1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: and our good friend Rhett Blew us with us here 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: as we get a chance to look back at a 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: weekend of football. Guys, that was pretty spectacular. Buck, you 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: were at the Jags game, which was an incredible game, 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: a competitive game against the Commanders. Rhett, you're out, You're 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: all over the place, you're calling the Indiana football game. 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: Then you're coming back in studio getting everybody covered for 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: all of this Sunday slate. And I saw a good 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: matchup with the Chargers and the Raiders in the a 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: f C West. Uh. Guys, we got a full show today. 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,959 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a chance to talk about some surprises. 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: We're get a chance to talk some college football, but 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: off the top here we gotta talk about the Big Three, 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: and Buck, I want to get to you first here 17 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: on this first game, which was Steelers Bengals, which was 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: absolutely wild. All the turnovers for Burrow, yet they still 19 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: have a chance to win it. But somehow Minca Fitzpatrick 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: found a way to take this foot all game over 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: early and late. Yeah, absolutely I think makeup his fascion 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: is the one that stood out to me because he 23 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: played himself into the Defensive Player of the Year award 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: in one game. When you think about what he was 25 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: able to do, A big time interception, comes off the edge, 26 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: blocks a critical uh p, a t at the end 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: to give them a chance. Those are kind of things 28 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: that you expect to see from your five star players 29 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: on the back end. And then I got to give 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: a lot of credit to Mike tomlind and what this 31 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 1: team is always able to overcome. You lose t J Watt, 32 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: you're playing with the quarterback Mr Biscuite who's still trying 33 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: to figure it out. But this team just finds a 34 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: way to get to the winner circle. So hats off 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: to the Stiller's, hats off to Mike Tomland. They just 36 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: find a way to continue to keep keeping on in 37 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: spite of the circumstances that sometimes a challenge in front 38 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, and DJ looking at the other side 39 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: of things with the Bengals, I mean, this was a 40 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: disaster based on all of the commitment that the Bengals 41 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: had made to improving the biggest area of weakness in 42 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: this entire team, and you're go, which was the offensive line. 43 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: You got four new starters up there when and made 44 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: a couple of splashes in free agency, Lyle Collins Kappa 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: carrass that whole crew, and then you know you're pressured 46 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: more almost ten percent more on dropbacks in this game 47 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: than Joe Burrow was the entire season on average a 48 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: year ago. A seven sacks, four interceptions, completely uncharacteristic performance 49 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: from Burrow. Some of those picks were on him, some 50 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: of them were as a result of pressure. Everyone took 51 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: their lumps in the protection department along the offensive line. 52 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: But the biggest disappointment to me, if I'm a Bengals fan, 53 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: is the one guy that we were counting on, the 54 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: one mainstay along the offensive line, Jonah Williams. He got 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: whooped a couple of times by Alex Highsmith, who ended 56 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: up with three sacks more on him and a little 57 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: bit later. Um, but right now, if you spend all 58 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: that money and all that commitment to try to improve 59 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: this offensive line, I know it's only week one. We'll 60 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: say that a number of times in this show, but 61 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: that's troubling. Yeah, right. You know The interesting thing is 62 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: I look at a lot of these week one games 63 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: and we'll go through a bunch of them, and you 64 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: don't want to get carried away. It's one result. Let's 65 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: not get the two nuts here, you know, making these 66 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: drastic takeaways. But when I look at the kind of 67 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: the underlying factors here for the Bengals, it feels a 68 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: lot like last year. I mean, they still were in 69 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: a position to win the football game despite all those turnovers, 70 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: all those sacks, because Jamaar j is still an elite player. 71 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: When you had to have a drive, Joe Burrow was 72 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: able to deliver a drive. They make that p A 73 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: T we're talking about. Man, They've able to overcome these 74 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: offensive line issues, the turnover issues. They still have their stars. 75 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. Don't panic Bengals fans. They're gonna 76 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: get better. They're gonna get better up front. They're not 77 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna have turnover games like this often. I want to 78 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: give the Steelers their credit though, for just kind of 79 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: a gritty win. I mean, I thought Trabisky was steady 80 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: and solid. I think there's any spectacular about the way 81 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: he played, but they found their way into the Winter Circle. Uh. 82 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: It is a concern though, with the T. J. Watt injury. 83 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: It sounds like not career, not season ending, but is 84 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: gonna miss a few weeks here, and that is a 85 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: big piece to their defense. But we we said at 86 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, Buck the Steelers, they're a 87 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: team that bad years for them are five hundred years. 88 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Like even if there's kind of a little bit of 89 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: a rebuild taking place. Now, you gotta they're gonna show 90 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: him play each and every week. Yeah, they do show 91 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: him to play nothing. Mike tomlann hit the nail on 92 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: the hit in his postgame pressor. He talked about the 93 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: new guys coming in and playing up to the standard 94 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: and how impressive there was. The guys who haven't been 95 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: around the team, guys who don't understand whether organized organization 96 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: is about. They're able to come in and kind of 97 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: live up to their their motto. Mike Timon always talks 98 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: about the standard is the standard. So when you are 99 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: organization is one I think six Super Bowls, that's kind 100 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: of how you get down. And so those guys played 101 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: to a championship spirit. They were able to get a 102 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: big win, a surprising win against the uh defending a 103 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: f C champions Yeah, but you gotta watch out for 104 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: the Nachi Harris injury too, was already dealing with a 105 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: little bit of a Liz Frank issue and then had 106 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: to leave the game late. So you know, you're looking 107 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: at the possibility of losing you know, your best defensive 108 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: player and arguably your best offensive player as well moving 109 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: forward in a very tough division. Yeah, and no doubt. 