9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a weak kids. If there's a if

12
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: everybody a little bit. The whole the whole area is sick. Yes,

13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: state of Ohio is ill. Everyone's fighting it off. So

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: you got that going on. He's not here because he's

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: who knows, he's was done in. We're doing the game Saturday.

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: It's fine, everything's great, no problems. About two minute warning

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: before halftime, I hear a crack and I just look

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: up and I go what I say, I'm not it's

19
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: too much, it's too much. It's a Monday. He can't

20
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: handle it. I'm not. I'm not the guy that's gonna

21
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: go on. He's got a lot of good stuff. Yes,

22
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: he does. How he operates, he would have access to

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: some of that. I would think he might. At the

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: two minute warning, there's a crack. I literally look up,

25
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: I go, oh, no, halftime, I said, don't you leave

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: this booth, don't go talk to anybody, and he goes,

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: it's just a little crack. I'm like, uh, well, we're

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: gonna need to get this. We have another two hours here, kids,

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: And I said, young Connor, I'm like, go find me

30
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: as much tea lemon as possible. Have him start sucking

31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: it down like it's just vodka or tequila, like, get

32
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: it going the spirit of your choosing. And he was

33
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: good up until like the very end, and then he

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: just got excited because he thought he was done, not

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: remembering that he had the two minute drilled downstairs to tape.

36
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: So the video guys are like, what did you do

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: to I'm like, he was fine until the two minute warning,

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: and then he just kind of let it go. And well,

39
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: the funny thing about it in this profession that we've

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: chosen is that you know a lot of people have

41
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: a scratchy voice and you can you know, like you

42
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: still go to the job like this one. This part

43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: is important. This mechanism is kind of the key of

44
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the whole operation when it starts to go. And you know,

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: now this time of year, I mean, I've never seen

46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: people this sick like it's that so many people sick.

47
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: It is a crazy amount. So but I will say this,

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: I um was, I was, was watched the game. We

49
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: had basketball all throughout the weekend, and so I cursed

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot of course. Uh boy, that out in Hiram

51
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: by the way, that's gorgeous, Jim gold old barn out there,

52
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: the college. Yeah yeah, it was awesome. It's a nice

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: little facility. Yeah yeah. Um but I I ended up

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: listening so DVR the game, watched the game live when

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: I could, and then was listening and I would just say,

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: and I would say this to him if he was

57
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: here right now, that that's a pure joy broadcast in

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: a win. Jim is the best in the business. And

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Z's enthusiasm for it all and the way you run

60
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: it it was awesome. It was you feel like you're there,

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean you really do. You're driving around, you feel

62
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: like you're in the booth with you guys. It was

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: a hell of a call. It's made better of course

64
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: by a win. Um that helps. And so it is

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: thirteen three. It is a victory Monday edition of the program. Um.

66
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: There was a moment give a second half where um,

67
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: we got Huntley Huntley, back to back sacks Miles and

68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: then Perry and Miles. And there was after on the

69
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Perry and Aisles one. There was the little dance in

70
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: the celebration. And as I'm watching this thing, I'm thinking

71
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: to myself that the only thing, the overwhelming thought I

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: had was Uh, good for you you two. Good for

73
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: you all on that field, Good for you all on

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: that sideline, good for you all in that building. Um

75
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: it was. This has been a tough year. This has

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: not gone the way that we had hoped that it

77
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: would go, needless to say, um, and if you watched

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: around the league yesterday, you saw some of the most heartbreaking,

79
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: absurd finishes in this history of the sport. And we've

80
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: had one of those against the Jets. We we lived it.

81
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we walked into Friday, the score is going

82
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: this is all gonna be a horrible weekend for football.

83
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: It was I think we were we were entertaining. But

84
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: you know, you've got a snow globe night in Cleveland.

85
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: It was awesome you got. I mean, the white face

86
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: masks look amazing. I prefer the white pants, but I

87
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: understand the love of this. Look the white the white

88
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: face mans looked amazing. You saw give a damn. And

89
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: one thing that is really important this time of year, um,

90
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: is that that that that's there, that you want to

91
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: be there, that there is belief. There isn't anybody in

92
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: that locker room downstairs right now who quit on anybody

93
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: in this organization, anybody on the coaching staff, anybody in

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: the front office, ownership, didn't quit for you the fan.

95
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: They fought like hell in a kind of a sluggish

96
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, the field goal stuff, it's brutal, man, it's

97
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: brutal to miss that stuff. It's tough, um. But what

98
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: you got was an incredible amount of give a damn

99
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: to get a win against a division rival, keep a

100
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: glimmer of playoff hope, alive, damage their chances at winning

101
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: the division. You do Cincinnati a favor in this case,

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: said Cincinnati's gonna catch him anyway. Um. But there I

103
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: was happy for all of those reasons, but mostly because

104
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: you saw players who still were having a ball playing

105
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: the sport, who cared tremendously to be there. It was.

106
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: It was a fantastic game. Shout out to all the

107
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: fans that came stuck it out because there were some

108
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: ugly moments, but that that is a f C North football,

109
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: and that's a f C North football when you have

110
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: two really good football teams, that is what your football team.

111
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: And this is what we thought that we were getting

112
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: all along. I mean that's the first month of the year. Yeah,

113
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, you pull out the rest of whatever hair

114
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: I have left on my head. But the defense is

115
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: just playing well and every week Deshaun Watson takes another

116
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: step and more importantly, the offense takes a step around him.

117
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: Better protection, better job by the offensive line against a

118
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: premier defensive front. Yeah, that defense was a top five

119
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: defense in the league. You're running game got going, everybody's

120
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: finding their way, the new quarterback and it's starting to

121
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: settle in. I know it's only thirteen points, but you

122
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: weren't going to score forty on the Baltimore Ravens. Great

123
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: game would effort all the way around the third down

124
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: play again in the second half where um Baltimore is

125
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: in cover zero full blitz and Sean runs like a

126
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: bat out of hell and he gives the bone arrows,

127
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, the bone arrows, uh, celebration on the end

128
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: of it and points first down and you go, that's it.

129
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: There's the that's it. You're waiting on that, right you were.

130
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: We've been waiting to get a little taste of that.

131
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: It's been building towards that. When you take somebody that

132
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: is this supremely talented, you knew it was going to

133
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: click eventually. And he's even acknowledged he's still not where

134
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: he needs to be. He's not there. Um. I think

135
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: probably hope that it would come quicker, that he would

136
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: jump right back in. But seven hundred days is seven

137
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: hundred days, and it's been felt and trying to sort

138
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: out with new guys, all of that's been felt. But

139
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: you are seeing with each passing snap and improvement that's

140
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: tangible and you can see it. He's more comfortable, that

141
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: people around him are more comfortable. He lifts everybody else too.

142
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: You can see it. Even on the defense. His his impact,

143
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: his presence is so obvious. Um, that was a fun one. Man,

144
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy that I was thrilled that everybody involved

145
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: got to got to feel that Saturday night down at

146
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: the stadium. Because you're not gonna feel a damn thing

147
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: this Saturday. Well you're gonna feel something cold, well maybe

148
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: and then nothing but kidgets might fall out. You know

149
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: what it is? You need a coat like that one

150
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: right there, that one right there, that's the coat. Ice beer, Baby,

151
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: ice beer is making a return this weekend like slushies, slushies, beer, slushies.

152
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: I love what it is. So folks, if you haven't,

153
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,720

167
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: I was talking to my wife about this. Normally, by

168
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: like the first or second weekend in December, you've got

169
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: your first snowfall, like substantial, like your first slap across

170
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: the face of winter. We have not gotten that that

171
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: has not come. I don't remember the last time that

172
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: we had more than like a couple inches of snow

173
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: for Christmas. Uh, you're gonna have a little more than that.

174
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm gonna have. Even if the main part

175
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: of the storm doesn't hit us, you're gonna end up

176
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: with a tremendous amount of snow. It's gonna be fun.

177
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. Kids. I sat in the dog punch,

178
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: I made snowballs. Maybe you're gonna need Yeah, just bundle

179
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: like think about Buffalo kids. Yeah, with the extra layers on.

180
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: Get the warmers, get the toe warmers, get the handwarmers.

181
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, you think New Orleans is looking

182
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: forward to coming here, oh boy, no, no, we want

183
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: you to leave the dome in Louisiana and come here

184
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. Yeah. Um, I'll tell you what. Having played

185
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: in temperatures like this many many years ago, everything just

186
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: hurts worse. Run from contact is the operation. So um,

187
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: you have that to look forward to, which is nice.

188
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: There is a glimmer of playoff hope that is out

189
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: there flickering. Um. It was done some favors by New

190
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: England losing. It was done some favors by the Jets losing.

191
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: It's a minimal amount. Um. You need a lot of help, um,

192
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: But every time the Jets the Patriots lose. Um, if

193
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers or Dolphins can lose, although those are more

194
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: tall tasks, all of those things help. And so it

195
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: was a good weekend in that sense. And that those

196
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: two teams lost. You just keep winning. Yeah, you nine

197
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: and eight and you're gonna need some help. But guess

198
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: what on the little on the little chart last night,

199
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: there's that brown helmet. There's the brown and orange helmet. Yep,

200
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: you're in the mix. And you're in the mix. It

201
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: was um. So yesterday as you had a chance to

202
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: actually watch football, and I wanted to get your thoughts

203
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: on the World Cup thing too as well, um, because

204
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: that was unbelievable. You had I don't think I've ever seen, um,

205
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: what I saw in Vegas with New England, I've never seen.

206
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: The only thing I can think is Jacoby Myers must

207
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: have thought they were losing. There's no other reason for

208
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: him to just blind to what he did, other than

209
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: to think that they had that they were losing the game,

210
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: like they were clearly playing for overtime. They just ran it.

211
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: Belichick said afterwards, what we didn't have a quarterback could

212
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: throw it all the way. Um. It's not a great endorsement,

213
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: but it was an example of I think he had

214
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: to think if you cooked him up to a light detector,

215
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: you would have had to have thought they were losing. Um,

216
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: but there was that. There was the Cowboys loss, just

217
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: stupefying results around the league. Batted balls leading into intercept

218
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: or in interceptions the way the Cowboys lost last night

219
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football, the Commies losing the way they did,

220
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: where Terry mclaurin's like, I'm on the line, right, moves up,

221
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: I'm good. Nope, penalty. Bad weekend for the officials in

222
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: the NFL, top to bottom every game, significant missed calls

223
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: or blown calls. Yeah, um, this one, this one goes

224
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: in the books for US six and eight now on

225
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: the season, A winning record I think matters for this team, Um, Gibby,

226
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: I also I think, and this goes back to the

227
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: point I was making off the top about Miles and

228
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: Perion and all of that, Um, the feel of it's important.

