It's exciting. It's Thursday, Thursday night football. 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: We got a Jaguars in Cincinnati Bengals. But what should 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: be exciting to watch? Get a chance to see if 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: the Beings are mature enough to take care of business 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: or if the Jaguars can get off of eighteen games slide. 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: And then we got a great weekend of football, like 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: a great weekend of NFL games to kind of see 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: everyone to talk about Brady returning. I've kind of likened 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: it to a Star Wars deal whereas Obi Wan Kenobi 13 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: dealing with Anakin dark Vader, because Brady is going to 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: the dark side, so we can see how that happens. 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: And that's some other games. The Monday night game, I 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: mean with Raiders Chargers, and it's good man, it's a 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: good weekend of football weekend.

So there's a 64 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: lot of fun. Hopefully we continue to keep taking it 65 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: up and not and on it that way. Um So, yeah, 66 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: it's great, all right. Before we get to the Thursday 67 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: night game with the two number one overall pick quarterbacks, 68 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: we don't get some thoughts on that, just real quick. 69 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman gets a one year deal two point to 70 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: five million with the Bucks. I mean to me my opinion, Buck, Look, 71 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: they gotta get healthy upfront and uh and once they're 72 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: healthy upfront with all those four I think Richard Sherman, 73 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: you know he can, he can have an impact there 74 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: and what they do. But they are a front to 75 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: back dependent group. I think we've said that multiple times 76 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: on here. Yeah, it's all about the pastors. It's all 77 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: about what they're able to do upfront. And Toy Bowles 78 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: has taken the approach that if we're struggling in the 79 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: back end, I'm gonna fixed it back in by the 80 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: way that we pressure up front, We're gonna bring a 81 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of pressure. We can put h the burden 82 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: on the quarterback to make good decisions under the rest 83 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: and hopefully we create more mistakes than the plays we 84 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: give up, and we'll make it happen. I think what's 85 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: different about this situation because normally, my uh take with 86 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman coming in would be like, hey, he's gonna 87 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: have the young set can nearly hip and win, but 88 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: already won the Super Bowl, a Super Bowl winner. So yeah, 89 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: this is uh kind of like Richard Sherman getting in 90 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: where he fits in? What role can they carve out 91 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: for the veteran on the island. He's not necessarily a nickel. Um, 92 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: they can reshape the nickel or maybe they kick somebody 93 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: else inside. He kind of comes in and plays on 94 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: the outside when they're fully healthy, but just trying to 95 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: figure out where they are because I thought this was 96 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: a good young secondary win healthy they just have been 97 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: I mean victimized and plagued with a bunch of injuries. Yeah, 98 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: and no doubt they get healthy up front, and um, 99 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: I think you'll see all of a sudden magically the 100 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: secondary will start playing much better. Funny how that How funny? 101 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: How that works? All right, let's get to this this 102 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: Thursday night game here, it's a fun one. We don't 103 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: always uh do an extensive preview of the Thursday night game. 104 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: And maybe you're listening to this and the game's already 105 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: over here listening to this over the weekend. Um. But 106 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: to me, when you look at the Bengals and you 107 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: look at the Jags, I think the Bengals are kind 108 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: of maybe two runs ahead and their development process of 109 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: where the JA gigs are. But when you look at 110 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: this Bengals team, buck, what gets you excited and and 111 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: what has you concerned? I'm excited about the promise that 112 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: they've shown on offense. This is a very talented offense. 113 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: When you look at the skill players, UM, Joe Mixon 114 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: has labeled their skill players to uh fabulous five, you know, 115 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: and it is Joe Mixon, Joe Burrow, uh Te Higgins, 116 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: Tyler Boy and in Jamaar Chase. And they feel like 117 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: they can stack up with anybody. And when you look 118 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: at them on paper and when you watch them, and 119 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: they absolutely can stack up. This is a very talented 120 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: quintet that they can put out there. And when Joe 121 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: Burrow is protected, man he can do He's a point guard. 122 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: He's a pass first point guard. He's John Stockton out there. 123 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: Thorne bounced passes to Carl Malone and Horn a second, 124 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: all those guys on the break and kind of making 125 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: it happen. The big thing has been running the offense 126 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: through Joe Mixon. Because they're running it through the running back, 127 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: they have taken some of the pressure off Joe Burrow. 128 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: And we've talked about it. I think we talked about 129 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: in the podcast earlier. Eventually it's gonna flip, but then 130 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow later in the year, we'll take a more 131 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: leading role. But right now, as Joe Burrows coming off 132 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: that injury, they're running it through Joe Mixon. And we 133 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: have said this, and we've said this from the time 134 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: that we saw Joe Mixon at Oklahoma. He is one 135 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: of the more talented, big body hybrid backs that you're find, 136 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: meaning he is half running back half receiver. They haven't 137 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: fully they haven't even fully tapped into what he can 138 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: do in the passing game, but he is certainly a 139 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he is a hog. He is a hoss 140 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: that you have to deal with when when you're defending 141 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Yeah, I remember the movie, uh, I think 142 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: it's called Cable guy with Jim Carrey, remember the basketball 143 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: seeing that where he's warming up and he's got the 144 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: headband on and he's doing all he's doing like the 145 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: suicide lines. Like Joe Burrows just in the warm up man, 146 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: He's just he just in the warm up phase. Right now, 147 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna ease him into the season, put a lot 148 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: more on a running game than we're putting on his shoulders. 149 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: Knowing that, as you mentioned, once we get to the 150 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: second half of the season, I think you'll see that 151 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: flip in terms of numbers. He's only thrown it seventy 152 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: five times this year through three games. Joe mixing is 153 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: totaled at sixty seven times. So that that that that 154 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: that's not something you can do over seventeen games. But 155 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: while you're getting him back comfortable off the leg, his 156 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: his you know, his scrambled numbers and and kind of 157 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: play creating numbers are down for Burrow because he's doesn't 158 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: really have to and they're kind of letting him just 159 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: get back in the mix. But but you'll see that, 160 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: I guarantee you'll see that once we get gone. And 161 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: also these are the reasons you can play that way 162 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: is because your defense is actually playing pretty well. Like 163 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: when your deepness is able to keep the score down 164 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint, Well, now I don't have to 165 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: be as risky. I don't have to necessarily put my 166 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: foot on the gas and and and see if we 167 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: can push the pace and do some of those things. 