1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: What's up everybody? DJ? Bucky back with you, Buck? How 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: you doing man? Man, I'm good. I am good dj 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: uh coming off the heels of that last but I 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: got a lot of positive reaction and FEEBA a lot 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: of people into d m S talking about like it 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: was a really creative way to look at team building 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: and death stuff. And so it's cool. It was too 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: bad they played UM and got whooped UH the last night. 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: We probably shouldn't give the Celtics a little more love 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: based on that. But it's great. Everything's cool. What's going 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: on with you know? Everything's good man. We've got a 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: fun one schedule today. We are going to uh talk 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: briefly about some of the changes in Pittsburgh, which I 15 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: feel like you only do that once every twenty years 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: because they don't make changes there um and then. And 17 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into kind of connecting our philosophy with 18 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: some numbers. So we've talked about how to build around 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: a young quarterback. We've talked about the three p's. You 20 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: guys know what those are. If you don't, we'll fill 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: you in here in just a minute, we're gonna try 22 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: and connect the number with the philosophy, and then we're 23 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: gonna look at the changes that were made for those 24 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: teams that may be struggled last year and uh, and 25 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: see if we're optimistic or pessimistic going forward. But I 26 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: figured we start here with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Omar Con 27 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: who's who's been there forever really kind of handling their 28 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: salary cap and contract negotiations and and uh and done 29 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: a phenomenal job there for the last twenty years I 30 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: believe he's been there. Um, he was just elevated to 31 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: be named the general manager of the Pittsburgh Steelers. And 32 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: it's notable because, um, when you get a job there 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: as a head coach a general manager usually it's a 34 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: it's about a twenty year minimum in terms of how 35 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: long you're gonna be in that role. Yeah, and it 36 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: is notable. And one of the things that the Pittsburgh 37 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: Steelers have always done really well is they are what 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: we call the homegrown organization players, uh, scouting staff, coaches. 39 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: They kind of tend to kind of bring their guys 40 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: up within their system and then there guys kind of 41 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: grow within the system and continue to elevate up as 42 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: they gained experience and expertise in those things, and so 43 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: for Oh my Car to be elevated to the general 44 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: manager role. Uh says that this thing true to that process. 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: The difference is they bring in our guy Andy Whitel 46 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: from an outside organization to maybe add some new life, 47 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: some new blood to the pipeline. And so it's a 48 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: mix of new and old, but allows them to kind 49 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: of retain the flavor that has always been part of 50 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steeler mystique and tradition while also branching out 51 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: and bringing in maybe some outside ideas to kind of 52 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: maybe make this organization a little forward thinking, a little different. 53 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 1: So I kind of like it because it allows them 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: to continue to stick to the old model while continue 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: to think and expand on their ideas and maybe it 56 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: makes them a better organization overall. Yeah, and interesting thing 57 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: about Andy too is is Andy's known Omar for over 58 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: twenty years. They worked together with the Saints. You know, 59 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: Andy started actually his first job I believe was with 60 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: the Steelers coming into the NFL. So he's someone who 61 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: grew up in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are very important to him. Um, 62 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: so I think that's a great fit. Andy actual we 63 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: played in college against Mike Tomlins, So, uh, you've got 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: some synergy and some connection there, I think, you know, 65 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: and he's upbringing in the Ravens organization where he really 66 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: kind of established his identity there. There's a healthy respect 67 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: between the Steelers and the Ravens as good as those 68 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: organizations have been over the years, the same division. Um, 69 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: So I think it's a it's a good fit there 70 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: for for what they're doing in Pittsburgh and excited to 71 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: see how they proceed. I mean, like we said, you 72 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: get a head coach or GM gig there, you've got 73 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: you got a patient owner, um and they understand how 74 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: to win and it's uh, it's as good a culture 75 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: as there is. Sometimes you come into a new place 76 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: where you get elevated and we've got to change all 77 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: these things. I don't even need to do a lot 78 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: of changes there in that organization. They might be the 79 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: m v off not only people inside the NFL but 80 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: around the sports world. Yeah, no, they are the m 81 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: You talk about a model of consistency, Uh, the Pittsburgh 82 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: Steelers have been and understanding what the standard is there. 