229
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: I think it's important for DeShawn to go five and one.

230
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: You know, with with DeShawn Watson's the quarterback. Um, even

231
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: if you don't make the postseason, they get you to

232
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: nine and eight. That's a winning record. UM, a winning season.

233
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: It gets you into next season with a ton of

234
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: momentum and belief. And this is a sport where the

235
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: margins are so thin that belief goes a long way.

236
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: And I think this team can have it if it finishes.

237
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: You can see it starting to build a little bit. Yeah,

238
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: every week he gets more and more comfortable playing. There

239
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: were moments under center, moments out of the shotgun. Uh,

240
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: his ability to run and make plays with his legs. Uh,

241
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: the arm accuracy, you could you could tell Amari Cooper.

242
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: It was really the first week he and Coop. I

243
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: think we're really dialed in together. Yeah, and Coop made

244
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: some great plays. I mean your Your playmakers are all

245
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: on the field. Dpje with some good plays, had a

246
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: big touchdown. Najoku hurtled someone again, you know, and god,

247
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: he's just walking around, just walk Saturday. Let's see you

248
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: without the shirt on. Let's see what happens. No chief

249
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: talking about I'm pointing with the camera. I'm the camera.

250
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Got It's it's all fun and games. I'll tell you

251
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: go out in a blizzard without the shirt. Don't do it, Yes,

252
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: you gotta. We'll ask ger Ode this because he'll definitely

253
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: have some tricks. Um. But I have asked your Ode

254
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: how many layers he wore on Saturday, because when I

255
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: thought he was done layering up more, there was another layer,

256
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: and then there was another layer. It was like doing

257
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: a shot every ten minutes, but it was instead him

258
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: putting on another layer of cloth. And the problem with

259
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: the layer, I mean, the one thing about the layer wearing,

260
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: which is the only way you can do it. But

261
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: then when you take it all off, it feels like

262
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: everything opens because it's so good, everything so constricted. All

263
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: night he left some tips probably too on the cold weather. Again,

264
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: though you're just you're seeing play players make plays. I

265
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: mean we were terrified. We didn't know what we were

266
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: going to get out of the linebacker position, simply because

267
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: of how many guys are done. The last two weeks,

268
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: we've lost a linebacker for the year talkie talkie, uh

269
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: j ok And it was just next me. Dion Jones

270
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: had a fantastic game at the linebacker position. And I

271
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: know people are gonna say, well, I mean Dobbins was

272
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: getting almost ten yards to carry, okay, but they didn't

273
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. It was a bend but dumb break, that's

274
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: what it was. It was. We'll give you every and then,

275
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: by the way, Mr never misses Mrs Field goals too. Yeah,

276
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't happen. That guy doesn't miss. We

277
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: were talking about that last week on the show. What

278
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: were the distances on those two he Tucker Field goals

279
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: he had and then he missed Okay, so they're right

280
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: on that edge. But like those he does not miss normally,

281
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: like historically at all, uh and missed a couple of them.

282
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: Katee hit two, missed two, um and so that's you know,

283
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: that's a if. That was the only thing I will

284
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: say is as you were in the fourth quarter and

285
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: you're saying just let's just put this thing away one

286
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: we think, yeah, and you could. At that point I

287
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: was en route and I heard Jim Jimmy talking about it.

288
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: He was just you know, just almost like banging for

289
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: one so that it could be we're done, right, I

290
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: mean that we're just give me one so we're done.

291
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: And um, and it it just didn't happen. So and

292
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: if he does have to figure out that stadium, because

293
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: it's in his head now a little bit. Um, it's

294
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: amazing what he what he doesn't warm up and all

295
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: of that, But the stadium is different. We've talked about

296
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: it with Bernie, We've talked about it with Phil Dawson.

297
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: Like it's just the thing is a different animal. And

298
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: you can feel, you can see that it's mental for

299
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: him because it's it's not skill. The skills there in spades.

300
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: It was maddening, and that was the only part because

301
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: you were on the cusp of winning this football game

302
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: and really just if you had gotten another touchdown, it

303
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: could have turned into a little bit of a route.

304
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: But like you went, you went interception, fumble, block, field goal, turnover,

305
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: on downs and you're coming away with nothing. You know,

306
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: you missed on two of those you missed field goals

307
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: and you're just like, come on, let's go, let's go,

308
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: like there was never any I don't think the Ravens

309
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: showed you a lot of panic because I think the

310
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: Ravens were like, well, we've done this before on them. Yeah,

311
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: but this time the defense they really could not come back. No, no,

312
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right on the Dobbins ten yards to

313
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: carry um Huntley. It was Huntley. There was nothing spectacular there,

314
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: but it was just every time you needed to stop,

315
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: you got one um and you gotta win. That feels

316
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: pretty damn good for everybody. Goes into books again, great job.

317
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: I had a number of friends that were at the game.

318
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: They said it was just awesome. Everybody's hanging out like

319
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: the singalongs in entertainment, like a snow globe. Yes in

320
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when you knew you were gonna win

321
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: the game, just a big party. Yeah, and that's what

322
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Saturday fan Appreciation Day. Come on, now,

323
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: let's go. I'll be there. I think we might have

324
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: to leave it like four in the morning to get there.

325
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: Can we have can can you build fires in like

326
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: the aisles? I don't I don't know what I'm like,

327
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: do I have to spend first energy? Do I have

328
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: to sleep like in the in the booth so I

329
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: know that I'm there. I mean, this is if if

330
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: this holds a significant weather event is what if this holds?

331
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: This is a red right eighty eight situation. I mean,

332
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: like that temperature that feels like temperature minus four teens

333
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: a full day. That's a full day, by the way,

334
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: text from my pops this morning out of the Ponderosa

335
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: windshill minus fifty out in Big Sky Country. Yeah, nothing

336
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: that look forward to. Yeah, so every time you see Yellowstone,

337
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: you're like, well, I can't wait to move out there

338
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: and move cows in sixty six degrees. No, no, no,

339
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: that's what's going on out there. Right. How many months

340
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: out of the year is the weather like it's a

341
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, like probably three you know, June, July, August, September.

342
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: Not that different than us. It's just much colder when cold.

343
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: Like Denver. I saw this. Denver has like forty seven Thursday.

344
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: This is what happens out west. Denver has forty seven

345
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: like on Thursday, and then minus thirteen on Friday. Like

346
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: you have those sixty degree temperature swings that happened. Um,

347
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Happy twenty nine birthday to the great Brad Melon.

348
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: The pursuit of excellence continues with him, the equipment equipment manager,

349
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: the great man. Happy birthday to him. Yeah, one of

350
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: the winners of the NFL Equipment Manager of the Year Award. Yep.

351
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: Maybe one day we'll get a hoodie. Who knows, Maybe

352
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: maybe one day, you know what, I think it would

353
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: be great if he just brought I'm up here right

354
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: now one time, Like, if you can only get it once,

355
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: this is the one time you could get it. If

356
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: you're not in the building, you can't. I guess what

357
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: came to that. That's the way that that goes. Hey,

358
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to throw something at you. This is a

359
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: we don't need a big long discussion, but I just

360
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: want to throw something at you. All things considered, Is

361
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: it in play that that World Cup Final was the

362
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: greatest sporting event of all time? Messi's historical situation. Maradona

363
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: passes this year for Argentina. It's too zip to three

364
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: to three three two p ks and had a hat trick.

365
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Mess has two goals, Like it's all anyone was talking

366
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: about yesterday morning, whether it were social or in and

367
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: out of basketball stuff leading into the NFL, It's the

368
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: only thing anyone was talking about. It was amazing. I mean,

369
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: think about it the historical perspective, like he became maybe

370
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: the goat, the greatest of all time and Bob, maybe

371
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: we will have a chance to chase him. All of that. Well,

372
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: how often do get essentially a game of that magnitude

373
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: when the two superstars just say, hop on my back,

374
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna carry us, and literally it became a heavyweight

375
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: fight between those two. It's crazy. It was too nothing

376
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: in minute, like this is over, It's gonna happen. This

377
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: is this is the one thing that he didn't do

378
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: is win for a country, and it was held against

379
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: him in any sort of greatest of all time conversation,

380
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: which is crazy, like the fact that Argentina can do

381
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: that with the population and so forth. Um, it was

382
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the one thing and he knew it. And then Imbope

383
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: goes boom boom in the eight first you go well,

384
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, France is the best football and country in

385
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: the world and has been for the last twenty years

386
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: or so. They were going for their third Cup in

387
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years, um back to back cups

388
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: and the Symbobe kids twenty three, like you get one

389
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: two cups at twenty three and Alison, you're chasing Pelee

390
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: for most cups of all that. It was heady stuff. Man,

391
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 1: it was great theater. It really was. Um, a lot

392
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: of kids watching, a lot of people. Every I bet

393
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: the numbers on it are gonna be astronomical youth soccer

394
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: a year from now. Where are we at well that

395
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: we won't be anywhere. We have a little bit of

396
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: a spike. One of the things, well true. One of

397
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: the thing I would say quickly on it, it's he's

398
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: the latest in the line of that includes like Tiger Woods,

399
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: the Williams sisters, Lebron, James and and him who were

400
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: identified at fifteen or sixteen as different and then delivered

401
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: on all of it, Like you think what we've watched

402
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, Hey, pay attention to this guy.

403
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna be great. And then god, I'm mighty, they

404
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: did it. They seeded it like that's a usually. I mean,

405
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: you think about the pressure of expectation, the burden of it,

406
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: and to live up to all of that, and he

407
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: was another one amazing game. It was kicked off at

408
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: a ridiculously stupid weekend, crazy weekend in the league. Saturday

409
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: kicked off the stupid weekend. Well, that's true. Thirty three

410
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: to nothing. We forget about that thirty three to nothing.

411
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,840

00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: a really good football team division opponent, uh, you know,

457
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: night game. All those things just was a really really

458
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: hard fought, solid team win that we set out to

459
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: go chief, So, uh proud of the effort. And then

460
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: we got to get to uh get to know the

461
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: Saints this week, a team that we really haven't played

462
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: since I've been here. Um, so we really got to

463
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: do our homework and understand our opponent coming in next week.

