00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: On today's edition of The Booth Review five and two.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,559
Speaker 1: Feeling pretty good, Big Fletch.

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: We're well oil machine, who's the diesel fuel?

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: And who's going to get Big Fletcher's championship belt?

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: This week it's The Booth Review reading the Bell.

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Monday edition of The Booth Review podcast

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: after a dominant forty to seven win over the Carolina

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Panthers with Big Fletch London Fletcher, who I'm now noting

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: we do this every week. We like to talk about

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: your stats. Thirty nine and a half, sex two less

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: than one. Ray Lewis happens to be in the Hall

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: of Fame. Yes, he played another one more season than

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: you did too, he did.

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what.

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: So the whole Big Flesh thing just to kind of

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: reintroduce Big Fletch.

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: He's my alter ego, uh huh.

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 3: And so I like to hear about what I did, yeah,

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: or Big Flesh likes to hear about what he did.

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: And when I talk about Big one of the talking

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: third part, all.

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Of the Fletch like hearing about what you did. Okay,

23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: I think Big Fletch liked the way the defense played

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: yesterday too. I'll get into the offense, and we're gonna

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: spend some time on Marcus Mariota and Jane Daniels and

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: upfront spoiler, as we're taping this, we don't know what

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: Jayden's health situation is, so we're gonna find out later today,

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: just like everybody else, So we'll get into all the

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: quarterback stuff. I actually want to start with the defense

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: because there were two things that they had to do

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: yesterday to win, and that was slow down a running game.

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: It's the one thing Carolina does really really well with

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard, very expensive guards that have played very very

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: well this year, and they have a real number one

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: target in Deontay Johnson. He had one catch Hubbard at halftime,

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: had twelve carries twenty five yards, ended up seventeen for

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: fifty two. Something like that. Mission accomplished yesterday because they

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: took away the two things that Carolina could do.

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we talked about this on the air lot.

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: I was a little nervous about Carolina's offense and going

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: into that because of their ability to run the ball

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: and how well Truba Howard had been playing the last

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 3: four ball games. He was averaging over one hundred yards

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: a game, and then you look on you look at

46
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson, and man, he had that quickness in the

47
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: release and he was starting to really get get this

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: connection with Andy Dalton. I was a little concerned, like, Okay,

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: they can give us a little bit of a problem.

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: But then defensively, man, the way they played in that

51
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: ball game, starting off with the follower interception, of which

52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: I know we're going to talk about, that really set

53
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: the tone for the rest of the game. And they

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: made Carolina one dimensional for the most part. They really

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: shut down that run game and they played outstanding football

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: in a game where you're missing Jonathan Allen, you're missing

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: Dorian's Armstrong, so you're down two of your premier defensive players.

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: And the rotation, yeah John Baptist as well, and those

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: guys on a defensive front really set the toe and

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: you could tell they took a personal and took the

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: challenge of saying, hey, we're not gonna let the Carolina

62
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 3: Pathers come in here and try to run a ball

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 3: against us.

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: Not today.

65
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Then there's Andy Dalton, who it's funny when you people

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: think whatever they think of him at this point in

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: his career. And then I was citing stats yesterday, I go,

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, when he throws three more touchdown passes, he's

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna pass Sonny Jurgensen all time. Right when he throws

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: for a thousand more yards, assuming he plays enough the

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: rest of the year to throw for a thousand more yards,

72
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: he's going past Joe Montana on schedule. He's still a

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: very productive, very good quarterback and has this connection with Johnson.

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: When you get him moving around, there's a problem. And

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Washington knew this. They went in. The object was to

76
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: bring heat on him, get him off schedule, you know,

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: take their chances with their corners, probably in more of

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: an island situation than they're probably accustomed to, but probably

79
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: like there's matchups a little bit different than they have recently.

80
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: They got him moving and they got exactly what they wanted,

81
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: which was turnovers. And they've been talking about this four weeks.

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: In fact, Joe Witt said last week in his press conference,

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: he goes, we've played six games. I've had one interception

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: that has never happened in my career, but it was

85
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: the challenge was put out there, that's not acceptable, and

86
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: there they were two in the first quarter.

87
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: The thing about interceptions is there's kind of just saying

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: in the defensive meeting room, they come in bunches. Once

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: you get that first first one, it seems like they

90
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: started to come in bunches. And last week we got

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: the first one against the Baltimore Ravens. Yesterday we got

92
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: two against the Carolina Panthers. You mentioned the pressure, the

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: pressure from from Cleveland Farroh on Andy Dawden kind of

94
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: forced him to throw that air and pass that that

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: Dante follow was able to intercept and really ignite us

96
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: and get that stadium in the buzz and just the

97
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: electric atmosphere was tremendous. Defensively, we also did a great

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: job of taking away the quick throws against Andy Dalton.

99
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: One of the things that he did and once he

100
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: took over at the quarterback spot for the Panthers, his

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: release time, his pocket time was two point two seconds,

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: which was the fastest in the NFL. So he was

103
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 3: getting the ball out of his hands quickly. Yes, you

104
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: talk about playing on time, playing on schedule. There was

105
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: times where we took his initial tha read away, force

106
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: him a hold on to the football, get some pressure,

107
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: make him move inaccurate throws through another interception of the

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: manu form. So the game plan they executed it to

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: a t. From a defensive standpoint.

110
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Yes on Fouler in the interception obviously kind of got

111
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the ball rolling the right way him. Farrell, you mentioned

112
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: him too. I think people forget in camp they didn't

113
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: play very much in the preseason, and then both of

114
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: them actually had issues that were kind of limiting them

115
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: at the end of camp and they were rotating. Farrell's

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: missed a couple of games. Dante's really gotten up to

117
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: speed really over the lineast couple of weeks. You have

118
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: felt his impact the last few games, and I think

119
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: some of that was a little bit injury related, because

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: it was under the radar that he was dealing with

121
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: stuff at the beginning of the season.

122
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: Where you think about when we interviewed him yesterday on

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: a postgame interview and he talked about how missing preseason

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: and how he was kind of a rust. He felt

125
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: like he wasn't playing up to his standards. And the

126
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: last I know, at least two.

127
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: Games, maybe even three games, he's he's.

128
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: Truly turned it up a notch. And I mean I

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: think he had two sax agans the Ravens. So you're

130
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: starting to feel his impact and why dan Quinn was

131
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: so adamant about bringing him with him. He's been with

132
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: dan Quinn everywhere he's you know, going all the way back.

133
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 2: To his Atlanta days.

134
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: They drafted him in Atlanta, he was with him in Dallas,

135
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 3: and now he's brought him here. So he knows what

136
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 3: he brings to the table, especially being down a couple

137
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: of guys on that defensive front. He's his play and

138
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: his performance the last few weeks have been outstanding and

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: much needed.

140
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: You know.

141
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: So he came here because of this coaching staff. Yeah,

142
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Jeremy Chin told us that too. Remember we had him

143
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: on on the postgame show yesterday too. He's playing his

144
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: ex team. It's a big deal for him. He said

145
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: he wanted to be here with this coaching staff. It's

146
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: already like I think it's already out there that he

147
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: turned out more money from other places to end up

148
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: signing here. Carolina did want Frankie Luvu back, he chose

149
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: to come to play here. Doran Armstrong follows dan Quinn

150
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: Joe Witt from Dallas to here like there is something

151
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: about that, and I think has been a touch underrated

152
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: throughout this entire process. Because I think there's a lot

153
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: of disbelief that's going on about what's going on here.

154
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: And I understand it because I lived it too. You

155
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: played in it where for a very long time, you know.

