00:02i didn't want to run two qb sneaks with the thought process of again getting putting the
00:06ball in harm's way taking some shots on josh just to get we are we knew we were already in
00:10line
00:11so it's like hey do i just hey center the ball and just take two knees you know you go
00:15back two
00:15yards you but you don't give them you know they end up at worst if you miss they get 45
00:20seconds
00:20to you know they go 20 yards for the field goal big difference in two minute and and you know
00:25the
00:2545 45 yard field goal and a 47 yard field goal percentages you should still be good to go
00:31right and um you know so if i had that if i had that opportunity again um look i was
00:36convicted
00:36about it you know a t-bass was good to go you know the conversation we had in the huddle
00:40and upstairs
00:40was like let's just go win the game right now
00:47he does continue there to say that he would do it differently next time joe brady probably would
00:51do it yeah good work um i mean you also don't have to take loss on qb sneakily there are
00:57a lot
00:57of qb sneaks out there where the quarterback like kind of steps forward while his center goes forward
01:02and like you don't lose any yardage sure you still kneel it the the it is wild now the fear
01:09of a fumble
01:10from your running back and i was trying to find out if if fumble rates are higher than they used
01:16to be
01:16because of you know the punches and you can see on the all 22 the landman the linebacker for the
01:22rams
01:22he was hunting james cook the whole game look what tracking him watching him punching that football
01:28sure he got it out late in the overtime but and they punched him twice but anyway do i have
01:34to now
01:34treat a regular handoff as if that's a risky play i'm kind of asking that honestly because
01:42it watching the whole league it's not just cook i know cook leads the league in fumbles
01:46and i saw the number of points he's cost them expected points lost on fumbles over the course
01:52last two years it is 32 points that's the thing about epa it's a lot it's just like you know
01:59goals
02:00save above expected like oh how could you save a half a goal well you know you do it over
02:04the course
02:05of a full season and this goal that should have gone in 80 percent of the time that went in
02:10or this
02:10one went in one percent of the time when same thing with right you stop a shot that's a coin
02:14flip to go
02:15in it's half a goal sure yeah and not only that but think about if you fumble on your own
02:19one
02:19versus fumbling on that one yeah that's points added points lost versus fumbling on the 50 versus
02:25fumbling you know time it's whatever it's why three of allen's picks that are thrown 40 yards down
02:31the field are not as valuable as one you know two out route for a pick six right exactly you
02:37know with
02:38with allen i know arm punt can be a maybe a coping mechanism but as soon as he threw that
02:44interception
02:44the real loss isn't the interception it's that he didn't complete the third down third and six
02:50which would have added a first down instead it's like he missed that throw and they punted the same
02:54distance i know right you know arm punts are whatever you don't like the term something out
02:58there but i think with allen they they apply anyway with cook and with the idea that running the ball
03:03there would be risky i mean that's just that's a tough shit guys it shouldn't be a tough sell
03:07i'm a little nervous about cook carrying the ball but still what percentage of carries does he
03:14fumble the ball on so i like brady brady basically says like you said he might do it differently that's
03:20all you can ask for your coach here's why i did it yeah now that i've had time to think
03:23about it
03:23maybe i'd go back and do it differently and maybe they put some things in that they would do differently
03:28whether it's hand the ball to ty johnson or i don't know tush push maybe there's a spot too
03:33i was about to say tush push with dawson knox because you don't want to get josh hit that late
03:38in the game but now you're adding in another element anyway i he does say there's not much
03:43difference between 45 and 47 yards statistically so which is true they kind of ran it my guess would
03:49be they ran it through all their stuff after the fact and they're like i mean next time we we
03:53run it
03:53a couple times i i would be surprised if fumble rates are up i know it probably feels like that
03:58because
03:58of the the peanut punch being every fumble you see basically now but the fact that no other running
04:06back in the league in the last two years has more than six fumbles and b and it's bijon by
04:11the way
04:11who gets the ball a million times like his rate probably isn't that bad but that's it and then
04:17it's guys scadabo's at five henry's at four pollard at four like it's not really an epidemic it's kind
04:24of a james cook epidemic really cook is at 11 right yep and all these guys are at four or
04:29five
04:30mostly some of them are even at one or two that are like like kyron williams gets the ball all
04:34the
04:34time right he's at three um mccaffrey gets the ball all the time he's at two so and these are
04:40just
04:40fumbles he's not any fumbles lost so i i feel like it might not be a league problem it just
04:46is a
04:47problem here right now the other thing about fumbles let's let's really quickly apply them to
04:51interceptions get a couple calls in and paul hamilton in about five minutes here in football
04:55we love to focus on the negative not just us but coaches and players and you're avoiding bad things
05:02right you have a if the best running back in the league bijon fumbles a lot or if cook fumbles
05:07a lot
05:07it's how can i justify that can i justify james cook fumbling and the answer would be in a couple
05:13things like rush yards over expected right cook is fourth in the league in rush yards over expected
05:19that's really good in rush yards over expected per attempt he's in the top 10 and all that really to
05:25me signals is you know sure you can put a running back in there that doesn't fumble the ball as
05:31much
05:31as he does but if i lose those 88 yards over expected in just five four what five games yeah
05:38how many first downs is that how many drive extensions is that is that a game-breaking
05:42touchdown that i didn't get because the other guy was in so it's same with alan does he throw
