- 4:10chance to see you at the game, obviously making a round through
- 4:12Lots, how was it pregame? And Than cold.
- 4:16Well, let me tell you something. So yeah, we all know that it was
- 4:21chilly outside but for me because I get asked to go to so
- 4:27many different tailgates and to pop my head in, I walk, the lots
- 4:32and I was warm. And now, it's also because I was
- 4:35walking and I and, you know, I had a couple of those beverages.
- 4:39I mean, I have to show my hospitality and it's rude.
- 4:42I was told to, to decline someone's beverage so So hey,
- 4:46I've gotta you know, indulgent and let them know that I'm a
- 4:50good participant, you know, you invited me.
- 4:53So yes I will partake but it was just probably the crowd the most
- 5:00crowded I've ever seen. The FedEx Field parking lots
- 5:04ever the burgundy and gold. They showed up and don't get me
- 5:09wrong. Yes.
- 5:10The Giants fans were there as well.
- 5:13They did show up and I and I Said that to say because, you
- 5:17know, I had a guy. I said, I said, I really didn't
- 5:20see a giant take over, like, what I'm used to sing the
- 5:24burgundy, and gold really showed up now, maybe it was because the
- 5:27game was flexed, and they just don't want to drive down from
- 5:30Jersey wherever they from New York or whatever have you.
- 5:33But it was a lot of just burgundy and gold in.
- 5:37It, felt good seeing all those people in the parking lot in the
- 5:41stands walking through the stadium.
- 5:43I mean, it was, it was huge, man.
- 5:45An, it was mad and we had easily our most energetic tailgate of
- 5:52the Season, maybe the past five seasons, we had our regular DJ
- 5:56back, he brought in a special DJ from Ibiza.
- 5:59And I'm not talking about the nightclub in downtown d.c.
- 6:02I mean, it was just a good vibe and a lots I had legitimate
- 6:06maybe two, dozen three dozen people reach out to me to say,
- 6:10hey are you still doing that tailgate thing that I haven't
- 6:13heard from in over 15 years, you know?
- 6:16People, I haven't seen since 2012.
- 6:18We're coming out the woodwork coming back to the stadium, and
- 6:21they just wanted to be there. They want to be a part of this
- 6:23people that were telling me if they change the name.
- 6:26I'm out. Well guess what?
- 6:27Names change and I saw your asset FedEx for you so no you're
- 6:31not you know it's just different stuff and it was great to see
- 6:35that ahead of time and I was hoping you know to have that
- 6:39energy carry in into the game. But I've been doing the tailgate
- 6:44for over over 20 years now. I've never missed the kick on
- 6:48ice, not once miss the kickoff. Shut down.
- 6:53We actually brought out the Big Bertha Grill.
- 6:55I've got three flat tops, and then I've got a 6-foot grill
- 7:00that stays in my van that I don't use anymore.
- 7:03It's an old grill that still works.
- 7:05We just don't use it because I've got the flat tops.
- 7:08Well, we wanted to get the cooking done early so we could
- 7:11get inside. So we had, you know, over 12
- 7:15feet a gorilla. Space got all the cooking, dog.
- 7:17Got everything. Packed up took me. 45 minutes to
- 7:21get in the stadium. Why do you live on, Mike sellers
- 7:25to get inside that Stadium? Because if you're a season
- 7:28ticket holder, you have a special Washington gold pass and
- 7:32then that Washington gold lines the lane.
- 7:34Yeah. And they're supposed to be
- 7:35checking those Lanes, it's like a TSA PreCheck, right?
- 7:38Know, not everybody has it, but if we have, yeah, so they're not
- 7:43checking the Washington Gold Line, everyone and their mom
- 7:47from New York to wherever that doesn't have season.
- 7:50Tickets is standing in this line, and everyone's Arguing and
- 7:53screaming at each other when you got season ticket, holders
- 7:55yelling, and screaming, because you got a group of twelve Giants
- 7:58fans saying, well, no one's making me move.
- 8:02Then I get to the front of the line where they're doing
- 8:04security checkpoints and I said, yeah, we were told not to look
- 8:07for Washington goal today. We're told just to get everybody
- 8:10inside the state, so that's how my main game started.
- 8:16That's what kind of really rubs me the wrong way and piss me off
- 8:20because we don't get a lot of perks and season ticket holders
- 8:22we 50% off concessions. So, you know, non-alcoholic
- 8:26concessions which a is great if you want to buy food in the
- 8:28stadium. Yeah.
- 8:29And you know I bought nachos every once in a while we get
- 8:33fast lines in the stadium for food if they're checking half
- 8:36the time, I don't check. And then we get easier access
- 8:40into the stadium, didn't get any of that yesterday.
- 8:43And it's the first time I've ever missed kickoff and man,
- 8:45it's just, you lose money as a season ticket holder.
- 8:48When you buy season tickets, you can get the same amount of game.
- 8:52Ames individually on secondary market and pay a lot less money
- 8:57than you and I do. So that's some of my frustration
- 9:00just to kind of started off and then I get to my seat with maybe
- 9:04five minutes left in the first quarter.
- 9:06Mike, you got? I mean that was just it was such
- 9:08a cool with five minutes left in the first quarter.
- 9:11Yeah man, took me 45 minutes to get through that line god dog.
- 9:15So people have their cell phones up.
- 9:17So all of us standing in line and could watch and I was
- 9:19listening on the radio and I'm just so, Pissed off at that
- 9:23point. And then I'm going through the
- 9:24metal detector line. And then I got a guy saying, hey
- 9:28you idiot, take your keys out of your pocket which was security
- 9:31guard that work there like it says on the sign to you can keep
- 9:36your keys in your pocket and the fact that the guy called me an
- 9:39idiot. At that point, I was just angry
- 9:42and that didn't sit well with me.
- 9:44So, he and I were going back and forth to the point of his
- 9:46supervisor came over and calm him down the situation down, but
- 9:51I wasn't having it. At that point.
- 9:53I was I was just done, William S, so by the time I actually got
- 9:57to my state, I wish that the team would have put me in on
- 10:01defense, so I could have actually done something to stop
- 10:03the Giants because I was ready to rip someone's head off, man.
- 10:06I don't know about you starting linebacker tip, I would have
- 10:13deal without in Jammin. Dodger, did I John Bostick?
- 10:16I'll tell you that right now. All right, oh, man, But what was
- 10:23it like in your section? I'm assuming you got in the game
- 10:26earlier. Obviously, you know, I don't
- 10:28know if you had any other problems and I had trying to get
- 10:30in and yes, I get it. There was 80 thousand people
- 10:33there. How many thousand people there?
- 10:35The other day? The police was asked you, I just
- 10:38asked you did you get a final count and you said 80 but that's
- 10:40you're just throwing it out. I'm just sold it out to actually
- 10:42the official capacity now or 67,000, okay.
- 10:47And looking in the stands, it looked packed.
- 10:50So I would almost say is like, maybe 60 60 to 62.
- 10:55I'd say because I did see that the upper deck they had us some
- 10:58some, some yellow and red and then I saw it in club, they had
- 11:03a couple openings, but for the most part, every seat seem to be
- 11:08taken. So, I really enjoyed that man.
- 11:11You know, we put the call out, obviously Jonathan Allen.
- 11:14Put the call out, and, and the organization for the call out,
- 11:17and people came out and be, and why?
- 11:19Because this was an important game now, will we See them for
- 11:23the Browns, probably not. But they can only say that they
- 11:28came to see the most important game, even though it may have
- 11:32been a, let down to everybody. It was an important game for the
- 11:38fans. Yeah, I just didn't feel like it
- 11:40was an important game for the team and I'll say that because I
- 11:46just saw treat from the Giants and I'll talk to you in a
- 11:49minute. It felt like when the Seahawks
- 11:52lost and Washington knew that they were going to be the
- 11:57seventh seed or the 6 seed, no matter what it felt to me like
- 12:03the sense of urgency completely went away from the team that
- 12:07they weren't playing to win the game.