156
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: Someone asked Dan Quinn a couple of weeks ago, so

157
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: it was one of the reporters from the Washington Times,

158
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: where he said, I think a lot of people are

159
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: waiting for the other shoe to drop, right because it

160
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: has for twenty years, it has maybe more, and this

161
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: is different, and I think we all recognize it's different,

162
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: and I've turned the corner on seeing it's different. But

163
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I understand why on the outside that people are still

164
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: going wait a minute, like this almost feels a little

165
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: too unbelievable. But when you go back to how they

166
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: put the roster together, the reasons why these players came here,

167
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: that they're performing at this level because they wanted to

168
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: be here, to be with this staff. I don't care

169
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: what the past was, they weren't here for any of it.

170
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: You're starting to get kind of the reasons why this

171
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: is happening faster than anybody could have anticipated.

172
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: I think you even go back to obviously there's a

173
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: new ownership group and just go back to the process

174
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: of Hian Adam Peters and then the process of High

175
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: and Dank Quinn and all the coaching staff that they

176
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: put together. That process has brought us to where we

177
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: are right now. Is a measured approach. And free agency,

178
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: they were strategic and not signing a bunch of you know,

179
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: just Outlandis contracts. The draft class that they got, Man,

180
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: these rookies that they brought in, not just Jaden, but

181
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 3: you're getting Stamer's still getting.

182
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: Program, Newton's gonna be profiled now.

183
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: Newton senate got his first catching, first touchdown of his

184
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: career and those guys, Brandon Coleman is starting left tackle.

185
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: Luke McCaffrey.

186
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,479
Speaker 2: Luke McCaffrey.

187
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: So that's this draft class and the players that they

188
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,479
Speaker 3: brought free and free agency is the reason why we're

189
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 3: in the position.

190
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: That we are in right now.

191
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 3: And then but the culture, man that how they compete

192
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: at such a high level, and that goes back to

193
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: just Dan Quinn and his philosophy.

194
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: And yeah, people are waiting for the other shoot to drop.

195
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't think it's gonna draw.

196
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. They're gonna be because we're

197
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: sitting here, we're looking at this. I've been professionally covering

198
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: this franchise for a quarter century, been a fan of

199
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: it my entire life. I've watched every play that they've

200
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: run my entire life, but i've professionally been around it.

201
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: I've not been around something like this in my time

202
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: covering this. They've had good teams, they've had good coaches, right,

203
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: They've had good players like you and Santana and Chris

204
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: Cooley and many others that have come through here. But

205
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: I have not had a feeling like this. Maybe for

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: a short period of time with the Gibbs teams in

207
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: the second year, once he got back up to speed,

208
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: you got that same feeling about what was being built

209
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: here and that they were very capable of things. This

210
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: one has happened really fast. But I'll tell you what.

211
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: When we were in the locker room after that Baltimore game,

212
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: that's all I needed to know about where they are.

213
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: They were in as they described their first heavyweight fight.

214
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: It did not go the way they wanted. Defensively, they

215
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: gave up way too many yards and a bazillion big plays.

216
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: They give up seven plays of twenty yards or more.

217
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: They'd given up ten combined in the four game winning streak.

218
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: It was not up to quote unquote their standard. What

219
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: do they do the next week? They're playing a weaker opponent,

220
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: no if it's to Carolina, but they are right, a

221
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: beat up, injured opponent who's limited, don't have an MVP

222
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: quarterback playing for them, doesn't have a Hall of Fame

223
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: running back playing for them. But what did they do?

224
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: They took over dominated, dominated, dominated, And this is what

225
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: a special season looks like that off a loss, this

226
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: is what you get.

227
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: This is exactly what you get in and you want

228
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: to see, Okay, how do they respond at the adversity?

229
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: And I wasn't.

230
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: Sometimes people you worry about teams playing up to their

231
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: competition or or down to their competition. I wasn't concerned

232
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: about them not being ready to play because of again

233
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: being around Dan Quinn, hearing how he talks and tell

234
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: the truth Monday and being honest with those guys and

235
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: wins and the losses, so holding them accountable in wins

236
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: and losses, they were going to be ready to play

237
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: the game. The thing that you just have to appreciate

238
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: is the brotherhood and you can feel it I mentioned

239
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: this when I was you guys did Arizona game, and

240
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: I'm watching the video where they gave Cliff Kingsbury the

241
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 3: game ball after after that victory and the reaction and

242
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: response that he got from the team and the players

243
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: after giving.

244
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: Him that game ball.

245
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: Then you see Frankie Louville in the locker room and

246
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: he's doing his you know, uh, what's it called, the

247
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: like the hakka hakka something closer, And you see you know,

248
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: Frankie Louville doing his hawka, and how they respond to.

249
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: Him with the Rick Flair, dads whatever all that.

250
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 3: You just you feel like the atmosphere, the fight, the

251
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: one to play for each other, the competitive spirit, it's

252
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 3: going to be there in all these games. Yes, win

253
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: or lose, that's going to remain.

254
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's interesting too because it's a brand

255
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: new team. There's thirty something new players, which staff knew everything.

256
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: Really and then to your point, like what I see

257
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: often and this is what I think is very unique

258
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: about what I've seen here. Why I think this is

259
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: so different. They're not looking at one person to speak

260
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: for the team. They're not asking for one person to

261
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: be the leader, none of that. Like if it's Frankie

262
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: Louvo's day, Frankie Louvu gets the game ball and gets

263
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: to get everybody to do too, claps in a rick lair.

264
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: If it's Mike Sanderstol's day, he speaks. If it's Austin

265
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: Eckler's day, he speaks. If it's Jayden Daniel's day, he

266
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: seems to defer to everybody else. The whole room is

267
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: acting like they have ownership and leadership in it, and

268
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: that I think is something that really is standing out

269
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: to me about.

270
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: That they wrote take captains. Yes, they picked captains, different

271
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: captains for every game.

272
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: Dad Quinn says, they cheer for certain people when they

273
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: get the honor, like Jeremy McNichols, who's an incredible example.

274
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: Of all of this.

275
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: Now that's that right there. That that buying right there,

276
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: because if a lot of times when you only have

277
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: I've been a captain, I don't know, out of my

278
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: sixteen years, probably thirteen twelve of those years I was captain,

279
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: when you only have you know, a couple guys as

280
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: a captain, they tend to be the voice of the

281
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: team most of the time. But when you have kind

282
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: of a situation in the process that they go through.

283
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: It there is a different collect captain for each game.

284
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: It forces guys to assume a leadership role and be

285
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: willing to speak out.

286
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: And know that hey, I'm.

287
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: Not just a low end person on this roster. I'm

288
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: an important, vital piece of what we're trying to accomplish.

289
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: It's really I mean, it's such a weird test case

290
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: because it so feels unprecedented, and I think that's why

291
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: everybody keeps looking at this going what is going on

292
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: here that you would basically tear the organization down, build

293
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: it back up immediately and be in position to contend.

294
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels off and straight. But when you

295
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: think about all these moves and cranted, a lot of

296
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: them have really worked out. They were all done with purpose.

297
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: They brought in all of these people four specific roles,

298
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: told them what their specific roles were. Many of them,

299
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: if we were talking about earlier, had previous relationships with

300
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, wanted to be part of it because

301
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: they were buying what was being sold. It had in

302
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: the past. It's carried over here. There's a chip on

303
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: the shoulder of Cliff Kingsbury, who wants to prove to

304
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: everybody in my second go run. You're going to see

305
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: what I am. There's a chip on the shoulder of

306
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, who wants to be a second time head coach,

307
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: who has talked openly about here are the things I

308
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: think I did wrong the first time, and here's what

309
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: I want to get right the second time. You've got

310
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: Adam Peters, who's been in line for this for years, right.