110 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: Hey goodwin though for the Pittsburgh Steelers getted that one 111 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: out in overtime. The game. I was at Raiders Chargers 112 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: a f C West, but the most high division in 113 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: the offseason, kind of an arms race, so to speak, 114 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: with all the additions that were made. We saw that 115 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: Raiders defensive front with Chandler Jones and Max Crosby Chargers 116 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: offensive lie. I thought that did a nice job. That 117 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: hung in there, didn't give up any sacks. You flip 118 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: it over to the other side and Rhett, you've got 119 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: a Charger defense with Khalil mac showing he's not done yet. 120 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: Three sacks from him. Bosa has a sack on a 121 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: on a trick play. They tried to run a reverse pass. 122 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: They're almost like a Philly special. He sniffs that one out. 123 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: But I thought the Charger defense was excellent, And I thought, look, 124 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: justin Herbert No Keenan Allen, he goes out of the 125 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: game early, didn't seem to matter. He's throwing a touchdowns 126 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: to whoever's open. Yeah, I mean you picked your poison 127 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: for sure. And I think what the one thing that 128 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: kind of flew into the radar with all those massive 129 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: quarterback transactions this offseason was the upgrade on the defensive 130 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: side of the ball by the l A Chargers. And 131 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: we didn't even see the main free agent acquisition right 132 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: with J. C. Jackson out for the game, and they 133 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: still handled. Um. I thought, you know, Davante Adams got 134 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: his yards, but I thought they handled the other options 135 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: and Waller and Renfro very well in this game. And 136 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, um, you know w now one of 137 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: the best pass rushing tandems in the league. We talked 138 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: about the Raiders in that vein quite a bit with 139 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Max Crosby and Chandler Jones. Jones shut out in the 140 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: second half. I don't think you had a single pressure 141 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: on Rashons later side, but Bosa and Mac combining for 142 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: six team pressures, both of them getting generating pressure on 143 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: over their rushes and that's winning football on the defensive side, 144 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: and especially in that division where the quarterback play is 145 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: so good and expected to be so good all year long. 146 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: They have to count on that each and every week. 147 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: And I know, DJ, you were pretty interested in, um, 148 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, the way that Derwin James was used in 149 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: this game kind of all over the place. Yeah, it 150 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: was ridiculous. But we were talking about this a little 151 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: bit earlier before we started. I mean, it's just unbelievable 152 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: when you have Derwin James in man coverage at times 153 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: against Hunter Renfro, against Darren Waller. The last play of 154 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: the game, he actually travels with Davante Adams. Then you 155 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: have a sack runs through Josh Jacobs. He's playing high 156 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean, buck, you know, this kid always going back 157 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: to high school. So every time I tell you something 158 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: I've seen with Derwin James being around him, you always 159 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: reminded me this is something you saw in an eighteen 160 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: year old kid. Yeah, he's one of the more special 161 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: players that we have seen the National Football League. His 162 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: versatility allows Brandon Sailey to do whatever he wants to 163 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: do on defense. He talked about him being a superstar 164 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: in Eracer DJ. We've used that term in terms of 165 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: you can put Derwin James wherever you need to put 166 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: him to erase the threat that the other team has. 167 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: And so, in watching your tweet, because you tweeted this 168 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: out after watching the game, you said, he lined up 169 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: outside on Davonte Adagy, lined up inside and outside on 170 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: Dinner Wallet Hunter Renfroe came in the box blitz uh, 171 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: playing the deep middle of it, had a big hit. 172 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: He does everything that you want to see. And so 173 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: he is the model of the new school safety that 174 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: you want. A guy who is that chess piece that 175 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: you put somewhere on the second level of the defense 176 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: with an ever changing job description. That's Derwin James. Because 177 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: Derwyn James is, without question, one of the best football 178 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: players in the National Football League. He gave us a 179 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: small glimpse of his many talents as a big time playmaker. Yeah, 180 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, look, guys, I kind of summarize this one 181 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: and wrap it up. This is uh, this is gonna 182 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: be a contested division. Every game is gonna be like 183 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: this one, where you've got a team with the ball 184 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: in their hands and chances go down and win it. 185 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,119 Speaker 1: I feel spoiled getting a chance to call these charger 186 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: games because all of them are are close, all of 187 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: them are competitive, alto are entertaining, and here you go, 188 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: turn around. They gotta play on Thursday at Kansas City, 189 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: a team we'll talk about a little bit later off 190 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: to a very hot start. So this this a f 191 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: C West, is not going to disappoint the third game, 192 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go Bucks Cowboys for the third biggest 193 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: game of the weekend. In terms of the takeaways, I mean, guys, Buck, 194 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: this was futility on the part of the Dallas Cowboys. 195 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: We'll give the Bucks their flowers. They played great defense. Uh, 196 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: they were able to get out of there what they win. 197 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: But man, the story of this one not just the 198 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: dock injury, which is gonna sideline him for a while. 199 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: They look terrible with that offensively bad bad football, Yeah, 200 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: bad football, A lot of bad football. And to me, 201 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboys fan and you're Cowboys front office exec, 202 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: you have to look at the team that was on 203 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: the field and you have to ask yourself, did we 204 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: really get better we traded away of Mary Cooper because 205 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: in my mind, when you traded where Mary Cooper, you 206 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: reset the pecking order of the passing game. Now Ceedee 207 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: Lamb goes from number two to number one. Michael Gallup, 208 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: who you're counting on to be a number two, is 209 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: really a number three. And then all the other unheralded 210 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: guys are now on the field. Well, now you remove 211 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup's Ceedee Lamb and a cast of no names, 212 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, they needed to know names to make plays, 213 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: and they couldn't create separation, they couldn't get open. It 214 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: disrupted the signment in the rhythm of the passing game. 215 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,479 Speaker 1: And then when you know that the opponent is struggling, 216 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: you don't let up off the gas. Tye Bowls kept 217 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: the pressure on them, kept coming after them. Guys never 218 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: were able to settle in and find a rhythm as 219 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: play makers. Yeah, look, I think I'll double down on 220 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: that because the numbers kind of bear that out a 221 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: little bit, that lack of the ability to win on 222 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: the outside. Outside of Ceedee Lamb uh Dak Prescott just 223 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: four completions in this ball game targeting receivers out wide. Okay, 224 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: that's one part of it, right. The next part of 225 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: it is he was sub fifty percent completion when he 226 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: had two and a half seconds