464
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: That's where our focus coaes, But I will take any

465
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: questions you guys, Yes, Kevin wondering, Um, why is DeShawn

466
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: so well suited to, you know, the no huddle? How

467
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: much leeway are you giving him in terms of, you know,

468
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: what he can do when he's out there, and are

469
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: you just really starting to imagine all the possibilities of

470
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: all the things that that this player can do for you? Yeah,

471
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think DeShawn certainly is getting more and

472
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: more comfortable Mary kay and what we're doing. We did

473
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: do some no huddle and uh, this last game, we

474
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: did some no huddle down at Cincinnati. It's been part

475
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: of who we've been this season. Back when we played

476
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore in the first game, we did some no huddle

477
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: with your Kobe. So it's certainly part of our system.

478
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's really game by game. The matchups,

479
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: the certain things you're trying to do dictate how often

480
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: and if you get into it at all. So this

481
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: week you could be a no huddle the whole game,

482
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: you may not get into it at all, really just

483
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: depending on what you're expecting from your opponent and when

484
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: he talks about you know, hey, I can do the

485
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: kinds of things that Patrick and do let me have

486
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: a chance to do the no lookers and and all

487
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: that stuff. Are are you you know, how excited are

488
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: you that he can do that kind of stuff? Yeah?

489
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: You know, I see it in practice, Mary Kase, so

490
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: I I certainly know what the Shawn is capable of. Uh,

491
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: and he sees it really really well. He had some

492
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: plays in the game yesterday. Uh, you know one in

493
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: particular what I'm thinking about, where he has an uncanny

494
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: ability to to make some throws in tight, tough windows.

495
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: So it's definitely a part of his game and a

496
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: part of that our game that will continue to grow. Hey, Kevin,

497
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: I was running the run game. Um, when you went

498
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: back and watched it, Why were we able to have

499
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: um good success against a really tough run defense. Yeah?

500
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: They are really tough, Scott. I think they were maybe

501
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: six going into it. Um, they have they have a

502
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: very good scheme, and they got very good players. They're

503
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: they're stout up front, they got good edge players. The

504
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: two linebackers are very very instinctive and fast safeties that

505
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: can fill. So we knew it was gonna be a challenge.

506
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: We try had to get into some advantageous looks for

507
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: us throughout the game and then really in the second half.

508
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm really just proud of the guys. I think we

509
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: possessed the ball over eleven minutes in the fourth quarter,

510
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: and I know it didn't have a ton of points

511
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: to show for it, but kept the ball away from them,

512
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: grinded it out when we needed to. Like what were

513
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: the week before in Cincinnati obviously wasn't as good. So

514
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: what did you think you guys get better? Yeah, it's

515
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: all you know, it's it's complicated, you know, it's it's

516
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of different things that I'd start with myself

517
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: and us as coaches, making sure we give these guys

518
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: a plan that they can execute, asking them to do

519
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: things that they can do. And then I thought, again,

520
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: the individual effort was outstanding. The offensive line was really

521
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: really good. Uh, you know in the run game and

522
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: in the protection. I thought they protected very very well yesterday.

523
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: But you win some one on one matchups up front,

524
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: and that's when Nick and Kareem can get going, uh,

525
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: making one guy missing and they can be big place. Hey,

526
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 1: Kevin and we talked to Joe Woods on I think

527
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: it was Wednesday. He talked about simplifying the defense so

528
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: the guys could play fast. Did that happen and and

529
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: how how do you condense that um detiens of game plan? Yeah,

530
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's always a unique game plan when you're

531
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: playing Baltimore. They have a varied attack. As you know,

532
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: they can get big. They have the quarterback run game

533
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: that you have to concern yourself with. So you're always

534
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: trying to play simple. But give your guys answers, give

535
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: your guys some some different movements or what it may

536
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: be to try to stop slow down that run. So

537
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: at times we did it. At times they got us,

538
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: and and you know, they had some good plays, they

539
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: had some good schemes. At the end of the day,

540
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: we made enough plays in some critical moments. But we're

541
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: going to continue to try to put together a plan

542
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: that gives our guys a chance to play fast. So really,

543
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: three of the last four games, especially maybe Cincinnati not

544
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: as much, but the defense has really played well. What

545
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: do you think has been the difference? Yeah, you know,

546
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: I can kind of just think about yesterday. I mean,

547
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: guys played, we made place. I think that's it's always

548
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: a game where you gotta make some plays. And I

549
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 1: think you know, Denzel making a big interception, John Johnson

550
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: having a big force fumble. Uh. You know we've alluded

551
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: to takeaways how important they are because it does cover

552
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: you up. You can you may give up some plays

553
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: in the course of a drive, but when you take

554
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: it away, that ultimately is what you're looking to do. Uh. Yeah,

555
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: just um in in looking at j j threes game,

556
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: it looked to me like that was kind of I

557
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: would think maybe his best game of the season. Just

558
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: wondering if you sort of saw it that way. And also, um,

559
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: you know in the past he's done so many different things,

560
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: played so many different roles. Do you think there's more

561
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: to j J three that that meets the eye? And

562
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: then as you guys go forward, can you pull more

563
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: out of him? Yeah? I can't think it's hard for

564
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: me to compare to the rest of the season. But

565
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: speaking of yesterday, he was all over the field. You know,

566
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: he's our dot, so he makes the calls in that huddle.

567
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: So when he's not out there, obviously there's a transition

568
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 1: that has to take place. But you know, I think

569
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: he was around the ball. I thought he tackled well. Uh,

570
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: he's the type of guy he does have versatility where

571
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: we do can play him down low, we can't play

572
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: him in the post. He can play half field, so

573
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: he does kind of show up and then you know,

574
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: he's played really well for us on our punt team

575
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: as well. Kevin, you referenced it with getting the takeover

576
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: the takeaways at the end of you know, to stop

577
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: some of those drives that they were having. Um. But

578
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: like if there a good lesson there for the guys that, hey,

579
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: you can give up almost two of our drushing, but

580
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: if you make the right plays at the right time,

581
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: you can still win games. Yeah, I do think there's

582
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: That's why we put so much emphasis on turnover margin

583
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: and how we take care of the ball. I mean,

584
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: zero giveaways versus that deep defense and that team is

585
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: a big deal. And then taking it away versus that

586
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: team is a very big deal. So it's definitely something

587
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: you emphasize. And in the course of emphasizing, you don't say, hey,

588
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 1: let's give up a bunch of yards um. But there

589
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: is an element as we all know, and you watch

590
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: football on on you watch it today on Sunday, but

591
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: there is ben but don't break that does happen on

592
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: defense at times, and when you make a big play

593
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: on on a third down or a fourth down, when

594
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: you make a big playoff first and ten like JJ

595
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: did knock the ball out, those those are changing the

596
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: course of the games. When you talk about turning the

597
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: ball over, well, there's a new way to cheer on

623
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: the the number of layers you had on Saturday? What

624
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: did you end up with? Odds say three? I had

625
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: a turtle nick also had something under armor, and then

626
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: I also had a jacket as well, So it wasn't

627
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: as severe as I thought it would be, to be

628
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: honest with you, But I also had a head covering,

629
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: also had a beanie hat on, and then I had

630
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: some grey had some tights underneath that. And if you

631
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: want to count my underwear, as well. So I was

632
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: pretty layer dog I was gonna say. I'm like, yeah,

633
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: I started. I looked behind me at one point for

634
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: like forty five minutes away from kick, and like Clay

635
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: is helping him, like put gear on and get them

636
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: all situated, and I'm like, man, if you think this

637
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: week's bad, next week I have looked ahead and here's

638
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: a crazy part. I was more. My biggest concern going

639
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: in this year about the sideline piece wasn't talking or

640
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: anything like that. It was like, well, I'd be able

641
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: to actually communicate to you guys when it's cold out,

642
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: because Jay knows I am not a fan of cold weather,

643
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: never have been played in it and got through it.

644
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: But you'll never hear me saying it's a football weather.

645
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: Hell with that football weather, my mind is eighty degrees.

646
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: I agree. So as someone who made a living doing

647
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: television before I did everything from the warmth of the studios,

648
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you that what you will face uh

649
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: Saturday will be the hardest and the reason for exactly

650
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, because what well, because we're talking

651
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: about fourteen degrees and a field tamp of like minus

652
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: eight or something like that, it holds you know. So

653
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: the hard thing is going to be your mouth will

654
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: defy you. It's like to make any sense, but it

655
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: is hard to talk. It's almost like you're intoxicated because

656
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: you cannot move your mouth the way you want to.

657
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: So that will be something to to be prepared for

658
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: for Saturday. My friend, well, certainly. Well sometimes I talk

659
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: too fast anyway, so it might just bounce itself out both.

660
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Hey man, look this was I led the show at

661
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: this I thought it was Um. I thought it was

662
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: a really fun win. Um was everything good perfect? No,

663
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: far from it. Many things to work on, yes, But

664
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: there was a play at the end of the in

665
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: the third in the second half where there were a

666
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: couple of plays back to back where Miles got the

667
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: two sacks and one of them was with Perion, and

668
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: you just saw the celebration and the dancing, and I

669
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: just think, you know what, this is an organization that

670
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: this did not go according to plan this season. But

671
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: there was that that was a moment where like, on

672
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: this night in the slow in a snow globe, let's

673
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: have a little fun and beat a division rival. And

674
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: to me, that felt like what it was on Saturday,

675
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: felt like a nice party for everyone involved. I'm talking fans, team, everybody. Yeah,

676
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: and it definitely felt that way as I observed it

677
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: from the sideline as well, watching Perion as well as

678
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Miles celebrate that second and Miles eventually give Perion credit

679
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: for that at least half of it is that how

680
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: I I didn't even look at the stats of it.

681
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: If Perion got half give a did you check a look?

682
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: It was and forth the official score had taken it away.

683
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: Now he got it, he got it, he got a

684
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: half sack half they both met the quarterback where he

685
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: supposed eating at, which is in the middle. But with

686
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: that being said, guys, yeah, when you watched it, that

687
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: was that was definitely a fun part of the game.

