1101
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 3: in the tame because I'm about to entertain you believe

1102
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 3: believe me.

1103
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 4: We beat the Eagles on that Monday night football.

1104
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 3: So that's that's one of my one of the ones

1105
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 3: that that comes up comes to mind right away, and uh,

1106
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 3: you know, we.

1107
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 4: We've had some success.

1108
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 3: We had some success in Philly when I was when

1109
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: I was wearing the burgery goes. But I loved it, man,

1110
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 3: because their fans are going to be extremely engaged.

1111
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 4: They're gonna say some choice words to you.

1112
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 3: But it's nothing like going in there and what and

1113
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 3: what are that football game against the team like that.

1114
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's really funny every time I go up there.

1115
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 2: The honest thing is the.

1116
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: Great food scene there, great entertainment, great city. You go out,

1117
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: everybody is so nice, and then you go to their

1118
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: game and it's like Thunderdome. It's like they've been given

1119
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: permission to be different people. Like you'd think that this

1120
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: is how they act all the time because of the

1121
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: perception of what happens at the games, But if you

1122
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: go out in Philadelphia, they couldn't be nicer. Like it's

1123
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 1: it's like some kind of strange permission structure occurs when

1124
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: they walk into that stadium, they become completely different people.

1125
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 4: You're probably right, because you know we'll go out and

1126
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 4: go to restaurants.

1127
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 3: This even when I was planned, I would go, hey,

1128
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 3: we get into the city, I'm go out and have

1129
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 3: some food and eat and Nate lottimes. They knew who

1130
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 3: I was, and you know, some places you might not

1131
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 3: want to be in a certain restaurants, like I don't know,

1132
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 3: they might put something in my food, having I want

1133
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 3: to toilet all whatever.

1134
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 4: But really wasn't like that. Man.

00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 3: They hey, man, I respect you. I love the way

00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 3: you play the game. Even to this day, I'm traveling.

1137
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 3: We're traveling with it's all around the city and you know,

Speaker 3: Fans of different teams all over and the Eagles fans

1141
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,920

00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 4: start that out.

1145
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 3: Even though I'm an Eagles fan, I appreciated the way

1146

Speaker 3: you play the game, and you know, stuff like that,

1147

Speaker 3: very respectful.

1148
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: The one I remember most too, and we'll leave it

1149
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: with this was you know, well, There's been a lot

1150
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: of them through the years that I've gotten to cover.

1151
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: Be around the Sean Taylor.

1152
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: Game where he had the big defensive play that turned

1153
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: the season ended up in a playoff year years ago,

1154
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: was incredible.

1155
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 2: That was an incredible moment there.

1156
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: Late in the season. But the one we did a

1157
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when Philadelphia was undefeated and it

1158
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: was on Monday Night football, it was the b rob game.

1159
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: I remember you walked up from the field and said,

1160
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: I just saw Brian Robinson and he told me He's

1161
00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: going to go ham on them. Yeah, that he did.

1162
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: That's one of the most that we've done together that

1163
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: I can remember. That. That one sticks out to me

1164
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 1: as the don't assume anything because that team was rolling,

1165
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: they were undefeated, This team did not have a lot

1166
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: of expectations on it. Walked up there and physically mauled

1167
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 1: that team.

1168
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: And I'm hoping we get something like that on Thursday night.

1169
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 4: Man. That was That was the thing of beauty. And

1170
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 4: for for you know, the viewers who may not know

1171
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:32,759

1172
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:33,919
Speaker 4: you figure it out.

1173
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,479
Speaker 3: He just had just look in his eyes and I'm like, man,

1174
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: and sure enough he was.

1175
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 4: He was running that rock and I think we ran.

1176
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 3: A bomb about forty times, maybe even more than forty

1177
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 3: times in that game.

1178
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, just just a think of beauty for for takeaways

1179
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 4: in that game.

1180
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 3: It was, it was, it was executed to perfection going

1181
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 3: in there physically dominated that performance, dominated that team and

1182