to throw, or more right, 227 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: so when he had time to throw, he's sitting back there, looking, looking, 228 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: and not finding anybody opening in a way that's going 229 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: to generate a completion. So you know that goes back 230 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: to Michael Gallup not being ready, not out there after 231 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: the a c L injury last year. And I think 232 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: that's part of the reasoning. You know, you're like, Okay, 233 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: we'll send a Marie Cooper on his way. We think 234 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, we're gonna pay him, and we think he's 235 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: gonna be the type of player that provides the complement 236 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: to Ceedee Lamb, maybe jumps in there is the number two. 237 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: And then they go out and signed James Washington. He 238 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: gets hurt, so he's hurt, gallops out, and now Ceedee 239 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: Lamb is the guy getting all the attention. With Dalton 240 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: Schultz in there should be a bigger part of the 241 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: game plan too. Was a guy with the third most 242 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: receptions of any tight end and football year ago. Um. 243 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: And then you know the run game was okay, um, 244 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: I guess, but offensive line wise, they're still letting up 245 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: pressures there against Doc and and then when he did 246 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: have the time to throw, there just wasn't a lot 247 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: of options out there. The one thing that they can 248 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: hang their hat on, though. DJ Michael Parsons pressuring the quarterback, 249 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: my goodness, I mean he was a game wrecker on 250 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball once again. No, he 251 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: was phenomenal. I'll just leave you with this buck. I 252 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: remember the story about Tom Moore as the offensive coordinator 253 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: for the Cult with Peyton Manning. Somebody wants asked him 254 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: how many reps do you give your backup quarterback when 255 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: Peyton was there, and he said, look, if Peyton gets hurt, 256 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: we're screwed. Why would we want to practice being screwed? Okay, 257 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: he gets Peyton gets a percent of the reps. I 258 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: don't know that there's a team with a greater disparity 259 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: between starter and backup that. I don't see how this 260 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: team is going to get their way to the winner circle. 261 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: With Cooper Rush God, God bless him. I think he's 262 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: a competitive he's he's tough. This is a major problem 263 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: for them right now with Dak missing time. Dak was rusty. 264 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: I think Dak that I chalked that up to just 265 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: some rest. He didn't play well. I got the sense 266 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: he'll be fine, he'll work it all out. But man, Buck, 267 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: you go from Dak Prescott the Cooper Rush and your 268 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: offensive line is in shambles. This this is no bueno 269 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, not good form Dallas Cowboys 270 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: at all. And it's one of the things where defense 271 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: played great defense. Hell tem Bay booking is the nineteen 272 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: points the rule of thumb in the National Football They 273 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: give you a whole teams, so about seventeen more games 274 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: than not you're going to win. So they did a 275 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: really good job keeping the ball in front and not 276 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: letting the Buccaneers leak out, didn't give up any big 277 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: explosive plays. Offensively, they couldn't get it going. And when 278 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: I look at this team, I just don't know if 279 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: they really know what their identity is because when you 280 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: look at how you portray yourself or how you say 281 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: you want to play, and then you look at the statue, 282 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't line up. They had no doubt. Um, you 283 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: know the one trade. We don't see division trades very often, 284 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: But man, how are you Roseman such a wheeler dealer? 285 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: I wonder if he calls in the division to their 286 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: heated rival and you give me a two for gardenmentshoe 287 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: give me, give me, give me two, Well, will make 288 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: something happen here? I don't what do you give up 289 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: a six to get minshew? That'd be quite a deal. Yeah, 290 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: I turn around and turnments you from a six to 291 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: a team desperate, desperate times, desperate measures. Uh, we'll send 292 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: you right here. Uh going forward with the Cowboys. Do 293 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna 294 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: come back with eight surprises. And week one it was 295 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: tough to narrow it down a bunch of surprises here 296 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: as we kick off the NFL season alright back by 297 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: popular demand, we're gonna keep the Elite eight team going 298 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: again this year, and guys, we're gonna look at eight 299 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: surprises from week one because it was a bonkers week 300 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: in terms of what expectations and what we actually got. 301 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: There were surprises galore. Right, I can kick it off 302 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: with us here with the Giants and say Kwon Barkley 303 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: and seeing the guy that we all thought we would 304 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: see when he came into this league. Just a reminder 305 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he's as good as we have in 306 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: terms of the exclusiveness in the backfield eight team for 307 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: a buck sixty four and a touchdown on the ground 308 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: also caught six balls this offense. We talked all offseason 309 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: about Daniel Jones and this prove it year and where 310 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: the weapon is gonna come from. Well, it turns out, 311 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, Buck the biggest weapons the guy lined up 312 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: right behind him. Yeah. Absolutely, he's a big weapon. And 313 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: what I love about this is Brian Dabo find a 314 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: way to tap into his mini talents. One. He got 315 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: eighteen carriage, which is more than enough for Sae Kwon 316 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: Barkley to pop out. We talked about him being a 317 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: guy that can have a few negative runs and he 318 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: has a big one to make up for it when 319 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: it comes to average, but having the trust to give 320 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: the ball to him in a two minutes at two 321 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: point situation to win the game. I love it. We 322 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: talked about what Brian dave Ball was able to do 323 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. I think Sae Kwon Barkley might be 324 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: the next pupil that we talked about kind of benefiting 325 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: from his success and his wise worse. Yeah, I mean, 326 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the biggest revelations of 327 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: this entire Week one and it was the explosive place right, 328 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, like the Giants offense you know, has been 329 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: a nimick in general, and they've been without chunk plays, 330 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: big runs, runs of ten plus and run a sixty 331 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: plus in this game with Sae Kwon Barkley. And then 332 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: I loved how Daniel Jones bounced back after the red 333 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: zone interception. He comes back in and uh and ends 334 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: up getting them down there for the go ahead touchdown 335 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: in two point conversions. So let's keep moving though on 336 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: the Elite eight here, Bucky what he got, I got 337 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders and the diversified offense. I gotta give 338 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: him a flowers to Scott Turner, office coordinator for the Commanders. 339 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: He did a great job of utilizing all the weapons. 