83 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: They talked about winning championships. They have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, 84 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: uh about as many times as you can get in 85 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: the National Football League. This is a team that understands 86 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: how to win. They've done a great job of continuing 87 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the tradition. And Mike Exam and a guy who doesn't 88 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: have any losing seasons on his resume. UM, Like it 89 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: speaks volumes, but I think it also speaks to uh, 90 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: the Runey family and those guys in terms of like 91 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: how they see this organization, but how they're also willing 92 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: to adapt and evolve as time and years go on. UM, 93 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: no doubt. Well, best of luck to Omar. Congratulations to 94 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: him on on a well deserved promotion there to be 95 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: the new general manager of the Pittsburgh Steelers. UM. All right, 96 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: this is what we want to do today. Kind of 97 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: a fun project, not gonna be the longest episode, but 98 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: this is something I thought would be a fun way 99 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: to get into it. We always talk about the three 100 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: piece buck. We've talked about it on here forever. We've 101 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: talked about you know, when you're building around a young quarterback, 102 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: you want to surround him with past protection. You want 103 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: to start with surround him with playmakers, you want to 104 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: surround him with the right play caller. UM. And I thought, okay, well, 105 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: let's look at some of these teams that maybe we're 106 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: struggling in those three areas. UM, let's identify who those 107 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: teams were. Then let's look at what they did in 108 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: the off season and see if maybe this there's some 109 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: signs there that it's going to get better. UM. So 110 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: the three stats we looked at were pressure percentage. So 111 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: if we're talking about protection, let's look at who the 112 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: most pressured teams were, the most pressure quarterbacks. Uh. For playmakers, 113 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: we're just gonna look at as a passing lead. We're 114 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: gonna look at explosive passing plays. So who are the 115 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: bottom five teams and that in that category? And then 116 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: for play caller, obviously there's no stat for a play caller, 117 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: but I thought, let's just go generic. Let's just go 118 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: points per game. You know, who are the five worst 119 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: teams and points per game? And is their continuity? Is 120 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: there a change at that play caller? Maybe we can 121 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: see some room for improvement. You ready to roll, Let's 122 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: do it. Okay, let's start here with the with pass 123 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: pro So if we look at pressure percentage last year. 124 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: The five worst teams the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers, 125 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: the New York Jets, the Philadelphia Eagles. Surprisingly with with 126 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: all the talent they have in their office, but I 127 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: think some of that you can look at some of 128 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: the athletic quarterbacks run into some of that. Seattle was 129 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: the fifth, same thing there with Russ. But let's start 130 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Falcon. And when we look at their 131 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: offensive line, I've got our lads here just kind of 132 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: what we're gonna go off of here for their starting line, man, 133 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: it looks like it's You've got Matthews at left tackle, 134 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Mayfield, Hennessee, Lyndstrom McGary. So you're relying on all 135 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: the same names. Um. Are are you optimistic that that 136 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: group is going to be better another year together. I'm 137 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: not optimistic. I think they may notice system better and 138 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: there may be more continuity in chemistry because there are 139 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: another year together. But at some point of all those 140 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: guys that you listed, I don't know if there's a 141 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: blue chip guy amongst the ranks. And at some point, 142 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about it. You don't necessarily need 143 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: like all the guys, but you can't have a tomato can. 144 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: That's kind of how we phrase it. I don't want 145 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: to disrespect these guys are saying tomato cans, but I 146 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: would say that recycling. We can recycle a lot down 147 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: there in Atlanta. And so we just got to make 148 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: sure that those guys playing with strings. So I'm worried 149 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: about what that could look like if a young quarterback 150 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: had to jump in behind that office long Yeah, Um, 151 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'll add this. You know, we talked about 152 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: pressure percentage. The one thing that they do have going 153 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: for him is that you've gone from a stationary pocket 154 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: passer and Matt Ryan to now you've got Marcus Mariota 155 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: and Desmond Ritter. Those are your top two quarterbacks, two 156 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: guys we've come. We compared Ritter to Mariota, two very 157 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: athletic guys. That's gonna allow you to do a couple 158 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: of things. It's gonna allow them to get away from 159 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: some of that pressure. It's gonna allow you to move 160 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: the pocket. It's gonna be able to, you know, move 161 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: that launch point. Don't let teams get comfortable where the 162 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna be. Um. I think that could be 163 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: an area where maybe you've seen an improvement here is 164 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: by adding some of that athleticism. Now you also, you 165 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: know the downside of that, as with Matt Ryan and 166 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: his experience, You're gonna you're gonna lose some of that 167 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: quick processing of being able to see things and get 168 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: the ball out of your hand real quick. You know 169 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: you are gonna lose some of that. And look, Matt 170 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: Ryan lost is gonna be a bigger loss than people 171 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: may anticipate. Matt Ryan is in Uh. Look, he's a pro, 172 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: not only a pro, but he's a guy who's been 173 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: an m v P in this league and processing to 174 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: be being able to get the ball out his accuracy, um, 175 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: probably he hasn't got enough creative for that. And so 176 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: now you talk about having athletic quarterbacks who look are 177 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: lesser playmakers in those areas, it's going to impact the offense. Yeah, 178 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: the mobility certainly could protect the offensive line, but then 179 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: what you gain in mobility you lose in accuracy and 180 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: ball placement. I wonder how that offense functions when you uh, 181 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: kind of take a step back in those areas. All right, 182 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: let's get to the next team here, same division. So 183 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: we've talked about Atlanta, the Carolina Panthers pressure percentage for 184 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: Sam Donald no bueno, thirty eight point nine percent. So 185 