1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. Everybody, 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: what's going on? DJ Fucky here back together again. We 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: had I don't know if you know this, Buck, but 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: we've referred to RhE as our p VU, not pass breakup, 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: but our primary backup when one of us is is off. 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: We got we got our primary backup, Ratt filling in. 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: But it's nice to have you back. What's going on? 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: But man, not too much, Man, just the league is crazy. 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: But that weekend that we had a football I think 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: a chance to weigh in. But man, what a great weekend. 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing is everything is kind of crystallizing 12 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: when we get into the playoff pitcher. We're seeing the 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: defense's kind of step up. People are beginning to figure 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: out some of these offenses that we thought were unstoppable 15 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks. We're beginning to see 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: everybody kind of come back to the middle. And the 17 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: playoffs are going to be interesting because it's going to 18 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: be all about the matchups. I know we talked about 19 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: two or three teams being dominant, but I think we've 20 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: seen those teams show that fatal flaws. I don't know 21 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: if there is a dominant team in the league, one 22 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: that we can just kind of pencil in as a 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: Super Bowl front runner. Yeah, no doubt we're gonna get 24 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: into this, uh, this playoff picture. A little bit later on. 25 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: Also going to have a conversation I had with our 26 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: good buddy Matt money Smith, who's my partner there on 27 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: the Chargers radio call. With the Chargers Chiefs playing that 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: big game on Thursday night, we'll get a chance to 29 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: preview that one with money Um and uh before we 30 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: do that, though, but I think we kind of we 31 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: kind of have to begin with the end in mind. 32 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to go through this Seattle Minnesota game. 33 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: But following the game, just hot off the press here, 34 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: there's been a reaction to that game by the Minnesota 35 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: Vikings by their head coach, Mike Zimmer, and he has 36 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator. I mean John D. Philippo was 37 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: was fired, uh in the aftermath of that disappointing performance. 38 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: And I think it had been kind of brewing because 39 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: if you go back and you look at the last 40 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: four or five weeks, after every game, Mike Zimmer had 41 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: kind of talked about he would like to see him 42 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: running more. He wants to see the run game, and 43 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: every week he didn't necessarily see that progressing. And so 44 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: here they are sitting a six, six and one, still 45 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: enranged to make the playoffs. Because they're currently occupying the 46 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: six spot, Mike Zimmer made the decision to look, put 47 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: a plug on the experiment, try and figure out a 48 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: way to get this offense up and going. Because this 49 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: is a team that we all thought was going to 50 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: be one of the Super Bowl contenders and to watch 51 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: them fall flat with the amount of talent that they 52 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: have on both sides of the ball, is really really disappointing. Yeah, 53 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: the fascinating thing is if you look at Philly and 54 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: how they have struggled. You know, I think we've mentioned 55 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: I don't think they have scored a touchdown in ten 56 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: of their thirteen first quarters this year. Um, the issues 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: they've had and Carson Wentz you know, mechanically, I think 58 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: he slipped a little bit. It'll be interesting to see 59 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: if d Filippo immediately joins him. We've seen Hugh Jackson 60 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: get fired and go join the team in the middle 61 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: of the season. I wouldn't be surprised, even though like 62 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: the the Eagles have a tough road here if they're 63 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: gonna try and sneak in back door into the playoffs, 64 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: but they are technically still alive. I'm interest to see 65 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: if the if the Eagles end up bringing him back 66 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: in the building a meeting, that'll be something to keep 67 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: an eye on there. Yeah, there's something to keep an 68 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: eye on. Give Doug Peterson another set of eyes. Um. 69 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: But you wonder because like when you bring him back, 70 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: what do you bring him back? As you might grow 71 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: trying to make his way as the first year offensive coordinator. 72 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: Do Staley's your associate head coach? What does d Filippo 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: come in, What does he offer? How much pool this 74 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: way do you give him? It wouldn't make sense to 75 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: put him around and let him talk about the quarterback, 76 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: talk to the quarterback and see if he can fix 77 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback a little bit. But man, I just when 78 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: you've been losing a bunch of games, it's tough to 79 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: bring somebody else in who was supposed to know it all. Yeah. Well, 80 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what goes on there in 81 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: the future. About that game though, Seattle Minnesota, I haven't 82 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: watched it on tape yet. I was kind of coming 83 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: in and out. So I didn't see a ton of 84 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: this game. So I'll rely on you on this one 85 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: over there. But I mean, I the funny exactly was 86 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: that out? I said? I said, I did not I 87 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: see a lot of this game. I'm gonna get to 88 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: the tape, but I haven't had a chance to do 89 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: that yet. And a bunch of people said, don't bother, don't, don't, 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: don't waste your time, don't watch it. And it was 91 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: fascinating because you I need you to fill me in. Okay, 92 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: So I know, and Kirk Cousins has been known to 93 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: get some garbage yards late in the game, and I 94 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: and the bit that I saw in the game, he 95 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: was not playing well. Um, the stats are what they 96 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: are when you look at him in primetime games. Not good. Um. 97 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: But when I looked at the box score buck and 98 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: I see Russell Wilson through for seventy two yards, no 99 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: touchdowns in a pick for a thirty seven point nine rating. 