340 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: And a lot of the focus and attention will be 341 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz, but let me tell you sitting there 342 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: watching it, Curtis Samuel and Antonio Gibson had big gangs 343 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: because what they did is they tapped into their old 344 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: wide receiver mentalities and bodies, meaning they were used in 345 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: the backfield, they were used out in space, they got handoffs, 346 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: they got plenty of receptions. And because they were so 347 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: dynamic and it was so creative and clever, how Scott 348 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: Turner utilized them did Jaz could never really get a 349 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: sense of where they're adding what they're doing. That enabled 350 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz to get comfortable because it was a bunch 351 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: of easy throws, a little pitch and catch. He got 352 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: his confidence going and then that offense to start rolling. 353 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: But let me also give Carson Wins some credit. Had 354 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: a couple of bad turnovers to the point where you're 355 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: in the fourth corter, you wonder, is this when the 356 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: meltdown happens, comes right back his terry, a big touchdown, 357 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: a beautiful ball, and then he ice is a game 358 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: with a tear drop to John Dawson, Washington Commander's head 359 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: a going and I think you could see what it 360 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: could look like with Carson Wentz when he's playing at 361 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: his best. Yeah, I would agree with thought that was 362 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: awesome to see. Yeah, that's just my quick my quick 363 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: tag on that. That just that looked like a fast 364 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: football team. There's some things you know we're gonna see 365 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: as a as a season rolls along. That there's a 366 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: week one can be a little bit of an outlier. 367 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: You don't read too much into it. But the team's fast. 368 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: They're fast and to meet when I watched that Washington team. 369 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, they're fast. They got legit speed 370 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: up there. Yeah, and we saw Curtis Samuel really for 371 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: the first time it felt like in a commander's uniform 372 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: since he came over from the Panthers. So they got 373 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: a nice little triple headed, a three headed monster with 374 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: the wide receivers. All right, let me get to my 375 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: my first lead eight here, and I'm gonna go down 376 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: to Houston where the Texans had a twenty to three 377 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: lead and again that nobody really expected them to be 378 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: in against the Indianapolis Colts. And O. J. Howard was 379 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: one of the biggest reasons why. Yes. O J. Howard, 380 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: who began this preseason with the Buffalo Bills, was cut 381 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: there after a few seasons with the Tampa Bay Bucks. 382 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: You remember in his the first round pick out of Alabama. 383 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: Uh and he comes in and made the most of 384 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: his two receptions. Both of them went four touchdowns. So O. J. Howard, 385 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: who had just one touchdown all of last season and 386 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: three all of the last two years, ends up with 387 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: two in Week one for the Texans. Big ones from 388 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: Davis Mills there, and I know they came out with 389 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: the tie. I don't know how we feel about that, 390 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: but I think Houston Texas fans can feel pretty good 391 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: about a nice little acquisition before the season started, getting O. J. 392 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: Howard in there. That was a nice little look at 393 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: to me that that was a big surprize buck just 394 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: how competitive they were. Yeah, sif had him going. They 395 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,239 Speaker 1: were up twenty two three, and you thought, man, are 396 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: the texts are gonna blow the end of athletes comes out. 397 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: They let the cold slip back in, but till they 398 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: credit they were able to walk out with the tie. 399 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: O J. I would come in off to we being 400 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: able to control the middlefield. I like what the texts 401 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: are doing. You get a big target like that who's 402 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: the athletic and have to be able to control the seams. 403 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: Easiest throw for the quarterback is right down in the middle. 404 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: They're trying to have the young quarterback continue to grow progress. 405 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: Hey do it on the good on the Houston Texans 406 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: putting on a good show being competitive. I'm gonna go 407 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: to the Bears. That might be one of the most 408 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: surprising ones in the whole weekend. Forty nine is a 409 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: team I thought a chance to be a Super Bowl team. 410 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: I know there's bad weather, um, and I know people 411 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: are gonna pile on trade Lance and kill him for 412 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: this performance wasn't great. It's just let's slow down a 413 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: little bit on that one. But on the bare side 414 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: of things, I like the game plan. Going back and 415 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: watching that tape. Offensive line was a concern. They still 416 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: got beat up a little bit, but I thought they 417 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: let Justin Fields grow into this game. But early on, guys, 418 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: it was checkdowns, it was screens, it was moving the pocket. 419 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: And then as the game got going and got later 420 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: into the game, he saw his confidence grow. That to 421 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: me was big. Let Field settle into this game. Don't 422 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: lose this game early, Buck, with the young quarterback and 423 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: bad weather against a good defense, I thought they led 424 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: him kind of ease into the ball game. Yeah, DJ, 425 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: there's the same. More games are lost than one, so 426 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: the early part of the game. What you trying to 427 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: do is avoid making those losing plays, turning it over, 428 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: having a prestamp penalties and those things. When you have 429 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: a young quarterback playing in a new system with a 430 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: suspect offensive line, don't put him in harm's way. Always 431 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: alleged to take the more conservative approach, ease him into 432 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: the game and then let him go after it. And 433 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: when you had an opportunity to dialed up, man, he 434 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: dialed it up. And you're the forty nine. As you're 435 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: looking across the field, you see justin fields get their going. 436 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: You certainly hope that Trey Lance would be able to 437 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: play that debt. But if I'm a Bears man, I'm 438 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: really excited because the defense and fields that gives us 439 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: a chance to win games, I'm a little concerned if 440 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: from the forty nine in the run game, Um, you 441 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: know that that was a game that was built for 442 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: them to go out there and just kind of mash 443 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: it right with the rain and the weather, and that's 444 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: a team that's built for that kind of game, and 445 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: they just didn't take over on that side of the ball. 446 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: In the run game, I mean, Trey Lance wasn't very 447 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: effective running the football either. And then Eli Mitchell goes 448 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,719 Speaker 1: down after dealing with an injury for much of the preseason, 449 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: he goes down and then has to leave and does 450 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: not come back after a knee injury. So you know, 451 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: this is a team I feel like that that get 452 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: you know, they get snake bitten with injuries at the 453 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: running back spot, but somebody else is always there to 454 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: pick up the slide. It sounds like Jeff Wilson will 455 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: be that next guy to get the rock for the 456 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners. Yeah, Jeff Wilson, it gets the rock. 457 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: Defot not is a continue to find a way to 458 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: run the ball. The system will eventually help him have success. 