- 12:10And we talked about this earlier on our preview show, I needed
- 12:15River Beltran to be River Beltran and the way he called
- 12:21that game and he is All players, but the way he coached that game
- 12:26game, I felt like they were playing scared and I made it in
- 12:31time too. Well, actually I missed this
- 12:33part so I watched this on the replay.
- 12:36So it was, what was it fourth? And ten.
- 12:42Fourth and 12 from the 34 yard line, right?
- 12:44In the first quarter, Rivera opted to punt versus kick, a
- 12:50field goal at that point, I would have been a 51-yard.
- 12:52Field goal. All right.
- 12:55The Giants, caught the ball at the 5 or the seven regardless
- 13:00and they ran it back to the 30. We're on the 34.
- 13:04Yeah. So it was a four yard or change
- 13:07a field in that something. And he didn't trust Joey slide
- 13:12because apparently he didn't think he had the leg to do it
- 13:16where Joey later on the game, hit a 51-yard.
- 13:20So I was going to say that I like to get in a little early
- 13:25And shout-out to the gogo bands that played in Legends.
- 13:30Oh, it was a great great at the concert, you see burning their
- 13:33concert. Yeah.
- 13:34Say again, you see burden Davis, the W.
- 13:36Heck, yeah, I saw Vernon, bounce bounce bounce.
- 13:39Bounce didn't necessarily like the song, but at the same time,
- 13:42I'm here to support. So, I mean, that's just how it
- 13:44is. I mean, a lot of people don't
- 13:46like, left hand up, but they're there to support local artists.
- 13:51So I like to get in early and just get a feel for what?
- 13:54The punters? The kicker's or what are they
- 13:55doing during warm-ups? And I saw him hit from practice.
- 14:00He from both ends from sticking to the the west side, back to
- 14:06the east side of the spans. And I was saying I saw him
- 14:11making these, what are we doing? And so I just was weirded out,
- 14:15man. But, but it goes something that
- 14:16I said, did, you know, early on. I said, man, I just don't like
- 14:21these Giants, man. I mean, they're the ones who I
- 14:24whoo-hoo. I just feel as though no matter
- 14:26what are going to give us the most problems and here we are,
- 14:29they gave us the most problems. I mean I need to be Nostradamus
- 14:32or something man, I really do. Well we talked about earlier
- 14:36that these Giants. It's not going to be an easy
- 14:38game and then no pushover. And right, I hate to say it.
- 14:41I won my bet that I put in at Caesars sports book the other
- 14:44day because it took the Giants plus four and a half, but still
- 14:47pisses me off. I just I thought we were going
- 14:49to win the game. I didn't think we were going to
- 14:51cover the game. When we gave our stores and
- 14:53predictions, we I'll have them not covering four and a half
- 14:57point spread least, that's what I got it at.
- 14:59It was just frustrating and hearing that.
- 15:02You saw Joey make these kicks, not surprised.
- 15:06It sounds like Rivera was lying to us, again, this is actually
- 15:08what coach said about it coach early on, in the game, the
- 15:12decision to go for the punt and short yardage situation.
- 15:14Can you kind of describe the thought?
- 15:16Well, we got him. We got him pinned.
- 15:17You know, we figured from where we were, we were going to get
- 15:20him pinned. Ron, you said you want to get
- 15:22them pinned on that fourth down was or something with the wind
- 15:24or anything like that. With the conditions, what we
- 15:26thought the ball would hang up and we'd be able to get the
- 15:28coverage down there and get into position.
- 15:30You know, earlier in the game. We did the same thing, but trust
- 15:33kick a little bit short and they, you know, they popped it
- 15:36for about 20 yards in a return, but we thought would get this.
- 15:39The, the second one, we would be able to get it pinned, into the
- 15:42into that corner. With the first one.
- 15:44I guess it was the fourth down. Did you did you think consider
- 15:46going for a field goal on that one?
- 15:48Oh, The Very Yes. And very first thing.
- 15:49No, because of the Winds and because of watching, Joey kick
- 15:54and the same thing when we We came out in the second half
- 15:56watching, Joey kick. You know, we were a little
- 15:58concerned about that ball. Coming up short.
- 16:03I just, I don't get it, man. It's to me, it's a playoff game.
- 16:09You win this thing, your 90 plus percent of making the
- 16:12postseason. Yeah, he just didn't coach to
- 16:17win the game. And to me, it was coaching
- 16:20scared, and you have two weeks to make this game plan.
- 16:25You have two weeks to prepare for the Giants, and you just
- 16:29played them two weeks prior. And you tied, I just I don't
- 16:33know what the game plan was and what they wanted to do and I
- 16:39know you haven't had a chance to go back and watch the game, but
- 16:42I went back and watched the game and I didn't realize some of the
- 16:46stats for the game. I didn't realize it.
- 16:49Brian Robinson was averaging over seven yards, a carry.
- 16:54You know, why would you take the ball out of that young man's
- 16:59hands when he's having over seven yards, a carry?
- 17:02And I'm stuck in traffic, I mentioned earlier.
- 17:04So I decided to call in to Doc Walker and linell.
- 17:07I want to 67 and fan and chat with Doc.
- 17:11And, you know, it felt to me like Scott Turner was
- 17:16auditioning. His offense for a head coaching
- 17:20job someplace else you think? Cuz that's what it felt.
- 17:24Felt like because when you have Brian Robinson, 12 carries for
- 17:2889 yards 12 carries, that's it with a seven point four yard
- 17:32average, Antonio Gibson 5 for 21 yards with a 4.2 yard average,
- 17:38so your two running backs. Only carry the ball 17 times.
- 17:43Those 17 times, gets you over 100 yards.
- 17:48Why do you go away from that? And okay, you're down 14 to 3 at
- 17:53halftime, but You're still within scoring range of these
- 17:57guys, they're not blowing you out.
- 18:00Yeah, and I don't understand why you take what this team is best
- 18:04at and completely throw it out the window.
- 18:07We talked about it heinicke, drops back for more than 27 28
- 18:12attempts odds. Are we're losing that game and
- 18:16Julia Donaldson stat. She's come up with.
- 18:19If Brian Robinson, carries a ball more than 15 times, we're
- 18:23five an hour. You only gave it to him 12
- 18:26times, you know, it's those things that just frustrated me
- 18:30watching it live and then re watching the game this
- 18:32afternoon, like, man, that he was eating him up.
- 18:36Be Rob was just laying the wood on anyone that wanted to touch
- 18:40him. And it's like a boxing match,
- 18:43man. You hit him with the body blows
- 18:45and then we hit him after the fact with okeydoke.
- 18:47It just, it drove me insane, man.
- 18:49And I just, I don't understand what we did during the by weeks,
- 18:54but pair for these guys. They always say that a lot of
- 19:00times teams that come back from the by, or weaker than stronger
- 19:04because of the cohesiveness is just a little off.
- 19:08No different than the guy who have the first round.
- 19:10Bye in the playoffs, you know, the times that team will lose
- 19:14because they just haven't kept it going.
- 19:17So maybe it was too much time off.
- 19:19Who knows? I don't know.
- 19:20But I have to agree with you. They seemed not all there.
- 19:26And like you said, they had two weeks to prepare.
- 19:31And what I saw was basically the same thing that I saw up in New
- 19:34York. I mean, it was, it was almost
- 19:37Deja Vu, there was in speaking of deja, vu.
- 19:40I mean Thibodeau, just made up Charles 10, you know, on that
- 19:44strip. Sack Leno was one-on-one against
- 19:48Thibodeau, right? We had a holding call on
- 19:50Cornelius. Lucas, drove us back.
