1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: And now move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: Brooks and then going going back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm good,

3
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm good. I uh, you know, had another another night

4
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: at the studio last night doing Game Day highlights in

5
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Game Day Final, which is kind of interesting because you

6
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: do kind of get to sit and take it all

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: in a little bit more then let's say when I'm

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: on Game Day Live and you know, kind of subject

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: My thoughts about the game were kind of subject to

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: the highlights that we end up showing, because a lot

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: of times to go back and watch the watch the

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: tape the next day and you're like, whoa this, we

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: didn't show this. So it's kind of good to kind

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: of get a broader sense of what's happening with all

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: the games. But uh, but yeah, yeah, it was pretty good.

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Sunday, no doubt, We're going to go through eight games

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: that we dialed in on and touch on a couple

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: of the other ones at the end. But I'll start

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: as I always do, with the game I was at,

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: which is a theme that we have each and every

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: week with the Chargers. I say it, it doesn't matter

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: if they're playing the best team in the league, the

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: worst team in the league. It doesn't matter if they're

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: up thirty down thirty. You know it's going to come

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: down to the last possession of the game. And here

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: we are once again. They run out to a twenty

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: four to seven lead, the Raiders starting Aidan O'Connell, who

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: will get to in a minute, making his first start.

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: It just looked like everything was kind of going their

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: way and then all of a sudden, now you've got

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: you know, you've you've got an offense it's stalled out.

32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: You've got a defense that is allowed a young quarterback

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: kind of find his rhythm and work with DeVante Adams

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: and get them back in the ballgame. You have once again,

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: which I know I'll let you get to on the

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: on the coaching decision to go for it deep in

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: your territory, something that Brandon Staley's done. A bunch of

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: all the complaints last week were about a you know,

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: the play call, not the decision. So they do what

40
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: everybody thought they should have done last week and that

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: doesn't work. We'll get to all of it, but my biggest,

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway from this game was it gets lost

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: the fact that the Raiders are playing a backup, but

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: this is a Chargers team. Mike Williams, you lose him

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: for the year. Corey Linsley is on IR. We don't

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: know if he's going to come back or not. You're

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: missing Joey Bosa, You're missing Derwin James, You're missing a

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Lowe Gilman, You're missing j T. Woods. They're missing their

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: top three safeties. They're missing their best edge rusher and

50
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa. They're missing their defensive captain in Derwin's I mean,

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot of guys out of the lineup.

52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: It looked like Rashaun Slater was kind of playing through

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: something he didn't like. He was one hundred percent healthy. Yeah,

54
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: they won a game, So at the end of the day,

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: style points don't really matter. You found a way you

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: won a game without a lot of guys, and the

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: buy comes for them right now. They're going to be

58
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: able to come back after the buy a Monday nighter

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: at home against Dallas, which should be a lot of fun.

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exciting, you know, to kind of understand how

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: shorthanded you were, and then to also see some of

62
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: your guys you know who were there step up, you know,

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: like Khalil Mack, you know as your vintage from like

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, five years ago, Khalil Mack type of

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: performance where he was just unblockable. Now again, as you mentioned,

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: it helped set you add a rookie quarterback who was

67
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: still trying to assess things and work through progressions and

68
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: maybe just a little a couple of beats slow on

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: getting that ball out of his hands.

70
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: At one point in time. At one point time, right,

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: I did say during the broadcast, does he know this

72
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: is not Marshall. You're not at Purdue, and this is

73
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: you're not playing like a non league game against Marshall here,

74
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Like he has just settled in there, Pat Pat Pat

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: Pat sack fumble? Uh, just the clock. It took him

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: a minute to get up to speed.

77
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: It did. Now, he made some good throws in this game,

78
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: like the throat of DeVante. Did you know on that

79
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: what was that that third down down inside the ten

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: to give him an opportunity there? You know, he made

81
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: some He made some plays in the game, for sure.

82
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: I mean the first drive was nice, right, but you know,

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: drop back and throw the ball thirty nine times, you

84
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: know in your first start, you know, as a rookie.

85
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: It's asking a lot of it, but you know, game

86
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: kind of dictated it. They were down, you know, quite

87
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: a bit. Okay, So I'll get to I'll get to

88
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: the point here on Khalil and Aidan O'Connell, and we'll

89
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: kind of we'll kind of get in there a little

90
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: bit because you know, I think we liked a lot

91
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: of what we saw in the preseason for Aiden O'Connell,

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: but you know, you got to take into consideration what

93
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: was he going up against, you know, a little bit

94
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: more of vanilla on both sides of the ball. Things

95
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: were a little bit simpler, and you know, you know,

96
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: he's got the accuracy and so that that's kind of

97
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: what that's kind of his deal. But he's not really athletic,

98
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: and so when you're holding the ball for too well,

99
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: you are a sitting duck back there. And obviously Khalil Mack,

100
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: who talked to Melanie Collins on the CBS broadcast afterwards,

101
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, Number four was holding it a little bit,

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: and so they really got after him there. I mean,

103
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: they were seeing that and he was clearly teeing off

104
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: and feasting on it. So that was just kind of

105
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: like a that was a confluence of events there, you know,

106
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: a young quarterback trying to find his way, and then

107
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: Khalil Mack playing, you know, like the All Pro that

108
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: he has been in his career.

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple other things on top of that. Number one,

110
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: I'd just as soon to see Aidan O'Connell the rest

111
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: of the year for the Raiders. What are we doing here?

112
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: This team is not good. This team has three players.

113
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: Like when you look at him and you're getting ready

114
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: for this game, I mean we'll start in the sad tight.

115
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: I think that Jermaine Illuminor is not an NFL starting

116
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: right tackle. And he got warning. I knew coming into

117
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the game. I said, Tuley Plow two and Khalil Mack

118
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: are gonna be fighting each other to see who gets

119
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: to rush over that side, and they got him for

120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: six sacks. But you look at the team, Max Crosby,

121
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: elite player, Davante Adams, obviously elite player. Josh Jacobs is

122
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: a really really good player. They have three guys. That's it.

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this roster is not good. It's in bad shape.

124
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: And at this point time, Jimmy Garoppolo is not your future,

125
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: so you might as well just see what you have

126
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: in the rookie here. Let Aidan O'Connell play. He got

127
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: better as the game went along. He was able to

128
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: adjust to the speed he sped his clock up. You

129
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: mentioned that deep out he hit the Devonte Adams. Yeah,

130
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: that was a really nice ball. He had a couple

131
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: of deep balls that were good throws. Obviously, the costly

132
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: pick there at the end, uh to a Santa Samwich

133
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: just sitting there in a trap. But again that I

134
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: put that more on the play caller than I do

135
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: on him. Your first and goal with the four run

136
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: the ball four times and tie the game? What are

137
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: you doing?

138
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: He's also not really a sprint right player to me? No, no,

139
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. No, you know, I get it.

140
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: I get it. I guess you know you don't want

141
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: to you want to change up too much of what

142
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: you do. But man, that's yeah, that's a tough one. Obviously,

143
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: didn't see Sante, I don't. I don't know how much

144
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: of this you're able to see that? Did you see

145
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: the tillery uh last on the sideline? I mean, what

146
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: do you what are you? What are we doing? Not?

147
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Come on, man, I mean we kind of we viscerrated

148
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: him on the broadcast. I mean, obviously it's a Chargers broadcast.

149
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: He's a former Charger player. Didn't end well there, It

150
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: was such an over the top He's going to get

151
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: a huge fine on that thing. And just and you

152
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: can see that, what tells you everything about that replay?

153
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: Watch it in slow motion and watch Max Crosby, who's

154
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: the only other Raider saw too. He just puts his

155
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: hands up like just like, what are you doing? Just

156
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: a dumb, dumb play. But anyways, the Chargers they get

157
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: a win without all those guys. I think they come

158
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: out bye. I think you probably have Eckler back, you

159
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: probably have Doing back, you probably have Bosa back. So

160
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: the reinforcement's coming for them. And I look in an

161
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: AFC where everything's kind of jumbled up. They're sitting at

162
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: two and two, kind of right in the middle of

163
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: this whole thing. The next game on the list is

164
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: one for you RHTT and that is the Rams and

165
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: the Colts, and maybe with one of the more entertaining

166
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: games of the whole weekend.

