00:03Nick's off the play action.
00:07And he doesn't see a winner he likes, so he just got rid of that one.
00:10And it brings up third down.
00:12That is a DB's best pressure.
00:15That pressure earned that incompletion.
00:18They came in before he could find a target
00:20and hit him to alter that last second attempt to get rid of it.
00:23So after that prior incompletion, it's third down.
00:30Throw here, third down.
00:33This does not get it.
00:35Looking short field, but the defender is there to force this fourth down.
00:39Feet and eyes, Kate. Feet and eyes.
00:41They so often tell the story of every position on the field.
00:44When that quarterback's feet and eyes move to his secondary read,
00:47and so often it's a tight end,
00:49it's incumbent on that defense to fly to the ball.
00:52You want to make that tackle, force the fourth down?
00:54It took a great defensive effort to do it.
01:00Brings it in at the 12.
01:02And he'll scrape together what he can on the return.
01:05And gets it back to the 20.
01:07The Saints and Spencer Rattler coming out for their next drive.
01:11And he may as well call him a constant headache
01:14that this defense has had to deal with all game long.
01:17I mean, the game plan to slow down his passing work,
01:19but it's been his rushes that have really broken the spirit of this unit.
01:30Offense showing trips outright as they get set for this first and ten.
01:37Shaking off the pick quickly.
01:38He's going to throw.
01:40And down he goes.
01:41The block of defense gets there.
01:43And nice work by the defense to start this drive out.
01:46It's a sack on the first play.
01:48This defense has been doing it all.
01:50Not just with the takeaways, but the pressure.
01:52And what that does, and how hard it is to play the quarterback position
01:55when you're taking a beating like this.
02:08After the sack, defense has got to be feeling good.
02:11Here comes second and 12.
02:14Working now from the gun.
02:17Complete pass to the right side.
02:19And we'll have it up to about the 23-yard line on the play.
02:34The Broncos bringing out an extra DB on third down.
02:40Third and long.
02:41They're going to throw.
02:42Squirt in here for Camaro.
02:45And it's an excellent work to drive them all the way up past the 30-yard line.
02:50That's an 11-yard pick-up, and it gives them the first down.
02:53To this day, I can still see the faces of the big guys in the middle.
02:56When you call a screen like that, instead of them just getting knocked backwards,
03:00they get to be salesmen.
03:01They get to push those linemen downfield and then tee off
03:04and go hit somebody like they did right there.
03:12Looking to throw.
03:14Rettler.
03:16We had it for a moment, but a great defensive play.
03:18We had to jar it loose.
03:19Incomplete.
03:21Well, even with the pick on that last drive partner,
03:23he was showing no hesitation whatsoever.
03:25Well, in order to play this game, Kate, at this level,
03:28you've got to be aggressive.
03:29You can't let a previous mistake really affect your next decision.
03:33I'll say this as well.
03:34In the NFL, you throw any coverage too many times,
03:36you can do more interceptions.
03:40Throwing it again here.
03:43Stepping up and takes off with this one.
03:45And he's got a decent game before being brought down.
03:49As quarterback, Kate, you've got to hope that those crumbs
03:52don't just lead to the cookie in the passing game.
03:55A short scramble like that may open up a bigger one down the road.
04:00Third and six for them to figure out now.
04:05And air it out on third.
04:09The right side cut by Olave.
04:11And he's got to get this up to the .5 before he's brought down.
04:15Six-yard gain on the play.
04:17And that's good for a new set of downs for New Orleans.
04:21That's what we call situational football.
04:23You spend all week working on your nickel passing game package
04:26to take advantage of third downs just like that.
04:31Jack-down snap to Rattler.
04:35And they can't connect on the deep close.
04:37Still a couple of snaps to play with, though, here.
04:39We've got second down.
04:40They don't complete a high percentage of these,
04:43but even the incomplete deep shots serve a purpose.
04:46It keeps the defense honest.
04:48Knowing if they overcommit close, they could get burned.
04:52No luck on first down.
04:53Here's second and ten.
04:59Rattler setting the throw.
05:03That one is incomplete.
05:05Couldn't hang on through the contact.
05:07He'd arrived as the ball did to break things up.
05:10So now it's going to be third and long.
05:13He may have taken away that quick slate.
05:15Look easy there, Brock, even in zone coverage.
05:17Yeah, it is not an easy route to stop.
05:19And you have to have tremendous eyes.
05:21I talked to you, Kate, and everybody about anticipation as a quarterback.
05:24It's the same thing for a quarterback in zone.
05:27He anticipated that route.
05:28He's jumping on the spot.