- 19:53So, it was second and 18 from our 10 yard line.
- 19:56If I think Scott Turner has a clause in his contract where he
- 20:00has to call an empty set, at least a half a dozen times to
- 20:06completely screw us up. Because it's second and 18 at
- 20:08the 10 Thibodeau, is his licking, his chops and there's
- 20:13no back to chip him. There's no tight end to hit them
- 20:17and then release letõs, just one-on-one.
- 20:21And you talked about Déjà Vu. We saw what happened in New
- 20:24York, Ali in that same situation, right it over time.
- 20:29We're heinicke, got hit. Luckily, he didn't actually
- 20:32humble the ball, but this time hiding, he got hit.
- 20:35I mean, I the who I don't remember who was calling the TV
- 20:38call, but they said Thibodeau hit a grand slam.
- 20:41He had the sack, he had the strip, fumble and a touchdown
- 20:45right there and this was actually what heinicke said on
- 20:49the Strip defense played amazing.
- 20:53I really, I really think the turning point that game.
- 20:56The biggest play that game. Is this a fumble for a
- 20:58touchdown? The first half.
- 21:01That doesn't happen. Our defense is playing.
- 21:04Well, that's that's tough one. Empty, they didn't bring a
- 21:14pressure. So I feel like I was protected
- 21:17it was you know it five offensive lineman for for looked
- 21:20at my first tree, they jumped it and took a second Pitch to throw
- 21:24the ball to the debates on. On a corner out.
- 21:27And, you know, when I was getting ready to release it, I
- 21:31got hit. Five Guys to block or guys were
- 21:36rushing, but that fourth guy counts, as three Thibodeau is no
- 21:41joke and he ate us up all night long and yeah.
- 21:46Brian Mitchell talk again here. Oh yeah.
- 21:49Both times and be mixed talks about how coach Gibbs and his
- 21:54staff would game plan all week long and if it didn't work the
- 21:58first quarter, they'd throw it out and completely start from
- 22:01scratch and come up with something new on the Fly.
- 22:04I don't feel the Scott Turner has the capability or ability to
- 22:09do that at all because how many times on third down where we and
- 22:13empty sets, and the Giants took advantage of that and their head
- 22:19coach. Their defense coordinator loves
- 22:21to bless. That's all the guy does.
- 22:24And there were a couple times when Leno was overloaded on his
- 22:27side. They brought three and they got
- 22:30the Taylor Taylor was only sack for three times, but But he was
- 22:34hurried how many times and it just, yeah.
- 22:38Man, I could just I don't understand what we were trying
- 22:42to do yesterday last night. Do you think he needs to get to
- 22:45his reads faster or you just no matter who was back there, they
- 22:48wouldn't have enough time. I think no matter who was back
- 22:51there, he would have had enough time because the Giants were
- 22:54playing off on his own, and he talked about, they jammed his
- 22:58first read, and then your second read with John Bates.
- 23:02I'm sorry. John Bates does not scare me to
- 23:05really be able to do anything. So, there were just you got to
- 23:10give him a little more time to get those balls out.
- 23:14And we talked last time, how cool he said that they were in
- 23:17matched vertex, 70% of the time. Well, they're not going Mass
- 23:20protect on third down and I was watching the postgame show this
- 23:24morning because they're replaying it.
- 23:25I didn't realize this stat guess when we converted our first
- 23:31third down, When? Fourteen minutes and 17 seconds
- 23:38in the fourth quarter. What the fourth quarter was.
- 23:45The first time we got a third down, we were 14 10 on third
- 23:50down. Can't win like that.
- 23:54No, it. It's just it's something we have
- 23:56constantly talked about on this show in it drives.
- 23:59Me crazy is okay. The Flea Flicker.
- 24:04Why in the hell did Scott Turner decide to call a Flea?
- 24:08Flicker at second and three because you think you're going
- 24:13to be able to convert that. And I'm sorry on the Flea
- 24:18Flicker, whoever the killer threw it to, I want to say it
- 24:20was the Ami was Danny Brown was Triple covered or double covered
- 24:24double. Yeah, so that's a me.
- 24:26Someone else should be open, but he decides that Chuck it up
- 24:29there. The first thing, why are you
- 24:31trying to get cute? Why are you calling a
- 24:33flea-flicker right there? I think we were maybe in our 35
- 24:36somewhere around there. We were in our territory, not
- 24:38theirs. I just, I don't get it.
- 24:41But then after that, it's third and three, and you decide to
- 24:45give the ball to Curtis Samuel out of shotgun and Curtis gets
- 24:49to yards, give it to your Bruiser.
- 24:53You don't feed be robbed at that point.
- 24:55It's still early in the game and he's still fighting for those
- 24:58are be rocking. Get three yards with 12 men on
- 25:01the box. But you decide to be cute and
- 25:04give it to curse, he'll drag the hell out of them.
- 25:08It's just the coaching. The game plan.
- 25:13Everything from an offensive perspective.
- 25:16Drove me crazy. Yes, the Giants scored 20
- 25:18points, but the defense held them to 13, you know, you that
- 25:23Thibodeau talks down. It was what it was.
- 25:25If your defense holds an opponent to 13 points, you hope
- 25:28your offense can score more than 12 and they did it.
- 25:32It's just so upsetting. And everyone is yelling and
- 25:35screaming about the referees today and And we'll talk about
- 25:38that in a little bit, but to me, that's not why we lost the game.
- 25:44We got outcoached. Yeah, they made plays when they
- 25:49needed to make plays and and I tell you.
- 25:53So what was pivotal for me, was when it was fourth and nine and
- 26:01I said to the guy that was sitting next to me.
- 26:05I said, are they gonna go over this?
- 26:07I said, oh, if they go for The level of disrespect is just
- 26:09through the roof and sure enough, so they didn't fear us.
- 26:14No, no team almost. There's there was no reason for
- 26:18them to go forth and nine unless you just want.
- 26:22Well, I take that back there was a reason for them to do it to
- 26:24keep them into the momentum going, and keep their offense on
- 26:27the field for potentially having us.
- 26:29Get the ball back and scoring there.
- 26:32But still, I think they were in Their own their own on their
- 26:38side of the field. They weren't for that 9.
- 26:41And I said there was a fourth and nine on Washington's 24 and
- 26:47they threw it. It was to ch1 actually.
- 26:51I was 10:18 it was still 723 if that point.
- 26:57Yeah. And it was right before the
- 26:59two-minute warning, so there was 223 left in the game on 24.
- 27:05Then they should have kicked a field goal.
- 27:06There, you're talking a 24 that's a 41-yard, kick, they
- 27:10went for it, got the first down through the 11 yards right on
- 27:13Bobby McCain. You know it's just they were
- 27:15picking us apart all game long and The defensive game plan was
- 27:22better because Daniel Jones didn't run all overalls.
- 27:26He was 12 carries for 71 yards. The first game this game, he was
- 27:3110 carries for 35 yard, so they obviously wanted to make a point
- 27:35of let, Daniel Jones beat you with his arm.
- 27:38Don't beat you with his legs. This time Jones was 21 and 32
- 27:42for 160 yards. He didn't put up a ton of yards.
- 27:46The Giants offense in general, didn't put up a ton of your
- 27:49Guards, the defense did their job, your offense, just did it,
- 27:54but it was just straight disrespect from a Giant's
- 27:58perspective where they felt that they could do whatever they
- 28:01wanted to even though the stats don't show it, they did really
- 28:05whatever they wanted to that game.
- 28:08I mean their swag was on 100, bro.
- 28:11Oh yeah, I mean total yards. Giants had 160 yards passing.
- 28:16They had 288 yards total So it's not a Time.