167
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: Well wait, hang on one second, just just to quickly

168
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: go back on the on the fourth and one.

169
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we didn't do that go ahead.

170
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: We didn't. We didn't get to that. So nobody gets

171
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: delta twelve. Nobody gets delta twelve more versus the two

172
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: than Brandon Staley, and he's going to go for he Look,

173
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: you got to appreciate the consistency, Right, He's going to

174
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: keep going for He's going to keep doing it. You

175
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: know at some point, you know, you felt like at

176
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: that point with the the bum finger and hand, maybe.

177
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: That wasn't the time for the QB sneak, Like you're

178
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: worried about ball security there. He wasn't good on the

179
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: QB sneak earlier in the game either, right, was not great.

180
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: So I wonder if the lack of success in those

181
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: situations then has to factor into the analytics side of it, Right,

182
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: do you have to plug that data in and say that, hey, look,

183
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: we just haven't been good in these situations. Maybe even

184
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: though the win percentage is up there, in terms of

185
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: the situation, maybe it's not the best situation for us.

186
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: I mean, like, does that factor in in your opinion?

187
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: So we talked to him after the game and he

188
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: was obviously he was in good mood. It was a

189
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: big win, and we brought this up towards the end

190
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: of the conversation, and it was almost he was almost

191
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: exasperated because I'm sure he just got grilled by the

192
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: media and before he came to us on the radio

193
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: side of things, and he just said, look, at some

194
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: point time, our guy's got to make a dank play.

195
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll keep answering these questions, but at some

196
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: point time, like we're giving you the opportunity here, we

197
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: make a play. And the interesting thing is, if you

198
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: look back on it, last year against Cleveland, didn't get it.

199
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: They didn't lose the game. This year, last week they

200
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: don't get it. They win the game. This week, they

201
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: don't get it, they win.

202
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: The game game.

203
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Everybody can point to the Raider elimination game where they

204
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: went for it. I big on their own eight team,

205
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: but that wasn't the deciding factor in the game. There

206
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: was a lot of game left that, you know, you

207
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: go into overtime, it didn't end up being the nail

208
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: in the coffin, so to speak. So in some ways,

209
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: their team, even though you're not getting it, the defenses,

210
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, has responded and stayed alive in these games

211
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: and they've been able to hold on. But He was

212
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: almost exasperated with the word like, guys, come on, come on,

213
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: I won't have to answer these questions. If you just

214
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: get me a stinking yard. Can we get a yard

215
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: and finish the game?

216
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think you can understand it from

217
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: that point of view, But you're also down your starting

218
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: center and your quarterback is a little bit banged up,

219
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: and you're wondering, you know, how much does all that

220
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: way in to the decision making fact process, And so

221
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: we'll see, my guess is not that much moving forward,

222
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: and we're still going to see those types of calls,

223
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: all right.

224
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I don't think that's going

225
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: to change. So yeah, that's it.

226
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rams and Colts. This was an otique game. This

227
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: is a game though that the Rams looked like they

228
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: were going to run away with early. We jump out

229
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: to a fourteen to nothing, leather up twenty three to

230
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: nothing in the second half and into the fourth quarter.

231
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a two score ball game. And Anthony

232
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: Richardson starts to catch fire a little bit. And so

233
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: I'll start with with Richardson on the comeback, and then

234
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: we'll get to my favorite part of the game, right

235
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: I thought he had really good poison in the pocket

236
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: in the in the fourth quarter in this game. That's

237
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: what I really went and watched. He had deep shot

238
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: play to let Pierce go up and make one. He

239
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: showed some off platform arm strength that you love from him.

240
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: He was on time and some tight window throws to

241
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: drew ogle Tree down when they really needed it. Well

242
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: placed out route dropped in on the third and four.

243
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: The fourth and four I thought was really good down

244
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: the stretch because he kept his eyes downfield as he

245
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: was drifting out of the pocket. I think a lot

246
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: of times you see a player with that kind of

247
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: ability look to run. He was looking to make the

248
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: play down the field. Thought that was really cool. Doesn't

249
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: get fully around enough, but man his like fully like

250
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: didn't get his hips fully square to the line, but

251
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: with an arm, with an arm like that, I mean,

252
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: it's just it's like cheating. And so he was able

253
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: to get another big completion at ogle Tree there. So

254
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: I thought Richardson did a great job figure out what

255
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: went wrong first couple of quarters, turning it around and

256
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: then giving his team and a chance to win the

257
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: game in overtime. Now, Hooka Nakua.

258
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: What by the way, who drafted him last week.

259
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, you're you're yeah, you joined the party.

260
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: What we'll call you this, You're like, you're like Schrager

261
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: on the Cooper Cup bandwagon. Just a little bit late, Okay, okay,

262
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: it started earlier over here, just getting shrigs. So hookah

263
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: ten h ten targets, nine catches. I mean, he's just

264
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: he's got such a great rhythm right now with Matthew Stafford,

265
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: like so much so that he ran a deep in

266
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: on his first catch of the game. I don't even

267
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: think he should have been the red, but Stafford just

268
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: wanted that throw and wanted to hit him, and it

269
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: actually ball gets he tips it up to himself, ends

270
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: up catching it. Almost all of his routes and all

271
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: of his targets are coming off deep ore in cuts, right,

272
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: they're digs, they're you know, an over route. Now he

273
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: did ever, actually his nicest his best route of the

274
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: day was it was a deep out. But he just

275
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 2: finds a way to get open in the middle of

276
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: the field, and Stafford trusts the heck out of him,

277
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: and so does Sean McVay. I think that's that says

278
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 2: something about rookie receiver man.

279
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Red, it's been it's been fun, just the way

280
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: Pokin Nikua haz just jumped in and just continues to improve,

281
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: continues to be, like you said, the focal point of

282
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: the offense, which is pretty insane. Maybe the co focal

283
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: point because in this game, Kien Williams had a really

284
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: nice game. You look at the stat line, twenty five

285
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: for a bucko, three on the ground, two touchdowns, caught

286
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: three balls for twenty four yards. So I always like

287
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: to go back and see what the pre draft stuff

288
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: was on these guys as they're starting to really pop

289
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: and come together. So you go back to the twenty

290
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: twenty two draft. He was a little over five to nine,

291
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety four pounds. He ran four sixty five,

292
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: so he did not run well. I think that was

293
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a surpriser and knocked him down

294
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: the board a little bit. But when I look at

295
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: my notes, patient stop start quicks, he's a ninety one

296
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: yard touchdown versus North Carolina. If you question the speed

297
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: he can sink in squad and pass pro, he's excellent

298
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: in the pass game slots. They'll use him in the

299
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: slot angle routes. Exceptional my comp form. I said that

300
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: when I watched him, I thought he reminded me a

301
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: little bit of Aaron Jones. And you see a game

302
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: like this and to me, I go, okay, yeah, I did,

303
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: I see a little bit of that. So it's interesting

304
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: when you go back and look at the pre draft

305
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: stuff and then you know it's just getting opportunities and

306
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: now you're seeing him really run with that literally.

307
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, and it makes it makes you feel,

308
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: you know, like the Rams dow what they were doing

309
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: and sending cam Akers on their way, and they knew

310
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: they had a young player they wanted to get more reps.

311
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: And he's done a nice job in the RB one role.

