00:02:51.411 --> 00:02:54.783
Like,<00:02:51.572> that's<00:02:52.776> whether<00:02:53.017> you<00:02:53.097> fall<00:02:54.141> left<00:02:54.414> or<00:02:54.558> right.

00:02:55.040 --> 00:02:56.341
That's<00:02:55.217> a<00:02:55.281> pretty<00:02:55.602> big<00:02:55.827> thing<00:02:55.987> to<00:02:56.068> do.

00:02:56.646 --> 00:03:00.050
My<00:02:56.806> biggest<00:02:57.111> question<00:02:57.352> after<00:02:57.593> that<00:02:57.834> is<00:02:58.075> why<00:02:58.813> was<00:02:58.974> he<00:02:59.118> allowed<00:02:59.600> to<00:02:59.696> do<00:02:59.873> that?

00:03:00.162 --> 00:03:04.899
I<00:03:00.242> understand<00:03:00.756> that<00:03:00.885> he's<00:03:01.125> been<00:03:01.286> around<00:03:01.543> the<00:03:01.623> White<00:03:01.848> House<00:03:02.105> a<00:03:02.169> fair<00:03:02.282> amount,<00:03:03.229> but<00:03:03.470> like,<00:03:03.775> I<00:03:03.871> have<00:03:04.032> friends<00:03:04.369> who<00:03:04.497> come<00:03:04.674> over.

00:03:04.947 --> 00:03:07.803
Like,<00:03:05.172> I'm<00:03:05.316> not<00:03:05.557> going<00:03:05.637> to<00:03:05.718> let<00:03:05.942> you<00:03:06.842> like<00:03:07.066> pay<00:03:07.178> my<00:03:07.386> car<00:03:07.563> note.

00:03:07.899 --> 00:03:10.463
I'm<00:03:08.043> not<00:03:08.204> going<00:03:08.316> to<00:03:08.348> be<00:03:08.380> like,<00:03:08.508> hey<00:03:08.620> man,<00:03:08.909> why<00:03:08.957> don't<00:03:09.149> you<00:03:09.181> go<00:03:09.389> do<00:03:09.486> this<00:03:09.646> serious<00:03:10.046> thing<00:03:10.271> for<00:03:10.319> me?

00:03:10.928 --> 00:03:17.482
But<00:03:11.809> him<00:03:12.274> being<00:03:12.514> able<00:03:12.690> to<00:03:12.851> do<00:03:13.091> that<00:03:13.652> and<00:03:13.732> him<00:03:14.133> being<00:03:14.437> an<00:03:14.469> Iraqi-born<00:03:15.431> citizen,<00:03:16.520> uh,<00:03:16.680> who<00:03:16.777> lives<00:03:16.937> in<00:03:17.017> the<00:03:17.161> US—.

00:03:17.482 --> 00:03:18.924
He's<00:03:17.914> a<00:03:18.042> US<00:03:18.299> citizen<00:03:18.764> though,.

00:03:19.821 --> 00:03:20.206
Correct?

00:03:20.302 --> 00:03:22.081
But<00:03:20.382> he<00:03:20.718> was<00:03:20.943> born—<00:03:21.247> he<00:03:21.327> was<00:03:21.488> born<00:03:21.680> in<00:03:21.808> Iraq.

00:03:22.145 --> 00:03:22.401
Gotcha.

00:03:23.443 --> 00:03:36.774
So<00:03:23.731> that<00:03:23.907> would<00:03:24.068> make<00:03:24.308> sense,<00:03:25.654> along<00:03:26.135> with<00:03:26.375> him<00:03:27.272> helping<00:03:27.673> to<00:03:27.769> negotiate<00:03:28.474> the<00:03:28.618> release<00:03:28.955> of<00:03:29.099> a<00:03:29.500> hostage<00:03:30.061> from<00:03:30.557> Iraq,<00:03:31.423> uh,<00:03:31.503> would<00:03:31.663> make<00:03:31.839> sense<00:03:32.224> why<00:03:32.480> he<00:03:32.640> would<00:03:32.801> have<00:03:33.826> be<00:03:33.922> named<00:03:34.163> special<00:03:34.627> envoy<00:03:35.044> to<00:03:35.428> that<00:03:35.925> aforementioned<00:03:36.406> country.