459 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: Speaking of systems, how about Kanna City Chiefs and their system. 460 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes number fifteen kind of quilled some of the 461 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: concerns about the Kana City Chiefs offense being able to 462 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: exist without Tyree Hill put on an outstanding performance against 463 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals five touchdown passes, I mean four different 464 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: dudes being able to touch it, throwing all over the yord, 465 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 1: making sure he used every option in the progression. And 466 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: I've said this, I feel like it's going to be 467 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: additioned by subtraction, not necessarily that the team is better 468 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: because Tyreek Killer is there. I expect Pat my Homes 469 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: to be better because now he's going to play a 470 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: little more traditional quarterback, a little more in terms of 471 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: stand with the reads and as he gets better just 472 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: to take it with the defense gives him. It now 473 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: makes a guy who was already dangerous as an m 474 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: v P scary because now he can utilize all the things. 475 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: He has a bunch of more tools to be able 476 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: to use to be able to attack the defense. How 477 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: many times have we seen the stat about Andy Reid 478 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: coming off of a bye Uh, Andy Reid has an 479 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: extra week to prepare, You're in trouble. Andy Reid has 480 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: an offseason to prepare. Good luck, good luck everybody. He's 481 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: gonna dial it up and they're going to execute at 482 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: a very high level. I think is this test is 483 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: gonna be Thursday night Chiefs Chargers Derwin, James and Kelsey. 484 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: That seems to be the matchup they've had over the 485 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: last few years. And when Derwin has been healthy out there, 486 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: it's been competitive. He's done a really nice job. So 487 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: you can say they're spreading the ball around. This still 488 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: is Travis Kelsey eight for a buck, twenty one and 489 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He is still their premier guy. So I 490 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: want to see a game where that gets kind of 491 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: taken away, and then what do the rest of these 492 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: guys do to step up around Patrick Mahomes. That's a 493 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: heck of a start against Arizona Cardinals. But I think 494 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: we'll learn a lot more about this team when they 495 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: play the Chargers on Thursday night. All right, Rett, keep 496 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: us going here. What's the next one? Yeah, And I'll 497 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: just say, by the way, Clyde Edwards de Laire getting 498 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: himself in the en zone a couple of times in 499 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: the past game, kind of something that that got lost 500 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 1: in the shuffle of the course of this offseason, as 501 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: as another guy that can be a piece of that 502 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: pass game. All right, I'll keep it moving. Going back 503 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: to that Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers game. This is 504 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: maybe counterculture to the Tom Moore philosophy here, um, but 505 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: you do have a backup long snapper right in case 506 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: of emergency. And unfortunately that emergency had to break the 507 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: glass in Cincinnati yesterday because Clark Harris, the normal long 508 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: snapper both on punts and field goals, ended up with 509 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: a torn biceps, as Tom Pellicero has just reported, which is, 510 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, obviously bad news for Cincinnati, which forced Mitchell 511 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: Wilcox in there as the backup long snapper. And I 512 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: was reading a tweet from Mike Gardi our pal here 513 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: and I fell network earlier and and he was had 514 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: a quote from Um Wilcox that said, yeah, I wish 515 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: I would have had more time. I wish I would 516 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: have been able to practice more field goal snaps and 517 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: mostly just work on punt snaps. And I was like, well, 518 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: wait a second, that'd be like the backup quarterbacks saying like, 519 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: I only worked on handoffs this week. I didn't really 520 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: get any working in the past. Game like that. You 521 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: got points on the line there, and so they had 522 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: an opportunity with just an extra point to win that 523 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: thing in overtime after a Burrow to mar Chase touchdown 524 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: operation bad slow snap coming back make a Fitzpatrick comes 525 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: off the edge, blocks it, and then a terrible snap 526 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: on the field goal that would have wanted another gimme 527 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: in overtime. It's too high. Holder gives the full laces. 528 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: McPherson shanks it. Credit to McPherson for putting it all 529 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: on himself, but um, yeah, you're gonna have to go 530 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: out and sign along snapper now is I think Mitchell 531 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: Wilcox is gonna go back to Mitch Wilcox is gonna 532 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: go back to um you know, his day job, which 533 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, being a tight end kind of h back 534 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: type of situation there in Cincinnati. You want political analysis, 535 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna go to John King, okay, and you want 536 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: Holder Snapper one operation analysis, and so I'm here for man. Yeah, 537 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: that's where you to the all big ten holder Rhett 538 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: Lewis to get that type of a breakdown there. Nicely done, 539 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: nicely done. I'm gonna spare our audience and then not 540 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: continue that conversation, Bucky, what's the next one? And the 541 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: man Jarvis Landry re emerging as a big time playing 542 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: down in New Orleans. Really excited about the Saints offense 543 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: because you just wanted it with so many weapons. If 544 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: then you know they're gonna figure it out. Jarvis Landry 545 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: comes back, comes comes back home, and man over a 546 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: hundred yards seven catches makes a big catch down the 547 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: boundary to kind of set up the game winning uh 548 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: field goal. But then it's him working with Michael Thomas, 549 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: two veterman players who played at high levels who've caught 550 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: a ton of balls. But then they're winning the sacrifice 551 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: to help each other out. When I look at this 552 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: offense and I think about Jamis Winston being able to 553 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field but also having a 554 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: chain over like Jarvis Landry. Also having a guy in 555 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: space in Albercamara who can create an exploits mismatches. Everything 556 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: is there for the Saints to play at a high level. 