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: the Falcons are forty eight. Carolina second worst thirty eight 186 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: point nine. Now we can look at some changes amongst 187 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: this group. Yeah, they're gonna line up left to right 188 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: here with the quantum of their first round pick last year. 189 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: We've got Brady Christiansen. We've got Bradley Boseman the center 190 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: from Baltimore. We've got Austin Corbett from the Rams, and 191 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: we've got Taylor Moten right tackle. So we can look 192 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: at that group and say, talent wise, it's it's definitely 193 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: a more talent group than what they've had. Yeah, telling wise, 194 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: they are more talented group, and because of the composition 195 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: of the group, they should be able to run the 196 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: ball better. And we know if you run the ball better, 197 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: then it allows you to move your passing game from 198 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: a traditional drop back to maybe more play action. And 199 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: so the play action may help them keep Sam Donald upright, Uh, 200 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: it may help them be able to be a little 201 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: more focused on and also, like we'll talk about Christi 202 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: McCaffrey and the playmaker category, but bringing him back also 203 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: changes the way that defenses will attack the line of 204 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: scrimmage based on number twenty two being in the backfield. 205 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: So I would say that this team has gotten better upfront, 206 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: and so I wouldn't expect to see them on that 207 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: list next year when we do this exercise. Yeah, No, 208 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: I think it's a better group and McCaffrey is a 209 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: big key to that too. You mentioned it just kind 210 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: of gets some of that run game go on. Take 211 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: a little pressure off alright, third worst team last year 212 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: pressure rate the New York Jets at thirty eight point four. 213 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: Now you can again look at some key moves here 214 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: you've got as they go left to right, right now, 215 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: George Fat looks like he's going to be the left tackle. 216 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised if there was a contract extension done 217 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: with him either Lake and Thomlinson comes over, one of 218 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: the top guards in the league, and he's in a scheme. 219 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: He's very comfortable he's going to be the left guard. 220 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: Connamer Government comes back at center, serviceable, Elijah Vera Tucker 221 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: was was really good last year. It's a rookie. He 222 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: lives from left guard the right guard. And McKay Beckton, 223 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: who barely played a snap last year. I got hurt 224 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: early in that season. He hopefully comes back healthy and 225 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: he is your right tackle there, so a big assumption 226 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: there on his health. But you could say, you know, 227 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: with Lake and Thomlinson coming in, Elijah vera Tucker year two. Man, 228 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: if McKay Beckton plays, that is a much improved unit. Yeah, 229 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: mccinda begged in plays. I think he's a Lynch fancy 230 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: everything right. This is the guy who has from Innis Town. 231 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: We saw that town in his first year in the league. 232 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: But um injuries and other stuff like, he hasn't necessarily 233 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: been the same player have been available. So if he 234 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: comes back and plays, uh to his draft status. Man, 235 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: this team is is much better because they've done a 236 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: lot of good things in terms of retooling and rebuilding 237 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: this offensive line. I would expect this offense in line 238 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: to look different because now the quarterback is more experienced 239 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: in the ball should come out quicker. Yeah, this is 240 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: another team that I think has made major strides in 241 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: this area. I spet to see a more competitive any 242 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: different Jets team when they run out the tunnel this year. Yeah, 243 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the Jets and some of these 244 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: other categories as well. They will show up the Philadelphia 245 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: goals Again. I think this is a little bit of 246 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: the byproduct of some injuries, but Jalen Hurts maybe holding 247 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: on the ball, you know, trying to do too many 248 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: things there. It's it's gonna be a lot of young 249 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks showing up here. And that's how we talk about 250 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: these three piece trying to help these young quarterbacks. But 251 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, Jordan my Latta, you know, is well paid, 252 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: is one of the more talented left tackles. Landon Dickerson 253 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: comes back, I want to see him take that next step. 254 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: Kelsey gets you, you know, he's gonna get you one 255 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: more year. They drafted Cam Jurgen's behind him, so you've 256 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: got some depth there with Kelsey. Somalo is at right 257 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: guard and uh, you know Lane Johnson is good at 258 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: right tackle when he's on the field as anybody we 259 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: have in the league. Yeah, this is this is a really, 260 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: really good team, um, and everyone is excited about the 261 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: eaves and what they've done in the nf season. Uh, 262 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: this is the team upfront that has the talent um 263 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: to be much better than this list would indicate. I 264 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: think we can talk about this is a team that 265 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: prized itself in the offensive line and the way that 266 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: they play. I think they'll get back to that. And 267 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: as Jalen Hurts evolves and as he understands the timing 268 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: in the rhythm of a passing game, and how as 269 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: he gets more experienced, the ball should come out and 270 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: I don't think he will run into some of those mistakes. 271 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: But this is part of the challenge into the limit 272 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: that you have when you have one of those athletic quarterbacks. 