312
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: By the way, I'll go back and and you look

313
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: at the last play of the game, which was Hookah's

314
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: first career touchdown ends up being the walk off winner. Man,

315
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: it's a tough deal, right. They go there lined up

316
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: in a bunch. Look, two guys end up going with

317
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: ben'skronic on the just flat on the out route and

318
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: you can see Kenny Moore he goes like this to

319
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: kind of switch it as the play is developing. The

320
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: other guy didn't get the signal and so it is

321
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: too late at that point and pooka wide open and

322
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: then it is a nice job to get into the

323
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: end zone. But again, he is a heck of a player.

324
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of heck of a player, I know the

325
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: numbers don't blow you away in terms of the efficiency.

326
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: That's not the type of quarterback Anthony Richison needs to be.

327
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be a seventy percent passer to

328
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: put their team position to win games. He's hit some

329
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: explosives which they were able to do, finished drives which

330
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: he was able to do, and then and sprinkle in

331
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: the run which he's done. So that's the formula. That's

332
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: the type of player you have. Hopefully grows into being

333
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: a more efficient guy. But he didn't need to be

334
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: for you to win games. And it's gonna be fun.

335
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: I said in the beginning of the year when I

336
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: went out there, I said, I don't know how many

337
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: games this team's gonna win. It's gonna be a good watch.

338
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun to watch

339
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: Anthony and Richardson continue to grow and develop. He's he's

340
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: somebody they can build around, and I don't think they

341
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: need to keep looking, I think they found their guy.

342
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would agree. I mean, like I said,

343
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: I thought he did a really nice job in the

344
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: fourth quarter when they're down their backs against the wall,

345
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: and he just finds a way a bunch of different times.

346
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: So that was that was definitely impressive.

347
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: All let's get to the next one here the Eagles,

348
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: and speaking overtimes, another overtime game. They beat the Commanders

349
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: third thirty four to thirty one. I want to start

350
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: on the Commander's side of things, and then we'll get

351
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: over to the Eagles here in a second. But I

352
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: had fun going back and watching Sam Howell in this ballgame.

353
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: Things that stood out to me the poise, the suddenness

354
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: to be able to escape when he had to against

355
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. We'll

356
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: get to their pass rush here in a minute. Full

357
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: field reads, working all the way across the field, getting

358
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: through progressions. I thought the instincts were excellent, throwing guys open.

359
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: No greater example than the touchdown to send the games

360
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: into overtime. Yeah yeah, it was a big time, big

361
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: time throwers. Threw them away from a defender. You say, okay,

362
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: was kind of hard to tell is this kind of

363
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: a kind of elongated whip route or is it a

364
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: back shoulder throw. All I know is he sees defender

365
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: on one side and threw away from him and just

366
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: to allow your guy to have a chance. But he

367
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: made several throws like that, throwing guys away from traffic,

368
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: away from trouble, climbing up in the pocket, extending plays,

369
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: taking off when he needed to. I was impressed. I

370
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: was really impressed with what I've seen from Sam Howell,

371
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: especially in this ball game. And then on the other

372
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: side of things, you know that Eagles defense. Yeah, look,

373
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: they gave up some plays. Washington gut you get thirty points,

374
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, thirty one points. You know, it's not something

375
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be happy with. But there's some wrinkle with

376
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles that they're adding to their mix. Their pass

377
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: rush shows so much attention with their front four there,

378
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: so they they started bringing up the linebackers. A couple

379
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: of times they double mugged, so they get on the

380
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: center with two linebackers. Then they also had kind of

381
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: a delayed rush with a linebacker because everybody's get everything's

382
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: getting fanned out. It's creating some seams and their edge

383
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: rushers are just coming off the ball so hard and

384
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: it's going to force it's going to force a really

385
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: really dramatic climb in the pocket with these guys because

386
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: you're getting an edge rush that's collapsing. Jalen Carter and

387
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox in there are getting upfield. So it's a

388
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: real quick movement and what you're seeing is they're saying, Okay,

389
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: it's like a trap. They're almost setting a trap for

390
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: a mouse, and the linebackers just closing up there and finishing.

391
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: That's when they got all. I think they had three

392
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: linebacker sacks in this game.

393
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, defenses roll and when they needed to be. And

394
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: so the other thing that really impressed me, you know,

395
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: is watching AJ Brown go to work on a young

396
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: corner right in Emmanuel Forbes on those two touchdowns. Look,

397
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: Manuel Forbes is gonna have a bright future in this league.

398
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: I think we all kind of we've seen flashes of

399
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: that already this season. And obviously we know when he

400
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 2: gets his hands on the football, you know he can.

401
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: That's an egg bowl that is old miss Mississippi State

402
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: right there, and AJ Brown showed him all right, still

403
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: some work to do here, kid, because he got him

404
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: a couple of times, and those were two huge plays

405
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 2: in the game. You know, those touchdowns that Jalen hurts again.

406
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: He is so good. He has gotten so much better

407
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: on that deep ball accuracy too. As he's he's continued

408
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: to go on. So I thought that was going to

409
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: look when the Eagles needed it, they go to a

410
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: guy like aj Brown. Not everybody can do that in

411
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: the league.

412
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I'll just add this about the Eagles.

413
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: This is where I'm curious to see this collision course

414
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: they're on with the forty nine ers. We said it

415
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: before the season, it feels that way now as well.

416
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're going to get the style

417
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: points at the four Anders are going to get on

418
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: their way to that meeting. But this is a team

419
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: that's just checking off win after win after win after win.

420
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: It's not always pretty, it's close. They understand how to

421
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: win close games. But when we compare those two rosters

422
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: and those two teams, I think that Philly is a

423
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: little deeper than San Francisco. I think if they show

424
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: up in all twenty two starters for both teams are healthy,

425
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: and that's what we see in the postseason. Okay, maybe

426
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: you can make a case. Maybe I lean a little

427
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: towards San Francisco. It's close. It's a toss up, But

428
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: I think when you see the attrition that's going to

429
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: take place over the year, I think the Eagles are

430
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: better positioned to kind of manage their way through that

431
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: just because of the sheer depth they have.

432
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was actually just a little bit

433
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: surprised though, at kind of how well, at least, you know,

434
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: for the most part, the Washington offensive line held up.

435
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't think that they were completely blown

436
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: out of the water in this game, and that this

437
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: is not the league's best offensive line. But you know,

438
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: as we mentioned, you got the second level got active.

439
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: Think they've still got five sacks, and they got five sacks.

440
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, but I mean they hung in there and

441
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: they look I mean, the quarterback gives him a chit,

442
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback gives him a chance to That was me,

443
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: to me, the biggest takeaway from this game. If you're

444
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, you know, kind of play this out,

445
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: what's the biggest long term impact of watching this game

446
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: on tape? It was like, holy crap, Sam Howe is

447
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: pretty good man. This is not This is not like, hey,

448
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: that's a good game, like this is a good player,

449
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: this is a quality starting NFL quarterback. They can build

450
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: around him.

451
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: Well, and just look at the week to week comparison

452
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: here of what did Sam Howl has faced right that.

453
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: I think we're seeing that Bill's defense pretty really good,

454
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: really right. You know, he had a clunk, Sam out

455
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 2: a clunker against some four picks, but the Bill's defense

456
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: was messing with two a toungo I low all day

457
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: long yesterday. Yeah, and and so that was you know,

458
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 2: I know we're going to get to that game coming

459
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: up here in just a minute, but that was pretty

460
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: fun to Watchean McDermott's got that crew playing really well.

461
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: We'll get to that here in just a little bit.

462
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: All right, this next one before we go to the break,

463
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess let's not take too long on

464
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: this game, because one of those one that's doesn't I

465
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: don't think it deserves it. But I will say this,

466
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 1: as we talk about this Bronco Bears game, everybody's saying it,

467
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: how could you not? But man, if you're a Bears fan,

468
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: can you just dream on this moment right now? Having

469
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: potentially the first and second pick in the draft. Holy crud.

