00:00I think people have lost their way on some things.
00:02The run-pass balance was a big one, two rushing attempts,
00:05three rushing attempts in the second half, not enough.
00:07Why was that?
00:08I just think the game kind of got away from them,
00:10but the bottom line is they didn't run the ball well
00:12when they tried to run it in the first half.
00:16But I do think there's been a lot.
00:18I don't want to say that the balance was okay because it's not.
00:21You don't want to be throwing 46 times and running 18 times.
00:26You have to be a really good team to get away with that,
00:28and the Patriots are certainly not at that stage yet.
00:31So I don't want to dismiss the fact that the balance was out of whack.
00:34I just feel like people are looking at it.
00:37You come out in that first drive of the second half.
00:39They moved it a little bit.
00:40They throw the pick.
00:41From that point on, you're going three and out.
00:43You're not really able to do anything well.
00:45When you weren't throwing it, you know, as an example,
00:48let's take the first possession after the pick.
00:52First and ten, you throw a pass to Hunter Henry.
00:54He's wide open.
00:55Airmails him.
00:56By a little sit route, you know, he throws it over his head.
00:59This was a horrible possession.
01:01So now it's second and ten.
01:02You don't want to run.
01:03It's not a running down.
01:06You know, you're not able to get anything, you know,
01:08with the second down play.
01:09It's third and long.
01:10Do you remember what happened on the second down play?
01:11Yeah, I think he dumped one off.
01:13To Travion Henderson who almost got killed.
01:15For like a yard.
01:17And then third down, everybody's covered.
01:19He's got to throw one to the sideline to Booty who was blanketed on the play.
01:23And you're punting.
01:25But, again, it all – if you just go back to that first down play,
01:29you make an easy pitch and catch, it's probably, at worst, second and three.
01:34Maybe even a first down again.
01:36And now, you know, now let's run the ball.
01:39You know, we got – you know, we're ahead of the chains.
01:41Too many plays like that.
01:43Too many easy throws, I think, especially in the second half.
01:46May didn't make.
01:47And that kind of makes it tough to run the ball maybe as often as you want to
01:52when you're going three and out every drive.
01:54People also complaining about Travion Henderson's usage or lack thereof.
01:57What's the truth, Paul?
01:58I think it's the same.
01:59Same kind of theory.
02:01First of all, Henderson led the team in touches.
02:04He had 11 touches in the game.
02:06I think Stevenson had 10 or 9 counting targets for Stevenson.
02:11I think he had two more carries.
02:13He carried it seven times.
02:15Henderson carried it five times.
02:16They really only ran it 12 times conventionally.