168 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: They're very very comfortable, uh, when they have the game 169 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: under control, just kind of hey, let's let's put it 170 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: in four corners, let's take that time, let's do it. 171 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: And so I like, I like what I'm seeing from them. 172 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: But this is a huge game. I think this is 173 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: actually a bigger game for the Bengals than the Jaguars. 174 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: The reason why this is a big game for the 175 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: Bengals is because expectations have always been very very low 176 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Bengals. But now when you start to 177 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: win a couple of games and now you're on a 178 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: big stage on a Thursday night where you expected to win. 179 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: This is a maturity game. Do they have enough maturity 180 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: to take care of business when you're expected to win. 181 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: That's what we'll see. We'll see if Zach Taylor can 182 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: get these guys going when everyone expects them to come 183 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: out and knock the Jaguars out the box and from 184 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: a defensive standpoint. Larryogan job I tweet this out today. 185 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: Playing as well as as any interior defensive lineman. He's 186 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: really been a good fit there, playing in kind of 187 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: that three technique, letting him use his quickness to get 188 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: up field. Didn't really look the Browns d lines loaded, 189 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: so he just didn't really pop there. They figured out 190 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: a way to use him, and he's he's showing you 191 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: power and quickness. He's playing really well. DJ Reader next 192 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: to him as a big old hoss man. He can 193 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: he can, you know, push the pocket. So they've got 194 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: two disruptive inside guys and the two outside guys. I 195 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: don't think Hendrickson and Ubbard are like special players, buck, 196 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: but they never stopped. They just they're always going. Look, 197 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad, I'm glad you said that. Then this is 198 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: something that uh I got from Matt Rule. I think 199 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: he mentioned it on the podcast, but I heard him 200 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: in a clinic talking about this. If you want a 201 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: defense that plays hard, get players that play hard. So 202 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: if you want a defense that looks like it has 203 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: a collective motor, you have to have high motor players 204 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: on the field and It may not necessarily be about 205 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: their talent, but it's about what you talked about with 206 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: Henderson and Sam Hubbard. Because you're right, d J. I 207 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't say they're a level athletes or technicians. But when 208 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: you're persistent and you play hard, you will fall into 209 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: place because your effort gets you there. Compared to the 210 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: Washington football team, who's very talented, but they're not playing hard, 211 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: and so that's the difference. And so the Beagles have 212 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: a chance because they're playing hard, and playing hard will 213 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to create play. It's absolutely true 214 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: because when you watch all their pressure reels, I'm not 215 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: seeing clean wins by Hubbard and Hendrickson, but I'm seeing 216 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: those interior guys pushing things back, and I'm seeing them 217 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: kind of as a result of effort and stick tuitiveness 218 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: just finding a way to get home. So, um, it's 219 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: interesting how they're constructed up front. Logan Wilson, who we 220 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: both liked coming out of y he's playing well. He's 221 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: got their two picks this year. Um. The interesting thing 222 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: in this game, which is gonna be a challenge, their 223 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: best to secondary players are out. Shodobie Woozi has played 224 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: really well coming over from the Cowboys. UM and Jesse Bates. 225 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: We've talked about him a bunch on the show, how 226 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: we're big fans of his. So those two guys being out, 227 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: but Eli Apple and Spotlight Trey Waynes' we get a 228 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: chance to see him finally for the first time UM 229 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: for the Bengals, so we'll see how he does. Yeah. Look, 230 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: it's a huge loss not having Jesse Bates there. Uh. 231 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: Great defense is a build strong down the middle of 232 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: Jesse Bass has been a big part of what did 233 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: do when I know Von Bell is there and playing, 234 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: but Jesse Bass is kind of like the the blue 235 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: chip player in that secondary. He's also up uh for 236 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: big money, and so they kind of need him in 237 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: the mix to make it happen. So this will be 238 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: a thing where Eli Apple is absolutely vulnerable. The tape 239 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: that follows him throughout his career says that he is 240 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: susceptible to being worn out. So we'll see. I don't 241 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,599 Speaker 1: know if the Jaguars have anybody that can challenge him, 242 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: like he should be challenged, but yeah, he is the 243 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: wall though. He is a guy that they should go 244 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: after and see if he can hold up under the 245 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: barrage of pressure of balls going in his direction. Yeah, 246 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: when you look at this Jacks last question on the 247 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: Jackson will move on here you look at Jack's offense. Um, 248 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: we're long ways away from the off season, Buck, but 249 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: number one on your to do list would be what 250 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: what does this offensive need and any playmates? They need 251 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: a legitimate number one receiver. I mean a number one 252 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: receiver that it is clear and apparent that he is 253 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: the number one. And I would go so far to 254 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: say that they almost need a one eight and a 255 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: one be because right now Marvin Jones is there, and 256 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones is a nice veteran, but he's probably more 257 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: of a number three they need. Um, and I am 258 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: saying not necessarily. In the draft, I would say I 259 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: would take uh, and we've talked about this approach. In 260 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: the draft, I would double down. I would sign went 261 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: in free agency, So, for instance, a guy that you 262 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: see every week, um, Mike Williams, I think is coming up. 263 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: I would think about signing a playmaker like him, and 264 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: in drafting one to go with him. I'm gonna double 265 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: down in the position to be able to do it. 266 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: And I know I can talk about speed, but I 267 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: think you need an anchor, someone that you can put 268 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: at the X spot and say, this guy is going 269 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: to catch ninety balls season, give me about yards and 270 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: maybe eight or nine touchdowns, and we're gonna build it 271 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: out from that, because right now, I don't know if 272 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: when we're looking at it, if there's anyone on the 273 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: perimeter that scares me at all. That I am if 274 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: if we were doing the advanced Scott and Report, where 275 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: if we're presenting to the defense they were saying, hey, coach, 276 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know you need to have a 277 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: plan for X, Y and Z. There's no one on 278 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: the Jaguars that creates that conversation in the meeting room. 279 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking I'm just looking this up now. This is 280 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: this is from our buddy Greg Rosenthal on his top 281 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: free agents that he had um coming up. And now 282 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: some of these guys have got deals. So if I 283 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: if I give you one that's got a deal, just 284 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: correct me. But when you look at some of the 285 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: available names, start with the Vante Adams, right, I mean, 286 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I we'll see what they do. You know 287 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: that maybe that's you know, I can't imagine that Green Bay. 288 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: They can secret that. Yeah, so that that would be 289 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: the guess. Um, but maybe that's you know, we'll see 290 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: what happens with them with Aaron and what they're gonna 291 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: do there. Alan Robinson never he never got his deal? 292 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: Did he? Did Allan Robinson get paid? I don't think 293 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton's back healthy again. Um, there's a big time playmaker, 294 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. He got paid right franchise Allie, I'm yeah. 295 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep up with all those over the 296 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: off season. So that's a that's a pretty good list 297 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: of names you just mentioned. Mike Williams is having as 298 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: good a year as anybody in the league. So, um, 299 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: they'll be veteran guys. They could go get try and 300 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: give them an opportunity to start that double up process. 