311
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: He has been offered jobs, i'm sure for five ten

312
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: years running to do something like this. He finally gets

313
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: his opportunity because he feels like it's the right place

314
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: to do it. It's really remarkable what is happening here.

315
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: It's really it's this is the stuff movies are made up.

316
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: It's wild what is happening right now?

317
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: Man?

318
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 3: I was I was walking around a concourse yesterday heading

319
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: up to the booth and I just literally and I

320
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: kid you, not not hyperbole, not. I just was smiling

321
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: because I saw the amount of fans that were in

322
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: the stadium coming to a game. And yeah it was

323
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: alumni and Dale Green's retirement church, but it was more

324
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: than that. When you saw the amount of fans, the

325
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: concourse was packed and this was I don't know at

326
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: least an hour before the game, and I'm just like, man,

327
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: this is just a beautiful thing. And I I just

328
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: was so appreciative that and just you know, talking to

329
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: fans and how happy, and met several fans who were

330
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: bringing their kids to their very first game.

331
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, twelve nine.

332
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: Year olds for very first game.

333
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: And it was just like, man, this is a beautiful thing.

334
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: And it's all because of what they've been able to

335
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: build in a very short period of.

336
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's bit interesting. Like I agreed with

337
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: that question a few weeks ago because I thought it

338
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: was pulse of the fan base to ask when is

339
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: the other shoe going to drop? Because I think that's

340
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: what a lot of people were thinking. They've seen this before.

341
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: Team has this good month, you know, but like how

342
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: real is this? I think there were fair questions for

343
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: a fan base. It hasn't won a lot for a

344
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: very long time. Like I grew up in the golden

345
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: era of this team. I went to RFK yesterday with

346
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: Darryl Green being celebrated was special for me. I was

347
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: in attendance at the NFC Championship game where he's at

348
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: the goal line knocking a ball down that sends them

349
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl. I lived that in my childhood.

350
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: There's a generation of people who did not. They have

351
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: watched this team be very up and down, a lot

352
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: of promises, a lot of new faces, a lot of

353
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber people that have come in here,

354
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: but the results were never there, and even when a

355
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: good start happened, they were waiting for the other shoe

356
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: to drop. I don't feel like that's happening. And I

357
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: think what you're seeing in the stadium, what we're feeling

358
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: in the area, it's undeniably real. Beyond just that they're good,

359
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: like there is something here that is building that is

360
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: completely literally undeniable at this point. Agree, all right, let's

361
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: talk abou a couple others. Emmanuel Forbes got an interception,

362
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: so this is good, right, we want and the coach

363
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: have talked about this. He was a healthy scratch week ago.

364
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: Uh mainly, and I buy the reasoning. Some of it

365
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: was they knew the run game they were facing. They

366
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: were going to bring up extra linemen because they felt

367
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: that they needed it a rotation against the Ravens offense.

368
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: But he still was the choice to not play last week.

369
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: So Dan Quinn openly talked. He's very honest with the media.

370
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: He said, I talked to him about it. I told him,

371
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: your opportunities are going to come here. He was active again.

372
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: And you know what, him getting his hands on the

373
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: ball is a big deal because that's him. He's confident.

374
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't care that you think he's skinny. He doesn't

375
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: care he's under like. But he knows what he did

376
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: in the past. And he was drafted because he catches

377
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: the ball and changes games. And I think it's a

378
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: big deal that he got an interception.

379
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, not only did he get a big get a

380
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: big interception, he played a lot of that ball game,

381
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: and they were rotating him Sam may Steele, Saint Juice

382
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: and also Igbinogheny where those were the three corners at

383
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: sometime point. Sometimes when there was only two corners on

384
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 3: the field, it may have been him and Saint Juics.

385
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: It may have been him and Sam may Steel. So

386
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: he played a lot and he was a major part

387
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: of the game plan. What I liked about it was

388
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: on an interception, his positioning beforehand. He had great vision

389
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 3: on the quarterback and also had the feel of the receiver.

390
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: Johnson.

391
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: He broke on that ball before Johnson even you know,

392
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: ran his rock properly. That's where you say a young

393
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 3: guy who's developing, who's buying in, who's bought in? Hey,

394
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 3: I know I'm not playing, but I'm still doing everything

395
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: I need to do in practice, so when my opportunity comes,

396
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 3: I'm prepared. You don't want to He could have kind

397
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: of moped around and not fully taken advantage of his

398
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: practice reps and not did the things he knew needed

399
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 3: to do to prepare. And when he got his opportunity again,

400
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 3: he flucked the test, so to speak. But when he

401
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 3: got the interception, and I don't know, you had to

402
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 3: notice this the reaction of his teammates. Yes, after he

403
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: got that interception, like, man, we feel what you've gone

404
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: through and just did the jubilation.

405
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: That took place when I hear the complaints about him.

406
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: You know it's funny, I go, I don't think you

407
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: know how much as teammates actually really like him. Go

408
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: look on social media about how they interact with him.

409
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: I see how supportive they are of him. He's a

410
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: very young player. He does have talent that he has.

411
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: He has a gift for something that this team values

412
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: more than anything on earth getting the ball because when

413
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: he's thrown his way, he might catch it. Oh yeah,

414
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of corners you could.

415
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: Say that about.

416
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that this hits a light bulb for him,

417
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: gets his confidence up. And that's been a recurring theme too,

418
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: just the supportiveness of the room for one another. For

419
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: Jamon Davis for the end of the pre he was

420
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: up for who willingly did a position shift right and said, yes,

421
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: make me better. I want to, you know, continue my

422
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: career under this coaching staff. Like the end of the preseason,

423
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: how many games did we see where everybody was cheering

424
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: for Trace Mcsorlely trucking people at the end of a

425
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: preseason game, or the end of the Miami game where

426
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: they were rooting for Jeff Driscoll to try to, you know,

427
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: lead a drive down the field. This team's been engaged

428
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: with one another from the get go. Whatever they did

429
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: to get that kind of chemistry starting being built, they

430
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: bought in and it's paying off huge right now.

431
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 3: Stand on a kind of the cornerback situation here, I

432
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: thought Mikey Samer still was outstanding.

433
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: He's getting better and better.

434
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: He was outstanding in that game, he had a big

435
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 3: pass breakup on a third down against the Attae Johnson,

436
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: and just the nuance and the the the skill set

437
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 3: of him knowing that they tried to run a rub

438
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: route with him, he avoided the rubb rod and was

439
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: riding the hip pocket blanket covers makes the pass breakoup

440
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: without having a pass the interference penalty. There were some

441
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: times in run support or bubble screens where he slips blocks,

442
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: makes tackles or forcing the runner back to the pursuit angles.

443
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 3: These are things that you see and this is a

444
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: rookie doing these types of things where you're just like, man,

445
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: he's really really turning it.

446
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: On the last few ball.

447
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: Games, he's he's on the uptakes, on the climb.

448
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's talk about the offense for a minute.

449
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: So Brian Robinson comes back. Carolina is decimated up front.

450
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: They are missing six starters.

451
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: A lot of players.

452
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Yes, they're giving up a ton of yards on the ground.

453
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: If you watch him in their last couple of games

454
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: against Chicago and Atlanta, they're getting just pushed off the line.

455
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: This is a very good run offense here. So here's

456
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: another really good sign that this is a very serious

457
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: operation that there is no other shoe to drop at

458
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: this point. They took advantage of a team that had

459
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: injuries and deficiencies. That's what good teams do. You know,

460
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it to you. You can't stop it.

461
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: It's your problem and your issue that you have to

462
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: deal with your injuries. We don't care. It's the NFL.

463
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: And they rushed for almost two hundred yards.

464
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 2: Again.