470
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what it's it's kind of weird

471
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: when you know, justin fields, you know, arguably has his

472
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: best day right throwing the football, and you're going to

473
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 2: be in position to take, you know, the best quarterback

474
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: that maybe we've seen come out of the draft in

475
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: a while. So I went into the fourth quarter to

476
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 2: really kind of under I was trying to understand what

477
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: the Bears were doing defensively, is did they change things

478
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: up coverage wise, ran a bunch of cover two? Did

479
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: they you know, did they have an issue dealing with

480
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: the run? Like it wasn't there was anything glaring. Bears

481
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: still got some pressure on Russell Wilson in that fourth

482
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: quarter when they were making that comeback, and I think

483
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: I just kind of came to the conclusion. I was like,

484
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: I think Russell Wilson just had his best quarter as

485
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: the Denver Bronco. I mean, he looked like Russ of Old,

486
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: kind of manipulating the pote, keeping his eyes downfield. I

487
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 2: mean the throw he had to Courtland Sutton on the

488
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: third and nine in the fourth quarter to make it

489
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: a twenty eight to twenty one ball game. It was

490
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: like a fifteen yard touchdown pass in the red zone.

491
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 2: I mean he threaded a needle laterally in the window

492
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: and then also layering it between two levels of the defense.

493
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean it was as good a throw as you'll

494
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: see on Sunday. And and look, he was a big

495
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: reason they were able to, you know, make that comeback. Obviously.

496
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: Another reason is, you know, Maddieberflus decided not to take,

497
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: you know, a field goal which would have been about

498
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: a thirty seven yarder, instead went for it when they

499
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 2: were tied tied up at whatever it was, twenty eight

500
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: there on a fourth and one, and you know, obviously

501
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: they lose by field goal.

502
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: So not ideal, is that what you're getting on here.

503
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get one last thing, one last thing here,

504
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: because you know you mentioned it. We do like to see,

505
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 2: you know, kind of follow some young guys that maybe

506
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: aren't always in the spotlight. Nick Benito, I think is

507
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: starting to come on a little bit for the Denver Broncos.

508
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean he's got his almost as many pressures this

509
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: year as he did all of last year, and five

510
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: pressures in this game, two and a half sacks in

511
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: this game, and that strip sack obviously was really the

512
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: turning point for the Broncos momentum wise, and as it

513
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: relates to the ultimate result.

514
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that, HTT because while you're doing that,

515
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: I'm looking up the get off numbers. So you go

516
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: to next gen stats and have all the access to

517
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: get in there at all the goodies. And if you

518
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: just look at linebackers d liman a minimum of twenty

519
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: pass rush snaps. It's interesting because you see, you watch

520
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: a guy with your naked eye and you're like, god,

521
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: Nick Benito looks like he can really get off the rock.

522
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: So let's pull up the numbers. As I'm pulling us up,

523
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: I did not know where he was on this, but

524
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be a surprise. Number one in the league

525
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: is Miles Garrett six, so got it. So that tells

526
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: you first and foremost this there's something to this second,

527
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: which is a surprise to some unless you know that

528
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: this guy's up there every year because he's got unbelievable anticipation.

529
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: Derek Barnett is at six point sixty six with the

530
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: hitcherss his teammate Josh Sweat again, they preach get off

531
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: point six y nine. Then you get Trey Hendrickson, you know,

532
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: elite rusher point seven to one, Nick Bosa Enough said

533
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: point seven to one, Leonard Floyd at point seven to two,

534
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: and who's tied with Leonard Floyd, Nick Benito at point

535
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: seven two. So's he's up there with all of those

536
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: top guys. It's it's it's why I love that stat

537
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: so much. It to me, it's something that truly translates.

538
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: It's one of the things with technology, we've been able

539
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: to get some new numbers and some new data, and

540
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: I think the get off thing is legit. I think

541
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: it's real. And when you when you're in the same

542
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: neighborhood is the Miles Garretts and the Nick Bosas and

543
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: the Hendrickson's of the world, that's where you want to be.

544
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: And think about what that does to a tackle. Right

545
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: when you know you're facing the guy with that elite

546
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: get off, you're already like building yourself an advantage before

547
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: the snap because you know that you know that tackle

548
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: is getting is it's in his head, right, he's got

549
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: to get it. Said yep, so that is that's a

550
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: good So I got another stat discovery that we'll get

551
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: to when we get to the Steelers Texans game, by

552
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: the way, that I think you'll appreciate.

553
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: All right, well, we're gonna get to that. We're going

554
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 1: to also get to the Bills Dolphins a couple more

555
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: games here. We'll get to those as well as Chiefs Jets,

556
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: Texan Steelers. We've got a lot of ground to cover here.

557
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: We'll do that right after this. All right, right, Well,

558
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: this next one I think you could say was the

559
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: biggest statement made from the weekend and the heavyweight matchup,

560
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: the Marquee matchup by the weekend, which was the Bills

561
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: hammering the Dolphins forty eight to twenty. A lot of

562
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: different places you can go on this. You referenced earlier

563
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: about the defense of the Bills, and I'll leave you

564
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: that real estate, because there's spend a lot of time

565
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: looking at the offense on this one. Seven explosive passes

566
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: and a variety of ways. Josh Allen because he's such

567
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: a unique player with his athleticism and arm strength, he

568
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: does some things similar to what Mahomes does. In other words,

569
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: like if you see pressure looks a lot of times

570
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, especially when with a weak arm like myself,

571
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: it is. I see pressure coming back. Football's gone. I've

572
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: got to get it out. The pressure's coming. These freakazoids

573
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: just get depth and say that's fine. Why would I

574
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: don't want to try and hit a slant here. I'm

575
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: gonna retreat like a son of a gun and buy

576
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: some time vertically that way, and then I'm gonna then

577
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: you're vulnerable in the back end. I'm gonna make you

578
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: pay with a big shot. And that's one of the

579
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: things that Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, these guys can do.

580
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: It's such an advantage man to have a huge arm

581
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: like that to be able to pull that off. They

582
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: did a nice job on schedule. Throws bang eight bang

583
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: right on them. Yeah, rhythm through. Then you see Josh

584
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: scramble around, buy some time, hit the back on kind

585
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: of just a scrambled drill play, and James Cook ends

586
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: up getting you a big explosive back shoulder balls. Excellent.

587
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Then you have what I like to call those scheme

588
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: winners where you see so much of this. Now you're

589
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of teams run that orbit motion right. Yeah,

590
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: so they're throwing that glorified bubble and then they're having

591
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: a lead blocker with the wide out. So now I've

592
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: seen this in other games I've watched through the early

593
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: portion of the season. You're seeing that orbit motion. Now

594
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: you're getting the pump, you're getting the stock block and go,

595
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: and you're just putting that corner in such a bind.

596
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: He's sitting there going, I've got to get off this

597
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: block and make this tackle on this bubble that's coming

598
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: my way, and all of a sudden, wait, wha, wait

599
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: a second, you just slipped me, and now he's up

600
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: the sideline and you're getting a big play. So you have,

601
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, the ability to adjust versus pressure on time,

602
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: big time throws vanesse, you know, throws in terms of

603
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: back shoulder accuracy, like that's that's a skilled throw. And

604
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: then you get this stuff. You know, GA design winners.

605
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: It's like they can do infinite amount of things offensively.

606
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: When Josh Allen's playing like.

607
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: This, that missile to Gabe Davis on the first that

608
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: is so much fun to watch that and to watch

609
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 2: that trajectory and I thing's on a flip and rope

610
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: right and just right right in there, right where it

611
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: had to be. I love getting stuff on Diggs going

612
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: in this game, you know, and then watching him kind

613
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: of build his kind, you feed him and just he

614
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: he you know, he continues to get better right as

615
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: the game goes on and more difficult to deal with.

616
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: You saw that on the run after the catch on

617
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: I think it was the second touchdown. I mean it

618
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: was just there was so much to light there. Now

619
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: here's the other thing I think we we maybe forgot

620
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: and need to come back to appreciating how good of

621
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: a defensive coach of Sean McDermott's yeah, right, I mean

622
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 2: like that's that that's his forte right, and that's that's

623
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 2: essentially what gets him, you know, the Buffalo Bill's head

624
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 2: coaching job, and the last couple of years, you know,

625
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: he's had Leslie Fraser calling the plays and that's still

626
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: been a good defense. Leslie did a good job there.