273 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: They're great when they escape, but sometimes they run themselves 274 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: into trouble. And that is pretty indicative of some of 275 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: the stuff that we're seeing from the Eagles in terms 276 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: of where they stack up on this list. Yeah, the 277 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: last team here and the Eagles were at thirty eight 278 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: point four, so they were tied with the Jets at 279 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: thirty eight point three. Just below them the Seattle Seahawks. 280 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: So obviously russ Uh does something it's kind of been 281 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: known for, holing the ball, and and that can lead 282 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: him some of those pressures. All that was not that 283 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: was like the nineties Dallas Cowboys offensive line that he 284 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: was playing behind. There have been improvements here at Charles 285 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: Cross their first round pick they pick up Abraham Lucas 286 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: in the third round, so two of the more polished 287 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: past protectors in this draft class. Um, and then you've 288 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: got Damian Lewis, Austin blythe Gabe Jackson kind of along 289 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: that interior. It's gonna be on those rookie tackles. Man. 290 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: If those rocky tackles, uh kind of learn and grow, 291 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a better offensive line, you know, 292 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: maybe week nine or ten. Then you're gonna see maybe 293 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: week one, one to three. Yeah, I mean I think 294 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: that's a big thing, uh for them. This is a 295 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: team that has a continue to evolve. Um. They've they've 296 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: tried to reach off to Dick and get the pieces right. 297 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,599 Speaker 1: But it's tough, and it's gonna be tough when you 298 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: have younger but it's a more talented uh quintet and 299 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: the quintet that we saw at the end of the 300 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: last season. Yeah. So if we're going kind of you know, 301 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: improved not improved, I would say of that group, if 302 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna get kind of a one plus two plus 303 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: type thing, I I would look at the Falcons and 304 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying, man, that's it looks pretty pretty similar to 305 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: what they've had last year. I would say the Eagles 306 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: similar to what they've had last year. Now that's gonna 307 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: be a little bit on Jalen and continue to grow 308 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: and mature and them staying healthy along the offensive line, 309 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: I'd say the Carolina Panthers and the Seahawks got a 310 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: little bit better. And I would say of that group, 311 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: provided Beckton stays healthy and you bring over Lake in Tomlinson, 312 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: I would say that Jets would probably be the most 313 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: improved of that of that five fives in there. Yeah, 314 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: I would I would agree with you. The Jets have 315 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: improved in a some different areas, but improving up front 316 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: was a huge part of their rebuilding plan. Uh. They 317 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: should feel very comfortable with the guys that they have 318 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: in front of Zack Wilson. Now son Zack Wilson to 319 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: continue to evolve and grow and do the things that 320 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: we expect them do. Head into YouTube. All right, let's 321 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We're gonna come back. We're gonna 322 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: look at the playmakers, uh, for the teams near the bottom, 323 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: and see what those teams have done to get better. Okay, Buck, 324 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: we look at explosive pass plays. So these are past 325 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: plays over fifteen plus yards. We look at the five 326 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: worst teams in the league in that department, maybe some 327 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: will probably just some won't. Uh. Tied with seventy two, 328 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: which was the fewest, the Tennessee Titans in the Houston 329 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: Texans um right behind them the Jacksonville Jaguars. So, man, 330 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: the a f C South not an explosive passing division. Uh, 331 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: then you've got Pittsburgh and Indie tied at seventy five. 332 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: You've got all four of the five least explosive passing teams. 333 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: All that's that whole division. That's THEFC South. Well, I mean, 334 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: look in a division. Uh, if we name the best 335 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: receiver in that division before A. J. Brown was traded away, 336 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: he would kind of fall into that category. You to 337 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: Textans have Brandon Cooks, but that I mean, that's it. 338 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: You don't have elite playmakers on the outside. And so 339 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: then you think about that and the way they play defense. 340 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: Did they trying to take they run the ball and 341 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: play defense, and that they defense and they keep it 342 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: in front. But uh, to win games in the score points, 343 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: you have to deliver explosive plays. You have to get explosives, 344 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: and they're not generated enough. Explosive plays. All right, let's 345 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: look at Tennessee Titans. You mentioned it. I mean, this 346 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: is a team that didn't produce explosives with A J. Brown. 347 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: Now you take him out of the mix. So you know, 348 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: they get out and get trailing Burk's who trailing. Burke's 349 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: provided a lot of explosive plays at Arkansas, so you're 350 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: hoping he's going to give you some of that pop, 351 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: some of that life. They bring over Robert Woods um Wood. 352 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: He's kind of more I think, more of a possession 353 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: guy than a pure, you know, explosive down the field, 354 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: over the top guy. Uh. They at the running back position. 355 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: They come back and and kind of compliment Derrick Henry 356 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: with another kind of bulldog and Hassan Haskins out of Michigan. Uh, 357 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: the tight end position, they get a con Quo who 358 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, was interesting because he kind of fits that 359 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: mold of of tight ends they've had in the past. 360 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: When you think about Delaney Walker, Uh, you know they've 361 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: had that type of guy to haven't had him since 362 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: John J. Smith went to the went to the Patriots 363 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: and free agency. So they try and get some of 364 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: that there for some explosive plays, but I don't know, man. 365 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, you look at that group and say that 366 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a much more explosive group, It's hard 367 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: to say. It's hard to say that they're going to 368 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: be more explosive. The only thing that will change the 369 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: equation is opponents having to load up to deal with 370 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: King Henry uh, more guys in the box, more one 371 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: on one coverage. On the outside. You do have a 372 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: running Robert Woods who is terrific in terms of creating space, 373 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: but he's still not a big play playmaker. You know, 374 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: looking at it, man, you can see the Titans right 375 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: back in this same situation because I don't know if 376 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: they have enough. Normally we equate explosive plays with speed. 