688
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: And watching the defense though it had his issues with

689
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: stopping the run and and it's funny with the whole

690
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: stopping the run situation because obviously they have massed a

691
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: lot of yards rushing to football. A lot of people

692
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: like why did they just keep running? Well, the defense

693
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: did a really good job of stopping them when they

694
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: needed to. You can give up, and I'm not saying

695
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: that you make this your calling card whatsoever. And when

696
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: you're on a long part of the football field, trying

697
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: to go to the end zone. Run, Yeah, that's gonna

698
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 1: hurt you. But if it's not in the red zone

699
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: area or the thirty or beyond, they're not scoring points,

700
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: then you're good. So when you look at those yards, yeah,

701
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: it's telling that they have success. And one of the

702
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: reasons why they have successes that the Ravens boat were

703
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: simply sing, if you guys aren't gonna get into a

704
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: numbers game with us where you have more guys or

705
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: equal minded guys to stop us, we're simply gonna run.

706
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: And they were doing that damn near the perfection. Obviously,

707
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: again when we need to share things up, we did

708
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: just that. So that was a certainly what you call

709
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: a bend. But don't break defensive effort on our part, Gerard,

710
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: you do you you know this is look that you're

711
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: you're hanging onto a glimmer of a hope of the postseason.

712
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: But the other part of this, that's that that is

713
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: I think really important for a team that is at

714
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: the time of this game three games under five and

715
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: now two is give a damn level, right, you're trying

716
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: to build You're trying to build culture here, right, and

717
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: Deshaun is gonna be a one man culture tornado, um,

718
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: but but be a pro have give a damn play

719
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: hard to the stretch. I saw that on Saturday, and

720
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: I felt good about it, and I was encouraging because

721
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: I've been tooting that all week. Both this idea of

722
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: they remember the last four, they remember the last four,

723
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: and they do remember the last four? And why do

724
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: they remember the last four? Were they remember the last four?

725
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: Because when you don't technically, but though we do technically

726
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: still have something to play for it from a mathematically

727
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: not eliminated standpoint, they're observing. Who's the guy who's gonna

728
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: go out there and say they're not counting how many

729
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: practices are left. Who's a guy who's saying, you know what,

730
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't care. I want to be a part of

731
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: the of the solution and not the problem. And the

732
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: hardest thing to ascertain from the pro game is that

733
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: but situations like this help you in that cause. Because

734
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: there are some guys and people are shocked to hear this,

735
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: and you shouldn't be. But it's the truth that even

736
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: though they're handsomely paid, we'll say, you know what, I'm

737
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: not gonna work as hard. I'm gonna just get by

738
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: and not and just do my job. You don't want that.

739
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: You want guys that are gonna get a type of

740
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: ever required to win football games and just doing your job.

741
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: That's a start. You don't want to do too much,

742
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: but you certainly want to have a reflection that when

743
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: you step on a football field from our practice, preparation

744
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: and all the things that lead to the game that

745
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: you're invested in at your bought in, those are the

746
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: guys that you want to keep around. Be a pro.

747
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: You need pros, right you're on. I mean, you gotta

748
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: have some pros. And it feels like we had some.

749
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: I was I thought that was it was Yeah, me too, man.

750
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: We've seen some that haven't been around here in the

751
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: last twenty years or so. It's good to see one

752
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: that did um and still understand what's to play for.

753
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: I want to get your field eye view of what

754
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: you've seen, what you've seen from a progression from Deshaun Watson. Uh,

755
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: what are a couple of areas that you think he's

756
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: improved the most upon from a couple of weeks ago

757
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: in Houston, and where do you think it still needs

758
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: to go? The when you used where blatantly obvious. It

759
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: sounds negative, but it is blatantly obvious, but not in

760
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: the negative sense, but in a positive sense. That he's

761
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: more comfortable. I mean, he's just you sense it with

762
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: his body language. I mean week one, he was like,

763
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: all right, guys, help me here. Um, it's been a while,

764
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: seven hundred days, two now, and you want this out

765
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback now that you want to yell at guys,

766
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: But when guys aren't doing their job, what the blank

767
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: are you doing? Why don't you do this? That type

768
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: of command, and there's nothing wrong with that when guys

769
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: are doing the wrong things that you let them know,

770
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: directing guys where to line up, where to go, and

771
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: just having a presence about you that this is your

772
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: football team and you're in command, and they should fall

773
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: your lead because you're confident and you know what the

774
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: heck you're doing. So I saw that jump, I thought

775
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: I jumped last week against the Bengals, and I felt

776
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: that he was even more omnipresent this week against the Ravens.

777
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: And here's a crazy thing. Boat. This was his third

778
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: preseason game going and gets one of the best defenses

779
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: in the National Football League second to only the forty

780
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: niners in my opinion. No, it's it was um, you know,

781
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: it's even I just it was good to see him.

782
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: I felt like this was the first one where he

783
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: was kind of himself just in to in terms of

784
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: like loving the game. Um when he when he when

785
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: he took off up the middle and there in the

786
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: cover zero and they send the blitz and he just

787
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: he picks up thirty yards and gets the first down

788
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: and gets up and celebrate. You like, that's the Deshaun

789
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: Watson I remember in Houston. That type of joy again, Gerard,

790
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: it feels like he's fine. He found his joy again

791
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Sorry, because it's like, man, yeah, because that

792
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: week one, man, can I even play football still? I

793
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: mean throwing stuff in the ground and all that. But

794
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: go back to that other bootleg play. Recall this one

795
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: where he I believe he threw at the coupe where

796
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: he ran literally to the other side of the football

797
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: field and through a beautiful, accurate, if you will, pass

798
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: to his receiver for a huge game. And you know

799
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: how hard a pass that is to complete. And on

800
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: top of that and the weather conditions that we found

801
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: ourselves in and going into this season. Here's another thing

802
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see. What was it, Knock? What was

803
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: a concern? Canny candle? Cold weather? He looked fine to me. Now,

804
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: granted this week will be extreme cold weather, but for

805
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: what he did last week will probably be the norm

806
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: this time of the year as opposed to what we're

807
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: about to experience. I thought he did a phenomenal job. Yeah,

808
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: that's the um. You know, he just doesn't have a

809
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: lot of experience in it, right And in terms of

810
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: what you could see this, I mean you're talking about

811
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 1: wind guts could be upwards sixty miles an hour on Saturday,

812
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: So there is no might just breaking all this news

813
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, man, what's what three Monday? He's coming

814
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: in living his best life. And he's like, well, now

815
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't gives I'm out, I'm out on Sat. Negative

816
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: eight and sixty mile winds. How's this game even being played?

817
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: A great question? Well, give, he's not sure it will be.

818
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's gonna like. I don't know

819
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: what Logistically, Maybe we're spending the night at First Energy

820
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: before this will be one week with Nathan and Jim

821
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: to not coming to me on the sideline I will

822
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: not lament. It'll be uh so, yeah, that that one will.

823
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 1: That's a wild if that weather holds and we're along

824
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: with that weather holds, and that's just trying to survive,

825
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: is all that one isn't trying to stack wins um.

826
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this because you know

827
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: we're we kind of we brushed through it a little

828
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: bit and we'll talk about, you know, a glimmer of

829
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: hope in the postseason or whatever. But as long as

830
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: it's not zero, it helps, right. It's it's you're saying,

831
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: there's a chance, and there's a lot of things that

832
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: need to happen, but as long as you have still

833
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: in the hunt, that helps done to you, it certainly

834
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: does help. I mean, you don't everyone to take the

835
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: perspective you always want to play for something. Your mentality

836
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: has to be that you never and when you are

837
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: math maclei eliminated, it is a defeated, defeated feeling. It

838
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: really is, because you feel like the season was a

839
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: loss and it's like what are we doing? And then

840
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: those things that come into your mind that you try

841
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: to avoid and not talk about start rearing its ugly

842
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: head and becoming more pronounced in your mind. So yes,

843
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: when you even have a point zero zero, zero one

844
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: percent chance, that's still better than zero. Yeah, it is.

845
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: What do you uh when when you think about New

846
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: Orleans coming in here? Um, I mean, honestly, these next

847
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: three are all very very winter or Washington and oh god,

848
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: you imagine. I've played in New Orleans and I can

849
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: tell you that when we went to play against the

850
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: Giants in like October November and it was forty I

851
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna die. So imagine know what is

852
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: about to hit them? And I know there's some guys

853
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: who are from that squad who played in cold weather

854
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: and so so I mean it is you can survive

855
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: for four or five games, but it's that type of

856
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: cold it will mess you up and will it will

857
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: be really and they really they have. I mean granted

858
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: they can still win the division, I guess with how

859
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: crazy it is. And obviously Jarvis will be coming back

860
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: to town. So it's gonna be interested in to see

861
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: how that unfolds and what type of reception he'll get

862
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: as I think about that, but it's in your blood

863
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: now at this point, and it's a harsh thing to

864
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: deal with. It's almost like you want hazard pay on

865
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: top of what you're already getting when you come from

866
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: these conditions from like a Miami or Louisiana to all

867
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden going to a place like where what

868
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: we have here? And from a weather standpoint, Now, my man,

869
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: you played for DITKA in New Orleans, I mean, you know, Chicago, Like,

870
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: what's his pep? Talk to you Saturday with this, with

871
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: what you're dealing with. The bear is a lover of

872
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: everyone on the planet except for one, except for one.

873
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 1: Let's go in another way, then what is your yeah

874
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: for you? It was gonna be definitely blatantly negative? What

875
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: is what is the most what what's the worst conditions?

876
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: You played in in New England? And all of the

877
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: games is it can? Is there one that jumps out

878
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: that was brutal? The coldest game that I ever played

879
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: in was a NFC divisional game, or it could have

880
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: been a championship game against the Titans. I'm not quite sure,

881
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: and I believe it was like negative eight, but it

882
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: felt like negative twenty. And when you know how you

883
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: have that area where they have the heated seats and

884
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: the I call the jet engine warming up the sideline.

885
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, as soon as you stepped out of that radius,

886
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: you felt a chill literally come over your body where

887
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: you went frozen, frozen, You were frozen and your feet

888
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: hurt like And that's the hardest thing, especially for dbs,

889
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: because you can't really put a lots of socks or

890
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: any type of warmers inside your shoes because you want

891
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: to be a tight fit, and then you're essentially running

892
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: on it feels like pavement because everything is frozen. So

893
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: that was probably the worst because be honest with you,

894
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: bo I, like when it's snowing, that's actually is warmer actually,

895
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: and it's not as bad. It's the wet rain. So

896
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: the worst conditions you can have is when it's a

897
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: still night, no cloud covering, and it's just flat out

898
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: freezing like that was that night with the Titans Gang,

899
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: or if you have a situation where it's windy and

900
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: it's raining. You hate those conditions because you're just that

901
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: just the cold just seeps into you. Why why don't

902
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: more I see this all the time, even from our guys.