557 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: And if they play at a high level, that means 558 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: that Jamis Winstons played at a high level, he would 559 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: get the attention that he deserves. Yeah, it was nice 560 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: to see. Michael Thomas was big too. I mean that 561 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: was big getting two touchdowns back there with Jervis Landry Rhett. Yeah, 562 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: and they didn't really they didn't really have the run 563 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: game that I kind of expected to see with Alvin 564 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: Kamara and mark Ingram. That was shut down for the 565 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: most part by the Atlanta Falcons, who, by the way, 566 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: he got some nice play from their rookie receiver Drake 567 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: London five catches and seventy plus yards to go along 568 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: there with Kyle Pitt's big receiving corps in Atlanta. I 569 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: think there's a lot to be kind of fired up 570 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: about there if you're Atlanta moving forward here, some pretty 571 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: good play against a good team in the Saints in 572 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: a division matchup, but you can't let that sixteen point 573 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: lead go in the second and the fourth quarter that's 574 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: just certainly can't do that. All right, let me move forward. 575 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: Final Elite eight takeaway here. I'm surprised that Baker Mayfield 576 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: didn't go out and win a revenge game. I feel 577 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: like that's what his whole persona is built on, is 578 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: like thriving on those opportunities to go out and prove 579 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: people wrong. And to his credit, he got the Panthers 580 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: in position to get the win with a go ahead 581 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: touchdown late. You saw him throw that ball right into 582 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: the Panther's I in the back of the on that 583 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: graphic on the back of the wall. Uh, that was 584 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: a money toss right there in celebration of that touchdown. 585 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: And then you know he just the defense goes in 586 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: and allows the Browns to move down in position for 587 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: a game winning field goal. Um, and we'll have more 588 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: on the game winning field goal kicker there in Cleveland 589 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: here just a little bit. But I just you know 590 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: that was that was a game just based on his persona. 591 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: I was like, a Baker Mayfield is gonna find a 592 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: way to win that game. I think that the good 593 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: news there is they showed some things on offense to 594 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: be excited about moving forward. Robby Anderson, explosive play, Christian 595 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: McCaffrey still healthy and available moving forward, which is obviously 596 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: a good thing. And when he's there, this offense always 597 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: has a chance. Yeah, well he's there, they always have 598 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: a chance. I think it was a really solid showing 599 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: for Baker after you got past the first part. A 600 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: little slow, but then he settled in and what we 601 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: saw was vinent Baker, Baker bringing them back. We saw 602 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: the momentum kind of flip in the direction of the Panthers. 603 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: We also saw them have the energy and the big 604 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: plays start to pop up. So I believe in a 605 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: month when Baker fully knows the offense and it's fully 606 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: able to not only call the plays, but recall him 607 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: and know him and be able to put his old 608 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: stamp all this team, I think you see this team 609 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: take a mid season jump as he gets comfortable that 610 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: quarterback and on the other side of that guy's that 611 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. I mean, the goals, let's just kind of 612 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: hover around five hundred until you get de Shaun Watson 613 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. Can you stay in 614 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: the race? Can you stay in the playoff hunt? Big 615 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: first one, good start with a big big win there 616 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: in week number one. All Right, we're gonna take quick 617 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: break and we come back. We're gonna look at some 618 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: standout rookies from Week one. Guys were fired up before 619 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: the draft. They delivered Week one. Are a lot of 620 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: rookies playing key roles for their teams in Week one. 621 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: We've tried to narrow this down just three big ones here, 622 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: three rookies that that really stood out and made things happen. Buck, 623 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: I know you've got a chance to see one up 624 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: close and personal. I guess you have seen done one overall. 625 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: Pig trade ball Walker do his deal against to Washington 626 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: Commanders and by far one of the more impressive debuts 627 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: that I've seen. Had a sack early in the game 628 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: where you just saw absolutely obliteray Sam Cosby and dumped 629 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback. But then he picked off a screen pass 630 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: from Carson Wentston. You've gotta see it to believe it. 631 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: The way he fell back in made the play with 632 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: his hands. He is everything that you talked about. Is 633 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick minuster production that he had 634 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: in college. Big fast, physical power, does great job of 635 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: creating disruption and a lot of scrimmage. The Jaguars are 636 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: very very happy that he is in place to be 637 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: a cornerstone player for them for the next decade. Yeah, 638 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: Early returns a very positive there in Jacksonville, and you know, 639 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: I don't know that we're expecting them to contend in 640 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: that division, but again, there's a lot of stuff to 641 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: be excited about here in Week one, even in a 642 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: loss for Jacksonvill. All right, and we moved back to 643 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: the Browns Panthers game. Okay, you want to go, let's 644 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: DJ once you get to good all right, I'm gonna uh, 645 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump in here. The guy that we talked 646 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: about how the best hands in the draft, John Dotson 647 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: um I went before the season started. I said, I 648 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: thought this guy might have a thousand yards season. I 649 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: know with Terry McLaurin there at the ball is gonna 650 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: go his way, but he's gonna find his way. He's 651 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: gonna find his role. Only three catches, but let's make 652 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: him count two of them for touchdowns. And the quickness. 653 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean that that's that's the reason why your quarterback 654 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz has faith in this young player. Buck. 655 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm excited about him. There's some good rookie receivers. All 656 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: of them played really well. But to me, John Dotson 657 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: getting an end zone twice again you saw up close 658 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: and personal. What was your take on him? And look, 659 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: he's everything that we thought he would be at Penn say, 660 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: coming out, good quickness, great balance and and by the 661 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: control outstanding hands, just goes and gets the ball wherever's at. 662 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: They phased him in because they were and they have 663 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: so much success early with Curtis Samuel and Antonio Gibson 664 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: kind of being deployed everywhere, but he was the next 665 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: big thing and they needed that play at the end 666 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: of testdown that you saw where Kes did tear drop 667 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: over the shoulder of Tyson Campbell just a great route 668 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: outing up keeps playing their room. Carson's that was a 669 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: perfect best he makes a nice catch. He's going to 670 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: be a factor in this offense as and continue to 671 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: evolve and give him of things. Yep, the guy that 672 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: can get vertical and as we've talked about at nauseum 673 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: here in the pre draft process, great hands. Saw that 674 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: on display in this game. All Right, I'm gonna go 675 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: to another rookie here on the special team