05:47interceptions yeah you know what else you get with alan that you don't get with anybody else
05:51elite sack avoidance right he does last year was a one exception there but that was back against the
05:58rams where their their pressure to sack was six percent in that game yep that's the that's the
06:03number that the best guys in the league have you have a guy that gets away that extends plays that
06:08runs and the trade-offs sure the traditional too many interceptions for a guy like kirk cousins
06:15you gotta go man the same number of interceptions for josh allen it's very much that's fine that's
06:20worth it it i think though where cook is at it's too much like 88 yards very good like and
06:27try that
06:28that is drive extensions but four fumbles in five games like if i'm getting almost a fumble a game
06:33a fumble every 20 carries that he's getting so far this year is he due for uh regression positively
06:39probably because i would say like cook finished i would say even as good as he's been that's not
06:46good enough to overweight four fumbles in five games but right i would not expect him in the next
06:50five games to have how many fumbles did he have last season he had i think the number was six
06:55okay six
06:55so last year six fumbles and this year already at six this year he's got maybe pro football references
07:01and okay updated yet six from last year and i've got him at four for this year yeah last year
07:07he led the
07:07league in rush yards over expected right and that's not leading in carries right rush yards
07:14over expected it's james cook number one overall and number two per carry it's better than derrick
07:21henry derrick henry who by the way never fumbles right pretty much one thing about derrick henry he
07:25has four in the last two years if i was to tell you you know hey you're gonna put somebody
07:29else in
07:29there and give it to ray davis instead if it's just in that game scenario i think i could
07:36understand it if i've got a sure-handed this guy is never gonna fumble bar ball carrier i can
07:41understand it but all of a sudden switching over like 30 of my carries i'm losing a lot when i
07:47do
07:47that it also could be there's luck stuff too and like cook cook in his first three seasons fumbled
07:53the ball six times total that's it now twice per year he's done a four in the last five games
07:58like
07:58you might just think that even if you just keep throwing him out there that just luck will cause him
08:04to go down and fumble rate this year quick thing jerry ostrowski on the bill squad show he said
08:08cook should cut his arm sleeves off he's got the sleeves up his arm and that's something that
08:14thurman used to do thurman used to cut the sleeves off the arms you need to feel the ball against
08:19your
08:19skin not not all the way up your arm you got to feel it and that makes a difference uh
08:23dominic before
08:24we get to paul hamilton and last night's savers game hey dominic good morning good morning thanks for
08:28taking my call guys um yeah a few things just the first one i wasn't originally going to say this
08:33but
08:33you guys mentioned the nevis being cut and him having a bad attitude the fact that he supposedly
08:38patented thicker kicker and was selling merch i think is all the evidence you need that that's
08:41probably accurate six foot two listed at six foot 242 that's a big boy yeah you can probably still
08:51get merch for him if you want um but yeah the other thing i i was at allegiant for the
08:56uh browns
08:58the browns raiders game a couple years ago and it's an awesome stadium i was telling joe cali about it
09:02and it's just the most impressive thing i was there when it was like 105 degrees and they keep
09:06the entire stadium at like 68 70 degrees it's like such a nice temperature which is kind of like
09:11mind-blowing because it's a giant shiny black building so i can't imagine heat it takes right
09:15but yeah no it's it's awesome and all the raiders fans were cool although they have a bad rap and
09:20they
09:20do like a whole there's a whole thing if you get there early where they go through mgm and they
09:23have
09:23like a marching band and they're all dressed in ridiculous stuff which is that part you'd expect but
09:27yeah it was a fun experience and just about the game in general um obviously the rams i'm not
09:34downplaying the rams bills game that game was awesome and the bills are that was an awesome
09:39performance by josh allen and but for me it's like kind of similar what i said about the pats game
09:44is
09:45they have a great survivor's instinct like they very seldomly get blown out i'm going back to like
09:49the mcdermott era and what i want to see different with brady so they had a great always been great
09:53at
09:53surviving always great at like you know battling never you know backing down but what i want to
09:58see is when you have a team reeling similar like the patriots game is like i want to see the
10:03killer
10:03instinct which i feel like they were lacking under mcdermott is when you have a team that's in bad
10:07shape and you know you could just completely blow them out and blow up their confidence and just
10:12actually do that like show up and like don't play down to their level which i think this team was
10:16known
10:16for doing with under mcdermott and i want to see them just actually play i want to see their offense
10:22at
10:22least because their defense whatever be elite regardless of who you're playing um but that's
10:26about it so and i know both teams are paid and they're always but both teams are trying to win
10:31and i get all that but yeah i just want to see the bills just you know show up and
10:35be the bills as
10:36opposed to playing down thanks all guys thanks thanks and for the raiders this week they had their
10:41first really bad game this last week against the patriots the raiders you know they got out to that
10:473-0 start and they beat the saints along the way and they beat the chargers and they probably
10:51should have beat the chiefs and they were right in it against the chiefs yeah so fumbled kickoff
10:56fumbled kickoff that would have given them a chance and instead they i mean they're they're down a lot
11:02quickly but yeah they got blown out so much so that they put mendoza in in new england yeah and
11:10could we see mendoza against the bills not to start kirk cousins has been fine and they're trying to
11:16probably make the playoffs and they've got a good head start on that but anyway