903
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious what they'll do. Why does it? Why do

904
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: most Why don't more guys were sleeves and long sleeps?

905
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: Is she a lot of bare arms, even in these

906
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: cold cold sending a message does it do anything? Does

907
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: it work? I'd rather just have the layer man. Obviously,

908
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: I was at the point of the mindset of I

909
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: know I'm tough. I don't need you to tell me

910
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: if I'm telling you, So that's how I would be.

911
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: So my team mus be like before the game, we

912
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: all want to go out there sleeveless. I was like,

913
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: the hell of that sleepless? And I know I'm actually

914
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: tougher than you, so so I wasn't about that. I'm like,

915
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay as warm as I possibly could,

916
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: especially at this time, I'm just doing primary special teams

917
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 1: where I gotta just stand on the sideline w retire

918
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: you the game. It's different when your starter and you're

919
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: playing a lot because you're your your blood is fluid

920
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: more so I get that, but really, to be honest

921
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: with you, that's more of a statement that the code

922
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: is not going to beat me down. Now here's what

923
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: I want to see. To his credit, David and Joe

924
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: Kup has done nothing but be shirtless before every game,

925
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 1: every game. If he pulls this caper off this week,

926
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: even more power to him. That's what I said earlier.

927
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: That was my challenge. You walk around shirtless. That's fine

928
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: when it's bomby. When it's a Bomby degrees. Let me

929
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: see at this setur come on, Chief. Some of the

930
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: Buckeye guys talking about wearing like we'll do like a layer,

931
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: a thick layer like vasoline. Oh yeah, that's a part

932
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: of the trick of the trade that it helps block.

933
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: It just blocks. I mean basically, you want to do

934
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: anything that can block that won't be absorbed quickly by

935
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: your skin, and vass lean is the perfect deal and

936
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: it will block the pain receptors crazy. Well, you have

937
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: that to look forward to. Hey, buddy, I wanted to

968
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: kind of living high off that big wind from Saturday. Yeah,

969
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: I was, you know, buddy, what was cool about it?

970
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: I led the show with this, and I wanted to

971
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: get your view on it too, because I kind of

972
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 1: looked at that game as almost, look, this this season

973
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: has not gone the way any of us wanted. I

974
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: think we can all acknowledge that, but it was almost

975
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: like a a present in the holiday season to the

976
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: fan base, to the players themselves, to the front office,

977
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: to the coaches, to everybody involved. It was a snow

978
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: globe night. It was a magical night. You know how

979
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: great those are when the snow starts to flicker under

980
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: the lights at First Energy Stadium. And then to just

981
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: get a win against the hated Ravens. Are there things

982
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: that need to be sorted out, for sure, um, but

983
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: it was just a fun Saturday night at the old

984
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: ball Yard for me, buddy, and I know you were

985
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: down there and it to me, it was just much

986
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: needed and it couldn't have come at a better time,

987
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah. Fun, I think it's the operable word.

988
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: Playing on a Saturday just kind of feels a little

989
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: bit more special, you know. I think when you play

990
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: in one of those games where you're the only game

991
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: on at that time slot, whether it be Thursday or

992
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: Monday night or Sunday night, it's just a little bit

993
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: more special. And I think being that they don't play

994
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: a lot of Saturday games during the season, it was cool,

995
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: and so there was kind of a fun atmosphere, a

996
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a carnival atmosphere just being around the

997
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: stadium that day, uh, playing against the Ravens, obviously Deshaun

998
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: Watson's first game in front of the home fans um

999
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: and the setting was great, Like there was some snow

1000
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: flakes flying. Like you mentioned, it was cold, but it

1001
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: wasn't freezing where it just took the wind out of

1002
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: your lungs. The field looked incredible. It was just good

1003
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: old fashioned football. I think there was a lot of

1004
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: nostalgia that really kind of seeped through my body just

1005
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: watching it be kind of a slugfest kind of cold

1006
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: weather a f C North Ravens Browns, and then for

1007
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: us to be able to pull it out where it

1008
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: was a little dramatic, but it wasn't giving you a

1009
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: heart attack at the end. It just felt like it

1010
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: was the right ending to a fun day. Yeah, it was.

1011
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: And and another thing that I thought was really cool was, um,

1012
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: you know you always measure this time of year. I do,

1013
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: at least I always want to know, like, what's the

1014
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: give a damn level of the team, right, how much

1015
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: are you invested in trying to win on a given

1016
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: Saturday night, because look, this is these are the dog

1017
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: days of an NFL season when you're a limiting Now

1018
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: this team isn't there's still a glimmer of hope in

1019
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: the postseason. It's stuff, but it's there. Um, but I

1020
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: saw tremendous give a damn I tried. I saw guys celebrating.

1021
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: I saw Miles in perry On. I saw Denzel have

1022
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 1: the game that he had. We saw Deshaun Watson stand

1023
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: up after a thirty yard game and point like he

1024
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: did in Houston a couple of years ago. It feels

1025
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: like we'll have more on him in a second. I

1026
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: want to ask you about But it just felt like

1027
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: everybody on the team knew how important the game was

1028
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: and that there give a damn on a scale of

1029
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: one to ten, was in an eleven, which for me

1030
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: mattered a lot. Am I over reading that? Or is

1031
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: that something that that you now that you're you're done

1032
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: with your playing career, do you look at games this

1033
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: time a year and just say, who's emotionally invested? Yeah?

1034
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: I agree? It felt like there was joy. You know

1035
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: that that was the word for fans when we were

1036
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: walking out of there that I think that was the

1037
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: word watching the players on the field, And I don't

1038
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: know if that's because they're listening to Miles sell the

1039
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: playoff hope or they understand how finishing this season strong

1040
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: and finding out what this team can be with the

1041
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson one of the things that he does well,

1042
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: who is he gonna mesh with, Who's gonna build those

1043
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: bonds in those big moments and how does that carry

1044
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,959
Speaker 1: over the next season? Like we all understand, as Brown stands,

1045
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: how important these last games are, and it seems like

1046
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: the players are feeling that as well, And um, that's

1047
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: a great feeling. And I think that's a big time

1048
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: reflection of Kevin Stefanski and the coaches because it can

1049
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: be a little bit tough selling hope at the end

1050
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: of the season when you got like less than a

1051
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: one percent chance to make the playoffs. But Stefanski certainly

1052
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: had these guys ready to play. They were out there

1053
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: and it wasn't just a bunch of robots running around

1054
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: trying to mail it in. I mean, they definitely it

1055
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: was meaningful to them to play well and to get

1056
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: this victory and hopefully you see that same team next Saturday. Yeah,

1057
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: stack him a little bit here, be fun to fin

1058
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: I think it matters Joe does it to go five

1059
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: and one of Watson to be nine and eight overall,

1060
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: another winning record? Is that something that are you talking

1061
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: about that if you're a veteran in the room those

1062
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: type of things. I don't know if you talk about, hey,

1063
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: let's win the last three or something like that, because

1064
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: you never really want to look too far down the road.

1065
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: But I think you definitely are are sharing that message

1066
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: of hey, we want to finish strong because this is

1067
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: our team for next year. You know there's gonna be

1068
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: a few changes, of course, but for the most part,

1069
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 1: like now that you've got Deshaun Watson back, the core

1070
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: group of your stars are all gonna be here next year,

1071
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: and you want to have that hope that builds through

1072
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: the end of the season, and then it continues to

1073
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: progress during the off season, because the more hope you have,

1074
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: the more guys are going to buy into what the

1075
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: coaches are selling in the off season. The easier it

1076
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: is for those veteran leaders to be able to motivate

1077
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 1: those guys to show up to give their best effort

1078
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 1: to prepare themselves for what could be a championship run

1079
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: next season. Yeah, certainly, so Let's let's have the Deshaun

1080
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: Watson conversation. Now. Um, first time out, pretty rough, you know,

1081
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: one hopping some balls that he normally hits. Um, it

1082
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 1: felt like he was, um well, he just struggled, body language,

1083
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: struggled all of it. Then got better in Cincinnati. You

1084
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: saw some throws here and there. You okay, it's coming. Um,

1085
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: this one wasn't wow you, I mean, this wasn't two

1086
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: two eighty four and four scores. Wasn't that at all.

1087
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: But what I saw, at least and from an amateur perspective,

1088
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: was someone who looked pretty damn comfortable and and looked

1089
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: like he found his joy. We've used that word a

1090
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: lot today. Looks like he found his joy playing the position. Again.

1091
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: What have you seen for him over these three games?

1092
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: And and maybe the biggest positive progression. You know, if

1093
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: you look at his stats from the last three weeks,

1094
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: you know it might look like it's a little up

1095
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: and down. Obviously everyone agreed. First game, throwing in the

1096
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 1: crapper that was no good. Uh. He was throwing balls

1097
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 1: in the dirt. He was missing guys that were open.

1098
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: He was laid on his reads. And that's to be expected.

1099
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 1: Seven hundred days without playing in an NFL game, your

1100
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: mind is just gonna process things slow, like that's just

1101
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: what happens. Being a quarterback in the NFL is more

1102
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: about decision making than any other aspect of playing quarterback,

1103
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: and it's how quickly you can make those decisions and

1104
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: get the ball out of the guys that are supposed

1105
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,399
Speaker 1: to the football. And he was really bad in week one,

1106
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: with that Week two much better. You saw some glimmers

1107
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: of hope. But in this game, I think confidence is

1108
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: that great word. I think you may have used that too,

1109
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: Like it looked like he looked comfortable. He was much

1110
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: more comfortable running the offense. He was more comfortable throwing

1111
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: the ball when he needed to throw it. I'll remember

1112
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: one play that really stuck out to me. I think

1113
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: it was a Mari. Cooper was running like sort of

1114
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: a deep out route um and he just laid it

1115
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: over the top of the defender perfectly where only a

1116
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: Mari he could get it. And he had to get

1117
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: it in there with time so that it was in

1118
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: there the receiver could make the catch before getting out

1119
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: of bounds. I mean, it was just one of those

1120
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: throws that you say, yep, that's a Tier one quarterback.