377 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: I don't know if they are fast enough unit on 378 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: the outside to deliver some of those explosive plays. Trailing 379 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: Burks is gonna be fascinating because you know, you look 380 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: at the forty time not gonna blow you away, But man, 381 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: he had a lot of long touchdowns in the SEC 382 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: playing against teams. He builds that speed as he gets going, 383 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: so I think there's some hope there. Yeah, So they 384 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: have to hope that he becomes a tackle breaking machine 385 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: on the perimeter. He catches the ball on the perimeter 386 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: much like a J. Brown, because a J. Brown a 387 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: bunch of explosive plays and he doesn't appear to have 388 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: that elite speed to run past you. But breaking tackles 389 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: being physics, that could be trailing Verst calling card. Yeah, 390 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: another thing too. We're just looking at the past place 391 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: here and obviously you look at explosive runs. Tennessee Titans 392 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: is gonna be right at the top of the list. Um, 393 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. You know from the passing game. They go 394 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: out and get John Metchi in the second round, Who's 395 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: one of the best possession receivers I think maybe one 396 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: of the best slot receivers in the draft class. Um, 397 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, Nico Collins coming back, he showed some promised 398 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks has been that consistent player, uh in this 399 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: league for a long time. So you know, I don't 400 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: know if they necessarily got much more explosive, but I think, 401 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, MATCHI adds to the group, Nico Collins is 402 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: going to continue to improve and get better. And you've 403 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: got Brandon Cooks, so you know, and then in the 404 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: offensive line wise, you bring in Kenyan Green in the 405 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: first round, so maybe that gives you more opportunity to 406 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: to get some things down the field. Um, I would 407 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: say that's that's going to be a little bit better. 408 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a drastically improved explosive unit, 409 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: but I think they'll be a little bit better. I 410 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: give him a one plus on that one buck one plus, Okay, 411 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: one plus. I think they are a little better. I 412 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: think a little bit. I think the quarterback is gonna bed. 413 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: I think the quarterback played really well the last half 414 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: of the season. He continues to build up on that 415 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: as he settles in taking use of the system. Should work. 416 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: Davis Mills and those guys throwing the ball on the outside. Okay, Jacksonville. Again, 417 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: we're doing a tour to the ANFC South in terms 418 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: of the non explosive passing games. Uh, they go out 419 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: and they are very active in free agency. Obviously, much 420 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: was made about Christian Kirk. Um, you've got he's gonna 421 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: be teamed up there with Marvin Jones and z Jones. Um, 422 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: you've got Lavisca Chennault coming back. Um, you know that's 423 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: kind of that that receiving corps that they're going to 424 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: be relying on now. You get Travis E t n 425 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: back in the backfield, maybe he gives you some explosive 426 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: plays out of the backfield and really catch the ball. 427 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: That was kind of his calling card. And they've made 428 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: some improvements along that offensive line. Uh, you go out 429 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: and your draft fortner at center, you signed Brandon Schurf 430 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: in free agency. You figure they should be a little 431 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: bit better there. Um, we're gonna get to them in 432 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: terms of points, and we'll talk about their play callers 433 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: and the new coaching staff, but just in terms of weaponry, Um, 434 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: what do you think here about the the upgrades that 435 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: were made or weren't made there? And well, significant upgrades 436 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: based on what they played with last year. Um, you know, 437 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: they just had better playmakers, better receivers, guys that can run, 438 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: rouse and catch passes. And that gives them a chance, um, 439 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: not necessarily a home run hitters, but just to uproot 440 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: and upgrade and talent gives them a chance to kind 441 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: of get out of this cell of dweller situation that 442 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: they're in. I don't know how much more explosive, but 443 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: I would say this, keep an eye on Evan Ingram. 444 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram could be the guy that delivers a ton 445 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: of I didn't even mention didn't even mention him because 446 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: he's a guy. He's a guy who has the opportunity 447 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: to create mismatches. And if you create mismatches, particularly against 448 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: linebackers and overmatch safeties or nickelbacks, that's when the big 449 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: plays happened. Uh, Jacksonville should be more explosive. And as 450 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: they tailored this Taylor this offense more towards Trevor Lawrence. 451 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: I think you see some of the things he did 452 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: it at Clemson and he was able to deliver pay 453 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: places when he was with the Titans. So we'll give 454 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: them a one. We'll give them a one plus as well. Uh, 455 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: let's let's move on to Pittsburgh. Here, Pittsburgh, you know 456 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: Ben notoriously, you know, played small ball here towards the 457 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: end of his career. They were tied with indeed, seventy 458 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: explosive past plays. We look at what they've done in 459 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: the off season. You go out and draft George Pickens 460 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: in the second round, who can go down the field 461 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: and go up and get it. You go out and 462 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: get Calvin Austin, who can fly, one of the fastest 463 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: players in the draft. You get him in the fourth round. 