00:00You've seen so many crazy endings with this team.
00:04All of this, six wins under 10 seconds are in overtime.
00:08It's just insane.
00:11It is berserk.
00:12I don't know how to explain it other than this team, when everyone else gets a little
00:16tighter, this team gets seemingly a little bit looser, Scotty.
00:20I don't know if that's a good description, but Jaden Daniels, I mean, you've heard the
00:24term cool as a cucumber.
00:26Well, cool as a cucumber, California cool, whatever you want to call him.
00:30The guy literally doesn't have a pulse.
00:32They win games against Chicago with the Hail Mary, against Philadelphia with six seconds
00:37left against, who was it, against Atlanta in overtime to get into the playoffs last
00:43Sunday night in Tampa.
00:45And he's just nonplussed, not even like, oh man, we won.
00:49He was like, yeah, okay.
00:50I knew that was going to happen.
00:52I'm fine.
00:53I'm going to celebrate a little bit afterwards, but in the moment, so cool, so poised.
00:57And really I think Dan Quinn has got this team playing way above not only expectation
01:04preseason during the season, but I think that way over their expectation, they kept calling
01:09this a recalibration and a reload, but not a rebuild, but there's no chance they thought
01:16it was all going to work out like this.
01:18Not a chance, no matter what they tell you.
01:20So when they lost to the Steelers and the Eagles and the Cowboys, those three games
01:26in a row, the trifecta, did you think that they were toast?
01:31Because unless I'm crazy, they never lost after that.
01:36They did not lose after that.
01:38You're right.
01:39So you're talking about the three game losing.
01:41I thought they should have beaten the Steelers.
01:44They lost by one.
01:45They dropped a couple of passes.
01:47They were outclassed by the Eagles and quite honestly, much of the day by the Cowboys who
01:52were playing the backup quarterback, Cooper Rush, and had played and got embarrassed on
01:57a Monday night at home just a couple of days earlier and were terrible.
02:00I have no idea how they lost that game.
02:03I didn't think they were going to get off the mat fully.
02:06As a matter of fact, the next week they were playing Tennessee at home, Scott, and I picked
02:10them to lose that game and they poured them a new one.
02:13They ran the ball for almost 270 yards against a pretty good defensive front.
02:17Now unfortunately, that hasn't held up that running game, that natural running game, which
02:22is how I think they beat the Lions on Saturday night.
02:26If they don't have that natural run game, the Brian Robinsons, Jeremy McNichols, a little
02:30sprinkle of Austin Eckler as a runner, and we saw him convert a fourth and two the other
02:34night in Tampa, maybe Chris Rodriguez, although I don't think he'll be active.
02:38If Jaden can't extend plays and make plays with his legs, I don't know how they win this
02:43game Saturday night in Detroit.
02:45They need that run game and the natural run game from the running backs to be much, much
02:50better than it has been during this entire winning streak.