00:03:37.111 --> 00:03:48.310
It's<00:03:37.175> just<00:03:37.271> more<00:03:37.463> so<00:03:37.832> like<00:03:38.168> we<00:03:38.248> got<00:03:38.553> step<00:03:39.033> A<00:03:39.274> of<00:03:39.530> who<00:03:39.610> he<00:03:39.915> is,<00:03:40.555> step<00:03:40.828> C<00:03:41.212> and<00:03:41.373> D<00:03:41.677> of<00:03:41.837> like<00:03:42.013> what<00:03:42.158> he's<00:03:42.398> done,<00:03:43.039> but<00:03:43.199> step<00:03:43.616> B<00:03:43.856> of<00:03:44.016> why<00:03:44.256> were<00:03:44.401> you<00:03:44.561> allowed<00:03:44.817> to<00:03:44.961> do<00:03:45.138> this<00:03:45.378> thing<00:03:46.419> is<00:03:46.580> kind<00:03:46.820> of<00:03:46.964> where<00:03:47.124> I'm<00:03:47.237> a<00:03:47.525> little<00:03:47.685> bit<00:03:47.781> hung<00:03:48.006> up<00:03:48.246> on.

00:03:48.967 --> 00:03:52.059
Um,<00:03:49.448> but<00:03:49.624> we<00:03:50.809> will<00:03:50.906> get<00:03:51.130> to<00:03:51.162> know<00:03:51.322> the<00:03:51.402> name<00:03:51.643> even<00:03:51.931> more.

00:03:52.572 --> 00:04:00.166
I<00:03:52.908> do<00:03:53.069> wonder<00:03:53.309> what<00:03:53.469> it's<00:03:53.549> going<00:03:53.709> to<00:03:53.790> do<00:03:54.014> for<00:03:54.174> his<00:03:54.991> Leaf<00:03:55.232> and<00:03:55.312> Bud<00:03:55.552> sales,<00:03:56.337> uh,<00:03:56.513> because<00:03:56.690> I'm<00:03:56.818> sure<00:03:57.138> his<00:03:57.314> name<00:03:57.539> is<00:03:57.619> going<00:03:57.779> to<00:03:57.811> be<00:03:58.740> a<00:03:58.772> lot<00:03:59.141> more<00:03:59.317> places<00:03:59.702> as<00:03:59.798> a<00:03:59.862> result.

00:04:00.214 --> 00:04:03.645

00:04:09.986 --> 00:04:13.775
When<00:04:10.083> we<00:04:10.227> post<00:04:10.484> about<00:04:10.773> it<00:04:10.853> on<00:04:11.014> social<00:04:11.335> media,<00:04:12.298> you<00:04:12.330> know,<00:04:12.619> people<00:04:12.812> are<00:04:12.940> like,<00:04:13.181> hey,<00:04:13.438> boycott.

Yeah,<00:07:46.727> I<00:07:46.759> mean,<00:07:47.289> I'll<00:07:47.482> admit<00:07:48.093> I<00:07:50.278> multiple<00:07:50.824> times<00:07:51.628> was<00:07:51.805> very<00:07:52.046> worried<00:07:52.271> about<00:07:52.383> the<00:07:52.512> secondary.

00:07:53.556 --> 00:08:01.276
I<00:07:53.733> understood<00:07:54.681> that<00:07:55.099> Baker<00:07:55.404> Mayfield<00:07:55.983> did<00:07:56.209> not<00:07:56.935> have<00:07:58.791> most<00:07:59.033> of<00:07:59.065> his<00:07:59.275> receivers,<00:08:00.082> and<00:08:00.163> if<00:08:00.195> he<00:08:00.340> did,<00:08:00.582> they<00:08:00.727> were<00:08:00.808> unhealthy.

00:08:01.631 --> 00:08:07.688
But<00:08:01.712> he<00:08:01.857> was<00:08:02.018> currently<00:08:02.454> riding<00:08:02.841> a<00:08:02.906> 5-1<00:08:03.487> record,<00:08:03.890> the<00:08:04.052> one<00:08:04.277> loss<00:08:04.616> being<00:08:05.020> to<00:08:05.230> the<00:08:05.508> Philadelphia<00:08:06.164> Eagles,<00:08:06.409> the<00:08:06.491> defending<00:08:06.819> Super<00:08:07.065> Bowl<00:08:07.294> champions.

00:08:08.456 --> 00:08:11.807
And<00:08:08.697> he<00:08:08.857> was<00:08:09.354> riding<00:08:09.739> high<00:08:09.995> for<00:08:10.075> an<00:08:10.220> MVP-like<00:08:11.101> caliber<00:08:11.454> season.

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.698
So<00:08:12.544> it<00:08:12.576> was<00:08:12.801> very<00:08:13.121> worrisome.