1121
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: That's the throw of a guy that can win you

1122
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. That's why you bring him here. And

1123
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: it definitely seemed, just from watching him, not talking with

1124
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: him or anything, that there was probably some nervousness from

1125
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: the Shawn's part about Hey, how am I going to

1126
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: be received at home? He knew he was gonna get

1127
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: some booze on the road, especially that first game in Houston,

1128
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: but he always I'm sure he was wondering, Hey, how

1129
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: are they gonna receive me here? Because the season hasn't

1130
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: gone as expected? You know, how much of that are

1131
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: they gonna put on me? And coming here and and

1132
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: the suspension and I think when he went out there

1133
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: and started playing well and he was starting to feel

1134
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: the home crowd behind him. Uh, that definitely seemed to

1135
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: boost some of that confidence and he was making the

1136
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: right decisions in that game. Now he only had twenty

1137
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: eight passes. Um, I thought he looked really sharp. I

1138
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: thought he made some nice plays with his legs that

1139
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: scare a defense. And a lot of times when you

1140
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: got a quarterback like the Sean that can beat you

1141
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: with his legs, not only just running the football, but

1142
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: evading sacks, getting out of the pocket, and then delivering

1143
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: the football, there's a lot of things that they do

1144
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: that put pressure on a defense that don't still don't

1145
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: show up on a stat sheet, because now defense has

1146
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: to play you differently. They got to be more careful

1147
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: rushing the passer. They got to be a little bit

1148
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: more careful in their coverage. They can't take as many

1149
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: chances earlier on after the football is snap because they're

1150
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: worried about, Hey, if I jumped this route, there's a

1151
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: good chance that de Sean just holds onto the ball

1152
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: and now I'm toasted because now my guy is running

1153
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: fifth yards down the field and he can hit him

1154
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: from wherever, because he's got that canon for an arm.

1155
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: So I think from a what does the quarterback bring

1156
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: to you at that position? He was his best out

1157
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: of the three games on Saturday, as he was all

1158
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: season here. So you're making steady progress and I think

1159
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: that's exactly what you've wanted to see from the quarterback

1160
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: at this moment, at this moment in the season half.

1161
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: When you were in with us last Monday, we talked

1162
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: about and you brought the point up of Hey, this

1163
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: is different when you're in the offensive line. When he

1164
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: breaks pocket, you gotta let go. So you're having to

1165
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: learn kind of a new skill on that offensive line. Um,

1166
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: was this the best this line has looked since DeShawn

1167
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: has been back? Or I guess since he's been here? Yeah? Yeah, No,

1168
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. Uh. It's funny how players

1169
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: feet off of each other, and you know, your quarterbacks

1170
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: playing better, all of a sudden, it makes the offensive

1171
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 1: line look better, and then they play a little bit better,

1172
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: and then it makes your job easier, and all of

1173
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: a sudden you're running the football better. You know, everything

1174
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: just handing glove on a football team as a whole,

1175
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: and that's as obvious on offense as it is on

1176
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: defense or special teams. Uh. And when you see a

1177
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: quarterback like Sean getting comfortable hitting his receivers, extending plays,

1178
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: pulling the ball when he needs to on your zone reads,

1179
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: you see the offensive line starting to understand how they

1180
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: need to block a little bit longer when he's in

1181
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: the pocket. And when all of a sudden you have

1182
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: aids and gets outside the pocket, gotta learn to let go.

1183
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Like we saw that progress from the offensive line sort

1184
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: of getting comfortable with him. And I think that's why

1185
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: I've I've said a number of times like these last

1186
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: now three games of the season, they're crucial, right for

1187
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: everybody to learn how to play with the Seawan It

1188
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: is too and and I mean, this was the best

1189
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: defense that that we're gonna face in this stretch. But

1190
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: this is a top two or three defense in the league.

1191
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Since getting Roquan Smith, they've basically been the best defense

1192
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: in the league. It's kind of them in San Francisco

1193
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: at the very top to be able to run it

1194
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: with some effectiveness. A hundred and forty three yards on

1195
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: the ground, Nick Chubb just a shade under a hundred

1196
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: ninety nine yards at the eighteen yard or for the

1197
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: long but we're able to move the ball on the

1198
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: ground a little bit. I mentioned those big Deshan the

1199
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: big scrambles, including the big seventeen yard or I mean,

1200
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: this has to make you feel like it's it's baby steps, right,

1201
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: but the baby steps are starting to get bigger and bigger. Absolutely,

1202
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: and I think more than anything, like just watching that,

1203
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: this offense is playing mistake free football when you're in

1204
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: close games, like that's what you have to have, that's

1205
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: what wins it. It's it's like the hidden yardage you

1206
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: always talk about special teams is hidden yardage. Tackling hidden

1207
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: yardage whether you get the guy down or breaks it

1208
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: for another four yards. How many times does that happen

1209
01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: in a game? You know, turnovers, big mistakes like you

1210
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: didn't see that on offense, which that may have been

1211
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: the best thing that we saw on Saturday from this offense,

1212
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: right because you've got a quarterback who just hasn't played

1213
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: until three weeks ago and seven hundred days, And how

1214
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: is that going to affect the offense? How was that

1215
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: going to disrupt the timing that everybody's got. How is

1216
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: that going to screw up people's assignments and their roles,

1217
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: and it seems like they're they're clicking right. And when

1218
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: you're playing against the team like the Ravens, they didn't

1219
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: really have the ability to throw the football down the field.

1220
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: They just don't have receivers, right Mark Andrews, he's a

1221
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: great tight end, and that's it. There's no other names

1222
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: on that list that you're really worried about. So from

1223
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: a passing standpoint, you knew it was going to be

1224
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: probably a low scoring game. You were going to be

1225
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: able to kind of commit to your run a little

1226
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: bit more than you would then if you're playing a

1227
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: team like let's say a Buffalo or a Kansas City,

1228
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: where you know they're gonna score and you're gonna have

1229
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to keep up with them, uh, no matter what your

1230
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: defense really does. So it'll be interesting to see how

1231
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: things move on here when we go to New Orleans

1232
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: and Washington, who have a little bit better offense. Is

1233
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: they're not at the top of the NFL, but they

1234
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: can score a little bit more than Baltimore with with

1235
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,479
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley. But I thought it was nice to watch

1236
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: the patients of that offense and they didn't make any

1237
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: mistakes against the Baltimore defense that's pretty good at getting

1238
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers. Yeah it is. And and here's

1239
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: the other thing about this that's that I think is

1240
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: really important here. In the last month or so of

1241
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: the season, Joe Woods defense has turned a corner, hasn't half.

1242
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this was the one of the worst units

1243
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: in the league in the second week of October. I

1244
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: think I think now they're seven teenth. Um, so they

1245
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: were ben but don't break against Baltimore over the weekend,

1246
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: which was fine. Boat up in the red zone. Uh.

1247
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: It helps when the greatest kicker of all time this

1248
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: is a couple of field goals, which he never does,

1249
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: but we'll take them. Um. But it does feel like

1250
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Joe Woods as unit as has turned a corner, haven't they.

1251
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: If you look at the stats all almost you know,

1252
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: we can't which that it's true. However, you're playing to

1253
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: win the game, right, so the defensive game plan is

1254
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: a little bit different, and you're gonna say to yourself, look,

1255
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley is not going to throw the ball over

1256
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: our heads and beat us. He just can't do it.

1257
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: They don't have their receivers, he doesn't have the accuracy

1258
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: with the arm to do it. So you're gonna say

1259
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: almost like we used to say, I don't know, that's

1260
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: how we played high school Footballways say they're gonna run

1261
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: the ball, right, we know that. Just don't give up

1262
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the big play. And when they get to the red zone,

1263
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: force them to kick field goals right, or force them

1264
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: to go ten to twelve to fifteen plays to get

1265
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: down the field. Eventually they're gonna screw up. They're gonna

1266
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: get in a second or third and long and they

1267
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: won't be able to convert. That's the game plan because

1268
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to win. They're not trying to win the statute.

1269
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: They're trying to win the score at the end of

1270
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the game. And so I think that's part of the

1271
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: reason why they gave up so many rushing yards. Now. Also,

1272
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: you remember Baltimore is a pretty good rushing attack. But

1273
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: I think more than anything, the defense is showing really

1274
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: good progress, which shows you a lot of hope here

1275
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: to finish the season. And then I'm sure even Joe

1276
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Woods would tell you, hey, if we finished strong and

1277
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: we continue to make progress, we you know, whatever happened scoreboardwise,

1278
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: but the defense shows up New Orleans Washington, Pittsburgh. At

1279
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: that point, whatever happens happens. You gotta look at the

1280
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: totality of what they've done during the season, which was

1281
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: incredibly disappointing and beyond at the beginning of the season,

1282
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: much better at the end of the season, and then

1283
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: you gotta live with it because that's that's who you

1284
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: are as a defense. But um to see them making progress,

1285
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: to see them doing a lot of the things that

1286
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: they didn't do at the beginning of the year, which

1287
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: specifically in coverage, being able to communicate. Now they played

1288
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: almost exclusively zone coverage because they were worried about Tyler

1289
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Huntley running and you don't want to play man because

1290
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: then you got your secondary guys turning their backs and running.

1291
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: So there was a lot of zone and there's a

1292
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to screw up communication and you didn't

1293
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: see it, And so you gotta feel really good about that. Yeah, absolutely,

1294
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: you do always feel good when it's a Joe Thomas

1295

Speaker 1: time for some game balls to dish out here on

1315
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: a victory Monday. Who gets your offensive game ball? Sir?

1316
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to Nick Chubb. He had a

1317
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: very Nick Chubb esque outing, one that you would expect

1318
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: as the weather gets cold on the shores of Lake Erie.

1319
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Twenty one carries just a shade under a hundred yards

1320
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: over four yards per carry. Uh. He was dominant. He

1321
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: looked great, a lot of outside runs, which is kind

1322
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: of what he's known for. But getting back on track

1323
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: after a real tough outing last week, and I think

1324
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to the weather gets a little bit more

1325
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: nasty here on Saturday against the Saints, so we may

1326
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: get a lot more Nick Chubb here as the season

1327
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: wears on and the weather gets even worse. But it

1328
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: was great to see him get back on track uh

1329
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: and start doing Nick Chubb stuff. Well let's just stay

1330
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: there just for a second half, because just a little

1331
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: bit worse is actually potentially just a lot worse, like

1332
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: like it could be like fourteen minus feel like wind gusts. Uh.

1333
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: The early wind guts are showing like sixty three mile

1334
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,959
Speaker 1: an hour wind on the maximum wind gus sustained wind

1335
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: up to the forties. Um, you grew up in Wisconsin.