- 28:21The commander has had three hundred eighty seven yards total
- 28:24387. I mean, how can you have three
- 28:27hundred eighty seven yards total and you're beating them by 100
- 28:31yards and you only put up 12 points and it's just, it's
- 28:34because of this freaking offense, that drives me crazy.
- 28:38And Rivera just has press conference and during his press
- 28:42conference and try to see if I can pull the quote up here.
- 28:45You know, I'm wondering myself. Are we going to get a chance to
- 28:49see? See.
- 28:50Carson. Because did you see during the
- 28:53game? Every TV timeout.
- 28:55Oh yeah, every change of possession and Carson's out
- 28:58there warming up with heinicke, throwing the ball pregame, I saw
- 29:04it man pregame Carson was on like ten.
- 29:10I mean, he normally, you know, you respect the quarterback to
- 29:14do it would Taylor was doing and okay, I'll catch the ball and
- 29:18I'll do some nice form throw. To the war, my arm up.
- 29:22Now Carson was like, oh I'm gonna, I'm Gonna Roll out.
- 29:26I'm realizing my right and throw it hard.
- 29:28I'm going to roll to my left and throw it hard even harder.
- 29:32It was, I said, I said, wait a minute, what is this dude doing?
- 29:36So I thought that was kind of strange.
- 29:40Maybe he was trying to let the coach seated.
- 29:43Hey, I'm mobile. I'm ready?
- 29:45I can put some zip on it. There were a couple of times
- 29:49when he because Taylor stays in the same spot and doesn't move
- 29:53when he's about to go in, he's just throwing the ball to
- 29:56whatever receivers catching on the other end, Carson was
- 30:00backing up 10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards, and throwing bombs
- 30:05back. He wasn't just sitting there
- 30:06doing the whole, okay? Let me just pitch and catch with
- 30:09you, so he was definitely line it up and trying to prove.
- 30:13Hey, Scott, Turner, I know you're up there, watch this,
- 30:17check me out. Let me drop this one in here.
- 30:19And I mean, At a certain point I'm thinking we got to put
- 30:23Carson in for is not working right now.
- 30:26He's just having an issue in this offense is having a problem
- 30:29in. I was hoping it was going to
- 30:31happen but then after halftime hide-a-key had his helmet on and
- 30:35Carson's just coming out of there like I throw the ball,
- 30:38that's fine. What did you want Carson to come
- 30:41out or is that just me? Well, you know that I've always
- 30:46told you I want whoever is going to be better for the team and we
- 30:52talked about it on the preview show where I said, hey if he's
- 30:57jacking it up, bring Carson out and maybe put heinicke, keep
- 31:02both of them on the field or some type of other type of play
- 31:05just to get Carson. The the moves in the of the
- 31:10game, get back up to speed and I think that you probably could
- 31:14see that even though you said you wouldn't want to see it.
- 31:18I think that that there's something is said, it's like
- 31:20when Daniel Jones and say Quan went to the Wildcat and it was a
- 31:24direct snap, you know, we weren't expecting that and he
- 31:28ran it in for a touchdown that was in my end zone because when
- 31:32he, when he got back into the quarterback position, and Daniel
- 31:35Jones was a DJ was the Was it running back?
- 31:39I was like, wait a minute. What kind of nonsense is this?
- 31:42So I know as a fan. I'm scratching my head.
- 31:45Those guys on all fours in a four point stance was like okay,
- 31:50who do we key on or this is a trick place.
- 31:52Going to go to DJ. Nope, say Quan ran it right up
- 31:56our gut into the end zone. See, I'm not surprised about
- 32:00that though, because they've done that before.
- 32:03It's like and for those that didn't hear our last show, rally
- 32:07wanted car. And Ann Taylor in at the same
- 32:10time, one that can't move and the other that Scott, you know,
- 32:14Skittles for an arm in there, wasting space, the thing that
- 32:18drove me crazy is, it's the first half and Taylor was 7 for
- 32:2213 and only have 43 yards, right?
- 32:25His average yards per pass was 2.9.
- 32:30Less than three yards per pass. I mean, he's just Alex Smith was
- 32:36Captain shut down. You know what the hell is
- 32:39Taylor? Yeah, two point nine yards.
- 32:41Average per pass. Well, he's Corporal.
- 32:44Check that it. Balances camping checked, I
- 32:47just, I mean, no, And then you've got fans and you got
- 32:52people saying, well, we don't want to see Carson against this
- 32:55pass rush against the 49ers. And yeah, we're skipping ahead a
- 32:58couple of days. I am just tired of a heinicke
- 33:02experiment and I was hoping that Rivera was going to potentially
- 33:06talk about a change while David Aldridge asked Rivera Ron, do
- 33:10you consider a quarterback change?
- 33:13Andy, did you give do you give any thought to a change?
- 33:16Your quarterback for next week? No, no.
- 33:18David. I think the biggest thing more
- 33:20anything else is, you know, sticking with with Taylor and
- 33:23what we're trying to establish, you know?
- 33:25And it is something though, that obviously is talked about,
- 33:29obviously, Out there and it is something that, you know, to be
- 33:32quite Frank as I do have to think about at some point.
- 33:36But if we can continue to if we get back on track and play, the
- 33:39way we played and do things that we've done, you know, then we'll
- 33:43stick with where we are until then, you know, I will I will do
- 33:46that. Well, I'll say this on a good
- 33:51note. I couldn't believe how far he
- 33:54threw the ball. Downfield this disk last game I
- 33:58I said hey who do that? But I Little Island legitimately
- 34:02said who threw that ball because I did not expect him to be able
- 34:07to throw the ball that far. When he's got an arm to throw
- 34:12deep, he doesn't have an arm to hit those tight window, Thrones,
- 34:17those deep outs, those other Thrones.
- 34:20But I mean lob in the thing up there, he overthrew Diaw me on
- 34:25one of those players, you know, the Ami was off.
- 34:27I mean, I think if he were thrown to Terry in that
- 34:29instance, Terry would have called out to her, but the Army
- 34:32wasn't able to get there. But when I say he's got skills
- 34:35for an arm, I'm talking about those deep outs that those you
- 34:39Need to have zip on that ball or else odb's going to break on
- 34:43that thing for a pick six and a couple of those times.
- 34:49I felt like he thought it was. You remember that old MTV like
- 34:53sports show where they do like rock and jock baseball and rock
- 34:56and jock like basketball. There's like a 25-point circle.
- 35:00Would opened up with a minute left in the game so you gives
- 35:03you a chance to come back. I felt like heinicke was going
- 35:07for that 12 point play. We're there obviously isn't one,
- 35:12but he was going deep at times where he had Curtis, you know,
- 35:17across the middle or he had Antonio leaking out, but he was
- 35:20trying to go for that home run ball and it just it wasn't
- 35:24there. Each time he threw a deep.
- 35:26There was at least two if not three Defenders on our wide
- 35:30receiver each time the only time that wasn't was when he threw
- 35:34its adoption over the top and Dodson had that amazing catch.
- 35:38But just Johnson was 101? Yeah he wasn't a double trouble
- 35:43at that point. So when you say that, did you
- 35:48see that live? Or is that something that you
- 35:50went back and reviewed it? No, I saw that live.
- 35:55Yeah. And I'm these just watch it
- 35:57because where I am on the field, I am more like 35 yard line home
- 36:03ends at home. Sideline right there and there a
- 36:06couple times because when he was chucking it deep, he was
- 36:08chucking it. Deep towards my side or the
- 36:10field away from you. And you can see the underneath
- 36:14routes open, he was just missing them.
- 36:17And I felt like he was reversing his progressions.
- 36:21His progressions were going deep to shallow.
- 36:23A low versus shallow to deep, maybe, because he read his stats
- 36:27at halftime saying I'm only throwing two point, nine yards
- 36:29per pass, but he wasn't completing his passes because
- 36:33they just weren't there. So, it was just frustrating.