100 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: And then I log on Twitter and Cousins is the 101 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: number one training topic and they're burying him, I mean, 102 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: just crushing him, and Russell Wilson is getting absolutely no criticism. 103 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here going, Okay, now you have to fill 104 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: me in. This is a good like a social exercise 105 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: here because you saw it with your eyes. I saw 106 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: the So what was the difference between the box score 107 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: and how it was interpreted from watching the game? Well, 108 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean it was the ugly game for both guys, 109 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson had an awful interception at the end 110 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: of the first half. I mean, the ball is at 111 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: the three yard line, they're going in. He scrambles around, 112 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: runs around, and he just throws it up and it's 113 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: picked off by Eric Kendricks. And in fact, Eric Kendricks 114 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: probably should have had a ninet our yard pick six, 115 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: but he kind of stumbled and got filled out. And 116 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: so really, the Seahawks played the way they play. They 117 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: run the ball, they run the ball, They run the ball, 118 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: they run the ball, and they wait for you to 119 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: make a mistake and their defense gives them opportunities to 120 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: cash in. And that's how they played the Minnesota Vikings. 121 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: The difference is they couldn't run the ball. And I 122 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: can't say that they necessarily would committed to it, but 123 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: they couldn't run the ball. And with Kirk Cousins, they 124 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: couldn't get open. There wasn't a lot of scheme creativity 125 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: to get Adam Feeling and Stefan Dicks open. And everyone 126 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: understands how the Seattle Shawks play. Everyone has seen the 127 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: answers to how you attack them. You have to run 128 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: will or rouse, so you've gotta be committed to the 129 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: one to check down. It's a very patient and deliberate game. 130 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, the Vikings couldn't settle into a 131 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: nice approach that allowed them to nickel and down the 132 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: defense until they were able to hit him with a 133 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: shot down the field. And Kirk Cousins wasn't great, and 134 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: those money down situations, he wasn't good down, He wasn't 135 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: getting the red zone. And the last drive is when 136 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: he kind of put together some yards with him to 137 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: get a garbage touchdown. And so it just wasn't a 138 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: good It just wasn't a good performance, not necessarily from him, 139 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: but from the offensive coordining to John D. Philippo just 140 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: didn't have any answers. In a game like that, you're 141 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: looking for your coach to give you an answer to 142 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: the to the to the test. I do find it, uh, 143 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: I do find it somewhat funny and look, I'll be 144 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. On on Kirk Cousins, I mentioned that 145 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: the numbers in those big stage games have been good. 146 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: You can't defend that. And you know, just from listening 147 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: to you, he wasn't at his best in this ballgame either. 148 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: But man, they the people that bang on him for 149 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: the contract he signed him. Like, the funny thing is, 150 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: you know who's not banging on him for the contract 151 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: he signed? The fellow players around the NFL because this 152 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: dude used the system to his advantage and was really 153 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: the blueprint for players to follow going forward so they 154 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: can make as much money as possible. He wasn't paid 155 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: that much money because he was the best quarterback in 156 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. He was paid that much money because he 157 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: was the best quarterback in the NFL that was available. 158 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: That's the difference. So basing on him for the money 159 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: he's making, I just don't get on board with that. No, 160 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: And I think what what happens unfortunately for him, people 161 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: can never separate what he's making from what he is 162 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: as a player. Like we can all say they look 163 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: because I actually thought it was it was going to 164 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: work out for him in Minnesota, because it was the 165 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: best situation, best supporting cast, run game, talented wide receivers 166 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: on the outside, that he was just gonna be able 167 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: to drive the bus and win a lot of games 168 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: and everything would be fine. I think the issue was 169 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: not necessarily Kirk Cousins. I really don't believe the offensive 170 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: coordinator did a good job of really put him in 171 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: a situation to beat at his best. Um. I think 172 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: if we talked about Kirk Cousins, Kirk Cousins is above 173 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: a man in Gerio type, but he's not necessarily someone 174 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: that you want to put the entire game on. And 175 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: I felt like with the Vikings, they were calling the 176 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: game for him to be everything. And if they had 177 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: been able to run the ball, and I know the 178 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: offensive line and struggle, but in a perfect world, I 179 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: think the Vikings should be able to run the football. 