627
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: But man, I mean McDermott is rolling right now as

628
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 2: a play caller. I mean he had to a tongue

629
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: of Biloa guessing all over the place in this game.

630
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: And I think their best some of their their best

631
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: plays was trying to find that get the ball to

632
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: to Devon ah Chan and uh and obviously he had

633
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: a one hundred per yard day and an explosive day on

634
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: the ground. But man, they they did a pretty good

635
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: job keeping those deep explosive plays in the past game

636
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: under wraps. And that's easier said than nothing.

637
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: So I went back and watched the defense this morning.

638
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: I spun through it, and I just wanted to see, Okay,

639
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch I'm gonna watch all the explosives that

640
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were still able to generate. And then I

641
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: want to watch how they got off the defensively, and

642
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, can I find something? Is there

643
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: something in here that correlates between their allowing big plays

644
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: and they're they're limiting big plays? And I honestly read it.

645
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty interesting. It was pretty telling

646
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: to me. It was It was quite simply linebacker depth

647
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: like that was it like when they're linebackers off all

648
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: that play action stuff you step for, the Dolphins are

649
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: just trying to manipulate you to just just either hold

650
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: or just give me a little just give me one

651
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: or two steps, lean in pause, just to create that gap,

652
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: that distance between the linebackers and the safeties. And that's

653
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: where they operate. That's where Tua lives in that area. Yeah,

654
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: but when they were disciplined and just basically and look,

655
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: you can give up, who cares. Let If Han wants

656
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: to run for one hundred yards, that's fine. We're not

657
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: playing downhill. We are getting out of there. Our linebackers

658
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: are athletic. We're gonna get out and we're gonna We're

659
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna rally and tackle. You're gonna have to check the

660
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: ball down. You're gonna have to throw it underneath our

661
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: second level. We're not gonna let you work between our

662
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 1: second and third level. And the reason you do that

663
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: is you get your linebackers the crap out of there.

664
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: When they got depth, there was nowhere to go with

665
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: the ball, and Toua was reluctant to try and really

666
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: check the ball all the way down because people talk

667
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: about the deep ball, talk about check. Tua lives in

668
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: the middle. He is the intermediate king. That is where

669
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: he is most comfortable. And they just kill teams with

670
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: those throws.

671
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: They turn those went into those sixty yard touchdowns. Right,

672
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: you catch it at twenty.

673
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: And then run, Yeah, you catch it on the dead run.

674
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: But to me, linebacker depth, that the discipline of that too,

675
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: because your whole life and football you've been taught. You

676
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: see the ball in the belly of the back, you

677
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: are taking a step down, You've got gaps, you've got responsibilities.

678
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: Screw that, man, get the heck out of there.

679
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: And then I think again, he comes back to something

680
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: I think we mentioned first or second week of the season,

681
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: but the roster decision from Brandon Bean to let to

682
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: let Tremaine Edmunds go get the big money deal elsewhere,

683
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: feel really good about Matt Milano, and then know you

684
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: drafted Terrell Bernard who can really run. And man, that

685
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: is a really good off the ball linebacker duo right

686
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: there with Bernard and Matt Milano. But yeah, yeah, anything

687
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: else on that game, I think, uh, I think that

688
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: pretty much covers it. But I think for the most part,

689
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: we're seeing we're seeing good. Josh Allen like, yeah, and

690
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: obviously the one game you know wasn't great a couple

691
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, but man, twenty one to twenty five,

692
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: even more touchdowns and incompletions in this game. So that's

693
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: winning football.

694
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: By the way, I tell you, I'm I pick up

695
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: the tuxedo today. Got it? Yeah, So we got all raded,

696
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: We got it all dialed then feel good about it.

697
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever told you ended up

698
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: going bow tie. It was it was longtime boats ie.

699
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: I went with the boat tie more formal. My wife's

700
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna be wearing more of a formal dress at the wedding,

701
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: so I said, Okay, the bow ties. It's more matching there.

702
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate that classic look. Man, you're a classic. Got

703
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: the the tuxedo shirt, which I never really was aware of.

704
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: This one has kind of like the circle. It's kind

705
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: of like the you know, it's kind of like the

706
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: little circle kind of look at you. Yes, yeah, like you. Yeah,

707
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: it's definitely a you you look. I felt like kind

708
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: of I kind of felt like I belonged playing it

709
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: in Triman on the deck of the Titanic. I'm not

710
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna lie U with that thing. Well, but we'll see.

711
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's not a metaphor for the getting out to

712
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: put that out there. Yeah, he's a nice, nice guy,

713
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: a good, good future, all right. That was the side

714
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: note there. Excited to get the tucks though, get that today? Yeah,

715
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: excited cowboys Cowboys Patriots thirty eight to three. Yeah, just

716
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how let's just say it's a beat down, man.

717
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: It was. It was. And again the Dallas Cowboys defense

718
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: back back to doing what they do really well, turn

719
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: the football over. This this was not an overly like

720
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: prolific day from the Dallas offense, which a lot of

721
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: times you think we see thirty eight points. So you

722
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: get two defensive touchdowns, you're pretty good. Shape fumble return

723
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: scoop and scored by Layton vander ash and then a

724
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: Dean Bland fifty four yard pick six. He had two

725
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: picks some day. So let's get into this here. A

726
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: little bit on mac Jones. He had a pretty good

727
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: first quarter. Okay, he had a pretty good first quarter,

728
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: made some big throws in that in that and then

729
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: things really started to kind of spiral and slip a

730
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: bit after the strip skack scoop and score by Layton

731
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: Vanderesch there so he I mean, here's a two play

732
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: sequence where he starts to get kind off the rails

733
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: a little bit. He's got a second and sixteen. He's

734
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: rolling all the way out to his right. He stops

735
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: and then looks all the way back to the left. Okay,

736
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: so he's at the top of the numbers on the

737
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: right side. He then throws all the way back three

738
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: yards from the sideline on the left side, about three

739
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: yards beyond the line of scrimmage as well, So it's

740
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: not like a deep throw. I mean it is almost

741
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: completely lateral, sidelined to side, like really dangerous throw. Right. Well,

742
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: it ends up working. So then what happens a few

743
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: plays later on the same drive rolls all the way

744
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: out this time it is just to the right hash

745
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: after dealing with some pressure, and again goes all the

746
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: way back to the left side of the field. This

747
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: time Deron blands like ah not again picks that thing off,

748
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: takes it to the house fifty four yards back. So

749
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: you know, he sees some slippage and then things, you know,

750
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: things start to start to kind of pile on. Little

751
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: bit flustered in the pocket I think, and you mentioned

752
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen and Mahomes. You see guys with those

753
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: big arms, man, they will they'll retreat and they'll reset

754
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: right and then fire a strike. Whereas you know, Mac

755
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: felt like maybe a couple of times could have stepped

756
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: up in the pocket set his feet made a nice throw,

757
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: whereas he's still retreating and then trying to throw it

758
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: off the back foot and that's trouble. And then he

759
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: gets picked off again by Deron Bland on just an

760
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: errant backfoot kind of throw. It's actually he's inside on

761
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: an out route on the second Bland interception. Makes a

762
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: bad choice there. But I mean Doron Bland, by the way,

763
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: has more interceptions than anybody in the league since the

764
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: started last year. Fifth round pick out of Frozeno State.

765
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: Can I pull up my nugs on him because he

766
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: was Well, I'll give you some homework while you're doing

767
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: it here, let me know what what pick he was.

768
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: He was my one hundred and twenty first player. Was

769
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: he undrafted No. Round five, pick one sixty seven. Okay,

770
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: so he was one hundred and twenty first player. This

771
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: is non combine so that was, you know, one of

772
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: the deals there. He was a little over six foot,

773
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 1: one hundred ninety seven pounds, ran for four to six.