00:08:14.227 --> 00:08:24.840
Uh,<00:08:14.404> typically<00:08:14.788> when<00:08:14.901> it's<00:08:15.045> a<00:08:15.205> patchwork<00:08:15.750> offense<00:08:16.023> against<00:08:16.183> a<00:08:16.247> patchwork<00:08:16.808> defense<00:08:17.610> in<00:08:17.690> today's<00:08:17.995> NFL,<00:08:18.411> the<00:08:18.556> offense<00:08:19.293> tends<00:08:19.758> to<00:08:19.854> get<00:08:21.040> way,<00:08:21.441> way<00:08:21.553> more<00:08:21.842> help,<00:08:22.563> uh,<00:08:22.643> in<00:08:22.740> terms<00:08:23.044> of,<00:08:23.140> you<00:08:23.221> know,<00:08:23.718> standings<00:08:24.263> in<00:08:24.327> that<00:08:24.487> regard.

00:08:25.305 --> 00:08:26.667
But<00:08:25.481> no,<00:08:25.641> the<00:08:25.785> defense<00:08:26.170> stood<00:08:26.491> up.

00:08:26.731 --> 00:08:30.498
Yes,<00:08:27.389> the<00:08:27.469> pass<00:08:27.853> rush<00:08:28.174> did<00:08:28.334> help,<00:08:28.735> but<00:08:28.831> it<00:08:28.863> doesn't<00:08:29.152> really<00:08:29.232> matter<00:08:29.456> if<00:08:29.553> the<00:08:29.633> quarterback<00:08:29.873> can<00:08:29.953> get<00:08:30.050> a<00:08:30.114> throw<00:08:30.354> out.

00:08:31.236 --> 00:08:33.929
But<00:08:32.422> they<00:08:32.598> made<00:08:32.919> Baker<00:08:33.224> Mayfield<00:08:33.721> move.

00:08:34.425 --> 00:08:41.394
And<00:08:34.907> at<00:08:35.020> the<00:08:35.148> end<00:08:35.228> of<00:08:35.260> the<00:08:35.389> first<00:08:35.710> half,<00:08:36.047> he<00:08:36.192> had<00:08:36.673> like,<00:08:36.946> I<00:08:37.171> think,<00:08:37.316> something<00:08:37.492> like<00:08:37.637> 60-something,<00:08:38.375> 70-something<00:08:38.937> passing<00:08:39.323> yards,<00:08:39.660> which<00:08:40.768> insane.

00:08:41.571 --> 00:08:46.099
They<00:08:41.683> made<00:08:41.972> him<00:08:42.149> move,<00:08:42.373> finished<00:08:42.614> with<00:08:42.775> only<00:08:42.951> 9<00:08:43.353> points<00:08:43.674> on<00:08:43.835> one,<00:08:45.360> one<00:08:45.601> touchdown.

00:08:46.147 --> 00:08:50.594
That<00:08:46.227> was<00:08:46.388> great<00:08:46.564> to<00:08:46.644> Tess<00:08:46.950> Johnson<00:08:47.608> where<00:08:47.688> he<00:08:47.752> had<00:08:47.849> to<00:08:47.897> make<00:08:48.074> a<00:08:48.090> lot<00:08:48.186> of<00:08:48.250> people<00:08:48.507> miss,<00:08:49.358> but<00:08:49.454> they<00:08:49.615> kept<00:08:49.872> him<00:08:50.016> under<00:08:50.257> pressure.

00:08:50.659 --> 00:08:55.604
And<00:08:50.803> honestly,<00:08:51.799> if<00:08:51.927> it<00:08:51.959> wasn't<00:08:52.184> for<00:08:52.296> the<00:08:52.409> offense<00:08:52.891> sputtering<00:08:53.372> a<00:08:53.388> few<00:08:53.629> times,<00:08:54.014> this<00:08:54.191> game<00:08:54.432> should<00:08:54.609> not<00:08:54.769> even<00:08:54.994> been<00:08:55.154> this<00:08:55.395> close.

00:08:56.503 --> 00:08:59.297
It<00:08:56.600> should<00:08:56.808> have<00:08:56.921> been<00:08:57.081> something<00:08:57.483> like<00:08:57.724> 35-40<00:08:58.928> to<00:08:59.088> 9.

00:08:59.796 --> 00:09:08.564
Um,<00:09:00.294> but<00:09:00.519> there<00:09:00.615> are<00:09:00.695> a<00:09:00.775> few—<00:09:01.321> maybe<00:09:01.562> a<00:09:01.578> missed<00:09:02.686> pass<00:09:02.943> interference<00:09:03.891> on<00:09:04.148> Teslah<00:09:04.485> in<00:09:04.694> the<00:09:04.790> end<00:09:04.951> zone,<00:09:05.818> a<00:09:05.914> few<00:09:06.155> other<00:09:06.316> plays<00:09:06.781> where<00:09:06.958> maybe<00:09:07.135> the<00:09:07.263> call<00:09:07.520> was<00:09:07.665> not<00:09:07.906> that<00:09:08.163> great.

