Yeah, I remember in Indianapolis where we're playing Cincinnati Bengals. It's a Monday night. And it wasn't the game plan. It was after the first series. So if you remember when Carson Palmer was there and Ochocinco and like all those guys during the Cincinnati heyday, they went no huddle. They went up tempo.

So if you remember when Carson Palmer was there and Ochocinco and like all those guys during the Cincinnati heyday, they went no huddle. They went up tempo.

And when you go up tempo, I'll tell people all the time when you go up tempo, like the offense can't be super complicated because those guys aren't rocket science. We're on rocket science. Like it's got to be a code that everybody's going about. And so after the first series, we figured out when Carson Palmer will come to the line of scrimmage and say 922 Las Vegas, 922 Las Vegas.

Well, Las Vegas is a West Coast city. It was a it was a run to the left. If he came up and said, whatever, 644, 644, let's go Jacksonville, Jacksonville, check that, check that, New York East, New York East, it was a run to the right. And so we were able to decipher their game plan running the football within the first series of the game.

And so they didn't really have a ton of yards rushing that game. So it's one of those things where, like, the game plan can be cool, but everybody makes little subtle adjustments. And so it was a cool game plan where Palmer is kind of, you know, doing his thing, and we were able kind of to decipher their code that night.

Well, what you have to do is you have to kind of be like a kid in a candy store. Like, you can't let everyone know that you know when Santa's coming. Like, you kind of got to, like, oh, man, man, this is tough. Like, you really know it's coming. Yeah.

I got so many, man. First of all, I'll start it with this. John and I started out on a good relationship. Then we hit a rocky patch, and I think we're good now. But there was a period of time where I was probably his least favorite player of all time. Really? You got to understand, Gruden is an offensive guy, and there's nothing more he loved than another offensive player.

If you name him, he loved him. Defensive guys were just a tool to get him the ball back. Especially down in Tampa. You know, one of the best Gruden stories ever. Let's see. We've all seen the clip of Chris Sims. Like Chris Sims and John Gruden. And Chris Sims is trying to call the play and Gruden is looking at him like... I just told you to play.