774
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: I've had three picks, I said in off coverage. This

775
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: dude can really find and play the ball. He has

776
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: a big time, big time pick six with showing FBI

777
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: and range, so football intelligence and range versus boyd Boise State.

778
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: He can carry crossers, he's got deep speed. He was

779
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: like one of my true sleepers. You know, put him

780
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: as one hundred and twenty first guy without him, you know,

781
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: going to the combine.

782
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good you know, that's a pretty good

783
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: grade right there. You know, forg guy who doesn't end

784
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: up at the combine ends up there, which is kind

785
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: of weird.

786
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: Too, when you like it's a it's definitely you know,

787
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: you're not going to be bat one thousand, you know,

788
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: when you're got Jeff Foster's job and you've got to

789
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: collect these guys and limited the number of guys you

790
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: get the combin But oh sure, man, this guy's height, weight,

791
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: speed and production. Like that's a lot to sell there.

792
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's like, you know, you get Treyvon Diggs

793
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 2: Picks a couple of years ago, and now you got

794
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 2: you know, he inserted dron Bland, who again is kind

795
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: of an interception magnet. So I thought, I thought that

796
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: was pretty cool. I I don't know what to do

797
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 2: if you're the Patriots, you know, I think Mac Jones

798
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: is still your best option, right and Bill Belichick's been

799
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: answering those questions, But what's your best option to find

800
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: productivity as an offense? I think it's it's it feels

801
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: like it's more so on the ground that it is

802
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: through the air, you know, just with the talent. And

803
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: I know they've had some issues along the offensive line too,

804
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 2: but I think more Ramandre Stevenson the better moving forward

805
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: for the Patriots. Or is you know Zeke Elliott too?

806
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. I went through and was just trying

807
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: to pull up some mac Jones numbers. You know, he's

808
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: tied with with Ritter with ten turnover worthy plays in

809
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: the league, And to me, I think that obviously he's

810
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: got to own some of that criticism. I didn't ever

811
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: think the ceiling with Mac was incredibly incredibly high, but

812
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: I wonder. I wonder if he just goes to bed

813
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: at night and thinks, man, I was this close to

814
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: being brock perty. I was this close with my skill set,

815
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: the way I can play with Deebo, Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk,

816
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan call and plays, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey. He's

817
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: got to just sit there and watch those forty nine

818
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: Ers games and be like, are you kidding me? They

819
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: almost put me in that Lamborghini and I gotta sit

820
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: here and I got to drive this old beat up

821
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: car here in New England where we've got nobody that

822
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: can win, I got nobody that can separate. I mean,

823
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to the same thing we said

824
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: before the season started, and it's kind of like it's like,

825
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, people, that's kind of hokey analogy, but it's true.

826
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: Like what the heck what jersey are you selling in

827
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: that team shop? Like what the heck are you excited about?

828
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: If you're a Patriots fan? Like I get you know

829
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, I'm coming off of a year. I'm

830
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: coming off of a baseball season where I'm been a

831
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: pottery fan. They didn't make the playoffs, and I you know,

832
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: but I'm like, did I get to watch Wan Soto

833
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: and Manny Machado and Frando? Like at least there's something

834
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: as a fan you can get excited about and go watch.

835
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Like who are you excited about to go watch a

836
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: Patriot game? You're gonna go pay all that money? Who

837
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: you want to see?

838
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: Juju Smith Schuster five targets, one catch. Hunter Henry was

839
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: their most efficient receiver on the day. I think I

840
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 2: think Pop's Douglas to Mario. Doug Douglas is like the

841
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 2: guy that's got the most juice on that team. Yeah,

842
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: and you know he had a he had a long

843
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: forty two yard catch early on, I think on their

844
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 2: first drive. But uh, you know Mac throws the two picks.

845
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna go, I know, and I know they beat

846
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: the Jets, but you're gonna say you can go watch

847
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, Tyreek Hill and Miami. You can go watch

848
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs and Buffalo, or you can come watch Pop

849
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: Douglas in know England.

850
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, yeah, look, I'm not saying it's

851
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: a great situation, but I'm just trying to give you

852
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 2: the best of the best of the bunch here. Whereas

853
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 2: like every single play I mean Stevens and I'm saying,

854
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: run the ball more. I mean, Remandre averages two yards

855
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 2: of carrying this game, Zeke two point seven. That's nothing.

856
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: Nothing to hang your hat on either, I guess no.

857
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: Anyway, so good wins for the Cowboys. They bounce back,

858
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: So good on them. But I just again, I don't

859
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: know where the Patriots. The Patriots to me feel like

860
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: the a little bit like the Raiders we talked about earlier.

861
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, this team's not good enough to win anything.

862
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: So who are the building blocks that you can you know,

863
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: having place to go forward with and and you got

864
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: to have some major, major, major, major upgrades to the

865
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: talent or you got no shot.

866
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right. I mean it's kind of

867
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 2: been building towards this too, like for or falling towards

868
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: this fall. It's been like a simmer right towards this

869
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: thing for a couple of seasons. All right, what are

870
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: we go on next?

871
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: They got the Sunday Night or Chiefs and Jets. Uh,

872
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: it was interesting, you know, going back and watching that

873
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: this morning. Let's start on the Jets offensive side of

874
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: the ball, because I think that got the most attention.

875
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: Got Rodney Harrison got a lot of attention for it

876
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: was a little a little harsh, a little much on

877
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: that one, a little over the top. But I wanted

878
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: to start with Zach Wilson. Is his best game, uh

879
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: that he's probably played as a pro against maybe you know,

880
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: one of the top three defenses in the NFL. At

881
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: Chiefs are really really good. So that was encouraging to see.

882
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: Now when I went back and watch it, I still

883
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: think he's late. I still think he missed some things

884
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: where you've got guys, you know, you've got like a

885
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: you've got a mesh route where everything is set up

886
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: to pick and get the back out and the flat

887
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: and the pick works, and you've got him in the

888
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: flat to walk in and he doesn't see it. So

889
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: I still think there's times where he's not seeing everything. Great,

890
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: but I thought he played more under control. I thought

891
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: they took the training wheels off, so to speak, let him,

892
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, just be a little bit more of attack mode.

893
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: I think you can get into dangerous territory when you're

894
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: just don't screw up, don't script, don't scrip, don't scrip,

895
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: don't screw up like you can't play the position like that.

896
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: You've got to have a little bit of a stinger.

897
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: And I thought you saw that kind of grow with

898
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: him as the game went along. Yeah, you know, the fumble.

899
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'd loved to have that one back. But

900
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 1: on the whole, I thought this was this was something

901
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: he can he can learn from and grow from. And

902
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I'm reading much into this,

903
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: but just just Aaron Rodgers, even just being around, I

904
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: think is a calming influence. And again it's that all

905
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: that doubt. And you even saw it some after the

906
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: game when they had the camera close up on him

907
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: and he says, sorry, bro, you know I lost the game.

908
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 2: For us or whatever.

909
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: He says, yeah, which is a totally different attitude than

910
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: he had last year. I think he's way more endearing

911
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: to his teammates, you know, this version of Zach Wilson

912
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: than he was previously. Long story short, red. He's not

913
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: like to say that he's fixed. No, he still has

914
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: a lot of he still has a lot of growth.

915
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: But I looked it up. Man, he's twenty four years old.

916
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: Like this dude is still twenty four And the one

917
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: thing I would like to put to bed, he look,

918
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: that might be the best game he ever plays. He

919
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: may be. He could be out of the league in

920
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: two years. I don't know, we'll find out. But the

921
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: whole narrative that he was just one throw at a

922
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: pro day and that's why he got drafted, I might

923
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: just stop, just stop. Like the guy has elite traits

924
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: coming out like he made ridiculous in game throws. He's

925
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: very athletic. All that stuff's there. But if you were

926
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: going to say, you know, what's a tough position to

927
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: go on. Well, you're gonna go someplace that's extremely high

928
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: pressure on you at that position, a ton of attention.