- 36:37But one good thing that he was doing was we talked about it?
- 36:42Is he going to start using his legs?
- 36:44And he finally did. It was the Taylor of old that we
- 36:48were used to. He was three carries for 33
- 36:50yards and he had his longest 4:15 He was a threat to run the
- 36:55ball so that was nice to see and there were a couple times where
- 36:59Taylor two weeks ago would scramble and then still try and
- 37:04throw the ball. Whereas this time, I think on a
- 37:0615 yard run, he ran to the out and actually ended up holding
- 37:09and tucking in rags. I'm thinking, please don't
- 37:11throw, please don't throw and thank God, you know, Jedi mind,
- 37:15trick works, and he decided to run that thing because, but why
- 37:20we went away from it, man? I'm just Yeah, no, it's
- 37:26frustrating. It's frustrating, bro.
- 37:28And maybe he is a auditioning for a another job HC type stuff,
- 37:35but until we know, let's not speculate.
- 37:41Oh yeah, I mean, he just got an extension here.
- 37:43Rivera extended him for no reason.
- 37:46That's the other part that drives me.
- 37:47Freaking insane because coaching contracts are guaranteed.
- 37:52So you just, Extended Scott Turner so we can't get rid of
- 37:55his ass. He's going to be here, he's not
- 37:57going anywhere and Scott calls us out of games.
- 38:03He has had one good gameplay on this entire season, which was
- 38:07the Eagles game on Monday night, you would think he would have
- 38:09stepped it up again this one. I just who do you blame for this
- 38:17loss? We haven't lost since November
- 38:196th. So maybe we're a little spoiled
- 38:22because it's been a while. I think that was the Vikings
- 38:25game where's but who do you give credit sue for this loss.
- 38:30I give credit for the loss to the defense bro.
- 38:34Really salty. But ultimately they have to stop
- 38:38the stop the team from from it scoring and And that fourth and
- 38:43nine. I'm not gonna blame the rest.
- 38:45See some this ain't going to be rally.
- 38:47Captain blame the wrist. They had their little issue into
- 38:50it but to me fourth and nine for the nine, dude, you gotta stop
- 38:56that. Yeah.
- 38:57And we were I don't know what type of coverage we were playing
- 39:01but it wasn't, it wasn't, it was a Pressman and so he's just
- 39:07picking us apart. So I gotta I gotta go.
- 39:12Can't be a guy that's is coordinator either.
- 39:15The play comes in. You've got to execute regardless
- 39:18on how busted you feel it. Maybe you've got to execute, you
- 39:23get paid money to execute and I think the defense is the one
- 39:30that let us down even though they did hold him to 20 points.
- 39:35Well, 13 points. I mean to the point can't blame
- 39:37seven on them so they're not 7 was on.
- 39:41Hi Nikki. I should know that seven was on
- 39:43Charles Leto and Scott Turner, not on heinicke, because there
- 39:46was nothing Taylor could do at that point.
- 39:48He's in the right there, rushing for people.
- 39:50You got to hope your five guys can block for, but he didn't
- 39:53feel that pressure. And once he hit his back foot,
- 39:57he should have got rid of it, he just did.
- 39:58But see it's hard for me to blame this on the defense.
- 40:02I mean, I understand that Daniel Jones wreak havoc at that point
- 40:08in the first matchup. So, round two, they wanted to
- 40:12make A concerted effort to slow him down and it felt like let's
- 40:16see how many sacks that we have on DJ.
- 40:20I think how many sacks did you get yesterday?
- 40:24How many sacks did I get ya? Well if we're not talking about
- 40:28White Castle's, I didn't get any sacks.
- 40:31Yeah well neither did our defense and zero sacks and see
- 40:35that's what I'm saying man. I mean whether whether it was
- 40:40the bye week, that just kind of made him feel more comfortable,
- 40:44whether it was press clippings, whoa, whether who do whatever it
- 40:48was, okay, whatever it was, ultimately your A job is to stop
- 40:53them from scoring who was it? That said, hey you want me
- 40:56dancing in the end zone? Then stop me from scoring and I
- 40:59won't be able to dance in the end zone.
- 41:00Don't be mad at me but dancing is I'm celebrating.
- 41:03Stop the man from scoring so that's that's ultimately what it
- 41:06boils down to. So see how you like the game
- 41:12plan from the defensive line perspective was to hold your
- 41:17gaps and don't rush Daniel. And give him Lanes to step up in
- 41:24and take advantage of. I feel like we weren't attacking
- 41:28him like we should have or like they did the first time prior
- 41:33because he found those Lanes when our guys didn't rush for as
- 41:37one. And then he just took advantage
- 41:40of what his legs. And this time he was just
- 41:42getting 7-yard passes here and there on first down I felt like
- 41:46every time and it was obvious they were picking on Danny
- 41:49Johnson so every time it was first down Danny Johnson,
- 41:52one-on-one, boom, curl route, right in front of them.
- 41:55You know, and we just did not adjust but it's hard for me to
- 42:00blame the defense but this is actually what our listener
- 42:03carnivore Steve. Who he blamed for the loss.
- 42:08Dougie Ted, this is Steve Captain carnivore Conover.
- 42:12And my Blaine pie goes 50% Scott Turner for going empty, and not
- 42:18at least chipping. Number 5 and leaving Taylor
- 42:23heinicke. Open on The Blind Side.
- 42:25Several times. 25% to Taylor heinicke for not taking care of
- 42:31the football. And 25% to the referees for
- 42:37several egregious calls and non calls.
- 42:40Thanks, brother. Now, we appreciate you calling
- 42:45in Steve and listening and supporting the show, man.
- 42:47Definitely in, I'm not sure if I agree with the percentage of
- 42:53that but we also have Kevin for Rockville, texted in Kevin said,
- 42:59I blame Taylor heinicke and the offensive line they moved the
- 43:04ball. Well, but once it got close to
- 43:06the Red Zone, we fell apart. It was a very wonderful game if
- 43:09they had any average, but if they had an average performance,
- 43:13the It was all right, would have liked to stop on those long
- 43:16drives drives but they ultimately only gave up 13
- 43:19points. So okay, see here.
- 43:24Once again I'm telling you why I'm saying defense.
- 43:27No, I hear you. I get the ball in the 4-yard
- 43:30line. Therefore your line and they
- 43:31drive down 97 yards. I mean it was a 97 yard
- 43:36touchdown drive, you know, it's and then and then after that, it
- 43:39became the SE Kwang Berkeley show.
- 43:42We got to stop it and we couldn't stop it.
- 43:45So so you know, a team is going to score touchdown here.
- 43:49There, I got it. But the thing is, is how did
- 43:54they score? How did they move the ball?
- 43:57And everything that we touted about or for which don't get me
- 44:03wrong. We've got an awesome front for.
- 44:05I love those dudes, but they're human too.
- 44:09So the defense to me, let us down and that's why I said that
- 44:13and we had a lot of five-man defensive line sets round 1,
- 44:19round 2. We went away from that, and I
- 44:21don't know if you notice when say Quan was gassing Us in the
- 44:23fourth quarter, they brought John Ridgeway yet.
- 44:26Stop it and Ridgeway actually first play in there, wearing
- 44:31red, Which Way Ridge wages bear hug them, stop sake, one right
- 44:34there. So, I mean, it's slow down the
- 44:36running attack, but the defense did not seem to make adjustments
- 44:41and then the Giants didn't make any on their side because they
- 44:44didn't need to, you know, for us.
