Tyler Shough Progression | Kentucky Defense | Sharief Ishaq | Hour 2

But right now, let's revisit last night, Saints and Falcons.

Again, if you're just jumping in the car, got off at 2:00, whatever the case may be, and haven't heard anything in the first hour, I ripped the Saints in the first segment because you have to after you see that disgusting performance, embarrassing performance.

And I thought it was an indictment on, on just about everyone with the Saints last night.

And so that exists.

You can go listen to that on demand if you'd like to.

I'm not trying to sugarcoat the loss.

I'm trying to offer a, an authentic and real evaluation of what I saw, and one aspect that I did find encouraging.

And you might look at me and go, "What are you smoking? Huh? What could be encouraging? They lost 45 to 24 with a nice little window dressing touchdown at the end.

It was a disaster from the third play to the end of the game." You're not wrong.

You are not wrong.

And I saw it, and I talked about it.

But I will tell you this, I think Tyler Shuck's a dude.

And I watched that game last night as it all went to crap, and I watched him handle a terrible situation pretty well.

Consider this, consider this.

You're playing with a running game that tried 19 carries, 17 that weren't you, for 50 yards total.

If you take Shuck's rushing out, it was 17 carries for 45 yards.

There is no running game, none.

You have no help from the ground, okay? Also, as was consistently noted on the telecast, the Falcons were getting a ton of pressure, and they were not blitzing.

So by definition, they're blinging-- bringing three or four players, in one instance two, but generally three or four players, dropping seven or eight players, and getting pressure.

So Tyler Shuck is sitting back there, seeing seven and eight man coverages with pressure, and he was asked to throw the ball 48 times.

And he didn't throw an interception.

He never put the ball really in harm's way, that I saw.

Then you consider this number, which is just grotesque.

He was hit 12 times last night, sacked two.

If you look at the pressure rate, he was pressured on a tick under 50% of his 48 dropbacks.