465
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: Man, there's nothing more demoralizing from a defense than a

466
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: team just running a football like you know they're gonna

467
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 3: run it. They know you know they're gonna run it,

468
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

469
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: B Rob.

470
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: What I love about b Rob is we talked about

471
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: how much we missed him last week in the Baltimore game,

472
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: and yeah, the Ravens a number one rank rush defense

473
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 3: in the league. Think about b Rob is with some

474
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: of the because of his size and his forward body lane.

475
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 3: Where one of the other backs may have gotten two,

476
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: maybe three yards, b Rob's gonna get four or five,

477
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: even possibly six yards because of that body lane. And

478
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: now you're operating in second and five thirty and two's

479
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: thirty and one thirty threes, a lot more manageable down

480
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: and dish is where the playbook is kind of opened

481
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: up a little bit more so just having him back

482
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 3: on the field, and you saw what he's able to do,

483
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: having those that rushing they had two rushing touchdowns or

484
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: one rushing touchdown. Just be rob physicality and this run

485
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: game that travels weekend and week out. You're going to

486
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 3: be able to run the ball. All the misdirection stuff

487
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: that they're doing. James Daniels his first run, all the misdirection,

488
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: you're pulling guards, you're pulling tackles. It forces you as

489
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: a linebacker. You don't know where the ball is at

490
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 3: and does a quarterback have it?

491
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: Does it?

492
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: Running back have it? Who has the football? So you're

493
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: going to be half a second slow and by that

494
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: time you're getting alignment hitting you in the face, or

495
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: a quarterback running back play ast you or be Rob

496
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 3: you know doing this thing, or Austin Neckler or Jeremy McNichols.

497
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: So it's I mean, that running game is awesome.

498
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm described it is. He's gas in the tank to

499
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: them that like because just the way he plays. He's

500
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: a favorite of mine because just the way he plays.

501
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: For a couple of years now. Just his physicality reminds

502
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: me of the old school Redskins, the Hogs, Riggo Gerald Riggs,

503
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: George Rogers, Ernest Beiner, Stephen Davis. He's very tough running

504
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: backs that nobody wanted any part of in the fourth quarter.

505
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: He reminds me of that. And last week after he

506
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: missed the game, Cliff Kingsbury described it as what he

507
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: brings to us emotionally, let alone his play on the field.

508
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: People just feed off of they see what he's doing.

509
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn reiterated it too. He said, this is what

510
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: we want to be him. We want everybody to be him,

511
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: like emotionally, this is how we want to play every run.

512
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: He was talking to us in the post game, but

513
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: he's like, I know what I can do, and I

514
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: know what I bring. And he's right, it's not ego

515
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: or cockiness. He recognizes that when he's going, this whole

516
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: team is going.

517
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 3: Just going back to when I first saw b Rob

518
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: Rubb back in the preseason years ago, a couple of

519
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: years ago, I said, he reminded me of two to

520
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 3: two Hall of Fame running backs. He has feet like

521
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: Frank Gore as a linebacker. I'm going to a game plan.

522
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 3: I'm studying a running back. I'm studying the guys. I go,

523
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: I'm going against Frank Gore had these great feet. He

524
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: was able to get in there to cut jump cuts,

525
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 3: I mean, getting picked his feet up and put him

526
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: back down so quickly. He has the feet of a

527
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: guy like a Frank Gore, and he has the body

528
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: lane of an Eddrin James where you don't see him

529
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: getting knocked backwards because he has the four body lane.

530
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 3: And this is guy six foot two running with that

531
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: type of forward lean, So it's a hard it's a

532
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 3: hard target to hit. With his ability, his feet and

533
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: that body lean, he's going to be extremely productive. And

534
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: he has that billy for bigger back to get what

535
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: we call skinny through a little small hole increase and

536
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 3: things like that. So I mean the guy he said,

537
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: I love him. I love the way he plays a game.

538
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: So you told me yesterday you were nervous going into

539
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: this game.

540
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for one of the first times.

541
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: It's my job to be nervous, to be ready for anything.

542
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: I was not, though it was based mainly on the

543
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: injuries that Carolina has, where I looked at them and

544
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: I go, they can't stop us, like not with the

545
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: personnel that they're putting out there, short of weird fumbles

546
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: or some kind of like weird bounces of the ball.

547
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: I knew we were scoring thirty. It was just a

548
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: question of how much were we giving up now nervous,

549
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think we were gonna lose.

550
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: I just thought it might be a shootout because our

551
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: defense had been stopping a run up until that point,

552
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: and coming off the game against the Baltimore Ravens, where

553
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: you know you don't stop the run the way you

554
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 3: need to stop it, and they were now Downathan Dallen.

555
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 2: You know, Doris, I'm strong, and so I'm like, man,

556
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: this could be a shoe.

557
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: And added dog had been playing some decent football for

558
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: the path. So I was a little.

559
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: Nervous, I admit it.

560
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: But for the others, I did not think the Carolina

561
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 3: Pathers gonna beat us.

562
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: Just do it in a new day. I'm trying to

563
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: tell you the other shoe isn't drop it here London.

564
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: We're in a new day. We're a weekened opponent walks

565
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 1: into our house off of a loss.

566
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna take care of business. But did you see

567
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: we have to admit we didn't see forty to seven.

568
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: No, especially after Jaden got hurt. I mean, at that point,

569
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm going, okay, let's just manage the game here, which

570
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: was maybe the biggest surprise of all of it. Nothing

571
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: was tailored back from Marcus Marioti when he came out there.

572
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: Thought dan Quinn was interesting when we spoke to him

573
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: after the game where he said, there's a completely different

574
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: call sheet that is ready for Mariota. But you know,

575
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: at face value, it looked like Cliff wasn't held back

576
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: at all once he came into the game.

577
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, Now, he said, they got two game plans,

578
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: you know, the Mariota play that that they really like

579
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: calling from mary Oda. He started, he came into the

580
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: game little, a little rusty, and he mentioned that, you know,

581
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: it took him a little bit to get his feet

582
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: under him, and the defense was continuing to do what

583
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: they did.

584
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: But once, I thought, once he.

585
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: Started making plays off schedule, started to scramble a little bit,

586
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: started to run around, and that muscle memory that that

587
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 3: playmaker mentality came back. The touchdown passed that he threw

588
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: to Zach Hurtz, Oh my goodness, that was a dart.

589
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: That was a dart on the move. Yes, that drive

590
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: in general, I think told me everything. So they get

591
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: the ball back with two something on the closs right.

592
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: It's a great punt. They're pinned at the eight yard line.

593
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: They run a run play and let it get to

594
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: there's no no rush. They let it get to the

595
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: two minute warning. Carolina oddly doesn't use a timeout. Okay,

596
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: they're down twenty to nothing. They're not using good time

597
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: three timeouts, they're using. Washington then runs another play, a

598
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: short run player, short passway. I don't even remember, but

599
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: it was not down the field. It's third and whatever.

600
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: Carolina doesn't use a timeout, clock's running. It was like

601
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: almost like they thought there was some gentlemen's agreement that

602
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: Washington was just gonna run, you know, maybe get a

603
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: first down and just run the clock out and take

604
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: a twenty nothing leading to the break. And at that

605
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: point I think Kingsbury goes, if you're not gonna try

606
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: to stop us, or you think we're just gonna sit

607
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: on the ball, you're wrong, And they opened it up.

608
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: That was amazing. And I'll tell you what, if I'm

609
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: the Carolina people, I am asking the coach why were

610
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: you not calling timeouts to try to get the ball

611
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: back at the end of the half because the end

612
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: result looks awful.

613
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: For Oh yeah it did and that was you, Mary Old.

614
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: And that's when he really started to get confidence going.