00:09:09.110 --> 00:09:11.936
But<00:09:09.190> the<00:09:09.287> defense<00:09:09.752> really<00:09:10.009> stood<00:09:10.395> up,<00:09:10.652> and<00:09:10.732> not<00:09:10.973> just<00:09:11.278> the<00:09:11.310> secondary.

00:09:12.563 --> 00:09:14.377
Uh,<00:09:12.820> but<00:09:12.980> there<00:09:13.076> were<00:09:13.221> a<00:09:13.285> few<00:09:13.542> players<00:09:13.928> on<00:09:14.008> the<00:09:14.104> line.

00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:16.706
Al-Qurayn<00:09:14.971> Muhammad,<00:09:15.469> who<00:09:15.630> played<00:09:15.951> great,<00:09:16.192> had<00:09:16.353> a<00:09:16.369> sack.

00:09:16.834 --> 00:09:18.890
Jack<00:09:17.075> Campbell,<00:09:17.557> the<00:09:17.637> linebacker,<00:09:18.264> also<00:09:18.424> had<00:09:18.537> a<00:09:18.601> sack.

00:09:18.938 --> 00:09:20.014
So<00:09:19.018> did<00:09:19.243> Derek<00:09:19.629> Barnes.

00:09:20.431 --> 00:09:21.620
Anzalone<00:09:20.849> was<00:09:21.010> flying<00:09:21.347> around.

00:09:22.921 --> 00:09:25.201
Tyrus<00:09:23.499> Wheat<00:09:24.045> had<00:09:24.286> a<00:09:24.302> sack<00:09:24.703> and<00:09:24.783> a<00:09:24.864> half.

00:09:25.265 --> 00:09:28.828
And<00:09:25.345> I<00:09:25.490> will<00:09:25.667> say,<00:09:26.148> because<00:09:26.453> I<00:09:26.550> am<00:09:27.336> impartial<00:09:27.898> as<00:09:27.994> most<00:09:28.299> I<00:09:28.315> can<00:09:28.636> be.

00:09:29.342 --> 00:09:39.047
For<00:09:29.502> all<00:09:29.598> the<00:09:29.679> people<00:09:30.064> who<00:09:30.160> are<00:09:30.240> complaining<00:09:30.641> the<00:09:30.802> Lions<00:09:31.138> are<00:09:31.267> getting<00:09:31.588> home<00:09:31.828> cooking<00:09:32.229> calls<00:09:32.518> because<00:09:32.727> of<00:09:32.791> last<00:09:33.192> week,<00:09:33.850> there<00:09:34.010> was<00:09:34.571> one<00:09:34.876> call,<00:09:36.320> one<00:09:36.561> play<00:09:36.898> where<00:09:37.042> I<00:09:37.138> was<00:09:37.379> like,<00:09:37.636> yeah,<00:09:37.764> the<00:09:37.796> Lions<00:09:38.101> got<00:09:38.261> benefit<00:09:38.518> of<00:09:38.582> the<00:09:38.726> doubt.

00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:40.315
It<00:09:39.448> was<00:09:39.689> late<00:09:39.865> in<00:09:39.946> the<00:09:40.026> game.

00:09:40.427 --> 00:09:44.710
Tyrese<00:09:40.828> Wheat<00:09:41.053> got<00:09:41.213> a<00:09:41.229> sack<00:09:42.015> on,<00:09:42.256> uh,<00:09:42.512> Baker<00:09:42.817> Mayfield,<00:09:43.218> and<00:09:43.315> Baker<00:09:43.619> got<00:09:43.732> up<00:09:43.860> upset<00:09:44.357> pointing.

00:09:46.186 --> 00:09:48.175
Technically,<00:09:46.924> that<00:09:47.084> should<00:09:47.341> have<00:09:47.486> been<00:09:47.646> a<00:09:47.726> penalty.

00:09:48.673 --> 00:09:53.277
Um,<00:09:49.010> Tyrese<00:09:49.491> Wheat<00:09:50.132> was<00:09:50.293> not<00:09:50.453> going<00:09:50.614> to<00:09:50.694> get<00:09:50.919> to<00:09:50.999> Baker<00:09:51.255> Mayfield,<00:09:51.673> and<00:09:51.737> he<00:09:51.817> stuck<00:09:52.202> his<00:09:52.362> leg<00:09:52.603> out<00:09:52.763> to<00:09:52.860> trip<00:09:53.164> him.

00:09:53.983 --> 00:09:56.214
And<00:09:54.079> they<00:09:54.288> outlawed<00:09:54.705> tripping<00:09:55.187> like<00:09:55.492> 10<00:09:55.748> years<00:09:56.005> ago.

