 But as up everyone, sorry it took so long for me to get going on the live today. Had some technical difficulties, had to restart my computer, capture card wasn't working, it was a whole ordeal, but I'm here, and of course we're gonna be talking about the Monday night game between the Jags and the Bangles. I have a really horrible record when it comes to predicting these Monday night games, but hopefully this one should be fairly, fairly easy, I'm gonna pick the Jags to win it. We'll talk about that game a little bit if you guys have any questions, but otherwise we're gonna be playing some more Madden. For those that are new, I started a franchiser, I guess a superstar career mode as a corner. I had a quarterback one going on two prior, but that one wasn't doing so hot, and someone in my TikTok comments suggested that I should do a defensive career. So we're trying that out, playing as a corner, got drafted to the Patriots. First couple of games were pretty tough, we played the Eagles and the Dolphins lost both of them, but by this much, I mean the margin was so small, both of which you can see here, one score games, 31-28 and then 30-26, just a really tough way to go out, but I mean, defensively we just have to play a little bit better, but those are some top notch it's really hard to make some plays. We got a pick in the last game, but Tyree Kill is a very tough cookie to crack, very tough guy to stop, but we tried our best. But we'll be going into the next game, and our goal is the same, to force turnovers, score maybe defensively if we can, Coach Walsh, like they say Coach Walsh wants to talk to me, I don't know what happened, cause he's not here. The real question is, the main things I think I want to improve is like, I press, maybe my block shedding, that might be something to work on, like the main things I wanna upgrade are the things that are useful as a user, like I'm putting my man in zone coverage don't actually do much because I'm in control, but things like catching, tackling, block shedding, press, hit power, those things all matter. So those are kind of the five main areas that I think I'll be focusing on. You know what, I'll up the hit power a little bit this time, cause that's the lowest one. So we'll try and get that up to par. But, hey, let's see what, nothing happened, Coach Walsh wants to talk to me and then nothing happened, what are we talking about? I'm only doing things that give me bonus, a billet plus two speed, it's kind of stuff we need, don't need the plus two man coverage, we'll do plus two press, cause I do wanna be able to get guys and press if I can, plus one speed, nice, nice. So we've got plus three speed going into this game against the Jets, doesn't get much better than that. It really doesn't. And in this world where I'm playing for the Patriots, Aaron Rodgers will still be healthy. So this will be interesting as we don't have to deal with Zach Wilson throwing us the ball, or I guess the Jets don't have to deal with Zach Wilson throwing the football. Why is the screen black? Why is this, why is the screen black? What, why is the screen? All right, so I've got to quit out of the game. Jesus, man. We'll give it another go, we'll give it another shot. That's insane. The screen was pitch black. What am I supposed to do about that? There's nothing I can do. We all know there's nothing I could have done there. Let's try again. Let's try again. Shall we? I think we shall. Oh, well there's Coach Walsh. What in the world? What, what in the world? Nah, bro, this can't be real. This can't be real life. This can't be real, this can't be, this can't, what, what? I can see, okay, we'll take it. I can see this game, dog, I swear. All right, they picked up the first down there on their first play. We're gonna send a little bit of heat off this side here, but we've got a bunch look. Oh, they're trying to hit the middle. It's open. That's not in the my zone, really. Maybe I could have handed it off a little bit better, but that's a tough, that's a tough play to make defensively. I've got deep thirds here, incomplete. Second down. Try to hit the short Texas route. We've got a quarter, quarter, half here. Again, they're trying to run this bunch looks a lot. They're taking a shot and they scored. Oh my God. Wow, that was a fast drive. Woo, okay. So our offense is gonna have their work cut out for them. They're gonna have to put points up on the board. And they don't. Not only do we give up quick points on the first drive, but we get smothered. But we put our defense in pretty good field position here, except I can't tackle worth a damn. Didn't we just upgrade? I upgraded my hip power. More cover three here. Trying to go like seven by one. Oh, okay. I thought he was gonna maybe