180 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: Let Kurt Cousins throw complimentary action passes through at twenty 181 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: five to thirty two times a game, and I think 182 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: everything is good. The defense sets them up, they win games. 183 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: They don't become the New Orleans Saints. So the Rams 184 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: were just going thirty eight points a night. They are 185 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: a team that can score twenty eight to thirty but 186 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: win a lot of games. And I don't think anyone 187 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: would talk about Kurt Cousins in that role because I 188 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: really think that's how his game is suited to play. Yeah. No, 189 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: I think you bring up a lot of good points there, Buck, 190 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: and kind of gets us to the overall big picture 191 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: here playoff picture in the NFC, and as it stands 192 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: right now, the Saints. After the Rams loose to the Bears, 193 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: the Saints back with that number one overall position over 194 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: the Rams, the Bears there at the three seed, that 195 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: nine and four, The Cowboys look like they have a 196 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: pretty firm grip there on the NFC East they should 197 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: win that. They're eight and five, Seahawks eight and five 198 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: as a wild card, and the Vikings they're still there 199 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: even as bad as that was. That's why they made 200 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: a change to fire the coordinators, see if they can 201 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: find their right mojo with Kevin Stefanski. Uh going forward. 202 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: Who's a young coach that I really like when I've 203 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: got a chance to know him a little bit. Uh 204 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: at some of these All Star game environments. He's coached 205 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: the East West Game, I believe a couple of times, 206 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: and Uh, we came away and pressed just meeting with him, 207 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: so he'll have a chance. Now, see if you can 208 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: get that offense fixed. But this Vikings team, all you 209 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: gotta do is punch your ticket. Once you punch your 210 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: ticket to the postseason. If you've get things figured out, 211 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: if you can get it figured out, you've got a 212 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: punchers chance. That's all you can ask for. That's all 213 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: you want to get into. The only thing you're trying 214 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: to do is you're trying to get into the ball. 215 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: If you can get into the ball, everyone is dancing 216 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: to the same beat, and you have a chance. And 217 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: no one everybody, zero and zero. No one wants to 218 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: deal with the Minnesota Vikings. Trust me, no one wants 219 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: to do it at defense. They don't want to do 220 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: with Mike Zimmer throwing up all kinds of exotic blitzes 221 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: and attacking you. The thing that they have to figure 222 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: out is they got to figure out an identity offensively, 223 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: really really quickly. And I think the best way to 224 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: do it is to look at the players that you have, 225 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: whether the best routes individually for Digs, Feeling and Rudolph. Okay, 226 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: let's make that the basis of the passing game. Then 227 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: what are the best runs for Dalvin could build the 228 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: running game around Dalvin Cook, what does he do well, 229 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: and then figure out the rest of it. But they 230 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: have to make sure the ball gets in the hands 231 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: of their best players more times than not, because that 232 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: is the way they do going to win games. Yeah, 233 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: the Vikings, they come back with the Dolphins at home 234 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: this week, they go on the road against the Lions. Look, 235 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: they should win those two balls. Those are two games, 236 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: and then it sets up for a very interesting situation 237 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: because the last game of the year, they're at home 238 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: against the Bears. Now, this is a team they lost 239 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: twenty on the road Chicago in that prime time game 240 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: and they're not play well. With still a close football game, 241 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: they get him at home, and at that point in time, 242 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: remember the Bears are the three seed. They might be 243 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: locked into that seed because there are a couple of 244 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: games behind the Saints and the Ramps. They might be 245 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: locked in at number three. They might be resting guys 246 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: at that point in time, which could gift wrap the 247 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: sixth spot, which would then guarantee the very next week 248 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: they would play the next week and the and the 249 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: Vikings would go on the road to take on the bar. 250 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny by that if I'm if I'm 251 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: Matt Naggy, if that's the situation that plays out for 252 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: Week seventeen, I am trying to knock them out, trying 253 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: to beat them. I'm trying to beat him. I am 254 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: trying to knock him out. I don't want to have 255 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: to play them in the first round again, because it's 256 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: one of those things three times a division rival, they 257 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: know you better than anybody else. Yeah, I don't want 258 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: to take this. So if it comes down to that, 259 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: I am doing everything in my power would to knock 260 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: them out, and and I'd rather face somebody else in 261 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: the Pro season. If the if the season ended right now, 262 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: the four or five wild card game would be the 263 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys in the Seahawks Buck. Who would you like in 264 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: that game if they were to play tomorrow. I would 265 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: take the Cowboys because I think the Cowboys defense is better. 