929
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: You don't have a great offensive line. When you get there,

930
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: you're going to cycle through offenses and offensive coordinators and

931
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: then your confidence is going to be shot. And oh,

932
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: by the way, you play in a division with Bill

933
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: Belichick McDermott and then a Dolphins team that's had as

934
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: much talent as anybody since he's come into the league.

935
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: Like it was crappy hand, the kid got dealt. All

936
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that nothing's been determined. And this doesn't

937
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: mean he's going to be good because he played one

938
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: good game, but hey, look for one day, you'd be

939
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: excited that there are steps taken forward in a positive manner.

940
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would actually kind of characterize it as I

941
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: feel like he had his best eight hours as a pro.

942
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: Like when you talk about putting your eight hours in,

943
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 2: you know, just like putting it putting in a workday,

944
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 2: and that means you know, that means your preparation going

945
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: into the game, you know your the whole deal, and

946
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: then it also means how you react after the game. Right,

947
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: because we've seen that go the other way, you know

948
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: with Zach. But I thought it was really telling to

949
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: see Randall Cobb and Alan Lazard coming up come up

950
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: to him after the turnover and be like, hey, we

951
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: got you. You know, like this can win. If you're

952
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 2: playing like this for four quarters, we can win. We

953
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 2: can back each other up here, like this is something

954
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 2: we can kind of feed off now and build off

955
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: moving forward. It felt like there was this, like it's

956
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 2: kind of a come together moment there for that offense,

957
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 2: and maybe maybe they hadn't d you know, truly in

958
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: one of those tough situations yet. So I thought that

959
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 2: was kind of cool to see. And then, you know,

960
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 2: Zach stand up after the game. You know, obviously you

961
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: got to can't take your eye off the ball on

962
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: a snap like that, right, got to make sure you

963
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: secure secure That's that's priority one. Secure the ball and

964
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: then let's go play. And obviously just didn't there and

965
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: that ended up leading to it. But that final drive

966
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: was kind of insane for the Chiefs, the amount of

967
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: penalties that were called on that thing. And I think

968
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people are talking about the sauce gardner,

969
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: you know, Kai, yeah, maybe by letter of the law.

970
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: It's a hole, you know, and you hate to see

971
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: it on a third and twenty right, and there's a

972
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: couple of different plays, a couple of I mean, Patrick

973
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: Mahomes is sitting back there for seven seconds before he

974
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: ends up taking that open run with for the twenty

975
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: five yard scramble. You know, playing man coverage in that

976
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: situation is risky business, isn't it if you're if you're

977
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: the Jets.

978
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: So I'm going back and I'm pulling this up because, yeah,

979
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: the game in Mexico City in twenty nineteen, I'm down there,

980
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: it's Chargers Chiefs, it's late, and Mahomes ended up with

981
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: five rushes for fifty nine yards with a long of

982
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: twenty four. And I believe late in this game it

983
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: was again another like twenty Maybe maybe that was a

984
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty four yard run, but it was a third down,

985
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: third and forever and uh and he ends up break

986
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: just being fast enough, and it's the last thing you're

987
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: thinking of, you take away everything else, and all of

988
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: a sudden it's like, oh crap, you mean to tell

989
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: me this dude can run too? And he does it

990
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: and he he's usually pretty good. If you go back

991
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: and look at every big game that he's played in,

992
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: he has one or two of these runs that extend drives.

993
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: Every single time he has in an eight feel of

994
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: just knowing, oh, there's enough I can go at that,

995
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: and he goes and does it. It's it's incredible. It's

996
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's one of the reasons why you know,

997
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: when I've talked to it. I remember it was Gus

998
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: Bradley or who it was. It was a defensive coordinator

999
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: was talking to about him. And obviously nobody says they

1000
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: have the answers with Patrick Mahomes, but one of the

1001
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: keys was everybody says, oh, you've got to keep him

1002
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:19,959
Speaker 1: in the pocket. You got to keep him in the pocket.

1003
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: Their thing was, we're okay, if he gets flushed out

1004
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: right or if he gets flushed out left. The thing

1005
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: you can't do is open up lanes where he can

1006
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: run shoulders squared towards the line of scrimmage in the

1007
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: middle of the field, because not only then do you

1008
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: have to worry about him running, but now he can

1009
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: access every blade of grass on the entire field like that.

1010
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's made some incredible all the way out

1011
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: to the sideline to the right, maybe throw it back

1012
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: to the hash, but I mean he can't get it

1013
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: to the other sideline from there. When you're in the

1014
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: middle of the field, you literally have to defend from

1015
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: one sideline to the other sideline. But there were some

1016
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: they just had some creases and he was able to

1017
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: get up in there and then and then you're in trouble.

1018
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean it's a tough spot to be in,

1019
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: right because you feel like if you're playing zone coverage

1020
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: in some of those situations too, Travis Kelcey's got the

1021
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 2: knack for finding the open window right and and Mahomes

1022
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: gives him such latitude to do that. I mean, it's

1023
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 2: kind of a no win situation. I don't know what

1024
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: the right call is there. I just know that that

1025
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 2: was about as as you know, free a runway on

1026
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: a third and twenty right up the gut, right up

1027
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: the middle that you'll ever see. And and it obviously

1028
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: it paid off for the Chiefs.

1029
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: But I take nothing away from them either, by the way.

1030
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that wasn't there. That wasn't their best effort,

1031
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't their best performance. Pat didn't have a great game.

1032
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 2: About the checko though.

1033
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that gave him something, you know, it's a

1034
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: nice balance for him. And that's I go back to

1035
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, you know, talking about the Chiefs, I go

1036
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: back to what we said about the Eagles. Just stack them,

1037
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: just just throw wins up there. Doesn't have to be

1038
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: pretty then't that have to be your best. But they

1039
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: just know how to win in those winning moments. They

1040
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: definitely pulled that off a last one. Rhtt. This was

1041
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: just I feel like we've gone close games and man,

1042
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: butt kickings. This would be a butt kicking and this

1043
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: was the Textans thirty to six over the Steelers.

1044
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: And man, this was a lot of This was really

1045
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 2: cool to see. And you know, you had JJ Watt

1046
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: in the building going up in the Ring of honor.

1047
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: TJ Watt obviously there too, and I honestly thought TJ

1048
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 2: Watt might give you know, CJ. Stroud and the text

1049
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 2: in some trouble, you know, the offensive lines beat up

1050
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: at the tackle spot. But CJ is a cool customer.

1051
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: Man.

1052
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 2: It's getting to the point right now where even if

1053
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 2: I don't select this game as one of our eight

1054
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: to talk about, I got to want to watch it.

1055
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: I just want It's just it's too much fun, especially

1056
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: when you can watch the trajectory of some of his

1057
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 2: throws from the end zone copies. It's like, yeah, it's

1058
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 2: a thing of beauty. It's like watching the NFL films

1059
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 2: like Spiral right, the close up spiral that they got

1060
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: in slow motion. Man, he's good. Look. I think credit

1061
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: to Bobby Slowick too, because they've got some real comfortability.

1062
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: He has built in some real comfortability with with things

1063
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 2: that CJ. Stroud can do really well. Like they've run

1064
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 2: a goal line RPO. That's a thing of beauty. I mean,

1065
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: it's just it is a simple read. He sees nobody

1066
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 2: in the in the middle of the field. Here, pulls

1067
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: the ball out of Damian Pierce's stomach. Bang, trust Nico

1068
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: Collins to get inside on a slant route and it's

1069
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: like bang, bang, you know, no shot for the Steelers

1070
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 2: right there, and it's a touchdown. He's got another RPO

1071
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 2: where he sees the pressure kind of developing before it

1072
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: even happens. He's going to have unblocked pressure and then

1073
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 2: he's like, bamn, I'm going right to Nico Collins. I mean,

1074
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 2: the ball comes out right. It's just it's a lot

1075
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: of fun to see and so I'm watching these throws, right,

1076
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, these guys me he is CJ's

1077
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: on the money, which you know, isn't strange. What's what's

1078
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: a superpower? It's accurately right, It's it's all places we

1079
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: talk about all the time. And and I'm like, man,

1080
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: these guys are are catching the ball and they are running.