take the shot to the tight end. Second down an inches here. After the short pass to Breeze Hall, we'll send a little bit more pressure. I know these good quarterbacks like Rogers, you don't really want to blitz them. But, oh wow, great play. Way to blow up that runs. Third down. Oh, because he was gonna break the tackle, he doesn't get the forward progress. That's huge. We're down in six here. This is risky to run a little bit of man coverage, but I am feeling a little bit ballsy. And oh, it didn't work out. Like the coverage was busted. We had guys open everywhere, but bad throw by Rogers gives us the ball back. And we got points on the board. That's what we like to see. Let's go. Got points on the board. Let's have a really good defensive drive here. Let's maybe force a turnover. Three deep here, we're sending a blitz. Trips on my side, low run and nowhere to go. Breeze Hall blown up in the back field. Hey, that blitz worked out. All right, they're doing bunch to the wide side. Oh, quick throw to the tight end. Gets close. They're down in two. I don't expect a, oh, empty Jesus. Well, let's just hope someone gets pressure. And yeah, it's just a super quick throw. Makes sense, that checks. Part of the deal here is that I don't actually call my plays. I just like go off the coaches, the coach suggestions. Cause I'm like I'm the corner. I'm not the coach. I'm not the defensive coordinator. You know, I just play what they tell me to play. And hopefully it's a good play. So I'll like pick from the list of three up top. And usually it's okay. There we go. I can't tackle at all. I'm so bad at tackling. It's embarrassing how bad I am at tackling. Oh man, they're throwing these quick, these quick throws. They're just snap, flip your hips, pop your shoulder, get the ball out. Like everything is so quick. What is he doing? What in the world? What is, what just happened? What just happened? What are I, hold on man. Let's, let's peep this, peep this shit real quick. I'm quite disappointed that it took us this long to get pressure. I mean, really, truly. It took us a long, I mean bro just stood here and it took that long to get pressure. Man, I don't know. I, I don't know. Anyway, second and 14, that's nuts. That's wild. There, there we go. Good tackle, third and 13. Obvious passing situation. Probably want to get it at least to the sticks, but maybe they don't. Maybe they won't. They've got three guys over to the wide side. Oh my God, they kill me on that corner route every time. They really do. They really do kill me on that corner. They've got me in the soft zone here, a little hard flat. I'm coming to help. And we give up another touchdown. Garrett Wilson, elite wide receiver. Hey, look at that, we score right back. You know what the deal is, three deep here. Ah, I tried to press the guy and I got cooked. I tried to press the guy and I got cooked. Now they've got me in man over here on number six in the slot. Okay, okay. They didn't get the first down, but they picked up yards. Second and one here. Can we expect a run play maybe? Short yarded situation, got Garrett Wilson over on my side. They're throwing it here. Quick throw to the tight end, big gain inside the 20. Not a good look, not a good look for me. Not a good look at all. Empty set, bunch on my side to the wide side. Quick throw to Garrett Wilson that is close to the end zone inside the five down at the three. This might be a heavy set here, yep. I'm not even in the game. As long as they don't throw it. They run it and we get a loss of yards there. Second and goal, okay. But it doesn't matter, they end up scoring. So do we, right before halftime, 21 to 21. This is a high scoring offensive game. Who would've thought, man? Another empty set here, got the running back to my side. How can I not, I can't tackle anyone, man. It's embarrassing. Hard flat here. Oh, aw man, I thought, I thought. I was like, he is not in position to make that catch. We can get a play there, we can get a play. Quarter's coverage here, oh, short pass, short pass. Not in field goal range, we're still good. They got one time out, 13 seconds. Oh, oh, big hit, nine seconds, fourth and five. This might just be an end zone shot. Oh, they're going for the field goal now. Let me ice these guys real quick. That's an insanely long, from the 46, are you sure? Oh, I almost got it, I almost got it. He almost made it, 46, it's plus 17, I think that's a, that's a 63 yard field goal, man, what are we doing? All right, coming out of halftime, we get scores. Oh, I don't even, I just said words there. We got points up, 28, 21 here. First defensive drive, oh, shoot. I can't tackle worth a damn. They got another first down. Got quarter, quarter, half here. I got deep half of the field, locked