266 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: But don't hold me to it. I mean, yeah, I 267 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: think it's a game. I would go with the Cowboys 268 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: because they would be at home and that one. I 269 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: think they have a little bit more firepower offensively. But man, 270 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, I'll take Russell Wilson 271 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: every day of the week, especially with all of his 272 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: postseason experience. That'd be a dangerous game for the Cowboys. 273 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: They could be one and done. They could be, But 274 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: I think the new carbon copies. I think those that 275 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: achieved it, they don't want to match. But I think 276 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: for entertainment value, I would rather see those teams not 277 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: have to face each other. I would rather see those 278 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: teams face two of the other teams and let's get 279 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: that compelling high powered offense versus defensive matchup. Guys are 280 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: terrible at taking care of their health, whether it's a 281 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: knee injury, bad back, or something worse. Guys are usually 282 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: more comfortable rubbing some dirt on it than seeing a doctor. 283 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: The same is true for a rectile dysfunction. Studies show 284 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: seven percent of guys who experience e D don't get 285 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,599 Speaker 1: treated for it.

Here looking at their playoff picture, 302 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: big game on Thursday night. I'll be their Chiefs and Chargers, 303 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: and man, what a what a lot at stake? Now, 304 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: if the Chiefs, even if they lose this game, they 305 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: still own the tiebreaker. They would both have the same record. 306 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: They would have split their games. But the Chiefs have 307 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: a better division record because the Chargers blew that lead 308 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: against Timber Broncos and that would be their two division losses, 309 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: the first game that you're against the Chiefs and that 310 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: game against the Broncos. So the Chiefs are undefeated in 311 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: the division. Even if they had the same record, they 312 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: would win the division would be the one seed. The 313 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: Chargers would end up being the five seed. However, the 314 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs if the Chargers somehow miraculously going there beat them 315 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: on a short week, the chief stend we have to 316 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: go and take on the Seahawks on the road that 317 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: we were just talking about. Seattle is a very tough 318 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: place to play. If somehow the Chiefs lose that game, 319 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: then the Chargers could go from the fifth seed to 320 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: the one seed. So this game is huge here on 321 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: Thursday night, in a game where both teams are a 322 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: little bit beat up. Man, I'll tell you what, the 323 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: Chargers not having their top two running backs is what 324 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: it looks like. No Melvin Gordon, no Austin Ekeler. That's 325 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna put a lot of pressure on Philip Rivers against 326 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: a very good pass rush. It has put a lot 327 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: of pressure on Philip Rivers. Um, I'm gonna say this first, 328 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: I think the Charges of the will positioned to win 329 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: the a f C West. I didn't think about them 330 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: getting the number one seed, but I do believe there's 331 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: a road for that to happen. Um, this team, I 332 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: know they've lost nine in a row to the Chiefs, 333 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: and you know it's been a difficult road. But when 334 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: you look at teams in terms of the teams that 335 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: really can win the Super Bowl, you'd like to have 336 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: the most balanced teams. I think you can make the 337 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: argument that the Charges of the most balanced teams of 338 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: all the teams in the field. They have an offense, 339 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: they have a franchise quarterback, they have a running back 340 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: in Melvin Gordon. Austin Ekeler also gives them contributions on defense. 341 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: They have pass rushers, and then you have Derwin James 342 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: and their crew in the back end. You can make 343 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: the argument that this is the best team in the 344 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: a f C. And I know we get caught up 345 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: with the glitz and glamor of the kand C Chiefs, 346 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: but we've seen this team is different when they don't 347 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: have Kareem Hunt. We have also seen that their defense 348 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: isn't really a lockdown defense. The Charges can went on Thursday, 349 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: and I think if they went on Thursday, it gives 350 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: them a perfect road to be the number one seed 351 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: in the A f C. Be careful. I think this 352 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: the l A almost as any of the l A 353 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: Charges A well positioned to be the number one seed. Well, 354 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: I'll bring in our conversation and my conversation with with 355 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: Money here in a minute, and then go a little 356 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: bit deeper. Even on that game, when we look at 357 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the a f C. The Patriots there 358 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: at nine and four, the Texans nine and four. Man, 359 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: that was a big loss for the Patriots down there 360 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: in Miami because now they're in danger if they do 361 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: drop a game. Now you're looking at them losing the 362 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: two seed, losing a bye, and knowing they're gonna have 363 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: to go on the road the second week of the postseason. 