301 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: And the reason why you want a veteran guy Think 302 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: about the jump that Josh Allen had when Stefan Diggs 303 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: came over. When you have a young quarterback, I think 304 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: it's more important to pair him with a veteran receiver 305 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: because there's a trust factor. Right, A veteran knows how 306 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: to play. You know that A when I call this play, 307 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: he's going to be in this spot. I think one 308 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: of the reasons why. Justin Herbert, you see it every point. 309 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: He has older guys that they're gonna be there, not 310 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: only Mike, but Keenan. Allen is a is a VET, 311 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl, a Pro Bowl player. So now I 312 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: know in a jam, I can throw to this play 313 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: because he's gonna be exactly where we work on it. 314 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: With a younger guy, you they're still figuring it out. 315 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: So that's why I think it's important to get a 316 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: veteran and then a younger guy because Joe Burrow, I 317 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,479 Speaker 1: think benefits from Tyler Boyd being a veteran, a player 318 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: that is dependable and trustworthy. And then you have the 319 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: young guys and Tee Higgins and Jamaar Chase. How about 320 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Murray? How about Kyler Murray with with Hopkins, Yes, 321 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. That's another great example. I think you pair 322 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: those young quarterbacks with a veteran receiver because I think 323 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: it makes the game easier for them. And you look 324 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: at some of the young quarterbacks that maybe haven't popped yet, 325 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: they don't have a veteran guy in the Workwood doesn't 326 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: have that like premier, premier guy. Um. You look at 327 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones with the Giants, and they'll try to go 328 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: out and get gallery. They get a bunch of numbers, 329 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: don't be honest, and yeah, I don't. I don't think 330 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: Galla Day is like a No, I don't think he's one. 331 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a guy like that. Yeah. So 332 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and then we saw Sam Donald kind of flutter with 333 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: the Jets. Now he goes here and now he's got 334 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: he's got some guy back, Robby Anderson back. And then 335 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: DJ Moore has grown into being a really, really good player. 336 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: And so you have that Dj. We're sitting here seeing 337 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: it and saying it all all the young quarterbacks who 338 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: are really getting done with exceptions the joke, well even 339 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: Joe Burd because we just talked about there's a veteran 340 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: at high level veteran. We talked about blues and depending 341 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: on the code color system where you're blues and reds, 342 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: you gotta have somebody that's up there that can be 343 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: able to do it. Man, if you have an older quarterback, 344 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: you can bring in a younger guy because the older 345 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: quarterback will bring the younger receiver around. But with a 346 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: young quarterback, I wanted to establish veteran that my guy 347 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: knows hey, when I call this rude, he's gonna be 348 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: exactly in the spot on time and he can let 349 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: it go. M Yeah, And I think having a safety 350 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: net like a Tyler Boyd, then you go out and 351 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: get a real number one young guy like Jamar Chase. 352 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Now we're now we're cooking with gas. Um all right, 353 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: I want to um come back. Why we're kind of 354 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: on the Bengals here and Zach Taylor. That's an offense 355 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: that almost, gosh half the league is running right now. 356 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: I read an interesting article about that, So right after this, 357 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into what teams are doing trying to 358 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: defend this, all right, buck, So I'm reading this article 359 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: and I, for the life of me, I read it 360 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: the other day and I tried to find it to 361 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: properly source it and give whoever wrote it credit, But 362 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: it's out there, and whoever whoever did it did a 363 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: fantastic job. So I apologize. I apologize for not giving 364 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: you credit. But if you look it up, I'm sure 365 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: somebody's smarter than me can find it and who wrote it. 366 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: But it was about defending this Shanahan scheme and and specifically, 367 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: UM the boot pass that off the stretch, off the 368 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: outside zone, and and how that's just carved people up 369 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: in kind of the single high safety world. That that 370 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: is what has been there to defeat that with overs, 371 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: with shot plays stretching you out horizontally to attack you vertically. 372 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: That's we've been talking about this offense and how quarterback 373 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: friendly it is. Forever you think about all the teams 374 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: that are running this. Obviously you've got the Niners, You've 375 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: got the Rams, the Seahawks are now doing it, the 376 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, the Cleveland Browns, I mean, it's it's everywhere. 377 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: Um you're seeing this in A big staple of that 378 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: is the stretch boot and being able to take shots 379 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: down the field. And he said he did this really 380 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: good article on how teams are adjusting to that, and 381 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: if you go look at the Titans game against the Cardinals, 382 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: he posted a bunch of clips really well done and 383 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: showed because the Titans run a lot of that right 384 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: outside zone with with Derrick Henry and then they come 385 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: off that and take shots down the field. Well forever, 386 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, the backside end, because of run duties, has 387 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: had to kind of shuffle down the line and protect 388 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: the back door right, anything cut back, you've got to 389 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: be near land. That was rule number one. Don't get 390 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: caught up the field because they're gonna cut back under 391 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: and kind of on the heels of what we've talked about, 392 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: um about yards not really, you don't care about yards. 393 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: We care about points. And if you want to run 394 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: the ball successfully, A lot of teams are saying go 395 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: right ahead. So instead of worrying about that cutback run 396 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: potentially getting you for eight, ten, maybe fifteen yard run, 397 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: they have now and this is in the in the 398 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: author's terms, have green lit the backside defensive end of you. 399 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: You have no run responsibilities. That quarterback's head goes away 400 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: from you. I don't care. You are belining. And so 401 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: that's why if you remember that game right, Tannehill comes 402 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: off play action and Chandler Jones fam hit them fun 403 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: touchdown right, So they've been doing this and now this 404 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: is this is going on around the league, is there? 