up. Oh man, great catch by Garrett Wilson there. Another first down. Rodgers is almost perfect, 19 of 23. Oh, we got Garrett Wilson here, one on one. Is it smart to press him? Probably not, I don't care, man. Second down and eight here, 20 of 24 for Rodgers. We're cooking, we're cooking. If we can just get a stop here, we're feeling pretty good. Another run, Breeze Hall breaks a tackle. Gets a pretty good gain out of what should have been a big loss of yards there. Can't be mad at that if you're the Jets. I don't think you can be mad at that. All right, I'm in the flats here. Waiting for anything short. Oh man, tough. That's a tough pill to swallow there. Another first down, I got three deep here. Should not give up anything. Oh man, tough. That is so tough to guard, because I have to guard the guy deep. Because I don't really have help outside, but then also to guard that deep out is just, it's a lot to ask. And then Garrett Wilson, another big play, first and goal inside the 10 yard line. Obviously that's what first and goal means. Sending a blitz here might not be the smartest play, but oh my God. Is that Garrett Wilson again? Another Garrett Wilson touchdown. Not loving the play calls here. There's a lot of like cover three blitzes, but we're still winning up 35-28. I feel like I'd like to see a little bit more too high cover two type stuff. That's okay, it's cool. Got a little bunch on this side. Oh, oh, what a pick, what a pick. Who has it? We have it? Okay, we got it. Christian Gonzalez, what an interception. They're reviewing, probably just reviewing if it was a fumble. It's still our ball, it doesn't matter there. Okay. So we got the turnover we needed, that's huge. Up 42-28 here. I've got pretty much Garrett Wilson one on one on the outside. We'll see what type of play they try and throw it. It's just a run. Pretty good game by Breeze Hall there. Not a lot of wiggle room, but he gets four. We've allowed 361 yards of total offense. Definitely not anything to be excited about, defensively, but we did get the interception and that's always good. Garrett Wilson's been shredding us. Yeah, eight catches, 97 yards. I think he has two touchdowns in this game. Invert cover two, look here. Oh no! The whole shot, the whole shot. What did they run there, like a wheel? Nasty. Nasty, and who else? Garrett Wilson. Cookin' us, man. Cookin' us. They're not out of it. We don't wanna get too complacent here. It's definitely not over. Oh, Roger's trying to run for it. Second down and three. At the six, no points. Oh, oh! Great play was that dugger that closed on that. Great play to close the whole shot. That was almost a perfect read, perfect throw. He dropped it! Oh my God, he dropped it. We got bailed. We got bailed out there. It's starting to look pretty good for us. 45, 31, they've got less than two minutes, but they do have all three timeouts. Just can't let up like a huge, huge touchdown here. Just can't let up anything crazy. That was almost it, that was almost game. That was almost game. They're moving guys around. Garrett Wilson's still over there. Oh, motion in the single back here. Okay, I made the tackle. It's nothing crazy, stayed in bounds down to a minute 30. Short pass to Breeze, keep him in bounds. Second and nine, that's what we like to see. Down to almost a minute flat. Oh, almost had the pick there. Almost had the pick there. Tried to force it up the sideline. Nothing there, nothing there, I took it all away. Oh please, oh he caught it. Who else, man? Who else other than Garrett Wilson? Who else? Oh my God, oh my God, why'd you move me all the way over there? Oh my God, now I kind of wish I had stayed over there. Jesus, no touchdowns here. Okay, okay. Another motion in guys. There's Garrett Wilson, moving into the slot. Watch him, watch him, third and goal. He's out of bounds, he's out of bounds there. Yup, this is it for the game. I can pretty much end it here with one more big stop. One more big stop. Rodgers, nowhere to go. Come on, get the stop. Empty set, oh my God. He found a guy. I can't believe that, McColl Hardman. Now they're gonna try the onside kick here. Oh my God, they didn't get it though. Okay, they didn't get it. We get the W, barely, but a win is a win. Jesus, trying to make me sweat. What is going on here, man? What? Tog, how many times am I gonna see this cutscene? This is crazy. I might have to restart my game. This is getting ridiculous. I was supposed to see that cutscene 45 minutes ago. We're acting like, what are we talking about? This is crazy. All I know is that we got the win. That's all I care about. Now let's see if I can load back into my career without it being a disaster. Ideally it doesn't break. Ideally. Are we all good? We're all good, all