Speaker 1: From the game. I'm sure we'll have some stuff tomorrow.
Speaker 2: But the only one that checked out from the game,
Speaker 2: Feliciano had a concussion never returned.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Well, did you talk to Rock about that
Speaker 3: one incompletion that he threw today?
Speaker 4: And he could do better?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why we punted on that one drive.
Speaker 2: That's I'm just joking.
Speaker 1: He was great.
Speaker 2: He was almost perfect, but I mean that was a
Speaker 2: third and twenty something anyways, but he was great, hung
Speaker 2: in there, made some big throws a lot of times.
Speaker 1: That defense is real. They don't give you the big throws,
Speaker 1: so you kind of got to pick him apart. And
Speaker 1: he was very efficient at doing that.
Speaker 2: And when he had his opportunities for the big ones
Speaker 2: and he saw it right, made the right throws and
Speaker 2: our guys came down with it.
Speaker 3: Christians had a bad game for you, But could you
Speaker 3: tell something was special with it early on that you
Speaker 3: want to hit the.
Speaker 2: Not really, I mean, he's the same to me as
Speaker 2: he always is. I just there was there was space
Speaker 2: out there, and you know, you know, Elijah being down,
Speaker 2: you know, Debo kind of not practicing all week gave
Speaker 2: him probably a few more opportunities didn't have to split
Speaker 2: it as much. And then when they're playing the zone
Speaker 2: and stuff, you never know what's going to go to
Speaker 2: the back. But uh, a lot of those he's last
Speaker 2: in the progression and he's a hell of a checkdown option,
Speaker 2: so worked out very well.
Speaker 3: Did you give him touchdown there at the end?
Speaker 2: I honestly, I had no idea until I just came
Speaker 2: in here that he had four touchdowns. I never know
Speaker 2: that type of stuff. I was actually shocked, and now
Speaker 2: I feel kind of bad about it.
Speaker 1: I wish I tried, but.
Speaker 2: Sometimes i'd snap at people and they tell me that
Speaker 2: stuff in games because it it shouldn't matter until the
Speaker 2: game's over. But he would have got five if if
Speaker 2: we gave a chance to but did won for Juice,
Speaker 2: then we had a they gave his quarterback sneak look
Speaker 2: and Brock took it, and but I wish I got
Speaker 2: him five he deserved.
Speaker 1: It seemed like they did well. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: all the fronts that they run.
Speaker 2: We got four guys in the line, five sometimes six,
Speaker 2: and I thought we were able to stay balanced and
Speaker 2: do well in the run game and in the past game.
Speaker 2: For the most part, I thought they protected Brock pretty
Speaker 2: real good and I was real happy out there.
Speaker 1: I'll see when I watch tape tonight.
Speaker 3: You don't have a vote, and I know you don't
Speaker 3: really care who the MVP is, but Ronny bets On
Speaker 3: was never get it. But could Christian be the MVP
Speaker 3: of this league right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure in the whole rest of the league
Speaker 2: right now, but I thought he played like it last
Speaker 2: year when he was here. So you know, if Christian's
Speaker 2: so awesome, he helps us win every time he's out there.
Speaker 2: But when you got a guy who can do everything,
Speaker 2: you can always have unbelievable stats. But he shares that
Speaker 2: with a lot of other guys and we do whatever
Speaker 2: it takes to win. So that's, to me, the thing
Speaker 2: that would make it the hardest for him, just stats
Speaker 2: and how it works out.
Speaker 3: What do you think of your defensive performance tonight?
Speaker 2: I thought they had a couple of lapses. You know,
Speaker 2: they started out real strong. You know, we had that
Speaker 2: miss kickoff. I think they got him at the forty
Speaker 2: their first score. It's on a short field. They got
Speaker 2: that three. That was more penalty on the kickoff. The
Speaker 2: most disappointing part was that last drive of the second quarter.
Speaker 2: We had a couple of chances to get him off
Speaker 2: the field and for them to go ninety nine and
Speaker 2: all that time hurt. And then the next drive that
Speaker 2: they got, So they had about two drives in a
Speaker 2: row that they we need to get better on. Besides
Speaker 2: those two drives they didn't. They kept the mouthains on
Speaker 2: the rest of the game.
Speaker 3: Did you have the should you have the defensive unit
Speaker 3: out there?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 2: I mean we were ready for the fake punt. We
Speaker 2: didn't have all the defensive guys out there. I thought
Speaker 2: our guys played it pretty well. But I thought that
Speaker 2: guy ran hard. Uh, he ran hard. I thought we
Speaker 2: had him stopped for about one one and a half
Speaker 2: I think it was fourth and two and he fell forward.
Speaker 2: We knew there was a chance of it, but you know,
Speaker 2: we obviously you know they're gonna do it. We put
Speaker 2: defense out and hopefully have a better result. But that
Speaker 2: was a hell of a job by them, real risky
Speaker 2: call and it paid off for him.
Speaker 3: What you say, you always call them as if they
Speaker 3: might score. Is there a different confident So when you're
Speaker 3: calling them mccaffery's.
Speaker 1: Number, yeah, you just I mean, it's.