side. DJ 676 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: just keeping with the theme today, the Browns rookie kicker 677 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: the pride of the L. S U Tigers, Cade York 678 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: four four four on field goal attempts in his debut 679 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL. He hit from twenty six, from thirty four, 680 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: had a thirty six charter in the fourth quarter, and 681 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 1: then the piece sty racist stance, a fifty eight yard 682 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: game winner with just seconds remaining to give the Browns 683 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: the final margin. Hats off to the Browns kicker, Cade York. 684 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: There's uh, there's now. This team has had some some 685 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: ups and downs in the field goal department in the 686 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Not anymore. Cade York is here 687 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: to stay. Guys, I would just be curious, still have 688 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: to give me your answers, But just imagine what the 689 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: L s U fans, thinking back to their loss against 690 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: Florida State on the miss p A t what they 691 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: were thinking when they saw their former kicker knocking this 692 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: this one and from fifty eight yards. I can imagine, uh, 693 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: probably not the best, probably not the best reaction there 694 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: from those Tiger fans. And this is what we're gonna 695 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: look at, our our favorite performance of week one. And guys, 696 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: I'll kick us off here and I'm gonna go to 697 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, a dominant win over the Green Bay Packers, 698 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: a dominant performance by their stud wide receiver, and Justin Jefferson, 699 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,479 Speaker 1: the separation we'll see with the next gen stat numbers 700 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: had to be extraordinary because he was giving Kirk Cousins 701 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: tremendously easy throws, winning at the line of scrimmage, winning 702 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: at the top of the route buck. He can make 703 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback's life pretty easy. When you got somebody like 704 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson doing what he did against the Packers. I 705 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: was standing performance from Justin Jefferson. I was really excited 706 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: to see Kevin O'Connell change up this office. This office 707 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: was attack, attack, attack. Part of that was because Justin 708 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: Jefferson was getting open early and often. Let's go to Philadelphia, Well, 709 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: it was in Detroit, but I'm talking about the feel 710 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles. How about Jalen Hurts and the job that 711 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst was able to do against the Detroit Lions. 712 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: Dude head over three d and thirty scrimmage rs, throwing, 713 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: in running, in making plays. You couldn't really stop him 714 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: as a runner. He found a way to get the 715 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: ball to a J. Brown really brought him into the 716 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: full early in the field. Eagles get this kind of 717 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: quarterback play regardless of whether the yards are through the 718 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: air on the ground. They're going to be a tough team. 719 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: Like where Jalen Hursts is. I like how he's trendy. Yeah, 720 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: speaking of toughness. Almost included this as one of my surprises. 721 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: I was almost surprised that the Lions did not pull 722 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: off the comeback in this game. They scored back to 723 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: back touchdowns to close it out, just could not get 724 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: a stop in the final three and a half minutes. 725 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: Credit to the Eagles for running some really good four 726 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: minute offense there, But it just felt like a game 727 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: with the grint and with the personality of Dan Campbell 728 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: that you know that we saw in Hard Knocks all 729 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: summer long. Like that's I was like, all right, the 730 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: Lions are gonna come back and win this thing. They 731 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: just felt a little bit short. All Right, I'm gonna 732 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: get to my standout performer again. Going back to that 733 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Bengals game, um as the Joe Burrow was under constant pressure. Obviously, 734 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: the defensive player of the Year from a year ago. 735 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: T J. Watt played a big role in that, but 736 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: how about Alex high Smith, who is really coming on 737 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: as an edge rusher. Uh fits perfectly in this Pittsburgh scheme. 738 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: He gets nine total pressures and gets home three different times. Again, Um, 739 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: making some good work of Jonah Williams, who I think 740 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: we all kind of felt like was the Bengals best 741 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: offensive lineman coming into this season. So that makes for 742 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: trouble for Cincinnati. But you gotta feel pretty good about 743 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh even if you gotta lose t J. Watt for 744 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: an extended period of time, that you've got a guy 745 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: that can get after the quarterback on a consistent basis, 746 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: and Alex high Smith getting it done there bringing a 747 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: little Conference USA into the Steelers pass rush. There you go, 748 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: Conference USA. Big performance by high Smith. You mentioned the 749 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: injury of t J. Watt. Thankfully it looks like not 750 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: not for the whole season, so get him back at 751 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: some point in time. I do want to touch quickly 752 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: before we go to break here. Buck, you're talking about 753 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and A J. Brown. I talked about Justin Jefferson. 754 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: You think about the Eagles, everything has been made of them, 755 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, not selecting Justin Jefferson and he's an unbelievable player, 756 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,959 Speaker 1: but had tip to Howie Roseman eventually being aggressive, being 757 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: bold to go out and get a J. Brown to 758 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: be that number one wide receiver and so far paying 759 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: early dividends. All right, we're gonna come back. We're gonna 760 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: talk about a rivalry game. Uh, coming up after this, 761 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: we gonna touch a little college football as well. Be 762 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: right back looking at a rivalry football game in the 763 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: NFL before we get to really the highlight of the weekend, 764 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: which was something that took place in college football, but 765 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: buck the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints. Big time 766 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: rivalry between those two organizations. Not a lot of love 767 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: lost a game that the Saints end up winning. But 768 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: I want to get to you on the Falcon side 769 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: of things because to me, the way they played offensively 770 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: hat tipped to Arthur Smith, and they have some exciting 771 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: young pieces over there. You had to Arthur Smith did 772 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 1: a really good job of getting this team to run 773 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: out to a lead, and they had control of the 774 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: game until they just kind of fell ap board in 775 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You saw Cardero Patterson have a big game, 776 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: had an opportunity to make the rush for over a 777 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: hundred yards. Then you look at Marcus Mariota, how he 778 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: took care of the football and kind of get it 779 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: out to the playmakers they needed the thing. If you're 780 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, you hay losing the weight that you lost, 781 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: but there are definitely some things that you can build upon. 782 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: Maybe I think things are looking up in Atlanta. Arthur 783 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: Smith is a really a good head coach. Yeah, gosh, 784 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: I agree with that as well. And you know I 785 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: was looking at this, um, you know, from the saint 786 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: side of things. Uh. Offensively, man Michael Thomas is back too. 787 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: Touchdown catches in this game. Crystal Lava caught all three 788 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: of his targets from Jamis Winston. So another rookie receiver there, um, 789 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, with some quality play in their NFL debut. 