Welcome back to the Minicam Show featuring Leni Monday Night Football Recap Edition.

Our first double header, we will be talking about both games.

Dominique, it's a tough night for Gino Nation.

Tough morning.

Tell the truth Tuesday. We'll get to that game. We're going to start with the first game, which was much better, much closer, exciting,

went down to the wire, two playoff teams from last year, the Bucks and the Texans. I had a lot

of trouble picking this game. I feel like every

single Texans game comes down to, are they going to be better at the line of scrimmage on

defense than they're bad on offense? Kind of was the story of this in some ways. Let's start with

the Bucks perspective, though. I think like what impressed you the most about this Bucs win?

I mean, I think Baker finding ways, and I don't want to just lean on clichés like that, but like the, some of the biggest place. Maxie, scrappy, he just scraps it out. He really, I know that we're like, I'm joking because it's obviously stereotypes, but the way he runs really does invite a lot of those adjectives.

He's like, you know, he's got a little bit of Kylo-Hurie. And the whole time, Troy Aikvitt is pointing out that he's not a good athlete. He's like driving home. He's like, he's really not that quick. He's not that fast. It's not a good athlete. but I think the point that I make it is

it is a cliche

and you're right it does it is the way that it looks

but it's also not just the way that it looks is the plays that he was making. And so many of the plays are free runners. And he turns it into a scramble. So, like, that's the part where it's like, this isn isn't this isn't coaching. This is like big like big moment somebody's being special. And I know we only like think about those like great quarterbacks as the guys who are able to do that because they're able to do it consistently is the thing why we think of that. Baker's not always been able to do that consistently. But he's put up some great numbers. And I thought that stood out to me. Honestly, if I'm being completely honest with you, the thing that stood out to me the most was, well, you want to start with the bucks, but it's like the Texans defense is scary. That's what jumped out to me. That plays into this, though, right? Because the Texas offensive line continues to be a train wreck. We'll talk about the offense. But it's not like Baker was sitting back there behind the books, offensive line at full strength. You had your center still playing left tackle. He had a good rep early on against DeNeil Hunter. I think it was for the touchdown right. And I thought, oh, wow, grand Barton holding his own whole buddy after

that it got ugly again and it's it's not his fault he should be playing left tackle he's an

amazing center and daniel hunter and will Anderson will Anderson was just cooking yeah I mean

I will Anderson it felt like got had like I think 10 pressures it felt like more in game. Texas defense was awesome. But yeah, so the flip side of that is like Baker Mayfield is not like he was playing in better circumstances. The one thing I think I would say he did have going for him that Stroud didn't was a run game. And that was another thing I wanted to highlight with the bucks. Those two backs, man,

who, Bucky, I mean, they closed, they called game basically with those two players. They had,

okay, so Bucky had a 59% success rate, Rashad White had a 70% success rate to put that in perspective, guys, anything over like 45 is very good in the NFL for running backs.

Duo runs, counter runs, both running with great vision, getting downhill.

Again, behind a makeshift offensive line, you'll lose.