405 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: And and how they're getting away with it is you know, 406 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: if you if you you know, we used to do 407 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: this a rexas defensive to this all the time. We 408 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: always spill a lot of spill, so you're outside end 409 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: can crash and go hard inside, the backers gotta replace, right, 410 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: So the backers gotta replace him, and he's called spilling 411 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: spilling it. Well, that's what they're doing on these stretch boots. 412 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: Is that now if it comes out the back door, 413 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: it's on the second level defender to be able to 414 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: replace them. Correct. So I just thought about you. I 415 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: was thinking about that. I'm thinking, you know what, there's 416 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: always an action and a reaction, and now we're seeing 417 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: kind of these two high shell defenses now that are 418 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: starting to go all over the league. I see it 419 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: with Brandon Staley to take away some of these shot plays. 420 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: You can't get those deep overs. Don't that that that 421 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: doesn't cook as well when you've got to do back 422 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: there versus a single high safety. So that's the aspect 423 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: of it. But I thought, man, just we care about quarterbacks. 424 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: We don't care about the running game. I've seen it. 425 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: I've seen it for two weeks with the Chargers that 426 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: darn Cowboys and Chiefs run for Darnier two yards each game. 427 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: They don't. It doesn't matter, No, it doesn't matter because 428 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: it's a points league. And what happens is one offensive 429 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: play callers. It takes someone that is extraordinary to be 430 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: very patient with the running game, like they're only a 431 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: handful of teams that are okay living in the ring game. 432 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: One would be the Baltimore Ravens. They don't mind. If 433 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna give us the run. We'll take the run 434 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: all day, you know. And then who else maybe the 435 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: nine is But even with Kyle Shanahan, the running game 436 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: is to set up the big play in the passing game. 437 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: And because most of them want to use the threat 438 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: of the run so they can throw play action. If 439 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: you obliterate the quarterback and take away the play action, 440 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: it is frustrating to have to run the football over 441 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: and over and over again. As much as we may say, 442 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: hey man, they came a hundred for the yards of 443 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: controlling it, yes, but if you don't get the explosive plays, yeah, 444 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: you can't win. Our old buddy Buddy Brian Billy, who 445 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: used to come on the show from time to we're 446 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: always talking about what the toxic formula turnovers an explosive plays, 447 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: d J. That's where the game comes down to turning 448 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: the ball over and the explosive plays that you can generate. 449 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: And if you're not generating the explosive plays because it's 450 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: harder on the ground game to generate those explosives. You 451 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: have a top of time winning games winning this article. 452 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: By the way, finally I found Oliver Connelly's who wrote 453 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: this um and it's a read. Optional is the name 454 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: of the website, so look it up. Hat tip to 455 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: Oliver Connelly. It's a great article. Um, fascinating look at 456 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: this whole thing. I'll forward it to your book so 457 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: you can check it out. But it is, Uh, it's 458 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: interesting to just see how things take over the NFL 459 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: for a time, right, and then defense catches up, and 460 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: then you gotta evolve and go to the next thing. Um. 461 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: That's why we were talking to the day about innovating 462 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: with tempo. You know, can you inno eight with with 463 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: what you know, varying your tempo and different things, But 464 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: you've got to always be thinking of the next thing, 465 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: um or else they're gonna figure things out. And that's 466 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: why it kind of brings me to the other side 467 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: of this, which is the Chiefs. You know, Chiefs are 468 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: still scoring thirty points. I'm act like they're not. It's 469 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: not like they're you know, like terrible on offense. But 470 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 1: it's not quite where it was in terms of, you know, 471 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: the efficiency. And I think they've got an adjustment to 472 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: make here. As they're start, they're gonna start seeing the 473 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: same thing every week. Yeah, it's funny because you talk 474 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: about the Kanna City Chiefs. That has always been the thing. 475 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: What are you willing to do? Um when they give 476 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: it to you? If teams are giving you the running game, 477 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: are you willing to be patient enough to continue to 478 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: take it? Moreover? Are you willing to say no, no, no, no, 479 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: no no, We're gonna dictate the terms and we're gonna 480 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: flip it. You're not going to make us play a 481 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: certain way. We're going to find a way to flip 482 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: this so that we still can do what it is 483 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: that we want to do. And it's a challenge, and 484 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: it's a challenge for Andy Reid and those other guys. 485 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: How can I take advantage of those things? I think 486 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: one thing that you can do to take advantage of 487 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: the two high safety thing, I believe you need to 488 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: see the slow screen come back. Because everyone is so 489 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: conscious of taking the deep ball away. I think you 490 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 1: have to then be able to Okay, we're gonna drop back, 491 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna fake this way. Look, and then we're gonna 492 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: send two or three lining out the back door. With 493 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: the back we're gonna dump into him, and we're basically 494 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: gonna screen you to death. Andy Reid used to be 495 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: so great with the screens, going back to Philadelphia, their 496 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: early days with Jamal Charles in Kansas City. The running 497 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: game in the screen game can be a bigger factor 498 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: to slow down those soft defenses because now it's okay, 499 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: it's a kick return. I got a running back with 500 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: two or three guys leading, and I can do that. 501 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: This will be harder to generate the shot plays because 502 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: about and we saw that. We saw this last year. 503 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: DJ We saw this last year on a Thursday night. 504 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: We saw below. They were patient that day. They were 505 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: patient that day, but it still came down to the 506 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: very end. Came down to the very end. Buffalo park 507 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: the two safeties in the parking lot and did it. 508 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: And Buffalo just wasn't good enough on offense to make 509 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: it work. But they laid theyre so deceased too. All right, 510 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. And more teams you see it. 511 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: And when you have an off season to study the 512 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: Shanahan system, because so many of those disciples are all 513 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, it was a think tank. I'm 514 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: sure all these defense coordinators have gotten together and figured 515 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: out what's the best way to play, or they do 516 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: what some people do who has played well against these teams, 517 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: Brandon Day, they playing with light boxes. Let's copy what 518 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: they're doing and see if we can do what they're doing. 