615
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: He had a like a five or six yard completion

616
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: to Earths might have been second to ten or third

617
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: and five or something like, I can't remember. And then

618
00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 3: there was a comeback to Terry and that it was

619
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: one of the first balls I saw that. It felt

620
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: like he threw on time where all right, trust it,

621
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: let it rip. Star starts to get to fill in.

622
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: I think he hit another one to Noah Brown. So

623
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: he got into a rhythm and they went into their

624
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: uptemple mode and next thing you know, we're getting another touchdown.

625
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

626
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: I like this was just another sign up. Like last week.

627
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: They posted some stat during the Ravens game where they're like,

628
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: Washington's gone no huddle in up tempo more than double

629
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: any other team in the NFL's obviously working for them.

630
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: They came in with the number two ranked offense off

631
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: the look if they're number one now after scoring forty yesterday,

632
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: they didn't stop doing it when he went out there right,

633
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: they're up twenty seven and nothing. They didn't stop doing

634
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: it while he was out there.

635
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: They just ran their stuff, and you would think at

636
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: some point, okay, we're up twenty seven, then maybe we'll

637
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 3: take a little bit more time to.

638
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: Snap the ball. It's their identity.

639
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: They didn't take their foot off the gas, which we've

640
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: seen countless where teams get up being in the first

641
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: half and.

642
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: They just I thought when they came out at half

643
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: time they were gonna run the ball. That that's what

644
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: I thought.

645
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, take their foot off the gas. Team the other

646
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: team gets a little momentium. Next thing you know, you're

647
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: in a dog fight in the fourth quarter when you

648
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: should have blown that team out. But they did not

649
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: take their foot off the gas, and they continue to

650
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 3: execute their office and they run ran it too perfection.

651
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm not advocating they should have done this or

652
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: should have been thinking about this, but there was one

653
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: opportunity karmicalley for this team at the end of the

654
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: half that I would love.

655
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: To have seen them do.

656
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: Not that anyone would have been thinking about this, but

657
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: when they scored with ten seconds left, it was twenty

658
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: six to nothing. Had they gone for two and made

659
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: it twenty eight to nothing going into halftime, retiring the

660
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: number twenty eight in Washington history. That would have been amazing. Yeah,

661
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: that would have been amazing.

662
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 3: It would have been amazing. However, if you you go

663
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 3: for two, you're up twenty six. Does that feel like

664
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: a little bit a bit much?

665
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: Yes, of course. It was just like they had a

666
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: fourth and one in the red zone and they kicked

667
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: a field goal, And I said to you on the

668
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: are I go they go for all of these. They

669
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: don't want to run up the score, right, But they're

670
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: kicking a field goal here because they're being cognizan that

671
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: they're trying not to run up the score. But when

672
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: they had that fourth and one, I'm like, they always

673
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: go for these. They are hyper aggressive. They went for

674
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: a fourth and four against the Ravens early in the game.

675
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: You knew if this was a tighter game they would

676
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: have gone for that, but they chose to back off.

677
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 3: That would that would have, like you said, to have

678
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: it twenty eight none of that halftime, that would have

679
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: been day Dale Green's jersey is being retired.

680
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: That would have been amazing.

681
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, So let's talk about Jaden now for

682
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. So first drive gets injured somewhere, We're

683
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: not sure. All the video sluts to try to figure out,

684
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: did it happen on the first run, did it happen

685
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: later whatever? He injured his ribs. All we know is

686
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: he injured his ribs. We don't know to the extent,

687
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna find out with you later today. All right,

688
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: Mario to comes in. Everything works great, Fine, that's very

689
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: reassuring to see that. I think long term, we all

690
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: understand number five needs to be out there for them.

691
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: No offense to Mariota. So as you kind of think

692
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: about this moving forward without knowing to what extent the

693
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: injury is, how are you kind of thinking about him

694
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: in the short term future.

695
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: Well, just like you said, not knowing the extent of

696
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 3: the injury, he's whether it's he's going to be extremely

697
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: sore this week, So how much he's able to practice,

698
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: you don't know. The good thing is Mariota will be

699
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 3: able to take the majority, if not all, of the

700
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: first team reps, so you'll be able to have him

701
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: get more of a timing with his receivers in a

702
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: game and in a game situation, he'll get that rhythm

703
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 3: and timing with a with a Diami BROWANNT like he

704
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: missed him early on the I felt like they just

705
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: weren't in sync.

706
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 2: Because they probably hadn't practiced together.

707
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 3: So that'll be that'll be the benefit of you know,

708
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 3: if Jayden has to miss a little bit of the

709
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 3: practice time. But you never know how how things will

710
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 3: kind of take shape. I know this is a game

711
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: has been flexed into the four to twenty five window

712
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: and the number one overall draft pick against the number

713
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: two overall draft pick.

714
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 2: Let's not lose sight though. This is the eighth game

715
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: of the season.

716
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 3: Also, so if there's a situation where and I know

717
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 3: they're not going to put him out on that field

718
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: if they feel like that he would be putting himself

719
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: in harm, they.

720
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: Didn't do it. Robi we further, they helped him out

721
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: for the purpose of getting him through the rest of

722
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: the season. They wanted him to play, and from what

723
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: I could tell, he might have been able to, but

724
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: they felt it was in his best interest, in the

725
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: team's best interest. So I agree with you with Jase.

726
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: So so, yeah, we want to see number one versus

727
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: number two pick. But again, I know they're going to

728
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 3: do the best for Jaden, thinking long term, thinking big picture.

729
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: Why so you know, I'm anxious to see what will happened.

730
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: And I feel like if Jamie kan't go, marry Oldy'll

731
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 3: be more than capable to lead us to.

732
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: A victory if he can. And that would probably be

733
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: on an assumption the aren't broken, right, that's that's a

734
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: bad scenario. If that's the case, I probably miss some time.

735
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: If that's the case, we'll find out. But let's say

736
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: it's a pain maintenance thing and they do determined he

737
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 1: can go and he wants to go. Does that change

738
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: how Cliff is going to think about calling the game,

739
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: because I would assume you don't want to expose him

740
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: either way.

741
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 2: Two hits, Yeah, no, you definitely don't.

742
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: I've dealt with some some Cardilige issues before in my

743
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: in my ribs and I practice with him.

744
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: It's it's painful.

745
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 3: And then in the game, I gotta what you call

746
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 3: it pay and killing an injection. I was able to

747
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 3: do everything I needed to do in that game, and like,

748
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: you feel great now after the game?

749
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're back in pain.

750
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 3: But you definitely want to limit the amount of of.

751
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: Hits he's taken. If you if possible.

752
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: So, but the zone reading a run, that's part of

753
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: our our identity. Now you're not gonna have the design

754
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 3: to truly desire quarterback runs and even Jay that he'll

755
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 3: probably if it's a zong read, he's probably gonna hand

756
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 3: it off.

757
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: You may see more.

758
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: Rpo stuff where it's either run or bubb or run

759
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: or or quick slant. If if that's the case, so

760
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 3: you know, assumed he's is just a.

761
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: Pain tolerance thing.

762
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 3: They got they got something for that, and he can

763
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 3: be able to play in that ball game.

764
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: Definitely.

765
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: Well, Mariota, I want to go back to something we

766
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: were talking about earlier with kind of like the purposeful

767
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: signings that occurred here that are all kind of working

768
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: out so far to have the season that they've had.

769
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: I think Mariota is one of them. Like Mariota walked

770
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: this walk, number two overall pick, Heisman Trophy winner, has

771
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: seen it all in his career, right. Kingsbury had said

772
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: back in camp when we asked about him, he said

773
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: he loved him in college. He was intrigued by him,

774
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: what he was able to do, the heat. This is

775
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: the type of player he always wanted to work with.