00:09:56.406 --> 00:09:58.284
If<00:09:56.567> you<00:09:56.695> trip<00:09:56.888> someone,<00:09:57.161> it's<00:09:57.257> a<00:09:57.273> 15-yard<00:09:57.915> penalty.

00:09:59.183 --> 00:10:01.944
I<00:09:59.215> don't<00:09:59.440> know<00:09:59.488> if<00:09:59.536> it's<00:09:59.665> for<00:09:59.745> unsporting<00:10:00.483> or<00:10:00.628> like<00:10:00.868> you're<00:10:00.965> not<00:10:01.141> supposed<00:10:01.302> to<00:10:01.430> trip<00:10:01.607> people.

00:10:02.345 --> 00:10:04.849
So<00:10:02.875> I<00:10:02.891> don't<00:10:03.292> know<00:10:03.533> how<00:10:03.773> they<00:10:03.934> got<00:10:04.480> that<00:10:04.720> one.

00:10:04.897 --> 00:10:10.916
And<00:10:04.961> the<00:10:04.993> ref<00:10:05.218> was<00:10:05.378> like—<00:10:06.245> even<00:10:06.325> after<00:10:06.518> the<00:10:06.646> play,<00:10:06.983> you<00:10:07.144> see<00:10:07.369> him<00:10:07.465> talk<00:10:07.866> to<00:10:08.011> Wheat<00:10:08.348> about<00:10:08.685> it<00:10:08.717> and<00:10:08.829> they<00:10:08.909> see<00:10:09.150> them<00:10:09.311> kind<00:10:09.487> of<00:10:09.551> talking<00:10:10.017> and<00:10:10.081> he<00:10:10.193> says,<00:10:10.434> okay.

00:10:11.301 --> 00:10:12.890
And<00:10:11.397> Baker<00:10:11.718> Mayfield<00:10:12.184> angrily<00:10:12.601> pointing.

00:10:12.938 --> 00:10:16.726

00:12:40.232 --> 00:12:41.005
A<00:12:40.248> lot<00:12:40.409> of<00:12:40.457> things<00:12:40.650> could<00:12:40.779> change.

00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:47.473
But<00:12:41.842> before<00:12:42.148> I<00:12:42.164> let<00:12:42.325> you<00:12:42.470> go,<00:12:42.872> just<00:12:43.436> how<00:12:43.532> are<00:12:43.677> you<00:12:43.774> feeling<00:12:44.176> about<00:12:44.402> the<00:12:44.482> team<00:12:44.724> right<00:12:44.885> now<00:12:45.062> at<00:12:45.142> this,<00:12:45.544> at<00:12:45.689> this<00:12:45.866> time<00:12:46.187> since<00:12:46.348> we<00:12:46.428> got—<00:12:46.669> we're<00:12:46.814> hitting<00:12:46.991> the<00:12:47.071> bye<00:12:47.232> week?

00:12:48.583 --> 00:12:53.149
Offense,<00:12:49.966> a<00:12:50.030> little<00:12:50.207> bit<00:12:50.271> better<00:12:50.448> than<00:12:50.544> the<00:12:50.625> start<00:12:50.850> of<00:12:50.882> the<00:12:50.946> season,<00:12:51.477> obviously,<00:12:52.056> but<00:12:52.152> still<00:12:52.393> a<00:12:52.442> little<00:12:52.683> concerned.

00:12:53.786 --> 00:12:59.040
Um,<00:12:53.964> there<00:12:54.125> were<00:12:54.368> a<00:12:54.432> few<00:12:54.691> times<00:12:55.095> where<00:12:55.241> just<00:12:55.500> the<00:12:55.661> play<00:12:55.904> calling<00:12:58.313> hurt<00:12:58.555> my<00:12:58.798> head.

00:12:59.606 --> 00:13:06.023
And<00:12:59.703> like,<00:13:00.253> generally,<00:13:00.835> especially<00:13:01.126> the<00:13:01.158> last<00:13:01.836> uh,<00:13:02.494> last<00:13:02.734> night,<00:13:03.232> it<00:13:03.376> worked<00:13:03.681> out<00:13:03.857> way<00:13:04.018> more<00:13:04.339> than<00:13:05.381> it<00:13:05.446> was<00:13:05.494> supposed<00:13:05.927> to.