519 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: And that's that's what you're seeing. Another thing they talked 520 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: about in this article again, Um to make sure I 521 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: gave him proper credit here. Um that is Oliver Connelly 522 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: on read optional great article. Anyway, Steve talked a little 523 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: bit about, Um, you know, you see the single high safety, 524 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: which was the Seattle defense I saw, you know with 525 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: us Leaf with the chargers for all those years. Um, 526 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: is when you have that single high safety and you 527 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: go play action boot, not only do you have just 528 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: one deep middle defender off off the run action, that 529 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: second level gets sucked in. So now you've got the 530 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: space between a safety who plays very deep and that 531 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: in that scheme he's deep. You've got the linebackers who 532 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: have been sucked up towards the line of scrimmage, any 533 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: kind of crossers or over routes buck there's so much 534 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: there's so much space. So we're saying, basically, now teams 535 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: are are are with their linebackers playing against these types 536 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: of teams, is you're just scraping and playing over the top. 537 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: We're not attacking the line of scrimmage because if you 538 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: attack the line of scrimmage and they pull the ball, 539 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: there's too much there's too much free and open space 540 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: out there. I thought was fascinating. Man. Yeah, like, so 541 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: you slowly pull them dependon you're not being as aggressive 542 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: on that. You're spending all of your time in the 543 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: off season trying to figure out, Okay, how are we 544 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: playing these things? Uh dj I remember um watching teams 545 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: and playing on defenses where if they ran the boot 546 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: you would literally so if we go stretched to the 547 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: offensive right, boot to the left, the linebackers would move 548 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: to that way, and then they would turn and look up. 549 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: Instead of looking at the quarterback, they're turning their eyes 550 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: back to let's see if I can find the cross 551 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: the coming back so I can run. You spent all 552 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: your time working on that because the bootleg is such 553 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: a dangerous thing that when they get going, it's a problem. 554 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 1: And when you're dealing with the Shanahans. It's not just 555 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: the bootleg is the bootleg action stop and fire it 556 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: down the field for a fifty yard game. The explosive 557 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: plays are the ones that are that are killing you. 558 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,479 Speaker 1: And so it's it's the deep over it's the thing. 559 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,239 Speaker 1: But let's think about this. McVeigh started crushing people with 560 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: those things. Well, I mean Shanahan was doing it too. 561 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: Was that when he came to the Rams, when it 562 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: took off, he did. It's taken like three or four 563 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: years for the league, Yeah, catch up with it. So 564 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: now the funny thing will be for McVeigh and those 565 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,239 Speaker 1: guys to now go back, go back and look at 566 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: tape from and see what was popular then and go 567 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: back to using that stuff. Because when I talked to him, 568 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: we talked about this guy a lot. But when I 569 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: talked to Dennis Thurman, Dennis Thurman played way back in 570 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: the heyday, the seventies and eighties. He talked about defending 571 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs, who's one of the originators and some of 572 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: this deep over stuff personnel and all. Yeah, he said, Bucky, 573 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: he said, you spent your entire time trying to figure 574 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: out Okay, we know they're gonna through it. When is 575 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: it coming? And you had to have all these rules like, hey, 576 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: if they win a single high safety defense, they run 577 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: the deep over and the post safety you drive the 578 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: over backside corner, you go to the post. So the 579 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: other day we saw the forty nine is Jari Alexander's interception. 580 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: They were in quarters, but it was the same concept. 581 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: It was rolled the post, the safety drove over yards, 582 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: then it comes from the backside. It gets it off. 583 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: But you gotta spend your entire offseason working against those things. 584 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: If you wait the game week, you'll never get it right. Yeah, 585 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: that's fascinating man. Um Anyway, so I encourage again everybody 586 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: go check out article out, really really good job. That's 587 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: what's so cool about the meta right now. Used to 588 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: be you had what NFL dot com, ESPN dot com 589 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: and that was about it. Now there's so many different 590 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: outlets and people have access to the video. Um, So 591 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: hat tip to him. Good articles. It was a fun read. 592 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: All right. Right after this, we're gonna get into the 593 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: rams building philosophy and if it's going to be duplicated, 594 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: all right, Buck, I'm gonna give you the floor here. 595 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: The Rams have have bucked traditional thinking here and it's worked. 596 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: Why don't you explain it? Yeah, it's it's work. DJ 597 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: like coming from our backgrounds when you come and so 598 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: everyone understands. There's a difference being a college scout in 599 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: a pro scout. When you're a college scout, you are 600 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: really fixated on the college game. You typically have a 601 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: mindset of I want to build my team, draft and developed. 602 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: I want to use all my lottery tickets on these prospects. 603 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna bring them in, we're gonna develop them with 604 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: our great coaching staff, and this is going to be 605 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: a sustainable model that allows us to build a championship 606 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: team for the next decade. The l a Rams that 607 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: basically kicked dirt into that trend and said, like, that's 608 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: great that you've got all those lottery tickets. But what 609 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: I wanna do is I'm gonna go to the fair 610 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: and I have won all the games, and I'm gonna 611 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: cashing my lottery tickets for the big stuff bear. I 612 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: want the big bear that's hanging up at the top 613 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: of the thing. Oh but you know you can nope, 614 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: give me the big bear. I want the big bear 615 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: and we're gonna put it on and DJ where kids 616 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: in North Carolina like, you go to the fair with 617 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: your girlfriend and the only thing you want to do 618 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: is have the big Bear on the thing. So you 619 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: were like the cool dude, let's need and Sean mcbabe 620 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: must have gone to the fair a lot when they 621 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: were kids, because that is what they're doing. They're taking 622 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: all those lottery tickets from winning all those games, putting 623 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: the ping pong balls and the gold fish bowl, uh, 624 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: the rings around, the rings around the coke bottle, the 625 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: basketball toss, the water gun, the water gun on the 626 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: horse with the clown. They're taking all of those tickets 627 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: and they're casting them in for um the Big Bear. 628 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: And the big Bear is this players over picks rather 629 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: than expending first round picks ont prospects because I think 630 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: our old guy Charlie CASSII, Okay, they get NFL media 631 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: used to talk about the fifty like it's about first 632 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: round fifty or so a first round picks. They're saying, yeah, 633 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: we don't worry about the picks. We're gonna go get 634 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: the proven players. So they go and trade and get 635 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: a Jalen Ramsey, proven All Pro player. They give up 636 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: first round picks and all that stuff and the money 637 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: to get the money. We got one of the best, 638 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: can do it. Oh you know, we like Jerry Golf, 639 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: and that's cool. We draft and developed him. But look 640 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: at the show. Look at that big old bear over there, 641 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: like Matthew Stafford bear and he even has like the hey, yeah, 642 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: we'll give you Jerry Golf and some first round picks. 