364 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: We don't see that very often from this Patriots team. 365 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: They lock in, they play at home, and they're very 366 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: difficult to beat up there in Foxboro in the postseason. 367 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: So that's something to keep an eye on. The most 368 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: fascinating thing to me, Buck a f C North, Okay, 369 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: work with me on this, the Steelers. Let's look at 370 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: the Steelers who they played next their next two games, 371 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: Patriots and Saints. Okay, I think they can lose both 372 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: those football games pretty playoffs. So they've given a weight, 373 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: they've given away all of their cushion that they're not 374 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: going to five straight losses that they would be they 375 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: would be seven seven and one. If that's the case, 376 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: you know who else could be seven seven and one 377 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: two weeks from now? The Cleveland Browns. And then you 378 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: look at Baltimore and Baltimore's next two games. Okay, they 379 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: have Tampa at home. On paper, Tampa is not a 380 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: good team. How well Tampa can score points. Tampa has 381 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: a chance to win that game, a puncher's chance if 382 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: nothing else. Okay, you can't. You can't just sleep walk 383 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: through the game. I mean, this is a team to 384 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: beat the same the first week of the second so 385 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: we know they're capable if somehow, we'll say that happens. 386 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: Then they go take on the Chargers on the road, 387 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: which is kind of a that's gonna be a great game, 388 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: but that's a game that the Ravens could lose. The 389 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: Steelers could lose too straight. There's a chance the Ravens 390 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: lose two straight. And the schedule is very friendly for 391 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: the Browns to win two straight, which puts them in 392 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: position the very last week of the season. Buck lo 393 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: and behold, who did the Cleveland Browns finish up the 394 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: season with? After let's say they go on the road 395 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: and beat the Broncos and the Bengals. They're at Baltimore. 396 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: They're at Baltimore and potentially winner take all in the 397 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: a f C North. Now they would need I think 398 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: they might even need Pittsburgh to drop one extra game 399 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: beyond those two. Um, because uh, Pittsburgh has will have 400 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: a I think it's a better conference record. It goes 401 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: to the tiebreakers. Um. But it's all I'm saying is 402 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: Cleveland's alive, which is nuts to say that at this 403 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: time of the year. They're playing well, and I think 404 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: anyone who has been looking at the Browns, man Freddy 405 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: Kittens has been very good with his creativity. They were 406 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: basically running wing team plays to Jarvis Landry. He scored 407 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: a touchdown. They had a fifty yard run. Baker Mayfield 408 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: is playing great since flipped. Freddy Kitchens is taken over 409 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: as the play caller. They're just using all the weapons. Man. 410 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: We even saw pairman come over from the Baltimore Ravens. 411 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: They picked him up off the scrap. He put him 412 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: on the field. He caught a big pass. I had 413 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: checked who was that. I didn't realize he was there. 414 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: Number number nineties, like unbelievable. They're doing a really good job. 415 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: They're will positioned to make a run and kind of 416 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: swipe the division title. And you just wonder if they 417 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: just could have closed out some of those games early. Man. 418 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: But you know what this is playing out to be right. 419 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: You know Greg is going to be the next coach. 420 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: You know Greg Williams is going to be the next coach. Okay, 421 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: you heard it. You heard it here first. You heard 422 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: it here first. Greg Williams will be the kid the 423 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: head coach of the Cleveland Browns in nineteen. It's gonna happen. Okay, 424 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: all right, thanks done, deal, put it into I'll tell 425 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: you what. I'll tell you what they better. They need 426 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: to win this week against the Broncos for that to happen. 427 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: Put it in they do. Look, it's already close. Put 428 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: it in, pen, Put it in pan, Greg Williams on, 429 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: hold on, I have a pen head coach. Um. Let 430 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: me see here, Buck, I've got it here. But I'll 431 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: be putting it in because you're not gonna be able 432 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: to do it any other way. You're not gonna be 433 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: able to do it any other way. You're not going 434 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: to be able to do Freddy Kitchens with another offensive 435 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: guru coming in. Too many egos in the book. You, No, 436 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: you can't have any. Freddy Kitchen doesn't have an ego. 437 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: Come on, Oh no, the country, he's out country. The 438 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: offensive minded head coach has an ego. He's going to 439 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: the guys that they're talking about bringing in as a 440 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: freedom Now it's freedom up to get a defensive coach. Now, 441 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: I just keep Freddy, we're good. But they already have, 442 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: they already have. Yeah, he's not going to get that job. 443 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: Let's do a lunch. I'm telling you, it's it's a 444 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: done deal.