1336
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: I grew up out West. I know cold weather when

1337
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: I see it, but I'm I never had to play

1338
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: anything quite like that, luckily enough, How do you how

1339
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: do you what's the best? How would you go about this?

1340
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: You played in some brutal games, obviously from a temperature standpoint,

1341
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: How would you stay warm? How would you handle the elements? Yeah,

1342
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:34,879
Speaker 1: it's brutal, um. I think anytime it gets into the teens,

1343
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: that's when it's not fun anymore. Like the boys, they

1344
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: probably had a lot of fun on Saturday, because you know,

1345
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: it was about thirty which once you're heated up and

1346
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: they've got the heaters and the heated benches on the sidelines,

1347
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: and you're running around, You're you're not getting cold at all.

1348
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: You're you're feeling fine, and it was a little bit windy,

1349
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: but it wasn't too bad. Um. But I played in

1350
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: a few games two thousand and eighteen, right in the

1351
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: middle of December, we played a game against the Bengals.

1352
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: I think Carson Palmer was even still their quarterback at

1353
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: the time, and it was awful. It was miserable. I

1354
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: got real sick for like three or four days after

1355
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: that because you just get cold into your bones. You

1356
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: can't warm up. The field froze, so your your cleats

1357
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: were slipping because even with the heated field, Like when

1358
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: it's around zero and there's a wind chill, it doesn't

1359
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: really matter that there's warm water going through pipes under

1360
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 1: that grass, like that thing is freezing. It's just way

1361
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,720
Speaker 1: too cold. Um So, one thing that I learned as

1362
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: my career went on, I spent a lot of time

1363
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: watching the guys with the orange sleeves that managed the

1364
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: TV timeouts, because a lot of times, you know, there's

1365
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: a turnover or kick off something like that, and you

1366
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: see the young, young, and dumb guys just sprint it

1367
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 1: out on the field to go stand there in the huddle.

1368
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: But about three and a half minutes the commercials they

1369
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: gotta get through, so they're standing out there freezing their

1370
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: cajona is off. Where I'm standing in front of the

1371
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: heat on the sideline watching the guy with the orange gloves.

1372
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: And I can tell you a few times towards the

1373
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: end of my career, as I'm trying to stay warm

1374
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline there in the huddle, and nobody else

1375
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: realizes they got like two minutes before you can even

1376
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: snap the football because they're still in commercial and everyone's going,

1377
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,679
Speaker 1: where's Joe, Where's Joe? Is he hurt? Like what happened?

1378
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Somebody get Joe and I'm over there standing from the

1379
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: heater looking like I'm over a fire in a barrel

1380
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: in the park. So I will say, hopefully those guys

1381
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: learned that lesson, because last Saturday didn't matter. This next

1382
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Saturday it's gonna matter. I'm looking at the weather now

1383
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: that you said something. I knew it was gonna be cold,

1384
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: thirty four mile our wind like average. Oh my god,

1385
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like minus in the teens Wind show.

1386
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: That's just awful because it's really the wind that crushes

1387
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,879
Speaker 1: you because that's what sucks the heat off your your fingers.

1388
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 1: And for guys that got to touch the football, like

1389
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,879
Speaker 1: having heat and warm on your fingers is so important

1390
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: for being able to move those fingers. Otherwise they just

1391
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: kind of slow down. They get frozen. Can you imagine

1392
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: being the I mean good luck in New Orleans simulating that,

1393
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: huh right there, They're gonna turn to E c On

1394
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: in their practice facility. It would be down to, alright,

1395
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 1: more game balls, let's do defense. Who gets your game ball?

1396
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: On defense? Sir? Gotta be a mile Scarrett. I mean,

1397
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 1: that's an easy one. He was dominant once again, Uh,

1398
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: he's just had a tremendous year, and I know that

1399
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: because the defense hasn't played well and team wise not

1400
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,440
Speaker 1: really in the mix, although still a chance for the playoffs,

1401
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: he's not getting maybe the recognition he should get for

1402
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year. But hopefully now that he

1403
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: had a sack and a half in the game on

1404
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Saturday and a TfL, his numbers are gonna be good

1405
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: enough where people are going to give him, uh, at

1406
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: least some consideration for defensive player here, because if you

1407
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: look at any of the advanced metrics like the PF

1408
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: grades or pass rush win rate, which basically means how

1409
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: many times did you beat the dude across from you? Now,

1410
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 1: in order to beat the guy across from you and

1411
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: get a sack, there's other things that are out of

1412
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: your control that have to happen, namely, all right, what

1413
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: was the a did the quarterback hold onto the football?

1414
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: How was the coverage? Like? Those things matter if you

1415
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 1: win and get the sack versus just winning. So most

1416
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: people when they're evaluating, hey, who's the best player in

1417
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 1: the NFL? Or how valuable is this defensive player? Most

1418
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: people look at, all, right, how many times did he

1419
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: beat the block? And Miles is beating his block more

1420
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: than anybody in the NFL hands down. Um, So hopefully

1421
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,640
Speaker 1: he can kind of continue picking up a sack and

1422
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: a half or so every game and then he gets

1423
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get that Defensive Player of the Year honor,

1424
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: because I know it's important to him, right Like he's

1425
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: He's talked about it a little bit, but maybe he's

1426
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 1: a humble not not a real loud guy. He's unselfish,

1427
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: so he doesn't talk about it a lot. But I

1428
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,839
Speaker 1: think he just deserves it so much. He's been so dominant,

1429
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: and I think for Brown's fans that would be maybe

1430
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 1: a little consolation prize on a tough year if Miles

1431
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: was able to win the Defensive Player of the Year. Well,

1432
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: the other thing is you know about this is when

1433
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 1: it comes time. I mean, he's twenty seven, so a

1434
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: lot of career left. Obviously right in the prime of it.

1435
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: But when you look back and you think about like

1436
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,799
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame candidacy and those type of things, Miles

1437
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: is on the trajectory to be a Hall of Fame

1438
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: type player. That's the type of start to career that

1439
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: he has. But the first thing that you look for

1440
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: if you're one of those voters, is All Pros Defensive

1441
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Players of the Year. I mean, those are the measuring sticks, right,

1442
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: you have to have those things. And if you have

1443
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: a defensive player of the year, sometimes if you don't

1444
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,959
Speaker 1: have the All Pros that match that, it can override

1445
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: it a little bit. So, yeah, he would. I think

1446
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:29,640
Speaker 1: you're right. It does feel like a sack and a

1447
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: half the last three games that would get him to

1448
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: what fifteen and I'd get him a sixteen, they get

1449
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: him to eighteen. If you could be around eighteen sacks

1450
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: and we're nine and eight, you got a shot. I

1451
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: think at that level, I really do. I think that's

1452
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: I think that's a play and I think that would

1453
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: be important. I know it would be important to him.

1454
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: Um give a once a wild card game ball? You

1455
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 1: have a wild card game ball? Huff? Yeah? Actually, um,

1456
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: how about Daylyn Baldwin right, like, well, we had a

1457
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: couple of catches. We haven't seen a whole lot from

1458
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 1: him this season, but they were big catches in this game.

1459
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: Was it the end of the second quarter, They're going

1460
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: on an eleven play drive down the field to get

1461
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: a field goal to get up six to three, which

1462
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: turned out to be a really pivotal moment. And when

1463
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: you're playing these kind of grudge matches, he's back and

1464
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 1: forth field goal type games. Those field goals are huge,

1465
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: and the team that has the lead, it's it's so

1466
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: important because now you can do what the Browns did

1467
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: in the second half. You can just chew up clock,

1468
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 1: you can throw drinking dunk passes down the field, you

1469
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: can continue to hand the football off because playing with

1470
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: the lead is just crucial in those games. And so

1471
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,640
Speaker 1: I think he came up big for Deshaun Watson on

1472
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: two plays on that drive, and it was one of

1473
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: those where you know, he makes the catch and you're going,

1474
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,719
Speaker 1: who's that. Oh, yeah, that's right. He was our rookie

1475
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: this year, and you're going, Okay, you can start to

1476
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: see like and talk yourself as a fan into like, hey, baby,

1477
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is gonna have a connection with one of

1478
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: these guys that maybe Jacoby Brisette didn't for whatever reason. Yeah, no,

1479
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: that's I like that. Well, that's a good one. And

1480
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: and because of our win, we did our neighbors down

1481
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: seventy one south of favor, the Bengals are now in

1482
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: first place that Ravens dropped to second. At nine and five,

1483
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati plays Buffalo and Baltimore to close. They get, they

1484
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: get trying to blank they black blanket on who they

1485
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 1: have this week, but I know that it's the oh

1486
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: New England. They got New England this week there at

1487
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:22,600
Speaker 1: New England and then they host Bills and Ravens, so

1488
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: they could theoretically play for the a f C one

1489
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: seed in two weeks and they could play for the

1490
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 1: a f C North in the following week. Um Gibby

1491
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: asked this question. I think it's a fair one of

1492
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals the second best team in the a f C.

1493
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: I might say, are they the second best team in

1494
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 1: the NFL right now? Well, a f C to me

1495
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 1: is the best conference. I know that people in the

1496
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: NFC East, with the Eagles and the Cowboys, they're gonna

1497
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 1: tell you about how great they are, but there's just

1498
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 1: not as much competition, right That's why their records are

1499
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 1: the way they are. They're just not playing the teams

1500
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: that you are like when you're in the a f C. So, UM,

1501
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals ability to kind of win and

1502
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 1: theferent ways to me, The undertold story of last year's

1503
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl run was how good that defense is. You know,

1504
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 1: they don't have the names, so people don't talk about

1505
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: them all that much. But the reason they went on

1506
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: that super Bowl run, outside of Joe Burrow being spectacular,

1507
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: was because the defense just matches up really well against anybody. Right.

1508
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 1: They're a team that, Hey, you want to run the ball, Okay,

1509
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 1: we can stop to run. You want to try to

1510
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: throw the ball on the field, Hey we got guys

1511
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: that can cover. You know, it doesn't matter what you

1512
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: want to do and how you want to attack them.

1513
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: They can handle it and handle it in spades um

1514
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: and so I think that makes them really dangerous. Obviously

1515
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, that makes some dangerous down the run,

1516
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:40,879
Speaker 1: and for them, I think it's really good in December

1517
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: football if you're one of these teams that's at the

1518
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: top and you have to find some adversity because everybody

1519
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of comes out flat and maybe doesn't start the

1520
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 1: way they want at some point, like nobody wins the

1521
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: super Bowl and just blows everybody out. But I think

1522
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 1: it's important and I think it builds uh some camaraderie.