643 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna get the big Bear and Matthew Stafford. So 644 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: now what you're looking at is a team with Aaron 645 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: Donnald who was draft and developed, they resigned or whatever. 646 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: But now you're looking at a team that on paper, 647 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: we're like, man, that is a really top heavy team. 648 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: If they have an injury, what happens, Well, if they 649 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: don't have an injury, they have better players than you 650 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: have and it becomes a problem because they're a level 651 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: talent is extraordinary. The only thing I would say that 652 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: this when it comes to the draft, though, is this 653 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: is really where you have to have an outstanding scouting staff, 654 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: because you're scouting staff has to find wins in the third, fourth, fifth, six, 655 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: seventh rounds, and that is what they've been able to do. 656 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: They've been able to supplement. They're A level talents with 657 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,239 Speaker 1: a bunch of lower draft picks that are playing at 658 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: a high level. And I'm not saying all those draft 659 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: picks because Ben Jefferson was a two, Cooper Cup was 660 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: a two or three. I think, um some of the 661 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: other guys have been later round picks that are having 662 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: success and that has given them a model that when 663 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: you look at them, you're like, man, they're very talented, 664 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: and if they're A level talents play at that level. 665 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: I mean they are problematic in basketball terms. I would 666 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: call them their team that has built like the Brooklyn Nets, 667 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: and we have seen when the Brooklyn Nets are healthy, 668 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: they can go to the toe. I know the Bill 669 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to hear this, but if Kyrie Irvan doesn't 670 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: get hurt, walking Bucks never win a title because the 671 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets were having their way with the Bucks because 672 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: they were more they were more talented. But it is 673 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: a model that I'm keeping an eye on because I 674 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: do think it's fascinating to see how they've given up 675 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: these draft picks and really focus on getting players. So 676 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: I want to hit on this because you just said, Okay, 677 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: you don't have the ones, which they're gonna end up 678 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: going seventh eight years without a first round pick, which 679 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: is crazy, right, Um, but I want you to think 680 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,239 Speaker 1: about it this way. If we think about it in 681 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: terms of money, right, if you say a first round 682 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: pick is worth a dollar, okay, second round picks were 683 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: seventy five cents, third round picks worth fifty cents, fourth 684 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: round pick is worth a quarter. What they've done because 685 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: you said it, not you, we've got to be able 686 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: to hit on those, you know, second, third, fourth round picks. 687 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: They've given themselves more shots at those picks. So when 688 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: you look at this last year, they didn't have a one, 689 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: they had a two, three, They had three fours, so 690 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: that's seventy five cents. They might not have a dollar 691 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: for the first round pick, but they've got three quarters. 692 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: So you know, you hit on one of those, you're 693 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, now your your math changes. So then we 694 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: go back to No. One. Right, Well, they got two twos, 695 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: so that's seventy five cents and seventy five cents, so 696 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: that like the drop off is not like huge. And 697 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: then uh, that year they also had two threes. Two 698 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, they had no one, but they had a 699 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: too they had three three ease two thousand eighteen, there's 700 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: no one. They had a three, They had no one 701 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: or two, but they had a three. And then they 702 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: got two fords, they got two fives, they got three sixes. 703 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: Like so, in other words, just give me, just give 704 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: me more bites at more give me more bites at 705 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: the apple there. So in essence, what you're telling me is, 706 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm giving up some of them. I'm giving up the 707 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: big goal, a lottery tickets. I'm getting back to pink ones. 708 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: So I'm getting back to pink ones that I can't 709 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: qualify for the big Bear. But what I may be 710 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: able to do is get the souvenir cup. So they're 711 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: getting a bunch of souvenir cups and and things to 712 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: leave as a constellation price. But what they're doing is 713 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: they're beginning to get two or three cups that they 714 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: didn't trade in for maybe another big bear down the line. 715 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 1: But they are. And it's funny because people talk about 716 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: the Jimmy Johnson model, like, you know, we're talking about 717 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: the trade chart and all those other things, but when 718 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: you listen to Jimmy Johnson talk, he said, well, all 719 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: these things are are alike, like I want more bites 720 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: at the apple because Zach Thomas is a fifth round pick. 721 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 1: But if I just I just want to keep swinging, 722 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: I just want to take cuts at at bat see. 723 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: I think I think you get in trouble when you're 724 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: trading your your first and second round picks and then 725 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 1: you're like, okay, I got one third round pick, one 726 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: fourth round pick, and now it's like, I can't I 727 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,240 Speaker 1: have to hit, like I can't afford to miss on 728 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: any of these. They've given themselves a little margin for 729 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: error with these books. But DJ, we've talked about this 730 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: like numerous having particularly a path of the draft as 731 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: as as it's leading up. All you have to do 732 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: to accumulate more of those things is Okay, if I 733 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: have a two and I trade back, give me a three. 734 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: So now I've gone from one three to two threes. 735 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: And okay, let's take that second three and trade back. 736 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: So now give me a couple of fours or give 737 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: me a couple, and then you partly impact like hey, 738 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: I'll give you two six is to move up and 739 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: get a five. There are ways that you can manipulate it, 740 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: because we do from one year to the next do 741 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: it from like, hey, this year, you want my you 742 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: want my three, give me your two next year. Done done, simple, simple. 