00:13:06.184 --> 00:13:15.601
They<00:13:06.328> ran<00:13:06.585> that<00:13:06.745> handoff<00:13:07.130> option<00:13:07.467> play<00:13:07.692> where<00:13:07.852> Amon-Ra<00:13:08.350> gets<00:13:08.510> the<00:13:08.606> ball<00:13:08.767> from<00:13:08.991> Goff,<00:13:09.312> and<00:13:10.259> Amon-Ra<00:13:10.740> options<00:13:11.077> it<00:13:11.221> out<00:13:11.623> to<00:13:11.783> Gibbs,<00:13:12.585> and<00:13:12.826> it<00:13:12.858> should<00:13:13.050> have<00:13:13.099> been<00:13:13.259> stopped<00:13:13.644> in<00:13:13.708> the<00:13:13.805> backfield<00:13:14.350> for<00:13:14.591> like<00:13:14.767> a<00:13:14.831> fourth<00:13:15.168> down<00:13:15.409> loss.

00:13:15.810 --> 00:13:18.393
But<00:13:16.035> Gibbs<00:13:16.291> made<00:13:16.468> a<00:13:16.532> play,<00:13:17.254> was<00:13:17.350> able<00:13:17.527> to<00:13:17.575> get<00:13:17.799> the<00:13:17.880> first<00:13:18.136> down.

00:13:18.457 --> 00:13:21.473
And<00:13:18.537> like,<00:13:18.762> I<00:13:18.794> don't<00:13:19.019> know<00:13:19.179> why<00:13:19.404> you<00:13:19.484> would<00:13:19.644> call<00:13:19.837> a<00:13:19.901> play<00:13:20.142> like<00:13:20.366> that<00:13:20.543> in<00:13:20.623> that<00:13:20.800> situation.

00:13:21.810 --> 00:13:27.089
It<00:13:21.842> kind<00:13:22.051> of<00:13:22.131> rings<00:13:22.468> of<00:13:22.613> like<00:13:22.950> Ben<00:13:23.270> Johnson<00:13:23.671> being<00:13:23.896> a<00:13:23.912> little<00:13:24.008> bit<00:13:24.153> too<00:13:24.377> tricky<00:13:25.613> for,<00:13:26.094> for<00:13:26.319> no<00:13:26.720> reason.

00:13:27.667 --> 00:13:34.399
Um,<00:13:28.004> there<00:13:28.165> is<00:13:28.326> one<00:13:28.567> concerning<00:13:29.049> stat<00:13:29.290> I<00:13:29.370> have<00:13:29.531> with<00:13:29.675> the<00:13:29.836> offense<00:13:30.639> which<00:13:30.800> popped<00:13:31.121> up<00:13:32.969> so<00:13:33.226> far<00:13:33.853> this<00:13:34.029> season.

00:13:34.592 --> 00:13:42.148
They<00:13:34.817> are<00:13:34.865> 0<00:13:35.475> for<00:13:35.877> 20,<00:13:36.921> I<00:13:36.970> think<00:13:37.148> now<00:13:37.277> 0<00:13:37.487> for<00:13:37.649> 21,<00:13:39.025> when<00:13:39.187> it<00:13:39.251> comes<00:13:39.575> to<00:13:39.656> third<00:13:40.142> down<00:13:40.465> and<00:13:40.562> 10<00:13:41.210> or<00:13:41.372> more<00:13:41.760> yards.

00:13:42.650 --> 00:13:49.860
And<00:13:42.893> that's<00:13:43.216> concerning<00:13:45.247> because<00:13:45.729> you<00:13:45.890> can't—<00:13:46.999> at<00:13:47.096> some<00:13:47.417> point<00:13:47.658> you<00:13:47.803> have<00:13:48.076> to<00:13:48.205> convert<00:13:48.960> from<00:13:49.185> further<00:13:49.587> away.

00:13:50.150 --> 00:13:53.813
It<00:13:50.230> can't<00:13:50.536> just<00:13:50.712> be<00:13:50.873> third<00:13:51.195> and<00:13:51.275> shorts<00:13:51.645> because<00:13:51.757> that's<00:13:51.918> not<00:13:52.111> going<00:13:52.239> to<00:13:52.384> happen<00:13:53.076> every<00:13:53.268> single<00:13:53.653> game.

00:13:54.310 --> 00:13:57.501
So<00:13:55.160> they<00:13:55.256> gotta<00:13:55.417> do<00:13:55.497> something<00:13:55.978> about<00:13:56.234> that<00:13:56.459> offensively<00:13:56.924> when<00:13:57.004> they<00:13:57.100> get<00:13:57.261> back.

00:13:57.565 --> 00:14:04.893
But<00:13:57.742> defensively,<00:13:59.088> um,<00:14:00.387> obviously<00:14:01.029> they<00:14:01.093> have<00:14:01.349> less<00:14:01.590> players<00:14:01.975> hurt<00:14:02.151> than<00:14:02.311> last<00:14:02.616> year,<00:14:03.193> but<00:14:03.418> they<00:14:03.514> are<00:14:03.674> firing<00:14:04.155> on<00:14:04.235> all<00:14:04.396> cylinders.

