00:00Mathematically, it's not that different from last year, your odds to get into the playoffs at this point.
00:06Do you guys talk about anything like that?
00:09We've got to win. That's as simple as that. I don't know what the odds are.
00:13I know they're not zero. And so what I told our guys, the odds aren't zero.
00:17So we're going to keep fighting, keep scratching, keep calling, keep approaching every week the way we've been doing it.
00:22And we've just got to win.
00:23Yeah, I thought they did a great job in protection. Joe did a good job buying some.
00:37I mean, sometimes, I mean, really, the two sacks we've given up the last two weeks were corner blitzes, totally different situations.
00:43One was a third down, you know, this guy's roll pressure, and the one against Baltimore was a first, second down under center play action.
00:49And so those are two that, you know, it's good calls by the defense.
00:56The line's done a great job in protection. They've given him time.
00:59The throw to Gusecki yesterday, we blocked everyone we could. We got a great squeeze on the right side.
01:03There's an unblocked player we can't account for. That's Joe's guy. Joe makes a miss and hits Gusecki for touchdowns.
01:08So I thought everybody did a really good job versus the pressure for the most part.
01:12There's one or two that were tough, and the line's been a big part of that.
01:15And in the run game, they're giving us exactly what we need in some key situations.
01:18First down, it was a little hard to mix our runs with some of the looks they were giving us that weren't always successful.
01:25But I thought on second down and third down, we did a great job of running football.
01:28And that's a credit to the guys up front, the backs and the tight ends, and I thought that was really well executed.
01:33I know the yards aren't there necessarily, but we got what we needed out of them when we needed it.
01:39Is this the best you think you've ever had, this stretch of offensive line play?
01:42It's hard for me to compare that.
01:46You know, I think we're in a good spot right now.
01:49We've got a lot of trust and confidence in those guys.
01:51They've got trust and confidence in themselves and each other, and so that's where we're at right now.
01:55But it's difficult for me to compare to years past.
01:58Samadji seemed to run with a lot of authority yesterday.
02:01What do you think?
02:02I think he always does.
02:03You know, he's really good.
02:04I think we've got a great combination, the way that we utilize those guys, and the good news is they're both good in all three phases of playing running back, you know, in terms of running, protecting, and receiving.
02:16They both show up in a lot of different ways, and so that's good because we can utilize them.
02:21I don't think it's very predictable for the defense to know, okay, this guy's on the field.
02:25This is going to happen because they've both shown that they're good in all three phases, so it's been a big positive for us.