743 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: We've seen the Seattle Seahawks going to a draft with 744 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: four picks and by the end of the day they 745 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: have eight to ten picks because they're swapping them out. 746 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: So they're ways to do it. I think now what 747 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: you're seeing as we have a younger trend towards general managers. 748 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: General managers are not as afraid to trade and swap 749 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: out and be aggressive and creative in terms of how 750 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: they do uh the ammunition on draft day. So I'm 751 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: glad you mentioned the Seahawks. So this would be my 752 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: one point there is that they traded the two ones 753 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,439 Speaker 1: right for Jamal Adams. But if you look at last 754 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: year buck they had they had a second round pick, 755 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, a sixth round pick. They had 756 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,919 Speaker 1: three picks last year. They need more picks, They need 757 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: more picks. So that's the difference. I would say the 758 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: Rams have acquired these star players and then they did 759 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: at least this last year. You saw the evidence of 760 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: them get more bites at the apple. I think it's dangerous. 761 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 1: I think it's dangerous when you are trading first round picks, 762 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: and you can't have a draft with three picks, like 763 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: you can't you see, Here's here's what I would say 764 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: that might have influenced their thinking because in the past 765 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: they had success with undrafted free agents that maybe you 766 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: fall into the trap of always, fine, we'll find some 767 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: undrafted but last year was the worst undrafted free agent 768 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: year we've ever had. Were those guys made the team 769 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: than ever and like going back to like the nineties, right, 770 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: and so when speaking to their mindset, because during their heyday, 771 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: you remember their hey day when they were the legion 772 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 1: of boom and they were winning. They had a tremendous 773 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: amount of success with the Doug Baldwins and the undrafted 774 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: guys they were able to make the team. And sometimes 775 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: that influences or kind of clouds your mind when you 776 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,959 Speaker 1: think about the undrafted free agent pool. But I think 777 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: you are maybe onto something in terms of no, no no, no, 778 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: We're okay giving up the first rounders, but if we 779 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: can acquire multiple ones, multiple picks in later rounds, that 780 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: gives us an opportunity to make sure that we fortify 781 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: the depth, and it gives us an opportunity to maybe 782 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: hit the lot of some of those later round picks. 783 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,959 Speaker 1: And I remember Brad Holmes leaving to get the general 784 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: manager's job with the Detroit Lions. I think that's two threes, right, 785 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: so you get one three last year and one three 786 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: next year. So, um, those helped too. Now, those certainly 787 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: help man. There was I can't remember a long time ago, 788 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: there was a study that talked about the difference between 789 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: first rounds and second rounds in like from an analytical thing, 790 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: it was proven that it wasn't a huge difference in 791 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: terms of production. I think it's split. I think it's split. 792 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: I think that like if you lop off the top 793 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: ten of the first round and then you compared like 794 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: eleven to the end of the second round, I don't 795 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: think there's as much difference between that group, you know, 796 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: and yeah, and so you have to know no yet. 797 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: And I think for the Rams, I don't know if 798 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 1: the Rams have been trading off those kinds of first 799 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: round picks. They're all late ones. So they're late ones. 800 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: And we talked about maybe in the draft true first 801 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: round picks maybe eighteen to twenty two players. The rest 802 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: of those guys are right on the line when it 803 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: m are they really genuine blue chip players? And if 804 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: they're not, that's where the variances are. Yeah. I think, 805 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: like I think, if you looked at the the the 806 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: hit rate is way higher than fifty. When you're probably 807 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: looking at the top twenty picks. You know, the MS 808 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 1: is in the first round. Traditionally they're gonna more likely 809 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: come towards the back end, and there's no differ. Yeah, 810 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: I think Charlie, I think he told me he can't 811 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: make it, told me like the first round it drops 812 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,359 Speaker 1: down to fifty. Maybe in the second round. But um, 813 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: there is something that you just that you have to 814 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: like about that stuff, no doubt. Um, all right, let's uh, 815 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 1: let's keep things rolling here, Tom Brady and uh going 816 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: back to the Patriots here. I know every show in 817 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 1: America is talking about this. You know, it's probably the 818 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: whole show for the majority of people. Um, we don't 819 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: need to do that, but just kind of your your 820 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: your takeaways here on what this looks like. Mm hmm. 821 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: This is interesting, right, This is interesting because like there's 822 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: gonna there's so many so proper in those things coming first, 823 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: I'll talk about it from Bill Belichick standpoint, and the 824 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: Patriots if you're Bill Belichick and you have twenty years 825 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: to watch your quarterback play, you see him every day 826 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: and practice, you've seen him in all the games. I 827 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: have to believe that you can build a game plan 828 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: that you you know him, You know him, you know 829 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: how he thinks, you know what he doesn't like. You 830 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: know it gives him problems because you sat in the 831 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: office and helped him work through some of the issues 832 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: that other teams present. So from a game plan perspective, 833 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots can certainly put together a plan 834 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: that can give Brady some problems based on where he 835 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: is and those things. The issue that you have, I 836 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 1: don't know if you're good enough to execute it, because 837 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: the game plan is not just from a defensive standpoint, 838 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: but also from an offensive standpoint. Can you play complimentary 839 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: ball and do those things? And so I think this 840 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: could be a game where Brady may not play great, 841 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: but his team is better. Is his team is better 842 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: around him, and that might give him a chance. But 843 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: I don't know it's really person But I think he 844 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: can create a game plan to make it hard. I 845 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: just don't know if you have in the bullets in 846 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: the gun to make it work. Okay, I'm gonna give you, 847 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: uh my analogy here on this game. But so let's 848 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: say you're on a high school team. Right, You've got 849 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: your two best players on the high school team. High 850 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: school basketball team. Okay, so you know these guys are 851 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: really competitive, you've won championships together. You know, one A 852 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: and one B, and like, man, who is who is 853 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: more responsible for this? Is A? Or B? Who's the 854 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: guy who? You know? They debated around the school, around 855 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: the campus, and then then all of a sudden, they 856 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: get together. Coach gets together and said, you know, we're 857 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: gonna settle this thing once and for all. Bring the 858 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: whole basketball team in there, and they say, okay, player A, 859 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: you're the captain of this team. Player B, you're the 860 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: captain of the other team. We're gonna have a game 861 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: and we're gonna find out whose team wins determines who's better. 