right. Now, okay, I was supposed to say now what, bro? Gotta get that plus two speed. Always gotta get that plus two speed. Ooh, oh, I want the plus two, catching our plus two block shedding. Let's do block shedding. Just so we can get up and get through those blocks easier. And then we'll take another plus one speed. Always gotta get faster whenever we can. And we're heading to the game against the Dallas Cowboys. This team, go toe to toe with anyone. But hey, so can we. We just beat the Jets with Rogers. We just beat, or we played pretty close with Philly and with Miami. I think both of those teams have some claim to be better than the Dallas Cowboys. No reason why we can't win this game too. Though, Dak is a baller. There we go, I was like, I can't see. What the hell's going on? Oh my God. Bro, Tony Pollard was about to go absolute beast mode on that play. I thought we were cooked. Oh, they got the stack set here, CD on the back end. Oh, good, good play there. Who was that that came up? Made the tackle immediately. Another Pollard, another big Pollard run. Crazy man, another big Pollard run. Got a little flat here. They're just gonna run it again, aren't they? Yup, they're killing us a little bit on the ground right now. Only a three yard gain there, but. All right, empty set here. I've got Brandon Cooks over on the outside. Oh, they're going to the other side, nowhere to go. Couldn't quite see where that was going, but it looks like probably to Pollard with peppers in coverage there. Again, Brandon Cooks over here. I'm in the flat. We'll see if they try that slot fade again. Probably not, CD, lamb in the middle. That's, I feel like we've played a really high level receiver every single week. We went AJ Brown and Devontae Smith week one, Tyreek Hill week and Jalen Waddell week two, Garrett Willson week three, and now CD lamb week four. I mean, it's just great receiver after great receiver after great receiver. That's just so hard to stop. I've got the flat here. Could be CD, they tried to go to it last time. No doubt, oh, I almost had a pick there. I almost had a pick there. Oh, I was, I knew it. I was like, they went to CD on that exact same look last time. If they go to it again, I'm jumping it. Oh my God, I was so ready for it too. I was so ready for it too. Fourth and five though. Okay, we hold them to three. That's a plus, that's a plus for sure. That's a plus for sure. All right, first down, let's send the blitz. They keep trying to run at us. Let's send a little bit of heat, try and get back at Pollard quickly. They run it again, not a whole lot of running room there. Only a yard to be found, second down to nine. Let's go a little cover three action here. Oh, they're going power eye look. They've got CD in the slot. Looks like they're throwing this time. Short pass, oh my God, Tony Pollard makes a man miss. Gets the first down. Jesus, that's just tough to stop. That is tough to stop, truly. They keep giving me the branding cooks, the branding cooks routes. A little Tampa two action here. I don't got anyone outside. I mean, what is this, 12 personnel? Oh, oh, I set the edge there. You gotta make the tackle. I blew up the edge, you have to make the tackle. Someone's gotta be there. All right, got cooks and CD over here. Another run, four yards there. Eight carries 51 yards and a touchdown already. It's only the first quarter. He's having himself quite the day on the ground here. Low cover three look. Don't get beat outside. I can't do much about that though. The middle of the field is, you know, that's gonna be tough for me to stop. And that's kind of the weakness in that coverage there. If anything comes underneath, it's mine. I was ready for it. I was ready for it, but they are inside the five, first in goal. They're taking me out of the game because we're gonna go heavy set here, try and get a goal line stop. Let's see if we can do it. Hey, we tie it up though. 14-all here, 14-all. Offense has been quite good. We just need to get a stop defensively. Just need a stop. This is embarrassing. This is embarrassing. For me, for everyone. All right, they're throwing it here. Oh my God, CD Lam is wide open. That's a huge play down the left side. Not a whole lot I can do about that. They've got CD on my side now. Cooks in the very inside slot. Oh no. Okay, second and two. They moved the ball well on us, all right. But we can finish it here. We can get a stop. I feel like a run to the wide side here is very likely no play action look. Short pass. Does he get the first? Ah, he did, first in goal. All right, we got Brandon Cooks and, how's that, Jalen Tolbert. And then CD down at the two, second in goal here. Probably gonna go heavy set now. Try and get a stop on the goal line. We don't, but again, the