- 44:48I mean, everyone knows if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- 44:51Well, it wasn't broke with Brian Robinson, but Scott Turner like
- 44:55to try and fix it. The Giants on the other hand
- 44:58actually do what you're suppose to do, it wouldn't work for
- 45:02them. So I just kept taking advantage
- 45:03of us. So the lack of defensive
- 45:06adjustments, I'll give you that. I do blame.
- 45:10If I had to give a percentage, I'll say maybe 20% of my blame
- 45:16pie goes to Del Rio, not making adjustments, Danny Johnson on an
- 45:20island, and getting picked apart, and missing Benjamin st.
- 45:24Juste, these past two games. Ames has been massive two or
- 45:29three three. Right.
- 45:31Well, I mean, just two games versus Giants.
- 45:33Okay, I guess so I got you know not having bsj for the first
- 45:37time in the Meadowlands and not having him this time.
- 45:40Huge they picked on Christian homes.
- 45:43Last time to the point of homes, got benched, Danny Johnson, came
- 45:46in. Danny had a better game when he
- 45:48came in and relief, Danny started this game because B SJ
- 45:52wasn't there. He didn't have a good game.
- 45:54He got picked on. I don't know how many passes he
- 45:57But every time it was first down, I felt like it was second
- 46:00and 3 and 0, who was on The Tackle, Danny Johnson, Danny
- 46:03Johnson. It's just, he was just getting
- 46:05beat up constantly and Rivera, not not Rivera, but the real not
- 46:09making any adjustments. Drove me crazy, but I just Mi
- 46:13Pais, I want to say 70%, goes to Scott Turner.
- 46:19Oh, he called a bad game. I just I don't see any other way
- 46:25around it. When You've got a stud like
- 46:28Brian Robinson. Junior getting seven point four
- 46:32yards, a carry when you have a beat-up offensive line and all
- 46:37you're doing is making them pass block versus run block.
- 46:42I don't get that offensive line and hate the past fly.
- 46:46I played left tackle absolutely hated pass blocking.
- 46:49I wasn't that good at it? I can run block my ass off, but
- 46:53the fact that Brian Robinson only had 24 snaps, he was in on
- 46:5838% of the offensive players. Why are you taking the ball out
- 47:03that young man's hands got Turner?
- 47:05You don't even have them on the field?
- 47:07It's not that high. Like he wasn't giving it to him,
- 47:09he wasn't actually on the dam failed.
- 47:11Well, if I'm not mistaken, I do remember him, calling himself
- 47:17out II. Remember a couple plays, he
- 47:19called himself out and they wanted and matter of fact, if I
- 47:22remember correctly, they wanted him to stay and no, he waved
- 47:26himself out. So I'm not sure what was going
- 47:28on with that. Did you see that?
- 47:30It wasn't? There was all the 19 yard run.
- 47:33So on the one 19 yard run, he called himself out because I
- 47:37don't know if he was gassed. Yeah.
- 47:38And what if that point, but You know, I was talking to Doc
- 47:42Walker linell about this last night and they're harping on it.
- 47:46The last drive down the field. Scroll through the stats now
- 47:52here. So heinicke, hits, Curtis Samuel
- 47:55down the left sideline or down the right, sideline depending
- 47:57where you're looking at it 30 yards.
- 47:59Then next thing you know, trying to pull this up.
- 48:02Where is this Brian Robinson ended up having a carry?
- 48:08I want to say for 18 or 19 yards and in didn't come back in the
- 48:13game. Be Rob got us down.
- 48:16Why can't I find this? I'm sorry.
- 48:19For those of you that are wondering why I'm stalling here,
- 48:22but I Robinson got us down. Regardless I want to say to
- 48:28within a couple of yard line and then he never came back in the
- 48:31game and I just I don't get why they didn't give him the ball
- 48:37back, why they didn't get him a chance to actually finish that
- 48:40thing off off. Those who listen Stan get to
- 48:43say, well be Rob was in on that touchdown.
- 48:45So okay, yeah, well the touchdown didn't count because
- 48:49Terry McLaren wasn't lined up properly and everyone's throwing
- 48:53a fit about that and the referees Yes.
- 48:57I don't have a problem with the call on Terry.
- 48:59If Terry wasn't where he was supposed to be Nikki Giovanni
- 49:02Allah and for those of you listening, we're also going to
- 49:04have this on YouTube, Nikki Giovanni put up a video.
- 49:08Terry said that the refs are he was good.
- 49:10If you look at the video The Ref points down to the line, doesn't
- 49:15actually give Terry a thumbs up or anything and you also have a
- 49:18bunch of fans yelling and screaming at that point.
- 49:20So who knows what Terry actually heard or what the rough said.
- 49:25But the fact is Terry wasn't exactly where he should have
- 49:30been. She's a, and he couldn't move
- 49:33again because another wide receiver one in motion.
- 49:38You cannot have two people in motion at the same time or else.
- 49:41That's an offensive pillory. So he was damned if he did.
- 49:44He was damned if he did it at that point.
- 49:47But be Mitch was talking about this today on his show.
- 49:50What's with all the motion you're at the 2-yard line.
- 49:54No, who are you? Fooling, give the ball to be
- 49:57robbed and I'm just punch you in the mouth.
- 49:59Yeah. Because the guy who your
- 50:01motioning for that safety, or that corner is trying to travel
- 50:05or DVDs trying to travel. You know he's not being affected
- 50:08by this play anyway. No just line up around the damn
- 50:10ball. The pitch you want to run but
- 50:12they're trying to confuse people thinking it's going to be a Jet
- 50:15Sweep or something like that to maybe get their eyes looking in
- 50:18the wrong direction. That's the purpose behind all
- 50:21that motion, we get that well but if You know, that you're
- 50:25going to run it up the gut, like that just freaking run it up the
- 50:28gut, just do it. It's just the a tried get too
- 50:33cute with some other stuff and that's why for me, it's going
- 50:37back to Scott Turner, a majority of my brain power goes to him
- 50:40because he's calling us out of games.
- 50:43It's third and two, third and three and you give it to Curtis
- 50:47Samuel out of shotgun. How did you know?
- 50:50Yes, yes, man. Come on.
- 50:52How many times have we said that this whole year?
- 50:55Why are we, why are we doing this out of shotgun?
- 50:58Do you do we not trust? The quarterback sneak, do we
- 51:00know? I trust you know, full back in
- 51:03the tail back and through the eye and just run it up the gut.
- 51:06Obviously we don't It. I think he just wants to be
- 51:10cute. I think he wants to try and pull
- 51:14some We don't have a cutesy football team.
- 51:18Just, you know, in the thing is we have to play a damn near
- 51:24perfect game because does not say that.
- 51:26Yeah, lack of quarterback Talent.
- 51:29If your quarterback is not the better quarterback than your
- 51:33entire team, has to step it up a notch.
- 51:36And we have these past couple of games, the problem is the Giants
- 51:41have the better quarterback, right?
- 51:44And the defense got Gasps in the fourth quarter, I don't blame
- 51:48our defensive line, all those first-rounders up front because
- 51:52they were on the field. We converted one third down so a
- 51:57lot of time on the grass that's why it's hard for me to really
- 52:02get it on them. And John Allen was fighting his
- 52:06heart out man. There was one time where I
- 52:08thought John was going to come to blows in the Huddle on his
- 52:11own team because John's yelling and screaming at them.
- 52:14Like what the hell is. Until the possession was even 30
- 52:18minutes to 29 minutes at that point, you know, 30.3 29.3.
- 52:23But I felt like our defense and that fourth quarter, they had
- 52:26just been out there for so long and the Giants went into a hurry
- 52:28upset and it was just kind of frustrating and Rafael.
- 52:33Rubio said this in saying my 13 year old son, said to me on the
- 52:37way home Dad it was the Commander's versatile refs.
- 52:40A lot of judgment call should have been a flag for holding.
- 52:44It was a lot. not called, and The illegal penalty on Terry.