776
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: Now has the opportunity to do this. Mariota has been

777
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: nothing but supportive of Daniels throughout this entire process. Daniels

778
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: has said when asked about him that he's been really

779
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: good with helping him kind of navigate all the different

780
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: things that are going on. And then there he was

781
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: going out there and looking like the number two overall pick,

782
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner, And it's been some time for him.

783
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine today he feels pretty good because that's

784
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: what he was capable of early in his career and

785
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: here it was. It's been a long road to see

786
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: one of those for him, because we mentioned I think

787
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: it was the first time he threw for over two

788
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards in like four years, two four years something

789
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: like that, Like it had been a while for him.

790
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 2: I think about what we would do.

791
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: What he was with the Falcons a couple of years

792
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 3: ago and they came in here, he was hurting us.

793
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he was killing us running the football. He

794
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: seemed to be on top of his game, this passing

795
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: game that he's playing in and with these receivers he looked.

796
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: On point man. Just you can see the confidence.

797
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: Going and developing as a as a game went on

798
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 3: Like again, some of those time and Rob plays, he

799
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: was just letting him rip and trusting Hey, trusting the

800
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: receiver to come back and be at the spot they're

801
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: supposed to be at, and and again once he's able

802
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: to add lib make plays create. I love the fact

803
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: that because he's so seasoned, he gets out of the pocket,

804
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: he's scrambling, but he's keeping his eyes down the field

805
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: for open receivers. From a defensive standpoint, that puts a

806
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 3: lot of pressure on you as a as a secondary

807
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 3: contained type of guys. You're like, you're kind of in

808
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 3: a bind. Do I come up to try to stop

809
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: him from ganging yard scrambling or do I stay back

810
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: in coverage? And that that that hesitancy has intends by

811
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 3: a defender allows more plays to develop and and big

812
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 3: plays to develop.

813
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: He was feeling it too. I mean the drive we

814
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: talked about the end with the throw of the Ertz.

815
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: He had a throw in between defenders to McLaurin that

816
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: was outstanding at the dart. Yeah, he threw, so his

817
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: confidence was back up, and I think he was talking

818
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: to him afterwards too. He's just, like he admitted he is.

819
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: There's just so I'm going on here. We're all so

820
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: connected that everybody seems to step up, and it was

821
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: nice to see him do that because he knew what

822
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: was wrong. Even when he signed here they had the

823
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: number two overall pick. He knew what they were going

824
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: to do. Like It wasn't like it's some big surprise

825
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: to him, but he came here. Brian Johnson's a big

826
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: deal with this, came here from Philadelphia with him, had

827
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: a relationship with him. His staff is part of this

828
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: story here too, how deep specifically on offense that it

829
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: is the people who are coaching these players. He's just

830
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: another piece of there's something really special going on here

831
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: that him, in all the different roads that he's traveled

832
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: to get to this point, could show up. And when

833
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: it was ten to nothing, you could not have convinced

834
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: me they were scoring thirty more points at that point.

835
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: Jade went out and there it was anyway, Yeah.

836
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: No, I was.

837
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 3: I thought it was okay, maybe this might be a

838
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: defense not allowed him to score any any more points,

839
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: you know, forty didn't see it, it'd be a forty points.

840
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: But again I was just mayo.

841
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: I would have talked about and we actually the preparation

842
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 3: that it takes to be a backup quarterback. It's still

843
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 3: trying to prepare as the starting. They mentioned how after

844
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: practice he's out there with the practice squad guys going

845
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 3: through the script, so he's getting his reps in and

846
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 3: you know that takes a lot of commitment, a dedication.

847
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: It's time consuming because this is after the practice is over,

848
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: so you're going out and you're going through that script

849
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 3: and running the plays and doing all that type of stuff.

850
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 3: So you know, shout out to him, Shout out to

851
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 3: the practice squad guys for you know, get getting him

852
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 3: ready to play.

853
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: We have some interesting, like you know, quarterback things that

854
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: have occurred this year throughout the league, like Sam Darnold's

855
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: having a great year. He might not have projected to

856
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: be the starter in the first place till JJ McCarthy

857
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: got hurt. Andy Dalton we saw yesterday. Obviously, the record

858
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: is what it is, and the Bright Young situation is

859
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: a whole different situation. Russell Wilson played last night, made

860
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: his first start with Pittsburgh. He and Justin Fields, I

861
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: think they're going to decide as we go along here,

862
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: who's best served for them to be the starting quarterback

863
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: for them but he was very good in what was

864
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: his debut with Pittsburgh. So maybe there is you know,

865
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: if this is a short term we got to be

866
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: without Jaden for a week or two, hopefully it's nothing

867
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: more than that. It's that at all, we might be

868
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: all right here.

869
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

870
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: No, again, what Mariota did, he's proved. He proved to

871
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 3: us and and everybody else the NFL that and this

872
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 3: is not just a one man team. Jayden is a

873
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 3: tremendous part of what we're doing. I mean, he's played phenomenal,

874
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: he has played lifestyle. But the way they've built this

875
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 3: team to where there's so many pieces, you know, it's

876
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 3: a welled oil machine, so to speak. We got we

877
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 3: got a lot of parts to this, to this, to

878
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: this machine, and we got guys that can get JOBB done.

879
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: Maybe you laid on a running game a lot more.

880
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a game where you know, heck, we rush

881
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: for two fifty or three hundred yards. Each game is

882
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 3: going to play us helf out a little bit differently.

883
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: But I'm in or maybe hey to get the defense

884
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 3: has to step up and do what they did, the

885
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: special teams, all those things. We're capable of winning multiple

886
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 3: in multiple different ways.

887
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: You brought up the parts. Jason's very happy with you

888
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: because his bit this week is we are a well

889
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: oiled machine, and he wants to put names to the

890
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: parts of the machine. So we got the radiator. Who

891
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: do you think the radiator is? Of the commanders this year?

892
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: A radiator? Man, let me see what we'll give you.

893
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who the radiator is. I think that's

894
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: actually the coaching staff, Joe Witt, Junior, Cliff Kingsbury, all

895
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: the assistant coaches. I think they're they're the like they're

896
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: keeping the airflow perfect throughout the season. They're the radiator.

897
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 3: I'll let you radio. I'm gonna go with the pistons.

898
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 3: I think the pistons are the offensive line. Offenses lie

899
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 3: the piston They're they're fine, you know. So I'm going

900
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: with the offensive line.

901
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: I had b Rob as the pistons, but I got it.

902
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 3: I I'm afraid.

903
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: Because b Rob all right, spark plugs.

904
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: So I put spark plugs. I put Eckler, McCaffrey, McNichols,

905
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: spark plugs of like people that maybe Eckler doesn't fall

906
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: in this category, but like McCaffrey, McNichols. Every week there's

907
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: like a moment with one of them where you're like, oh,

908
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: I get it now. These are kind of the parts.

909
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: Senate had a moment yesterday. Spark plugs.

910
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: You know what, I've got to go back because I'm

911
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 3: changing pistons. The pistons is the receivers, the wide receivers

912
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 3: for that.

913
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 2: Spark plugs.

914
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 3: I really like your your running backs and uh Eckler,

915
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 3: I throw I even throw the samar still in there.

916
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: Spark plug, yes, and Frank, I have Lulu as the motor,

917
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 3: motor energy.

918
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 2: Listen, the diesel fuel be.

919
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: Rob Okay, use line. I mean, if we're gonna do

920
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: the diesel thing, then we might as well talk talk

921
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: about the running back of the offensive line. If we're

922
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: going to go back in history and talk about it,

923
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: the diesel and the hogs were the diesel fuel of

924
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing.