Uh man? From our scouting days. I'm trying 464 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: to add this up. So eight years I was eight 465 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: years as a scout. I've been five years with the network, 466 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: so that's thirteen year period. And you've been when that 467 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: even longer that but over a thirteen year period. So 468 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: if you're doing that, uh four times, will say four 469 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: times every combine four times thirteen is a lot. I'm 470 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: not good at math. But that has a lot of 471 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: non invitations coming to your podcast partner right there. That's 472 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: all I'm saying about it a lot because DJ you know, 473 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. What's funny about it?

Maybe we can 475 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: get some gifts, cars and now we're talking about a 476 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: sponsorship deal with something. But a lot of times I 477 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: go in there like fully sweated out, like I'm not 478 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: dressed up, I'm not dressed appropriately. I mean, I mean, 479 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in there. I'm in there slumming, sitting 480 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: at the bar, I'm watching the game, and I just 481 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: sit there and I alternate between like two or three dishes. 482 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: I'll get the filet with the chicken. Don't sleep on 483 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: the chicken. That was next. I'll get the chicken, and 484 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: then I'll get the pork chop. I'm always going to 485 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: get a veggie. But then the last thing I leave 486 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: on the side to the left. I leave the sweet 487 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: potato castle roll to the left. Like that is almost 488 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: that is almost like a dessert type item for me 489 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: every time. And so you know when we get per diem, 490 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: the whole per Diem goes to like during the day, 491 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm starve.

He loves to go get a 499 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: very nice dinner and uh I had a chance to 500 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: visit with him about the biggest game of the NFL weekend, 501 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: a game will be together calling here UH in the 502 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: Chargers broadcast booth. But it's our good buddy, Matt money Smith. 503 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: What's going on? Money? How you doing? Man? Doing alright? 504 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: Getting ready for that little short week hatching trip to 505 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: Kansas City. Something We talked about an awful lot over 506 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: the course of the weekend and how maybe things could 507 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: play out to benefit the team that UH in which 508 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: we are employed by both the gonna be out there 509 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: in Kansas City Collins game for the Chargers and their broadcast. 510 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: And I spent some time money watching the uh watching 511 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs of this last week against the Baltimore Ravens 512 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: and dug into that tape. It was It was pretty 513 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: interesting because the thought has always been you've got to 514 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: get heat on on Mahomes to try and get him 515 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: frazzled a little bit. The Ravens were able to do 516 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: that and didn't matter. He made some of the most 517 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: incredible throws. The fourth time, it may be the best 518 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: throw I've ever seen. I don't know that I've seen 519 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: a better throw. The degree of difficulty. When he's rolling 520 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: to his right, there's one player on his team on 521 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: the right side of the field and he's double cover. 522 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: There's nowhere to go, so he has to go the 523 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: opposite direction. Even when he's starting to make the throw, 524 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill hasn't even really fully wheeled around to come 525 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: back towards him across his body and I think there's 526 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: three defenders in the area of believable. There's two in 527 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: front of him, there's one behind him. I mean, it 528 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: was just it was just an incredible throw. But the 529 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: thing that was interesting in that game we actually ended 530 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: up charting it, and uh, I was curious, because the 531 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: Ravens can generate so much pass rush and so much heat, 532 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: what would they do when they try and keep guys 533 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: in or would they get guys out? And forty seven 534 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: of the fifty five times as they dropped back to 535 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: throw the football, it was at least four men out 536 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: in the route, five men out in the route. Thirty 537 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: times they only had three guys out uh three times 538 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: the entire the entire time, So they are going to 539 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: try and just get weapons out and their trusting Pat 540 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: Mahomes get the ball out of his hand, and he 541 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: did it, and he took some shots, and I think shots. 