- 52:51Okay? But how do you not call pass
- 52:53interference on that Curtis Samuel play?
- 52:57Did you see the picture that's out there everywhere?
- 53:02Yeah, yeah, I mean he's a dude, he's all over him.
- 53:05It's almost like it's a freaking.
- 53:08Go go and a grind session. I don't know if you've ever been
- 53:12to a go-go wagons concert ahead of time.
- 53:14Yeah, yeah. Well, how about this?
- 53:18Little dirty dancing, when the girl turns it back to you and
- 53:21you sneak up behind her. And I sneak up with you close to
- 53:24her and dance but he's not saying.
- 53:27But that's what it, that's what it was.
- 53:29Yeah, ultimately it was so I couldn't believe it and so that
- 53:36just Well, this is actually, this is what Rivera said about
- 53:41it. The call on Terry, Terry seemed
- 53:45pretty adamant. He appointed his hand out to the
- 53:47ref. What was the Expo?
- 53:48Did you guys see on the film? Looked like Terry Point.
- 53:50That's exactly what I thought to thank you as well.
- 53:56The fourth down, I mean I again in fact don't ask me about the
- 54:01referee because I can't answer the question.
- 54:06I'm not giving any of my blame to the rest.
- 54:08Yeah it's just we never should have put ourselves in that
- 54:12situation. Even number one, we've talked
- 54:15about it time and again, you can't leave the game in someone
- 54:19else's hands and make it that close.
- 54:22It's like a boxing match. You can't let it go to the
- 54:24judges. They in essence, let it go to
- 54:27the judges and the gel in see something different than what
- 54:31you thought. Exactly.
- 54:34But it's to call that ticky-tack flag on Terry to take the
- 54:39touchdown off the board, but to not even Give Curtis the benefit
- 54:44of the doubt on that. Actual pie is unbelievably
- 54:49frustrating and Nikki. Avala is the pool reporter for
- 54:53the Press. So the NFL makes referees
- 54:56available to talk to the Press after the fact and Nikki ask
- 55:02them this question. So question, let's talk about
- 55:05the terrible claw employer was that indeed illegal formation
- 55:08and what did you see, it appeared that he pointed to the
- 55:11official Is the obligated to tell Terry that he's at the line
- 55:15or not. And this was from referee, John
- 55:18hussy. Well I didn't see any of that
- 55:21because I'm in the backfield when I was told and what has
- 55:24been confirmed is that the ball was snapped at the half-yard
- 55:27line and he was lined up our yard.
- 55:29Back at the one and a half yard line in order to be deemed
- 55:33legal. He needs to break the Beltline,
- 55:35the ways of the center and he was not breaking the waistline
- 55:38of the center. That's why the penalty was
- 55:39called, because he was not an illegal formation.
- 55:43Okay, then Nikki asked what a player does point to the
- 55:47official like that. Does the official have to say
- 55:48whether he's at the line or not referee, says not, typically the
- 55:52official could be doing other things, like, counting the
- 55:54offense. There's a multitude of different
- 55:56duties. So I can't confirm whether the
- 55:58official even saw that or not, but he was clearly off the line
- 56:02of scrimmage. So okay illegal formation
- 56:08whatever. Next question on the fourth
- 56:10down, play it look like defensive pass interference
- 56:12against Washington. Wide receiver Curtis Channel but
- 56:15nothing was called. Are you able to explain what
- 56:17we're seeing there? The referee says pass.
- 56:20Interference is a judgment call to the officials.
- 56:22It didn't rise to, what they felt was a restriction, thus
- 56:25they didn't call it. That's basically the bottom line
- 56:28there. It's a judgment call, didn't
- 56:29believe it was pass interference.
- 56:32I don't know how many Times on whether it was College up the
- 56:36pro that same scenario. They're getting the flag first
- 56:40down ball in one. I don't want to hear that man.
- 56:43That's right there. I've seen it many times and you
- 56:47can't tell me that it should not have been poor poor poor play
- 56:54referee right there so but ultimately What can we do about
- 57:00it? And, and I remember, I think it
- 57:02was DJ swear injure or something like that.
- 57:06Something happened. Where was a play, and they came
- 57:08back and they said, oh yeah, we should not have called that and
- 57:11if he hadn't called that, then the time the Redskins would have
- 57:14won the game. Well, that doesn't help now.
- 57:17Yeah, you know, it doesn't help. Now if the ref comes out and
- 57:20says yeah, I told him what he did and he did check in with me
- 57:23or yeah, guys, that was passing the France.
- 57:25I mean, what are they gonna do? Find the rest.
- 57:28I think they do find the Or they can even borrow them from from
- 57:31from reffing anymore, NFL teams in that same calendar year.
- 57:35But now, man, I don't want to hear it.
- 57:39We we all saw it. Yeah, I mean he was draped over
- 57:43his back. It was a bang bang play, just
- 57:46the rf8 his whistle. He didn't wanna make the call at
- 57:49that point. I just called both ways.
- 57:51That's all I'm saying. You got it.
- 57:53I mean, if you call it to play beforehand on Terry, you got a
- 57:56call, the other one on that. But who would you give you a
- 58:00real chain two this week knowing?
- 58:03What happened who still gets to wear that shame?
- 58:06Yeah, Dotson. It was a bass man.
- 58:10I mean, Jahan stepped up big time for 4105 with a TD.
- 58:16I mean that young man is he knows how to find the end zone
- 58:22and he leads the team in touchdowns right now.
- 58:27Receiving touchdowns And he missed how much the games.
- 58:30Yeah, I mean, I just, I couldn't be happier with the effort.
- 58:33He puts out on that field. He's got six touchdowns for the
- 58:36season only 338 yards, but it's because he missed a bunch of
- 58:39games. I felt like, if he'd been in
- 58:41there during that stretch run, we were winning, right?
- 58:44Yeah, I mean he would be better but I'm thinking to myself, when
- 58:49Dax mail and goes back there for that pun, that he fumbled, but
- 58:52wasn't a fumble. Why is Jehan not back there?
- 58:56It was such a crucial point in the game.
- 58:58And we pin them back. Why was Jahan not back there?
- 59:02Catching that part because you are training camp with me.
- 59:05We talked about it during training camp.
- 59:07Everyone talked about it, jahan's catching punts well we
- 59:10want to try and put him back there to give us a change of
- 59:12pace. Sorry, but that smell em.
- 59:15Ain't it? The only thing.
- 59:19Yeah, go ahead. It's a crucial point in the
- 59:21game, but Jehan back there. I was going to say, the only
- 59:25thing I can think of realistically, man, is they
- 59:28don't want to get hurt, and they feel that possible.
- 59:32If putting him back there, he gets hurt.
- 59:35Now you've just taken away a piece for our offense that we
- 59:38have shown you that we can score with.
- 59:41So now we got to start all over again and we don't want to do
- 59:44that as you said it playing scared.
- 59:46I mean you play football. No one wants to get hurt in
- 59:48football but you play the game and if he is better than
- 59:53Erickson. Ormaline then yeah, man.
- 59:56I mean come on you put the best 52 on the or the Yea best 82 on
- 1:00:00the field or best 11 on the field, who's ever playing with
- 1:00:03his offense defense better team. That's who supposed to be there.
- 1:00:05Not because I know your mom, you know, this this isn't Pop Warner
- 1:00:12or High School. You did it.
- 1:00:13Your top booster, know the best 53 and if it's skillsets shows
- 1:00:18that he is the best, then put them in.
- 1:00:23John is a more explosive player than Dax melon in John's pinky.
- 1:00:29He has more Talent than Dax Miller has in his entire body
- 1:00:33and you know who's the coach for the Rams?
- 1:00:38Why can't I think of his name right now?
- 1:00:40You know who I'm talking about was maybe?