790 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 1: And then of course Jarvis Landry Buck you already mentioned 791 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards, a guy that Jamis can count on. 792 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: And then eventually you're gonna see Alvin Camara make some plays. 793 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: So like this, this this offense is humming already. Jamis 794 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: nice work there. Even without Sean Payton felt like this offense. 795 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: You know, it took a little time, took you know, 796 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: the first couple of quarters to get things going a 797 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: little bit and then they hit their stride down the stretch, 798 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: territic come back. But Atlanta fans, man, I mean, they 799 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: just you gotta be tired of seeing this fourth quarter 800 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: script play out. You know. Yeah, it's a little bit 801 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: of a theme there. But look, Drake London five for 802 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: seventy four as a rookie, he looked good. Good about 803 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: Thomas on one side. That's the that's that's the comp 804 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: for him and how you can use him, big slot, 805 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: you can use him outside lots of separation, big wingspan. Um, 806 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a really good one in a game 807 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: where you don't really get anything out of Kyle Pitts. 808 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: For them to be in a position to to win 809 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: that football game, I think that's a positive sign for 810 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. All right, I've waited, Okay, I wanted 811 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,479 Speaker 1: to lead with this off the top of the show, 812 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: but of course Rhett back Buck, He's like, oh, nobody 813 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: cares about app state. It's not you know, we can't 814 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: talk about that at the top of the show. So 815 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: here we go. I put it at the very end. Fuck, 816 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: we let you guys off the hook last week. You know, 817 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: congratulations you get sixty three to sixty one. Does that 818 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: score was? But most programs would have been so deflated 819 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: and so defeated after that heartbreaking loss. But not the 820 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: little gutty Mountaineers going on the road at Texas A 821 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: and M the number six team in the country, just 822 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: beat him up seventeen to fourteen. I think the number 823 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: was eighteen minutes. I think a m only had the 824 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: ball for eighteen minutes in this game. Uh. The first 825 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: phone call I received at the end of the game 826 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: was from Rich Eisen, who was happy to be let 827 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: off the hook that I will stop talking about the 828 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: Michigan game now we have another top ten win. But 829 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: it was a fun weekend for sure to watch my 830 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: alma mater. And now they're going to cap it off 831 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 1: with game Day uh in Boone North Carolina this coming. 832 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: Who thunk it? Wow? That's uh, that's quite a three 833 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: week stretch there for the Mountaineers. They're from Boone North Carolina, right, 834 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, um, I just wanted to give you guys 835 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: a quick little six degrees of separation here. Okay, So 836 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: the Hoosiers played an FCS opponent in Idaho over the weekend. 837 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: I was there in Bloomington for the calls wet rainy. 838 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: But think about this for a second. Okay, Idaho, who 839 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: in week one at Washington State nearly knocked off the 840 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: Cougars right, had a chance to go down and win 841 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: it at the very end, just fell short. Cougars then, 842 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: and we two go into Madison and beat Wisconsin. So 843 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: using the old six degrees of separation here, not only 844 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: did the Hoosiers move to two and oh the win 845 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: over Idaho, they basically beat Wisconsin too, So that's already 846 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: got two big ten wins. Now it's about me, like, 847 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: if we're gonna do those kinds of good logic and 848 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: theories and stuff like that, I can't just beat Notorios 849 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: ranged in the top two. Yeah, I mean like we 850 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: just kind of re showed app State how to play 851 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: winning football, and they took their blue frint and went 852 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: down the color station and beat up on you. So look, 853 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: it all comes back to what we were able to 854 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: do a couple of times ago. Yeah. I do want 855 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 1: to get one one football he taken there on that game, 856 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: by the way, because I want to connect that with 857 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: Marshall beating Notre Dame. We saw Nebraska lose to Georgia 858 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: Southern and Clay Helton, So three big wins for the 859 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 1: Sun Belt. But Buck, I think this is one of 860 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: the things you gotta keep an eye on going forward 861 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: in college football with you know, having you know, five 862 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: star recruits and three year players in the transfer portal 863 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 1: and all the change. It's gonna be interesting when you 864 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: run into a team and app State's kind of one 865 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: of those types of teams where you have fifth and 866 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: six year players. You have offensive line, a bunch of 867 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: these guys that played together for thirty plus games. Not 868 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: only that, you've got twenty two twenty three year old dudes, 869 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: like grown men going up against eighteen and nine year olds. Like, look, 870 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 1: if you take an eighteen year old All Star team, 871 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 1: but then they go and play against a twenty two 872 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 1: year old team, it's different, man. Those guys are different. 873 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: They're just they're just physically older and physically stronger. And 874 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: I thought they pushed them around a little bit. Yeah, 875 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: we've seen it happen in the n C Double A 876 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: Tournament March Madness. We've seen our teams that are older 877 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: teams that have kind of been together for a while, 878 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: the advanced I've seen matarios do it over and over 879 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: one day. You guys to see Indiana do it have 880 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: taken kind of figured it out. But um, that's kind 881 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: of how you get some older players. You wrote a 882 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: ball out, they kind of get it in this That's 883 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: how it happens. Yeah, Okay, keeping tabs, making a list, 884 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: checking it twice. By the way, can I can I 885 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 1: just say just one thing to keep in the notebook? 886 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: DJ and Bucky in the Scout Notebook flew into the 887 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: radar a little bit in the Big Ten. But Chase Brown, 888 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: the running back for the Illinois Fighting a Line I 889 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: is among the best in the conference and maybe in 890 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,760 Speaker 1: the country. Guys got almost a hundred and fifty yards 891 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: rushing in each of his first three games. Tremendous quickness, elusiveness, burst, 892 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: great vision, terrific on the cutbacks. Is the guy that 893 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to watch out for here in a 894 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: couple of months. Yeah, they'd beat down. I was worried Buck, 895 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: you're all you're about to take us down on Mike Woodson. Uh, 896 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: it was gonna get weird and we're gonna get way 897 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: off the rails right there are Nice job everybody.