1523
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,679
Speaker 1: I think it does a great job sort of toughening

1524
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: your mindset and your focus and your resolve and your

1525
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 1: belief in yourself when you get behind in a game

1526
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: and you're maybe not playing very well and then you

1527
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 1: have to turn it around and come back and win. Uh.

1528
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: Kind of like the Bengals did against the Buccaneers last week.

1529
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: I mean they were to me, I was flipping channels

1530
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: and uh, I saw the Bengals are getting smoked. Me

1531
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: and my son Jack were watching. I'm like, oh, that's

1532
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: not even a game. Tom Brady he's back, like he

1533
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: thought he was dead. Like what bozos for thinking that

1534
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was dead. You know that Neil has never

1535
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: gone in that coffin and all of a sudden, out

1536
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: of nowhere, the game is close and then it turns

1537
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: out to be a blow out at the end, and

1538
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had something similar. So I would say to me,

1539
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: I like the Chiefs the best in the NFL, and

1540
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: then honestly, I like the Bengals next, and then I'd

1541
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: put the Bills behind him. I think that I love

1542
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's amazing. It's it scares me though, with

1543
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 1: how much they put on his plate. And now it

1544
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: hasn't heard him yet, but like, the dude is taken

1545
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: some unbelievable hits. I don't care how big he is, Like,

1546
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: how long can your team put so much on that

1547
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: guy and allow him to take so many big hits

1548
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: before something happens, whether it's just a small injury where

1549
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: he's not able to run the same way or he

1550
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: gets hit and he just can't play. And I think

1551
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: that's a real risk that the Bills are running. But

1552
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's paying off there. They're winning a lot

1553
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: of games. Still, ask Cam Newton, right, Cam was the

1554
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 1: same way. I mean all that we Cam ran it

1555
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: even more, but like everyone was, oh, Cam so big,

1556
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: he can take out? Now you can't. There's so many

1557
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 1: he can't. He can't keep doing that. So um yeah,

1558
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: you can't feel that he takes he gets Haymaker man

1559
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 1: a lot, Alan does um all right? Coming up next?

1560
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: Well around the league, I think it was I mean,

1561
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: you watch your hyperbole on a on a reaction Monday.

1562
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 1: I think it was as stupefying a loss as I've

1563
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,759
Speaker 1: ever seen. And I understand that we saw the Jets

1564
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: uh down thirteen beat us here, but this one was

1565
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: worse or equally. We will get into that. Coming up next,

1566
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: we go around the league and listen to Cleveland Browns Daily,

Speaker 1: As we continue with the Joe Thomas hour of Cleveland

1580
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Browns Daily, as we go around the league, So I

1581
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: teased the most stupefying result I've ever seen or into

1582
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: a game. Not honestly, you can apply this about four

1583
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: of these games. I think we all know I'm talking

1584
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: about the Patriots. But the Colts blew a thirty three

1585
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: nothing lead to the Vikings on Saturday, the end of

1586
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots game off. Have you ever at any level

1587
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: seen anything like that? No, I haven't, And I remember

1588
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: watching that live when it was going on, and I

1589
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: had to like get closer to the TV because I

1590
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: couldn't even believe what was going on. And I thought

1591
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: it was tied, which it was because I was watching

1592
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the red zone and they were kind of going back

1593
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: and forth and the Raiders had scored a touchdown and

1594
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: then they got the two point in version of tie it,

1595
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: and so in my head, I'm like overtime, right, Well,

1596
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they come back because I'm watching

1597
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: the Stanford band play from the Patriots, which only happens

1598
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: when you're losing a new half to score. And so

1599
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: for a moment there, I thought maybe either I've misremembered,

1600
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: and I was not drinking any beer at the time,

1601
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,600
Speaker 1: so I'm like, okay, obviously didn't have too many cocktails

1602
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 1: because I'm not drinking, so I missed something. And then

1603
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: I walked really close to the TV and I saw

1604
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: that was tied, and I go, what in the world

1605
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: is going on? And you know, there's no way that

1606
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 1: any of the coaches called for that, and so I

1607
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out, like, how did this possibly

1608
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 1: happen because they're running a draw at that moment just

1609
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: to basically run the clock out, which in hindsight they

1610
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,679
Speaker 1: probably you didn't need on it. But I can't imagine

1611
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: that that's ever happened before, where you run a draw

1612
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have and nothing happens besides the game

1613
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,720
Speaker 1: is over. So now I'm sure that most teams are

1614
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: gonna just kneel it out in that moment instead of

1615
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,880
Speaker 1: run a draw. But either way, they run the draw.

1616
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 1: And I think what happened is Remandre Stevenson. He breaks

1617
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: out into the open, he gets to Raiders thirty, and

1618
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 1: then he throws this kind of sent my hook pass

1619
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: over his head to Jacoby Myers, and I think because

1620
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots practice situational football as much as anybody else

1621
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean, I played for two different

1622
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: Patriots disciples with Romeo Cornell and Eric Mangini, and we

1623
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: practiced those situations a lot. Those end of game situations

1624
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: or something you hit at least once or twice a week.

1625
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: So we did the Stanford band play. We did Okay,

1626
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 1: you need a touchdown from the twenty, You need a

1627
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: field goal from the twenty? All right? You need to

1628
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: touch on from the third? Do you need a field goal?

1629
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: Like we did all those things, We did the jump

1630
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 1: all like. And I think what happened was as soon

1631
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: as Jacoby Meyer saw his running back latering to him,

1632
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: he sort of went onto autopilot, but the wrong autopilot.

1633
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: It's kind of like if you're driving your buddy home

1634
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 1: and he lives close to you, you guys start chatting,

1635
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: you start driving down the road like you're going to

1636
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: your house. You go on autopilot because you're not thinking

1637
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: about that, and all of a sudden, pretty soon before

1638
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 1: you know what, you're driving to your house instead of

1639
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 1: his house. That's exactly what happened with Jakobe Meyers. He

1640
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: was driving to the Stanford Band playhouse when it should

1641
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: have been to get down play. The game is going

1642
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: into overtime, and so while he's getting a lot of heat,

1643
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: understandably so, because he made the most epic collapse of

1644
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 1: all time decision and throwing it right to Chandler Jones

1645
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: from the Raiders, who turned around and steam roll stiff

1646
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: armed Mac Jones on the way though, Like I mean,

1647
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: I felt so bad. I mean, the guy's got no chance.

1648
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 1: I mean, he gave great effort, like he he lined

1649
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: them up like it was the Tennessee drill, like he

1650
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:05,440
Speaker 1: was safety back in high school and just got absolutely

1651
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: era from the field. Um. But in that moment, I

1652
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: could see that look on Jacobe Myers face like he

1653
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 1: was running the wrong play. I think he knew the situation,

1654
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,480
Speaker 1: but that first lateral just turned his mind into autopilot

1655
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: and he was in the wrong lane. I think you're right.

1656
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 1: I think yeah, as soon as Ramandre breaks off the run,

1657
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: you're like, oh hell, maybe we can win this thing.

1658
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: And it flips and your situational awareness is gone, and

1659
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're back in the schoolyard and

1660
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: you're just trying to make plays. I mean, it's absolutely

1661
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: that one was absolutely crazy. We do have some some

1662
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: some certainty though, starting to come into shape with these

1663
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: playoff pictures with three weeks to go, Um, who do

1664
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: you like in terms of we we talked the a

1665
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: f C playoff picture. Obviously, the Eagles are at the

1666
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: top of the NFC. The Vikings take all of it

1667
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: to come back, um and and beat Indie. But right now,

1668
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,799
Speaker 1: there the two. The bottom of the NFC is pretty

1669
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: to me, feels pretty weak. If the Lions, if they

1670
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 1: could get in Joe, are they scary. I think they're

1671
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: scary because they're building a lot of momentum right towards

1672
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,759
Speaker 1: the end of the season. They started out just so terrible.

1673
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: But I think you know, they got a coach that

1674
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: makes them believe in themselves. And when you have that,

1675
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what have they won like six out of

1676
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 1: their last seven and they're gonna have Yeah, they're gonna

1677
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: have to win a few here down the stretch, which

1678
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: they've got an easy schedule. They got Carolina, Chicago and

1679
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Uh, not great teams, so there's a chance

1680
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: they win out right, And you get hot like that

1681
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: and you believe in yourself. Obviously, you've got a fiery

1682
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: coach who the players enjoy playing for because he lets

1683
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: his emotions out there. He's a former player, like I think,

1684
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 1: getting hot at the end of the season is one

1685
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: of the most dangerous things for other teams when you

1686
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, because you got that belief, you

1687
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: got that hope, and more times than not, in the

1688
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: last twenty years, you see the teams that win the

1689
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Are the teams that get hot in December.

1690
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter about seeding one seed to seed.

1691
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times are we seeing the one

1692
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,759
Speaker 1: and two and three seeds get knocked out early because

1693
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,560
Speaker 1: they they're a really good team, but they kind of

1694
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: hit cruise control and they ease into the playoffs, whether

1695
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 1: they rest guys at the end or they get that

1696
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: first round by and they think they're ready to play.

1697
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: But the difference between winning and losing in the NFL

1698
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: is very small, especially in the playoffs, Like it doesn't

1699
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: take much, and so you take your foot off that

1700
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 1: accelerator for just half a second and that changes everything.

1701
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: And so I would not want to play the lines

1702
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: if they make the playoffs and they continue that hot

1703
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 1: streak going on the way in there, we'll get you

1704
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: out of here on this one. What do you think

1705
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: in Christmas meal? What are we doing? What's the play? Yeah,

1706
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 1: so I think I'm gonna do a beef tender line

1707
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 1: from our steer. We we had a steer slaughtered this summer,

1708
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 1: just a number. We didn't have a name on that one.

1709
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: The next one, the next one's named Jack. So I

1710
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't have the heart to tell I

1711
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: don't have the heart to tell Jack, but he's he's

1712
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: on deck. His days are numbered. Uh, but we're gonna

1713
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: do a little beef tenderline. Mama is gonna do like

1714
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 1: a squash. That is always a good play. And then

1715
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: we do look a fetuccini or a carbonara pasta, and

1716
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 1: then some brussels sprout, some roasted brussels, So that's that's

1717
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: kind of our go too. And then we always do

1718
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Christmas ham because my son likes Christmas ham, so we

1719
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: always throw that out there. Well, buddy, a merry Christmas