00:14:04.957 --> 00:14:06.207
They<00:14:05.117> are<00:14:05.277> playing<00:14:05.823> great.

00:14:06.705 --> 00:14:13.583
Even<00:14:06.881> the<00:14:07.025> games<00:14:07.346> they've<00:14:07.667> lost<00:14:08.468> this<00:14:08.725> year,<00:14:09.110> the<00:14:09.206> games<00:14:09.543> against<00:14:10.088> the<00:14:10.328> Packers,<00:14:10.777> the<00:14:10.809> game<00:14:10.857> against<00:14:11.114> the<00:14:11.194> Chiefs,<00:14:12.156> those<00:14:12.413> weren't<00:14:12.637> defensive<00:14:13.198> losses.

00:14:13.775 --> 00:14:15.972
The<00:14:13.856> defense<00:14:14.256> did<00:14:14.337> the<00:14:14.497> best<00:14:14.818> they<00:14:15.042> could<00:14:15.186> with<00:14:15.299> what<00:14:15.523> they<00:14:15.683> had.

00:14:16.485 --> 00:14:25.969
And<00:14:16.742> eventually,<00:14:17.447> after<00:14:17.704> a<00:14:17.784> while,<00:14:18.169> you<00:14:18.249> get<00:14:18.425> worn<00:14:18.746> down<00:14:19.147> if<00:14:19.227> you<00:14:19.307> keep<00:14:19.532> having<00:14:19.724> to<00:14:19.788> have<00:14:19.949> a<00:14:19.965> short<00:14:20.413> field<00:14:20.670> to<00:14:20.814> play<00:14:21.697> obviously<00:14:22.034> you're<00:14:22.098> gonna<00:14:22.195> give<00:14:22.339> up<00:14:22.436> more<00:14:22.677> points,<00:14:23.480> but<00:14:24.604> defense<00:14:25.021> is<00:14:25.166> playing<00:14:25.567> great.

00:14:26.290 --> 00:14:29.727
Jack<00:14:26.595> Fox,<00:14:27.013> the<00:14:27.174> punter,<00:14:27.736> is<00:14:27.896> still<00:14:28.362> Jack<00:14:28.619> Fox<00:14:29.326> the<00:14:29.422> punter.

00:14:29.824 --> 00:14:32.265
He<00:14:30.627> has<00:14:30.803> another<00:14:31.253> All-Pro<00:14:31.735> penciled<00:14:32.136> in.

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:41.500
Jake<00:14:33.357> Bates<00:14:33.662> missing<00:14:33.999> a<00:14:34.016> few<00:14:34.240> field<00:14:34.481> goals,<00:14:36.071> you<00:14:36.120> don't<00:14:36.248> really<00:14:36.473> want<00:14:36.553> to<00:14:36.633> see<00:14:36.794> that<00:14:36.907> from<00:14:37.196> deep,<00:14:37.677> but<00:14:38.015> you<00:14:38.095> know,<00:14:38.256> he's<00:14:38.481> still<00:14:39.364> the<00:14:39.460> bricklayer,<00:14:40.119> so<00:14:40.408> you<00:14:40.440> still<00:14:40.617> got<00:14:40.713> to<00:14:40.745> put<00:14:40.890> your<00:14:41.050> faith<00:14:41.243> in<00:14:41.371> him.

00:14:42.014 --> 00:14:43.475
Overall,<00:14:42.351> I<00:14:42.512> think<00:14:42.672> I'd<00:14:42.753> give<00:14:42.913> the<00:14:42.978> team<00:14:43.170> a<00:14:43.299> B+.

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:53.963
Um,<00:14:45.162> I<00:14:45.242> can't<00:14:45.547> give<00:14:45.644> him<00:14:45.804> an<00:14:45.949> A<00:14:46.607> just<00:14:46.929> because<00:14:48.294> The<00:14:48.519> offense<00:14:49.000> is<00:14:49.161> worrying<00:14:49.579> me<00:14:49.819> a<00:14:49.835> little<00:14:50.060> bit,<00:14:50.301> but<00:14:50.446> it's<00:14:50.783> doing<00:14:51.104> well<00:14:51.345> enough<00:14:52.228> to<00:14:52.373> where<00:14:52.694> they<00:14:52.871> can<00:14:53.031> still<00:14:53.353> win<00:14:53.593> games.