542 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: That's kind of the one thing that I think could 543 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: play into the Chargers favor is you know, I believe 544 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: in and you'll you'll correct me if I'm wrong. I 545 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you know off the top of your head, 546 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: but I do believe. The Chargers have followed the Ravens 547 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: three times this season. They have won all three of 548 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: those games. Physical affair. That's the thing is, you know, 549 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: you always hear players talk about it, you know, and 550 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: that's Sunday to Sunday. You'll hear him say, well, I'm 551 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: still feeling it from last week when it's a physical game. 552 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: Well now you got Sunday to Thursday, and you got 553 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: an extra quarter. So not only did you play the 554 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,239 Speaker 1: most physical team in football, but you played them for 555 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: five quarters instead of four. And that's got to have 556 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: some sort of carry over. Whether or not the Chargers 557 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: can take advantage that, I don't know, But in the 558 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: previous three meetings, I believe they followed the Ravens to 559 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: the Browns. They followed the Bravens, the Ravens to the Titans, 560 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: and I want to say there was one more that 561 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: they followed the Ravens. They want all three of those games. 562 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: The challenge, though, is this is a Kansas City Chiefs 563 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: team that not only you can make a case has 564 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: has owned the Chargers. They've they've owned the rest of 565 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: this division for a while now. They have just been 566 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: dominant inside the division and specifically against the Chargers. And 567 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: the challenge going on on on a tight week. I 568 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: know they're a little bit beat up Kansas City from 569 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: that game, but the Chargers perspective, you don't know if 570 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna get Melvin Gordon, you don't know if Foston 571 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: Neckler is gonna play. You could be down your top 572 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: two running backs. And even though it was a physical affair, 573 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and getting any slower on a short week, 574 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: so you're still gonna have to deal with that. So, uh, 575 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big challenge for them on the road. 576 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: To me, I look at it money and I think 577 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: the key to this game, uh, from the Charger standpoint 578 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: is you have to generate some turnovers. You've got to 579 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: get them homes poked the ball out, You've got to 580 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: force fumbles. Um, you've got to come up with an interception. 581 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: This is a Chargers team we talked about on the 582 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: broadcast the other day, uh that both starting corners, you 583 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: have to intercept the ball. It would be a good 584 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: time to find a way to get that done because 585 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: I think if it's a clean sheet for both teams, 586 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: I don't think the Chargers win this football game. They 587 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: have to find a way to get some turnovers. You know, 588 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: it's the first game. Is just so it was such 589 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: a weird game, and it was the first game of 590 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: the year, and that happens a lot. You think about 591 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: the Saints losing to the Buccaneers in the first week 592 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: of the season, but you know they lost by ten. 593 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: It was thirty eight. Fourteen of those points were on 594 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: special teams. You know, you had a ninety yard punt 595 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: return by tyree Khill from a punter that's no longer 596 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: on the team who I can tell you from you know, 597 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: being there last year and you obviously know routinely out 598 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: kicked his coverage and was more interested in gross punting stats. 599 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: Than anything else works both ways of that exactly right. 600 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: And uh, and then you had a an undrafted free 601 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: agent whose name I can't even remember now who open 602 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: the season is their punt return or rookie who fumbled 603 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: the balls? J J. Jones J J. Jones. There you go, 604 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: who felt there's so many JJ's on our team Jackson 605 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: Justin Jones J J. Jones who fumbled the ball at 606 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: the three I forgot. I had totally forgotten about that. That 607 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: That is fourteen points in a thirty eighty eight game. 608 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: Not to mention the drop passes. That to not drop passes, 609 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: and now I sound like the total Homer broadcast, but 610 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: drop touchdowns, I mean not drop passes, but Tyrrelle Williams 611 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: who dropped two touchdowns. There was Travis Benjamin dropped one 612 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: on an outside rout on that sideline. It was. It 613 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: was just an odd game. So it's really hard to 614 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: take away anything from the Charger's perspective of what you're 615 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: trying to figure out happened in that first meeting between 616 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: these two teams. Well, it's gonna be it's gonna be 617 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: fascinating to see what goes on. The other thing, I 618 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: would say, Key to this ball game is which which 619 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: set of EDG dressers is gonna get loose? Because you know, 620 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: we get a chance to see Bosa and Melvin Ingram 621 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: do their thing. But then you look at what what's 622 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: going on now with Kansas City now when they have 623 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: justin Houston healthy and what he does complimenting what they 624 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: already had with that's a challenge. And we've seen tam 625 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: Sam Tevy get beat a little bit, get beat inside, 626 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: and then you go inside and you've got to worry 627 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: about Chris Jones's having a fantastic year working on the guard. 