00:00It almost feels overly critical to say, like, he sets the franchise record for completion percentage, 91.3%.
00:07What are you doing here?
00:08I write, no, listen, Zoe, I write an article on ESPN about a sensational performance, which is, and some of those throws, like, to Diggs.
00:18Pop, oh, yeah.
00:20No, I was going to say, no, no, good throws, good throws, like dimes to Diggs on the left sideline, Mac Hollins, the booty touchdown.
00:28Booty in the end zone, yeah.
00:29I mean, just amazing throws, so it was great.
00:34Okay.
00:35I think.
00:35It feels like there's a but coming here.
00:37Well, there's a little bit of a but, and it's because he's so important to the team.
00:42It's that every decision he makes is magnified, and I think there were four plays that he took off to run, and he acknowledged this after the game, guys.
00:53When I asked him, what did you think about breaking the completion percentage record, he goes, you know, I should have had a few more.
01:00Because he didn't finish through with his progression.
01:04He took off, and I felt like he hit the eject button a little too soon, huh?
01:07He talked about backside progression.
01:09Yes.
01:09And when he took off, he put himself in a vulnerable position.
01:14And in turn, it puts the team in a scary spot.
01:18Because if you lose Drake, every discussion we had here about January, excitement, playoffs, changes everything.
01:28And four plays is what I counted when I watched it over.
01:31Or he just needs to slide.
01:35But that was scary, Beetle.
01:37When he went out, I mean, the way that head hit the ground.
01:41And so I think you want to not come in here and be the curmudgeon.
01:45And, I mean, you won by 18 points on the road, and everything's going great.
01:49But you also want to be careful of just judging based on the result and not something that happened there that could have been.
01:56We could be having a whole different discussion.
01:58Yeah.
01:58You know, if he didn't come out of that tent and come back out on the field.
02:01You're not wrong.
02:02You're not wrong.
02:02This is how the coaches look at it.
02:04It's the exact same way you do.
02:05Like, what can we continue to do better?
02:07What do we err on?
02:09How do we sharpen him up?
02:11And that's an individual decision that he's making.
02:13I mean, he's the only guy who can control that.
02:15Yep.
02:15So for as great as he has been, he does have things, I think what you're saying, that need to be better for his own good and for the team's good.
02:23And that's it.
02:24And I hope it comes across that way and it's not like, because it's like a first-class problem.
02:29The guy's such a great athlete and wants to make plays.
02:35And these are positive plays on the stat sheet.
02:37But I think if he actually threw the ball, it would have even been more positive.
02:41Because, one, he wouldn't have put himself in harm's way.
02:43And I think they could have had more yardage.
02:45So I think he'll hold himself to that standard.