- 1:00:41Yeah, McVeigh make phase. Basically Mantra is, you attack
- 1:00:46success. We did not attack success.
- 1:00:49When we tied, New York up there, we were up 10.
- 1:00:52Nothing and they came back and ended up time that damn game.
- 1:00:55We did not attack success today when we decided to punt the ball
- 1:00:59on the 34 yard line, we did not attack success today when you
- 1:01:03don't have Jon Donson back there a Difference Maker remember
- 1:01:07Wendy on would go back and feel Ponce.
- 1:01:09It's not like you did it all the time but when he did it you had
- 1:01:11to get scared because you knew something could happen.
- 1:01:15Same thing with Santana. He could break it at any given
- 1:01:18time. Yeah.
- 1:01:19And if this kid has this Talent. And you prep him with this
- 1:01:23Talent, why not give him a chance to show how Dynamic he
- 1:01:28is? If I'm the Giants?
- 1:01:30I immediately start quaking in my boots because of that spin
- 1:01:32move. He put on us up in New York.
- 1:01:34Yeah, you know, it's just, it's that lack of Dimension that this
- 1:01:40coaching staff doesn't have drives me crazy, but Dax not
- 1:01:45Dax. John is a perfect one to get a
- 1:01:48real change. I mean, for me, I'm going to
- 1:01:53have to break it up. Okay.
- 1:01:55So I want to hear this 50% is going to go to trust way and
- 1:02:02this isn't being funny stress pin them back.
- 1:02:07How many times man? He was freaking Stellar two
- 1:02:10times inside the 20. He just he flipped the field for
- 1:02:13us a ton and Tres did his damn job.
- 1:02:17He's actually leading the team and Pro Bowl boats, our punter.
- 1:02:21Is leading a Pro Bowl V because he is that damn good.
- 1:02:24He's the best player we've had in our team in the past.
- 1:02:27You know, eight, nine years which is kind of sad to say he
- 1:02:30is put up almost every year. I'm not mistaken.
- 1:02:33Yeah. And I'm his wife actually had a
- 1:02:35custom shirt at training camp that said something about Tres
- 1:02:40on it and I asked rest where to get that from can I buy that is
- 1:02:43like what my wife had these custom-made?
- 1:02:45And they're in women, so be kind of awkward on you.
- 1:02:47I'd so rocket. But you know, the trusses my
- 1:02:50man, the other For me, it's got to go to Terry.
- 1:02:54Terry broke 1,000 yards. Alright 1,000-yard season in a
- 1:03:00row, first redskins Washington player to do that since Henry
- 1:03:04Allard. And you could tell he wanted
- 1:03:07this man. It just I got into an argument
- 1:03:10with some older Redskins fans in the stands after the game that
- 1:03:15sit behind me and they were pissed off about the whole, In
- 1:03:21Gold thing because they were stuck outside with me and that
- 1:03:24forward if I'm in that line. So he was already heated because
- 1:03:26of that and then the game and the word going back and forth
- 1:03:29and their say, well I'm not coming back next year unless
- 1:03:30Schneider is gone. So I'm talking with them.
- 1:03:32So you didn't start rooting for this team because of Jack, Kemp
- 1:03:35Rock, like what you and I have been talking about you know,
- 1:03:37during our shows. Yeah, every time it's like that
- 1:03:40has nothing to do with it. So why won't you come out here
- 1:03:42and support these players? And then they're talking about
- 1:03:44these players don't care. Like, how can you say these
- 1:03:46players? Don't care.
- 1:03:47John, Allan's yelling and screaming at his teammates and
- 1:03:50going there, Terry's out. Are busting his ass.
- 1:03:53How can you say these guys? Don't care and you know, with
- 1:03:56all due respect to them. Sorry, they're wrong.
- 1:03:59But I'm also can't tell them where to spend their money
- 1:04:01because they fly here man for every home game from Houston.
- 1:04:07Every day. Yeah, okay, that's different.
- 1:04:12So I get not wanting to come back but to tell me you're not
- 1:04:16going to come back because it dies to me that's BS.
- 1:04:20But, you know, it is what it is. I just felt that, you know, the
- 1:04:25day. We let slip man, we let these
- 1:04:27two games slip and maybe it was Sabotage by the refs.
- 1:04:34But all I know is right now. We're still Fill in the
- 1:04:37playoffs. If it ended today we still are
- 1:04:42got where I can appreciate that. We're in the seventh seat with
- 1:04:45three games left. If we go through, you know we're
- 1:04:48in, we still control our own destiny.
- 1:04:51If we finish 2 & 1, then the Seahawks in the Lions.
- 1:04:56Have to go three and out to overtake us.
- 1:04:59So even if we give a game off the Seahawks, have to go
- 1:05:02undefeated or the Lions have to go undefeated, so we have a
- 1:05:06thirty-five percent chance of making the postseason right now.
- 1:05:10Which is not a lot. Obviously.
- 1:05:13Seattle has the Chiefs next. So hopefully that's the Chiefs
- 1:05:17on Christmas Eve. Hopefully, that's a loss for
- 1:05:19them. Then they got the Jets and then
- 1:05:22they got the Rams, the Jets. And the rams look like easy,
- 1:05:25pickings right now, The lion scare me though, man.
- 1:05:29The Lions have the Panthers, the Bears and the Packers.
- 1:05:35So, We have to play in hard, they are, we have to not let it
- 1:05:42end up where if the lines go through, you know, we give up
- 1:05:46again with Don Irene, it's in our control man.
- 1:05:49And hopefully we don't get sabotaged Again by these refs.
- 1:05:53Man, it's love-hate relationship did this.
- 1:05:57This winning in type of thing, you know, I love it on one
- 1:06:00aspect, because you control your own destiny.
- 1:06:02I hate it on the other because of the pressure.
- 1:06:04And a lot of times our guys, Whatever reason historically
- 1:06:08just have not done well under pressure and I don't know who I
- 1:06:13heard saying this, but it might have been you.
- 1:06:16And I are, it was whoever it was basically says you're perfect
- 1:06:22games are pretty much come to an end, you know, because you got
- 1:06:27to be perfect in the ball, has the fall just the right way.
- 1:06:30You know, and all these games will be one.
- 1:06:32They've always said, well, the boss fell the right way.
- 1:06:34Well, at some point, I'm the boss Not going to follow the
- 1:06:37right way and you've got to rely upon sheer Talent versus luck.
- 1:06:42Because luck is only going to get you so far.
- 1:06:45So it's difficult, man. And I hate these when you're in
- 1:06:52scenarios because we had the perfect cushion last night.
- 1:06:57It was there. I mean with caution, we win that
- 1:07:01game and we can't afford to lose to the 49ers.
- 1:07:03Yeah, and the 49ers with mr. Relevant in sorry, the 49ers are
- 1:07:08relevant. They clinched the AFC West,
- 1:07:11they're doing a damn good job right now.
- 1:07:13And I figured, we'll beat the Giants will loosen the Niners,
- 1:07:17and then we'll see what the last few games come down to one.
- 1:07:20Now that's flipped at a pretty much beat the 49ers this week
- 1:07:24and we'll get to that on Wednesday.
- 1:07:26But man, it's going to be a tough round of these pliers.
- 1:07:29Laughs and I'm kind of glad I didn't buy plane tickets to all
- 1:07:33these different towns right now. Well you know what?
- 1:07:39I'm glad I didn't either because here it is.
- 1:07:42It you would have got a credit that's about it man it's not
- 1:07:46blessed with it so that's what we're giving you a credit
- 1:07:48instead. Happy Trails brother.
- 1:07:50Well regardless I still hope we make it in 35 percent.
- 1:07:55You're still telling me we got a chance but we'll get into that
- 1:07:58on Wednesday. May All right, but with that