925
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: I'm going b rob Dlai. I'll throw Bobby Wagner in there.

926
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 3: Yes, I had he's a fuel, the motor, the motors,

927
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 3: the offense of line. Okay, the motor is the offensive line.

928
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 1: I already had him in there as a let's see

929
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: spark plus spark plug.

930
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 2: He's diesel fuel. He pissed.

931
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like he seems to the hybrid.

932
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: He's a motor.

933
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: To me, he seems to epitomize the way he that

934
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: these guys want the whole team to play, and he's

935
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: kind of all of that. He's like all of that energy.

936
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: So he's the motor to me.

937
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: The offensive line is the motor. I agree.

938
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: I like diesel fuel b Rob offensive line because that's

939
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: like kind of an homage to the past, which means

940
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,479
Speaker 1: the pistons have to be I've lost this. I lost

941
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: I don't know you had to you had I don't

942
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: I've lost the thread. Now, Yeah, we're good, We're good,

943
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: we got, We're got. You're all great guys. You're all

00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: This is a tough one.

961
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: How are you not picking Fowler?

962
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 2: This is a.

963
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 3: Competition on it his follow against Louisville for who's the

964
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: who gonna walk away with the bill? This is solely

965
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 3: based off yesterday's performance against the Carolina Patches.

966
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: D D D.

967
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: And no.

968
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: Have you watch champion Dauntae Fowler.

969
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: You know that was his first ever interception. Jacker, his

970
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: first ever interception, and he ran.

971
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 2: What he got. But I was impressed with the moves

972
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 2: that he made. Once again, he hurd the guys.

973
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 1: He looked like a running back and he watching though

974
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: he was running at a gas. He got down to

975
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: twenty yards right, because the whole time, I'm like, he's

976
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: to get there.

977
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 2: I think you have a ran seventy yard with somebody

978
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 2: chasing you.

979
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: No, and I never will either. All Right, one more thing,

980
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: I've congratulations Dante Faller, but deserving of it, deserving of it.

981
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: All right, one more thing before we get to a

982
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: little preview, because we have a good game coming up

983
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: this weekend. We got flexed into the four to twenty

984
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: five spot national game. I want to ask you about

985
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: a comparison for this team and something that you played on,

986
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: just to see if it kind of messes with you,

987
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: because five and two is unexpected. This team has really

988
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: come together for all the reasons we've talked about. It

989
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: was extremely impressive. When I know people are gonna poo

990
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: poo it because it was Carolina, but like, you beat

991
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: anybody forty to seven, and oh, by the way, your

992
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: quarterback got hurt on his first offensive drive. You did

993
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: something really right and it's just the epitome of kind

994
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: of where this thing is going. You played on the

995
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: greatest show on turf rams right, and the thing that

996
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: people forget about when it turned for them was it

997
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: did happen kind of overnight, like that was a four

998
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 1: and twelve team. And then the next year Trent Green

999
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: gets hurt and Kurt Owner comes in. Kurt Owners not

1000
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: the number two overall pick who won a Heisman Trophy,

1001
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: And you guys had one of the greatest offenses of

1002
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: all time and that went on a good, what three

1003
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: to five year run where it was the greatest show

1004
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: on turf And number of these people are Hall of

1005
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: famers now, Tory Hold, Isaac Bruce, you know, Marshall Falk,

1006
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, and then hopefully you in the very near

1007
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: future as well, Yeah, Orlando Pace, hopefully you in the

1008
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: very near future. Does this Can you compare this at

1009
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: all to like it that? It's the one part of

1010
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: this that seems to compare to me. I don't think

1011
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: anybody saw that coming when it happened, and I think

1012
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: now in twenty twenty four, nobody saw this coming together

1013
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: so fast with this team.

1014
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I don't want It's hard for me to

1015
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 3: compare it to that because that not offense.

1016
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 2: Both are explosive. Yes, it was.

1017
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 3: That offense was you know, more of an aerial attack,

1018
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 3: and man it was it was two plays in the

1019
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 3: end zone.

1020
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: So it was just Warner's accuracy.

1021
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, A see his story.

1022
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: It was a storybook, you know, Disney World type movie

1023
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 3: because of his story and all that other stuff. Defensively,

1024
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 3: we were we were top five defense as well. That's

1025
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 3: that's the thing that people don't talk about a lot.

1026
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 3: But I will say this, the quick turnaround and also

1027
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 3: the kind of tempered you know, people just kind of

1028
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 3: waiting to see is this real? Those are comparisons where

1029
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 3: like is this real? The Rams? Are we a legitimate contender?

1030
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 3: And as the season continued to progress and go, and

1031
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 3: we just kept winning and blowing people out, and it's like, no,

1032
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 3: we're We're legit. And I think that's what that's That

1033
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 3: would definitely be a similarity where people will find out

1034
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 3: and realize, no, this is this team is legit and

1035
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 3: they're here to stay and they're not going anywhere.

1036
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: So like obviously Dick for Meal is not dan Quinn,

1037
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: but I think similarly, very personal relationships with his players.

1038
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: They want to play for him. I know you had

1039
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: the experience and you've ben close with him for years.

1040
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say that the camaraderie, the chemistry, just

1041
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 3: we we hung out a lot off the field, love

1042
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 3: being around each other. I see that from a similarity standpoint,

1043
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 3: These guys seem like they enjoy being around each other

1044
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: and that true family type atmosphere, and it was the

1045
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 3: head coach who set that culture.

1046
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: You know. It is interesting though, like back in the summer,

1047
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: it's not that anyone well, no one was asking Washington,

1048
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: are you gonna have a breakout year, because I don't

1049
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: think anyone just perceived it to happen for so many reasons.

1050
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 1: Rookie quarterback, it's not typical for it to happen, thirty

1051
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: new players, new coaching. It's just baked in that it's

1052
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna be whatever it is. The Eagles and Dallas both

1053
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: have very good teams, so nobody's projecting them to even

1054
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: win the division, right, But in the summer you could

1055
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: feel the confidence. But until they start playing, it goes

1056
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: back to we're waiting for the other shoe to drop.

1057
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: History here of not winning very much with the Rams.

1058
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: I think that's where that's where I kind of see

1059
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: the similarity too. But you lived it where there couldn't

1060
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: have been anybody in the summer that was like, you

1061
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: know what, you know, guess what, They're gonna be the

1062
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: best team in the NFL. There's nobody that could have

1063
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: possibly been.

1064
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 3: Saying the Rams and the Bengals were the losing his

1065
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 3: teams in the nineties. As you mentioned the year with

1066
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 3: ninety eight ninety eight season we went four and twelve.

1067
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 2: So there was Dick Vermeill. He was He was coaching

1068
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 2: for his job.

1069
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 3: There was no if as a butt, no secret, no

1070
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 3: mystery to that he was coaching for his job.

1071
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 2: He was.

1072
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 3: I think they won maybe five games his first year

1073
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 3: in ninety seven, for his second season in ninety eight,

1074
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 3: So I mean, this was it.

1075
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: This was it for him.

1076
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: Did you know though, in the summer or early in

1077
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: the season, like did you have to see it to

1078
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: believe it? Or did you know early people are underrating us?

1079
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: Underrated's not even the right word for it, because you

1080
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: guys ended up being the best team in the NFL

1081
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: by far. Specifically offense.

1082
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 3: We knew that offense was going against that offense every

1083
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 3: day of practice. We knew they were going to be

1084
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 3: a problem. They had so much speed. And then we

1085
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 3: traded for Marshall Falk. So the speed Marshall Falk drafted

1086
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 3: Tory ho Isaac Bruce, who hadn't been healthy, was finally healthy.

