I didn't think Chris Myers was going to say anything for the very little while they're doing bits over there, Chris Myers. Welcome back. And Danny on the fan, the commanders walk off winners on a 30 yard field goal from Austin Cybert. Automatic Austin. Good from 27, 45, 26, 27, 29, 33, and 30 yards as the commanders overcome an 0 for 6 in the red zone and win a football game. Now the red zone is going to be a big talking point, I'm sure, but I'll tell you what I will take every single week. I will take 425 net yards on offense and 6.2 per play. I will take 215 rushing net. I will take 37 minutes in 32 seconds time of possession because as amazing it is that the defense struggled the way that it did as rested as they were. That's how you win a football game with a bad defense. Don't let them take the field. Keep them on that bench. You see that bench over there? That's where I want you. You stay right over there. And that's what they did. Ball controlled, short, safe passes, the RPOs, the screen game, protecting the football for a second straight week. Daniels did not turn the football over for young quarterback, a big, big deal. That was the formula there. So you are 100% right in the sense that this, this is the tight rope they have to walk, right? Where I listen, you go to the red zone five or six times. I can't remember which one it was. You're going to end up with one touchdown, sometimes two God forbid, even if you're bad in the red zone, which Kingsbury's offenses have been historically, he has not been a good red zone coordinator. There's a million reasons for that. I don't know all of them. But I will say that that's a historical trend line. It's something to watch. Warren Sharp put that in his big behemoth football preview. And that's kind of something I had circled was, how does the red zone go here? You would think having a weapon like Jaden Daniels to help you run it sometimes or some of that read option action might help. You saw that big play right before Austin cyber kicked that game winning field goal was, you know, it was a good red option moment. So you think maybe they'll be better in that regard than they've been historically, but that's still still something that has to bear out. But long and short, I will take every metric you just said because that's their best chance to win. Their defense is not getting a ton better. I don't think there's a, there's a savior there. So the best way to have them play decently or what everyone to call it is that I haven't play. You know what I mean? It's to keep that football for as long as possible. O for six in the red zone, O for three and goal to go almost as maddening as O for six in the red zone offensively is on fourth down, excuse me, not on fourth down in the red zone defensively, I should say, they allowed three touchdowns to the Giants on three trips, knowing they didn't have a field goal kicker. I don't know that that necessarily makes it easier to get a stop. But my point is you can play this differently. You can make sure let's let them do whatever they got to do, but they're not going to get into the end zone when they get into the red area and high and low red zones because they don't have a kicker and we saw their punter miss an extra point already. O for three and goal to go. Giants were one for one. They just couldn't force them to have to try to even decide if they wanted to kick a field goal without a kicker, which made it that much more frustrating, I thought. But let's go to the game balls that will give out to the best gases to the worst from yesterday's first win of the season against the Giants. Daniel deserves the game ball here. Growth as a pastor, zero turnovers. We're going to start talking about this here as the show progresses, but passing is down league wide. 14 guys yesterday have the 30 quarterbacks that played did not throw for 200 yards in a football game. Gone are the days seemingly 400 yards, four touchdowns and, you know, Peyton Manning sit set in a record and Drew Brees breaking it the next day. We are in a down passing moment. So he ranks top 10 in a couple of categories. He's had the best start of any of the rookies that are playing at this point. And I thought there was legit growth question. Well, yeah, one is more than zero still it's it is a factor with the rest of the league is doing. I think it's critically important when we're talking about a player and Daniel's off to a good start. I thought his best half was the second half yesterday. Yeah, I thought the first half was a mess, not him necessarily, but the offense largely with the penalties and the timeouts and everything. And I thought it was a continuation of the bucks game, which was C minus, you know, see whatever you want to call it. I thought he was very good in the, in the second half of the game. So to me, he's played eight quarters, you know, four halves. He's had one excellent half and, and it won them the game yesterday largely, but I thought he was really, really good after halftime because he was a passer first. He was an NFL quarterback standing in the pocket, making throws. He could run if he needed to and he ripped a couple of those off, but I thought that was kind of the first half of football that looked like to me, what is the dream when you draft him number two overall, but not turning the ball over to your point. And I don't care about passing yards through two weeks or where he ranks or anything like that. No, they throw a lot of screens. They get a lot of yards after the catch. I care about things like, are you making the right decision as to throw it away? Take the sack. Or are you going to protect yourself or not and we'll get into that. He took a shot, but I thought yesterday, by and large, that was less of a storyline. Funny to say when he missed a snap because we'll get into that, but I didn't think it was as big of a deal. It wasn't a 16 carry game. Speaking of carries though, one guy that did have 16 carries, Brian Robinson, 17 rushing attempts for 133 yards. Brian Robinson, a career day. He had never had a 30 yard run. He did it twice yesterday, longest run of his career, most yards in his career. He made a comment after the game like, yeah, it's been a long time since I got 17 carries. He got 17 carries a third of the time last year. I don't really know what his point was there, but here's my point with Jaden Daniels in that backfield scaring the daylights out of a defensive coordinator, scaring everyone on the field. Brian Robinson's about to have the best year of his career. And he was awesome yesterday, Austin Echler, more, more, we just need more. He leads the team in receiving yards, leads the team in or second on the team, rather, in receptions. He had pretty good rushing totals yesterday, up eight for 38 overshadowed. Of course, by what Brian Robinson did with some of those explosive runs, but he was effective when he had the football on his hands per usual. This right now is their best offensive weapon. He can't overdo it because, you know, you're on the risk of him wearing down and not being the same guy in a few weeks or months, et cetera. But it's hard for me to imagine them having better options on offense right now than Austin Echler. Zachar, it's four catches for 62 yards led the team. He's second on the team in receiving yards through two games. I think he's their number one receiver for the short term here in terms of he'll be their most targeted guy. He's the guy that can stretch the field. Daniels completed his first couple balls of 20 or more yards this season yesterday and they were both to Earth's. One was on that kind of 50-50 ball near the sideline when he stood in, took a shot, made a throw. The other was a really nice job by him coming off of his, what looked to be his primary, seeing Earth's wide open at the second level and a lobbing a ball over a linebacker for 20. He was, no one was around him. He rumbled for four and fell forward. Four in 62 though. I think that's not only sustainable. I'd like to see more of it. But the middle of the field involves Zacherts. Take advantage of having a big catch radius, a weapon, a guy who can box defenders out. There's no reason he shouldn't be able to give you six for 70 most weeks. I believe when we fast forward a month from right now, if he's healthy, he'll be their leader in catches and yards the way things are developing for this offense. Go seven for seven and get yourself a game ball. Austin Seibert, congratulations, dude. That's pretty cool. That guy that didn't know if he was going to work again in the NFL, maybe ever or this season or whatever, just off his couch, probably at some local high school, kicking it by himself. Really, really cool steps in an NFL game, a divisional game, a home opener for a team that ends up coming down to your foot. An awful lot. You go seven for seven, wasn't 60 yarders, wasn't into some crazy wind or anything like that. But every kick that you had to make, you made it seven field goals is a big deal. I'll go one more. Benjamin Saint-juiced, forced the first takeaway of the season on a punch fumble, the old peanut punch, had three pass break ups as well. I thought he played very, very well.
