00:00Everybody said they wanted Ben Johnson, if Ben Johnson made the decision to put Montgomery
00:09in the game and take Gibbs out of the game, I'm glad we didn't get him.
00:13That's the dumbest move in the world.
00:15What about...
00:16Because, bruh, Gibbs is a problem.
00:20Gibbs is a combination...
00:21But they've done that all year, where they've been operating close.
00:23Yeah, but this kid just came off an injury.
00:26Gibbs had...
00:27The first play of the game, that was BS, because Gibbs had just put four or five touchdowns
00:31up for you in two games.
00:33Gibbs had 175 yards from scrimmage in that game with two touchdowns.
00:36He averaged well over nine yards of play or something.
00:42What I think...
00:44The dumbest sequence of events for Detroit, I think the play call and then the execution
00:49was probably worse.
00:51You are gashing, gashing Washington with Gibbs.
00:54Just absolutely killing them.
00:56They averaged nine yards of carry, 8.7 yards per carry.
01:00You get early in the fourth quarter and you decide to run a double reverse wide receiver
01:06throwback.
01:07Yeah.
01:08Which he should have never thrown.
01:09You're averaging nine yards a pop.
01:11You're in this game.
01:12Then Jameson Williams should never have thrown that football, but he's way out of his element.
01:17Don't put him in the position to make that decision.
01:20He's not a quarterback.
01:21Okay.
01:22If he had been a quarterback in college, let's say that, you can understand, because he knows
01:25how to throw it away or whatever.
01:27But I said one thing to you, and I say it a lot of times, once a team puts up touchdowns
01:34and they start to separate, I don't care who you are in this league.
01:40You can be the best of the best when it comes down to coordinators, you start chasing.
01:45And for Ben Johnson, he used some last play of the game.
01:50We got to get something done, get our trickeration in that game, because they were being beat
01:57by a team that was just beating you with their regular stuff.
02:00So he had to go in his bag, as they say, and going into his bag didn't work for him.