1081
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of times, you know, we'll

1082
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: use you know, a box score to look for a

1083
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 2: trend that maybe you want to dig deeper into. Right,

1084
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, you see a team goes you know, two

1085
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: or twelve on third downs? All right, what was what

1086
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 2: was going on? So we'll go we'll get those third downs? Well,

1087
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: this was the opposite. It was kind of like what

1088
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: you were talking about earlier in the show. And I'm like,

1089
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: I wonder, I wonder what they're acquas this week for

1090
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 2: the Texans. Yeah, well sure enough. They led the league

1091
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 2: in yack yardage this week with one hundred and seventy

1092
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: eight yards. And and is that is that? Because you

1093
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 2: know Nicocollins and uh, you know John Metchi and Brevin

1094
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: Jordan to Tank Dell. I mean, like they're good players, right,

1095
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 2: who would the ability to generate yards after the catch.

1096
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 2: But a big piece of that is CJ. Stroud putting

1097
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 2: that thing on the money. None more beautiful than the

1098
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 2: third and seven corner round from the slot by Nico

1099
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 2: with under four minutes to go. I mean it just

1100
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 2: it doesn't get much better and c J. Stroud is

1101
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 2: just dotting them up right now.

1102
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: All right, let me give you I'll piggyback that stat

1103
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: with the with another one third down if we say

1104
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: third downs of money down right, yep. CJ. Stroud on

1105
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: third down this year is forty for fifty six with

1106
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: four touchdowns no picks. His adjusted completion percentage, meaning what

1107
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: his completion percentage should be, is best in the league

1108
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: eighty six point three percent on third third down down

1109
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: eighty six point three.

1110
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: DJ. Do you remember my takeaway from the Texans game

1111
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 2: in Week one? This dude was fourteen to sixteen on

1112
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 2: third down. Yeah, like, and they didn't convert every one

1113
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: of them, but like, that's incredible.

1114
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: That's where that is absolutely outstanding for a guy in

1115
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: his first four starts to be to be sitting there

1116
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: and again not turning the football over. Four touchdowns, no picks.

1117
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: He's been sacked three times, but They've had four drop

1118
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: passes on there. His completion percentage I believe is like

1119
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: seventy three percent, but adjusted completion percentage would put him

1120
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: at eighty six percent, which is incredibly stupid. So he

1121
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: is off to a great start and they are looking

1122
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: like they not only have found their guy, but they've

1123
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: got a chance to And we were thinking maybe this

1124
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence's division for the.

1125
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: No, they're vibing right now.

1126
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: No, they're ready to go.

1127
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 2: He got the defense.

1128
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, yeah, so fun times, fun times in Houston.

1129
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: Any any other games you want to touch on before

1130
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: we jump out of here.

1131
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,919
Speaker 2: Let's see what do we uh? What do we miss?

1132
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean Baltimore Cleveland obviously, you know the Shawn Watson.

1133
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: I think that's really unfortunate for the Browns. You know,

1134
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 2: he plays his best game as a Brown last week

1135
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: and then you know, unable to go.

1136
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: I argue that that was the best thing. Can I

1137
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: argue that was the best thing for the Browns because

1138
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: you did not want I mean.

1139
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: This is you don't want DTR to go off.

1140
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: DTR comes in there and goes off, and you're like, well, wait,

1141
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: we're with Deshaun Watson. Committed with financially, he's not going anywhere,

1142
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, now you got every game, Like,

1143
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know the other guy I think is better

1144
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: than he is. Well, that was put. That was put

1145
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: the rest quickly.

1146
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The other thing I would say, in terms

1147
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: of takeaways, the NFC South might be the Tampa Bay

1148
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 2: Buccaneers division. And I'm going to tell you right now,

1149
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that I predicted it.

1150
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: No, well, I don't think that division is decided by

1151
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: any stretch. The only thing I would sell to atlant

1152
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta does not look good. That would be the other

1153
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: side of it. But uh, I mean it's yeah, it's

1154
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be. Uh, it's theirs to win.

1155
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: The Saints, I don't know what their deal is and

1156
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: that's just, uh, that's a tough one to figure out.

1157
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: That's why that's just thirty three yards for Alvin Kamara.

1158
00:50:59,080 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

1159
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: That's the one of the one of the weirdest stat lines.

1160
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 1: The Panthers, they are zero and four many. They don't

1161
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: have anybody for Bryce Young. I feel bad for him.

1162
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: I know there's probably some times he held the ball

1163
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: a little bit long, but I don't know what they're

1164
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: supposed to do with what he's working with. The Vikings

1165
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: get a much needed win, Vikings sitting at one and three.

1166
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: But I still feel like very much alive, very much.

1167
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: Everything's still in front of them. I don't think that

1168
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: division strung.

1169
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 2: You'd like to think so, right, so they'll be okay,

1170
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: this could really you know, we're talking about Bucky not

1171
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 2: being here. He's going to go meet the day he

1172
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: was in London to see the Jags. We'll get the

1173
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: win over the Falcons, kind of hang on if they're

1174
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 2: building an early lead. This could turn out to be

1175
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 2: a kind of pivotal point for the Jags, a two

1176
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 2: week stretch where they kind of get away from the

1177
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 2: expectation state side, where they were struggling a little bit,

1178
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 2: kind of come together on the road in London and

1179
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: play two back to back game they get if they

1180
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 2: beat the Bills. This I'm not saying they're going to

1181
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't and I won't pick them too, but this

1182
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 2: this you'll look back on this as being like a

1183
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 2: real pivotal stretch for Jackson.

1184
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: No doubt. And we touched on the Niners a little

1185
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: bit earlier. I mean, look, McCaffrey goes off. I mean

1186
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: he was on un stoppable perty doesn't throw in completions.

1187
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: It's again, they're on cruise They're on cruise control. Yeah,

1188
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: one completion, they're on cruise control. And look that being said,

1189
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: seventeen to ten and a half or sorry, twenty one

1190
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 1: to ten at half. At least the Cardinals are they fight,

1191
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: they get us there, Yeah, they end up. It's gosh,

1192
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: what was it was twenty one to sixteen in the

1193
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: third quarter of this game and they give up fourteen

1194
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: and the fourth. So they're competing. They're competing, they're playing hard.

1195
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: They don't have the guys they need, but it'll be

1196
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: interesing to see what their timeline is with with Kyler.

1197
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, real quick before we go, just because it's

1198
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 2: it's setting up that way at least as it stands

1199
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 2: through four weeks, Bears with picks one in two. I know,

1200
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 2: it's unbelievad Are you are you? Are you a quarterback?

1201
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 2: Are you quarterbacking Arvin Harrison? Or you are quarterback and

1202
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 2: offensive tackle?

1203
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 1: No, I am quarterback in trade and get the farm

1204
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: for the second quarterback. Hopefully you don't have to go

1205
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 1: too far. Hopefully there's somebody that's in the top five.

1206
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 1: That's that's Jones and who that second quarterback is still

1207
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: get He's going to get one of her or then

1208
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: you go to the tackle. Yeah, you get one of

1209
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: those guys or a pass rusher. But to me, it's

1210
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: never been more apparent. And Bryce Young is a great

1211
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: example of this. If you're going to draft a young

1212
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 1: quarterback the early part of his career, every resource goes

1213
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 1: to offense. Apologize to your defensive coordinator. We will try

1214
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: and help you out down the line, but right now

1215
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: we are going to just collect as many weapons and

1216
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: offensive lineman as we can and we'll fix the defense

1217
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: down the road.

1218