offense has come to play. 21 points. Just gotta get a, we need a stop, man. We haven't had one stop. Little run on the inside, blown up. Only two yards to be found there by Tony Pollard. Had a really good first quarter. Not a whole lot of room to be found since then though. Anything in the flat is all me. It's all me, but I can't stop that play. First down, I'm gonna do cover three with a hard flat here, but I feel like a run is very likely. It's not a run though. Short pass to the tight end once again. They did that same look earlier in the red zone. Oh my God, they've got the house formation out now. Obviously it's a run. Obviously it's a run. And they pick up a pretty decent game there. First down, clocks tick into around three minutes. Let's see what we can do here. Oh, oh, oh, I was right there. I was right there. I jumped that. I jumped that so well. That's my second play where I should have had a pick. I jumped it so well. Allow zone, that's not in my zone. That's not in my zone. Dog, that's not in my zone. Be so for real. Under two and a half minutes. Second down in one. If we could just get like one big stop before halftime. That's it, that's it, that's all we need. One big stop before halftime. Two minute warning. I'm ready for anything, honestly. I'm ready for anything. I can't be ready for that though. I don't know who the other hook curl flat guy is over there, but I can't guard that. I can't guard that. Hopefully our offense can do something before halftime. Oh my God, they got a field goal. I mean, that's pretty big to, you know, under a minute get any points out of there, but we didn't get anything after halftime, which is pretty big because now we're down. Oh my God, good defense there. Great defense. Second down in 10. Could really use a stop right about now. Killing us on the underneath stuff. Killing us on the underneath stuff. Put me in the flats, put me in the flats. If anyone can make the stop, it's me. Careful for CD on the other side. Okay, that was it. I flipped that at the last second and I think that was a really good call because that could have been a disaster if I didn't. Same thing here. There we go, there we go. They can't get it to CD, third down in three. Yeah, I think I'm just gonna try my best to bracket CD lamb and then whatever we can do on the other side, we will. Okay, screen pass, that's a good play. That's a good play. That's a good play call. They caught on. They caught on to me trying to bracket CD and they said, okay. We'll just run the screen. They're going, oh, trips tight end, looks CD in the slot. Expect a crosser over here. I'm ready for it. Oh no, quick pass, quick pass, that's right. They love these quick throws. Just dink and dunk. They have no fear to dink and dunk down the field and I respect it. I respect them for it. Brandon Cooks and CD here. Anything underneath, I've got it, but it's a run. Third and inches, third and so short. Man, it's definitely a run. Right, like it's definitely a run but they didn't call anything to, oh my God, they're throwing it here. No one underneath to make that play. Man, I was very confident that it was a run there. Short pass to Pollard, make that tackle, good play. Second down to nine. We need to force a turn over. We need to take the ball away. They got trips over here, CD by himself. Watch number two up the seam or underneath but I was mostly worried about him coming up the seam because that's the weakness of that cover three and the middle of the field, CD lamb, man. They are right behind our linebackers between the linebacker and the safety and there's just nothing we can do about that, it feels like. Oh, they're moving guys around now. Good coverage there, good coverage. They tried, they saw us moving around, they tried to move around, match us. We were just right there, we were dialed in. Love that. Oh no, I sold, I sold, I sold big time. I thought for sure it was a run, I thought for sure it was a run, I bit on the play action and gave up a huge touchdown and we don't score there, tough. So we're down two possessions and we have not had a stop all day. Not good, CD's over on this side, I'm coming the flats because they love to hit him on the short stuff. Hey, okay, not so bad, second and seven. Cover three, again watch number two up the seam and they hit CD underneath there, does get the first down, tough. More cover three here, they're going strong to the wide side, running it to the weak, interesting. Huge play, huge play. Oh my God, yeah, Pollard has three touchdowns so far, over 100 yards. So with the 13 personnel, am I trippin'? There we go, good coverage, good coverage there. They are getting hurt like crazy, they're dropping like flies right now but they keep marching down the field on us