Speaker 2: It doesn't totally work that way where I just call
Speaker 2: guys numbers. Just the way it all balances out. He's
Speaker 2: a very good option in every single situation. I mean,
Speaker 2: whether he's the first guy you're looking at and man
Speaker 2: to man, or whether they're covering other guys and you
Speaker 2: come to him last in zone. And when you have
Speaker 2: a guy who can beat man coverage, when you've got
Speaker 2: a guy who's got very good hands, and when you
Speaker 2: get a guy who's extremely natural at finding the spots
Speaker 2: and zones, there's not many bad looks for him for
Speaker 2: down in the first.
Speaker 3: Half that you went for it makes a pretty tough
Speaker 3: throat to get it. You did that in week one. Also,
Speaker 3: how has he been able to earn so much trust
Speaker 3: in you in such a.
Speaker 2: Short just your experiences with a guy, and he's extremely
Speaker 2: consistent in practice since he's been here, and he's been
Speaker 2: the same in game. So what you guys see is
Speaker 2: what we see, and it's what we feel, and it's him.
Speaker 2: It's also the guys you're throwing it too, and those
Speaker 2: situations where you're on the field.
Speaker 3: A lot of the players talked to about not wanting
Speaker 3: a leaf points on the table. I know that was
Speaker 3: the point of emphasis for you. So how encouraged were
Speaker 3: you going five for five in the red zone.
Speaker 1: I was very encouraged. I mean, those guys are a
Speaker 1: challenge down there.
Speaker 2: That's what's so tough about them schematically, just how many
Speaker 2: guys that they have and how much they choose to
Speaker 2: drop into coverage, and especially with their personnel when they
Speaker 2: have six guys in the line, So there can be
Speaker 2: a challengeing spot to score. And we felt that going
Speaker 2: into this game. So if you would have told me
Speaker 2: we were five for five before, I would have been
Speaker 2: extremely happy.
Speaker 4: You acknowledged when you when you traded for McCaffrey and
Speaker 4: I think it's nineteen nineteen days short of a year
Speaker 4: rated four him ago? Did he that he and you
Speaker 4: give him a lot of draft picks to get him.
Speaker 4: You knowledged that there's a risk always when you do
Speaker 4: something like that. Could you imagine he would be this good?
Speaker 1: I mean, you hope? So, I mean you know he's
Speaker 1: that good of a player just watching him and stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean I think the whole league does.
Speaker 2: But then when you get someone or when you're around
Speaker 2: him personally, then you realize how much better he is
Speaker 2: just because of the intangibles that he has and really
Speaker 2: his whole makeup and how he works each week and
Speaker 2: how he prepares for a season from what he's been
Speaker 2: doing us with us and ot as all the way
Speaker 2: to now. I mean, he's as much of a professional
Speaker 2: as I've been around. And you know, trade you in
Speaker 2: order to make trades, you usually have to give a
Speaker 2: little bit more to get people, and then there's always
Speaker 2: a risk that they.
Speaker 1: Won't work out. There's injuries in this league. There's tons
Speaker 1: of stuff.
Speaker 2: But what you like to do is know who the
Speaker 2: guy you're betting on. And he's a dude that I
Speaker 2: think everyone would bet on so.
Speaker 1: Better. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: I mean, all all good players out there make their
Speaker 2: teammates better. But my favorite thing about is it is
Speaker 2: just how he carries himself too. That's when you're one
Speaker 2: of the best players in the league, but you carry
Speaker 2: yourself with the work ethic and the consistency of how
Speaker 2: important every little detail is. And he's harder on himself
Speaker 2: than anybody is. It makes it fun to coach everyone
Speaker 2: else too.
Speaker 3: Limited today, did you have to do it?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I mean he just he didn't really practice
Speaker 2: all week, so it was a hell of him. Hell
Speaker 2: of a job just him getting himself ready to or
Speaker 2: he could go out there and play. He didn't get
Speaker 2: a ton of opportunities, but you know that it ends
Speaker 2: up being a good thing because hopefully he's taken care
Speaker 2: of more from this game. Can check out fine and
Speaker 2: I'll get a little better week next week. As a
Speaker 2: former receiver, how amazed are you at the catch radius
Speaker 2: of Ayuk and how it's grown this year? I mean
Speaker 2: I always look at Ayuk like he's one of the
Speaker 2: taller receivers. I don't know if he is heightwise, but
Speaker 2: his arms are what make him that way. He's got
Speaker 2: a great radius. You can put it anywhere around him.
Speaker 2: And uh, Brock's got a lot of confidence in him.
Speaker 2: And he took three shots to him down the field
Speaker 2: and he came down with all three of them. So Ba,
Speaker 2: he's just getting better and better. And he's doing with
Speaker 2: his quarterback too.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine like if you didn't get mcgaffery.
Speaker 1: No, don't ever say that.
Speaker 3: Almost didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's real close.
Speaker 2: I mean there's always especially when you decide on some
Speaker 2: something and then there's you need a little bit more
Speaker 2: and it's like, man, we weren't going to do that?
Speaker 1: Should we do more? And it's it's always that huge debate.
Speaker 2: That's why usually when trades happen with lots of good players,
Speaker 2: there's usually are one or two teams involved, because trades
Speaker 2: are tough and there's always a huge risk, and when
Speaker 2: those don't work out, it's not just how the player
Speaker 2: don't work out, it's also you don't get those draft
Speaker 2: picks back too, so there's always a gamble to it.
Speaker 2: But no, life has been much better, all right, Thanks guys.
