Chris Long Talking Divisional Round, Adam Schefter On Coaching Carousel, Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest

Like what's happening here? Like there he's like a, he's like a service agent on the phone. Like a bunch of people are calling him at the same time. Like whether it's me, the other D tackle, somebody needs to call in the secondary. We need to, we need to figure out what that call was tagged with. There's just a ton of like communication issues, but then not only that, like he's a great cover guy.

Right. And in the NFL now, You know, we kind of went through this thing where, like, backers not important. Coincidentally, running backs not important. They're important again. But backers are really important. You play โ€“ and we're not talking about the commanders so much, but any of these, like, souped-up West Coast offenses.

Like, you've got to have guys in the middle that are rangy and that can cover. I mean, like, the Eagles. We're going to talk about them in a second. They lose to Kobe Dean in a game where โ€“ You know, Matt Stafford is going to be trying to chunk the intermediate part of the field all day long. And you see it like when they played Minnesota. Minnesota gives up a lot of chunks in the middle.

Having a dominant backer in the middle of the field, like imagine if you have like, I'm not comparing Anzalone, but to illustrate the importance of the position, Fred Warner changes the entire game. Right. And I think for the Bills, when we get to that game, one thing we'll talk about is they were down three backers in that first game.

So it matters, not just having the green dot, but having good players in the middle field.

It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. It didn't work. I don't know why Todd Bowles did a lot of things he did down the stretch. I was really disappointed in that Bucs team. You know when you pick a team to win the division, you kind of get married to them and you fall in love with them and you justify all their mistakes and

You're like, well, that wasn't that bad with what they did in Dallas with the season on the line. Like, they're better than that. But in the biggest game, they kind of pissed down their leg with procedural stuff. And the point I want to make is the Commanders, they've won a lot of close games this year, including that game. I mean, when they beat Chicago, Stevenson was being an idiot.

When they beat Atlanta... There was bad clock management by Raheem Morris. And then last week, the Bucs, with the third and inches, with the jet sweep that they drop on the ground, there's a lot of teams that have been fucking it up, not taking anything away from the commanders in close games. Detroit doesn't do that. They're as well coached on both sides of the ball as any team in the league.