464 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: You've got Claypool coming back, Beyante Johnson coming back. Um, 465 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: they bring over Miles Boykin from Baltimore. Um, you know 466 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: that's they they've gotten They've got more dynamic. Uh, definitely 467 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: in the draft with with Pickens in Austin. Yeah, they 468 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: certainly have gotten better. And we talked about it. The 469 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: explosive plays really is because primarily dealt with Ben Roethlisberger 470 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: lack of arms strength, He couldn't push the ball down 471 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: to field. They have speedy players that can get past 472 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: people and run deep. But they certainly have upgraded the 473 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: speed and explosiveness on the outside. Depended upon which quarterback. 474 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: And we always talked about Mr Biskuye versus Kenny Picking. 475 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: But remember Mason Rudolph is in a build it. Maybe 476 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to do some of the stuff. 477 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: But whoever is that quarterback should offer them more vertical 478 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: threat ability, should be willing to test the deeper part 479 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: of the field. With the speed that they have, they 480 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: should be much improved in terms of the passing it. Yeah, 481 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to watch that quarterback battle, Uh 482 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: take place there. You've got a good tight end farm 483 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: with a good young tight end as well, but with 484 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: not only pick It and Trabisky being able to push 485 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: the ball Bverkeley, You've got two really good athletes who 486 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: are gonna be able to extend some places, which I 487 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: think will provide some more explosives as well. Um, okay, 488 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: let's get to the fifth team there. That's the Indianapolis Colts. UM. 489 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: This is a team obviously new quarterback with Matt Ryan 490 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: coming in there. Um, they draft Alec Pearce in the 491 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: second round. You've got Michael Pittman coming back. You've got 492 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, who you just keep waiting for him to 493 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: kind of put it all together. It hasn't happened yet, 494 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: but that's the group you're dealing with. Their UM, and 495 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: then they drafted Gilanni Woods in the third round. The 496 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: tight end who who's you know, one of the He 497 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: was probably the best traits tight end and the entire 498 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: draft terms of size, speed combination that he brings. So, uh, 499 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, I think Pierce and Woods that's the hope 500 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: there that you're gonna get some some dynamic down the 501 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: field plays from both guys. Who did that a lot 502 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: in college. Yeah, he did do it a lot. In college, 503 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: and what you're hoping is you now have a quarterback 504 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: who can identify the open areas of coverage, meaning in 505 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: the priest in that phase, being able to kind of 506 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 1: see when the defense is kind of showing their cards 507 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: and taking advantage of it. He also will accelerate the 508 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: development of the young white receivers. Part of the reason 509 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: why you want to have a veteran quarterback is because 510 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: they also can serve as that white receiver coach and 511 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: being able to tell young guys, here's what exactly I want. 512 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: Here's what I expect you to be in this coverage 513 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: or against this look, I'm gonna take my shots, so 514 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: be ready to have your antenta up um. I just 515 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: like to fit with Matt Ryan being in Indianapolis, and look, 516 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: they still costan to get another big time white receiver, 517 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: but with what they have and how they run the 518 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: ball with the quarterback that they have in place, I 519 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: think they'll be able to manufacture some explosive plays with 520 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: Matt Ryant executing what Frank Wright draws up on the 521 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: white board. All right, of those five teams, I guess my, 522 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, I think Tennessee. I don't know that they 523 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: are going, you know, losing a j Brown, don't know 524 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: that you're gonna be more explosive there. We hope we 525 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: have hoped there with trailing Burke's I think all those teams, 526 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: I kind of give them that one. Plus. I don't 527 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: think there's anybody that's just jumps off the page that 528 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: they've gotten so much better there. But I think I 529 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: would go with Pittsburgh, you know, with a combination of 530 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: Pickens in Austin and the draft um and then you 531 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: also look at the quarterback situation being able to push 532 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: the ball more vertically. Of those five teams in terms 533 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: of who's gonna make the biggest leap and explosives, I 534 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: think I might go with the Steelers. But how about you, Uh, 535 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: the only reason I won't go in the Steelers because 536 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: I actually believe, like given the Jaguar situation, I think 537 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence would be much better than he was a 538 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: season ago. I'm gonna go with the Jacks. And it's 539 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: not just a Homer pick, but we just look at 540 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: the improvements that they made Ed White receiver with a 541 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: quarterback friendly system being put in to have the quarterback, 542 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: I just think we see more big plays from them 543 00:24:58,760 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: that we saw in the past. I think they may 544 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: the biggest in the exposive play fact. No, that's fair, 545 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: that's fair. That's gonna lead us beautifully into the last 546 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: one here, which is we're gonna talk about the play 547 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: callers and how that can maybe impact these teams so 548 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: dead lasting points. These are the five worst teams and 549 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: points last year. Jacksonville, the Giants, the Texans, the Panthers, 550 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: