Actually, I got to be a normal person about some of it. But really just like there's a lot of like what happened, when happened. We're really trying to go why, how. I think a lot of people like when they can just point out one thing to their buddy at the bar. They go like, hey, hey, this linebacker's pretty good. Or hey, they like run this coverage or something of that sort.

My background, I kind of done everything in football, played, coached, scouted. I was a ball boy. I think with just all that has kind of led me to kind of go like, oh, maybe this. I was around a lot smarter people through osmosis. I go, maybe look out for this. Maybe look for this guard that's weak against this blitz. And I think that's kind of like a nice angle for us.

It's a lot of fun to kind of dive into.

And that's what people think the All-22, you know, the big X and O stuff where you can see all the players on there. People think that's like, oh, you guys don't know what you're looking at and stuff. But you have to rewind it a million times because... Like, you don't always see what the guard is doing from the sideline angle. You don't see downfield what the safety is doing.

And that play was brilliant. I mean, we had 500 backlash breakdowns on that play and everything. But that's what's really cool, especially with blitz stuff, is that there's layers to it. And there's rule breakers. And that's why I love Spagnuolo. I was a former offensive guy. But watch him. He breaks rules. And that's what – it's a total F me, F you kind of thing.

And he's able to do it. And you saw like that perfect fourth down play. It was like, yeah, that's what Spaggs does to you.

He does the 5-0-1 thing. Yes. That you're not – you are prepared for it, but it would be like a leap of faith to get there for an offense. And that's what's really cool when you start dissecting it.

That's right. And his reputation in my mind now, speaking to this, is he went from head coach retread, okay, interesting defense coordinator, to now I consider him one of the greatest defense coordinators of all time.

And I truly mean this. I think that some of the game plans, just like Belichick, should go to Canton. Because he's one of the best game plan coordinators. Once the playoffs start, it's so week to week. As far as like, all right, that game plan, throw it out because we're starting a whole new one.

And now we've got all 18 weeks to look at the previous film as opposed to maybe four in the middle of the season. Him and Andy Reid on the opposite side are the best. And now they have a bye week. So that's how I look at it too. It's like, all right, you probably paid pretty well too. And everybody now has the respect level has gone through the roof.