1087
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 3: I mean, we knew what offense was gonna put up points.

1088
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 3: Now defensively were we going to be able to and

1089
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 3: we were a solid defense the prior you was it

1090
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 3: going to be what we're going to be able to

1091
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 3: put it all together?

1092
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's interesting because that's what's happening here. Yes,

1093
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: because I don't know how they would qualify at the coaches,

1094
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: but you know, on certain areas like the run game defense,

1095
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: they've given up a ton of passing touchdowns this year.

1096
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: They hadn't been getting a lot of turnovers. They want

1097
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: to see that turn the corner. And what we're finding

1098
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: here is is this offense is a well oiled machine

1099
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: to the point where the backup could come in. And

1100
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: I know that's not your normal backup. That's a long

1101
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: time veteran who's a Heisman Trophy Winnerho's been a starter

1102
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: for a long time. But still he's the backup, and

1103
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: you still like nothing changed you're walking up and down

1104
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: the field. It does feel very well oiled to the

1105
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: point where if the defense can get marginally better from

1106
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: where it is, there might be special things.

1107
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 3: And I will say this too. Special teams was a

1108
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 3: huge part of our success. We had great coverage units,

1109
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 3: but our returns, our return game, we had a couple

1110
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 3: kickoff returns for touchdowns, a couple of punt returns for touchdowns.

1111
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 3: So we want to see we've been Our coverage units

1112
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: have been outstanding. I feel like we're on the cusp

1113
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 3: of breaking some of these returns, whether it's in the

1114
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 3: punk game or the kickoff return game. You know that's

1115
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 3: those are going to be elements that you know, if

1116
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 3: that those things started to pop up to watch out.

1117
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: We don't have a nickname yet for this team. They

1118
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: got great show off turf. Let's see what happens a

1119
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: little more time for nickname.

1120
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's let's just take it one game before we

1121
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 3: start throwing out nigga.

1122
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm in it. I'm wrapped up in it, and you

1123
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: know what, I believe what I see, So you know what,

1124
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll take your submissions and recommendations for nicknames for this.

1125
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I'm a picket, but I'll take

1126
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: the recommendations because it's hard to not look at this

1127
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: and go that's real. And we have a special season

1128
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: in front of us, and they got some decisions to

1129
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: make as the trade deadline approaches because you know, I

1130
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 1: would argue this team should bolster its roster and give

1131
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: these guys a shot them in.

1132
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I'm sure they're doing that due

1133
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 3: diligence on people that are out there and they know

1134
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 3: they're available. But you also got to figure would that

1135
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 3: person be the right fit for your locker room? Those

1136
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 3: are the things that you got it way heavily. Yeah,

1137
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 3: he might be a great talent, but is he the

1138
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 3: right person to bring into what we're doing here.

1139
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: They got a good locker room going here. I think

1140
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: that's a big part of this. All right, this is

1141
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: a good one. This weekend, CBS flexed it. They want

1142
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: the number one versus number two quarterback. We'll find out

1143
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: later on this week if we're going to get that.

1144
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: Chicago started a little slow, especially on offense. Caleb had

1145
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: a couple of rough games. They've been surging. Their defense

1146
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: is very good, their offense has a ton of weapons.

1147
00:55:58,640 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: Is a heck of a test.

1148
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 3: It is a heck of a test, and you know,

1149
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 3: I wish Chicago hadn't got it going so so quickly.

1150
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 3: So so and then they're coming off a bye week

1151
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 3: as well, so they'll have a little bit more time

1152
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 3: to kind of prepare, but again, I expect us to

1153
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 3: stick to our guns and in terms of our game plan,

1154
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 3: do what we do extremely well. They'll be favorable matchups

1155
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 3: for us, and I'm sure that the Bears will feel

1156
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 3: like they have some matchups that they like. I think

1157
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 3: the pass rush will be key in this game against

1158
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears, because you don't want Caleb to be

1159
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 3: back there sitting around. And I think that's where he's

1160
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 3: really at his best, when he's able to go off

1161
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 3: script and be in that pocket and you know, start

1162
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 3: to run around and do different things.

1163
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 2: So I'm being able to.

1164
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,760
Speaker 1: Boath on that with him. There are some ghastly errors, yes,

1165
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: and there are some Mahomesy like plays, and I think

1166
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: we can all agree. And I'm rooting for him. He's

1167
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: local and they played a Conzact. I'm rooting for him,

1168
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: you know, And I hope he has a great career.

1169
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: I hope it's the first the many between these two quarterbacks.

1170
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: Maybe not so much Sunday, but I'm rooting for him.

1171
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 1: He's gonna be good.

1172
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 2: He's gonna be good.

1173
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: He's when he gets the feel for it. He's gonna

1174
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: get real good. I think he's still in the middle

1175
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: of He's gonna play his way very instinctual, but at

1176
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: this level it's gonna cost him sometimes.

1177
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 3: It is sometimes, and I think you know him developing

1178
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 3: and getting understanding NFL defenses, like the speed of NFL defenses,

1179
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 3: the disguises and things like that. But the Bears looking

1180
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 3: at their defense and I don't know the stats and

1181
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 3: where they are in terms of stopping a run. I

1182
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 3: know they've made a lot of plays down the stretch

1183
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 3: last season, but are they going to be at app

1184
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 3: to be able to stop our run game. We don't

1185
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 3: know who's gonna be the quarterback, so you know, those

1186
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 3: depth type of things gonna change, are they I know

1187
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 3: they got a heck of a corner in Jalen Johnson,

1188
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 3: so it'll be a fun match.

1189
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 2: Motivated, get fun matchup. I can't wait to see it.

1190
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Quinn called last week the first heavyweight fight that

1191
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: they had. I don't know if this is heavyweight yet,

1192
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: but it's close, and it's close, and it's NFC game,

1193
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: and that's a four and two team. They're a contender too,

1194
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: and go look at their weapons that they have. They're

1195
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: feeling very positive that they might have a special season

1196
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: ahead of them too.

1197
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: I really, man, they got they got weapons. But I

1198
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 3: was so impressed with the defensive game plan that Joe

1199
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 3: would put Joe with Jr. And his coaching staff put

1200
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 3: together against the Carolina Panthers. I'm I'm looking forward to seeing,

1201
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,439
Speaker 3: like how they're gonna what kind of plan we're gonna

1202
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 3: have for DJ Moore, Keenan Allen over there now.

1203
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 2: So roll ma doonzy you know.

1204
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 3: Those co co comment Yes, So just just that's the

1205
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 3: great thing about this sport. Every week you have a

1206
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 3: new challenge. And if you can't get up for this game, man,

1207
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 3: which I know we will be up for the game.

1208
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 3: This is gonna be Saturday Sunday at four twentyna be special.

1209
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be the first of many between

1210
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: these two teams over the next however many years. With

1211
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 1: these two quarterbacks and where things are kind of going,

1212
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: it feels like the roads over the next few years

1213
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: may be going through one of these two spots.

1214
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: I just hope they're going through Northwest Day they were

1215
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 2: so old in Chicago.

1216
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: A playoff game with Chicago, it will go a long

1217
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: way to making that happen and they went on Sunday

1218
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: at least.

1219
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would I would rather have those playoff games

1220
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 3: at Northwest.

1221
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: Go ask Daryl Green about that. He had a good

1222
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: answer about that.

1223
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll be up in the booth.

1224
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: But this windows closed for once maybe minus four whatever.

1225
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: It is, all right, Big Fletch five and two. It's

1226
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good. I can't wait for this weekend.

1227
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 2: Ah man, I'm looking forward to it. Feeling great.

1228
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for the Booth review. We'll

1229
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: see you next week.