00:14:54.621 --> 00:14:59.375
Um,<00:14:54.878> the<00:14:54.959> defense<00:14:55.360> is<00:14:55.440> playing<00:14:55.745> great<00:14:56.002> though,<00:14:56.163> so,<00:14:56.404> you<00:14:56.500> know,<00:14:56.565> I<00:14:56.645> gotta<00:14:57.127> give<00:14:57.271> them<00:14:57.432> close<00:14:57.705> to<00:14:57.849> an<00:14:57.994> A,<00:14:58.090> but<00:14:58.235> I<00:14:58.251> can't<00:14:58.556> give<00:14:58.636> them<00:14:58.749> a<00:14:58.813> full<00:14:59.038> A<00:14:59.198> yet.

00:15:00.258 --> 00:15:09.782
If<00:15:00.419> we<00:15:01.366> end<00:15:01.527> up<00:15:01.784> in<00:15:01.880> a<00:15:01.945> situation<00:15:02.491> where<00:15:02.603> some<00:15:02.828> of<00:15:02.908> these<00:15:03.149> players<00:15:04.016> that<00:15:04.659> hopped<00:15:04.980> on<00:15:05.960> end<00:15:06.120> up<00:15:06.281> being<00:15:06.666> assets<00:15:07.164> long<00:15:07.485> term,<00:15:08.128> I<00:15:08.272> think<00:15:08.433> we're<00:15:08.513> going<00:15:08.593> to<00:15:08.690> be<00:15:08.770> in<00:15:08.850> a<00:15:08.931> great<00:15:09.172> position,<00:15:09.653> man.

00:15:09.878 --> 00:15:10.954
I'm<00:15:09.975> really<00:15:10.199> excited<00:15:10.617> about<00:15:10.874> it.

00:15:11.018 --> 00:15:13.106
That's,<00:15:11.581> that's<00:15:11.821> the<00:15:11.886> thing<00:15:12.046> I<00:15:12.078> was<00:15:12.287> worried<00:15:12.480> about,<00:15:12.785> right?

00:15:13.251 --> 00:15:22.178

00:16:35.586 --> 00:16:44.824

00:16:47.070 --> 00:16:52.491
He<00:16:47.295> is<00:16:47.391> just<00:16:47.535> trying<00:16:47.696> to<00:16:47.792> go<00:16:47.936> out<00:16:48.113> there,<00:16:49.075> get<00:16:49.299> in<00:16:49.380> front<00:16:49.556> of<00:16:49.588> someone<00:16:50.663> and<00:16:51.401> let<00:16:51.561> the<00:16:51.641> running<00:16:51.882> backs<00:16:52.267> run.

00:16:55.956 --> 00:16:56.629
But<00:16:56.132> guess<00:16:56.437> what?

00:16:56.934 --> 00:16:58.715
Guess<00:16:57.175> who<00:16:57.335> cares<00:16:57.800> the<00:16:57.897> least<00:16:58.217> about<00:16:58.522> that?

00:17:04.216 --> 00:17:08.289
And<00:17:04.473> that<00:17:04.713> just<00:17:04.857> shows<00:17:05.515> how<00:17:05.772> much<00:17:06.221> you<00:17:06.317> can<00:17:06.477> take<00:17:06.734> stars<00:17:07.359> and<00:17:07.439> bring<00:17:07.600> them<00:17:07.760> to<00:17:07.920> a<00:17:08.000> team.

00:17:08.562 --> 00:17:18.552
That's<00:17:08.866> the<00:17:08.947> mark<00:17:09.460> of<00:17:09.540> a<00:17:09.604> winning<00:17:09.925> team<00:17:10.165> is<00:17:10.246> when<00:17:10.390> you<00:17:10.486> can<00:17:10.646> take<00:17:10.951> players<00:17:11.368> who<00:17:11.528> weren't<00:17:12.025> necessarily<00:17:12.907> me-first<00:17:13.597> diva<00:17:13.854> players,<00:17:14.639> but<00:17:14.816> put<00:17:14.976> them<00:17:15.136> in<00:17:15.217> your<00:17:15.441> team<00:17:15.778> and<00:17:15.938> maybe<00:17:16.115> they're<00:17:16.259> not<00:17:16.419> having<00:17:16.804> the<00:17:16.964> big<00:17:17.141> game<00:17:17.782> and<00:17:17.862> they're<00:17:18.103> fine.

00:17:18.728 --> 00:17:26.650

00:17:27.869 --> 00:17:28.398
And<00:17:27.949> guess<00:17:28.206> what?

00:17:29.232 --> 00:17:30.643
Montgomery<00:17:29.617> will<00:17:29.665> be<00:17:29.793> having<00:17:30.050> a<00:17:30.114> great<00:17:30.370> game.
