00:00Is playoff performance, Maz and Murray, concerning or good news
00:04given the nature of the game and his first time out?
00:06Look, I hate to pull a Murray.
00:08Can I say both?
00:10He was good in the second half.
00:11I would say more concerning because of the strip sack.
00:16Holy crap, we're doing this again?
00:17We're going back to weeks one, two, and three?
00:21When there was that sort of stupid mistake under pressure,
00:24you're still trying to get the ball out of there
00:26when they can bat it out of your hands?
00:28So that was the one.
00:31I didn't love the pick either.
00:32I know Vrabel called it an unfortunate Murray.
00:35He knows his kind of flukies and deflection.
00:38I thought he kind of threw in a congested area.
00:41I didn't love that either.
00:42But the fumble was way worse.
00:44That was a rookie mistake.
00:47What a mistake.
00:48Overall encouraging because you had to figure there was going to be jitters
00:51his first playoff game and some tightness, and there was.
00:54But again, in that second half, he was really good.
00:56And that throw was not in an easy window.
00:58It's a big-time throw.
01:00Again, comparing the two quarterbacks, he was way better than Herbert last night,
01:04and I think that's a good sign.
01:04Certainly he was.
01:06But that would be a bare minimum sign, Murray, if we think Herbert's a loser, right?
01:10So we hope that he was better than the other guy.
01:12He has to be better.
01:13He knows it.
01:14I mean, et cetera.
01:14But that D-line for the Chargers was bringing a lot of heat.
01:20Collinsworth pointed it out at one point late in the game that, you know,
01:22he likes to step up in the pocket, and they were muddying it up for him,
01:25and he was definitely uncomfortable.
01:26But he got through it.
01:27He didn't wilt.
01:28So credit there.
01:29It's true.
01:29He didn't wilt.
01:30I mean, overall, you can give one to have to agree he has to be better.
01:35Yeah.
01:35That's just how I mean.
01:36He definitely got looser later in the game.
01:39Like, and it started late in the third quarter.
01:41There was a third down play to Henry, and then the next one was the ball to Booty.
01:44Yep.
01:45Those were like, all of a sudden, the ball was going down the field,
01:47and he started to look like himself.
01:49Up until that point, I thought he didn't look like himself at all.
01:51Your calls, as promised.
01:52Alex in Virginia.
01:53Go, Alex.
01:55Yeah, so I thought this was the kind of game that I was expecting Drake made.
01:58I don't think he really played too well, to be honest, throughout the entire game,
02:02mostly because of those fumbles.
02:03I mean, if we're going to take a look at it, right, the Patriots caught a break
02:06that Jared Wilson has the best hands of any lineman that allowed his quarterback
02:10to get killed and grab that loose ball.
02:13Otherwise, that's going back for seven, and it's a completely different game.
02:17So I think for Drake May, the fact that they won with him playing relatively poorly
02:23is a good sign.
02:24He could learn from this because, like we all say, he's a very quick learner.
02:28So I doubt next week will be very similar to the way that he played last night.
02:33Yeah, the ball security is kind of an easy one.
02:34They're all kind of similar.
02:36He has a chance to tuck it and just take the sack or maybe even get rid of it,
02:41but it's sort of like he feels the pressure, and then he comes back up with the ball
02:45to try and make a play, and that's when it gets taken out.
02:48And I'm with the caller.
02:51I think he'll probably learn from it, but he's going to have to.
02:53Like, you can't have another game like that.
