00:00sports. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:04You know a lot about the
00:05history of this sports in this
00:09town. So, in 1991, and I know a
00:12lot of stuff that they're doing
00:13today. Just, you know, keep
00:15saying, well, hadn't done this
00:16since 91. Coach Gills would
00:18always tell us how good the
00:19other team was which I
00:20absolutely hate it. You know
00:22what I mean? I'm like, well,
00:24what the hell are we doing? You
00:25know what I mean? Right. And I
00:26had a lot of lot of players in
00:28that locker room that kept my
00:29mouth shut and said that, you
00:30know what dog? We can play. You
00:32know, and we we we knew that
00:34that was his way but we had the
00:36guys in the locker room. Do you
00:38see any similarities as far as
00:40the play and how that team is
00:42constructed because I've always
00:44felt you can't just win with
00:45young. You can't win with just
00:46old. You need a combination and
00:48they seem to have that too.
00:50Yeah. I mean, I just I think I
00:52feel like the ninety-one team
00:54was was a veteran team. You
00:56know, you think about all those
00:58guys that had been there in the
00:5980s, you know, the the hogs that
01:01were left like Graham and
01:03Jacoby and you know, the the
01:05guys that were still there and
01:07Charles and and the guys on
01:09defense that had gone through
01:10it, Manny, and all those guys
01:12that had been through it for the
01:13whole decade. There was still
01:15they were still kind of leading
01:16it. I mean, they were sprinkling
01:17in the new guys but I always
01:21felt like that was a veteran
01:23led team. You know, like they
01:25set the tone. I remember Gibbs
01:27saying, you know, over and over
01:30that he didn't really have to
01:31say a whole lot that year
01:32because the veterans were were
01:34running the show. You know, the
01:35locker room was taken care of to
01:37your point. So, whereas with
01:39this team, it's not, I mean, I
01:42think it's part of it because
01:43it's such a new team. It's
01:44such, you know, that team was
01:45literally put together this year
01:47like, you know, the vast
01:48majority that they lead the
01:50league by far in roster turnover
01:54like they have 60% of the team
01:56is new this year, you know,
01:58like that's the highest in the
01:59league. So, there's nothing to
02:02draw on really with this group.
02:04It's not like they've been
02:05playing together for five years,
02:06you know what I mean? Like, so
02:08it's it that's what's so
02:09interesting about it is that
02:11it's just this group of guys, a
02:13lot of veterans on one year
02:15contracts, older guys, but also
02:19a lot of young guys and again,
02:22especially Jaden that are really
02:25contributing, you know, say
02:26we're still contributing to to
02:28be sure some of the other guys
02:30Brandon Coleman starting at
02:31left tackle. So, they got the
02:33rookies. They got a bunch of
02:34rookies in important spots, but
02:38it's interesting. I just feel
02:40like this team. It's kind of I
02:43don't know. I'm not sure why
02:45this is working, but it's
02:46working, you know, I mean, it's
02:48working totally because it's not
02:51like they have they don't have
02:54a play style like you don't
02:56know what like like you knew
02:57what the hogs they were going to
02:58run the ball, you know, it's
02:59going to be powerful ball
03:00countergap all those things and
03:03the defense with the front four
03:04that they had at the time could
03:05get to the quarterback and
03:07force turnovers and things like
03:08that. So what this year is just
03:11kind of coming together on the
03:13fly. So in terms of what do they
03:15do? How do they win games? We
03:17put the ball in Jaden's hand and
03:19see what happens.
03:23Happening and it's remarkable
03:25that he's been able to do as
03:27much as he's been able to do
03:28this year. It's just when the
03:30defense has been up and down to
03:32be fair, you know, with an
03:34offense with the line that's had
03:36a bunch of injuries and they
03:37can't run the football very much
03:39anymore and they're in the
03:42divisional playoffs. It's
03:43incredible. It really is.