862 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Okay? Uh? Player A, you get the 863 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 1: first five picks, You go ahead, pick all, you get 864 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: to pick your first five teammates. And then player B 865 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: you get the sixth pick and you get to see 866 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: so we're gonna wait, wait a second, how can we 867 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: find out who's better when that guy gets the first 868 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: he gets the five best players, and I got to 869 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: make that I get the sixth best player, Like, I'm 870 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: not a fair Like if you had a draft of 871 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: the players between the Patriots and the Bucks and we 872 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: went twenty two deep, you might have sixteen seventeen Bucks 873 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 1: and five four or five Patriots. That's the truth. I mean, 874 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: that's what uh. Bill Belichick is definitely going to the 875 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: gunfight with a butter knife. He does not he does 876 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: not have enough. He does not have enough. This will 877 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: be if he's able to do it, it will have 878 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: to be one of the more masterful scheme jobs that 879 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: he's ever done in a regular season Like he is 880 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: going to have to, I mean, really manipulate the xs 881 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: and ohs to make this work because player for player 882 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: their inferior to the Tampaire Buccaneers. Yeah, I mean Antonio 883 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,879 Speaker 1: Brown comes back. DJ. We saw it when Antonio Brown 884 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: played that that first week. We have Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, 885 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: Chris Guy when grabbing a Kowski. It's a problem. It's 886 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: a problem the matchup. And I like J. C. Jackson 887 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: and some of the other guys that have in the 888 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: back in, but it's a problem because there's a weak 889 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: link somewhere there that they have a faithful advantage. Then 890 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: you think about the offensive line in front of Tom Brady. 891 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: That offensive line is pretty pretty salty and solid. I 892 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: don't know who the Patriots. Who's the Patriots pass rushers 893 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 1: that's going to win consistently to make Tom Brady uncomfortable? 894 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 1: So is this a coverage game where you're gonna drop 895 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: back and say, okay, well, rush three will drop eid 896 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: and we'll just cover them up and maybe we'll get 897 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: home on these coverage sacks and those things. That's it's tough. 898 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: But then when we flip it, DJ, who's the guy 899 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: that scares you on the Patriots offense? Let me ask 900 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: you this, Let me put it to this way. Let 901 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: me ask you this question. Would one of the Patriots 902 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 1: defensive lineman start for the Tampa Bay Bucks? No? Would 903 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: one of the New England Patriots wide receivers start for 904 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks. No. We're saying it's a quarterback 905 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: pass rush league. Right, we know Tom and Max is 906 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: not a fair fight. Men, Just where Mack is in 907 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: his career is not a fair fight. Now, Tom's got 908 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: way better receivers and he doesn't have to go up 909 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: against the pass rest that Max is gonna have to 910 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: go up against. So, I mean, Bill Belichick have to 911 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: have the greatest freaking game plan of all time if 912 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: he wins this game, he's gonna have to dig so 913 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: deep in the satchel to pull this one out. I mean, 914 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: like really deep to put Oh, by the way, any 915 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: of those linebackers, I mean they've got some solid players, 916 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: Matt Judon, high Tower Van Oi, solid players. They don't 917 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: start for the Bucks. No, were you taking off the field? No? 918 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: You know, the only advantage I would say is the 919 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: Patriots secondary in most instances. But then yeah, I give 920 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 1: their secondary of the edge, but it's not but facing 921 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 1: the secondary is not facing the secondary, which is a problem. 922 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 1: And so I know, yeah and I and I would 923 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: say I think the Tampa secondary matches up better with 924 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: the New England wide receivers than uh than the Patriots 925 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: secondary matches up with the Bucks wide receivers. So right 926 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: now we've said we haven't found any advantage for the 927 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: Patriots in the margins. We haven't found the no advantage. 928 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: Maybe this is just the way Belichick likes it, because 929 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: if if the New England Patriots win this game. There's 930 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: only one guy to point to DJ. That's it. That's 931 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 1: that's He will have to have one of the best 932 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: game claims that he has ever produced in a regular 933 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 1: season game to win this, like, because I don't know how. 934 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what he can come up with to do, honestly, 935 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 1: like from a defensive standpoint, because I'm I'm looking at 936 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: them and I'm looking at the wet like challenge a 937 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: challenge you. I'm sure, I'm sure there's Patriot fans are 938 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: listen to us, and they're human. Right now, do the exercise. 939 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: Get you, get your buddy and sit down and say 940 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna draft between these two rosters and draft get 941 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: to the number twenty to and add up how many 942 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: bucks versus Patriot players. You have a teacher, I don't know. 943 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: That's where I am on this old game man. Yeah, 944 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: so it is. It is definitely that Like, Okay, a 945 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 1: player eight, you get the first five pigs. What, Yeah, yeah, 946 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,399 Speaker 1: I think Mike Evans give me Vida Veta, I'll take 947 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: I'll take Shack Barrett and JPP. Okay, you pick one. Yeah, Like, 948 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's really hard and so there's a lot 949 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: to be blown. And I think that the entire conversation 950 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: has been unfair because what the Patriots did together with 951 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, it's different. It's different teams. 952 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,920 Speaker 1: They did different teams the three to day one the 953 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 1: first part of two thousand, then they come back and 954 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: win the final different teams. The team was constructed completely 955 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: different differently, and I think both guys have to take 956 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: credit for their roles in it. The first three was 957 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,919 Speaker 1: more of the run game, defense, com mentory ball, tom 958 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,800 Speaker 1: Brady just getting manage it. At the end, Tom Brady 959 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: had a bigger say in it. Tom Brady the offense 960 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: and those things. And so I, man, I look, I 961 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: think you have to get both guys credit for what 962 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 1: they did. But this doesn't settle into that twenty years stuff. 963 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 1: But it's that pick up basketball game that we're talking about. Man, 964 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,439 Speaker 1: we will roll out the balls and it's not fair. 965 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: Figured out coach, coach? Is it here? We go ahead? 966 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 1: That's it up? Check, Yeah, this is this is This 967 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 1: is a tough one. That is what it is. Man, 968 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 1: anything else you want to add before we get out 969 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: of here? Buck? No, Man, I think we covered a 970 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: lot of ground. I think this is one of the 971 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: best conversations in terms of all the other stuff sharing 972 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 1: and system talking about the Rams and then Tom Brady 973 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 1: is awesome pickup basketball team.