the Jets. Again, you see a lot of these teams 551 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: showing up in in all these lists here, But Jacksonville 552 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: only fourteen point nine points a game. It's gonna get better, 553 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: hasn't No, it can't get worse. Um, you've got Doug 554 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: Peterson coming in there, Press Taylor, they have history together. Um. 555 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: I really like Press. Got to know him a little bit. 556 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: I think he's really sharp and really smart. I think 557 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: that group, you know, when you look at Trevor Lawrence 558 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: having some stability around him with this coaching staff, and 559 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, the the upgrades that you like 560 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: a lot in terms of receivers getting et N back. 561 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: I think this is a team that you know, fourteen 562 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: point nine. I don't know if they're gonna average twenty 563 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: eight points a game, Buck, But I can can we 564 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: get them to twenty? I mean we could make a 565 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: good four five point improvement here. Yeah, I think they 566 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: can make an improvement. And it's not just the guys 567 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: that you mentioned in the quarterback room talking about Doug 568 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: Peterson and Press Taylor, but then you have uh Mike McCoy, 569 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: former head coach of the Charges, who's been offense coordinator 570 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: in the league, done a bunch of different things. And 571 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: then you also have Jim Bob Cooler who helped Matthew 572 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: Stafford kind of find his way. So you see better 573 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: play and production from the quarterback. You have better personnel 574 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: on the perimeter. You have no choice but to get 575 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: better when you're improving those areas, no doubt. All right, 576 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: when we go next on the list here um averaging 577 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: a whopping fifteen point two points per game. Uh, that 578 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: is the New York Giants. So the Giants, you look 579 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: at at what they do. You bring in Brian day Ball. Uh, 580 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: Mike Kafki is gonna come over from Kansas City. I've 581 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: always thought he was kind of one of those bright 582 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: young minds. He's gonna be a head coach. You talked 583 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: about fitting the profile. I mean backup quarterback Northwestern around 584 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: Andy Reid. You know, he's like, if you can show, 585 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: if you can show that he can coordinate an offense 586 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: regardless of whether he's calling the plays, and huh, like 587 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: that's the next step for him in terms of checking 588 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: off the box. The boxes like this is huge. So 589 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: he gets an opportunity with the Giants, and look, this 590 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: is a team that should be better. I just think 591 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: the organization of the offense will be better because of 592 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: Brian day ball and that offensive staff's ability to kind 593 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: of modernize what they're doing on that side of the ball. 594 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: You have a quarterback who is athletic enough to make 595 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: plays with his arms and legs when it comes to 596 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and then as a matter of a Saycoan 597 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: Barkley is back, they're able to kind of run the 598 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: football and do some things throwing the ball to him 599 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: on the outside. This should be an improved offensive lineup, 600 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: just with the guys returning to half and having better 601 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: organization on offense. Yeah, no, I think that. I think 602 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: both those teams are double pluses when you look at 603 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: just you know, the structure the organization that they have. 604 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: I think you look at also Evan Neil helping that 605 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: offensive line should be a little bit better there. Um, 606 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, I think both those teams are going to 607 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: be improved. All right. The Houston Texans, Um, we we've 608 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: talked about them. You're gonna get a chance ce Davis 609 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: Mills coming back here. Uh you know, see type of 610 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: improvements he makes. Um. You know when you look at 611 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: them averaging sixteen point five points a game. Buck again, 612 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: it's got to get better. We we talked about them 613 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: lacking in explosive plays. They showed up in that list 614 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: in the past game. Um, but you know you've got 615 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: Pep Hamilton's gonna take over the reins. Um, who's who's 616 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: already been in the building coaching the quarterbacks. He's gonna 617 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: be the offensive coordinator. How optimistic argued that this group 618 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit more productive. I'm optimistic 619 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: only because of the quarterback. I think the quarterback is 620 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: pretty good. I think David's Mills is going to be 621 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: a really good quarterback. And they were able to get 622 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: him in the third round. But if you come out 623 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: in this year's draft, he would have been in that 624 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: conversation as the top quarterback that come out, so I 625 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: think he'll improve. He got better over the last half 626 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: of the season. Um, the weapons around him still leave 627 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: something to be desired, but systematically, I think they're more efficient. 628 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: So where you given the Jags and the Giants double pluses? 629 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you can give them a single I 630 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: give him a single plus. That's a one plus. That's 631 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: a one plus. All right, Carolina Panthers average seventeen point 632 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: nine points per game. And Ben mcadoo's back in business. Uh, 633 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna take over rest a new offensive coordinator there. 634 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: Uh we've mentioned Carolina. They showed up in the pressure 635 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: percentage list. Uh, they were the second worst in the 636 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: league in that regard. We agree they've improved the offensive line. Um, 637 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: what are you confident in Ben McAdoo, Uh, and his 638 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: ability to try and take this offense out of the 639 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: doldrums here and be a little bit more productive. I 640 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: think they will be more productive. H two factors. Christian 641 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: McCaffrey comes back, and I believe Ben McAdoo will find 642 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: a way to simplify the offense for Sam Donald for 643 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: him to have more consistency in terms of his production. 