so I can't even say anything. Dak Prescott is finding the open guy. Good hit, good tackle, third and six. All right, we can stop him here. It's a pretty obvious passing situation. Oh no, I bit on the inside route, I bit on the inside route, I bit on the inside route. I've given up two touchdowns, this is so tough. Offense, please bail me out a little bit. Okay, we got points on the board at least. If we can get one stop, I'd feel a lot better. If we could just get one stop, I'd feel a lot better. Second and three, another first down. 450 total yards, we're getting shredded. And it's all just unlike check downs and drag routes. Did he complete that catch? I don't know, man. That ball popped out at the end. Did he complete that catch? More Pollard action. Oh my God, quads over here. Good coverage, second down to nine. I wish we could actually force a turnover. It doesn't seem to matter if we have the occasional good coverage play. Oh my God, I saw it too. And I'm like, there's no way I'm gonna get back there. I saw it too. And I'm like, yeah, he's completing that over the middle. Good hit, but he still caught the pass. And unless we can get a stop, I'm not feeling too confident about our chances to win this. Jesus, throwing to the offensive lineman now, like, and it works. All right, man, you've got it. Jake Ferguson, another touchdown. Yeah, dax like on the verge of breaking the touchdown record at this point, dawg. Actually probably not, but we're down 15. Let's see what we've got here. You know what I'm looking for. Oh, no, I was right there, no, oh my gosh. That's three times now where I've jumped it perfectly. That's insane. That's the third time I've jumped that and it didn't work. That should have been a pick six. Oh my God, because I know exactly what they wanna do. I know exactly what they wanna do in that look. That's my third, that's my third missed pick, third. All right, well, we made a third downstop, so we're gonna get the ball. We need to score here. If we score here, okay, okay, pretty quick score. Okay, one more stop, one more stop. Probably actually more than one more stop, but one stop right here at first. Let's take it one stop at a time. Jesus. Like cleaned his clock, like sideswiped him and then someone lifted him up, put him on the moon. Okay, yeah, this is the coverage that I want here. Oh my God, no, no. That's such a brutal play to give up. Another run, good, good, oh, okay. Do we wanna start calling our timeouts? I think I wanna take it to the two minute warning. I think I do, because I don't know how confident I feel that we get this stop here on second down six. Let's see, another run, what do I say? All right, now we'll start calling him. There we go. Okay, it's definitely a run, but I'm prepared for a pass. Okay, third and sixth. Normally I would feel this is a passing situation, but I still feel this is a run. It is, run to the right, that's game. That's game. Oh man, that's so brutal. That's such a brutal way to go. Just could not stop the run. Just could not stop the run, even a little bit. Couldn't stop anything, to be completely honest, but I had so many plays that I should have had, and I just couldn't finish the play, I guess. That's so brutal. 49 to 41, and it's not on our offense. They scored 41 points, they did their job. We needed to get one stop to give them a chance to go down and tie it up. We couldn't do that for them, and nothing else to say about that. I cannot believe, which drive was it in the fourth quarter where I should have had a pick six. They probably aren't even gonna have, they're probably not gonna have that recorded here. And it happened in the first quarter, too, that I should have had a pick six. Oh my God, yeah, they're not gonna have any of those plays here, because I didn't actually make the play. That's so tragic for me. But we're right there, we're right there. That's our third game this year where we definitely could have won, but we just gave up too many big plays. We couldn't really make enough stops. But hey, we're getting close. I think we're getting to a point where we will be making these plays shortly. It's just, it's so tough right now. It's so tough to make these plays right now. But we're getting there. Let's get the tackling up a little. Let's get the press up. Let's do our press coverage first. We'll go from there. Let's get press coverage up first. But thank you all for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed watching Monday Night Football between the Jags and the Bengals. Should be a ton of fun. Make sure you tune in next week, same time, same place, we'll be playing some Madden. Talking about that Monday Night game. But until then, again, thank you all so much for tuning in and I will catch you on.
