Complementary football

But still, then we're right back with possession, with decent field position, attacking the 50 within one play.

That complementary football, I know you talked about it off-air.

We've got to get your spiel here.

But yeah, it's incredible to see those things come together and play.

Like, it just felt like, what are you doing, guy? [laughs] It didn't make any sense to me.

Um, but you know, and then so you have, you have the defense playing well, complementary football all over the place, and then for me, and we'll kinda get, I know, you know, we'll kinda get into this as we, as we get to the other side of it, but Josh McDaniels today, you talk about the haters, and of course, everyone hated on Drake May all week long.

But all I heard from Patriots fans, all I heard from Patriots fans, and even, "Look at Murph.

Look at Murph." Oh, wrong Josh.

So.

Well, and that's, I think that's the other thing is ha- having multiple guys who can do different things for you.

Like, we talk about complementary football, Kyle Williams wins a route, Maye can't make the throw.

That's gonna happen.

Offensively, you wanna grind, you wanna make sure that defense is good and tired.

If your offense can't play complementary football, it will drastically diminish your defense in this kind of climate.

If you are a bunch of three and outs, piss-poor play calling, can't move the football, can't run the football, inaccurate throws, n- nothing motion, movement, nothing, just straight at it, three and out, three and out, three and out, turnover, three and out, and you're putting your defense in bad positions, I would expect them to lose this game because you cannot put that defense on the field for a quarter more than the offense.

You can't do it, or you're gonna grind them down and they're gonna get beat.

That was incredible.

I mean, this was true complementary football, both sides of the ball, all three phases, really.

And just the kind of win you had to have early in this year, there's going to be some meaningful football.

And I think the opportunity to come home from London, possibly even at 2-2, is now on the table.