644 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's going to be a top ten 645 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: or top fifteen quarter right. But I think he would 646 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: be more consistent because we have seen Ben McAdoo go 647 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: from Green Bay to the Giants and help Eli Manning 648 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: become more consistent by putting an emphasis on the quick 649 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: rhythm passing game. That might really help Sam Donald by 650 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: like simplifying it. Make it quick rhythm, get the ball 651 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: out of his hands, and just go what we call 652 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: a think, you call it hunt completions. Just go chase completions. 653 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: Go see if you can string together seven, eight, nineteen 654 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: completions in a row, make the defense adjust, and then 655 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: selectively take your shofts down the field. But I would 656 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: just beg this team to be I think it be. 657 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: It would be more effective and more efficient. Yeah, be 658 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: a completion collector. Um, that's what they're gonna ask. I'm 659 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: gonna give them a baby plus. So we've got the 660 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: regular plus, we've got the double plus. I'm gonna give 661 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: them the baby plus. So it's a plus. But it's 662 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: not like the All Caps plus. It's just that little fun, 663 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: small fund, small fun, small small font plus. Okay, the 664 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: Jets bring back Mike Lafleur. It's year two in that system. 665 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: I think this is a nice mix of continuity with 666 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: your play caller and your quarterback, with the quarterback making 667 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: some improvements hopefully obviously everybody knows about the weight that 668 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: he's put on, gotten stronger, and then the talent that 669 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: they've a you know, assembled around him. You know it 670 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: really everywhere tight ends. Uh, you look at backs, you 671 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: look at receivers. They're just a more talented team with 672 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: a little continuity there between the Lord and Zach Wilson. 673 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me, Buck, I think we went 674 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: double pluses on Jacksonville, double pluses on the Giants. I 675 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: think I would go double pluses on the Jets here 676 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I think so. They have so many 677 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: um weapons in terms of the upgrades. You know, we 678 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: talked about Garrett Wilson, but I think the tight ends 679 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: C JR. Usama coming over really helps them. You saw 680 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: the don't sleep on Tyler Conklin, I mean early stuff 681 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: out of there. Tyler Conklin's it can play. So I 682 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't meant and you had Ruckert. They got three tight ends. 683 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: They were probably better name tight end they had in 684 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: the roster last year. Yeah, so now you can control 685 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: the middle of field. And we've seen what this offense 686 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: looks like when San Francisco was able to go with 687 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: the multiple tight ends and guys who have versatility and 688 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: put them all over the field and make you adapt 689 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: and adjust and react to what they're doing. Yeah, it 690 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: gives you a chance. It gives you a chance to 691 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: be really, really successful offensively and overall. Man, this should 692 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: be a lot of optimism and Broadway on the Jets 693 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: because they've done a really good job in the off season. 694 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: And what has done on paper is one thing, but 695 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: you can just begin to imagine how the piece of 696 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: the polls are gonna come together. I should be a 697 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: lot of excitement in New York. Okay, So in the 698 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: pressure percentage, we both agreed we went to Jets would 699 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: be the most improved explosive pass plays. I went Pittsburgh, 700 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: you went Jacksonville and Points. I would go with the Jets. Here, Uh, 701 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: we we had kind of the Jacksonville, the Giants, and 702 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: the Jets where the three that we identified we thought, 703 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: with the play caller aspect of it would be most improved. 704 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: What was your vote in that one? So you've got Jacksonville, Giants, Jets. Look, 705 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that, like I can. 706 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: I can go with the Jets on that. I think 707 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: the Jets will but a point I'm gonna you know, 708 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna with the Giants because I think Daniel Jones 709 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: has been underrated. I think Brian day Ball, We'll have 710 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: us see the best version of Daniel Jones, whatever that 711 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: version is. Okay, So if you've been listening, then following on, 712 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: let's sum it up here. When we looked at the 713 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: three p's past protection, playmakers, play callers, and we looked 714 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: at the five worst teams in those three categories, and 715 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: we've kind of gone through it and we've identified teams 716 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: that we think are going to be better this year. 717 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: So improvement is coming based off this little study that 718 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: we just put together here. Uh, you can count on 719 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: the Jets being better. Um, so you should be significantly 720 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: better according to what we've done here. You look at 721 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is going to be better, Pittsburgh is gonna be better, uh, 722 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: and the Giants are gonna be better. So those are 723 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: the teams are two teams in New York Jacksonville, uh, Pittsburgh, 724 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: those are the Those are the teams that we are 725 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: optimistic about that are going to take their next step 726 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: here going for I think that's a kind of a 727 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: fun exercise book. Now it is a fun excise. Look, 728 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean we're getting close. It's funny DJ because there's 729 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: only a couple of weeks left of the off season 730 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: and before you know it, but by the time we're 731 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: go on vacation to come back training camp is a 732 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: pun us and it is on and the marathon begins 733 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: all over again.