628 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: So I think you can make a case when you 629 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: look at the defensive lines for both teams and you 630 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: match them up with the offensive lines for both teams, 631 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: I'd give the defensive lines for both teams in advantage, 632 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: so we'll see who can who can capitalize on that. 633 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: Just kind of thinking back to last season when we 634 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: were in this exact same position a Thursday night football 635 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: late in the season at Arrowhead. It was freezing cold, 636 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: and I think what you started this conversation with is 637 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: ultimately what the key to that one was. They had 638 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: a chance to get a turnover, two turnovers early in 639 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: that game, they didn't get them. It was a muff 640 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 1: punt that they ended up not getting. There was an 641 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: interception that should have been that was dropped. And when 642 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: they weren't able to kind of take advantage of those 643 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: two misques, Uh, that was it. It was over. They 644 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: ran away with it. Philip started throwing some interceptions because 645 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: he was trying to get the team back into it. 646 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: And that's that's the other I think, you know factor 647 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: here is if they an't score early, which they have 648 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: struggled to do. You know, they strolled to do it. 649 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: It's a Steelers struggled to do it against the Cardinals. 650 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: That's when things can start getting away from you without 651 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon back there, and Philip starts trying to force 652 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: things to put the team on his back. Um. The 653 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: one thing I'll say, just kind of coming out of 654 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati game, you and I talked after it, Um 655 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: and and you kind of asked me what my takeaway was, 656 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: and I thought about it more and and I do 657 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: believe it. And I don't think it's because you know, 658 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm part of the Charger broadcast, but I think that 659 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: was a great game for their special teams that has 660 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: been embattled all season and all of last year. To 661 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: have a kicker, you know, at that particular position going 662 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: back to start a seen just be a punch line. 663 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: I mean not even just how do we think, but 664 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: a complete punchline. For this team to have a guy 665 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: boot a fifty nine yard or at the half and 666 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: then a forty five yarder to extend to lead to 667 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: five and force a touchdown to win a game. I 668 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: think it's fantastic for a team that's been in a 669 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: lot of tight games going into the postseason as well. 670 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: And our brother, our buddy Chris Harry had an interesting 671 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: tweet and you know, I don't know why. I guess 672 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: because last week and seeing how the weird game or 673 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, I should say against the Steelers and 674 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: the miss that we can question whether or not it 675 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: was a miss before they end up hitting the game winner. 676 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: But man actually one on extra point, so he's missed 677 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: one of those fourteen and fifteen on field goal attempts, 678 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: including a fifty nine yard or. I mean, this is 679 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: actually a strength for the Charges right now. Who would 680 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: have thunk it? And that's I think what now can 681 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: be the focus? And I just love the story just 682 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 1: quickly to kind of put a rap on it for me. 683 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: The story coming out of that game from Coach Lynn 684 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: that I believe he said that the best way I 685 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: can describe it is that that that Batley was pulling 686 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: on the tail. Coach, I want it, I want it, 687 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: I want it, And that's what you love to see. 688 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's a rallying point for this team 689 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: because they know that's what's kind of unraveled them last 690 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: season and early in this season, that that's what allowed 691 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: things to get away at missed extra point against the Rams, 692 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: and you know, you scored touchdown to even things up, 693 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: and you're like, here we go again, missing at the point, 694 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: we're in a hole again. Um. So to have that, 695 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna help his team a lot. Well, 696 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun Thursday night in Kansas City. I 697 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: know you get in uh late, You're coming in one, 698 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: so you no no dinner for us tonight, Before dinner 699 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: for us, you'll be out with the I believe you're 700 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: going to a fancy barbecue spot with all the writers. 701 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: But I'm not opposed to a little barbecue lunch.