05:32And as a quarterback, you know when that screen pass is called,
05:35at least I used to.
05:36And you want to track that defense and all those guys coming after you.
05:40But you also got to find the throwing line.
05:42And you couldn't do it on that one.
05:44Down big.
05:44They're going to exhaust all options, it appears.
05:46The offense lining up to go for this.
05:50Desperation time here.
05:52And for Tamera on there, deep down the left.
05:55No good.
05:56And the casco is incomplete to that lengthy drive.
05:59And with nothing but a turnover on downs.
06:03Even the best receivers, they've got occasional breaks in concentration.
06:07You just never want to see it happen.
06:09One of the most important snaps of the game.
06:11If we know anything about this guy, though,
06:14it's he'll be up for the challenge the next time the ball comes his way.
06:27Let's see how they attack this first down, partner, from the 45.
06:33Straight ahead.
06:34Here's Dobbins.
06:36And he has this down at the 34.
06:39And game 11 on that play.
06:41And that's good for Broncos first down.
06:44Simply put, Kate, that is a drive starter extraordinaire.
06:48First and 10 at the 34-yard line.
06:52So they'll head up here, first and 10 from the 34.
06:59Running it again with Dobbins.
07:01And he's in to the front for a game of about two.
07:04That's the kind of run play that feels like tongue-of-war at Field Day.
07:08And you're just not moving the other side.
07:10Just a short run.
07:11Neither side feels particularly good about it.
07:14And we'll move to the next.
07:18Last run got him three.
07:19Here's second and seven.
07:26Shotgun snap to Nix.
07:28Pies him over the middle.
07:30And he'll pick up enough to move the chains.
07:33That's just great instance.
07:35Go air it out on second down rather than just play conservative and run it.
07:39They hit a weak point in the coverage and don't need to worry about third down at all.
07:43First and 10 at the 22-yard line.
07:46They keep this drive moving, partner.
07:48Here's another first and 10.
07:55Nix holds on to it.
07:58It's inside the 10.
07:59And he takes this one in.
08:01He's going to get a real touchdown.
08:03The Broncos keep adding that for Corleine.
08:07It's a bone-nix touchdown.
08:12My partner up here is pumping his fists after that one.
08:15That is how you run an option as a quarterback.
08:18Good read to hang on to it and do it himself.
08:20Yeah, because I could never do that.
08:22Not even close.
08:23But when the defense overplays and you run that option, you get that good two-on-one.
08:27More times than not, they will commit to the more dangerous guy, the running back.
08:30But you leave a lane, this quarterback can do some damage as well.
08:34Extra points right now from Lutz.
08:39The point after splits the upright.
08:41And the Broncos continue piling on to this lead.
08:45Saints at 22.
09:07Here's Lutz set to kick this away.
09:14Here's Miller on the return.
09:16Escapes the defender.
09:18He's brought down just inside the 25.
09:21The Saints ready to return their offense to the field.
09:24And the last time we saw them, Brock, they took a risk,
09:27went for it on their own half of the field, but it didn't work out.
09:46Saints to the line now.
09:47First stay in 10.
09:51They're going to start on the ground with Kamara.
09:54Can't slip that initial tackle.
09:55Stops made for no gain on that first down play.
09:59That linebacker makes that tackle right in the middle of the field.
10:01All I'm thinking about right now, Kate's training camp.
10:04Because that's the middle drill right there.
10:05That is technical.
10:06What you do in training camp, come into line where it matters.
10:10Nothing doing on the last run.
10:12It's second and 10.
10:18Another run for Kamara.
10:21He's going to get this one at 36-yard line.
10:24That's going to go as a gain of 13 yards.
10:27And that's good for a Saints first down.
10:29That brings us to the two-minute warning here in Denver.
10:33Saints just want to get out of here without this one is gone.
10:37They've got first down here from the 36.
10:42We're out there.
10:45He's going to pull this one down and run with it.
10:48And there's that slide at the end, Brock.
10:49Good decision-making there as he picks up close to eight on that run.
10:53You know, Kate, they always say that he'd be caught.
10:56You know what it's more like?
10:57It's more like a no-war.
10:59Especially in a situation like that.
11:00And it's a good thing you woke up to.
11:01Able to make something out of nothing and at least keep him moving forward.
11:06After a good pickup, they're set up with second and short.
11:10Good, completed over the middle.
11:13And he'll be brought down a step or two shy in midfield.
11:16They're going to mark him at the 48.
11:18It's a pickup of four yards.
11:20And that's good for a new set of downs for New Orleans.
11:22Let's go.
11:24A new four yards.
11:27Let's go.
